History:
Born 45 BBY
Lived in the combined fleet 39-37 BBY
Lived on the Icy World 37-22 BBY
Formed a strong friendship with Echani martial artist Sina 31BBY
Met and became friends with Bounty Hunter William Shala: 29 BBY
Encountered and Fought a Dark Jedi 25 BBY
Free Lanced through the Galaxy 25 BBY to present.
If stark hyperspace war did anything else it clearly did two things. First it caused people to be displaced. Worlds were decimated, invaded battles raged in the back yards of non-combative citizens. Homes were destroyed and old lives were uprooted. Most of all people just wanted to get out of the way of both the opposing armies. With so many being uprooted and moving strange and unpredictable alliances were made.
One such alliance was made by two small fleets of transport ships. One fleet was a group of Echani settlers the other was of Zabrak refugees. The Echani fleets hyper-drive had malfunctioned and the Zabrak fleet had the part that they needed. The Echani on the other hand had an engineer that made the Zabrak fleets ships more efficient. The two fleets traded and after much deliberation agreed to combine their fleets, resources and protection. Both fleets set a course toward the outer rim. The combined fleet found an icy world in which to call home rich in carbonite, bronzium, and durasteel with traces of cortosis and phrik. The two fleets deconstructed their ships and founded a mining colony doing business with outer rim worlds such as Bespin. Initially the two groups lived in separate parts of the colony keeping to themselves. But little by little the two started to become cohesive. Little thing helped like “can I borrow some tools” or “I have more than I need and it looks like you could use some: contributed to this. In time the community was completely mixed.
The combined fleet and the icy world were the first solid memories of Ulsters life. He knew he was born somewhere else but that was a long, long time ago. Ulster Rais home was that colony where he was brought up. He went through the traditions and rites of passage common to the Zabrak race and learned the Zabrak martial arts style but bits and pieces of the Echani martial arts style as both were taught in the same building and the classes were mixed one day out of seven. Ulster was gifted in the field of martial arts he was always a split second faster than his opponents everyone including himself thought it was because he was able to read the body of his opponent so well.
The years went on and Ulster continued to excel in his martial arts training but a colony needs more than just fighters it needs artisans and builders to make the equipment, it needed repair men to fix things and other services and products needed to be offered. To that end at the age of fourteen Ulster began a series of apprenticeships ranging from ice cutting to mining and while he was capable at anything he set his mind to he found that he liked fixing things. If it was broke Ulster would tinker with it and sometimes slowly it would get back into working order not always pristine restored condition but it worked well enough to do its job.
Even with his job as an apprentice repairman Ulster still trained in martial arts developing an affinity for dual wielding vibroblades, tonfa’s, fighting pikes and so on but especially dual wielding vibroblades generally one short one in his off hand and a full one in his strong hand. While his primary training was in the Zabrak martial arts he spent quite some time training with a female Echani and making the Echani style a secondary form and forming his own hybrid kata using both forms. As Ulster trained the he developed a deep friendship with the Echani martial artist known as Sina; as they both grew older this got them both in a lot of trouble with their families on more than one cold colony night.
As the colony established its self more creature comforts were desired and a yearly tournament was established for two reasons the first was for entertainment purposes and the second was to improve the combat skills of the colonies citizens. The tournament was broken down into four parts: sparing; sets and katas; weapon sets and katas and weapon sparing. Sina and Ulster both entered the competition. Ulster entered the sparing and weapon sparing competitions while Sina entered the kata’s and sets competitions. The competition was strong the first round of the tournament saw several strong competitors being eliminated; as the tournament continued through to the semi-final rounds both Sina and Ulster continually dominated their competitions. Eventually Ulster and Sina made it to the final rounds of their respective competitions. Ulster dominated and took victory over his two sparing competitions earning the first place prizes for both being armored gloves and a leather combat vest with vertical ribs. Sina had won the victories for both of her competitions too. But there could only be one grand champion and in a roll of a chance cube Sina got to decide the final competition.
The competition was improvised kata. Sina had concentrated on a pure Echani martal arts style and performed it flawlessly. Ulster utilized both his Zabrak and Echani training and performed as equally well. But because it was a combined and personal kata and the competition was meant to be improvised Ulster won the grand champion prize which was two cortosis alloy vibroblades fashioned by the master artisan of the colony.
As the colony grew and became profitable so did the space port, as the space port grew the amount of off world visitors and spacers grew as well. This made for some interesting times in the colony. During the same time that the colony grew so did Ulster and in time he put his martial prowess in use in the local guard.
