Born to smuggler couple on Nar Shaddaa, Riqimo Pershaw
was perhaps the farthest he could be from a noble idea. Once his
family left him at the age of 15, Riqimo was forced to become
a smuggler on his own with an YT-2400 freighter he christianed
the Goden Davk. Throughout his numerous encounters and
exposure to many cultures, Riqimo Pershaw has picked up several
languages and customs, which frequently assisted him bypassing
dock officials. These skills would also lend to his infiltration
skills, very important to a recon squad.
On fateful one day, Riqimo would literally bump
into Brighstar and the two would manage smuggling runs together.
Later they would get a little ambitious and steal the precious
family jewels of a Hutt on Nar Shaddaa, which would put them on
the run from a bounty hunter named Ryan Kiba.
After escapede after escapede, Riqimo would become
stranded on Ando Prime, his ship beyond repair, and in the last
jump he had lost Brightstar. Knowing that he would be safest in
Imperial space, he smuggled himself onto a transport bound for
Tadath and became a citizen there.
The Vast Empire Army would aquire a need for new
recruits and in less than a year will draft Riqimo Pershaw, who
found a job at a local droid shop. Morally opposed to killing,
Riqimo applies for concientious objector status. Denial after
denial, he would finally become a medic with his persistance,
and then be deployed to Tormar.
Through pure self defense, Riqimo would make his
first kill, and although it still haunts him, he realized that
without a weapon he was indeed a burden in the harsh firefights.
Recognition of his efforts is noticed by a certain Stormtrooper
Squad Leader, David 'Buttshot' Riley of Cavalier Squad, who gets
the medic into the Stormtrooper Corps and his squad.
Still on Tormar, Riqimo would serve with this squad
until he was transferred to a newly created Eclipse Squad as a
Trooper. In this squad, he would find numerous moments to shine
and after the first 'real' mission, he found himself the Assistant
Squad Leader. Only several missions later, the Squad Leader, Garet
Daimun, would retire, leaving Eclipse Squad Leader position to
the medic.
During his ASL time, Riqimo was also initiated into
ARC Team Delta, and now finds himself working with ARC Team Lambda.
An amateur painter, Riqimo often spends his off
duty time with a canvas and set of brushes.
