Corran Horn was a Forcesensitive Human male Corellian pilot who served as a Corellian Security. This website chronicles the construction of Mike Hoovers Vans Aircraft RV9A experimental airplane kitplane. Each of us who knew him has, in our hearts, dozens and dozens of examples of his bravery or his concern for others, or his ability to see where he was wrong and correct himself. He was not a perfect man, but he was a man who sought to be the best he could be. And while he took pride in being very good, he didnt waste energy in displays of rampant egotism. He just picked out new goals and drove himself forward toward them. Wedge Antilles, in a eulogy for Corran Horn after his presumed deathsrcCorran Horn was a Force sensitive. Humanmale. Corellianpilot who served as a Corellian Security Forceinvestigator, a Rogue Squadronace and New Republic hero, and later a Jedi Master of the New Jedi Order. Born to Nyche and Valin Hal Horn on Corellia, Horn lived his early life unaware that his grandfather was Nejaa Halcyon, a Jedi Master. He followed his father and adoptive grandfather into the Corellian Security Force, where he excelled. However, he came into conflict with his Imperial Intelligenceliaison officer, Kirtan Loor, and eventually fled Corellia after the Battle of Endor in order to evade execution. Horn spent a year lying low on Garqi before saving several locals from the Empire and making the decision to join the New Republic. A highly skilled pilot, Horn joined Rogue Squadron in 6 ABY and became a flightleader. He participated in the captures of Borleias and Coruscant, taking the shields of the latter down and being captured by the Empire in the process. He was incarcerated in the infamous Lusankyaprison, where he resisted Ysanne Isards brainwashing and became the first individual ever to directly escape the prison. On his return, he was hailed as a hero, but on learning that the New Republic would not allow the targeting of Isard for political reasons, he led Rogue Squadron in resigning and waging a guerrilla war against Isards regime on Thyferra. During the course of that campaign, the Bacta War, Horn was married to Mirax Terrik, the love of his life and the daughter of his fathers old rival, Booster Terrik. Horn rejoined the New Republic and continued his career in Rogue Squadron, helping defeat Zsinj and Thrawn and free the Lusankya prisoners. When his wife was kidnapped in 1. ABY, Horn realized he had to tap his Jedi talents to save her, having learned of his familys secret past from Luke Skywalkers investigations several years earlier. He trained at Skywalkers Jedi Praxeum before rescuing Mirax, defeating the Invid pirate gang in the process. Horn balanced his careers as a pilot and Jedi until 1. ABY, when he resigned from the squadron with the rank of colonel after peace was achieved with the Imperial Remnant. Horn served as a Jedi instructor, training his two children, Valin and Jysella, before the Yuuzhan Vong War broke out. Horn served a vital role in the war, defeating. Shedao Shai, the killer of Horns close friend Elegos AKla, in a duel to save Ithor the failure of the Yuuzhan Vong to live up to the terms of the duel shamed Horn and caused him to briefly take a leave of absence from the Jedi. He returned to full service after the Battle of Coruscant, and was crucial to the resolution of the war, helping unlock the mystery of Zonama Sekot. After the war, Horn was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master and became one of the leading Jedi on the Masters Council. He argued for strong relations with the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, and during the Dark Nest Crisis in 3. ABY, he was temporarily put in charge of the Jedi Order. When events on Corellia erupted into a war in 4. ABY, Horn helped steer the Jedi through the crisis as a member of the Jedi Council, even when the Jedi were declared enemies of the state, and saw the Jedi to victory over Darth Caedus, Dark Lord of the Sith. In 4. 3 ABY, when Jedi began succumbing to a strange Force madness, Horns family was stricken with tragedy when his son and daughter both contracted the psychosis and were captured and imprisoned in carbonite by the Galactic Alliance. Biography. Edit. Corellian Security. Edit. Formative years. EditNo one makes a victim of folks Im sworn to protect. Corran Horn, to Iella WessirisrcCorran Horn was born in 1. BBY, the son of Valin Horn, known widely as Hal, and Nyche Horn. Valin Horn was actually the biological son of Nejaa Halcyon, a Jedi Master, but when Halcyon was killed, Valin was adopted by Rostek Horn, a Corellian Security Forcepolice officer who was Halcyons best friend. Rostek married Halcyons wife Scerra as well and, as the Great Jedi Purge began, hid all evidence of Valin Horn, who now went by Hal, as he was a Force sensitive. Corran