"Blame it on the misfortune of you birth"

- Jethro Gibson to republic soldiers

Jethro "Great blue star" Gibson, was was a Sith ace pilot during the One Year War. When his talent was recognized, his Variable Attack Fighter's head and left shoulder were painted blue, thus giving him the nickname the great blue starwhich was later expanded into "The blue star of Raynog" when it became clear the space fortress Raynog was his base of operations. For much of the war Jethro served as the bodyguard of Admiral Killer Han, whom he greatly revered, during the Admiral's frontline inspections. Ironically, he was not at Raynog when the battle occurred, having been recalled to Solomon shortly before the operation began.

Early life
He was born at Solomon in 414 BBY, and a descendant of of a long line politican family. He lived well since he was the son of a politician. Gibson enlisted in the Sith military and underwent basic training in 413 BBY, just months before the outbreak of the war.

One Year War
Gibson was assigned to the Mobile Assault Forces under Killer Han and made a name for himself in the Battle of Trengganu on January 15. Gibson destroyed three Galeon-class warships before an order to retreat was issued, and it was widely believed he would have rivaled Ian Greydon's equally impressive mark of five had he remained on the battlefield longer. Jethro Gibson was then given a special two rank promotion to Lieutenant, since his previous rank was Ensign. Due to his exploits, and preferred color scheme of Blue and black, he was nicknamed 'Great Blue Star'. Gibson scored most of his kills during the war with his customized VAF-GK10C. The Hydra emblazoned on the VAF's elbow was a tribute to Killer. Shortly before being assigned to the Killer’s Skull Corps, Gibson is promoted to Lieutenant Commander and is given perhaps his most famous and trademark Variable Attack Fighter, the VAF-BK-02E Bloodykaiser, of which he and only three other pilots have. Even though he is assigned one of the first VAF99-GR-C GrumRipper, Gibson questions whether the new mobile suit design is enough to change the fate of Sith. He is one of the few aware that the Sith forces are short on experienced pilots. In October, At the Battle of Solomon on December 31, Gibson was overwhelmed by the Republic's onslaught. With time running out for the beleaguered base, he fought desperately to protect his allies's escape via a Giga-class warship. Gibson was officially listed as missing in action following the battle, but was assumed dead and promoted posthumously. It has been recorded that after his final battle, he shot down a staggering one hundred eighty-five enemies in all, for the entire war. It was said that Jethro Gibson was so feared at the battle of Solomon that a full rank promotion was offered to anyone who was able to shoot the ace down.

After the war
Gibson was later confirmed as survivor of the Battle of Solomon. Gibson survived through the fierce battle of A Baoa Qu although his VAF’s was badly damaged by the Dougarm's overwhelming firepower. With the aid of the comrade, he reached Dolos -"the VAF Carrier" and ride on his VAF-GK10C again, which was modified by a mechanic maniac and was called the "Shadow Chaser". He then successfully destroyed 3 chasing republic warship and leaved the battlefield. After the end of the One Year war, between 415-416, Jethro Gibson devoted his time into the after-war reconstruction of the Naburu using the name "Jethro Depp. In order to stop the ambition of Jamille Kuadro by Sly Hunter, another former sith ace, Gibson got on his VAF and fight again. After defeated Kuadro, Jethro Gibson returned to Solomon and live happily with his new lover.
