Chack Jadson

Fanon Biography
"Chack was...well, he was special. There was something about him, a desire to succeed, to win, to accomplish something. A desire to be great. And he did it through sheer will."

- Luke Skywalker

Chack Jadson, code name Blizzard 12, was a Human male born in 36 BBY on Seswenna who eventually became a Jedi Master and an Admiral in the Rebel Alliance.

34—24 BBY
Chack was discovered by the Jedi when he was a year old. Even though he was older than the standard age, one year was still young, and the Jedi thought he would be fine. He was taken to Coruscant, and raised at the Jedi Temple. He became friends with several Jedi his age. Chack had great potential and displayed it even at when he was just eight years old. He was a good student who listened to his teachers, and respected them.

Conflicts
In 24 BBY hundreds of Jedi were dispatched to the Outer Rim after several worlds engaged in a territory dispute began fighting. The mayor of one of the planets, Nefrassi, secretly commissioned an army, which invaded two other planets involved in the dispute. Because the planets were not part of the Republic, Chancellor Valorum was unsure how to act. While the Senate endlessly debated this alarming battle, the Senators from several neighboring systems, fearing for the safety of their home planets, ordered their planet's defense forces to act. Before Coruscant could blink, nearly 70 planets were engaged in battle. Valorum did the only thing he could think of—he sent 300 combined Jedi Knights and Masters to the original aggitators, the worlds of the Varonat System. Chack was among those supposed to be left at the Temple. However, in the confusion surrounding the Jedi's departure, he was able to scramble into one of the Consular-class space cruisers, spurred by his curiousity and desire to see the Galaxy. Shortly after the crusiers came out of hyperspace, Chack was discovered by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, on board with his Padawan Anakin Skywalker. He begged to stay. Obi-Wan took him to Ki-Adi-Mundi, deemed one of the leaders of the expedition. Mundi allowed him to remain, as long as he stayed on the ship, Guardian VII. However this was only because it would have been impractical to take Chack home to Coruscant. Chack agreed to remain on the Guardian VII, seeing he had no other choice.

The Battle Begins
The battle begun in space, with the Jedi allying with the defense forces of the Republic-allied planets. The battle was shown to be a completely one-sided mismatch, even with the Republic forces holding back. The non-Jedi leader of the mission, Jarrkul Awyn, sent a transmission to the twelve opposing forces offering they surrender and a compromise would be worked out. Eleven groups acquiesed, but one did not. Nefrassi, the world that began the argument, led by Mayor Elek Orbo, attacked the Consular-class crusier Peacemaker, destroying it. The 43 Jedi onboard were killed. Stunned, Jarrkul Awyn ordered the eleven planetary defense forces to retaliate, while the Jedi attempted to control them. The Republic fleet was stunned by the boldness of Orbo, as his "fleet" consisted of only six CR90s, dozens of YT-1300s, and hundreds of Z-95 Z-95 Headhunters. Out from behind Nefrassi's fourth moon, Kabdulja, suddenly appeared a fleet of Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers. The Republic was stunned. It had gone from being a Republic rout to a battle. Though the Jedi did not know (and wouldn't learn til 20 BBY) Dooku, by then allied with the Trade Federation and the Banking Clan, had contacted the mayor. He had offered him firepower in exchange for a distraction and support in the war that he knew would come soon. The mayor agreed, for the people of Nefrassi bore a hatred for the Republic. In 34 BBY a nuclear weapon being tested by the Republic had malfunctioned. It was supposed to land and detonate on an uninhabited world nearby, K'Looll. However, it ended crashing on Nefrassi,it was too little too late. Finis Valorum would undergo a lot of criticism as it appeared he was trying to save his own skin rather than the contaminated planet. The mayor had eagerly accepted Dooku's offer when he approached him. Nefrassi was already involved in a territorial dispute with the 11 neighboring of the Varonat system, and it was simply elevated with the invasions of Hawon and Pefroy. But of the battle, what had appeared a rout had become a grinding fight. The forces of Orbo consisted of 14 Dreadnaughts. The Republic would have stood no chance, if not for one thing—the Jedi.

