	Shortly after leaving school, Joshua joined the Tralusian academy for Fed-Dub's security force. He attended ~~a month in~~ a basic training program, and ~~about~~ six months ~~more~~ in flight training before ~~being graduated~~ with high ~~good~~ marks. Two reprimands remain in his training service jacket for exceeding the recommended thresholds on a training fighter, which resulted in damage to the craft. Upon graduation, he was assigned to Theta Squadron, one of four of the Z-95 fighter squadrons of the Federation's Defense Force.

He attended a basic training program for a month and spent another six months in flight training before graduating with high marks.

Upon graduation, he was assigned to Theta Squadron, one of four of the Z-95 fighter squadrons of the Federation's Defense Force.

	During his 9 months of active duty in Fed-Dub, Joshua was promoted once and given two citations of valor from CorSec for assisting with their operations to capture fleeing criminals. Although he didn't realize it at the time, he was being rewarded for helping the Empire to hunt down those that they suspected of rebellious activity.		During his 9 months of active duty in Fed-Dub, Joshua was promoted once and given two citations of valor from CorSec for assisting with their operations to capture fleeing criminals. Although he didn't realize it at the time, he was being rewarded for helping the Empire to hunt down those that they suspected of rebellious activity.

	While on leave near the end of his first tour, Joshua met another young, skilled pilot named Salonika Batrad. ~~After a couple of lums~~, ~~the two started talking.~~ Batrad ~~was a young idealist who~~ believed in a cause only spoken about in whispers in the Corell system - the Rebellion. ~~In the time they spent talking one~~ evening, Joshua began to seriously rethink what he was doing with his life. Although it took him most of his leave to ~~decide~~, ~~Joshua~~'s ego won out as he was convinced ~~by Batrad~~ that the rebellion would never succeed without him. Joshua resigned his commission with Fed-Dub and left ~~planet~~ with ~~him~~ days later. Within three weeks, the pair had established contact with a fringe group of the rebellion, and joined the cause without a backwards glance.

A young idealist, Batrad believed in a cause only spoken about in whispers in the Corell system - the Rebellion. Following an evening of discussion and ale, Joshua began to seriously rethink what he was doing with his life. Although it took him most of his leave to make his decision, Batrad's play on his ego won out, and he was convinced that the rebellion would never succeed without him. Joshua resigned his commission with Fed-Dub and left the system with Batrad a few days later. Within three weeks, the pair had established contact with a fringe group of the rebellion, and joined the cause without a backwards glance.

	It didn't take long for Joshua to make it past the crude 'training' that the rebellion provided. He was assigned to a fighter squadron within a week of arrival. X-wings were in short supply at the ~~timeand~~ his training in a Z-95 got him an immediate assignment with the Galliant Defense Squadron. When that squadron was re-formed, the pilots ~~of Theta Squadron~~ were assigned to Rezkomaro Outpost as Gold Squadron. The unit was successfully used to intercept Imperial convoys along the Rim and engage Imperial fighters as needed.

When that squadron was re-formed, the GDS pilots were assigned to Rezkomaro Outpost as Gold Squadron. The unit was successfully used to intercept Imperial convoys along the Rim and engage Imperial fighters as needed.

	Joshua was barely eighteen years old when he and his senior wingman Sescikchat were transferred to Green Squadron at Yavin HQ. The base was outfitted with Y-wing and X-wings, and he was supposed to be assigned to one of the X-wing squadrons once it was re-supplied with more fighters. This was a definite step in the right direction for the two pilots. Flying in one of the space superiority fighters meant no more guard duty over convoys and backwater bases.

	Following the battle, Sescikchat and Joshua were the only remaining pilots of Green Squadron. A few weeks after the battle, General Jan Dodonna spoke to a group of squadron leaders, including Sescikchat. Following this meeting, Sescikchat recruited Joshua as a test pilot for a new prototype fighter. As Green Squadron was pretty much non-existent and had little hope of replacement fighters right away, Joshua agreed. As such, Josh and his new CO were the two first test pilots of the Dodonna/Blissex RZ-1 A-wing fighter.		Following the battle, Sescikchat and Joshua were the only remaining pilots of Green Squadron.

	He had always been accused of pushing his fighters to the limits of their design capabilities, demanding more of them than any sane pilot would. This proved to be an advantage as a test pilot and flying the prototypes hard and fast discovered several early design flaws, only once to his misfortune. He was lucky, however and was treated and released for extended exposure in zero-g following a complete power failure of one prototype.

	Both his maternal and paternal families have lived on Tralus for several hundred generations. Both families are upper-middle class, so it was a surprise when Jordan Arands chose to open up a repair yard rather than following his father into politics. Jordan was always good with his hands though, and a smart businessman as well. Pretty soon, his starship and droid repair yard was one of the most trusted and popular repair facilities in the sector.

	When Joshua wasn't being schooled, he would spend his time at the yards. His father taught him a lot in those early years and ~~Josh turned out to be a pretty decent technician. By~~ the time he finished my education at 16, he was a competent mechanic and a skilled, if not impetuous pilot.		When Joshua wasn't being schooled, he would spend his time at the yards.
