Background: Corr was born on the planet Terros, in the Outer Rim. His
parents were wealthy, because of his mother's practice as a doctor and
his father's reputation as a zoologist. Corr's mother had been partially
trained as a Jedi Knight, and both his mother and his father were
outspoken supporters of the Rebellion. When he was six years old his
mother was killed by Imperial stormtroopers, and his father was captured
and thrown into an Imperial Dungeon Ship.
He and his older sister escaped, however, taking several credit sticks
with them, and were sheltered by the Terrosian resistance. Corr trained
himself to master many different types of combat. It was during this time
that he met the ancient Jedi Master Karr Mallux. Karr Mallux took Corr's
sister and trained her to be a Jedi.
At age twelve, after many exploits, Corr's whole life changed. Using his
skills as a fighter, he and his friends helped two visitors to the planet
escape an Imperial squad of stormtroopers. These two visitors turned out
to be none other than Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. Upon hearing their
stories of the Rebellion, Corr decided to stow away on their ship, the
Millenium Falcon. When he was discovered, he was briefly placed in the
care of a droid duo known as C-3PO and R2-D2.
He soon showed an aptitude for starship piloting, and was placed on a
Rebel training planet. He trained there for nearly two years. Corr
distinguished himself so much that he was placed in command of a squadron
of other talented young pilots.
During their first mission, Corr was shot down in an ambush, and had to
find his own way back to the Alliance's base on Hoth. Corr entered a
cantina on the planet's main spaceport to find transportation. Instead,
he found a Twi'lek slave girl, Natalya Derrosk, being brutally beaten. In
the short brawl that followed, Corr bested three opponents, including a
local gang leader. This was to earn him the lasting enmity of the entire
gang, though Corr had no idea how much trouble they would cause him
later.
Corr purchased Natalya, with the intention of setting her free. Matters
were complicated, however, when Natalya declared a life debt to him. Corr
let her stay with him only after she saved him from the angry gang
leader, Banen Dorssk.
After finding transportation off-planet, Corr participated in the Battle
of Hoth, destroying a walker. Unfortunately, the hanger containing the
squadron's starfighters was destroyed during the battle. One of the
pilots owned a ship, however, and was able to transport them off-planet.
The squadron took refuge on Terros, where Corr met Tav Servyn, an Aruzan
girl. One of Corr's squadron mates, a girl who had been trained in the
Force, used the power Affect Mind to rescue Tav from a squad of Imperial
stormtroopers with a warrant for her arrest. Unfortunately, Corr's
squadron, and a few local friends, was kidnapped by the Dark Knight
Organization. Natalya, Corr, and Corr's friend Skeeter escaped, however,
and set out to rescue their friends. They met up with Karr Mallux, and
Corr's sister Crystal. They joined the small band, and set out across the
wastelands of Terros.
After an incident that nearly killed Corr and wounded Crystal, the group
split up, with Skeeter, Karr, and Crystal going back to get medical
treatment for Crystal. Karr left Corr his journal, and told him to study
the ways of the Force during the journey. When they arrived at the Dark
Knight's Citadel, Lord Targen, the leader of the Dark Knight
Organization, confronted them. Corr asked to face one of Targen's Knights
in one-on-one combat, known as a Battle of Honor. He was pitted against a
Dark Jedi known as Sern Drea, an excellent fighter and a former
acquaintance of Corr's. In the ferocious battle that followed, Corr was
wounded many times by his opponent's Sith sword. In a last desperate try,
Corr managed to disarm his opponent.
Instead of killing her, as would have been customary, Corr spared Drea's
life, and Lord Targen released Corr's friends. Unfortunately, the Sith
sword had been tainted with poison, and had it not been for Natalya's
diligence and Corr's friend Slicer's knowledge of the natural healing
agents on Terros, Corr would have died.
Shortly thereafter, Corr and the rest of Rascal Squadron rejoined the
Alliance, and took part in the Battle of Endor. Corr flew into the
superstructure of the Death Star, along with Natalya and Tycho Celchu.
The three were ordered back to the surface in an attempt to draw off
enemy fighters.
