Biography
Acestes Damon was born in 21 BBY on the Republic owned world of Ord Mantell. In the early years of his life, Acestes looked up to the clones as a marvel in heroism and skill. A belief he kept close to him forever.

Life on an Ordnance world.
Acestes loved living on Ord Mantell. The fact it was used as a ordnance storing facility meant that Acestes could meet and speak to a wide variety of people from around the galaxy. Acestes would often catch clone troopers in the cantina and ask them war stories about Geonosis and about what Coruscant and Kamino were like. Acestes took a job in the spaceport working on the ships and talking to there crews. He admired them all.

Supporting the Empire
Acestes was 16 when Order 66 was called. As still a young child he bought up all the lies that the Empire made about the Jedi and the old Republic. Acestes was mad that the Jedi would go so far as to try to kill the greatest man the galaxy had seen the now great Emperor Palpatine. As such Acestes signed up to join the Stormtrooper Corps. Acestes took to the job like a fish to water. He was prepared and ready for war and the military and his proud and honourable nature meant that he would always fight with his best. After quelling a resistance on Ord Mantell, Acestes was given the rank of Major and lead his own squads on Ord Mantell.

Rebellion and the Battle of Yavin IV
Acestes was eager when the Rebellion called up against the Empire. Acestes was ready to do his part to rid the galaxy of the wimps that he had seen ruin it before. Acestes was sent to multiple worlds one of which was Dantooine where Acestes attempted to land a surprise attack on the world. Much to his dismay he was ordered to retreat after he learnt of the defeat at Yavin. Acestes blood was boiling but he was not done. His actions at Dantooine had seen the deaths of many transports and as such Acestes was sent to guard the new Death Star.

Death Star II and the Battle of Endor
Acestes served on the death star as one of its guards. He was present during the building stages and assisted in some of the building efforts. To him the death star was a necessary need to end the war swiftly and stop any more suffering. When the Emperor came on board, Acestes knew he could not fail. By personal request Acestes visited Sidious among other Majors. Sidious congratulated them and told them the end was to come and that they were to go and defend the forest moon itself. Acestes grouped up his men and left with great haste.

On Endor, Acestes set in ready for the planned ambush. When the time came he knew victory was clear, he swore he could hear the distant sound of Rebel ships detonating, he was so full of glee. Until the Ewoks attacked. When the Ewoks surpised attacked Acestes and his men were caught off guard. Acestes fought off many rebels and ewoks by himself for several hours. When the Death Star was destroyed he continued to hold out in his defensive position firing at any Rebel that came too close. Eventually a stun bolt hit Acestes from behind and he was captured and taken as one of the few prisoners of war.
