Bob was born on Dahvil in the Rayter sector, seven years before the Battle of Yavin. In 15 ABY, he left the planet to join the New Republic. After military training, he became a SpecOps commando. Bob did several missions, both solo and as part of a squad. Eventually, his extreme precision and apparent luck eventually got the attention of the Jedi. In 24 ABY, tests showed him to be Force-sensitive.
