Bio:
-Birth to Ten Years-
It all began when he was born in Coruscant into an above average family. Jacobo knew his parents well, Henry and Bea Brown. They both were computer programmers for Coruscant energy companies. As a young child, for some reason he seemed to love to run. He was always full with energy and just wouldn't stop running. His stamina was amazing and he became very athletic at a young age. All the way to the age of 10 he would play and run a bunch. He also particularly started to learn about stocks in school and loved math in school. He liked to play a lot with his fellow class mates. He loved socializing and he made people laugh. Being that, he was also very creative. Jacobo loved doing clever things and being the best. He really did make a bunch of friends at a young age. Everyone liked him and he liked everyone. He was very selfless and would share things he had. Jacobo at the time of course was innocent... Later he wouldn't be the same as things kept him away from his own friends. But at the time, life was good for young Jacobo.
-Eleven to Fifteen-
At the age of 11, he was given his own blaster rifle to shoot for fun. He was knocked back the first few times but amazingly learned to balance himself and shoot. It became his hobby and obsession. He would play by himself pretending he was in battle. He would actually shoot though and one time killed their pet. His rifle was taken up for a while so he began to study school again. He resumed shooting little animals with his rifle developing a very accurate shot. He learned to hone his shot well with practice throughout his teens. He liked the idea that "practice makes perfect." He got so caught up in his rifle that he forgot his friends which would hurt him later. He didn't have friends and was too caught up in hobbies. Jacobo forgot about it for a while and did not care until the girl that changed his life. He became emotional when doing things and was known to do be a bit extreme when he did things. Jacobo began to undertake a study of the galaxy's history and started to really enjoy it. Battles and the art of war intrigued him and he began simulating his own battles on online simulators.
-Sixteen to Eighteen-
He would not stop studying battles, exceptional generals, and the great leaders of the past time. Jacobo continued to run fast and shoot very well until the age of 16 where his focus would develop somewhere else. He was in soccer (star wars soccer? lol) and was continually forced to run. He would play sports as he grew up and was the captain on his teams. He was very quick on his feet, very agile. He also had considerable strength but didn't see the use of working out anymore. He also began to take an interest in mathematics and stocks. As they were usually busy, Jacobo had spare time and invested into stocks at Coruscant. There he learned how to make much money as he made many risks. He did lose a lot but he gained even more as he learned from his losses at the age of 17. It wasn't really luck, it was his hard working studies. He would stay up nights reading about strategies on how to time the market. From his house, he tracked the economies and the different industries and found which one would do well. At the same time, a girl noticed this. She began to take a particular interest in him and they seemed the perfect couple. Near Christmas time they started dating. They both were a happy couple that seemed to last. By 18, his stocks were worth more than his parents and he planned to use this money to go to the best military school at Coruscant. On his last year before military school, he joined his local schools debate team and learned how to argue very well. There he would go to tournaments learning to persuade someone to his side over his opponents. He would also learn how to speak well and clear. He would do very well winning all the tournaments he would go to except the first one he went to. It was a weird thing for him to do at the last minute and it was later explained that he joined for his girl because she was in it too. She didn't care as much as he did and he worked hard at it. Hard work does pay off and he found a way to argue his way out of most things at the end of it all.
-Nineteen to Twenty Two-
IT wasn't easy getting into this military school, the only reason he got in was because he knew how to talk them into it and because he had large sums of money. During this time the girlfriend that he truely loved for some time broke up with him bitterly. It horrified him and almost stopped his career there but it only made him push harder for perfection. Any time she was brought up... Allison... he became very emotional and rash. He didn't like to deal with girls, only the really kind ones after that. WHENEVER she was brought up, you could see his eyes sadden and drop and he became quiet. There was a great reason that bothered him was the fact that she beat the crap out of him for stupid reasons. Jacobo did not want to hurt her and physically became weaker so he could not hurt her.
