"Who am I? I'm the one who shall bring justice to the Republic...and The Force."

- Michael Starkiller

Summary
Michael Starkiller was the child of rich Corellian speeder sales-people. He grew up as an only child, and his parents had no idea that Michael was Force-sensitive. He lived in a tall sky-scraper in Coronet City. When Michael was 15 he pulled his parents out of his burning house while using his mind, and he had a suspicion that he was like Luke Skywalker, meaning that he could use The Force too. Michael joined the New Republic as an officer, also training his Force abilities. When Luke Skywalker started up his Jedi Praxeum, Michael joined in. He was one of the most promising students, and became a Jedi Knight within a year. He and Jedi like Kam Solusar and Kyp Durron helped train young students. He still is a great Jedi Master in the Order, to this day. His apprentices name is Matthew Xan, a hard-headed apprentice who still has much to learn. Michael can help Matthew by doing his favorite thing...doing hard missions for the Jedi.

Biography (6 BBY – 12 ABY)
Childhood "How the hell did he do that!"

- Keets Starkiller's response after Michael saved him and his wife with his mind

Keets Starkiller and Angel Starkiller gave birth to Michael during the rise of the Galactic Empire in 6 BBY. They were rich people, who loved Michael very much. They lived in luxiurious Coronet City, where a bunch of rich Corellians lived in sky-scrapers, like the Starkiller's. Michael grew up as a friendly kid, who had all kinds of buddies. He attended a private academy in Coronet, where he first saw Han Solo. He was amazed, knowing that there was a war going on, and his favorite hero was part of it. It was 2 ABY and Michael was only eight. He wanted to be just like Han when he grew up. In 12 ABY after a normal child-hood, Michael figured out that he was a Force-Sensitive being. His parents caught their house on fire with a flame-thrower they'd bought for protection, and were in grave danger. Michael was outside of the house, and somehow used his mind to levitate his parents and put them safely on the ground. His parents decided to enroll Michael at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy when he was 18 standard years old.

Jedi Training (12 ABY – 17 ABY)
"I believe that you will become a great Jedi Knight."

- Luke Skywalker to Michael Starkiller

Luke Skywalker excepted Michael into the academy because he had magnificent skills in the Force. Michael came to the temple in 12 ABY, around the same time Kyp Durron had stolen the Sun Crusher and enrolled as a Jedi. Michael was easy to be-friend. He hung around and studied with Corran Horn until he left the academy, Brakiss who had been a Dark Jedi but had been turned back to the light, and Tionne Solusar who was a talented musician. Michael was allowed to construct his first lightsaber before most of the other students, except Gantoris who did it without permission. Luke took a special notice of Michael and Corran. Corran was Michael's best-friend, so Michael was upset when Corran left on a short notice. He had to find his wife Mirax Terrik and save her from the Invidious. Michael continued being a star-pupil, and was asked to help out some of the struggling Trainees with their use of the Force. Michael was believed to have almost as strong Force powers as Luke himself. So at 16 ABY Michael became a Jedi Knight at the Academy, a little while after Kyp Durron. He was allowed to take on apprentice, or do some solo-missions. Michael didn't want to take an apprentice already under Luke's tutelage, so he decided to find solo-missions to do for the next couple of years.

A Dangerous Mission

Michael, having done this so many times, was asked to crack down on some spice-dealers on Coruscant. These dealers had been selling spice secretly, but in large quantities. Michael was supposed to put them out-of-business for good without a lot of violence. Michael successfully got into the lower-levels of Coruscant, but he was being followed, and he knew it. Once he figured it out, a light-whip struck him in the back. Then the head, over and over again. Michael was unconcious, and was dragged back to some hide-out. His assailant was Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith. Michael was strapped to a chair in some kind of pad. He learned that Lumiya was very deadly from Luke Skywalker. Lumiya didn't do as Michael expected her to do (kill him), she instead tried to influence him to the darkside.

"You're strong in the Force, Jedi. But I will change how you see things. Luke's Praxeum of Jedi will never replace what was of the Old Republic's Jedi Knights, but the Sith are stronger than ever. With Darth Sidious and Vader gone, me and you can thrive justice into the galaxy. Not our galaxy, because we are not power-hungry like Palpatine, but we'll do good for the people."

Michael excepted the darkside, so he became a Dark Jedi. He would serve under Lumiya, but it would take long to achieve the same level of greatness. It would be a long and difficult path. A path of destruction.

Dark Journey (19 ABY – 21 ABY)
"As Darkness falls upon me, I realize that I'm the best. I'm stronger, and more agile than you, Sith."

- Michael Starkiller to Lumiya

Michael was taught some basic Sith-skills by Lumiya, but his main job was to meditate about the history of the sith, and to read up on their history. In some passages of tombs Lumiya had given Michael, great Sith Lords had been mentioned. There was of course the sith of the Valley of the Dark Lords, such as Marka Ragnos, Tulak Hord, Ajunta Pall, and Naga Sadow. The tombs were full of knowledge about the Sith around 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Michael kept reading some amazing things from a few Sith Lords specifically: Revan, Darth Malak, Darth Traya, Sion, and Nihilus. Darth Malak had betrayed Revan, to rule the Sith and the galaxy. Traya hated the Force. Although she was used, she used it like a poison. She wanted death in the Force. Sion lived off pain. Pain left him immortal. Nihilus was the Lord of hunger, feeding off the lives of the innocent. His hunger gave him the lust for power. And Revan, he was a great Sith Lord. Nearly demolished the Mandalorians during the Mandalorian Wars, and nobody knew how he did it. He, rather than Master Kavar who was supposed to lead the Republic into those wars, was very successful. But there was something that confused Michael about Revan's history. Revan lost his memory when he was attacked by Malak, and became a Jedi. He learned that he was Revan, but stayed with the Jedi. That taught Michael that anyone could be redeemed. That's why Michael always remembered Revan, and his redemption. But Michael believed that he was to remain on the Darkside forever. Michael, one day while he was meditating, was assigned his first mission as Lumiya's pupil. But the mission was to return to the Jedi Enclave and kill a Jedi student one day at a time. Then Luke. Michael excepted the mission. To be successful, he had to remind himself of pain and hatred. That was the only way he'd succeed.

The First Mission Michael flew an X-Wing back to the Jedi Enclave, the X-Wing he took to start the mission from two years ago. When the Jedi saw Michael landing the ship, they all came out of the Enclave happily. Even Luke and Mara Jade were there. Luke questioned why Michael had been gone for so long. Michael just said that it had been a very dangerous mission. Luke was just glad that he was alive and well. Michael stayed at the Enclave, ready to do Lumiya's mission. But he wouldn't kill an apprentice first. He'd go for Luke. When Luke was going to his quarters, Michael was there in the room with his lightsaber ignited. Luke ignited his and there was a difficult battle. When Michael's lightsaber flew out of his hand, Luke had one. Michael told Luke of Lumiya, and Luke was upset with what had happened. Lumiya was a foe to him, and he upset that Michael was used against him.

Redemption Luke and Michael discussed what had happened over the two years, and Luke agreed to help Michael back to the light. Michael remembered the story of Darth Revan and his redemption, which helped him turn back to the light. Michael was allowed to continue with his Jedi Knight status at the Academy. Luke even recommended that he take a learner as his Padawan. Michael agree that he would.
