Born and raised on Calamari, Ackbar was abducted by the Imperials and made a servant to Grand Moff Tarkin.  For years he overheard Tarkin's plans and strategies until he was rescued by a Rebel attack force.  He entered the Alliance and his knowledge of battle tactics got him promoted to Admiral.  He serves the New Republic faithfully.  Only once has he shirked his duty, when he crashed into the Cathedral of the Winds on Vortex and resigned, only to return to duty shortly thereafter.  He now serves the New Republic as the head of the New Republic Armed Forces.