Horn himself was raised in Coronet City, unaware of any of this history or his own Force sensitivity. As a child, Horn observed his father in some minor meditative exercises and attempted to imitate him. The elder Horn taught him these techniques, telling Horn they were part of a secret game and he must not reveal them to anyone they were, in fact, Jedi exercises. As he grew, his father and grandfather encouraged him to always follow his hunches and to heed any internal sense of discomfort with a situation, knowing that they were manifestations of his Force abilities. Horn entered the Corellian Security Force Academy immediately upon graduating secondary school, where he excelled, setting new recordsmany of them by beating his fathers. He was in the Academy when he heard of the destruction of the Death Star and the warrant placed on Han Solo for his part in it. Horn was left feeling that the smuggler Solo was a blot on Corellias honor, causing the world to be overly associated with smuggling and lawlessness. Horn working undercover in Doaba Guerfel. Around 1 ABY, Horn was present in the Corellian city of Doaba Guerfel investigating the extremely powerful Black Sun crime syndicate as an undercover officer. During that investigation, he became aware that Chandra Conrad was willing to come forward as a witness. However, at that same time, he had to attend a vital Black Sun meeting. Horn had to recruit a trustworthy individual to escort Conrad to a later meeting with him, at which point he was able to deal with her safely. Upon finding that the individual had performed well and unable to move against Black Sun due to his undercover position, Horn engaged his new operative to bring in Obrio Caldori, a mid level Black Sun administrator who was willing to turn states evidence. Caldori quickly turned over major information when he saw how much Horn already knew, and with his evidence, Horn had a major Black Sun figure, Voydd Blancken, arrested. When Boushh and another bounty hunter kidnapped his father after the Battle of Talus, Horn pursued and confronted them with several Corellian Security agents in towexactly as they had planned, hoping to collect a bounty placed on Horns head. The fierce battle degenerated into a stand off, leading the pair to offer to let the elder Horn go if Corran Horn would turn himself over to them. Refusing to allow harm to come to his father, he agreed. Rebel agents later rescued him, along with several Rebel aligned captives, from imprisonment outside Bestine on Tatooine. Around 2 ABY, Horn graduated from the Cor. Sec Academy and became a full officer of the Corellian Security Force. Debunking 9 Classic Myths and Whoppers about Firearms. Ive been around firearms since 1. I can prove. Having been in and around them in the military since 1. I have seen and heard some whoppers told in my time. In this article I would like to debunk some firearms myths with facts, figures and my personal experience as an instructor of this very cliquish yet globally popular martial art. Myth 1 Caliber Matters. First off lets talk caliber. Let me say that this is one of the hottest topics out there and is bandied about with much fanfare and supposition on all sides by experts and non experts. Here are some facts and figures that actually do matter. A. 2. 2 has killed plenty of people. So have a. 3. 2, a. Sig,. 4. 0 and a. Bullet type ball vs. The common term Stopping power, is more a measurement of energy and has nothing to do with a dynamic target such as the human body. Shot placement is key. The cavity a bullet can make in a block of gelatin, wet phone books, or a water jug, has very little to do with what it can do in a diversely dense target such as the human body. The human body has differential densities i. All of these affect how the bullet performs. What does all this mean Well, if you plan on using your firearm in a deadly force engagement then you better know how to use it and where you need to hit them. Do I carry a. 2. No, but I dont walk around loaded for warrant service when I go to the store for a gallon of milk either. Pick the right tool for the job, I wouldnt want to use the 1. I wouldnt want to drive tent stakes into hard earth with the brass hammer either. If you need to and can comfortably conceal carry a. Im not and dont need to. While a majority of the time a full size P 2. Sig is my carry option, occasionally in the heat and humidity of FL and the relatively safe lifestyle and area I live in, the Walther P 2. Myth 2 Firearms Experts. Next lets discuss Firearms Experts. Believe it or not I sold appliances, lawn equipment, and was considered an expert by the company I worked for when I wore an orange apron. My training consisted of reading some training manuals for 3. Heres the newsflash, most gun stores dont even do that and