[b]Character Alignment:[/b] Chaotic Good

[b]Character Background:[/b] Huc was born on Corellia in the year 15BBY, years after the formation of the Empire and their stranglehold over the galaxy. His parents were laborers in the Corellia Shipyards, and led a simple, yet safe, life under the eye of the Empire. Neither were fans of the totalitarian state, but held their opinions to themselves in order to protect their young son. Huc's earliest memories were his father sitting with him as they watched the ships come and go from the shipyards. Sal, his father, would explain the capabilities of each ship and Huc would dream of flying away on one. Like all Corellians, he had a wanderlust that the Empire would no longer allow, especially for someone of his class.

As he grew, his parents' treatment at the hands of the Empire as well as being stuck on a planet he was beginning to see as a prison began to form his hatred of the Empire. This was all crystallized when his mother died in a shipyard accident caused by the Empire overworking the shipyard employees. The loss devastated Huc and Sal, sending the latter into a state of full on radicalization. He began meeting with a group that called itself the Corellian Resistance. The group began as nothing more than a secret forum for people to vent their frustrations. Huc was allowed to attend the meetings, setting him down the path that would consume his destiny.

Everything changed after the Battle of Yavin. As news of the Death Star's destruction spread, the Resistance on Corellia became emboldened. Outright sabotage of Imperial efforts in the shipyards became the norm, and some radical members of the group began outright attacking Imperial installations. 

Seeing that true insurrection was impossible without support from the upstart Rebel Alliance, Sal devised a drastic plan. He would steal a YT-2000 light freighter from the shipyards and use it as a blockade runner to supply the rebel band. Huc was adamant he join his father, arguing that he was now at an age where he could no longer be protected. So the father and son infiltrated the shipyards and stole the freighter from under the nose of the Empire, and made contact with a Rebel cell.

For the next few years the two of them were the critical supply link between the Rebellion and the Corellian Resistance. They ran blockades, smuggled contraband, and even performed prison breaks using the ship, which Sal named the Corellian Dawn.

Huc began training with the fighters of the Resistance, becoming an able commando in his own right. While not proficient in the skills, he could slice into simpler systems when needed. But his true calling was flying the Dawn, which his father taught him how to do. He was a natural, and could adeptly fill in for his father when needed.

The Resistance was successful in disrupting the shipyards, buying the Rebellion time and infuriating the local governor. This eventually led to a more sizable garrison on the planet, as well as the nefarious replacement of local workers with slave labor to ensure compliance. This made life for the Resistance harder, and the fighting became more desperate across Corellia.

Eventually, they were given word that the Rebellion was going to make a decisive strike on the Empire soon. To coincide with this, the Corellian Resistance planned to cripple the Imperial presence on the planet. Using a major guerrilla-style attack throughout Coronet City, the Resistance systematically wiped out Stormtroopers en mass while the ships they had assaulted the shipyards and freed the slaves held there.

It was during this mission that tragedy once again struck Huc's life. Sal was covering a group of slaves as they boarded the Dawn, and was shot down by a Stormtrooper. Unable to retrieve his father's body, Huc escaped with the liberated workers and was never able to bury his father properly. But the mission was a success, the Empire on Corellia was greatly weakened, and Huc knew that's all Sal would have cared about in the end. Now he and his wife were joined in the Force.

From this tragedy came opportunity. In the group of slaves he rescued were Yu'li Tavir, a Togrutan that was about his age, as well as the Herglic named Gor-Nada, who fancied himself Yu'li's surrogate father. Yu and Huc bonded quickly, as neither had many peers in their same age group inside the Resistance ranks. It turned out Yu'li was a crack shot with nearly any weapon handed to her, and she could man the guns of the Corellian Dawn like a pro. Her mischievous ways partnered with Huc's easygoing attitude led to the pair getting in more trouble than they should have in Resistance headquarters. It was usually Gor that had to reprimand them. He had become a mechanic for the Resistance, and was a whiz when it came to repairing the Dawn. The two became the permanent crew for the ship, and Huc was happy to have a family again.

When the fledgling New Republic decided to fully liberate Corellia, Huc, the Corellian Dawn, and her new crew took part in the Battle of Corellia, helping the New Republic fleet to drive the Empire out of the important ship yard. After the battle, they were offered official commission to join the Fleet, but Huc had other ideas. He had waited too long to explore the galaxy, and thought that being tied to orders from the New Republic Navy would hinder those opportunities. Instead, he proposed that the Dawn and her crew would be privateers in the service of the New Republic. They would raid Remnant shipping lines and merchant vessels, taking some of the profits while delivering the rest to the nearest Republic base. The proposal was accepted, and the Dawn set out across the galaxy to do just that.

