Law Enforcement Sergeant Jax Zol grew up in a poor family on the busy planet of 0507 - Nexus. At a young age Jax's father, a support labourer at the Naval base, died under suspicious circumstances while at work, to help his mother make ends meet Jax got mixed up in gang activities, delivering contraband for a few Cr a time. During one of these deliveries he was stopped by the authorities and questioned over his involvement with his gang. He lied to the authorities but didn't get away with it, they saw through the lie and gave him the option of jail time, or to work with them to help infiltrate and ultimately bring the gang to its knees. Thinking of his mother and her dependence on him he agreed to the deal.
The operation went well and ultimately Jax helped the authorities reduce the gangs numbers and their stranglehold on contraband trade, while not rousing suspicion about his involvement. Slowly the delivery work for him dried up as the gang fell apart and at the age of 18 he needed to make a decision. Continue in the life of crime or pursue a career in law enforcement. He chose the latter option.
During his rookie term while investigating a drug ring, Jax ran into an old associate, Zara Nova, from his muling days. They catch up, but when Zara finds out Jax has joined Law Enforcement she attacks him with a knife infused with flesh eating bacteria, slashing into his left arm. He blacked out from the pain and when he woke up in hospital his arm had been amputated to prevent the spread of bacteria.
His second and third terms are predominantly uneventful, he worked his way up the ranks gradually doing the best job he could. During his third term he enlisted in a specialist pilot training programme.
Throughout his career Jax couldn't help but think about his fathers death and the circumstances around it. After his third term he decides to pool his benefits and muster out, getting a Combat Arm installed in place of his amputated arm, and spend 6 months focused on investigating his fathers death.
