HISTORY
Jagen Tallon is a thirty-five year old Lieutenant in what currently constitutes the Republic Security Forces. A veteran of the War against the Mandalorians, he hails from the planet of Corellia. His birth and life leading up to his joining a Corellian Militia unit was really of little note, and barely any different from many young men on the planet. He came from a family of spacers, and mechanics -- jobs which seem to dominate the lives of so many on that planet. In his youth he showed little aptitude toward mechanics or piloting, and showed a great deal more interest in a more martial lifestyle. Gifted with a bit better then average intelligence, and the sort of straightforward cunning that is good for a military mind, he took to a life of soldiering.

At twenty he enlisted the Corellian Volunteer Militia, a unit of infantry soldiers being raised by the planet of Corellia to help the Republic fight her various wars and battles that needed won across the galaxy -- eventually being assigned to the 201st Volunteer Militia Regiment. They also protected Corellian interests on Corellia, and beyond -- even skirmishing with the Mandalorians on the Outer Rim while protecting Corellian ships before the war ever truly came to the Republic. By the time the first real skirmishes of the war started 3965, Jagen was an Lieutenant in the Corellian Militia, having received a battlefield promotion as a Sergeant during a previous engagement, and was a veteran of many battles. The years that followed his promotion would see him fighting in many desperate battles across the galaxy, and his skills as a soldier would eventually bring him safely to the end of that war.

With one war ending, and the defection of a 1/3 of the Republic Military, Jagen and many of his Corellian counterparts found their Militia units folded into the Republic Security Forces -- a conglomeration of the various volunteer units that had fought against the Mandalorians, Military Police, and Local Police Units. Here they would try to hammer out a formal military doctrine, and form a cohesive fighting force.
