Biography
TK-117 was born on the planet of Coruscant 23 years before the Battle of Yavin. He lived with his two parents in a luxury apartment complex. He was around four years old the day the Empire was created. As he grew older, he earned himself a job in the industrial district of Coruscant, as a repairman of speeders and various other ships. At around the time he turned 18, he realized he couldn't keep fixing speeders the rest of his life. He aspired to do something greater. So, he joined his local Imperial Academy. After about 1 year of training he was sent out on his first deployment. He managed to kill a signifigant amount of rebels. His superiors took notice in these skills, and just one week later, he was placed into the 71st Mobile Reconnaissance Unit.
