Darth Nova was born in an unknown or at least ignored system on the rim of the galaxy called Nal Hutta. From an early age he was sent to work in the imperial mines on Cardooine. He was forced to live with the Mon-Calamarian slave traders - this was a time long before the rebel\empire war. Here he learned to hate those who abused him, the fear and hatred developed here would only serve to prolong his suffering.
Some years later when he was 18 he fought back, he stole a small shuttle-craft and left Cardooine. Although he had managed to escape he didn't know how to pilot the shuttle, set on autopilot the shuttle took him to Ryloth.
It was here on Ryloth that a Sith Lord, Darth Leto, an evil and sinister jedi seduced the mind of the once innocent boy with the power of the dark side of the force. He taught the boy to hate, fear and seek revenge. Darth leto had under-estimated his creation, during lightsaber training the boy saw his chance and struck his master down, he was the master now.
Some years passed and Nova did nothing but train on Ryloth where he had sought sanctuary many years before. The conflict of the rebelion raged on. It was some years before Nova joined the battle, he joined the rebels in combat, although the rebels disliked his methods they were in no position to deny the loners help. The emperor realising Nova's threat ordered Vader to exterminate the jedi.
In arogant fury Nova confronted Vader on the moisture farms of Tatooine, Vader being the more experienced of the two jedi used his sorroundings, opening a steam valve on Nova. Nova's head was boiled leaving him perminantly deformed with patched hair and streched skin. Nova fought on. Vader in a cold rage swung at him and cut out his left eye, Nova fell. Vader beleiving Nova to be dead left for Coruscant.
Nova was found by the moisture farmers and an electronic eye was implanted to replace the one Vader had stolen from him. "Repaired" from battle Nova wen't into hiding untill he resurfessed after the downfall of the empire to face Skywalker...
