## Background

### **Early Life**

Bail was born into a family with a long military tradition. His father was general in the Republic Army and Bail was expected to follow the family tradition. From a very young age Bail was groomed for military service attended military prep schools and entered into the academy with his father's endorsement.

However Bail took more after his mother than father and possessed a defiant attitude which, while not preventing his graduation, definitely earned him a reputation as a trouble maker and a wild card.

### **Serving in Massiff Company**

Upon graduation he was commissioned as a Lieutenant and was stationed to Kessel where he was assigned to "Massiiff" Company, where he would serve as the company's Executive Officer for 3 years. Massiff Company's primary directive (in addition to safe guarding the Republic) was to hunt down smugglers and spice traders. Bail's immediate supervisor was Captain Garik Jace and his immediate subordinate Lt Junior Grade Trista Saar.

Bail's service to Massiff Company was outstanding besides a few minor military infractions which contributed to his lack of promotions. The only major infraction, which was known to the whole company but never officially reported was his fraternizing with Lt. Saar. She had designs on retiring to the Core and getting married but those plans were derailed by the MuLuy Incident.

### **The MuLay Incident**

On Kessel there a small spaceport town named MuLuy was a base of operations to several smuggling cartels. Bail had discovered that Captain Jace had been in league with several of the cartels by accepting payment to leave them alone and Massiff company to raid other competing cartels.

One of these cartels decided to stop paying and Captain Jace directed Bail to lead a raid on the "stronghold" of this cartel. Upon storming the structure Bail discovered that it was in fact the dormitory for the cartel member's families. Bail reported in to Jace who ordered burnt and all inhabitants killed. Bail ordered his men to take up positions and secure the building while he returned to base to confront Jace.

Bail planned explained to Jace that there were nothing but women and children at the target location, however when he entered the captain's office he found one of the noted cartel leaders waiting a Duros named Rek Renek. Surmising Jace's complicity, Bail entered the room and explained that the Ranenk Cartel would no longer be paying protection money to the captain, and Renek left the room.

Shortly afterward the Captain Jace arrived and Bail drew his pistol on him, stating he was under arrest. Jace explained that he had expected it all to catch up with him eventually and picked up a com. As he spoke into the com Bail realized that it was modified to alter the speaker's voice and made Jace's next words sound as if Bail was speaking them. Jace gave the order to exterminate everyone in the dormitory. Opened fire to try to stop Jace, but was too late. The two exchanged exchanged blaster fire but when the smoke cleared only Bail was standing.

Bail tried to explain what had happened but when it was reveled that Jace had stored all credit accounts under Bail's name no one would stand by him. Knowing he would have no chance at a court martial, Bail fled.

### **With the Heroes of the Sith-Republic War**

Bail met with the Heroes of the Sith-Republic War while on Corellia trying to lay low from the Massiff Company, which was now being led by Lt. Saar and was hunting for him. He helped them to uncover a Sith presence on the planet and joined with them and traveled with them back to Coruscant. There he assisted in uncovering the impostor of Senator Norvell Phinaro, though this tactics did involve driving a speeder into the senator's residence through a large window.

One of Bail's new companions, Padawan Loring Zeff, detected the the presence of the Force within Bail and informed him that with war with the Sith on the Horizion that the Jedi were likely in need of forces and would likely forgo the requirement to find a Jedi as a child if a war broke out.

When the war with the Sith fully broke out, Bail left the group to join the Jedi Order and be trained as a Jedi. Bail's skills as an officer and training as a Jedi served him well in the war, and with the assistance of the Jedi he was able to clear his name with the Republic Army.

Bail participated in several battles throughout the war, eventually rising to the rank of Jedi Knight, in spite of how old he had been before his training had begun.

## After The War

Bail became a much storied and famous Jedi Knight, his propensity for intense missions and flair for the dramatic became the stuff of many holo-stories over the years.

After several years of wandering the Galaxy Bail came upon a Sith Capital Ship, the *Implacable*, left over from the war and crewed by former soldiers that was preying on Republic transport ships. He lead a mission onto the vessel that went bad.

To stop the ship he was able to force his way onto the bridge and fly the ship into a sun, destroying it and himself as well. He is considered one of the most famous heroes of the Republic.
