Biography

Early Years

Kin-Jal Sidewinder was born on Coruscant, in Southport City, on the 323rd Day of Year -8.

Sidewinder was a teenager when he personally saw the Imperial Army for the first time. Before that, he was a poor boy who constantly dreamed of moving away from his family (his father, Arwen, his mother, Morearwen, and his younger sister, Morewen), and making a name for himself in the Galaxy. His family life wasn't terrible, it was just painfully dull for an adventurous young man like Kin-Jal. When he saw the organization and power of the Imperial Army, he knew that one day, he would stand amongst their ranks, and dedicated his life to achieve this goal. After the Imperial Visit, he began to train alone, without any help, honing his physical strength and mental discipline for Army service.

When Kin-Jal was 15, a group of thugs invaded his home, with the intent of robbing his family. His father, Arwen Sidewinder, had been a sniper during the Clone Wars, and after the conflict ended, he had retired from military service. As a token of gratitude to a veteran soldier of the Old Republic, the newly-formed Galactic Empire allowed him to keep his personal sniper rifle as a memento. With this very rifle, which he took from the place of honor upon which it now rested, Kin-Jal fired his very first shot, cleanly killing one of the thugs with a shot to the head. The others smiled wickedly when they saw that the rifle jammed after not having been fired for years, and they all jumped the young man, beating him savagely in revenge. However, Kin-Jal was able to single-handedly fight them off with the rifle's stock, but they did succeed in wounding him. Seeing his only son gamble own his life to protect his family, as well as having a natural affinity for the weapon Kin-Jal had no doubt inherited from his father, Arwen, decided that, from this day forth, he would teach his son to master the art of marksmanship. And master it he certainly did.

When Kin-Jal turned 18, the minimum age requirement for enlistment in the Imperial military, he went to an ICR station and inquired about joining up. On principle, Sidewinder's mother, Moreärwen, didn't agree with his choice of career. She was instinctually concerned for his safety, but after a while, and with the help of his father, she relented, and Kin-Jal enrolled in the Imperial Academy.

At the Imperial Academy

When Sidewinder began his training at the auspicious Coruscanti Imperial Academy, he was overwhelmed with the feeling that is common among new Recruits. He was walking in the footsteps of heroes. It was shortly after this that Recruit Sidewinder first met his Academy mentor and instructor, Lieutenant Eldok Sol, an Imperial Navy officer.

Under the tutelage of Lieutenant Sol, Recruit Sidewinder immediately began his training regimen, impressing the Lieutenant with his determination to succeed, and scoring above average on marksmanship and field survival examinations. After 6 months at the Imperial Academy, and completing his final exams with little difficulty, Lieutenant Sol gave Sidewinder a passing grade and summarily promoted him to the rank of Private in the Imperial Army, and also awarded him the Imperial Academy Basic Graduate ribbon.

Private Sidewinder enjoyed his time at the Imperial Academy, but looked forward to at last starting his career in the Imperial Army in earnest.

Welcome to the Imperial Army

Upon his graduation, Kin-Jal met other enlisted personnel affiliated with both branches of the Imperial military, young men and women who shared the same wish as him: to serve the New Order loyally and with honor. After being assigned to his unit by RADIA, Sidewinder was first introduced to his his CO and his Army brothers, and, based upon recommendations made by Lieutenant Sol, Private Sidewinder became a member of his unit's Assault Reconnaissance Company, intending to pursue a fruitful career as an Imperial Scout Trooper.

Bravo Squad

Sidewinder was an excellent Marksman

After a spending a bit of time as an unassigned Trooper in his unit's ARC, Private Sidewinder was approached by a fellow Scout Trooper, Corporal Kol Seraph, who offered the Private the chance to fill a vacancy in his Bravo Squad, of which the Corporal was Squad Leader. Bravo Squad was an elite unit entirely composed of highly trained, specialized, and very well equipped members of the ARC's 1st Section, nicknamed 'the Vanguards'. Its mission profile was as follows: to reconnoiter pre-deployment combat zones and provide vital combat intelligence to frontline units, eliminate enemy soldiers quickly and stealthily, disrupt enemy defenses via sabotage and covert assassination, and during combat operations, provide frontline units with long-range fire support. Upon learning that Corporal Seraph had reserved a position solely for him, Private Sidewinder gladly accepted the offer, becoming a designated Marksman and the eigth, newest member of the Squad.
