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.

A New Beginning

After signing up to the Trade Federation military he was picked up in a Bayonet-class Light Cruiser by Jack Hildor and headed to the Amorris system and in it the aptly named planet Amorris. This martins first time on-board a capital ship, his inquisitive side took over and he began searching the ship from top to bottom looking forward to the day when he himself would be flying one. Upon landing at the designated training area on the planet ammoris he quickly disembarked looking forward to learning the skills necessary to surviving on any battlefield, ranging from space to ground. It was here martin first met his friend and mentor for his entire Trade Federation career, Kage Renbukai. At this time Kage was only a captain within the army,but was still the inspirational leader he is now.

Martin quickly completed his training and was on course to joining the navy under what would be his commanding officer Jack Hildor, but kage brought him aside one night and talked to him about a different career path, one within the army. Martin quickly accepted this offer due to the promise of better promotion prospects due to the smaller nature of the army to the navy and that kage was a promising leader to follow, and follow he did within days martin's transfer request was approved by the then navy commanding officer.
