Legend

this man was a veteran of the Clone Wars, having served the Confederacy of Independent Systems during many of the most intense battles, including the First Battle of Coruscant. After the war ended, though, he pursued an independent career as a spacer, and eventually became a smuggler. The pay was good, but Nas preferred the thrill of taking risks and escaping Imperial patrols. However, he discovered that he wasn't satisfied, and often felt that dying in an escape might be the ultimate thrill. His maudlin thoughts were stifled during the height of the Galactic Civil War, when he was intercepted on a smuggling run by Darth Vader himself. Vader managed to shoot him down, and when Ghent survived a crashlanding on a remote world, Vader made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Vader offered Ghent the chance to train an elite squad of Imperial starfighter pilots. Ghent was then stationed aboard the Crucible, where he earned the wrath of Commander Dorin Millavec, who chafed at having a civilian training pilots aboard his ship. For his own part, Ghent was initially noncommital, until Imperial pilots from the Crucible tried to shoot him down. Ghent realized what was happening, and vowed to make Millavec pay for his actions. Millavec claimed that Vader had ordered the shooting, as part of Ghent's "training." Ghent refused to accept the explanation, and vowed to expose Millavec's true motives.
