Though Mirial chose to join the Separatists at the start of the crisis, many Mirialans still remained sympathetic towards the Jedi, largely due to the connection between traditional Mirialan spirituality and the light side of the force. Aralu was raised in one such family, and was regaled with tales of heroic Jedi warriors saving people. At the outbreak of the Clone Wars, he had been working as a freighter pilot for some time, but fled to Republic space once news of the Battle of Geonosis reached Mirial, eager to help the Jedi he had heard so much about. Initially aiming to become an infantry officer, his preexisting piloting experience in addition to his natural aptitude for flying caused Aralu to quickly be placed in a starfighter pilot training program. Upon graduation, he was assigned to the 7th Sector Army.

Jedi: Between the stories he was told as a child and his own religious beliefs, Aralu deeply respects and admires the Jedi, and joined Republic forces for the sole purpose of aiding them in their struggle. So long as the Jedi are around, he thinks, it’s worth continuing to give the Republic a shot.

Space Superiority: As a starfighter pilot, Aralu has promised himself that so long as he draws breath, he will not allow the CIS to break any fleet he is a part of.

A 22 year old Mirialan, Aralu has the green skin are ritual tattoos typical of his people. His hair is black, short, and straight, and his body is lean. He stands at 175cm tall.
