He seemed to embody the instinct that Sullustans were known for off world, he was a risk taker and he was an explorer. Spending many days exploring the volcanic crater that Inyusu Tor inhabited. As the Clone Wars began he was only seven years old, the production of metals and ships on Sullust increased as Sullust alligned itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems who seemed to respect the capitalist nature of the planet. Battles raged above Sullust on several occasions during the Clone Wars, though when he was nine years old the Republic pushed hard against the Separatist fleet that was in orbit. When the fleet retreated Republic forces moved on down to the planet and battle erupted on the surface. The factory was shut down as it was commandeered by the Separatist General as he elected to use its elevated position as a command post, feeling that the Republic would be unwilling to attack it through the city for the risk of civillian casualties. The Republic pushed in anyway, forcing the Sullustans to evacuate from the city. During the commotion and the battle the mating female of Naes Warren, his mother, was killed which would shape Naes life to come. As the Republic became the Empire, SoroSubb more or less seized control of Sullust after being 'requisitioned' by the Empire. The Capatalist Democracy that the Sullustans were proud of, and that had stood for countless years, was now gone. Seeking to make a difference at the age of sixteen Nae joined SoroSubb as a pilot, starting with freighters within two years he was pilotting an old Cutlass-9 Patrol Fighter. While he didn't approve of the Imperials centralist policies, or xenophobic tendencies, as the Rebellion formed he continued to work for SoroSubb and defended shipments from rebel forces. It wasn't until the Empire started to more directly affect Sullust that rebellious thoughts started to enter Naes mind, it started with Sullustans being phased out of important positions on Sullust and more and more shipments being redirected by the Imperial Corps of Engineers due to an unknown project. Though the final straw for Nae was when, at a protest, the rest of his Warren was gunned down by Imperial Stormtroopers. With other like minded individuals he abandoned his post, and formed [i]Lightning Squadron[/i] performing a serious of hit and runs against Imperial Operations in the Brema Sector. Most of the Squadron was destroyed in a skirmish in 5BBY which forced Nae to leave the sector, joining up with another rebel cell he swapped out his old and irrepreably damaged Cutlass for a newer T-65 X-Wing as they began to be introduced to service within the Alliance. Reforming [i]Lightning Squadron[/i] he acted as squadron commander throughout hit and runs in the outer rim, Alliance High Command using them to try and keep the Imperial Fleet off balance enough to take advantage of them. As the Rebellion grew, and the Nebulon-B frigate known that would later be known as [i]The Keep[/i] was acquired Lightning Squadron was re-assigned to act as one of the elite squadrons aboard the ship. As more and more personnel joined, or were sent to, the ship room Nae took too joking that he'd have more room to sleep if he slept in his X-Wing rather than in his quarters. After an engagement down the Hydian Way Nae was promoted to Major and made the CAG to replace the one who died in battle. During the battle of Anaxes Naes squadron was tasked with escorting the gunships, he lost a single X-Wing. A rookie by the name of Dev Morgan, and while that was bad enough it is still a sore spot with the squadron that the gunships under their care were lost. After repairs, and until a new mission is assigned Nae is working relentlessly to ensure that no pilot can be seen as 'green' before their next engagement.