The Battle Climaxes
Onboard their cruisers, the Jedi rushed to their fighters, taking off in Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptors. On the Guardian VII, Chack headed to the hangar. He did not want to just sit around and wait for the ship to be destroyed. He had disobeyed the Jedi Council on Coruscant, and know would pay for it. He took off in a spare ship after the other Jedi. There, Chack would fight in the first of many battles. He was a skilled pilot despite his age, and proved to be a colossal help. The Jedi were able to destroy several of the Dreadnaughts, but still, the Republic was outnumbered. Chack, flying above the Dreadnaught Reign Ender, was being attacked by several Headhunters. He swooped down, executing a maneuver similar to the slip-jaws Obi-Wan and Anakin would later make famous. The Z-95s were still hot on his tail, as Chack spotted an escape. A hole right through the corpse of the nearby cruiser Hh'Kli would prove to be his path to freedom—or so he thought. The tunnel led to a dead end. In a panic, Chack released his proton torpedoes, ripping a hole in the wall. Chack shot through, free of his pursuers. He wasn't out of trouble yet though; right in front of him loomed another Dreadnaught. Chack had an inspiration. Pulling sharply upwards, he fired his proton torpedoes at the bridge, destroying it. He swung around for another pass, and flew toward the engines. He fired at them, causing a massive explosion which ripped through the ship. It was destroyed. Chack had started a chain reaction. As the last fragments of the ship fell, they crashed into another. The shields faltered, giving the Jedi pilots a chance to attack it. Fire from them ripped a hole through it. Chack swooped down, ready to deliver the killing blow. He fired several torpedoes. They flew right through the hole created by the other, destroying half a dozen nearby Dreadnaughts were destroyed, along with hundreds of fighters. But most crucial was the fact that Orbo's command ship, Vengeance, was disintegrated. Without their leader, the Nefrassi Navy was at a loss. However, they regouped, and with five Dreadnaughts left, the battle was still raging. Ki-Adi-Mundi led an invasion onto the ship LOE, capturing it, and turning the tide. Suddenly, Nefrassi had only two Dreadnaughts left, and seeing no alternative, surrendered. The Republic had won. Chack had enabled a victory by starting the sequence. The Jedi discovered it was him as soon as they landed. He feared for the worst. But because he had given the Republic victory, he would not be punished, only warned. Still, Chack returned to Coruscant a hero. He was very proud of his accomplishments, but unlike a fellow Jedi, Anakin Skywalker, he did not like being in the spotlight all the time. It was after this that many Jedi, including Foul Moudama, began to notice him.

Later Life
The next year passed uneventfully, until he was taken as Foul Moudama's Padawan in 23 BBY. He fought in the Clone Wars and became well-known, despite his youth. He was acquaintances with Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Aayla Secura, Mace Windu and Yoda among others. Chack admired Anakin and Obi-Wan; the hero without fear and the negotiator. Like Anakin, Chack strived to be great. When the Clone Wars began Chack went on several missions with his master. On the battlefields of the Galaxy he learned of the bravery of many Jedi, as well as the evil of the CIS and in particular, Grievous. It was also where he first began to comprehend the nature of the Force, and especially the dark side.

The Clone Wars
On an isolated planet in the Outer Rim, Chack experienced the dark side firsthand. Fighting with his master, they became seperated. Chack was ambushed by a group of Droidekas. A B1 battle droid with the party offered him a choice: to surrender and be taken to their leader, or to be killed. He chose surrender. They lead him through a neraby forest, then an abandoned city before stopping at one crumbling building. They walked into it. Inside was a tunnel which they all entered. Chack marched several miles underground before they stopped, and entered a side tunnel. Beyond that was a great cavern. In the center of it stood a massive castle. It was one of many secret command posts. Inside however, stood Dooku. Chack was taken before him. He was tortured for several days and came very close to the dark side. Just when things were bleakest for the young Jedi, he was rescued by the 501st Legion led by his master, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Republic had pushed the Seps back into the city, and discovered the underground passage. He then pledged never to stray from the light.

The End of the War
Later, he was sent to Saleucami during the Outer Rim Sieges while his master remained on Coruscant. While there, he learned of General Grievous' invasion of Coruscant and the death of his master. Chack was devastated at the loss of Foul Moudama. He was comforted by Stass Allie, who offered to become his new master when time was right. Chack understood that he needed to let his grief go, and accepted her offer. they would have to get the Jedi Councils approval. Sadly, they never got the chance.

