Name: Owecar Pitfenn
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Homeworld: Coruscant
Owecar is a short 5'6" and weighs a little over 150 pounds. His short and relatively sleek stature allows him to fit the smallest of cockpits and weasel his way into the smaller crevices between ships. While on duty, he always wears the standard Republic uniform, with nothing standing out about it other than his rank insignia.
Owecar is always itching to get in a cockpit or fiddle with some tech, so when he’s not doing either, he can be a little ancy. He is jumpy and easily startled when on foot in unfamiliar territory, as he knows his strengths do not lie within fire fights.
His personality changes when he gets behind the controls of a starship, going from anxious to confident. Able to take charge of a squad of fighters or the crew aboard his ship, he calls out orders without a second thought.
In both situations, Owecar is not above making a joke, although the nature of his quips tend to change the more or less confident he is.

- Owercar was issued The Iron Tiss'Shar by the Republic, a Aurek Class Starship implemented with a astromech droid connection interface. He has a payment plan that will eventually have him own the ship.
- He keeps a blaster rifle on his hip for some personal protection.
- He has owned his astromech droid, Essex, since he was 15.
- He owns the several tools required for ship maintenance, as sometimes the things given to him by the Republic can be of "well worn" quality
Companions: His Droid, T7-E6, who he calls Essex.
Starship: The Iron Tiss'Shar is his personal A-Wing, but can also pilot any Republic freighter or similar starship. It depends on his deployment.
Skills and talents, including level of skill.
- Owecar is an ace pilot, haven proven himself in many dog fights in treacherous orbits and the dead of space. He is particularly proud of his actions during the Raid on Obroa-skai, an attempt by the Mandalorians of Serroco to seize the Republic Dominated planet’s massive amount of data files. Owecar greatly influenced the tide of battle in favor of the republic.
- Owecar's time spent as a youth makes him an excellent droid repairsman. He knows the repair procedures of almost every common droid on the market, and can sometimes figure out the mechanics of more exotic droids, provided they aren’t too abstract. However, given an owner’s manual and time, he’ll have the droid fixed up in no time.
- As Owecar works as a team with Essex on repairing and maintaining his starship, and knows the difference between his power damper and power modulator.
Known combat experience, training and weapons training.
While Owecar has trained with a blaster rifle and pistol, he is far from being adept with them. He barely passed the requirements in the firing range (which may have been fudged due to the need of soldiers at the time) and doesn't own a blaster rifle to this day. He keeps a basic blaster pistol at his side at all times, but it acts only as a last resort, were he to be boarded.
Role, specialization and responsibilities pertaining to the subject’s military deployment
Owecar switches between piloting Republic transports or flying Aurek Fighters into small skirmishes when the Republic needs to take care of galactic scum. A respected soldier, he can be trusted with more difficult or confidential missions, if need be.
List and description of known and suspected flaws
Owecar's specialty relies strictly in the sky, and without a ship to fly or a machine to repair, Owecar can offer very little.
Major achievements
Owecar's greatest achievement to date was leading Lima Squadron to take down the Mandalorian cruiser leading the the Raid on Obroa-skai and several supporting starhips along the way.
Major failures
Owecar finished his military training with one of the worst accuracy and blaster proficiencies grades in his class.
Owecar grew up yearning to pilot his own ship in space. His dreams originated from his drifter father, Lawshaw Reieat, whose only stayed with Owecar and his mother, Celmon Pitfenn, when he needed to lay low from his smuggling jobs. When Lawshaw was around, he would tell his son about the adventures and wonders he experienced in space. The tall tales he spun filled Owecar with awe, much to his mother's dismay. Celmon was a droid repair woman and wanted Owecar to stay on Coruscant with her when he grew up, not be an outlaw like his father. As much as Owecar loved his mother, he would go against her wishes and train to be a space pilot whenever his father was in town.
However, the love Owecar had for piloting didn't detract from his interest with tinkering. Truly being a product of both his mother and father, Owecar loved playing around with machines almost as much as he wanted to fly. He spent most of his youth helping Celmon out in her repair shop and eventually became skilled enough to be one of her employees. When Owecar was 15, Celmon bought a damaged T7 astromech droid for parts. Seeing this droid as an opportunity to test himself and bring him one step closer to becoming a pilot, Owecar begged his mother to let him keep it to try and repair for himself. After staying many nights late to help her out, lots of grovelling, and a well timed Festival of Life gift, Owecar got his wish and was given the droid T7-E6, which he affectionately called Essex.
It took Owecar two years to make Essex fully functional. This was due to a combination of trying to get familiar with the droid and getting the right parts. But after getting the right perception filaments, Essex was fully online and functional. The two became close quickly, as a young boy would with a new pet. With his astromech fully repaired, Owecar was determined to start his piloting career as soon as possible.
Owecar was limited in the options to make himself a career pilot. One was to start from scratch, buy his own ship and try to sell his services to anyone who he could find. The second was to join an already established ship's crew, hoping one day to reach the rank of pilot. His final option was to enlist in the Republic Navy, where he would get plenty of time in the sky during the Great Galactic War. After a bit of internal debate, Owecar decided the best way to fly in space was to enlist himself into the Republic Navy.
Owecar's mother was not a fan of his plans to join the Navy to say the least. After he enlisted without telling her, the two got into a huge argument, ending with Owecar storming out of his former home. To this day, he still hasn't returned to talk to make amends with his mother. Relations with his father weren't much better, as he stopped coming by their home since Owecar received Essex. With no one keeping him tethered to Coruscant, Owecar began his training for the Republic Navy immediately.
Owecar's training was quick, but effective. Due to the combination of the Republic needing pilots and him having a knack for flying, Owecar was approved to fly for the Republic in a little under two years. His first missions were nothing special, a few escort missions here, carrying some cargo there, just rookie level stuff. The monotony of his work would cease when the Republic called for emergency forces when Serroco Mandalorians initiated an offensive on Obroa-skai to seize the wealth of intel gathered there for the past 13,000 years.
Owecar was put into the hastily made Lima squadron, made of who was available at the time. Thrust into the heat of battle, Owecar flew The Iron Tiss'Shar and more than proved his worth. After an early death of the Lima squadron leader and no chain of command to follow, Owecar took charge and expertly coordinated the destruction of the Mandalorian Cruiser leading the attack. Due to Owecar's slick dog fighting skills and leadership the Buyacir was eliminated and the Raid on Obroa-skai was successfully stopped by Republic forces.
Owecar was awarded for his achievements during the battle by being granted the rank of Petty Officer Second Class. Owecar's piloting skills only continued to grow after that, and with the help of Essex keeping his ships in top condition, Owecar was able to assist in several other Republic operations, and continues to serve them, as long as they keep him flying.

On the right side of the vehicle is an insignia of an open book protected by a shield, the symbol of Lima Squadron. Beneath the insignia,the names Egel, Cipp, Owecar, and T7-E6 are scratched in, a touch the group added to all their fighters one night celebrating the victory of the Raid on Obroa-skai. On the left side of the vehicle is the vehicle's personal insignia, the helmeted head of a Krayt Dragon. Owecar chose this symbol simply because he thought it was cool.
