History:
Yisil has been all around the galaxy, coming from simple beginnings he was born on his species homeworld of Glee Anselhm. A gorgeous ocean planet located on the Mid Rim, he spent much of his childhood years swimming deep in the seemingly endless oceans which covered the world. His family was small and tight knit, he loved homeworld but in time grew beyond it. Tales of massive starships and awe inspiring high tech cities fascinated the young Nautolan. He'd often bombard the merchants and tourists that came to the world with questions all about life beyond the planet. As he entered adulthood his family pooled together their credits and bought him a starship, a basic vessel but nonetheless one capable of traveling the stars.
After saying his farewells he left his homeworld, first heading for Coruscant. The world was covered in a sprawling city, and Yisil spent weeks exploring it. Culture shock would set in as he realized how far he was from home, and how different this new world was. There were others of his kind on the galactic capital but they weren't that common. He already possessed a knack with repairing technology and long held a fascination with starships, it was natural that he would seek a career in the field. Yisil decided to head for Corellia, drawn by its fame for being a site where massive spaceships were built. He'd take up an apprenticeship position underneath, Odon Marcharc, an important engineer working for the Corellian Engineering Corporation. As he set up life on Corellia he took advantage of its beautiful environment, in his days off he'd often swim in the massive seas, which reminded him of home.
For several years he worked under Odon, eventually rising up to be the man's top assistant, going from an unpaid apprentice to somebody of importance within the Engineering Corporation. He'd help build everything from starfighters to freighters and larger ships, all the while suggesting new ideas and features to include in each build. Yisil enjoyed his time working with Odon, the human would grow to be one of his closest friends and his mentor. The Nautolan would eventually be contacted by the Republic and offered a position working onboard their ships. He made the tough decision to take the offer, the higher pay and opportunities to explore the galaxy drawing him in. Odon wished him luck in his journeys, making Yisil promise to visit him down the line. The Nautolan made the promise then departed the world, on the move once more.
Yisil would serve as an engineer aboard multiple different vessels, as the Clone Wars began he'd be drawn into the conflict. Never taking a combat role he'd instead maintain the great ships that the Republic depended on. Some times were more stressful than others, as the ships he were stationed on would sometimes come under fire by Separatist forces. Managing to survive this aspect of the war, he seeked to move on to a less dangerous job. Due to his previous dealings with Jedi and his years of exceptional work engineering starships, Yisil applied to work on the Reclamation.
