Sergeant Amos Iakona
Red Squad - MC Valiant
- - -
Species: Human (Naboo)
Homeworld: Naboo
History:
Very protective of his past, Amos tends to avoid sharing information about his background where possible. What is known is that he was born on Naboo, and served at a young age in the Naboo Royal Guard before being drafted into the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. He served as a basic Stormtrooper first as part of the Naboo Garrison, and then later on deployment elsewhere in the galaxy. At some point he managed to get himself on the wrong side of a few senior officers, and was eventually reassigned to Ord Varee where he was relegated to the Garrison Commander's least favourite Scout Trooper unit.
While serving with the Scout Troopers, Sergeant Iakona commanded a four-man Lancer - the same Lancer to which Imperial Academy hopeful Jaden Luka (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?p=271103#post271103) had been assigned as an intern, hoping to gain some prior experience with the Imperial forces that would set him in better stead when he joined the Academy. Amos and Jaden became good friends; when Jaden's father died and their unit commander withdrew his sponsorship of Jaden's application to the Academy, Amos was quick to leap to his defense. Unfortunately, his rather heavy-handed approach saw him given the choice to either resign or face a dishonourable discharge. Amos chose the latter, and joined Jaden aboard his new ship: the Astral Queen.
Amos and Jaden became involved with the Rebel Alliance after their ship fell foul of an Imperial patrol. Fortunately an Alliance vessel was on-hand to assist, and kindly agreed to assist the duo in repairing their ship. After having the situation in the area explained to him, Amos agreed to join the crew of the Valiant, lending his military experience to the SpecForce Red Squad.

Appearences:
Ride of the Valkyries (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18152) - Amos is rescued by the Rebel Alliance, and agrees to serve as part of a SpecForce unit aboard the Cruiser Valiant.

Equipment:
Custom S-5 Heavy Blaster Pistol - A relic from Amos' service on Naboo, his blaster pistol is a heavily customised version of the standard-issue sidearm. It lacks a number of the usual accessories, such as the scope and liquid-cable shooter, but has been modified and balanced to suit Amos' personal style.
Vibrosword - More elegant than a blaster, Amos often carries a Vibrosword for use in close-quarters combat. The blade is balanced and designed to be used one-handed, allowing Amos to wield a blaster pistol in his other hand.
Amos is also known to carry a number of concealed knives.
Astral Queen - A Corellian YT-2000 transport purchased by Jaden Luka with his inheritance from his father, aboard which Amos served as co-pilot and gunner. The ship has lately seen limited use while both individuals perform duties for the Rebel Alliance.
