Biography
Kadet was born on the Cobal Space Colony during the year 18 BBY. He grew up an only child, and lived in a small apartment on the space colony with his mother and father. His father worked in the colony's hanger, repairing ships and freighters that would stop off, while his mother worked in one of the colony's cantinas as a maid. Kadet would work with his father from a very young age, meeting pilots of all kinds from all over the galaxy. While helping his father tend to ships in need of repair, he would often eavesdrop on pilots to hear their stories about their travels to different star systems. Often while doing this, he would be caught by his father day dreaming in the middle of work because of this.

Kadet did not have many friends on the colony, as he was a very shy and quiet person. His closest friend was called Jo Lieen, a hot headed young boy who lived on the colony with his uncle. The two became friends when they were both 5 years old, and were best friends for many years.

When Kadet was 15 years old, he befriended a young woman who was two years older than him called Maya Venutchi. She moved to the Cobal Space Colony with her mother and younger sister. Kadet was the first person she met on the colony, and the two became close friends as they shared a lot of the same interests. She never fully explained where she came from, and would often hold back when she was asked what planet she and her parents came from. After years of working with different ships in the colony's hanger, Kadet became quite skilled pilot. After years of living on the space colony, he dreamed of one day leaving and starting a new life on his own on a new world. But he wasn't so sure anymore since he met Maya. He became attracted to Maya, but was always too shy to ask her if she felt the same way. Along with Jo, Maya would become Kadet's closest friend as the two would always spend time together after work. However, it was not to last. Kadet found out that Maya had decided to join the Imperial Navy, and that she had already left with out telling him. Kadet was heartbroken by the news, and would never see Maya again.

Cobal Space Colony Escape
During 2 ABY, Kadet continued to work in the colony hanger, but would now have more responsibility after his father had badly injured his right arm while repairing the hyper drive of a space freighter. One day on his own in his family's apartment, he began to feel everything around him shake slightly. He had no idea what was going on, until the alarm of the Cobal Space Colony sounded. He ran into his close friend Jo, who told that Imperial Star Destroyers were attacking the colony. Baffled and confused, he quickly began looking for his father and mother. Amid all the chaos and madness, he found his mother at last. She said she had been seperated from his father, and that she had no idea where he went. Knowing that Imperial Star Destroyers attacking the station was a bad thing, he guided his mother and Jo to the hanger, so that they could take one of the ships to get off the colony. They climbed aboard a YT-1300 light freighter that Kadet was repairing that day. They were able to bring on board 10 other passengers with them, one of which was a male Rodian called Des'k Jendowanian, who offered to help fly the ship out along with Kadet. Kadet bravely guided the ship out of the hanger in tears, as he knew he could not wait for his father. Jo was able to comfort Kadet's mother as she greived the loss of her husband. The YT-1300 freighter was chased by TIE Fighters, as Kadet made the coordinates for the jump to lightspeed. Although heavily damaged, they were able to escape the Cobal system. The survivors of the battle later found out that the station was attacked upon suspision of housing members of the Rebel Alliance.

After coming out of hyperspace in a system controlled by the Rebels, their ship was intercepted by two X-Wings. After explaining what happened to the Rebels, they were allowed to dock in the hanger of the MC80 Star Cruiser. They were taken in by the rebels, and looked after. Kadet swore to avenge the death of his father by killing every Imperial he found, and decided to take the oppurtunity to join the Rebel Alliance. He remained on the cruiser with Des'k, while his mother, Jo, and the rest of the survivors were housed on the planet below.

Service with the Rebel Alliance
Kadet went on to have a distinquished career with the Rebel Alliance. He decided to become a pilot for the Alliance, and piloted the T-65 X-Wing. His first battle with the Empire was when his fleet was ambushed by Imperial forces. Although the battle was fairly small, the young Rebel Alliance pilot was able to shoot down 4 TIE Fighters during the battle, winning the respect of his flight lead.

His first major battle came during the First Battle of Onderon. It was a successful sneak attack on an Imperial military ordenance centre, that resulted in few casualties for the Rebels. This is where he earned his 5th kill, and officially made him an ace pilot for the Alliance. At the end of the battle, he shot down a total of 6 TIE Fighters, and 3 TIE Interceptors.

He continued to be a major contributor to the Rebel Alliance, as he fought in many important battles across the galaxy. He lost many friends along the way, but always got on with the job. He was respected by many new recruits coming into the Alliance, and was able to take many new pilots under his wing.

He was also present during the Battle of Hoth. However, the base fell under attack by Imperial forces, and flew escort for one of the rebel transports that left the system safely.

During a battle in the year 3 ABY, his fleet fell for an Imperial ambush. He encountered a skilled and deadly opponent flying a TIE Interceptor. He almost lost his life during this engagement, but had to retreat with the rest of the fleet as the battle was unwinnable. He often would have liked to have thought that it was Maya who he was flying against, but tried not to think about it too much.

Although he did not participate in the Battle of Endor, he did play a major role in the Liberation of Corusant. Here he would fly along with legendary Rebel pilot Wedge Antillies. He racked up a total of 23 kills during the battle.