Death of the Jedi Order
When Order 66 was issued a week later, Chack's clones attempted to kill him. He fled from them, then commandeered a LAAT/i gunship, which he used to escape into a barren forest. He hid there for several days until he was able to escape off-planet by stowing away on a merchants freighter. Through use of a mind trick, as well promises of "15,000 when we get to Alderaan", he was able to gain passage to Alderaan. Once there he learned of the Great Jedi Purge and the creation of the Empire from Bail Organa. Chack had met Organa once or twice before, but they both knew who the other was. Organa was frequently featured on Holonet news because of his bold political maneuvers. Chack was also shown occasionally due to his heroic deeds in the Battle of Varonat and several Clone Wars battles. Organa was glad to see another Jedi. He decided that Chack could be trusted and then told him the truth about Palpatine, but did not tell him about Vader's true identity. Chack was appalled and vowed to do everything he could to defeat the evil Empire. Bail told him that there might be a time in the future when his helped would be needed. Curious, Chack asked for more details. Bail reluctantly told him of the Declaration of 2000, and the leaders, him, Mon Mothma, and the deceased Padme Amidala. They had begun thinking about a worst case scenario during the last days of the Republic. It had come true. They planned to slowly wait until the time was right, when the galaxy was fed up with the authoritarian rule of the Empire, and then form a resistance. Chack would eagerly await that for the next 18 years.

Life After the Jedi
Chack gained a position working as an aide to Senator Organa, rising up the list of palace staff. No one, except Bail, knew his true identity. The others living and working in the palace knew only that he was an enemy of the Empire. He told them only that he was an orphan from Tatooine named Matt and that he had worked as an aide to the Jedi, making him an enemy of Palpatine. He was rarely seen in public, wisely choosing to keep a low profile. Everything was doing fine, until one day in 16 BBY. Walking through the palace gardens one morning, Chack suddenly remembered a time when he had first seen the Room of a Thousand Fountains. He was then confronted with the realization that he was the only Jedi left, that the Empire would never fall, that the Sith would hold rule over the galaxy for all eternity. In tears, he rushed to talk to Bail, who revealed to him that Yoda and Obi-Wan had survived. Chack was thrilled. They sat and talked for hours, mentioning all the Jeid who died during the Clone Wars, as well as the state of the Empire and when the time would be ripe for it to fall. This gave him hope that no matter how long it took—a year, a decade, a century—the Jedi would rise again and defeat the Sith.

Formation of the Rebellion
Chack kept to himself, although he often would talk to Bail, and sometimes ask for advice or even give him some. He remained secluded awaitng the time to rise up against the evil Empire. In 1 BBY, that time came: the Rebel Alliance was formed. Bail Organa offered him a position in the Alliance Fleet. He quickly rose through the ranks of the then tiny fleet, becoming an Admiral shortly before the Battle of Yavin. His flagship was an Acclamator named Pride. He also had an X-wing, though he seldom flew it in battle, instead commanding the fight from the bridge of Pride. Though the Alliance fought hard, time and time again the Empire routed them in battle. They had too few men, too few supplies, and too few starfighters. Alliance High Command was disheartened. Worse, news came that Palaptine had unleashed Vader to crush the Rebellion—and kill the leaders.

The Galactic Civil War
Chack was forced to live a miserable life for several months, always on the run, in constant fear of being captured by the Empire. The Rebellion was given a major boost in morale when they heard of the theft of the Death Star plans, but it was short-lived. Soon came the news that Leia Organa had been captured. They believed all was lost. Indeed, it nearly was. Alderaan, home of Bail Organa, was the next planet the Empire would use to make a statement. The Rebellion was devastated by the loss. It was then that many began to realize just how evil Palpatine was, and how powerful the dark side could be when harnessed by a master—like Vader.

Yavin
Chack's fleet sat in an abandoned system near Mygeeto at the time of the Battle of Yavin. Hundreds of people gathered on the bridge Pride, listening to an audio feed of the battle in horrified silence. Nearly all of them beleived that that day was the day that would see the end of the Rebellion, and of any hope for freedom. The exact opposite happened. A young man named Luke Skywalker destroyed the Death Star, giving hope to the Galaxy. For the first time, the Rebl Alliance began to believe they had a shot, that they could win.

