The life of Martin Oberan
Early days
On Neimoidia hatchlings are quickly taught the necessity of greed and aggressiveness, the first years of their lives are lived in. Martin was treated exactly the same as every other new born that year. Unlike many of his brethren Martin thrived here, a cunning nature and willingness to use physical force. Life was still hard in the colony but as one of those at the top Martin found it more comfortable than most.
His survival was assured at the cost of his several siblings, little else of note happened until he left the colony at the age of seven. Being one of the more notable specimens he was taken as an apprentice by Lord Brier. This Neimoidian was one of the wealthiest and an uncle to the young Oberan. He owned several companies producing ship parts to droids, running banks and offices. He was also one of the most corrupt and cold people you could ever have the misfortune to meet. He would invite you into his house and then use bylaws and other means too make sure your wallet was left much lighter.
Martin learnt quite quickly though not quite a ruthless as his mentor he was showing promise, he soon had a thorough grasp of basic, galactic law and Neimoidian business practices. At the age of ten he was running a small section of one of his uncles businesses and was set to inherit his uncles fortune. But Martin wasn’t willing to wait that long, by the time he was fifteen he had set a plan in motion that would have given him power over all the company assets but there was one problem. Lord Brier had long suspected Martins possible treachery and was ready for him.
In a hail of blaster fire Martin was forced to flee the compound he had lived in, bribing one of his uncles pilots to help him escape the planet. His pride and his wallet wounded he spend almost a year just drifting through space, landing on a handful of planets and none taking his fancy. It was at the end of this year that he found his accounts had been suspended, penniless he was trapped on the planet he’d landed on.
He needed money, he was in luck though. His physical strength, his cunning and intelligent mind lent itself readily to a military career. From Varno he joined up with the Trade Federation, partly for the money but mostly for the Neimoidian influence that still proliferated the government. Here he would rebuild and someday strike back against his uncle and claim what should be his.
