The Kel Dor was born to an adoptive family who lived on Hapes and adopted children around the galaxy to hopefully get a better life for them. Rick was the oldest of his brothers and sisters. From there he started working at a local ship repair shop for locals in the area of Hapes. Rick Olie started flying when he was a kid earning a reputation as "Reckless Rick" for his hot-rodding flights through the skies of Hapes. Rick went back to where he was welcomed the best, Hapes Consortium. The King offered a job with the Navy but was able to join the Marines as Fleet Commanding Officer.