There he would learn even more and be one of the exceptionals at the school. He wasn't the best but was one of the best. There is where he learned to hone in on his speed, stamina, and his intellectual cleverness. He went through officer training learning how to give orders and how to attack enemies and how to defend. He learned this to the utmost as the school crammed it down his throat. He learned to somewhat control his emotions now as she wasn't brought up and he began to forget about her. In simulations, he was one of the best at winning little battles they would try. He was renowned for his skill to flank and pull off quick movements. He took extra classes on how to fire different weapons, particularly the repeating blaster rifles or pistols. He learned how to fire so accurately he could disarm his opponent. He still remained quick as he ever was just as a child. He was used to being faster than almost anyone because he knew how much his workout of 1000 yards of lunges and sprints helped. He would graduate the military academy as a sharpshot, a scholar, and a man who had somewhat overcome his emotional side. He covers it up well but the emotion he has held back has just been piling up inside him waiting to blow.
-Twenty Three to Present-
After graduating from his military school at 23, he was a 2nd lieutenant. He saw his first action as they were patrolling an outpost for the Republic in a distant planet he cared not to know. He had carried several hit and run missions out successfully. He was known for his tactics to crawl up with his men to a certain spot and let one of his men to fire in an area where Mandalorians were nearby. They would fall for the trap as they tried to see where the gunfire had come from and be ambushed by Jacobo and his men. After capturing and killing a significant amount of their patrols, he was promoted to 1st lt. He was proud of his promotion and seemed content until things started getting worse. There were reports of Mandalorians around. He was patrolling one day and heard some distant noises. They were battle cries.The Mandalorians were the attackers. They charged at Jacobo's squad with 500 strong. Jacobo's squad consisted of 12 men. You're probably thinking bs right? I would too. Jacobo ordered his men to fall back to the small outpost where his company commander was. He radioed about the attack and told them to prepare defenses immediately. Jacobo was the quickest of all his soldiers so he remained as the rearguard with 2 others he knew were fast. This 3 man rearguard against 500 approaching was not good. Lasers were flying everywhere and Jacobo was hit in his stomach and one of the two dropped immediately. The others managed to have a great head start to the outpost. The 500 strong mandalorians kept charging getting closer. Jacobo grasped his stomach and told the other soldier to retreat immediately. Jacobo immediately faked like he was dead next to his fellow dying soldier. The 500 strong ran around the two lying on the ground. Soon a huge firefight broke out as the 500 strong were approaching. All Jacobo could hear was screaming and constant gunfire. The 100+ small garrison opened up their heavy repeaters gunning down several Mandalorians. The Mandalorians started to take cover around whatever they could as their Leader gave himself away when he ordered the warriors to charge. Immediately loud cries came as 200 well built Mandalorians charged the garrison with their melee weapons. The garrison's leader was panicking and yelled for everyone to cut them down. The 200 charge cut down to about 100 as they got to the trenches the 100 garrison's were in. Immediately huge brawls opened up and the Republican Garrison seemed done for. To make matters worse the rest of the 300 were making a hard push on the REpublic right flank crushing it. The 20 or so odd Republican soldiers there were slaughtered. The leader though remained back with the 2 dying soldiers as he had no idea if they were dead or not. His two bodyguards searched Jacobo and his fellow soldier to see if they were alive. The bodyguard immediately saw that Jacobo was alive and raised his axe but it was too late, Jacobo fired his blaster into his stomach blowing him away. The other bodyguard roared but was soon blown away as well. The leading Mandalorian pulled out his pistol and shot the blaster out of Jacobo's hand. Jacobo was done for as he saw his gun was too far away. The leader approached and stepped on his wound. The dying soldier though immediately pulled out his blaster and started firing at the leader in one last attempt. But the leader had armor on and was only moderately damaged and immediately shot the remaining survivor to death. Meanwhile Jacobo had reached for his pistol as this happened and shot the leader's pistol out of his hand. The leader was now helpless. Jacobo shot the pistol out and ordered the leader to call back his attack. The leader spit on him but Jacobo immediately shot his foot. He cried and bitterly ordered his troops to fall back. Jacobo smirked and barely got up with his wound and told him to scram. The leader gratefully ran away. Jacobo then saw his dead friend and revenge entered his mind. His emotions got the better of him and he shot the leader dead cold there. His actions proved significant as he had saved the remnants of the company's 50 men. 50 were confirmed casualties and the rest either had minor wounds or were in shock. Jacobo would be promoted to captain and as he had killed a Major in the Mandalorian army and be given a medal for bravery. Little is known but Jacobo actually cut off the Mandalorian's head later and kept it in one of his chests for future use. Very few knew of this but only trusted his weird good will.
