Early Life

Jerex Nizz was born in the year -15, day 231. In his early life he was mostly at home with his mother while his father was away, serving at the capital ships in the Hapan Navy. Soon when Jerex got a little bit older he would join his father on his command vessel. Jerex enjoyed many journeys by his father side and as he grew up he was longing to become a pilot. He too wanted to command these big vessels when he grew up. His parents however, had other plans for Jerex.

Entering Politics

Born from nobility Jerex already stood high in rank, but due to the fact he was a male it was hard getting anywhere. Due to the matriarchal society of the Hapes Consortium, men were often treated as second class citizens. Hapan males were used mainly for breeding and thought of as little more than an accessory. Despite this, there are a few documented cases of some Hapan men in positions of power. Anyway, of he went and in the beginning things turned out real good for Jerex. Being a lower ranked representative for the Hapes Consortium, and also in good terms with the Queen Mother, whom favaored Jerex a bit, secretly having a crush on him, Made Jerex's political career in the beginning a very safe one. As time went on, The Queen Mother began to recognize Jerex more and more, making the other nobilities jelaous of him. It wasnt until Jerex and The Queen Mother openly had a relationship, that enough was enough for some of the nobility. Jerex was now under the constant threat of several murder attempts and plots against him. Hapan culture, at least among the upper classes, was based on assassination attempts and struggles for power. Most members of Hapan nobility or royalty would think nothing of manipulating and/or arranging the death of one of their own if it would advance their own cause. The Queen Mother was treated like a goddess by the Hapans, and her selection of a consort was important to all her people. Candidates for the role of consort often came from the nobility, mainly to keep the gene pool vibrant. There were fierce rivalries between many noble houses over which house would get their sons to father the next Queen Mother, and nobles often plotted against both the consort and the heir of the Queen Mother who was not fathered by one of their own. As it turned out to be, most of the nobilities were jelous of Jerex because he was a male. One female in particular took a real hatred in Jerex and plotted against him, staging several murder attempts. Her name was Valara Tonor. Valara ultimately succeded in plotting The Queen Mother against Jerex, both staging a loveaffair against him, and she set up an assassination attempt against The Mother Queen looking as if Jerex was behind it. Jerex now only had one option left. He fled Hapes before the The Mother Queen's troops could march into his apartment and arrest him. Filled with shame of being pushed away from The Hapes Cluster, and at the same time hungry for revenge he dicided to follow his old dream from when he was younger. He would seek out the best fleet in the galaxy and finally become that Capital Commander he always longed to be.

The Galactic Empire

When the Lambda shuttle's landing ramp touched down on the Imperial Academy and Jerex walked down, he already felt as he finaly was home were he belonged. Already familar with military doctrine and conduct, since the time on his fathers command vessel Jerex fitted right into the Imperial military world and the daily routines. Under the supervision of Training Officer Nikai Tonnak Jerex was trained in everything from Imperial History to Military Concepts.

Jerex Graduated on Year 16 Day 17 and was immediately assigned to his new unit in the Imperial Navy.