Along their travels, Huc "acquired" an AC series pilot droid to act as his co-pilot aboard the Dawn, and Yu purchased a domesticated Loth-cat known as Fuzzball as a pet.

The crew is currently in the Outer Rim, on the planet Batuu, hunting rumors of Imperial expeditions into the Unknown regions...

[b]Character Personality:[/b] Huc is driven by his desire to see the Empire wiped out for their crimes against the galaxy. He believes fully in the promise of the New Republic, and has hope the new Jedi Order can keep the peace in the galaxy. He is dedicated to helping those that need it, some times to the point of folly or endangering his mission. This can lead to friction with his crewmates, who are more focused on profit and moving onto the next job, but his easygoing and fun-loving attitude often leads to quick forgiveness. He is a smooth talked, and even though he bares scars from his freedom fighter days, he uses his handsomeness to his advantage. His swashbuckling demeanor is used to paint over the deep seeded pain he still carries from losing his family, however, something only Yu'li truly knows about him.

He's never happier than when he is behind the helm of his ship, the Corellian Dawn. Flying is the thing he truly is best at, and he never passes up an opportunity to show off. His co-pilot, the reprogrammed Star Tour pilot droid AC-DK known as "Duck", often reprimands his flying style.

During missions, Huc never kills those that don't deserve it. Only military targets such as Stormtroopers, TIE pilots, or Imperial Remnant Officers are liable to be killed. This can sometimes lead to trouble, as raided merchants often send the authorities after the Dawn, and sometimes Huc's crew believe he enjoys being chased.

Huc loathes the leftover racism that still lingers after the Empire's rule, and is fiercely protective of Yu'li and Gor, even though they don't need him to be.

Huc's greatest and most prized possession is the YT-2000 Light Freighter named Corellian Dawn. This fast, strong, and shielded ship has gotten him and his crew out of countless jams, and is quickly becoming both famous and infamous depending on what side of the conflict one is on.

Gor-Nada has done many enhancements on the ship, including supercharging the sublight engines, adding a small ion cannon used to disable prey, and a quick locking/unlocking airlock system for fast getaways.[/hider]

[hider=Weapons][list]
[*] A pair of Clone Wars era DC-17 blaster pistols
[*] A small vibroknife he kept on his belt in case of close quarters combat
[*] He kept blast charges and thermal detonators on the Corellian Dawn in case they wanted to blow up a pirated ship from the inside.

[b]Supporting Characters:[/b]

[hider=Yu'li Tavir]
[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/1CheuTd.jpg?1[/img][/center]
Yu'li is Huc's closest friend and confidant. She has traveled and fought by his side since he helped liberate her from the Corellian Shipyards as an Imperial slave. She knows exactly how to push his buttons, and her mischievous side enjoys getting on his nerves. Like Huc, she lost her parents, though she does not know if they are alive or dead, as they were all split up when they were put into slavery. She hopes to one day find them, and Huc hopes to be able to help her do so. In battle she is a crack shot, and often mans one of the gun turrets on the Dawn when needed.[/hider]

[hider=Gor-Nada]
[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/4kTT2Jg.jpg[/img][/center]
The massive Herglic Gor-Nada is the conscience of the crew. Slow to anger and reluctant to participate in violence if it can be avoided, he is the steady hand that guides the younger, more impetuous views of Huc and Yu'li. He is a mechanical whiz, and keeps the Dawn running at peak efficiency. He protects his family when necessary, and is terrifying when angered. He loves to cook, and insists on doing so by hand whenever he can. He is also a gardener, and has installed terrariums on the Dawn.[/hider]

[hider=AC-DK]
[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/zIav4fe.jpg?1[/img][/center]
AC-DK, or "Duck" as he is known by the crew, was a former Star Tours commercial starliner AC series pilot droid. Huc "acquired" him from a bet with a Star Tours representative during the Boonta Eve Classic podrace on Tattooine. While Duck continues to insist the representative had no legal right to wager him and claims he is stolen property, he acts as the Dawn's copilot non the less. While Huc has done his best to slice it out of him, his commercial pilot programming often has him uncomfortable with Huc's more risky flying style.[/hider]

[hider=Fuzzball]
[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/xIo7vk0.jpg?2[/img][/center]
A domesticated Loth-cat that is devoted to her master, Yu'li. She does not like Huc.[/hider]
