Veraxus Umbragg

== Background ==
=== Early Life ===
Veraxus Umbragg was born on TI-789k, Year 9, Month 4, Day 19, Before the Great Resynchronization. Umbragg doesn't talk about his youth very much so based of records he signed joining the Republic Navy his mother was Boliva Renapash, the reason for the difference in last name is not known, could be adoption or mere tradition on the Planet.
TI-789k is a rogue planet thousands of parsecs outside and above of the Galactic Disk, a group of humans seemed to live there since before the Republic knew of it's existence. They lived in deep ravines and caverns into the planet housing settlements. The planet was terrestrial and had large rings and a few larger asteroids in orbit. Rich in certain valuable deposits, they burned oil like liquids from below the surface to power their cities. Their demographics were 100% human.
Either way the Exploratory branch of Outer Rim Oreworks located their planet and attempted to exploit its valuable resources to their fullest, they encountered armed resistance on the surface, a member of which was Veraxus Umbragg, age 17 at the time. The resistance fighters moved with speed fast enough to capture the dropships they landed one. And one of Veraxus's co-militants was able to get one up to the main ship with little difficulty. The boarding action was much more costly in human lives their assault slowed enough for a distress beacon to be sent and the Republic Judiciary Forces to respond.
Judiciary Forces brokered a peace between the sides, Outer Rim Oreworks was ordered to leave the planet alone, and the Republic would begin efforts to bring TI-789k into their fold, though in fine print this came with exclusive permissions for the Republic to mine the resources of the planet. Veraxus was seen guarding TI-789k's negotiator.
=== Pre-Navy ===
As the Republic began allow immigration and emigration to the rouge planet Veraxus decided to move to the Mid Rim, specifically Naboo. Working a few jobs before using money he apparently gained from transferring local money on TI-789k to Republic Credits, he paid for medical school and worked diligently getting the highest of his class when he graduated.
=== The Clone Wars ===
Joining the Republic Navy as the Clone Wars broke out he was stationed aboard the IF-Causam as a Petty Officer Third Class, Medical Officer. He saved countless throughout the war but due to lacking command his achievements were rarely recognized. He remained POIII until the Battle of Umbara where the IF-Causam suffered a strike from a Proton Torpedo taking out a large portion of the crew, including the CSMO. 
While Umbragg was promoted to fill the position it was 1 rank, this menial promotion mostly due to confrontations with the Lieutenant Commander over actions in the field.
=== Imperial Era ===
During Order 66 Veraxus Umbragg was on shore leave in the Lower Levels of Coruscant, he saw a group of Coruscant Guard patrolling with a Padawan. One in the back received the contingency order and the Guard ordered the Jedi to surrender for their crimes against the Republic. The Jedi ignited their lightsaber and a quick fight took place in which the guard were swiftly cut down. Veraxus and a Friend he was eating with got up and pulled their blasters on the Jedi, taking a few pot shots while running at the Padawan. They were easily deflected and the Jedi threw it's lightsaber at them Veraxus was saved by his friend pushing him out of the way, unfortunately the blade went clean through the skull of his friend. Veraxus watched as the body fell on him and his head split open. He pulled his gun once again but the Jedi was gone and more Coruscant Guard were rounding the corner, Veraxus did what he could for the single survivor of the attempted arrest of the Padawan. 
Months after this, news came over the television, the first ISD to face destruction in the field, the ISD-Phaedra, it's crew were facing a tribunal on the surface of Kuat where they were docked. He only remembered the headline, "Incompetent Officer Arcandal Hex kill 27,000 men and women aboard the ISD-Phaedra". Veraxus would most certainly never forget that name, his job as a saver of men made him loath the woman. And it only increased a thousand fold when he heard the IF-Causam was being renamed to the Defectum, and sections of the Phaedra's crew were coming on board. "Called a failure cause of one person's failings, and a practically treasonous officer permitted to keep their life, not to mention continue work in the Navy" Veraxus was angered, years of worked, just to be shoved in with misfits and depression patients.
==== ISD-Vindicator ====
After months of service the crew returned to an ISD, the Vindicator, and for excellency in service, Veraxus followed, usually having a team of 1 or less, on the Vindicator he shortly changed that. Through luck and effort he grew the INMD to an effecting medical and scientific crew. Running his own on-board experiments on specimens he's looking to find ways to save soldiers from the curse that is hideous cybernetics, and from a specimen captured by TK Pops, he has hope he might've found it.
Besides that he consistently butts heads with the Lieutenant Commander as he insists on arresting the medical staff on any minor infraction.
== Personal Details ==
=== Appearance ===
Umbragg stands at 6'2" and 248 pounds with a large build, to the point he's one of the stronger members of the Vindicator's crew. His skin is pale due to the lack of any natural UV light on TI-789k and his eyes red, though that seems to more be a genetic quirk the population has. He has short hair including facial, as for the longest time he chose to go completely bald. He remains relatively unscarred as most hostile encounters he partakes in he is uninjured.
=== Personality ===
Time has worn down Veraxus's willingness to consider his coworkers as friends. He holds himself to a standard he rarely reaches, and though it's his job tries to limit the influence deaths have over him. He will hold his stronger convictions till death, and is willing to risk lives including his own to prove himself right.
==== Relationships ====
===== Daniel Palk =====
Daniel is one of the few Veraxus will openly call his friend, though the main reason for this is more cause Veraxus trusts he wont die. After Palk has proved himself capable in medicine and defense, Palk and Umbragg's shared demeanor and prejudice's has made them close.