Jacobo wasn't always victorious though. He was part of a 2,500 man brigade which was guarding a strategic city. Many major roads lead to this city and losing it would be a major setback. There were also 2 more brigades but they were away at the time. Jacobo and his company of 125 men including his veteran soldiers were considered some of the top men in the whole brigade. One fateful day, the commander of the whole division claimed they were retreating from a massive army of 15,000+ Mandalorians. The brigade's leader warned all the companies of this and told them to prepare defenses. Jacobo ordered his best soldiers to be by his side in the trenches. 50+ of the veteran troopers prepared themselves along their portion of the trench line. Jacobo ordered the rest to be in the buildings behind the trench lines and to not fire until his order and hide until so. The colonel of the brigade heard of Jacobo's "clever" idea and ordered all companies to follow his logic. There were really only a few pieces of artillery in the city and they would be the only ways for the brigade to return enemy fire. Soon as noon approached, the frantic running of fellow soldiers could be soon. It was massive chaos as there were 3k+ fellow soldiers fleeing back into the city. The division commander had rode behind with his armored cars providing rearguard protection and as he entered the city he ordered all of them to brace themselves for a swarm of the enemy attack. He prepared his chaotic men into their units again and sent a battalion of 500 men to each flank. The 2,000 men left were kept in reserve and started preparing fall back positions. A few hours had passed and they could hear Mandalorian artillery being fired. Soon ground and troops around them was blown to pieces. It was a horrifying site and as it happened, Jacobo told his men to keep calm and reminded them they are fighting for their country. Jacobo aimed his repeating blaster at the general area of the Mandalorian army and said,"THOSE ARE THE ENEMY, ITS NOT YOUR DUTY TO DIE FOR YOUR NATION, ITS TO MAKE THE OTHER SON OF A pregnant dog DIE FOR HIS!" Soon the men were zealous and opened fire. The first wave of 7,500 Mandalorians approached as they charged with their guns and swords. Jacobo told his men to shoot the bastards down as his side was attacked. All along the line the men in the buildings held their fire and did not show themselves until Jacobo yelled out over his radio,"NOW!" Then as the Mandalorians were close upon the Republic's trench line, the troops in the buildings showed themselves and let out a hellish fire. They were quickly fought back and the Mandalorian advance was halted and they retreated to lick their wounds. Jacobo smirked and yelled to his men,"THATS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR, TO MAKE THEM DIE, NOT US! THEY WILL DIE AND WE WILL LIVE!" His men nodded in agreement and prepared themselves for the next wave. The fresh troops that hadn't seen battle in the buildings were feeling confident. As all seemed perfect, 5,000 Mandalorians hit the right flank hard. Jacobo was on the left flank and could only hear over the radio as they were being hit hard. Jacobo and his company were ordered back by the division commander along with a few other veteran companies. The division commander replaced their spots with his reserves and said,"All of you are being formed into my personal 500 man Battalion guard. You will do as I say and the overall commander of this guard will be Jacobo and his men, do as they say, they have gone through the most and I trust them." Jacobo nodded in agreement, knowing the responsibility placed upon him. Then the radio yelled out,"SIR, THERES TOO MANY WE'RE FALLING BACK!" The 500+ right flank stood no chance and fell back to the inner city with the reserves. Jacobo asked,"Sir, may your guard go to help them?" The division leader nodded, and said,"Do not fail me, I'm sending two additional battalion reserves to reinforce the right flank. Jacobo immediately got his men together and started to move out when word was spread that the Mandalorians were re-attacking. This time, the 7,500 Mandalorians charged again but in a joint attack with another 5,000 swarmed their left flank. Jacobo and his battalion were rushed to the right flank with the colonel's division armored cars and he ordered them to drive wide right. Jacobo was planning a devious move. He ordered them to drive faster and faster and eventually they were right behind the 5,000+ right flanking move. Jacobo yelled to his men," MEN OUR BROTHERS ARE BEING CRUSHED, AVENGE THEM NOW OR LEAVE TO BE DEAD. CHARGE!" Jacobo personally lead the charge with his company as they sprinted to hit the enemy from the rear. The enemy were surprised as they heard gunfire from behind and saw Republican troopers behind them. Jacobo's charge was followed by the remaining in the Battalion to charge headstrong. The fighting became viscous. Jacobo was