Jaxon Macer

## History

Although born to Kadir and Briila Macer, little is known about Jaxon's early life, or eventually that of Darvel his brother.

By 5 BBY, he would begin to notably see action alongside the rest of his clan in their hostilities against the Galactic Empire, primarily through convoy raids; although young and largely unexperienced, his Mandalorian training would pay off. Through to 4 ABY, and the formation of the New Republic, he would be present at most of the clans most successful battles.

After the clan ended their anti-Imperial efforts in 4 ABY, Jaxon would spend a lot more time training and refining his technique, eventually developing a reputation in his clan, and later outside of the clan, as a fierce and capable warrior. When the Hutt Space campaign began in 18 ABY, Jaxon would fight with the rest of his clan and would eventually come to meet a new convert showing what Macer believed to be a especially fervent devotion. Macer would begin to train this individual, Herik Devis, with urgency as the later had already missed out on years of training.

It was through this intense training that Jaxon would discover that there was more to Herik than what met the eye, especially the fact that the latter was a trained force user. While, initially he did not support this presumed Jedi, he eventually began to accept it as an advantage in combat. Ultimately, however, Jaxon was unaware of the Jedi's plan to fake his death and return to the Republic until it was too late to stop it.

As tension grew between the Mandalorian clans and the New Republic, pressure grew for the now-chieftain of Clan Macer to join in the informal fights between the two. Having before determined to not fight the product of the Rebellion he had indirectly fought for, Jaxon was unwilling to attack without a formal declaration of war by the *Mand'alor*. This lack of anti-Republic enthusiasm was too much for some of the other clans, and even some within his own, and he soon be forced into exile. A few of his closest clansmen, and even his own nephew, followed him into exile.

With little else to do, the group began operating as mercenaries, their Mandalorian reputation often proceeding them for better or worse. Eventually, they were approached by a New Republic official who offered them new identities and a fresh start in exchange for the training of Republic soldiers as necessary; believing it to be better than their present circumstances, this offer was accepted.

Due to their presence on Coruscant at the time, Macer and his associates would leave the planet with Tirannan Industries and the New Republic in the Evacuation of Coruscant. Following this, they were pulled into the training group for Project Rebirth, specifically as it pertained to the New Republic Shock Trooper Corps.

After their contribution was complete, the group settled on Vutura where they built a small compound that primarily functioned as a speeder station between more significant farms and towns. They also maintained a small farm of their own.

## Equipment

### Armor

Jaxon's armor was traditional in design and capabilities, forgoing the inclusion of a rangefinder on his helmet as "unnecessary bulk". First painted black and gray, to match the rest of his clan on their anti-empire missions, and to serve as limited camouflage in space; it later would be painted in the clan's traditional colors of orange and grey. Following his exile, since he managed to retain his armor, he would repaint it in a plainer pattern of gray with orange highlights.
