So years and years ago, I'd wanted to make a star wars OC, had brainstormed many different possibilities, and I had settled on a few consistent details, so here he is. I've finally gotten around to drawing the bugger. :D

Meet Orden Brey. A reptilian species not unlike the trandotians, though unlike the trandotians, they have tails, and a particular fondness for tree top lifestyles, as their home planet's forests are tangles of branches and trunks that ark and curve in a network that results in very elaborate webs of tree branches to navigate through. As such, their legs are particularly strong, enabling them to leap great heights with relative ease.

Orden Brey's mother was a Jedi during the height of the Order before it's fall, and when Order 66 was executed, his mother was one of few that escaped, taking refuge posing as a civilian to escape the eyes of the Empire. She eventually had a child, despite the jedi order forbidding it, the order was gone, and she couldn't bring herself to follow the order's code to the letter when she settled with another of her species, who had been working as a scrap salvager. 5 years after the rise of the empire, Orden was born. And he was discovered to be force sensitive like his mother, so in secret, she taught him a few of the basics that she knew that he would need. when he was 8 years old, the Imperial Inquisition arrived. Purge Troopers scoured the streets that Orden's family lived, gathering civilians as they weren't sure who was the suspected jedi when an anonymous tip had been sent to the empire.

Rather than bringing Orden to the round up, She sent Orden away with an automated shipment that was leaving the planet just as the inquisition arrived. as they didn't detect his life signs due to Orden's mother putting him under a coma like trance with the force. slowing his body's functions until he would have been considered dead. her final good bye leaving him with the broken halves of the kyber crystal from her own lightsaber, bound together by Hayshian Smelt braided wire to form a pendant. broken during her own escape from order 66, and a holocron, the same one that she kept with her that had the message to stay away from the jedi temple. along with it, she had infused the holocron with instructions and as much of her own jedi knowledge into the cube, so that it could teach him everything he needed to learn to survive. She was never heard from again after the Inquisitors rounded her up with the other citizens, leaving Orden to wake up mid transit with the salvage in the autonimously flying freighter. After realizing he can't go back, he hijacked the automated navigator and took the ship for himself. living life as a salvage dealer ever since.

---------------------------------------

on the second page, is the Freighter that was originally sent for an automated delivery to take cargo away to meet up with a small convoy to take salvage. Of course, when the ship met up with the convoy, the lead ship would discover that it wasn't automated any more, and instead being piloted by young Orden Brey. Deciding to rather not question it, the ship lead let him join the convoy to sell their loads of cargo, and Orden assumed ownership of the Hammerhead freighter.

Over the years, Orden would salvage many things from different broken down or crashed ships. taking turret guns that still functioned and fixing them to parts of the ship that he felt needed a little more protection. making for a rather well armed ship for a freighter of it's size. Inside though, he had to makeshift his own bedroom, as the freighter hadn't intended to have a person living in it as their permanent home. But lucky for him, he found an imperial star destroyer that had been too damaged and crash landed, and when inspecting the insides, he'd not only found plenty of meal rations that he stocked up on, but he had also discovered that the captain's quarters had gone untouched. taking the bed and anything else he was able to rummage back to his ship.

Fortunately for Orden, his training he was able to have received from his mother let him have freedom to self teach after he acquired the ship to salvage on his own. Using the force to lift and move heavy salvage and scrap without the need of heavy gear or tractor beam lifts. Though he has to be careful. He'd gotten rather good at using his force senses to feel for and detect droids. Enabling him to feel for when an imperial probe droid was near so he could act natural.

the hull of his ship also consisted extencibly of patchwork panels, due to how old the ship was, and ontop of those panels, orden was able to fashion a way to attach the solar panel wings from tie fighters onto the hull of his ship. rather than using them as wings, the panels were laid flush against the hull of his ship, and uses them as an auxiliary back up power to charge the batteries and systems in his ship. as well as a supplementary system to power the ship engines, reducing fuel usage and greatly increasing his ship's off planet longevity without needing to expand the fuel capacity.
