Rebels? Hah! I see nothing but a bunch of Imperial rejects, traitors, and morons...
—Zekk when commenting on captured rebel soldiers
Zekk Nalet was born in Keren, Naboo to his father Tychus and mother Sare'. Raised strictly Republic and often times sent off to summer Academies and Private schools to ensure the best of the best education money could offer, Zekk never saw much of his family or home after the age of 6. But that was fine and all well to him, he was an Republicist at heart and nothing else. He treasured the pride he felt in being apart of a Republic family and attending young Officers Academies on several different worlds. excelling at his studies and dreamed of the day he'd own his very own starship with a full assortment of crew and weapons of destruction to fight the plagues of the galaxy.
When he became old enough he was drafted into the service as a deck office aboard an Acclamator class star destroyer and eventually served in several battles during the Clone Wars obtaining fast promotions until he reached the status of Captain in BBY 19 at the end of the Clone Wars and assigned to the new Star Destroyer model, the Victory II to which he entitled the ship The Aurora after his late Wife Aurora Nalet.
Zekk proudly served underneath the empire through several post-Clone War battles, doing as directed no matter the task or morals concerned. He was Imperial and thats all he needed to know. It was his duty to carry out the tasks given to him, no matter the level of which that task was. He continued to serve the command deck of The Aurora until its final demise in 3 ABY.