Corr was almost shot down by an Imperial TIE Advanced, but Evan Canta, an
Imperial pilot who chose this time to defect, shot down the TIE with a
hijacked Skipray Blastboat. After the battle, Evan chose to join Rascal
Squadron as they returned to liberate Terros. Corr taught the Terrosian
warriors how to combat walkers, lay ambushes, and operate the new
weaponry and ships being purchased by the Terrosian resistance. Several
students showed strength in the Force. Crystal and Karr taught these in
the ways of the Force.
During this time, Corr uncovered an ancient stone with inscriptions that
told of a great artifact for the Jedi. Corr set out to find this
artifact, not knowing he was racing against one of Targen's Knights, a
man by the name of Sern Krael. In a cave deep beneath Terros' surface,
Corr discovered two Holocrons. The inscriptions on the cave walls noted
that one Holocron was a fake, and would kill anyone who touched it.
However, the writings neglected to mention which one. Corr chose the
right one, but it set off a trap that caused the cave to collapse.
Corr escaped just in time, leaving Krael buried underground. Upon
accessing the Holocron, Corr discovered that a Jedi who had compiled much
information on the different ways that Jedi used the Force had made it.
Corr used this Holocron to train himself and Natalya, who had shown a
small degree of Force attunement. Before she could gain strength,
however, Lord Targen kidnapped her to use as a bargaining chip; her life
for the Holocron. Corr set out to rescue her, borrowing the Sweet Dream,
Mak Dreytila's ship. Corr was successful, not only in rescuing Natalya,
but in turning Sern Drea back to the Light Side of the Force. She escaped
with them, and studied under Karr for a long time. During this time, one
of the groups of Jedi trainees, known as the Freak Squad for its
diversity of beings, began to show promise as Jedi. Corr continued to
train, but noticed a puzzling manifestation of the Force in Natalya. She
displayed almost no ability to manipulate the physical world around her,
but when it came to "mind tricks" even Karr Mallux had to admit she was a
natural. She focused her studies on making illusions of things that were
not there. Finally, the day came when the Imperials made their move. They
simultaneously sent three different armies to converge on the Terrosian
resistance's base. They also sent three Victory-class destroyers to
bombard Terros' main cities, as a warning to all rebels in the sector.
Corr daringly ordered the Terrosian army split into three sections: Two
were mainline troops, and the third was composed of all the Jedi
students. He also ordered the Terrosian space fleet to be split in half,
with one half providing air cover, and the other to destroy the
Imperials. The first Imperial army had several of Lord Targen's Dark Jedi
in it. This army was completely wiped out by the heroism of the Freak
Squad. The Squad destroyed a natural dam, which released tons of water
that annihilated the entire Imperial army. The Jedi army joined up with
one of the mainline armies, to destroy another one of the Imperial
armies. By this time, the destroyers were launching TIEs to help in the
ground battle. The Terrosian air cover, led by Marii Nevretola, knocked
most of these out of the fight. Unfortunately, the battle was not going
as well in space. Corr had already lost several fighters. When Lord
Targen revealed a fleet of ships that had been cloaked by the Force, it
seemed as if the Terrosian fleet was done for. Help came from an
unexpected source. Rogue Squadron appeared, led by Luke Skywalker. And
not far behind was the Millenium Falcon and a Mon Calamari cruiser. It
seemed that Natalya had managed to contact Luke through the Force,
telling him of their plight. Luke, in turn, asked permission to lead
Rogue Squadron in a rescue attempt. A Mon Calamari cruiser was sent by
Admiral Ackbar, as an escort, and when Han Solo heard the news, he came
along, too; perhaps feeling he "owed" Corr for rescuing him and Luke. At
any rate, the tide soon turned. A tense point occurred when an Imperial
Dungeon Ship moved in between the Imperials and the Rebels. It called for
a cease-fire, because it was carrying prisoners. When it began to fire on
Alliance vessels, however, Corr was given no choice but to destroy it.
