Kale was born on Corellia to Jack and Dani Degan, respected CorSec officers. He grew up a normal child, attending school beginning at the age of 5 and being one of the smarter kids in class. After he graduated from high school, he enrolled into the CorSec academy, where he began training as a pilot. Kale excelled in the classes, graduating 3rd in the class of 112. After serving a good four years in the force, he became bored. He left for Tatooine where he did some work for a few Hutts before he began to look into more enjoyable work.
