History
What brings You to Taris: Little more than the search for work has brought Ben to Taris, he hopes to set up and rest for a time on the world until he works up enough credits to head elsewhere in search of more work. It is the usual routine he goes through fairly regularly, travelling from world to world until all the work for him is spent, then moving on to another.History: Born to a lesser house of nobles in the Juran Mountains region in Alderaan's Northern Hemisphere, Ben was privy to a decent and fairly luxurious early life. While his father was an average noble, more focused on the running of Alderaan's society than the grander scheme, his mother was heavily involved in the Republic senate, especially during the Clone Wars, and she spent a great deal of time off-world as a result.
When the Republic fell and the Empire rose, not a great deal changed for Ben, Alderaan was an important and relatively peaceful world even under the reign of the Empire, and so he had little to worry about. As he grew up in the comfort of his noble schooling and home, Ben began to entertain his more adventurous side, riding off on his father's speeder into the thin passes and canyons of the mountain, teaching himself to become quite the pilot. Ben was oblivious throughout his childhood of his mother's secret involvement with the fledgling rebellion.
When he turned eighteen, Ben allowed his desire to see more of the galaxy take hold, and he signed up for the Imperial Academy. He rapidly rose to the top of his class as a pilot, and before too long was shipped off to the Academy on Coruscant for more elite training. For the next two years of his life, Ben's training was extensive, and he continued to perform admirably during so, becoming a rather skilled TIE pilot. Upon his graduation, Ben was assigned to The Sovereign, Grand Moff Tarkin's flagship, as a TIE pilot. During his time aboard the ship, Ben served the Empire with relative distinction, but eventually began to lose favour with the Empire as he was exposed more and more to Tarkin's own more brutal tactics, including strafing runs on refugee camps in efforts to draw out rebels. Eventually, this pushed Ben to discharge from the Imperial Military, receiving a commendation for his years of service when he finally did leave the Empire.
Since then, Ben has taken odd jobs from time to time, mainly making use of his skill with starships and as a pilot to get by, helping to transport cargo and offer protection for any transports who need it through the dangerous spots in space.
