[b]Backstory:[/b] Gal' Elturbak was a Vesegrak born on the home planet of Vakuria. As a boy, he had always wanted to be a pilot, seeing that his father happened to be one for the CCS. After all, he was a good student in the local militia academy and was also highly-gifted in both piloting and a naturally-capable soldier. Additional training was also provided by his father, who occasionally returned home for several weeks to visit him and his mother, who owned a small business in jewelry. She wasn't too happy for her son's decision to join the CSS, as she was worried that he'll get injured or even killed. Nevertheless, she also understood his decision for wanting to see the whole galaxy as well. 

At the age of 19, Elturbak graduated the Academy and served the local militia for 10 years, before enlisting to the CSS. He was finally fighting along side his father, a childhood-dream finally coming true. For another 25 straight years they've fought both on the ground and in orbit against the many threats that opposed the CSS. However, it was over the battle of Unoha IV when tragedy struck. As he and his father fought against the elite pirate forces, the latter was ultimately hit by an incoming missile. Elturbak watched helplessly as his father gets his ship obliterated in a ball of fire. It would be a victory for the CSS, but not without a heavy price. That day would scar the Vesegrak for the rest of his life, haunting him in his sleep...

Regardless Elturbak continued to serve the CSS, hoping to avenge his father's death. He became more cocky in his nature and sometimes over-confident and reckless in his decisions. He even became more ruthless towards the pirates when killing them and continued to have nightmares and playbacks of his father's death. It seems as if he was slowly and mentally deteriorating from the guilt he carries with him. However, his newfound attitude would eventually bite his ass and make him pay for his insolent behavior, 4 years later. On the ground battle of Quarum's second moon, as he lead a squad straight into battle, an artillery blast from a pirate cannon would hit right below his feet. The explosion ultimately ripped both of his legs and left him on the ground in agonizing pain and suffering. A feeling that was even worse then the mental pain he experienced for the last 4 years.

Only through a shear miracle was Elturbak taken back to a medical frigate and treated for his wounds. Normally, injuries like that would kill the person through mere minutes as he would die by severe blood loss. Somehow he kept himself alive and ultimately underwent major surgery to get new mechanical legs, along with other cybernetic enhancements. Yet this would be the end of his career in the CSS. To their eyes, Elturbak was now handicapped and was no longer capable of fighting in the field of battle. He just couldn't believe it! First his father dies and now he gets injured to the point that he can no longer continue his legacy?! He tries to convince them to let him fight, but alas he couldn't and was forced to retire from service.

Yet he wouldn't let this discourage him from the field of battle. He eventually became a mercenary and moved back to the outer rim worlds, where he hopes to find more jobs to partake in. He was lucky that he was able to still have his [i]Zalagarian[/i] Starship and weapons with him, not just to travel the galaxy, but also as a memorial to his life and dedication as a proud CSS soldier and pilot.
