Only known as "Black 13" by 2 BBY, he served during the Clone Wars for the Confederacy of Independent Systems and became known as the "White Ghost" throughout the war. He would continue to fight for the Separatist cause after the war had ended, fighting for the various Separatist Holdouts until around 11 BBY. After 11 BBY, he threw in his lot with other former Separatists under the Out Riders Pirate Gang.

Born & raised on Nar Shadda to working parents, he became active in local & galactic politics in his teenage years, throwing in his lot with Separatists when he got older. He worked odd flying jobs for the Hutts from 18 years onward until the outbreak of the Clone Wars, gaining his flying experience. He saved up enough galactic credits to buy his own personal CloakShape Fighter, which he has personally modified and flown ever since.

There is no further family (beyond his father & mother), spouse, or children to speak of. He is considered a man of his craft, dedicated to both flying and the Separatist cause (despite losing the Clone Wars). He still has hopes of one day living the Separatist dream, despite being a pirate and leaving the political & military effort in 11 BBY.

## The CloakShape Fighter "White Ghost"

Black 13 flies a heavily modified CloakShape Fighter and has been flying the same starfighter since the beginning of the Clone Wars, modifying it both during and after the war.

His CloakShape Fighter was simple, yet drew the eye in. Blended in, yet stood out amongst a crowd. The pure white hull was interrupted by a black paint-job that ran the length of both concussion missile launchers (dorsal & ventral) and ran through to and the entire assembly of the maneuvering fin. The forward cockpit structural beams were black, interrupted by the transparisteel panes in between them. Both dorsal & ventral wings featured a black number 13.

No markings on the craft could identify it with the Out Riders Pirate Gang or any other organization for that matter. But no record of allegiance was needed. All that his prey would need to know was that they would be the next of on four groupings of red markings a along the port side of the cockpit, under the canopy. The first group (towards the bow of the starfighter) showcased 3-paintings across and showed 8 lines of miniature paintings of 36 V-19 Torrent Starfighters; the next 3-paintings long rows showed 9 BTL-B Y-Wing Fighter-Bombers, while the next group was 21 Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 Starfighters.A fourth group was started with 4 Alpha-3 *Nimbus*-class V-Wing Starfightersand then ended. Under each red painting was small italic print labeling each "kill" for which battle; the last 2 V-19's, last 4 ARC-170s, and all 4 V-Wings all had the Battle of Coruscant stated as their kill location. In a separate box, with blue markings, next to the V-Wings was a single blue painting of a single Delta-7 *Aethersprite*-class Light Interceptor. Under that blue marking read "Jedi --- Last Kill @ 3 minutes before Clone Wars ended". In total, 71 "kills".

Under the red and blue marked boxes were two lines of gray painted Imperial "kills" running the length of the boxes (25 per line), showing 11 V-Wing Starfighters, 24 TIE Fighters, 8 TIE/sa Bombers, and 3 TIE/rb  Heavy Starfighters. In total, 46 "kills". Aside from the 11 V-Wings (which were all one-after-the-other), the rest of the Imperial kills were random along the two lines with no particular pattern or order, other then they were the newest Imperial kill verses the one before it.

Under the gray painted starfighters was another row of black paintings, showcasing a motley and randomly placed grouping (by kill order, not by type of craft) of 3 BTL-A4 Y-Wing Assault Starfighter/Bombers, 2 BTL-S3 Y-Wing Starfighters, 4 Z-95 Headhunters, 5 CloakShape Fighters, 2 MorningStar-A Starfighters, 8 R-41 Starchasers, and 15 Planetary Defender Starfighters. Total, 39 "kills". This group showcased all his raids on corporate, private interest, "other" shipping interests, and even several Early Rebellion starfighters who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
