Koros’ story begins on the planet Iridonia where he was born. To whom, he can’t say, but what he does know is that he was dumped at an orphanage soon afterwards. Growing up in the orphanage Koros led a fairly normal life, his latent force sensitivity manifesting only in small ways which led the other kids and Koros to believe he was only very lucky. That changed shortly after his twelfth birthday, when he force pushed three other children during a fight, injuring all three. His force abilities now evident the orphanage confined young Koros to his room and contacted the Jedi temple on Coruscant. Unfortunately the Clone Wars had begun only weeks earlier and so the Jedi were unable to immediately send someone out to evaluate the child, however they were not the only ones who were interested in force sensitive children during this time.

A Twi’lek former Jedi Knight named A’luna Yeroc was on Iridonia at the time, searching for new apprentices for her order, the Jensaarai. She had sensed Koros’ outburst, and tracked him to the orphanage. Posing as a Jedi, A’luna claimed she was there to claim the child for the order. The orphanage, all too happy to be rid of a potentially dangerous child asked A’luna for her verification from the council claiming responsibility for Koros. Having no such verification, but thinking quick on her feet A’luna explained that she was on her way back to the council, and in the area so she was asked by the council to pick the child on her way home, therefore they couldn’t send verification with her. The orphanage, unfortunately could not hand the child over to A’luna without the council claiming guardianship of him. Not wanting to leave empty handed A’luna asked if she could claim guardianship of Koros herself by personally adopting him. The headmistress of the orphanage was a little surprised by her request, but there was nothing illegal about it so she wrote up the paperwork and Koros was adopted.

A’luna took the young Koros with her and set off for the planet of Susevfi, home planet of the Jensaarai order. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Twi’lek at the time three Jedi led by Nejaa Halcyon had arrived on Susevfi, and believing they were part of the Sith conspiracy instigating the war, slew the Jensaarai Saarai-kaar Nikkos Tyris and his two strongest followers. When A’luna arrived the Jensaarai were already in hiding, but it didn’t take her long to track them down and find out what had happened. Under a new Saarai-kaar, the wife of one of Nejaa’s followers slain by the Jedi, the Jensaarai rebuilt in secret. And under the tutelage of his new mistress, Koros began learing the ways of the force.

Over the next four years Koros’ days were filled with exercise, and combat drills. His nights, filled with study and meditation. Koros’ mastery of the force grew rapidly, as did his adoration for A’luna whom he thought of as his mother as much as his teacher. A’luna too began to think of her apprentice as a son, having no children of her own, and without the Jedi’s forbiddance of attachment or the Sith’s loathing of love their mother/son relationship was allowed within the Jensarrai order.

Then the news came, the Clone Wars were over, and the newly established Galactic Empire had all but eradicated the evil Jedi order which had nearly wiped out the Jensarrai. The Jensarrai held a celebration in honor of the new Empire, and the end of their order’s hiding. Soon after, the Saarai-kaar sent her own son as a representative to the Empire with an offer to help the Empire hunt down the remaining Jedi. The Emperor’s apprentice, Darth Vader, sensing only good from the Jensarrai boy, struck down the Saarai-kaar’s son. The Emperor then sent his inquisitors to eradicate the Jensarrai on Susevfi, and again the Jensarrai were forced into hiding. The Empire however, were far more thorough in their hunt of the Jensarrai than the Jedi were. Many Jensarrai died during the assault by the Sith, and those who managed to survive the assault were either forced to hide deep underground, or to flee the system.

A’luna and Koros were among those Jensarrai who fled after the Empire’s initial assault, believing Susevfi to be lost. A’luna continued Koros’ training on the run, the two taking odd jobs to earn enough money to eat and keep moving. For nearly three years the two wayward Jensarrai managed to keep off of the Empire’s radar, with only a few close calls. They found themselves on Bothawui, the planet had only a token Imperial presence, and A’luna along with her adopted son was able to earn a decent living among the Bothans. Unfortunately for the two Jensarrai fate conspired against them. During one of Koros’ odd jobs the Zabrak ran across a large crowd gathering around a tall building. Twelve stories up a young Bothan girl had fallen out of her window and now precariously hung by one hand from its sill. A rescue team had run up to save the child, but before they could reach her, her hand slipped and she plummeted to the ground. Koros, without thinking, used his force abilities to catch the falling child and save her from an untimely death. The crowd’s reaction was mixed, some cheering immediately, others were too shocked to make any noise at all, and still others murmured amongst one another. Koros, realizing he had just blown his cover immediately ran home.

When he arrived at home A’luna had already heard what had happened and was in the process of liquidating their possessions to afford two tickets out of the system. They bought two tickets to Trinity Station, with enough money left over to barter passage from there to the outer rim. Soon after the two boarded the transport they felt a disturbance in the force. A strong darkside presence was making its way to the transport. Koros suggested that they go up to the cabin and force the captain to take off early to escape what was no doubt an Imperial agent. A’luna shook her head, knowing that if the Empire suspected a Jedi was aboard the ship they would capture it once it took off, or simply shoot it down to ensure no Jedi escaped. She knew that the only way to save her apprentice…her son, was to give their pursuer what he wanted. Smiling to Koros, A’luna told him how proud she was of him, and just as he realized what she was planning, A’luna used a force assisted punch to the stomach to knock him unconscious.

When he awoke a few minutes later the ship had begun its ascent through the atmosphere. Koros could sense his mistress battling their unknown pursuer, he could also sense that she was greatly outmatched. Koros sprang out of his cabin and ran towards the cockpit with the intention of making the pilot turn the ship around. He nearly reached the front of the transport when he fell to his knees in agony, feeling the woman he knew as his mother struck down on the planet below. Standing up in shocked disbelief Koros managed enough strength to return to his cabin before he collapsed in tears, and by the time the ship docked at Trinity Station the young Zabrak felt he had no more tears in his body to shed. He disembarked the transport with an almost zombie like shuffle as he made his way to the ticket counter. Looking mindlessly at the assorted destinations Koros tried to plan his next move. He tried to think about where A’luna would have chosen to run next.

No.

Koros decided he was through with running. He had heard murmurs of rebellion on a number of the planets he had visited these past three years. He would find a group of like minded individuals, he would get stronger, and he would make the Empire pay for taking away the only family he’s ever known.
