Gerd Jorel

Gerd Jorel is a Corulagian native and commander of the 4th Regiment of the 222nd Legion, stationed in Iziz.

Personal History
His parents were low-level civil servants on Corulag, his father a civil engineer and his mother a pilot on one of the suborbital transit lines. Their experiences informed Gerd's, and as he came up he was known to speak glowingly of his parents, his father in particular.

The two of them put their son through university, where he studied engineering. A lifetime spent around his father paid dividends as he passed his engineering courses with excellent marks. Graduation with his grades paved the way to a comfortable living in Corulag's booming construction and maintenance industries.

When the Clone Wars broke out, the need for engineers in the Republic skyrocketed. Designing weapons, defenses, emplacements, vehicles, and spacecraft became premium professions, and Jorel sought to join the effort. He enrolled in the Corulag Military Academy when able, and earned a commission as an officer in the engineering corps.

Traveling in the wake of the Grand Army of the Republic made Captain Jorel a well-traveled and well-spoken individual, and while he rebuilt the galaxy where the war laid it to waste he made many connections-- connections that came in handy when the war ended. Captain Jorel earned a promotion to Colonel Jorel and an assignment to Onderon, where he took part in the reconstruction of Iziz after the CIS occupation and the construction of the Imperial Quarter.

As the clones were rotated out of leadership roles, Commander Parneig received word that the 4th Regiment would be placed under the command of the new Colonel. The two Corulagians got on famously despite the contentious nature of Colonel Jorel's assignment to the 222nd. Colonel Jorel is still involved in the construction work in the Imperial Quarter, and his 4th Regiment is garrisoned within the walls as a permanent guarding force.
