OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
During the recent Jedi and Sith war between the Empire and the Silver, these three happened to be on the same planet as it was being evacuated. The Jedi had been forced to fall back further towards the core worlds, and the Sith pressed their advantage by conquering the worlds that fell into chaos. Having just purchased a new ship, Tallor was unfortunate enough to get caught at the spaceport during the evacuation. People were rushing in all directions, frantically searching for safe passage once the main transports had left. A lot of smugglers had taken this opportunity to make some credits, charging a fee to ferry the poor off world. Tallor's ship didn't have much space, but he accommodated a group of refugees in the cargo hold, along with two others that had actually paid. Both had paid for their passage, and so were allowed to stay in the main cabin of the freighter. One was a strange staff-wielding droid, with only a few hundred credits to its name.
The other was a soldier of some type, and the one who had sought out Tallor in order to get the refugees to safety. With the giant blaster cannon slung on his back, you'd never peg him for the goody-two shoes type. The freighter was packed and ready for takeoff, however it appeared as if a gang of eight bandits had different plans. They had violently made their way to the landing pad, intent on stealing a ship and getting far away from the war front. Their quest was short lived, for the three combatants aboard the freighter united as one, making quick work of the untrained fighting force that had opposed them. After the trip, when all the refugees had departed, the three sat down to discuss their next step. At first they were to part ways as planned, but Ace had a better idea. Working together as a freelance mercenary band, they began to make a steady amount of credits, taking on a plethora of jobs that always kept them on the move.

While able to hold their own together, separated they are much less effective.
