Paxi Sylo was a Human male born to parents Griggen and Tashna Sylo on a large outback farm on the Outer Rim planet of Dantooine between the years 30 BBY and 31 BBY. He was the youngest of seven children, and his entire family harvested tritacale and yot beans to supply a larder for food for the family and to sell off-world, as they had done for ten generations. During his childhood, Sylo enjoyed writing down adventures on his datapad and spare flimsiplast. He was told stories of Jedi Knights and the Clone Wars, a conflict between the Galactic Republic and the seceded Confederacy of Independent Systems, but Dantooine was so far away from the conflict that the stories might as well have been fiction.
