New Jedi Order backstory primer
____________________________________
-How did you discover your force sensitivity?
Khareem always had a knack for securing deals in his favour, even from a young age. What he thought to be natural skill and genius on his part was shown to be the influence of the Force after he tried to swindle a member of the New Jedi Order in passing on Pantora. The nature of his gifts was then explained to him, and an invitation to Yavin IV freely extended.
-Describe a moment where you fell prey to your moral weakness that still haunts you.
Although the native Talz were initially tolerant of Khareem’s operation on their home planet, they eventually decided he had overstayed his welcome. It began with mounted warriors keeping an eye on his workers from afar. Then they started harassing the miners. When they took to raiding outbound ore shipments, Khareem decided he'd had enough. He hired a band of mercenaries to kill the natives’ mounts and torch their chieftain’s hut.
No lives were lost, and operations could resume unhindered.
This was nothing short of an excellent business decision : you can't give these people an inch or they'll take a mile... right ? This bit of wisdom, once a cornerstone of Khareem's philosophy, has been shaken loose by the teachings of the Jedi. Ainlo, emboldened by Khareem's example, took things much further. He entered into armed skirmishes with the Talz and even posted death marks on all of their leaders and warriors. What was only ever intended to be a show of force has devolved into open warfare. Khareem never wanted to kill anyone, he just wanted to get rich ! Yet his actions can be directly traced to a catastrophic death toll.
Ever since Khareem's arrival at the Praxeum, late night arguments over comlink have become a fixture of the hallowed halls. Students and masters alike are now familiar with his repeated pleadings to end hostilities and pack up from Orto Plutonia. They seem to be falling on deaf ears...