The battle was soon over, and Corr settled down to his Jedi studies. He
celebrated his seventeenth birthday in relative peace, believing the Dark
Knight threat had been vanquished. Unfortunately, Lord Targen escaped the
devastating battle, and vowed revenge. He kidnapped Natalya again, this
time requesting Corr's life in return. Corr, knowing his friends would
try to stop him, left in the dead of night. When he arrived at Lord
Targen's new hideout, he was brought before Lord Targen, who revealed
that he actually planned to kill them both. Corr's friends had discovered
his absence, however, and found him just in time. The Freak Squad had
decimated the outer defenses, but when they broke into the room where
Lord Targen was holding his "meeting" with Corr, Targen fled to a higher
room. Corr followed him up, and discovered Natalya chained to the wall.
Targen revealed his most potent abilities in the battle that followed,
including a Force enhancement crystal, which amplified the Force
capabilities of any being within ten meters. The resulting power boost
proved too strong for Corr, who was knocked unconscious by an especially
hard blow from Targen. When Targen raised his saber to slice Corr in
half, Natalya used the Force to call Corr's lightsaber to her. She cut
herself free, and leaped to Corr's defense. She fought viciously to
protect Corr, but she could not beat Targen. However, the conflicting
Force energies caused the crystal to explode. The explosion killed
Targen, and slammed Natalya against a wall. Before Targen died, he
revealed one shattering piece of news: Corr's father had been on the
Dungeon Ship Corr had ordered destroyed. Natalya kept this from Corr for
a long time. When Corr went through Targen's computer records, he
discovered that Natalya's parents were still alive, and that Natalya had
been stolen from them at an early age. Corr decided that it would be best
if Natalya went to live with her parents. He first assured himself that
she would be safe there. Before Natalya left, she told Corr about his
father. Soon after she left, Corr faked his own death to be able to
escape for a while, and think things out. He got himself a job working as
a bounty hunter named Balos for Dalla the Hutt. Dalla's base of
operations was on Nar Shadda, where Corr knew several Rebel operatives.
Corr then started sending information on Dalla's criminal activities to
the New Republic. After Corr worked with Dalla for four years, one of
Dalla's associates presented Dalla with a gift: Natalya Derrosk! It
appeared that when she heard of Corr's supposed death, Natalya was very
upset, and went to live by herself. Marauding slavers subsequently
captured her. When she tried to bite the Hutt, Dalla "awarded" her to his
favorite bounty hunter: Balos! The Hutt sent her to Balos' room. When she
was taken there, "Balos" first gave her a sheet so she could cover
herself more modestly, as she had been dressed in the costume of a
dancer. Then, Corr revealed himself by removing his ever-present helmet.
Natalya's first reaction was to faint. When she revived, she wanted to
know just exactly what had happened to Corr. He explained. She told him
what had happened to her. She then told him how she'd felt about his
disappearance. Corr and Natalya realized just how much they really cared
for each other. They both knew, however, that before they could make any
plans about marriage, they'd have to escape from Dalla's fortress. Corr's
cover was blown, and he had to steal a swoop to escape with Natalya. They
left Nar Shadda with Dalla's forces right on their tail. They fled back
to Ryloth. Corr was still discouraged over the death of his father by his
own hand, and saw everything he'd done as a failure. A talk with
Natalya's father showed him how wrong he was. In the meantime, Natalya
had called up the Freak Squad, though by now people were calling them the
Fantastic Five for their incredible exploits. She knew it'd be just a
matter of time before Dalla arrived, and she wanted a suitable reception
committee for him. When they arrived, she and Corr briefed them on their
job. When Dalla's forces arrived, it seemed the Derrosk household was
totally empty. This was an illusion created by Natalya, and it worked.
When the Hutt's forces burst into the house, the Jedi surrounded them.
They realized they had no chance, and gave up with out a fight. Corr had
already told New Republic forces where to find Dalla, and they arrested
the Hutt, and any of his entourage they could find. Corr and Natalya were
finally able to come out of hiding, and they instantly asked Natalya's
parents if they could marry. Natalya's parents gave their consent. Corr
and Natalya's marriage was a widely celebrated event, and beings from
several different planets attended.

My apologies for the length of the post.

Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
