Biography:
Erik Jace is a member of the well-known Jace Family – the controlling party behind the hugely successful bacta mogul corporation, Zaltin Corporation. As one half of the Thyferran Bacta Cartel, Zaltin helps control the flow and supply of more than 99% of the bacta industry across the entire galaxy. And since this economic power is what keeps the planet Thyferra alive, this has given the Jace family tremendous political influence both on their homeworld, and in the larger governing bodies of the galaxy.
Erik chose to go into politics at a young age, and used his family’s influence to land him employment as part of the Thyferran representatives to the Galactic Senate. It did not take many years before Erik had distinguished himself in this capacity, eventually rising to hold an actual seat in the Galactic Senate, as one of only 4 representatives to Thyferra.
Although Erik had no direct dealings in the matter, he was aware that certain parties within Zaltin Corp had been offering aid to the growing Rebellion in recent years. When Emperor Palpatine disbanded the Senate, claiming that it had been infiltrated by rebels, Erik felt his connection to Zaltin put his life in danger, and fled. During his attempted escape, he was confronted by Stormtroopers that attempted to detain him, claiming that his flight was evidence of his guilt.
In that moment, a power rose up within Erik that he’d been previously unaware of. The Stormtrooper squad were struck dead by an explosion of lighting-like power emanating from Erik’s body, as he simultaneously found himself becoming aware of the world around him in an entirely new way. His newfound ability to Sense enemies allowed him to easily complete his escape, and flee from Coruscant.
Erik realized that as a fugitive he would be hopelessly outmaneuvered if he continued to work alone, and so decided to contact the Rebellion and offer his services. After all, he was already a suspected traitor… he may as well live up to the stories people were telling about him.
