Dexter Thermalsting

(2011) Dexter Thermalsting was born on Dantooine in 23 BBY. He was brought up in a lower income house and learned early on to despised all foreign occupiers of his planet. In his early years he watched as his father, mother and one of his brothers get gunned down in the streets by B1 battledroids. Orphaning him and his Brother Trask Spacetroph. Thus began his extreme hatred for the Separatist Alliance. Trask and Dexter enlisted in a local militia and organized raids upon military targets. It is estimated that Dexter accumulated almost 100 confirmed destruction of B1s and about 50 B2s. He then learned of the Republic's support and their intention of landing troopers within his area, he became furious. Dexter told his fellow militia on his plan to shoot down an LAAT, but unknowingly in this ship was carrying someone who would grow close to him.

Fighting on Dantooine
(Mid 2011) Dexter was forced to fight along clone troopers and was supplied a DC-15a. Though, through many hardships he formed an unlikely friendship with a trooper named "CT-786" Better known as Jax. Jax and Dexter had seen many battles with one another. What former hatred and anger for the clone troopers was soon turned to comradery and sympathy. Eventually the fighting had weathered the Separatist to a much smaller force, this caused one final gamble. All militia and Republic forces were ordered to engage this force of about 3,000 b1s, 1000 b2s and about 50 bx super commandos. At first the final battle was going good for the republic, then it became a polar opposite. Dexter's militia and Jax's squad, Theta company were baring the brunt of the assault. Eventually it was only Jax and Dexter fighting a whole army. Dexter got shot in the arm, causing him to collapse in pain. This enraged Jax, who picked up his rotary cannon, cutting down several droids, but he was overwhelmed. The last thing Dexter saw of Jax was several rounds of blaster fire cutting into him. Dexter them picked up a thermal detonator and sprinted towards the droids. The detonation knocked Dexter out cold. When Dexter awoke he saw his comrades lying, all lifeless. He saw Jax Slumped against a barricade, this gave Dexter hope. But as he approached and touched his shoulder, Jax fell down. Dexter then took his armor, knowing the Separatist were defeated, Dexter made it his goal to kill as many Separatist as he could.

Gold Legion
In his earlier years(Late 2011-2012), Dexter had preferred to be a lone wolf, but it changed when he was approached by Legendary Spire. He told Dexter of Gold Legion and his many opportunities. Dexter became part of the mercenary group. Though, he stuck out of the group as many preferred to wear ancient Mandalorean Armor, he wore phase one clone trooper armor that he customized with "JAX" inscribed on his breast plate. Gold Legion often got into scuffles with many other Merc gangs and republic squadrons. This ultimately lead to the downfall of Gold Legion. Gold Legion's ship, it's place of operations, was attacked by several Venator Star Destroyers and mercenary craft. Eventually the ship was split it in two, sucking out many mercs, galatic marines and gold legion members. Dexter made his way to a LAAT within the ships hanger bay, named ''Strider. ''Legendary Spire dismissed the group and accepted the terms of surrender. But instead of joining the remaining mercenaries on the LAATs he vowed to go down with his ship. Spire was last seen climbing into his captains chair and then sending one final message

"''May god be on your side my brothers!" ''-Legendary Spire moments before death.

The ship then exploded taking Spire and his trophies of war with him.

Post Gold Legion
Known as Dexter's finding, was a period of timing of when Dexter mourned the loss of his friends and became a hired merc. (mid 2012) By now he had to abandon Jax's armor and forged his own. It was during this time that Dexter was involved in the many conflicts with Sith clans. Dexter heard of the many clans in the far reaches of space, never did he expect that he would be drawn into it. He was contacted by his brother, Trask, who had become an acolyte of a Sith warrior after abandoning the republic. He asked Dexter if he could assist them. Dexter showed wearing his crimson armor. His icy blue visor hid his fear. The truth is, Dexter heard of the savagery of the Sith, how'd they off anyone who crossed them wrong. Trask had to reassure him that these Sith only wished to destroy each other. Dexter never liked the Sith, but he could be bought. For a price. Dexter decimated many of the slave-warriors that the clans often used. It was the other Mercs he once fought with. He made a pact not to engage them. But they were cut down by a Sith Warrior on their side. She moved quick and was merciless. Dexter raised his dark blade, and asked who this person was. It was revealed that this person was the famous, or infamous Shira Valdiwar. She taunted Dexter, causing him to charge her, Shira Disarmed him and threw his face against the pillars of the Sith Temple. Dexter threw a punch, only for her to dislocate his elbow. She then kicked him in the head causing his helmet to fly into lava. Staring at her as she blew a final punch into his face, knocking him cold. When Dexter awoke he felt the scar that formed across his face. He groaned and returned home. He decided to not sell his services for a while as he researched his new foe. He was able to travel freely through Courasant due to Jax's armor. But he was approached by a clone commander.

Denal Supleo's (been to long to actually remember it.) / Shadowtech Legion
(Late 2012-Early 2013) Denal approached Dexter in his phase one armor, calling out Jax, even though he was long gone. Dexter tried his best accent and it worked. Denal commented on how they all thought that he perished on Dantooine, he didn't have the heart to tell him that he was dead. Denal escorted him back to a LAAT, an image of a Twi'lek on it. Dexter rolled his eyes under his helmet. Denal took him to their base, where he met his new squad, they all had markings of the 501st. He could only swallow hard. He got settled in, and soon he was on his first mission.

Second Battle of Geonosis
When the 212th and 501st were called upon to engage geonosians, Dexter was nervous, he was scared the clones would find him out and he would be put to death. He got teased by CT-224, aka Arrow, he kept asking what was wrong and how it'd be just like the simulations. Just as Dexter was about to answer, the blast doors opened up, he looked out to see flak and burning LAATs. Thankfully, the LAAT evaded several explosions and landed softly. Denal quickly got his men in order and briefed us on the new order. Due to many gunships being downed, Dexter's squad had to move and rescue any survivors of crash sites. They moved out and came immediately came under fire. Shadowtech lost over 50% of their numbers in one battle, leaving only a few shines, Arrow, Denal, and Dexter. if that couldn't get worse, Dexter was attacked by a Drone, knocking off his helmet, there was no hiding his identity now. Arrow and Denal got the drone off and then turned their sights on him, Denal landed a left hook to his jaw, knocking him out. When Dexter awoke he found him self onboard a troop carrier. Denal began questioning him, Dexter came through and told him everything.