almost killed in a moment when a Mandalorian had his axe and knocked Jacobo's blaster away. He immediately pulled out his pistol and shot the Mandalore in the head dead on. There was another instance where he would shoot several Mandalorains trying to flank his building by himself as well. His training had payed off as he was able to fire with extreme accuracy. His seasoned men ripped away at the defenseless Mandalores being sandwiched. They either had to charge into the Republic defenses or fight an enemy coming from behind. Soon a massive retreat began from their attack with heavy losses and Jacobo and his men cheered as they chased them away. The colonel came upon the radio and screamed,"JACOBO GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW!" The right flank had been completely overwhelmed and the front line collapsed into a rout. What was left of the division remained in the very center of the city with 4,000 or so left of the original 7,500. Their artillery pieces were all either destroyed or captured. The colonel ordered an all out retreat and said the city was lost. Bitterly Jacobo knew this was true and he retreated with his men quickly. The Mandalorians chased them the rest of the way giving random bursts of fire and artillery fire occasionally getting some of the few unlucky republican soldiers. AT the end of the battle, Jacobo was promoted to Major and he was able to keep the Battalion of seasoned veterans.
Jacobo was proud as he had already done so much. Years would pass with little battles and skirmishes but then the real battle came when he turned 25. He would be transferred to a different planet where he was in command of a 500 man assault with 10 pieces of laser artillery and 10 light tanks and the 50 men of his company that were still alive who he claimed as his personal company. He was charged with a sneak attack on a key Mandalore Village which happened to open the flank for the Mandalorian defense line. Jacobo detailed his attack plan and ordered the light tanks to advance with 20 men per tank. The remaining 300 were split as 200 were assigned to flank the Mandalorian left side of the village. 100 of them remained in reserve to be deployed to help out the frontal advance. Jacobo and his 50 men were going for something else, the Mandalore rear. There were about 500 Mandalorian soldiers in the village with snipers and 6 pieces of laser artillery. They were outnumbered but they also had fortifacations and trenches. The attack began as the 200 man/10 light tanks advanced quickly as the 10 lazer artillery pieces opened fire. The Mandalorians screamed as they opened fire on the Republican assault. Artillery started shredding up the light tanks, knocking out two. Then as the fighting bogged down, the other 200 flanked in on their left and started street to street fighting. They quickly mowed down the unprotected Mandalorians. Then hope came as the frontal assault which bogged down gave them chance to advance. The 100 reserves joined the fight now to help advance the frontal assault as the Mandalorians were pushed back. As all this was happening JAcobo and his men had made themselves all the way around to their rear. Jacobo and his men set up positions in the woods waiting for the Mandalorian retreat. They actually heard vehicles as soon a convoy of an additional 500 Mandalorians were on their way. Jacobo knew this wasn't good. He ordered his men to hold position. He noticed the trucks just kept coming and coming. Jacobo ordered his men to throw a few plasma grenades in front of the trucks. Immediately havoc broke loose as the trucks were flipped and the convoy train started crashing into this havoc. Each convoy could hold 50 Mandalorians at a time. 2 had gotten by and the 3rd and 4th weren't so lucky. the 5th and 6th one burst into the 3rd and 4th. The 7th-10th stopped and got out immediately. JAcobo ordered his troops to open fire as they were in the trees. Jacobo also caused chaos as he picked out men giving orders with his blaster rifle. Each he shot seemed to be officers and his accuracy with blasters helped extremely.The rest of the Mandalorians didn't know what happened and assumed a large ambush was in progress. The remnants immediately flew the battlefield. Later it would be known that 167 got away out of the 400. The first 100 had heard the explosions and fighting and continued to help the defense. The fighting was going good for the REpublic. The remnants of the Mandalorian garrison retreated to their last spot waiting for their reinforcements. Only 100 came and they knew they were done for. Immediately they surrendered not knowing that the force was a lot smaller. Jacobo's force counted to remain at 343 plus the 50 hand picked men, 6 light tanks and 10 laser artillery pieces. He captured 4 of the 6 pieces and 280 of the 500 man garrison and plus the 100 Mandalorian fresh forces. After this stunning feat of heroism, he would be promoted to Colonel.
