History

Clan Vellin

Clan Vellin, a small tribe of Kiffar from Kiffu,was known for producing many talented musicians and artists rather than hardy warriors and sly bounty hunters. Mostly nomadic, they migrated from the edges of the deserts to the mountains yearly. In recent years, the Clan has been divided between those who wish to focus on learning the martial arts, and those who hold on to the old ways of peace and artistry.

Forced Conscription

While wandering through the mountains, Kurt noticed a flare launched from somewhere nearby. Upon investigating, he discovered a small Imperial recon outpost under attack by howlrunners. Stepping in to provide support, Kurt helped the Imperials drive back the vicious creatures. Rather than being thanked however, he was detained and almost executed for trespassing. After all, the troopers couldn't have anyone spread word about their covert operations. One trooper interceded on his behalf though, and reasoned with the team leader. The trooper spoke of how Kurt had helped save them, and that he shouldn't be killed. The team leader eventually agreed, and struck a deal with the young man. He would be spared if he joined the Empire. Kurt chose to save himself and enrolled in the Imperial Academy.

The Imperial Academy

Kurt Vellin spent his time at the Academy being trained in the art of ground warfare, learning the basics of combat, being a proper Imperial soldier, and commanding storm troopers. He graduated and was given the rank of Second Leiutenant in the Imperial Army.