Hope
Chack led his fleet to the Yavin system, where he helped many crew escape during the Fifth Battle of Yavin IV. He was later awarded with a medal for his actions in the battle. As the war progressed, Chack grew more notable. He became friends with Luke Skywalker, as well as Leia Organa, Han Solo, Admiral Ackbar and Wedge Antilles. The Alliance began to gain the support of more beings, planets, and even star systems. Some even defied the Empire openly. To counter this, the Empire stepped up production of its weapons, such as AT-ATs and TIE Fighters. Both sides were constantly fighting to gain the upperhand by inventing some new technology. The Empire almost succeeded with the Dark trooper project, but much to the relief of the Rebels, Kyle Katarn ended it.

Later in the War
Cahck fought in many later battles, the most notable of which were the battles of Bothawui, Nocto, and Kothlis. One of his greatest failures was over Felucia, where his fleet battled Jack Nebulax's. Nebulax won, and Chack was forced to flee in order to survive. Chack was not at the Hoth during battle, rather he was on the Outer Rim world of Drallost, planning for a major battle which would soon take place there. Drallost was a world rich in resources. As it was far from any major systems, it had never been in the Republic, and had managed to stay neutral for the war. But the Empire had recently discovered that in addition to being rich in minerals, it was near several key hyperspace routes. Palpatine planned to attack, knowing that the Rebellion would counter him. He believed that there he could weaken the Rebellion, in preparation for the major battle he knew would soon occur.

Prelude to the Battle
Chack was to defend the planet. Onboard his flagship, in his quarters, Chack had a vision, one of a strange figure with a blue lightsaber fighting a shadowy figure with a crimson blade. He opened his safe, and then opened a secret compartment in it. Inside was his lightsaber, which he had not touched since 19 BBY. He had a feeling he would need it. Then, leading twelve Mon Calamari cruisers, Chack flew to Drallost on his new flagship, an MC80 named Promise. Him and the Rebel soldiers landed on the planets surface, and they headed off, some of them flying X-wings. They knew, thanks to an Imperial defector, that the Empire's ships would not arrive for another day, giving them valuable time to formulate a plan. On the planet, Chack was contacted by Mon Mothma, who informed him of the Battle of Hoth and of the loss of the Princess. He sighed, as all they could do was hope for the best. Meanwhile, Chack and his men snuck into the capital city of Yoret, where it was strangely quiet. There were no people outside, no one on the streets. Not even a sound could be heard. The city was deserted. It was eerie. Then they realized that a shadow was beginning to cover the city. The Empire had arrived early.

The Battle of Drallost
The Rebels fled, rushing back to the outskirts of the city. Above them, landing crafts were arriving, carrying thousands of stormtroopers. The Rebels were outnumbered. Leading the Imperial forces was the infamous General Ka'Sim, who had led his forces to victory over the Alliance many times. The Empire was armed with AT-ATs, AT-STs, and of course, stormtroopers. The two forces were on opposite sides of Yoret, marching towards the center of the city where they would do battle. Rebels led by Chack Jadson versus Imperials led by Ka'Sim. The battle began, with both sides fighting ferociously. However, thanks to their advantage in numbers, the battle slowly began to turn in the Empires favor. And it would have continued like that, if not for one thing—the 182nd Wookiee Elite. This elite unit of Wookiee warriors had been freed from slavery at the hands of the Empire, and had joined the Rebel Alliance. This was the first battle they had fought in though. As the landing crafts carrying the mighty Wookiees landed, the tide began to turn. The Imperials were stunned. They had never seena nything like the Wookiees. Fighting for their people, so many of whom had been tortured or killed by the Empire, they were unstoppable. The Wookiees unleashed their anger. As one Rebel soldier remarked, "Even as a mortal enemy of the Empire, I almost feel sorry for those who have the misfortune of fighting these creatures." The Wookiees began to push the Empire back. Then, the Rebels made a daring move. Along with six of his soldiers, Chack captured an AT-AT. Taking control of the mammoth machine, they turned it on the stormtroopers and began firing on them. Dozens were killed. In the confusion, the Rebel soldiers managed to capture several more walkers, turning the cautious Imperial retreat into a flatout race to get back to the field where their ships had landed. Suddenly, Chack felt a tremor in the Force. He hopped out of the AT-AT, and headed to a nearby building with a strange aura around it. Inside stood Ka'Sim, holding a red lightsaber.

