REBEL TIGER MEDAL

For its active involvement in the rescue of Rex Hagen

Spikes was born on Corellia and is the youngest of the three Photts brothers, Rex Hagen and Photts Hagen being the others. The three brothers soon got into smuggling with their friend Bowman.They were wild guys always getting into trouble in various places of the galaxy whether it be Corellia, Kessel, Tatooine, or Hutt Space. These three could never stay out of a good cantina brawl! Eventually, the times caught up with them, when their smuggling operation was busted up by the Imps. Spikes was thrown in the Spice Mines of Kessel, Rex taken prisoner by the Imps. Bowman and Photts were the only ones to escape. Photts eventually joined the Rebellion in the form of SSFW, Bowman linked up with the Hagen family friend ELJEFE, who was commander of the Escort Frigate Miranda and leader of the FTS. Bowman and ELJEFE risked certain doom to rescue Spikes from the Spice Mines. Spikes came out a changed man. Not so much the wild risk taker and partier he once was, but while in the Spice mines he found he had an ability to use the Force as did Rex and Photts, their father had been the son of the famous Jedi Arjax Hagen, but their father never knew of this, it was kept secret to protect the Hagens from the Empire. After his rescue, Spikes trained with Luke Skywalker for about a year. He then joined FTS as a Jedi Knight. He assumed command of the Black Claw a group of Awings. Once set firmly in FTS as a Major, he had unfinished business. There was still the matter of his long lost brother Rex. While FTS was stationed at Bothawui, Spikes his friend Proctor, his brother Photts and his fried Hovington set out to answer a distress call from an Imperial stronghold, it was Rex. He was an Imperial prisoner, they had tried to break him but he would not join them so he was left to rot in prison. These pilots bravely fought the Imperials and rescued Rex. Now that brings us to the present, and who knows what lies ahead!