Years would pass and he would reach the age of 28 on garrison duty. Many times the Mandalorians would attack his city but his Brigade of 2,500 repelled them always. He would go on to study and give orders and not much has changed since.

RP Sample:
Colonel Brown approached his 50 or so odd knights he nicknamed the Teutonic Knights. He was being a bit unorthodox referring to the Teutonic Order. Each was given a special suit and helmet making them looking like the traditional knights. Colonel Brown looked at all of them and said,"Teutonic Knights... you are the best of the best. You are the strongest, the bravest that I know of. We have been through great battles together and will never fail to exist. We will always win or die trying." The Teutonic Knights applaud to his words. Colonel Brown smiles and says,"Now go enjoy yourselves, my 5 man staff will meet to discuss our future." The 45 regular Knights ate and drank as Colonel Brown and his 5 man staff met. Colonel Brown opened up,"CAptain Tobias, status report?" Cpt. Tobias,"Sir, morale is excellent, spirit is high, and they think you are god sir." Colonel Brown smirked," Good good..." Colonel Brown spoke softly,"MEn... we will move soon and may be transferred somewhere else, wherever we go, I assure you there will be more action." The 5 men nodded. Colonel Brown," I want you to make sure these men enjoy themselves tonight, it may be their last night to enjoy life." The 5 men grimly nodded and returned to their units. Colonel Brown smiled and polished his repeating blaster and looked over his military papers. He reviewed his extensive fitness, range weapon, and scholar tests in order to remain a Teutonic Knight.

There is where he learned to hone in on his speed, stamina, and his intellectual cleverness. He went through officer training learning how to give orders and how to attack enemies and how to defend. He learned this to the utmost as the school crammed it down his throat. He learned to somewhat control his emotions now as she wasn't brought up and he began to forget about her. In simulations, he was one of the best at winning little battles they would try. He was renowned for his skill to flank and pull off quick movements. He took extra classes on how to fire different weapons, particularly the repeating blaster rifles or pistols. He learned how to fire so accurately he could disarm his opponent. He still remained quick as he ever was just as a child. He was used to being faster than almost anyone because he knew how much his workout of 1000 yards of lunges and sprints helped. He would graduate the military academy as a sharpshot, a scholar, and a man who had somewhat overcome his emotional side. He covers it up well but the emotion he has held back has just been piling up inside him waiting to blow.
-Twenty Three to Present-
After graduating from his military school at 23, he was a 2nd lieutenant. He saw his first action as they were patrolling an outpost for the Republic in a distant planet he cared not to know. He had carried several hit and run missions out successfully. He was known for his tactics to crawl up with his men to a certain spot and let one of his men to fire in an area where Mandalorians were nearby. They would fall for the trap as they tried to see where the gunfire had come from and be ambushed by Jacobo and his men. After capturing and killing a significant amount of their patrols, he was promoted to 1st lt. He was proud of his promotion and seemed content until things started getting worse. There were reports of Mandalorians around. He was patrolling one day and heard some distant noises. They were battle cries.The Mandalorians were the attackers. They charged at Jacobo's squad with 500 strong. Jacobo's squad consisted of 12 men. You're probably thinking bs right? I would too. Jacobo ordered his men to fall back to the small outpost where his company commander was. He radioed about the attack and told them to prepare defenses immediately. Jacobo was the quickest of all his soldiers so he remained as the rearguard with 2 others he knew were fast. This 3 man rearguard against 500 approaching was not good. Lasers were flying everywhere and Jacobo was hit in his stomach and one of the two dropped immediately. The others managed to have a great head start to the outpost. The 500 strong mandalorians kept charging getting closer. Jacobo grasped his stomach and told the other soldier to retreat immediately. Jacobo immediately faked like he was dead next to his fellow dying soldier. The 500 strong ran around the two lying on the