Zagulo was born on his parents’ ship, the Hydian Express, a passenger/cargo ship that plied the Hydian Way. A very large bulk freighter with ample passenger and cargo space, the Hydian Express was highly profitable. While some species may find raising a child on a commercial starship to be somewhat concerning, it allowed Zagulo’s parents to show him just how much was out there. By the time he reached adolescence, he’d visited more worlds than most children in the galaxy, seen an even wider variety of species, and aspired to see even more - or perhaps to discover more. You see, Zagulo’s bedtime stories weren’t just fantastical tales of heroism - they were tales of the family history, of a long line of hyperspace explorers that began with Banu Hydia, for whom the very hyperspace route his parents traveled was named. His family history was one that had embraced galactic travel and exploration, while never looking back. Zagulo dreamed of perhaps, one day, being just like them, mapping new hyperspace routes and finding new planets. Of course, if he was ever going to do that, he needed to learn how to fly a ship, plot a hyperspace course, and learn everything else that went into interstellar travel. Duros have a natural feel for piloting, and Zagulo was no exception. Once his parents began teaching him how to fly at 13, he quickly picked up on the basics and moved to more advanced maneuvers. By the time he was 14, he had begun calculating short-range hyperspace jumps. By the time he was 17, he was taking a regular shift piloting the Hydian Express - with supervision, of course. It was quite obvious that, when it came to starships, Zagulo was a natural prodigy, even among the Duros people. Four years later, Zagulo decided it was time to forge his own path, and left the Hydian Express to join a 3-year Corporate Sector mapping expedition down the Tingel Arm of the galaxy, looking for new planets to mine resources from. Since the mission involved gathering a great deal of information about planets and assessing them for resources, the expedition purchased a refurbished GY-I Information Analysis Droid they called "Gyro" to help with the analysis. Though not a particularly challenging task - Wild Space wasn’t as challenging the Unknown Regions - it still gave him a chance to flex his navigational muscles as part of a crew. While on the expedition, they had little contact with the Corporate Sector Authority, and so were unaware of the rise of a new Sith Empire that their employers had submitted to. Upon their return, they found a vastly changed galaxy, with a Sith Empire battling the Galactic Republic and a mistrusted Jedi Order. Accepting their payment from the Authority, the mapping crew decided to turn to smuggling weapons and supplies from Republic space to resistance groups in Sith space, as well as refugees and potential fugitives out of Sith space. Gyro's tasks shifted from analyzing planetary data to analyzing rumors of refugees and resistance groups to contact and transport. It was on one such run disaster nearly claimed them. A Jedi named Talsae Li had become trapped behind Sith lines on Nar Shaddaa, and the crew was hired to transport him back to Republic space. However, a couple of crew members secretly conspired to turn the Jedi over to the Sith in exchange for a significant bounty. They tipped the Sith off to the route they were going to transport the Jedi over, and the Sith launched an ambush, opening fire almost immediately. Desperately, Zagulo threw the ship into evasive maneuvers. At the same time, the crew members who wanted to turn the Jedi over to the Sith attempted to seize control of the ship to surrender to the Sith. The resulting fight on the ship was chaotic, and a stray blaster bolt hit the navicomputer. With the navicomputer destroyed, Zagulo had to manually calculate a hyperspace course under Sith fire. He finished just as their shields collapsed and pulled the controls to enter hyperspace, even as a laser bolt struck the ship, blowing open a hole to vacuum. Emergency bulkheads slammed into place to prevent the loss of oxygen, but only after most of the crew had been sucked out into space. The only people left on the ship were Zagulo and Talsae Li, as well as Gyro, who had been in the cockpit with Zagulo. Once the damaged ship emerged back into Republic space in the Naboo system, Zagulo managed to land the vessel. Bidding farewell to Talsae - and not asking where she was going - he sold the ship for scrap, changed Gyro's ownership record to him, and caught a transport away, eventually ending up at a casino. Enjoying a nice game of sabaac every now and then, he decided to play a few hands, and eventually found himself sitting at a very high-stakes table with one Calypso Calrissian. The stakes were quite high, and Zagulo thought he had gotten the upper hand - with the kind of windfall that would let him get his own ship. Unfortunately, he had only a 22, while Calypso got a pure sabaac. It was quite the financial setback, and left him unsure of how to proceed. He’d made conversation with some of the other players, and he’d related some of his history to Calypso. After the game, she offered to hire him to help modify a brand new starship she’d won into a mobile, luxury casino, as well as to help pilot it while she was hosting games. With no other prospects, he accepted, and has found the work to be better than he’d initially thought. He got to live on the ship, she paid him out of some of the casino’s winnings. It wasn’t a bad job, but he definitely felt like he needed to do something more fitting of his skills. He had a little bit of wanderlust, and he started feeling like he needed to get that out of his system soon. Of course, a relatively simple mapping expedition had turned into a smuggling operation relatively quickly. The Calrissian name was quite well-known, after all, and excitement did seem to follow it…
