Jack Nebulax was born in 56 BBY on Zhar, the moon of Gall, to Senator Zaxdis Nebulax and his wife, Sonitha Baral-Nebulax. His father wanted his son to enter into the world of politics, but Jack, realizing that an ancient ancestor had been an admiral in the Republic Navy centuries earlier, wanted to enter into a career in the Judicial Forces, particularly the navy. In 41 BBY, on his 15th birthday, he revealed his intentions to his parents, but they wouldn’t hear of it. They wanted to see their son become a politician, possible even Supreme Chancellor one day.
