Commander Tanuk playing it cool as class clown.

Brief Overview

Vor'lx Taruk serves as a Commander aboard the Bravado and leads a flight group known as Mynock Squadron. Although Lx intended to follow in his father's footsteps and design ships, he became a bounty hunter as a result of his father's murder. He now serves the Rebel Alliance in the hope that the Empire can be defeated and he can find his captured teammate, Binkawa.

Early Years

Vor'lx was born on one of the orbiting cities above Duro to Rhanis (father) and Ella (mother) Taruk. Rhanis Taruk was a successful ship designer, and as a result Vor'lx led a privileged life. As a child, Lx always dreamed of designing ships with his father. To prepare for this profession, Lx studied under his father and at a prestigious engineering academy on Duro. During his time at the academy, Lx excelled at his studies. He was on par for graduating at the top of his class. Lx also led an active social life and was considered by many to be a bit of a class clown. Lx never completed his education at the academy because he dropped out two years before graduation due to the death of his father.

Dark Years

Rhanis Taruk was murdered by a drunk Aqualish when Lx was 20 years old. The murder occurred as Rhanis was coming home from work. Rhanis noticed an Aqualish attempting to mug a Duros women, and he tried to interfere. The Aqualish stabbed Rhanis and ran away. Rhanis had already died by the time Lx arrived at the hospital, and this left Lx bitter for several years. The police on Duro told Lx and his mother that there wasn't enough evidence to pursue the murderer, so Lx decided to take matters into his own hand.
