O'Rionn Verada (character)

In a time of strife and war in the galaxy, a nightmare was born unnoticed. A small orphanage on the planet Corellia became O'Rionn Verada's first home one night during a violent thunderstorm many years before Luke Skywalker ever flew his first X-wing. It was at this orphanage that O'Rionn was raised, and at this same orphanage that he discovered The Force. During his childhood, the other children (all human) would make fun and tease the young Bothan about his appearance, calling him names like "Dog-Boy," and "Fido." The rage slowly built in O'Rionn until one fatefull day, in his late teens, it exploded with the energy of Mustafarian lava. His anger channeled itself through the other children until they were compelled to burn down the very orphanage that they had all called home their entire lives, staying inside as the flames consumed all of O'Rionns childhood memories.

Weeks later O'Rionn awoke in the med-bay of an Imperial prison in the Ord Mantell sector, a personal captive of Darth Vader's, due to the Force energy he released in his bout of anger. Due for interrogation and execution, the Bothan was relieved when he was rescued by Han Solo at the behest of the few remaining Jedi Masters in hiding. His escape in the Millennium Falcon led O'Rionn to Tansarrii Point Station, and his re-discovery of The Force and its wonders. Unfortunately for the Jedi who believed that he was the "Savior of the Republic," O'Rionn's amnesia was not enough to dissuade the instinctual hatred inside him. His first act as a Force-user was to persuade an angry soldier to blow up the station, an act of malice and contempt for the other humans on the station.

O'Rionn Verada landed on Tattooine days later, the wreckage of both his childhood orphanage and Tansarrii Point Station behind him, and a dark future for all of mankind ahead. The Bothan's quest for human blood continues still, as he falls deeper and deeper into the tendrils on the Dark Side of the Force. Since landing on Tattooine, O'Rionn has joined the Imperial army, seeing it as a way for him to receive missions to kill more humans while using superior resources and firepower. He has also done extensive piloting for various smuggling organizations, which he believes pay the most credits out of all of the flying units. Many of O'Rionn's ground missions though, no matter the source, involve the extermination of humankind. The Bothan cares not where the work comes from or what it stands for, as long as it fulfills his drive and motivation- to wipe out every human in the galaxy.
