  "The Force is no joke, but if you want one I've got a few."

Jedi Mike's Story
"Everyone has a Story, but only a few have one worth telling."

Early Life (1 ABY - 25 ABY)
Jedi Mike was born on bespin about 1 ABY when Lando Calrissian became the Baron Administrator of Cloud City. As a child he grew up not knowing he had the Force. He was found by Luke Skywalker in 20 ABY. He learned to use the Force, and became just a regular Jedi. A few years after he was found he had become a Jedi Knight.

Jedi Training
"Whoa that's shiny." "Don't Touch that!"

When Mike had started training he was quiet and shy. He had no friends until a few months later came Drew. They met and immediately became friends. Together they planned their adventures that would take them through the galaxy, but they didn't know their true fate. After a year of training they went on their first mission together, it was a quick pick-up for Luke Skywalker on Yavin IV They left and traveled through the jungle on speeder bikes, which after an hour Mike's died and later blew up. Drew's died immediately after. They were stranded in the jungle only a few miles away from their pick-up destination.

After running from monsters, jedi spirits, and a crazy old man they finally reached their pick-up destination. After much delay they finally made it back, and would never be the same. A few months after they both met Nik, and these became the closest of friends. Soon cam time though where Mike's off-Yavin training began.

During Mike's Off-Yavin training he had many different trainers, each dying on a certain mission of theirs. He must of went through a dozen trainers before he was called back to Yavin for the rest of his training. During this time though he met Senators, bounty hunters, and many of other travelers. He was soon back, but different.

After a year of final training, he was off. He left the Jedi order for a year to explore many different aspects of the galaxy. On his travels he met many friends which now help him in his everyday troubles. When he came back he was soon knighted, along with Drew. He again left but not the Jedi order this time, he left for diplomatic Missions across the Galaxy.

Knighthood
"I'm a leaver, I leave when the Force calls me away."

Mike had become a Jedi Knight, which many people would have killed for in this New Order. Mike really didn't see the importance until about 27 ABY which is when he fought in the Yuuzhan Vong War. He met his two friends Jedi Nik and Drew and did what he could to stop the war. He then realized his place in the Jedi Order which was to protect those who had no protection, and save those who have no savior.  This was probably the most notable time in his life, after the war he took what he knew and built his first ship: the Slave II. He had found a wreckage somewhere on dantooine of a ship called the Slave I, so he rebuilt it with a few additions of his own. He finished the Slave series with his final Slave: Slave XI. Unfortunatly, each of the Slave ships had something wrong with it, and twice it wasn't the ship it was the captain Mike had assigned.

After the slave series Mike left the order yet again, and for the last time. (See "The Dark Years").

After all the ships Mike decided to start from scratch and created the First in the Velocity series: the Velocity I. Unfotunatly, this ship also resulted in explosive ends. Mike thought this would be a replication of the Slave series but was surprised when his marvelous Velocity II was finished. It took him several years to finish, unlike the previous ships which took a few months. He was surprised because this ship actually still exists.

He has had many adventures across the galaxy and met many people. His team consists of two jedi, a bounty hunter, and an ex-senator. They have met many of those whom fought in the battles of Yavin, Hoth, and Endor as well.



Mike's obsession
Mike had an obsession with Obi-Wan Kenobi. He looked up as much as he could on him whenever he had free time. His most famous accomplishment is finding writings on tatooine by Obi-Wan Kenobi, which he compiled into a diary and is now in his personal Library.



The Dark Years
"Your days as a Sith are numbered, but mine have just begun."

Mike had just left the order hoping to have some time to himself. He still had his faithful lightsaber and knowledge of the Force. He soon fell to the teachings of the Dark Side after recovering an old Sith gauntlet. He learned the Sith teachings among 30 others, in the end only 5 survived, a result of the five betraying the rest.

He soon started his own Sith faction, becoming his own Lord. He had many friends join him, and had a small army that was aided by his apprentice's knowledge of Battle Meditation. He went on destroying many other factions of the Sith that existed during that time, conquering and keeping all that was now his. Obviously, his army grew into a large army that could now pose a threat to planets, and even star systems.

After a brief encounter with the Ghost of his longest, and first Master appearing to him he left his nearly complete empire, and came back to the order. Welcomed warmly back, and now "his training" was "complete".
