Background
Jato is a Miralian from his races homeworld of Mirial. Through the clone wars the quality of life on the planet drastically declined. Having grown up on a world formerly known for its rich tradition, fantastic warriors, and pride he has witnessed it's society begin to crumble, and economic hardship passed on to all walks of life.
Jato worked at the spaceport. Often flying orbital tug ships, or atmospheric haulers to load or unload heavy cargo on transports and freighters. He has grown quite skilled at precise mid air maneuvers to dock with these ships, and as a hobby has learned a lot of the ins and outs of various starships that frequented the port.
Struggling to get by on the low wages at the spaceport he found himself getting deeper into debt and was closing in on losing his home. A shady human trader approached him at the spaceport's cantina and offered him a substantial bribe for his help to steal a freighter. Not realizing at the time that the goods on this freighter were ilicit spice, and seduced by the temptation of credits to pay down his debts, Jato agreed to help. After loading the last crate onto the freighter, Jato intentionally left the ship unsecured and deactivated the docking locks before leaving for the night. The ship was stolen mere moments after he left.
Arriving at the cantina again to collect the rest of his reward, he saw his face on the viewscreen and realized he had been played for a fool. Noticing officers asking around the cantina, he took off back toward to docks. There he slipped on board another freighter to hide while he thought. Just as he began to focus his mind, his concentration was shattered by the sound of engines firing -- the ship was taking off. Frantically looking about the cargo hold he saw that the ship was filled with raw materials and dry foodstuff all marked for industrial purposes on Corellia. There was no way out of this, he was headed to Corellia as a stowaway...
Motivation
Since leaving his homeworld, Jato has developed a sense of guilt and fear of attachment. He feels more apt to forge forward, wherever the road may take him, to make his own life and destiny. He is a bit of rogue, and doesn't like relying on others for his own success. He yearns to be his own free person, but by circumstance he is far from forging his own place in the Galaxy...
