Biography
Thomas Sangunis was born on Mandalore in 41 BBY to a prominet Mandolorian clan. Being force sensitive he was taken to the Jedi temple for Jedi training. Thomas had a hard time during his youth often getting chastised and berated for his lack of respect for the Jedi code. When he was only nine he achieved the rank of padawan having proved his potential. His first master had died shortly after him achieving the rank. His next master thought him brash and ignorant requesting the council excommunicate him. This caused him to feel an outcast to the Jedi and he strived for a sense of belonging. Jedi Master Yoda personally saw his training through seeing through the young Jedi's flaws.

When he was six-teen he was almost excommunicated for a second time. He had beaten another padawan bloody after he'd questioned Thomas' legitimacy as a Jedi calling him a 'Mandolorian brute.' Once again he was saved by master Yoda's mercy.

When he was nine-teen the Clone Wars had erupted and due to the lack of Jedi Knights in the Galaxy he was quickly given the rank of Knight and given command of the 888th Infantry Battalion. He quickly gained respect from his men and his second in command, Captain Ryker, after proving himself on the battlefields of Dantooine.

In the year 21 BBY he reached the age of twenty, having proved himself one of the best field commanders and Jedi Knights he was bestowed the title 'Guardian of Light' by the Jedi Council. Shortly after he was sent to Felucia to assist in the planets capture acompanying Jedi Master Aayla Secura.

During the later months of 19BBY Thomas began to develop a serious case of post-traumatic stress. He was taken off the frontlines and sent to the Jedi Temple for rehabilitation. After about a month the symptoms had become less traumatising and he began to adjust to temple life.

When Thomas heard about an incident involving an ARC trooper and the sixty-sixth contigency order he began to question whether the Republic was truly safe. He then covertly tasked the group of Republic Commandos known as Omega squad to breach the GAR high command and gain as much intel on the situation as possible. When the commandos brought the intel they had gathered he was in shock. He learned that the order was created by none other than the Supreme Chancellor and it dealt with the annihalation of all Jedi.

Late one evening he decided to confront the Chancellor about his discovery and upon entering the chancellors office his worries were confirmed. He found severall dead jedi on the floor and saw Anakin Skywalker kneeling before Darth Sidious. He quickly engaged the newly minted Darth vader and knocked him unconciouss and although Sidious had escaped Thomas quickly contacted the Jedi and their clone commanders stating that the chancellor was a Sith lord.

Palpatine ordered his newly created Spaarti Fett clones to sack Coruscant. Thomas led the defence of the temple and evacuated the order to Dantooine.

The Second Great Galactic War had begun. Sidious quickly formed the remaining CIS systems into his new Galactic Empire. He had summoned a large army comprising of Spaarti Fett Clones and Sith acolytes and began a war against the Republic.
