Conrad Bac

Conrad Bac was the father of Jonathan Bac, the first of the, and the first notable member of the Bac family. He held the rank of general in the Organian Army decades before the Unification War and encouraged his son to pursue a career in the military. Before he had a chance to see his son join the military, he was assassinated by a then-unknown assailant. For decades, it was believed that he had been assassinated by a cover agent from the Corellian Empire, though at the end of the Unification War it was revealed that he had been assassinated by a member of the Anarchic Brotherhood of Planets.

Although Conrad was not well known during the time that he lived in, he was later remembered as a brave soldier, a caring father and one of the men responsible for the course that his family took in the thousands of years following his untimely death. Jonathan Bac also said during his term as Supreme Chancellor that many of his military tactics and political ideas were influenced by the journals and logs of his father, meaning that Conrad had an influence on the outcome of the Unification War and the formation of the Galactic Republic.

Early life
Conrad Bac was born during the monarchy of the House of Organa to Dylan Bac and his wife Shannai Belatrice. His father was an army captain who met Shannai during a tour of duty on where his mother had been working as a local bartender. After spending one year together on Anaxes, Dylan proposed to her and she accepted the proposal. Shortly thereafter, Shannai moved to Alderaan with him and they were married two weeks later. It was only three months later that Shannai learned that she was pregnant, and six months later Conrad was born in his parent’s home in.

When he was ten years old, Conrad followed in a family tradition and joined the Alderaanian youth organization called “Becoming Soldiers of Alderaan”, known as the B.S.A. for short. After four years in the organization, he earned the organizations highest award, known as the Falcon Medal. Earning the Falcon Medal had become something of a Bac family tradition, so he was incredibly proud to be able to carry on the tradition and he hoped that if he had a son that he would be able to continue to carry on the tradition.

When he was eighteen years old, Conrad was accepted into the Alderaanian Military Academy just outside of Aldera. He was on the intercollegiate and  teams during three out of the four years he was in school, was an academically distinguished cadet who was in the top five percent of his class for the first three years and was a Cadet Captain during his fourth year. Though his studies mainly included military doctrine, tactics and leadership, he took a great interest in the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi as they had taken great strides to maintain peace within the.

Conrad graduated from the top of his class and gave the commencement address as the class valedictorian, the first member of his family to receive such an honor during their time at the academy. After graduation, he was given three weeks of break time before beginning his first tour of duty. Two days into his break, he met Tella Crel in a market in Aldera and was immediately taken with her. He saw her many times during his three week break, and he felt that he had fallen in love with her. She told Conrad the same thing, but he had to leave for his tour of duty so he bid her goodbye.
