History
Valin was born on the quiet planet of Doldur, which was home to a series of Rebel bases scattered through out the planet. It was an ideal place to live for any civilian, pilot, or soldier. The conditions were perfect, and the atmosphere was great for a growing child. His father, Kyp, was also a Rebel Fighter Pilot and commanded his very own Squadron. Valin's dad's side of the family had a strong line of Pilots, and Valin was going to continue this line, and hopefully one day make it into the famous Rogue Squadron.
Due to the fact that his father was a pilot, he and his mother lived in a Rebel base. This was a great environment for Valin to grow up in, and would definitely increase his influence to become another Rebel Fighter Pilot.
Most of the time for Valin, it was just he and his mother. His father was constantly going on missions to help bring the Empires reign to a halt. When his father came back from these long and grueling missions, he would always bring back some kind of gift or souvenir from planets all around the galaxy.
Valin lived like this until the age of eight. This was when he started to study the mechanics and schematics of different kinds of ships. His first goal into becoming a fighter pilot was to become a tech at the age of fifteen. Things were definitely going well for him, and he could easily attain this goal at the age of ten. His knowledge was far more advanced for that of an eight year old, and his mother and father took quick notice of this.
At the age of ten he was awarded a Speeder Bike for doing well in school, and helping his father solve problems that even he didn't know how to solve. He was a natural mechanic, but would he be the same way at the controls of a ship? This was the time to find out. As soon as his father let him hop onto that Speeder Bike, he was off. Everyday he would ride the speeder bike around the base, often showing off and doing many dangerous things.
He was a speedaholic, and lived for the rush of adrenaline. His father was proud of his son, and at the age of fifteen, rewarded him with his very own Air Speeder. This was the next step into becoming a Fighter Pilot. By himself, and with a little help from his father, he learned the whats and what not to do's when in orbit.
At the age of sixteen, Valin was soon rewarded with something that he would remember for the rest of his life. His dad was going to let him pilot an X-Wing. After all those years, Valin was finally going to be able to pilot an X-Wing. His dad was amazed at the boy's skills, and new that he would definitely get somewhere in the Rebel Navy.
But Valin didn't know what it was really like. He didn't know what happened behind the scenes, and was going to soon find out. His dad was being accused of treason, for a reason that not even he new. But he didn't tell Valin or his wife this, he didn't want them to think of him as an Imperial Spy, because he was definitely not that at all.
The problem began to escalate, and when Valin turned eighteen all hell was let loose. Kyp had decided that it was time to go on vacation, but what he was really doing was taking off to another system. He was going to leave this place behind, and when they arrived to there new home, he would tell Valin and his wife. Unfortunately he never got to tell them what happened.
As they were exiting the planet, a squadron of X-Wings surrounded the ship. Red lights and indicators started to go off within the freighter signaling that they were about to be fired upon. In a last attempt to save Valin and his wife, Kyp sent them into an escape pod. Just as the doors closed, an explosion shook the hull, and the next thing Valin saw, was his father being consumed by flames. The doors of the pod shut just before the flames reached it, and they were soon jetted off into space.
About an hour or two later, they were found by Imperials and hurried off onto a station. Valin also found a data card stored in his pocket, and opened it with his mother. It was a holo-vid explaining what had happened. Valin then new what he had to do, and within seconds made his decision to join the Vast Imperial Navy.
