I, Wertz Krachen

My name is Wertz Krachen, I'm a Duro. I have been talented with tools and mechanical things since I was young. My community (what humans call family) wanted me to become a Jedi, but no sooner did I get to the academy in Ossus than I was told that the force was not strong in me; thus they decided not to train me. This made me feel so frustrated because I was highly motivated and I did not wanted to let my community down, but when they learned about it, they could not accept the fact that I would not become a Jedi and they did not allow me to come back home.

Although I felt (I still feel) resentment towards the Jedi order, I decided to stay there, build a reputation and become the best hero the Duros have ever had in our history, but I have to do it in a different path: Mechanics and engineering. I tried to make myself useful in the academy hangars, at the beginning it was difficult because nobody trusted in my skills, but fortunately I met Bantha who gave me an opportunity to help him modify his spacecraft, I did my best and I impressed him in such a way that he took me in. Then I became Bantha’s apprentice, not only did he improve my mechanical and engineering skills, but also he trained me in basic combat techniques. Now it is just time to prove the Jedi order and my community wrong…
