Jerrit

Jerrit was a native of Mon Calamari, an ocean-covered planet located in the Calamari sector of the Outer Rim Territories. The Mon Calamari served the Galactic Republic as an officer in the Republic Navy during the Mandalorian Wars. This war between the Republic and the resurgent forces of the Mandalorians began in the Outer Rim, where the Mandalorians made a three-pronged assault against the Republic in 3963 BBY. In the aftermath of this assault, known by the Republic media as the "Onslaught," Jerrit received a promotion to the rank of lieutenant for his heroic efforts during the fighting. His promotion, reported in the Jimas Veltraa Memorial Edition of The Admiral's List, an official publication of the Republic Navy, occurred alongside that of notable officer Saul Karath to Rear Admiral. Jerrit was a courageous soldier, and consequently recognized by the Republic Navy for his heroic efforts during the Onslaught.