One cold evening Ulster was on duty as a strange Corellian ship landed outside of the colony. The pilot obviously didn’t want to be noticed and traveled in the night to the outskirts of the colony proper and began to scope out various individuals with a set of binoculars. The pilot must have been in deep concentration and Ulster was incredibly quiet as the pilot never heard the Zabrak creep up on him.
Ulster watched the pilot whom looked two year older than him at most for a few moments before he started talking to the pilot.
“So who ya looking for?” Ulster asked .
The pilot answered absent mindedly “There’s a Rodian smuggler in there.”
Ulster chuckled “Oh is that all so why didn’t you just land in the space port?”
The pilot was about to answer absent mindedly again but caught on “Hey!” the pilot was about to stand but Ulster gently placed one of his vibroblade swords against his chin with just enough pressure to let the pilot know it’s there and stated “If you value your life you will stand slowly with your hands behind your head.”
The pilot did as he was told and Ulster had him start from the beginning and the truth this time. The pilot explained that he was hunting a Rodian but it wasn’t for the Corellian authorities but rather a crime lord that the Rodian owed money to.
One criminal owed another criminal that happened a lot in the galaxy Ulster understood this but he didn’t appreciate a bounty hunter doing his business in his colony. So he asked “Have you found him?”
The pilot replied “yes I have. He’s in the cantina.”
Ulster then suggested “How bout a drink than?” He grinned and the two introduced themselves The Pilot was William Shala of Corellia. The two hung out in the cantina and watched the Rodian. They talked with each other about many subjects comparing various forms of combat and so on and eventually became acquaintances. The Rodian left the cantina and the colony and so did William. Over the next several months the pilot would use the colony as a fueling station and a place to gather information and in that time William and Ulster Became friends.
Over the next couple of years Ulster, Sina and William became a trio; from time to time Ulster and Sina would go with William on off world adventures. As they grew they acquired new skills and equipment to aid them in their adventures. William began sporting a jet pack and a bandolier. Ulster began wearing an armored breastplate and used his two cortosis vibroblade swords and Sina began using a double bladed vibroblade sword. They each became incredibly proficient in their own personal forms of combat and sellable skills as well.
Time went on and one cold Ice Colony afternoon the trio was in the local cantina when Ulster stood placed his hand on the table and fell sending dishes and flatware flying across the room. Groaning he was helped up by his friends. When Sina asked “Rai are you ok?” Rubbing his head Ulster looked at William and said “You’re gona need your guns.”
Before the other two could ask what was going on Ulster ran out of the cantina and retrieved his swords before stepping out just in time to see several unidentified ships begin landing all around the colony with the lead ship being a black painted transport of some sort which landed in the center of the colony. Several guards stepped out of the transport followed by a humanoid figure clad in all black armor and cloaked in a black cloak with golden lining covering a polished black helmet with crimson cross bar visor and he carried some sort of staff in a bladed right hand. The figure was most definitely in charge as his subordinates got out of his way as he stepped out of the ship.
Ulster didn’t like this individual and his mere presence made Ulster sick. The figure when most of the colony was out of their shelters to see what all the racket was about announced himself through his helmets speaker. “I am General Kale! And I have a once in a life time offer for your colony!” Kale took another step down and continued “Your greatest warriors can fight under my banner, a portion of your colonies resources can be put to my army’s uses and I can gratuitously allow your colony to continue existing. Or…” Several more soldiers stepped out of some other near buy ships weapons ready “I can have this entire colony erased from existence.”
Now normally a small army threatening a colony is not a big or dangerous feat. But when that same army threatens a colony made up of individuals from two separate warrior cultures than things can turn ugly. Such was the case as the entire colony came alive with the sounds of vibroblades, blasters and other assorted weaponry powering up.
Kale stated “So be it” raised his left hand and the nearest colony member began to levitate closer to him. And the first shots fired were from an automatic blaster wielding bounty hunter named William as he descended with his jetpack. The entire colony erupted in battle as Ulster sprinted towards General Kale.
The General having survived the onslaught of blaster fire and kipped up and began drawing in energy and just as he was about to release the full force of it into William; Ulster made his move driving a powerful flying round house kick into Kales chest. The released energy missed its intended target but was close enough to send William flying into a building and onto the ground.
