Ben
was born from Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker, two of the New Jedi Order's founding and most respected members, and also two
the greatest heroes known throughout the Galaxy. For the first few years of his life he was separated from his parents and
forced to live aboard the traveling Jedi Praxeum that was housed inside the bright red Star Destroyer "Errant Venture". During
the Vong wars when the Jedi were still being hunted the young students were forced into hiding aboard the ship. While Luke
and Mara were out fighting in the raging war they were forced to leave their only child behind where he would be safe.
Ben
was raised for the first few years of his life by Jedi teachers, like Tionne Sulosar, or Master Streen. After the war ended
Ben’s father rebuilt the Jedi Temple in the quickly evolving ruins of Coruscant. Ben witnessed as the planet was repopulated
and massive cities were once again built throughout the now jungle covered planet. Ben and his parents then took up residences
within the temple.
Growing
up Ben didn't know many people who were Non-Force sensitive and sometimes finds it hard to comprehend the idea that some people
cannot access the Force as he can. He has spent his whole life surrounded by Jedi and has been training to become a Jedi himself
for over twenty years.
Another
young man, T'blar Qortes, joined the Jedi Temple when Ben was five and the two made quick friends. It was eight years later
that the two became apprentices under Jedi Council members.
That
was when Ben and T'blar met Yaini Voluris and Romis Fa'ele. The four soon became inseparable, and for the next four years
they were best of friends. Yaini and Ben became extremely close and the begins of romance flickered between them. T'blar became
jealous of his best friend Ben and was soon striving to best him in everyway, in order to impress Yaini.
It
was this showboating that eventually led the four apprentices into a confrontation with a Sith Adept on Ithor, where Romis
lost his life. T'blar's jealousy eventually lead to his fall to the darkside and his own death as well.
Ben
had tried to save his friend from the darkside, and disobeyed direct orders from his father to do so. Ben was ultimately forced
to kill T’Blar, who could not be turned from the darkside. It was shortly after this encounter that Darth Ebb and his
apprentice Darth Raze were thought to be killed in a large battle that Ben himself witnessed.
Two
years later Darth Ebb and his followers resurfaced, and a large scale galactic war broke out between the Republic and the
Sith. Ben Skywalker was present during the now famous debacle at Seventh Hell, a mission that saw the deaths of many Republic
soldier and Jedi, an utter defeat. The pain and loss that Ben suffered through the next few months of the war greatly shaped
who he would become. Rather then enlisting into the Republic Military as the Jedi were ordered to, Ben decided, against the
will of the Jed Council, to fight the war in his own way. With a small group of Jedi, including Yaini Voluris, Ben traveled
the Galaxy assisting planets who were suffering from the affects of the war, and fighting the Sith in accordance to the Jedi
Codes rather than Republic laws.
Because
Ben and the rest of his Jedi group did not enlist, they were not sanctioned by any army and were classified as civilians.
The Republic, who was nervous about not being able to control the group of Jedi in the first place, labeled them criminals
for interfering in the Republic’s war effort.
Ben’s small group of Jedi suddenly became a group of rebel outlaws.
