Jake was born on the poor planet Tatooine in 36 BBY. His family was very poor. They lived in a tiny shack the size of a shed. The shack contained a bathroom and sleeping bags. He also had an older sister, Cassandra Powerstun, who was 5 years older than him. Jake, Cassandra, and their father, Noa Deltafloater, all lived in that tiny shack. Their mother died when Jake was first born. During that month, Cassandra made a new friend named Selven, who was also 11 years old. They bonded and trained together, becoming best friends.
