Oren Rang

Oren Rang was a bounty hunter and mercenary born on Mandalore during the fall of the Galactic Empire. His parents died in a battle with surviving Galactic Empire forces when he was six years old; he would later come to meet Aster Malric, who became his mentor. Malric taught the boy the Six Actions of the Mandalorians, as well as survival and combat tactics.

When he approached the latter years of adolescence, he wanted to see the universe, and accompanied Aster Malric on a diplomatic mission to Coruscant to resolve conflicts between the New Republic and the Mandalorian race on the basis of territories. During their voyage to Coruscant, Malric’s ship, the Death's Hand, was boarded and in the ensuing firefight, Rang was hit but managed to kill almost all of the pirates before they fled off the ship. After the pirates’ escape, Malric flagged down the ship and destroyed it, only to die of his wound after the destruction of the ship. Following the death of Malric, Oren vowed to finish the negotiations as planned. He arrived at Coruscant and told the New Republic’s leaders what had happened. They made quick work of negotiations and the Mandalorians gained controls of their previous territories in exchange for being allies with the New Republic.

About five years after the death of Malric, Rang took to designing and forging custom armor for himself. He chose charcoal as the base of his armor because he was still in mourning for Malric and subconsciously for his dead parents. After a few months of testing out the new armor, he added several features to the armor as well as splotches of red coloring to intimidate to his enemies. Rang also modified a pair of DL-44 heavy pistols, as well as a MandalTech Mandalorian sniper rifle.

One of Oren Rang’s first contracts, as a new but highly dangerous bounty hunter, was a Jedi named Taren Baneesh, who had fallen to the dark side, and was wanted by the. Rang’s intel took him to the shadowy world of Nar Shaddaa, where the fallen Jedi had taken refuge. After several days of searching, Oren Rang finally found Baneesh and killed him. In order to claim the bounty, he took the fallen Sith’s lightsabers as his prize.
