- "Ten years ago, the colony was attacked by the Sith. My family was killed. They never fought back. The Sith crushed them, the way you might step on a bug."
- ―Fideltin Rusk
The mother of the Galactic Republic soldier Fideltin Rusk was a Chagrian female[3] who lived in a colony[3] on the planet Mindor during the Great Galactic War between the Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire.[2] A strong pacifist[4] like many of her species,[2] the woman married a Chagrian male, and the two had a son they named Fideltin[4] 3680 BBY.[5]
However, Rusk rebelled against the colony's pacifist ideals[6] and enlisted in the Republic Military as soon as he was of age, and did not return to the colony throughout the Great Galactic War and the subsequent Cold War.[4] In 3650 BBY,[1] the Sith Empire attacked the colony during an incursion into Republic space, and his mother and father were both killed along with the rest of the colony. In the aftermath of the attack, Rusk's superiors began receiving reports that he became increasingly reckless in battle.[3]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1
Star Wars: The Old Republic — Conversation with Sergeant Rusk: "Passive Resistance" establishes that Fideltin Rusk's father died when a Chagrian colony on Mindor was destroyed ten years prior. The conversation takes place in Act III of Star Wars: The Old Republic, which occurs in 3640 BBY per the reasoning here. Therefore, the colony's destruction and the death of Rusk's mother took place in 3650 BBY.
