Biography: Steen's
parents, both Corellians, moved to Plonia V before he was born in an
attempt to find less competition for their freight and transport
flights than there was on Corellia. Steen was born on Plonia V but
spent as much, if not more, time on his parents' ship growing up than
on the planet. Once he was old enough to start pulling his own weight
when he came along on flights, he was expected to do so, and the
majority of his schooling was handled by his parents. Steen rarely
interacted with kids his own age. He soon grew into a very capable
pilot with a very strong independent streak. After a few years of
general higher education studies on Plonia V, Steen decided to enter an
Imperial academy to pursure flying as a career and to perfect his
flying skills. However, his first and only year at the academy was a
disaster, as he despised the treatment he was given as a first-year
student by the upperclassmen and the teachers alike. The more he fought
back, the worse it became and the more marks he got on his record.
After one particularly bad encounter landed him in a holding cell for a
couple of days, he was dishonorably discharged. He hid that fact from
his parents for as long as he could.
Finding employment after his expulsion was next to impossible. Steen at
last got a low-paying job flying a small passenger spaceliner for a
commuter line on their low-traffic route. He hated it,
and it just got worse when Rebel activity near his route began to scare
away the few remaining passengers. The commuter line notified him
they'd be shutting down that route and laying him off. On one of his
last flights, one of his passengers was an undercover Rebel named
Quentell Mackin. The Imperials traced Mackin to that transport, causing
a large problem for Steen and the rest of the passengers. However,
Steen was instantly impressed with how Mackin let Steen make his own
decisions and didn't try to boss him around. He helped Mackin get away,
and soon afterward, Steen was laid off. He contacted Mackin, and with
his help Steen got through Alliance training and was assigned to the
Coronas at Mackin's request.