Dark Forces
Ka'Sim smiled smuggly at Chack, who could only stare in shock. Then, the General revealed that he had been found to be force-sensitive, and had been trained as a special Emperor's Hand. Rather than lurking in the shadows utilizing stealth, he would command Imperial forces on the battle field, without revealing his true nature. The Emperor had realized who he was and had deemed Chack a sufficient threat, and had ordered Ka'Sim to kill him. And with that, he charged forward, ready for blood. Chack reached into his cloak, igniting his lightsaber, thanking the Force for the vision he had had earlier, causing him to bring his weapon. They dueled. Chack was losing vey early, as he had not fought for over 20 years. But as the battle continued, it began to come back to him, and he began to force Ka'Sim back. After knocking Ka'Sim to the ground, the evil warrior put his saber away, and attacked with Force lightning. Chack was caught off-balance by the ferocity of the attack, and was thrown to the ground. Ka'Sim advanced, screaming that now he would die. As the Dark Jedi stood over him, Chack reached into the Force, hurling things at him. Ka'Simw as now forced to catch furniture and throw it back. The attacker had become the vunerable one. Chack drew his lightsaber, and rushed forward. Ka'Sim was able to get his weapon out, but Chack knocked it out of his hand with a vicious blow. Then, he stabbed the Imperial General and Emperor's Hand, killing him. Standing over Ka'Sims body victorious, Chack felt great. For the first time in two decades, he felt like a Jedi. Chack could feel the Force flowing through him, and he knew that this was what he was, that he was a servant of the Force. Chack Jadson was a Jedi once more. The Sith would fall, for there was still hope from someone in the Galaxy. He knew not who that was, only that someone still had a chance to destroy the Empire.

End of the Battle
Walking out the building, Chack gave the order for the MC80s to attack and destroy what Imperial ships they could. Above, the Rebel cruisers began to enter the planets atmosphere, catching the Imperial Star Destroyers by surpirse. Several were caught with their shields down and destroyed. Then, the ships opened their cannons, and fired down on Drallost, aiming just outside the city. That was where thousands of Imperial personnel had fled. Nearly all were killed. The remaining Star Destroyers fled. Drallost had been secured, and General Ka'Sim had been killed. Chack returned to Sullust a hero of the Rebellion and of Drallost. In reward for this victory, Chack was rewarded with his own fleet, known as Blizzard Squadron, one of the elite space units among the Rebellion. His new flagship was a captured Imperial I-class Star Destroyer named Manwe.

Fall of the Empire
After Bespin, Chack realized that Luke Skywalker was acting different. He seemed more subdued, quieter. Shortly after that, he declared that he was a Jedi. Chack knew that he was the one who still held hope for the Galaxy, but did not reveal his true identity. Chack was present at the Battle of Endor aboard his flagship, Manwe. He helped Ackbar command the battle, and was in contact with Wedge Antilles throughout, providing and listening to ideas. When the Death Star blew, Chack was exhilirated, knowing that Vader and Palpatine were finally dead. He later learned that Luke had escaped, and then told him that he too was a Jedi. In 10 ABY Manwe was destroyed, and Chack was given a new flagship, a newly commissioned Executor-class Star Dreadnought. He named it Yllom. Chack joined Luke's Jedi Praxeum shortly after it opened, taking a break from the New Republic fleet for several months, then returning to command for several months. Chack soon became an official Jedi Knight, and later a Master. He was a major player in the years that followed, when the New Republic was created and struggled to defend itself from many threats like the Emperor Reborn, Thrawn, and the Yuuzhan Vong. He continued to serve as an Admiral aboard his flagship. He also fought on the ground as a Jedi occasionally, though he preferred to command the battle from Yllom. It was Chack who commissioned a plaque to be hung in the Rebel Alliance Hall of Heroes which stated, "time will not dim the glory of their deeds."

Blizzard Squadron
Blizzard Squadron was Chack's fleet, one of the Rebellion's greatest units. It was the Alliance's answer to Death Squadron. Chack had complete control over all the ships and soldiers in this squadron, and he made good use of it.

They served in the 508th Legion, a divison of Blizzard Squadron. Standing 1.84 meters tall, they were top-of-the-line, similar to IG-100 magnaguards. They were excellent warriors. Only 1000 were made, all of which had the art of lightsaber combat built in them. They carried thermal detonators, a DC-15, built-in interference field projectors, wrist rockets, and a flamethrower. 32 were trained specially by Chack and carried electrostaffs. These 32 were known as Wampa Squad.
