Thix Barkon

• Thix was born and raised in a colony on Dantooine, leading an uneventful life as a son of a farmer on the outskirts of the town. Despite the fact that he suspected he had Force sensitivity (after reading and research), he never knew for a fact until a traveling Jedi from Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin IV came through, and determined he was. Even with this knowledge, Thix wanted to stay on Dantooine. However, pressure from the Jedi and his friends and parents convinced him to attend. At age 15, he left Dantooine for Yavin IV. He studied for a couple years with two other colonists from Dantooine who were Force-sensitive. They left as Jedi Knights before Thix had gone through half his training. Thix had watched them leave and, seconds later, a second ship touched down, bearing two new students--Jacen and Jaina Solo. Thix became friends with them and they remain on good terms, though because of the nature of his status in the Academy, a truly close friendship never came about. Despite this, whenever he is in the area he makes sure to pay them a visit.
• At age 18, one year after the twins came to the Academy, the students heard that there was an Imperial fleet attacking the world of Hapes. Naturally, Tenel Ka dashed off, and Thix hopped into a X-Wing that was old and shaky but operable--thanks to the Academy's staff and the mechanically talented Jaina--and sped away after her. Once he arrived, he joined up with a squadron that was taking a beating--Green Squadron. A large number of craft were lost in the battle, along with three-quarters of Green group. Despite the fight that the Rebels put up, the Imperials obtained their objective even after suffering horrendous losses.
• Thix returned to the Academy and studied for only one week before he was called into battle again. Green Squadron was without a flight leader, and the old pilots had voted Thix in. Thix decided that, after getting settled in with the squadron, he'd be able to return to pick up training in the Academy on leave days and lulls in the war. After some time Thix and the squadron members opted to change the squadron's name to Nemesis, hoping to make a more intimidating front than the not-as-complimenting "Green" squadron had.
• Thix took part in a disconcerting adventure while returning from a battle. In Nemesis Squadron's shuttle, he and the Solo twins crashed into a planet not on their astronavigational charts. The planet's name? Alderaan. Convinced that they were either dreaming or being misled, they explored a bit. Thix was the one who finally found that the planet was a fake, a reproduction that must have cost innumerable credits to produce, and innumerable bribes and murders to keep secret. They were captured and taken to the planet's master, a madman who would soon become all too prevalent in galatic affairs in his sector: Gregor Jarkov. After a few harrowing encounters, they escaped, destroying the fake planet behind them.
• During a battle, Thix's craft was hit by an ion blast and he found himself in the clutches of the dark lord Domino de Devastator. Thrown in prison on Deominia, Thix was subjected to metaphysical torture of possible futures in which his friends died horrible deaths in battle or at the hands of Domino himself. During the raid on the planet by Lord Martel, Thix found himself with an opportunity to escape. On his way out, he rescued two other captured pilots and they made their getaway in a shuttle, using the craft's computer to guide them through the anomalous cloud surrounding the system. A few minutes more and they might have escaped, but Domino's skill in the Force caught up to them. He rendered them unconscious even from his place on the planet so far away, and struck the astronavigation charts from the ship's computer. To this day Thix cannot seem to recall exactly where Deominia was. It remains a cloudy spot in his memory.
• On Yavin, Thix was shot down by a TIE Advanced and found himself stranded in the jungle. There he was set upon by Rayla van Dante, intent on his capture. Remembering his experiences with Domino's forces just a little while earlier, he had no intentions of going back. He fought the assassin, and put up a stiff fight before being subdued. Luckily, he was saved from further imprisonment by Neb Calluna and Alia Trynyty, who were in the area as well.
• A short while after Yavin, Gregor Jarkov made a reappearance, sending his Gray Death to a mining colony. Thix and Nemesis Squadron flew cover for the Jedi and commandos that were sent into the colony to rescue survivors and destroy the creatures. After leaving the battlegrounds, Thix saw a holorecorded message left by Jarkov, and was able to identify him to his superiors and give them a little background to work on.
• Nemesis Squadron was reassigned to Dantooine to function as a home guard, but with more freedom of assignment than the other ships stationed there. Thix found this to be a wonderful turn of events: he found that he could study Jedi lore in his spare time rather than have to take whole days off to visit the Academy. He is progressing well in both the piloting fields and his studies of the Force.
• Thix is about 6'1" tall, and weighs approximately 150 pounds. He has brown, messy hair that reaches just above his shoulders. He has green eyes and is almost never seen without his 'lucky' bandanna somewhere on his person, though he has taken to tying it either around his forearm under his flight suits or stuffing it in the pocket of a dress uniform. He is currently 21 years old and holds the rank of Commander in the Rebel Navy.
