Jace Pulostruo (The Ripple)

Jace Pulostruo (19 BBY- 42 ABY) was an author best known for his auto-biographical work Rebel: From Hoth to Jakku, about his experience as a Rebel Soldier during the Galactic Civil War. He also produced several works of fiction, which, while critically acclaimed, never reached the widespread notice that his biography did. In particular, Rebel's uncompromising and horrifying description of liberated Imperial Slave Camps and the Wookiee Genocide shocked the Galaxy.

Early Life and Education
Pulostruo was born into an affluent family in the suburbs of Coronet. His mother was a common woman who married the wealthy businessman Finn Pulostruo, though unbeknownst to both Finn and Jace, his father was an unidentified Clone Trooper whom his mother met as a member of the Corellian Resistance during the 20 BBY Battle of Corellia. He was educated in the Imperial University on Coruscant.

Military Career
Jace Pulostruo joined the Rebellion in 1 ABY after the Battle of Yavin. He cites Luke Skywalker as major inspiration for his decision. Jace had long harboured resentment towards the Empire, though he was reluctant to take up arms against them until his then girlfriend, Ciarli Skripsagt was killed by them due to suspected terrorist actions. The fact that Luke Skywalker was the same age as him contributed greatly to his decision to join the Rebellion. Jace would undergo training on Mon Calamari, where he met Louisa Jijjlade, who would become his wife. Jijjade was an A-Wing pilot and had already seen action at Scarif and several other battles. Jace would first see combat on Hoth in 3 ABY. Later, he would also take part in the Endor, Bespin, Naboo, Kashyyyk and Jakku campaigns. During the war, Jace kept notes on a stolen holopad, many of these notes were lost when the pad was damaged in by an explosion. During the Battle of Kashyyyk, Jace was one of the soldiers who liberated the Imperial Slave Camps after the Battle. It was here that the Wookie Genocide had been discovered. Jace's unit liberated several camps including POW Camps housing Republic Prisoners and Wookie Slave Camps. The Slave Camps run exclusively by Trandoshans featured even worse conditions.

Post War
Jace would display signs of post-traumatic stress after the war, he suffered from flashbacks, and frequent nightmares. In particular, the sights that he witnessed on Kashyyyk had a profound effect on his worldview, he was for a time convinced that violence was the inherent nature of sentient beings, and locked himself in exile for a year and a half, obsessively writing his memoirs. However, after the first "Rebel Reunion" in 9 ABY, Jace changed his attitude upon hearing the stories of incredible heroism that took place during the war. It was here that he reunited with Louisa Jijjade, who he would marry in 11 ABY after the birth of their first child. At this point he released his memoirs as a finished product.

Death and Legacy
Jace died in 42 BBY as a result of the Black Fever Virus that was created and spread by the First Order. Rebel: From Hoth to Jakku was adapted into a Holofilm by renowned director Jeorj Lukazz in 22 BBY. Lukazz was famous for directing the 17 BBY war epic, ''The Battle of Yavin. ''The film was met with critical acclaim and was considered by many to be the most accurate depiction of combat ever to appear in a holofilm. It was so accurate in fact that many veterans of the war, both Rebel and Imperial were unable to sit through it as it too closely resembled the actual fighting. Jace himself made it through most of the film until the scene depicting the liberated Imperial Camps on Kashyyyk came, it was then that he walked out, though he praised the film with a glowing review. Rebel ended up becoming the third most popular War Memoir in the galaxy after Muunilist 10 by Arc 77 and Trooper: Honour and Duty by TK-345 or Sabrak Jimlin