there is no way you could begin to become an expert in this manner. I have been around guns for a long time and dont consider myself an expert and almost never recommend a weapon to a student until I have a chance to know them and see what their needs and physical abilities might be. So why can I walk into a majority of gun Stores, pawn shops or Gun shows and get a recommendation on the perfect gun for me in less than 3. Answer Because they are trying to sell gunsHeres another from the experts, send a female into a gun shop or gun show and see how many recommendations for a. Ill wait. Ergonomically a revolver takes more grip strength to hold because of the rounded back strap requiring the pinkie and ring fingers to squeeze much tighter in order to manage the flip of the recoil. Also teaching anyone to reload a revolver versus an automatic is easier and less time consuming, yet most experts will treat a female like a 3 year old that cant accomplish such a complicated task. Does the 9. 8 lb. No but thats not to say that with proper technique and weapon she couldnt accomplish the mission. Myth 3 Dryfiring Damages Weapons. Lets move on to a more recent statement I heard from an expert here in my area, which also brings up another age old debate. I took a client to a local range for the shooting portion of the FL CCW. We were browsing the weapons and I was giving general info on different weapons based on the clients needs and wants. We asked to see a specific weapon and the gentleman behind the counter notice I said behind the counter at a gun range, by most accounts this makes him an expert obliged us. The conversation turned to trigger pull and he made a statement that blew me away. He said, and I quote, I never dry fire my weapon, it will damage them. Lordy, lordy, lordy Really What rock have you been under for the past 4. The Marine Corps has made dry firing an art form with a week of Boot camp devoted to it, every competitor out there advocates it and I advise everyone in all my classes to do so in a safe and secure manner with the weapon and ammo in separate rooms of the house, the lawyers made me add this part. I cant think of a better way to work on trigger control, which in my estimation is about 9. Yet here we have an expert in his field, someone whom I know is an instructor at this establishment, spreading a vicious rumor to a neophyte. Upon hearing this, my client will think this is gospel unless I dispel this rumor quickly before it takes hold in a recess of his brain. I did so vehemently and quickly upon exiting the range. These off hand statements can hurt the industry and promulgate these myths that I run into everyday. Myth 4 Im a Great ShotThis usually means I can hit the bulls eye more times than not with little to no pressure and no time hacks. Is this a good thingSure, if you are a professional target shooter. However, if you are carrying a gun for defensive purposes then it bears little on being able to FIGHT with a gun. Myth 5 A insert gun here isnt very accurateUnless youre talking about a Hi Point or a Lorcin the gun you have will most definitely shoot better than 9. This is a fact that can be proven time and time again. Good ammo and a brand name gun will be a better shooting package than most of us out there can use, unless your name is JJ Racaza. Myth 6 I know how to shoot Im a Police officer, Marine. Fill in the BlankWhile this line of thinking initially makes sense, I have seen countless people that should be able to shoot well and carry a gun for a living that are absolutely horrible at gun fighting. On the opposite side of that, I know guys that are desk jockeys, lawyers and computer nerds that possess gun fighting skills that are phenomenal. You want to know what the military teaches 9. Discipline and firearms safety, which has more bearing on your ability to learn gun fighting than gun fighting itself. Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Working more. The next time you hear this take it with a grain of salt. Myth 7 KneelingModern IsoscelesMonicainsert technique here isnt comfortable. WTF ITS A GUNFIGHT I assure you that getting shot is a lot less comfortable. Is everything supposed to be comfortable and naturalIf at all possible, sure, but the mission is to shoot him before he shoots you. End of story, suck it up Myth 8 I cant shoot a insert gun here because of the grip angle. Really Put the front sight on the target and pull the trigger until the threat is gone. Im not a Glock fan but they shoot. See the myth above this one. Myth 9 Guns need to be cleaned every time they are fired. UmmmNo Keep them well lubed and you will be just fine. Modern weapons run like sewing machines for the most part. My days of white glove inspections went the way of my 6 pack abs. This is article was more or less getting some of the b.
