| - Born in the Outer Rims world of Vanquo, Lanze's early months were rather uneventful, as might be expected. Nearly six months after his birth, his settlement was attacked by a large band of pirates, ones which had been rampaging through nearby space in recent times. After having hid him, his mother and father donned their armour and went into battle, they died defending their child and settlement. By the time Mandalorians arrived from nearby settlements, the pirates had nearly won, and the settlement was gone in flames. The pirates were slaughtered to the last, their vessels appropriated and a message sent to any who would attempt such a thing.
