A Coruscant native, Yod grew up amid the mediocracy of the mid-levels of that city-world. Early on, he was encouraged by his family to develop his natural mechanical and scientific talents. After a life-time of Imperial servitude, his parents knew that a far better future awaited him off-world and combined all their savings to send him to the best Naboo Research University they could afford.
It was this ill-fated trip that was cut short by one of the Empire's "routine" criminal sweeps. In an instant of flashing turbo-lasers, Yod had lost all his belongings, including his parents savings.
Faced with the difficult decision of returning home or continuing on to Naboo, Yod instead chose to follow his own path. One that will lead him to Corellia. For all along, he had secretly hoped to transfer his education to a Corellian Shipyard at the first opportunity. Starship engineering was his true calling, even if his parents didn't agree.
Creditless, jobless, he seeks out those Artisans and Engineers who recognize his talent, appreciate his hard work, and are willing to train him. He strives to master his craft, perfect his skills, and someday...
Those Corellian Shipyards will be waiting.