ground. Soon a huge firefight broke out as the 500 strong were approaching. All Jacobo could hear was screaming and constant gunfire. The 100+ small garrison opened up their heavy repeaters gunning down several Mandalorians. The Mandalorians started to take cover around whatever they could as their Leader gave himself away when he ordered the warriors to charge. Immediately loud cries came as 200 well built Mandalorians charged the garrison with their melee weapons. The garrison's leader was panicking and yelled for everyone to cut them down. The 200 charge cut down to about 100 as they got to the trenches the 100 garrison's were in. Immediately huge brawls opened up and the Republican Garrison seemed done for. To make matters worse the rest of the 300 were making a hard push on the REpublic right flank crushing it. The 20 or so odd Republican soldiers there were slaughtered. The leader though remained back with the 2 dying soldiers as he had no idea if they were dead or not. His two bodyguards searched Jacobo and his fellow soldier to see if they were alive. The bodyguard immediately saw that Jacobo was alive and raised his axe but it was too late, Jacobo fired his blaster into his stomach blowing him away. The other bodyguard roared but was soon blown away as well. The leading Mandalorian pulled out his pistol and shot the blaster out of Jacobo's hand. Jacobo was done for as he saw his gun was too far away. The leader approached and stepped on his wound. The dying soldier though immediately pulled out his blaster and started firing at the leader in one last attempt. But the leader had armor on and was only moderately damaged and immediately shot the remaining survivor to death. Meanwhile Jacobo had reached for his pistol as this happened and shot the leader's pistol out of his hand. The leader was now helpless. Jacobo shot the pistol out and ordered the leader to call back his attack. The leader spit on him but Jacobo immediately shot his foot. He cried and bitterly ordered his troops to fall back. Jacobo smirked and barely got up with his wound and told him to scram. The leader gratefully ran away. Jacobo then saw his dead friend and revenge entered his mind. His emotions got the better of him and he shot the leader dead cold there. His actions proved significant as he had saved the remnants of the company's 50 men. 50 were confirmed casualties and the rest either had minor wounds or were in shock. Jacobo would be promoted to captain and as he had killed a Major in the Mandalorian army and be given a medal for bravery. Little is known but Jacobo actually cut off the Mandalorian's head later and kept it in one of his chests for future use. Very few knew of this but only trusted his weird good will.
Jacobo wasn't always victorious though. He was part of a 2,500 man brigade which was guarding a strategic city. Many major roads lead to this city and losing it would be a major setback. There were also 2 more brigades but they were away at the time. Jacobo and his company of 125 men including his veteran soldiers were considered some of the top men in the whole brigade. One fateful day, the commander of the whole division claimed they were retreating from a massive army of 15,000+ Mandalorians. The brigade's leader warned all the companies of this and told them to prepare defenses. Jacobo ordered his best soldiers to be by his side in the trenches. 50+ of the veteran troopers prepared themselves along their portion of the trench line. Jacobo ordered the rest to be in the buildings behind the trench lines and to not fire until his order and hide until so. The colonel of the brigade heard of Jacobo's "clever" idea and ordered all companies to follow his logic. There were really only a few pieces of artillery in the city and they would be the only ways for the brigade to return enemy fire. Soon as noon approached, the frantic running of fellow soldiers could be soon. It was massive chaos as there were 3k+ fellow soldiers fleeing back into the city. The division commander had rode behind with his armored cars providing rearguard protection and as he entered the city he ordered all of them to brace themselves for a swarm of the enemy attack. He prepared his chaotic men into their units again and sent a battalion of 500 men to each flank. The 2,000 men left were kept in reserve and started preparing fall back positions. A few hours had passed and they could hear Mandalorian artillery being fired. Soon ground and troops around them was blown to pieces. It was a horrifying site and as it happened, Jacobo told