Both Ulster and Kale hit the ground but Ulster was up first drawing both his cortosis vibroblade swords and struck with two powerful down ward blows. Ulsters attacks were blocked by Kale and his staff which was now headed by a crimson light saber blade.
Kale force pushed Ulster into the wall of a nearby building and pressed an aggressive attack with his light saber pike. Ulster was able to act quickly enough to roll out of the way but just barely. Ulster flurried both of his swords and attacked Kales right side one sword after the other. The first blow was blocked while the second blow struck Kales arm.
The majority of the strike was absorbed by Kales armor Kale kicked Ulster hard making him stager back. With the few moments of time he had Kale force lifted several pieces of ice and hurled them at Ulster.
Ulster was able to slice the first two pieces of ice but the last two hit their mark sending him sliding near William. Groaning Ulster asked William “Did you notice something?” William looked over to Ulster and replied “I noticed we got our butts kicked.”Ulster shook his head “No, when this guy gets pressed he can’t do those tricks as well.” William pushed himself up off the wall cracked his neck and said “Then lets press him.” Ulster nodded and charged forward as William rained blaster fire on target.
Kale was too busy deflecting blaster fire to put up a proper defense of Ulsters sword strikes. Again Ulster and Kale crossed weapons with Ulster attacking with a light attack with his offhand followed by a feint with his main hand.” All that lead up to an Echani style leg sweep that the General was not expecting. As the general scrambled to his feet William tossed a grenade between the two. Ulster jumped out of the way Kale could only erect a force barrier to absorb some of the blast but was still sent flying.
Rolling Kale righted himself and charged after Ulster and shoulder tackled him. By this time the three combatants had moved out of the main colony and were fighting on a glacial shelf. Kale took his time getting up only to gather enough umph to release a flash of force lightning at William. The lightning hit its mark and again William hit the ground hard.
Turning Kale boasted “Without your friend you are going to fail or you can become my apprentice.” Ulster replied “I got a better idea” and drove one of his vibroblade swords deep into the ice. The ice began to split then completely fracture causing massive fissures to open in the ice. The ice began to fall beneath both Ulster and Kale; Ulster picked up his sword and ran for solid as Kale leaped from piece of ice to piece of ice. Ulster having lived on ice for so long knew how to maneuver on ice and while the force was on the side of Kale it didn’t help without concentration. The ice eventually engulfed Kale when his foot slipped on an abrupt landing.
The battle inside the colony was also winding down with Kales forces in retreat. William had scrambled to his feet as Ulster flopped on his back beside the chasm that was once a large glacier. Looking down William asked “So is he dead?” Ulster shook his head “no I’m still woozy.” William flopped on his butt and stated “you mean to tell me that a grenade, your blades and nine million tons of ice falling on him isn’t enough to kill this guy?”
One final ship flew over the pair and blasted a hole in the ice a few moments later that ship too left the planet. With the battle won the colony had to rebuild, and the colonists had to recover. There were a lot of questions asked of Ulster and how he knew of the attack coming and so on. Questions he couldn’t answer at the time. When he was able to get a moment with his friends he spoke with them. “All right, there’s a lot of problems here right now in the colony. It needs leadership to rebuild.” He looked at Sina “That’s where you come in. You’ve been active in the colonies counsel and until the actual head of the colony gets out of the hospice this colony will need all the help it can get. Looking to his friend William “There’s a lot of questions that I can’t answer except with I don’t know. In short I need to leave here for a little while until things smooth over. I need a ride to any where can you manage that?”
William chuckled “yeah I think so.”
Ulster nodded and replied “Good.” Within the hour Ulster was packed and Williams’s ship was heading off into space. Over the next couple of years Ulster was second seat to William aiding him as a mercenary and bounty hunter but only on the terms that justice must be done rather than catching people for criminals and defense rather than attack as a mercenary.
During his exile from his colony William and Ulster began to notice little things Ulster would do. Examples include when Ulster was repairing Williams ship was blindly reaching for a tool and it moved on its own to his hand and William saw it. Another example was during a combat mission Ulster got pressed without a way out and instinctively sent two of his opponents flying. When the Jedi were killed on Geonosis Ulster wound up passing out and remained unconscious until the battler was over. During the grate jedi purge Ulster had again passed out and had several nightmares while unconscious.
Determined to figure out the reason as to why this was happening to him he followed the waves of it was almost like a head ach at the front of his forehead near his seventh horn. From time to time he would get a nauseous sensation and avoided that way. He eventually found himself on Coruscant….
