Adam Linon is a 25-year-old Corellian male currently serving as an Ensign in the Imperial Navy.

Before the Empire

Childhood

Adam Linon was born to a farming family on the temperate Corellian world of Tralus. The farm was fairly large but barely profitable. Money was too scarce for any luxuries during his early years, although it was plentiful enough to provide the family with enough basic necessities. Droids performed much of the legwork on the farm; however, Adam's father Damien insisted that physical labour was character building and had Adam working the land from the age of 7. Damien Linon was also blessed with intelligence far above his vocation and by the time Adam was 9 his father had obtained a degree in Civil Engineering from Coronet University; provided for by Tralus' newly expanded Holonet infrastructure. The following year Damien was hired by the Corellian Engineering Corporation as an entry-level employee and family life was upended by a move to Coronet City on Corellia. Adam's mother Cera was unemployed for several months before finding work as an assistant at the Coronet City Zoological and Botanical Gardens. The family settled into a small and cramped apartment downtown, which they shared with Lou Porpel (Adam's paternal uncle) and his 2 daughters.

Adolescence

Coronet City was obviously a far cry from Adam's childhood life. His father was rarely present in the home due to the demands of his new job; Lou Propel, a subway driver, quickly became a secondary father figure. When Adam was 11, he went to school for the first time, having been taught to read and write Basic by his parents years before. At first he found it hard to adjust to school life and even exhibited some behavioural problems but by the age of 13 Adam was excelling academically. His increasing interest in spacefaring vessels was gently encouraged by several teachers and he chose to specialise in this subject for the final two years of his education, even writing a dissertation (with Damien's help) on the development of civilian ships in the Corellian system. He developed a close relationship with his two cousins and the trio could often be seen roaming the streets of central Coronet, exploring its urban metropolis and mingling with other local kids. When Adam was 16 he graduated from school with some distinction and spent the following year working with his mother at the Botanical Gardens. But after this placement was over, Adam discovered that work on Corellia was scarce. From the age of 17 Adam started frequenting Coronet City's various taverns and bars with former schoolfriends and began developing a spice habit. After uncle Lou's death by traffic accident in Year 12, when Adam was 19 and still unemployed, he decided to leave Corellia to pursue his potential. He was also mindful of his family's financial situation, with Cera and Damien now having to support two nieces as well as their son.

Career Beginnings

Armed with several thousand credits from a lifelong savings account, Adam purchased tickets to Coruscant where he'd heard jobs and opportunities were far more plentiful. His roomate was Gleeson, a 21-year-old Coruscanti who'd once lived on the same apartment block as Adam back in Coronet. The two got along well and often went out to Coruscant's various clubs and casinos, which were rife with recreational drug use. During the day Adam worked crushing 10 hour shifts as a junior employee at the Emperor Drayson Spaceport, documenting cargo and confirming routine landing codes. The situation clocked along nicely for two years and Adam was poised for a more senior role as a space traffic controller. Unfortunately, these plans were ruined when his apartment was repossessed by Coruscant Security Forces who'd arrested Gleeson for second offence spice possession. Furious with his friend, Adam was forced to quit his job and leave Coruscant homeless, though he was at least happy to now have some serious work experience. Having watched millions of ships come and go every day for the past two years, he now wanted to fly them.

the BFF-1 Bulk Freighter was a familiar fixture for Adam while he was still learning the ropes of flying

Adam spent the following three years travelling the galaxy as a logistics worker and pilot, first for the Aurodium Legion. Adam left the Legion a qualified pilot in Year 17 and returned to Coronet, where his mother was gravely ill. Almost miraculously, she recovered and after several months' break Adam was hired by the Core Exchange, or CorEx, again as a pilot. He worked at CorEx under Geoff Jackson and later Mikel von Bianchi. Though he enjoyed flying greatly and respected the company, Adam grew weary of the consistently long and lonely hyperspace journeys that went with the placement. After encountering an Imperial recruitment ad on the Holonet, he realised that his desires and talents might be better utilised in the service of a larger community and wider ideals.

The Galactic Empire

Student Life

Adam left CorEx amicably with newfound drive; determined to join the ranks of the Galactic Empire. He enlisted at an Imperial Recruitment Centre back on Coruscant and after answering several questions on his personal and legal history, his application was accepted. What's more, Adam learned he was to be sent to the Empire's Officers Academy for gruellinig training due to his humanity and extensive previous flying experience. Adam was soon dispatched to Prakith where he was assigned to Training Officer Elaine von Veritrax of Imperial Intelligence. He impressed with his zeal and knowledge and was able to score 97% in Volume I of Imperial Basic Training. Following weeks of further practical training on Prakith for Volume II, Adam graduated from the Imperial Academy with Honours and his desire to join the Imperial Navy was swiftly processed by the Empire's Resource Allocation Division.

The Imperial Navy

Adam is currently a member of the Imperial Navy's Starfighter Corps. His specific assignment is classified.