his men to keep calm and reminded them they are fighting for their country. Jacobo aimed his repeating blaster at the general area of the Mandalorian army and said,"THOSE ARE THE ENEMY, ITS NOT YOUR DUTY TO DIE FOR YOUR NATION, ITS TO MAKE THE OTHER SON OF A pregnant dog DIE FOR HIS!" Soon the men were zealous and opened fire. The first wave of 7,500 Mandalorians approached as they charged with their guns and swords. Jacobo told his men to shoot the bastards down as his side was attacked. All along the line the men in the buildings held their fire and did not show themselves until Jacobo yelled out over his radio,"NOW!" Then as the Mandalorians were close upon the Republic's trench line, the troops in the buildings showed themselves and let out a hellish fire. They were quickly fought back and the Mandalorian advance was halted and they retreated to lick their wounds. Jacobo smirked and yelled to his men,"THATS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR, TO MAKE THEM DIE, NOT US! THEY WILL DIE AND WE WILL LIVE!" His men nodded in agreement and prepared themselves for the next wave. The fresh troops that hadn't seen battle in the buildings were feeling confident. As all seemed perfect, 5,000 Mandalorians hit the right flank hard. Jacobo was on the left flank and could only hear over the radio as they were being hit hard. Jacobo and his company were ordered back by the division commander along with a few other veteran companies. The division commander replaced their spots with his reserves and said,"All of you are being formed into my personal 500 man Battalion guard. You will do as I say and the overall commander of this guard will be Jacobo and his men, do as they say, they have gone through the most and I trust them." Jacobo nodded in agreement, knowing the responsibility placed upon him. Then the radio yelled out,"SIR, THERES TOO MANY WE'RE FALLING BACK!" The 500+ right flank stood no chance and fell back to the inner city with the reserves. Jacobo asked,"Sir, may your guard go to help them?" The division leader nodded, and said,"Do not fail me, I'm sending two additional battalion reserves to reinforce the right flank. Jacobo immediately got his men together and started to move out when word was spread that the Mandalorians were re-attacking. This time, the 7,500 Mandalorians charged again but in a joint attack with another 5,000 swarmed their left flank. Jacobo and his battalion were rushed to the right flank with the colonel's division armored cars and he ordered them to drive wide right. Jacobo was planning a devious move. He ordered them to drive faster and faster and eventually they were right behind the 5,000+ right flanking move. Jacobo yelled to his men," MEN OUR BROTHERS ARE BEING CRUSHED, AVENGE THEM NOW OR LEAVE TO BE DEAD. CHARGE!" Jacobo personally lead the charge with his company as they sprinted to hit the enemy from the rear. The enemy were surprised as they heard gunfire from behind and saw Republican troopers behind them. Jacobo's charge was followed by the remaining in the Battalion to charge headstrong. The fighting became viscous. Jacobo was almost killed in a moment when a Mandalorian had his axe and knocked Jacobo's blaster away. He immediately pulled out his pistol and shot the Mandalore in the head dead on. There was another instance where he would shoot several Mandalorains trying to flank his building by himself as well. His training had payed off as he was able to fire with extreme accuracy. His seasoned men ripped away at the defenseless Mandalores being sandwiched. They either had to charge into the Republic defenses or fight an enemy coming from behind. Soon a massive retreat began from their attack with heavy losses and Jacobo and his men cheered as they chased them away. The colonel came upon the radio and screamed,"JACOBO GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW!" The right flank had been completely overwhelmed and the front line collapsed into a rout. What was left of the division remained in the very center of the city with 4,000 or so left of the original 7,500. Their artillery pieces were all either destroyed or captured. The colonel ordered an all out retreat and said the city was lost. Bitterly Jacobo knew this was true and he retreated with his men quickly. The Mandalorians chased them the rest of the way giving random bursts of fire and artillery fire occasionally getting some of the few unlucky republican soldiers. AT the end of the battle, Jacobo was promoted to Major and he was able to keep the Battalion of seasoned veterans.
