Born on the agricultural world of Telos IV, Aldraan’s early life was spent with his family on their farm on the outskirts of the nearest city. His father worked often amongst the agricultural corps who wandered through his lands in order to buy and trade produce for their continuing mission. Aldraan was eight years old when the Mandalorian wars began, and his elder brother Duron was the first of the family to rush to the republic’s defense, enlisting for the navy. Aldraan and his family continued their farmlife, albeit carrying the worry for Duron all the while. Tragic news came to the farmstead five years later when the Republic offered their condolences for the death of Duron Kaas, killed in action aboard the hammerhead class cruiser; ‘The Venerator’ against Mandalorian forces attempting to push into the Mid-Rim.

The death of Duron had a profound effect on Aldraan. Already uninspired by his father’s work, with the death of his brother he was thrusted towards a new life goal; Revenge on the Mandalorians for their crimes. He secluded himself often from his family and got to work on the hobby he’d been practicing since Duron had left the family home, working with engines. His brother had taught him the basics before he’d enlisted, but Aldraan still sought more information, which lead him to enter the city and apprentice himself to one of the local engineers. By the age of Eighteen, Aldraan was ready to enlist himself in the Republic. His work as an engineer gave him a good leg up, but his ultimate goal was the frontline infantry; taking the fight to the Mandalorians himself.

His first taste of battle was later in the Mandalorian wars in the battle of Duro where he was assigned under a brash young captain charged with holding the line against the incoming mandalorian fleet that assailed the orbiting cities above the planets surface. Fighting for his life amongst what remained of the soldiers he’d served with, Aldraan was lucky to survive the onslaught thanks to the timely arrival of the new interdictor class cruisers that stopped the Mandalorian forces escaping with copious amounts of war equipment. After the battle, Aldraan found himself re-assigned amongst the Republic fleet, heading towards Mandalorian space.

He briefly served as an engineer aboard the Hammerhead class cruiser ‘Vestibule’ which fought in the battle of Jaga’s Cluster where he sustained injuries due to attacks upon the vessel and in the aftermath of the defeat was transported back to the Core for medical treatment. Aldraan remained in medical care throughout the rest of the war, only returning to duty after the Revanchist had left known space. He would later share the bitter taste of betrayal that many of his fellow soldiers felt when the newly created Sith Empire returned, laying waste to the planet Telos IV in a brutal bombardment. Aldraan was amongst the evacuation team and saw the carnage that was left of his home.

Still nursing the wounds of Telos, Aldraan finds himself re-assigned to a backwater mudball known as Viscara, assisting the Republics Research and Development team by serving as a security guard whilst awaiting new orders.
