Starke's Bunk
This Young pilot was once a slave worker for the Empire.
Working in the naval construction yards on the jade moon he soon learnt the in's and out's of most of the Empires criusers and Star Fighters. Always planning to escape slavery, his chance finally came one day in the shape of an old Corrilian transport YT2000 that had been attacked by Rebels on it's way to deliver supplies to the facilities. Luckily for him Starke was assigned to repair some command consoles on the bridge.
Secretly he reprogramed the security systems on board to allow him access to the vessel. That night Starke sneaked on board the ship and made good his escape taking some T/F's out on his way, Starke barely made it passed the two Star Destroyers. But he got through with cunning, luck and some great flying.
He renamed his newly aquired Y2000. It's name is the TOURO. Not interested with the war between the Rebels and the Empire, Starke turned to a life of crime, smuggling spice's and other outlawed items. One day the inevitable happened, he got caught in a trap set by Imperial Forces. But he did not let himself be captured with out a fight. With his knowledge of Imperial technology and a few modofications he made to the TOURO, he was able to cripple an entire squadron of T/A before being disabled by two squadrons of Gunz!
His ship was taken aboard the SSD Titan where he was imprisoned.Fortunatly for Starke one of the Pilots who captured him was Raider of the Phoenix Squadron, and relising that Phoenix could use a pilot as skilled as Starke (and the fact that with the TOURO they could transport in some good booze) he had a word with WC Jodokast and had Starke released under his supervision.
Starke was relocated to the Nebulon Frigate EL POLLO DIABLO, home of the legendary Phoenix Squadron. Here he found his true place in life, finding new friends and a new purpose to fly Starfighters into combat against the Rebel Forces. Finally somewhere he could make something of himself. Since joining the TFA Starke has proved himself valuable in combat and a ready friend to all his wing mates. His career going from strength to strength. Still under the ever watchful eye of his now close friend Raider.
Starke and Raider fly into Week of War XL - the 5th Anniversary of the XvT zone event.