Jacobo was proud as he had already done so much. Years would pass with little battles and skirmishes but then the real battle came when he turned 25. He would be transferred to a different planet where he was in command of a 500 man assault with 10 pieces of laser artillery and 10 light tanks and the 50 men of his company that were still alive who he claimed as his personal company. He was charged with a sneak attack on a key Mandalore Village which happened to open the flank for the Mandalorian defense line. Jacobo detailed his attack plan and ordered the light tanks to advance with 20 men per tank. The remaining 300 were split as 200 were assigned to flank the Mandalorian left side of the village. 100 of them remained in reserve to be deployed to help out the frontal advance. Jacobo and his 50 men were going for something else, the Mandalore rear. There were about 500 Mandalorian soldiers in the village with snipers and 6 pieces of laser artillery. They were outnumbered but they also had fortifacations and trenches. The attack began as the 200 man/10 light tanks advanced quickly as the 10 lazer artillery pieces opened fire. The Mandalorians screamed as they opened fire on the Republican assault. Artillery started shredding up the light tanks, knocking out two. Then as the fighting bogged down, the other 200 flanked in on their left and started street to street fighting. They quickly mowed down the unprotected Mandalorians. Then hope came as the frontal assault which bogged down gave them chance to advance. The 100 reserves joined the fight now to help advance the frontal assault as the Mandalorians were pushed back. As all this was happening JAcobo and his men had made themselves all the way around to their rear. Jacobo and his men set up positions in the woods waiting for the Mandalorian retreat. They actually heard vehicles as soon a convoy of an additional 500 Mandalorians were on their way. Jacobo knew this wasn't good. He ordered his men to hold position. He noticed the trucks just kept coming and coming. Jacobo ordered his men to throw a few plasma grenades in front of the trucks. Immediately havoc broke loose as the trucks were flipped and the convoy train started crashing into this havoc. Each convoy could hold 50 Mandalorians at a time. 2 had gotten by and the 3rd and 4th weren't so lucky. the 5th and 6th one burst into the 3rd and 4th. The 7th-10th stopped and got out immediately. JAcobo ordered his troops to open fire as they were in the trees. Jacobo also caused chaos as he picked out men giving orders with his blaster rifle. Each he shot seemed to be officers and his accuracy with blasters helped extremely.The rest of the Mandalorians didn't know what happened and assumed a large ambush was in progress. The remnants immediately flew the battlefield. Later it would be known that 167 got away out of the 400. The first 100 had heard the explosions and fighting and continued to help the defense. The fighting was going good for the REpublic. The remnants of the Mandalorian garrison retreated to their last spot waiting for their reinforcements. Only 100 came and they knew they were done for. Immediately they surrendered not knowing that the force was a lot smaller. Jacobo's force counted to remain at 343 plus the 50 hand picked men, 6 light tanks and 10 laser artillery pieces. He captured 4 of the 6 pieces and 280 of the 500 man garrison and plus the 100 Mandalorian fresh forces. After this stunning feat of heroism, he would be promoted to Colonel.
Years would pass and he would reach the age of 28 on garrison duty. Many times the Mandalorians would attack his city but his Brigade of 2,500 repelled them always. He would go on to study and give orders and not much has changed since.

Colonel Brown approached his 50 or so odd knights he nicknamed the Teutonic Knights. He was being a bit unorthodox referring to the Teutonic Order. Each was given a special suit and helmet making them looking like the traditional knights. Colonel Brown looked at all of them and said,"Teutonic Knights... you are the best of the best. You are the strongest, the bravest that I know of. We have been through great battles together and will never fail to exist. We will always win or die trying." The Teutonic Knights applaud to his words. Colonel Brown smiles and says,"Now go enjoy yourselves, my 5 man staff will meet to discuss our future." The 45 regular Knights ate and drank as Colonel Brown and his 5 man staff met. Colonel Brown opened up,"CAptain Tobias, status report?" Cpt. Tobias,"Sir, morale is excellent, spirit is high, and they think you are god sir." Colonel Brown smirked," Good good..." Colonel Brown spoke softly,"MEn... we will move soon and may be transferred somewhere else, wherever we go, I assure you there will be more action." The 5 men nodded. Colonel Brown," I want you to make sure these men enjoy themselves tonight, it may be their last night to enjoy life." The 5 men grimly nodded and returned to their units. Colonel Brown smiled and polished his repeating blaster and looked over his military papers. He reviewed his extensive fitness, range weapon, and scholar tests in order to remain a Teutonic Knight.
(Sometimes referred to as Jacobo's Knights)
