Some things in history are best left unsaid. The same is true of the person known as Gavin Kravis; however, many still wish to know this information. Currently he is a respected leader of the Rebel Squadrons, as well as a knowledgeable practitioner of the Jedi arts. He can be found either on Xenen, the AF planet of operations; Mercurius, the RgF planet of operations; or on missions for either body. While in the AF he takes on the roll of a field commander or Jedi leader, rather than an actual administrative leader, despite his rank. However, he is the current commanding officer of the Renegade Fleet.
 +
 +
Gavin's past is not something that he is incredibly proud of. When he was very young, no more than four, he and his brother and sister were orphaned. It is unknown, but assumed, that his parents did in fact perish. The Kravises were adopted not long after, but retained their birth names. The children had been largely raised by nanny droids before their parents died, so they knew very little of their biological origins. For most of their childhood they attempted to learn of their ancestors, to no avail. The Kravises' adopted family hails from Corsin and owns the Corsin Space Yards, a large supplier of medium sized capitol ships (such as a Neb-B) and smaller, as well as virtually all freighter sizes. The Kravises' adopted family, the Unthers, were a liberal political entity, but still supported the Empire (up until just prior to Yavin).
 +
 +
Gavin's adopted brother, Jetoe, joined the Imperial Navy, at age 18, and Gavin followed (only 16 at the time), as they were very close in age and very affectionate of each other. They were split up after basic training and did not see each other for many years. Two years before the battle of Yavin, Jetoe was reported to have defected. Gavin's attempted to make contact with his brother, but met with no success. Throughout his career in the Imperial Navy he rose rapidly in the ranks, including a stint as one of Vader's Judges, similar in nature to the Emperor's Hands.
 +
 +
This leads into Gavin's force adeptness. He and his two siblings found at an early age that they had extraordinary abilities. Unfortunately at this time, the Jedi purge was gearing up and their lives would have been in jeopardy had they been tested. Therefore their adopted parents merely stated that their children were gifted, and used their political pull to keep their children safe. It was not until Gavin was in his late teens, that the source of his gifts was determined. At that point in time, Gavin was already a rising Naval Fighter commander, aboard one of the Star Destroyers in Vader's 'Death Squadron'. Vader took Gavin and two other officers, also with force ability, under his tutelage. There three would become Vader's Judges, similar to the Emperor's Hands, who would do Vader's bidding by eliminating threats and bringing "justice" to areas of "conflict". In one mission, one of the Judges turned on Gavin and his companion, because he was being influenced by an, at the time, unknown dark source. Gavin's loyal companion was fatally wounded in the ensuing battle, while the traitor escaped. Gavin would have pursued, but his own wounds to his shoulder, from a blaster bolt, and stomach, from the traitor's lightsabre, prevented him. The order was dissolved, and Gavin was placed back in a command status in the Imperial Fleet, taking with him his equipment and the lightsabre of his departed comrade. The traitor was later tracked down on a mission with the Aurora Force and killed by Gavin's hand.
 +
 +
During his tenure as a Judge, Kravis was given authorization to information on the Jedi, and turned to this data when he left Vader's shadow, in secret of course. Over the years following he trained in the Force, not necessarily dwelling on the differentiation of light and dark, thus making him more or less a gray Jedi. During this time he had "training" under many lost Jedi, both light and dark, and completed his training with the construction of his own lightsabre (in addition to the one he constructed under Vader), a double olive bladed weapon that he used up until arriving on Xenen. Before reaching Xenen; however, he trained not only his biological siblings, but also New Republic officers Tech Krill and Damie LaCarde. He oversees many force adepts and acts as a mentor when called upon, but since Krill, has not taken on another padawan. Gavin's powers are varied, because of his training, so that much of his ability is in combat, deception, and energy absorption. Telekinesis and Premonitions are not strong points, but are for his sister.
 +
 +
Shortly before the battle of Yavin, Gavin was ordered to take his fleet, now a Rear Admiral, and engage a rebel task force, which he found was commanded by his own adopted brother, who had defected two years prior. Gavin could not bring himself to fire upon his brother, thus committing treason by allowing his brother's fleet to escape. In the hours following the incident Gavin announced his intentions to defect, and was joined by the bulk of his forces (including all the vessels). Those staying with the empire were loaded on transport craft and dropped off at a nearby Imperial outpost. For a few years prior to this the Corsin Space Yards, under Gavin's secret order, were creating a mobile space yard facility in deep space, near the Minos Cluster. When Gavin defected, he took his forces there to use the facility as a base of operations.
 +
 +
In the years following, he created a revolutionary group, called the Burning Blade Alliance, which was similar in nature to the Rebellion, but was closer to aw mercenary/privateer organization. Because of this demographic he attracted groups to him that would not necessarily join the Rebellion. His mobile space station, as well as a number of other bases manufactured various products, mostly war material, which was either sold off (through the black market or various Corsin corporations) or added to the BBA forces. These materials and fund found that he could successfully maintain and force of 163 vessels and crewmen. The BBA fleet, while largely secret, has come to the aid of the Rebellion and New Republic, most notably the Rebel Squadrons, as well as the Hapes Consortium (where he courted the admiral-princess, gained an alliance or sorts, and added two Battle Cruisers (from two different instances) to his fleet). Besides vessels that came with rebellion groups, the BBA shipyards produce war craft and the group has stolen vessels from Imperial forces (and from occasional criminal organizations and CSA units). Most of the fleet's duties are hit and eradicate missions (to remove evidence) or territorial defense. When Gavin resigned from the RS, it was because his territory was under invasion. This invasion cost him nearly a third of his vessels, which he has since built back to 132 vessels.
 +
 +
This leads to Gavin's involvement in the Rebellion. He joined the Rebellion just prior to the battle of Endor, leaving fleet command in his sister's hands, and administrative leadership in his brother's. The reasons for this move are unknown, but to Gavin himself. At the time, he entered the Rebel fleet as a pilot with his personal A-Wing. After a few years in the Rebellion he transferred his tour of duty to the Renegade, a fighter corps unit in the Rebel Squadrons, then under the command of Lucas Benoit-Stark. Not long after he joined the Academy as an instructor for the RgF Academy and the Aurora Force, a new special strike force that could utilize his Force abilities. Throughout his tenure as an RS member, he has served as overall RS Under-Graduate Commanding Officer and Renegade Fleet Commanding Officer, among other lesser positions. He plans on remaining active in the RS, until such time as the Empire is vanquished, or the BBA needs him. Until then, he'll make sure that his sights are targeting the enemy.

Fictional Background

Some things in history are best left unsaid. The same is true of the person known as Gavin Kravis; however, many still wish to know this information. Currently he is a respected leader of the Rebel Squadrons, as well as a knowledgeable practitioner of the Jedi arts. He can be found either on Xenen, the AF planet of operations; Mercurius, the RgF planet of operations; or on missions for either body. While in the AF he takes on the roll of a field commander or Jedi leader, rather than an actual administrative leader, despite his rank. However, he is the current commanding officer of the Renegade Fleet.

Gavin's past is not something that he is incredibly proud of. When he was very young, no more than four, he and his brother and sister were orphaned. It is unknown, but assumed, that his parents did in fact perish. The Kravises were adopted not long after, but retained their birth names.
