-=Subject: Ranson Ehi=-

Ranson Ehi was born on Naboo to Rendgo and Caer Ehi, members of the middle class of Naboo.  Ranson excelled in school during his younger years, and began to take interest in biology and medicine as he grew older.  Passing most of his classes with flying colors, he was accepted to the Theed University of Medicine.  When he left home, both his parents moved back to Bothawui, saying they wanted the support of their clan as they grew older.  Over the next few years, Ranson traveled the galaxy, experiencing new things and learning the field. 

After 6 years studying at the University and abroad, Ranson got a Job at the Royal Theed Hospital.  However, after only a year and a half working in the city, he grew bored and longed for the excitement of his travels.  So he left his colleagues in Theed, and headed for the backwater planet of Tatooine, where he heard there was a new township starting up.  He landed in Bestine, where he retrieved his medical and weapons licenses from city hall.  He headed to the shuttleport, where he fetched a ticket for Mos Entha, where the excursion was gathering.

After hearing about the harsh, lawless conditions on Tatooine, he had picked up a long barreled, gas powered tranquilizer rifle, figuring he could use it on any crazys.  On the shuttle ride over, he had it in his lap, slowly engraving a small medical cross on it. 

He landed in Entha, and headed outside the shuttle port.  Carrying a duffel of medical supplies and a backpack of personal items, he headed to the cantina.  He was worried that his tranquilizer rifle would be conspicuous in the cantina, however when he entered the door he was confronted by a sea of scum, with everybody carrying guns and weapons of every sort.  He made his way through the crowd to the back, where he found a group of people sitting around one of the bigger tables, talking quietly.  He set down his bag and quietly asked, "Excuse me, are you the people going on the ... urm, excursion?" a shaken looking rodian responded,"Yeah, but keep your voice down, don't want to attract attention."  As everybody got up to head to their dwellings for the night, the rodian took him aside, "So, you're the doctor right?" "Yeah, guess so..." "Alright well, good luck", Ranson looked quizzically at the ceiling after hearing that, he said, "Uh, you too?", and turned to the rodian, but he had already stepped out the door. 

The next morning, they met up just outside the city. It was announced that there was another group waiting in the next town.  They headed out by foot.  It was about an hours walk for Ranson, who had joined up with the lead group, even with the burning suns.  The rear group arrived about half and hour later.  The two groups met up in the cantina, which wasn't crowded at all.  They stayed there until sunset, when the temperature dropped enough to make this long section of the journey.  It was a long march, and they had to fight off several large creatures.  Finally, they made it to a flat, open, barren area.  The Rodian looked at the piece of paper he had been leading with, and muttered, "We're here."

Soon they had established their city hall, named the city Jubinloo, and all of the citizens had permanent residences.  Ranson had been busy setting up the medical center, and had shipped in several advanced machines.  His house remained barren, with only a bantha skin bed in the corner of the back room, and 2 chairs and a table in the front.  Over the next few years, Ranson mostly lived in the Medical center, with his house remaining nearly the same, with a few storage cabinets, a stove, and a refrigerator unit.  What little free time he had, he spent in the pub, chatting up his friends.  In the town as a whole, he became the quintessential town doctor, modest, friendly, but always open to solving fights in town with his trusty tranquilizer rifle. He also gained his famous line, which he frequently used after saving a life or such. "Just doing my Job"

After a few happy years in Jubinloo, tragedy inevitably struck.  Ranson was away in Theed, acquiring new equipment for the medical center when he got an emergency call from a town policeman, Daceh, who told him to return immediately.  Ranson left the shipment in Theed and got a ride back to Tatooine.  Upon his arrival, he initially found nothing left of the city.  He walked around, until he stubbed his tow on something where city hall had been.  He figured it was the foundations, but dug down anyways.  He just dug down on the edge of this wall, until he tired, and was about to leave the hole, when something caught his eye.  Scraping away some sand, he saw the sign that sat above the entrance to city hall, it read "JUBINLOO" in big letters.  The strange thing was that it was still attached to the wall.  Then it occurred to Ranson that everything was just buried.  He ran off to try to find anybody who was left.  He stumbled upon some of the survivors and others who had been away during the event.

Daceh said that it was the tuskens (who had had on and off fights with the Jubinlooians since the foundation of the city), they had planted a bomb in the town square, which had exploded, demolishing most of the nearby buildings, except city hall because of it's size, and throwing up so much sand that it buried the rest.  They assumed the rest of the people in the town had either been killed by the bomb, the tuskens, or taken prisoner.  However way you put it, Jubinloo was dead.

The survivors worked for the next few weeks, living in tents, to recover the valuables in their buried houses.  Ranson borrowed some money from his parents to have a shuttle ship out most of the heavy equipment from the medical center.

Back in Mos Entha, the friends and towns people said there good byes, as they left Jubinloo behind and headed back to where they came from.  Ranson slowly walked onto the passenger shuttle, thinking of all the close friends he had lost.  He returned to work in Theed, where his experience with the constant injuries in such a backwater town such as Jubinloo, had taught him well, and he was better at some procedures than many of the attending surgeons and doctors.  Even though he had been forever saddened by Jubinloo, he still wanted that adventurous feeling he got from working abroad.  Over the years he worked in small outposts and towns on Dantooine and Correllia and Talus and Rori, but never Tatooine, never again.  However, all these towns seemed to be poorly led and collapsed after a few months to a year, nothing compared to Jubinloo. 

After losing hope and returning again to Theed, he received a call from an old acquaintance in theed from before he left for Tatooine, a fellow bothan named Zurthas.  He said that some fellows he knew were setting up a promising town on Dantooine, and they'd probably be needing a doctor.  Ranson sighed into the microphone, closed his eyes and said, "Sure, I'll do my job."

Ranson Ehi is currently working as a field doctor and running an aid station in the town of Yamborra, on Dantooine.
