NightShadowDark The Nomad

**Trax Ralax** is a Human Male Mandalorian Warrior from Onderon. A claimed Ace Pilot and Smuggler who served various factions during the height of the GCW years ago, most notably operating as Black Leader for Rebel SpecForce until the Battle of Coruscant. After settling down, investing in legitimate business, and preparing to support his growing alienated clan, he rejoined the fight once more, using a small amount of credits and whatever he could carry to start this endeavor.

## Biography

### Early Life

Trax Ralax was born on the planet of Onderon during its time as a CIS world, however due to the recluse nature of his Clan Trax did not experience much of those events. Instead growing up like any other Mandalorian child would be expected to, with the exception of Beskar’gam, as his clan was hard pressed for Beskar for his entire life. As his Clan finally migrated away from his homeworld, Trax finally got glimpses of the galaxy and was instantly hooked on exploring it.

### Galactic Civil War

With his skills further honed and an expectation to fight as an honorable Mercenary according to the Supercommando Codex, Trax found himself on Tatooine, selling his blaster, and barely flyable interceptor, to whoever would hire him. Battles and stories were made at this time, however after fighting alongside and supporting an Employer Trax considered a friend, he found himself a member of the Rebel Alliance.

Christening himself Black Leader, Trax operated from Tatooine, to Naboo, to Kashyyyk, to even Kessel. Hosting and supporting a team of crack mercenaries as Black Squadron became a firm unit in the SpecForce, fighting in many battles, whether small or large, and having a preference for cloak and dagger operations.

However once the Rebel Alliance transitioned to a New Republic Trax found himself looking beyond the cause he had fought for for five years. As Mercenaries, Criminals, and Smugglers were being phased out or pushed away by strong willed proper soldiers, and the Capital of the Galaxy was finally under the hands of a proper republic, Trax saw himself out.

Settling in the ruins of destroyed imperial facilities and depots Trax worked on making a minor flight school for the denizens of Onderon, while also displaying the mighty collection of Mandalorian Starfighters he had collected over the years. As family, clan, and kin started to grow Trax was not expecting to have to forge his first Beskar Helmet, and work against Imperial forces as planets like Kuat, Corellia, and even Coruscant fell against the Empire once more.

Heading back to the world where he first embarked on a Rebel path, Trax roamed Tatooine looking for his old Captain, Friend, and Employer, but upon realizing the man was long gone, he started making his own plans to make the Empire hurt in the name of the Rebel Alliance.

## Mission to Rori & Return to New Republic SpecForce

After a highly successful scavenging mission with Reiwe Jendri. Trax had come into possession of the location of an Old Republic Weapon’s Depot. Hoping to acquire military equipment for the militia and Trax’s new Black Squadron the two “Partners” went to the planet of Rori in search of the Depot. When scouting, and mired by the constant muddy environment, as well as ghosts from the infamous Battle of Restuss, Trax triggered the Depot’s detection systems (By kicking them). After sending out a warning to his Militia Partner, he engaged and captured two imperial troopers, using mud to his advantage.

With the prisoners secured and regrouped with Reiwe the duo moved to take the Depot. However they were countered and pinned down when reinforcements from the local warlord’s garrison, two imperial walkers, approached. Trapped in the brush and with two Imperial Walkers practically about to step on them, a heroic squad of New Republic Commandos came to the rescue (Due to a distress call and orders from a true hero). Destroying a walker and engaging the second while Reiwe and Trax “engaged” the Imperial Garrison. When the mud was done flinging the New Republic had won the day, with a platoon of Imperial Personnel captured, two walkers destroyed, a PLEX Soldier killed, and an Imperial Weapon’s depot captured.

After the courageous battle both Trax and Reiwe were handsomely rewarded by a New Republic Special Forces General. With Reiwe’s militia nicely funded, and Trax’s Black Squadron reinstated as a New Republic SpecForce team once more, with Trax’s newest ship the “Restuss Crusader” acting as the group’s new headquarters and transport.

## Personality

Trax is a charming but cunning Mandalorian, who is almost the opposite of the calm cool Mandalorian Bounty Hunter stereotype. Where others are silent and watch a situation, Trax prefers to speak up and join it, further manipulating it either to his advantage, or just pushing it to the ultimate solution of blaster fire. Despite this brashness being the normal downfall of people like him, Trax’s mandalorian nature does keep him self aware, and this making him far more dangerous as he can either inflate his personality to come across as a fool or shrink it down to nothing and suddenly become the Mandalorian Warrior people don't want to see.

## **Trivia**

Trax was Night’s Restoration Character while ARMCO played on that server, and is also Night’s first major SWG character in his opinion.

Black Squadron was meant to be a Smuggler’s Alliance/Neutral Group for ARMCO pilots to gather credits as apart of in small events. Due to this Trax considers himself a former member of the Smuggler’s Alliance before the death of Jabba who he also worked for as a Smuggler.

Trax claims him and his Clan are historians, and uses this logic to explain his addiction to collect Mandalorian vessels, particularly the starfighters designed for the Hutts. However his main vessel was a YT-1300 modified by Mandal Motors.

In terms of Criminal Factions he had worked for, his preference was Smuggler’s Alliance, Valerians, Jabba, and at the very bottom was Nym. Jabba however paid the best.
