Background
Nomund Jones Kor was born in 37 BBY on the planet of Pamarthe. Nomund lived on his family estate in a home on on the shore of one of Pamarthe's main islands, and enjoyed running up and down the piers as a young boy. He learned how to sail a boat and fly a starship at a very young age as all Pamarthen children did. When he turned 18 in 19 BBY, his warrior spirit and crave for adventure led him into enlisting into the Imperial Military. As a soldier in the Imperial Army, Nomund fought against remaining holdouts of Separatists in the Outer Rim from the Clone Wars. Eventually, he enlisted into the Imperial Flight Academy after his deployment and trained as the top of his class, befriending many of his fellow students. Sometime after being a TIE Pilot for many years, in 14 BBY he suffered a loss that crippled and sent his starfighter plummeting into a nearby planet. After the conflict in space was over, the Empire jumped into hyperspace out of the system and left him marooned, an act he was personally offended by. Abandoned by his comrades and forced to find himself a way offworld, he returned to his home planet Pamarthe. Since then, he has inherited a Corellian YT-2000 called "The Ark" which once belonged to his father, a former famed racer and mechanic. On Pamarthe he began taking on cargo and passengers as a freighter pilot to gather just enough credits to modify his freighter himself and equip it sufficiently before making a name for himself in the Outer Rim as a skilled pilot and a gunslinger. Nomund operated in the Outer Rim for 6 years smuggling goods, working as a hired gun both in space and on solid ground, and hunting bounties while simultaneously attempting to hide from his past in the Empire.

He is most recently known for his ruthless piracy, and is without a doubt someone to be feared, but is more so famous for his smuggling, a skill he boasts a near spotless track record for.
