Legend

this New Republic Colonel was based on Coruscant during the early years of the New Republic. A native of the planet Shiffrin, he grew up in his father's footsteps, learning a great deal about laws and justice from Kallin Bremen. When Kallin was executed by the local Imperial Moff during a land dispute, Jak fled the planet and ended up on Coveway. He established a life on this new world, but was once again confronted with the atrocities of the Empire. The leadership of a COMPNOR base established near his village decided that the base would be safer without local intervention, and had the entire village executed. Jak was off on a hunting trip when it happened, and returned only to find that his wife and young daughter had been killed. When, by chance, the Alliance sent a team to eliminated the base, Jak gladly offered his services as a strike team leader, showing them how to reach the garrison under cover. From that point onward, Jak pledged himself the Alliance. He rose in rank while aboard the cruiser Starveil, and was eventually placed in charge of security for the planet Coruscant after the planet was returned to New Republic control. During the first wave of Imperial attacks aimed at retaking Coruscant, Bremen commandeered the Messenger and her crew to carry information regarding a fleet rendezvous location off-planet. He hoped to get the message to the fleet quickly, so that Coruscant could be recovered. Bremen accompanied the ship's crew, Taryn Clancy and Del Sato, and helped them avoid Imperial reprisal.
