Alliance hero Luke Skywalker had been a young man when he helped save the galaxy from the Empire, but there was an even younger teenager with a strong connection to the Force. Kyp Durron, whose life had been full of tragedy due to the Empire, gained the ultimate weapon -- the power of the Dark Side -- to use against it.
Kyp was born on the Deyer colony of the Anoat System. The Deyer colonists lived on raft cities anchored in a complex of terraformed lakes. Kyp's parents had been spoken politicians, who had tried to make Emporer Palpatine realize the need for moderate actions instead of the drastic ones he employed against the Rebels and their sympathizers. They protested during the anniversary of the Ghorman Massacre, and again when the Death Star destroyed the peaceful planet of Alderaan.
One night, the stromtroopers crashed into the Durron home. Kyp's 14 yr old brother, Zeth, was sent to the Imperial Academy on Caridia, one of the most grueling training grounds for the military service. Shackled with stun cuffs, Kyp was led off with his parents.
Eight-year-old Kyp and his parents were sent to one of Kessel's gigantic prison complexes, the Imperial Correctional Facility, where the Empire used prison slaves to mine glitterstim spice, a powerful drug that sold for high amounts in an unrefined form. During the years of the Rebellion's battle against the Empire, Kyp worked, forgotten, down in the dark glitterstim mines. When a Rybet administrator, Moruth Doole, took over the Kessel facilities, Kyp's parents were executed. Alone, he continued to mine, endlessly passing his days in the blackness.
Several years passed until an old woman named Vima Da-Boda was sent to the Correctional Facility. Vima, who had been a Jedi Knight in the days of the Old Republic, was soon drawn to Kyp Durron. She could feel his incredibly strong aptitude for the Force, and trained Kyp to use some lesser Force skills. But one day, the Imperials came and took her away; Kyp Durron never saw her again.
Seven years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo and Chewbacca came to Kessel and were shot down by Moruth Doole's ships. The Rybet administrator had Han and Chewbacca sent into the deepest spice mines, to slave away until their deaths. There, Kyp and Solo became friends.
Han soon discovered the eighteen-year-old Kyp's great aptitude for the Force, which gave him abilities that helped them escape. Stealing an Imperial cargo shuttle, they managed to flee Kessel and its defense fleet, only to be pulled into the Maw, a secret Imperial weapons-creation site presided over by Admiral Daala.
Daala's men captured the shuttle and brutally interrogated Solo, Chewbacca, and Durron. When Solo appealed to the willowly scientist Qui Xux's conscience, she decided to help them escape. Kyp, Han, Chewbacca, and Qui Xux commandered her ultimate weapon-ship, the Sun Crusher. Using his Force powers, Kyp piloted the Sun Crusher through the Maw and out to freedom.
Back at the Rebel base on Coruscant, Luke Skywalker tested Kyp's Jedi power potential. What he discovered was the strongest Force prescence he had known since his Masters, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Luke invited Kyp to join him as a Jedi Trainee on the moon of Yavin IV.
Although his skills were great, Kyp felt that they were not enough. In Daala's dungeon of the Maw, he had promised himself that he would never again be weak. Between his impatience and desire for revenge against the Empire, he was ripe pickings for a servant of the Dark Side: Exar Kun.
