Dax Olesa, A Soldier's Journal/Chapter One

Kirs and Devyn Olesa, my mother and father respectively. Perhaps I should introduce myself, I am Dax Olesa. I am in bed at the Mon Mothma Memorial Medical Center. I have been poisoned, you see, poisoned by members of the Imperial Remnant, but that will come later in my tale. I was born in 42 BBY. my parents were quite well to do, and bought me whatever I wanted. I was a spoiled child, I admit. But even though they never had time for me, I loved them. They were my parents and I loved them. Anyway, I'm droning. I was born without a right eye so my parents had a cybernetic one implanted for me. It was more that they wanted a perfect child, than caring about my health. I grew up with several staff members, and caretakers, whose jobs it were to cater to my every desire. But still, I loved my parents.

When I was ten, my parents left to Naboo and never came back. My maid was the one who informed me of their fate. It was 32 BBY the same year of the Trade Federation Blockade on Naboo. My parents were killed by the Federation and I was left on my own, well, relatively.

I was left with an empty barren feeling inside. I felt lost. I swore to avenge my parents death, but I knew I couldn't do it alone. Over the next few years I became close friends with several other orphans, each of whom had their own sad story. Most of them also had their parents murdered by the Federation in one way or another. Each of my friends kept a certain flame of revenge burning within them, we all had a void that needed to be filled.

When I was fifteen I inherited my parents assets. I received their YT-2400 Light Freighter, their house, their money, and their weapons.
