Almost everyone agreed that the Republic was corrupt, but no one could agree on what to do about it, or if anything could be done at all. It only escalated with the onset of the Naboo Crisis when Zaall was thirteen years old (human equivalent: 16-17), ending with the death of a Jedi, the appointment of Sheev Palpatine to Supreme Chancellor, and what was effectively a slap on the wrist for the Trade Federation. As tensions rose, people took sides as a new political movement began through the Republic; the idea to secede and start a new galactic power through what would become the Separatist Movement. Dosh as a planet was caught between the secessionists and the loyalists, leading to heated debates and more than one street fight. Many left, including Zaall and his parents, though they kept in contact with his siblings who had carved out a life and decided to stay on Dosh. Tensions rose, coming to a crescendo with the Battle of Geonosis, when a group of secessionists that would later form the backbone of the CIS attempted to execute two jedi and a senator in front of the entire galaxy, only to be stopped with the unveiling of the jedi and their new clone army. As the clone wars raged, Zaall found himself sick of it all. Sick of the rampant corruption in the Republic, but also sick of the senseless violence caused by the Separatists. His parents were Republic citizens, and so was he, but his siblings sided with the CIS, and would join a plot later in the war to capture a Republic Acclamater-Class assault ship named the [i]Prosecutor[/i], and would never be heard from again. His parents would go on to retire, having both accomplished their own personal hunts, and not wanting any part in what was happening to the Galaxy. Zaall himself wouldn’t be untouched by the war, as a CIS invasion would hit his new home planet of Antamont, and refusing to let the droids march over his family, having heard too many horror stories of what the CIS did to civilian POWs, he took up a blaster and worked alongside other families to defend his new home. The battle of Antamont would last for mere months, but in that time Zaall would serve with valor and distinction, eventually being awarded a medal for valor by the planet’s senator. Through it all, having grown up in a time of political strife, war, and constant brawls over who you supported, Zaall would want nothing more than for the whole mess to somehow… stop. It was childish to think the whole system could be fixed by one Trandoshan who was just tired of the noise, but he still decided to try, finding his ‘hunt’ in life to be one for change. Or, failing that, to help someone else who could. So, with his resume of having served in a militia force during the battle of Antamont, and being far from a persuasive politician, he did what he could, and went into private security. Now, years later, Zaall has found himself climbing up to the personal bodyguard of a member of the galactic senate, and sees himself as closer to his goal than ever. However, he’s leery of the jedi’s sudden takeover of the senate, having seen their brand of ‘peacekeeping’ work across the galaxy throughout the war, having seen their handling of the Naboo crisis, and research into the numerous occasions where they tried to ‘help’. As far as he knows, they’re lying about the true identity of Sheev Palpaptine, and are acting to seize power while they can.[/indent][/indent] [/hider] [/hider] [/quote] Accepted, but wait next time.
