FN-2199

Early Life
I served in the First Order in the decades after the Galactic Civil War. Training in the FN Corps alongside FN-2000 ("Zeroes"), FN-2003 ("Slip"), and FN-2187 ("Eight-Seven"), I took the nickname "Nines" because I liked the sound of it. We trained under Captain Phasma, practicing in simulated combat for most of their lives. During our first deployment, FN Corps was brought to the mining facility in Pressy's Tumble, an asteroid field, and ordered to kill the workers that had gone on strike. Initially reluctant, I followed as ordered once Slip and Zeroes opened fire.

First Order-Resistance conflict
Battle on Takodana

Me preparing to engage Finn in battle.

During the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance, Kylo Ren of the Knights of Ren sought part of a map that led to Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, who had vanished years earlier. The map was held by the astromech droid BB-8, who the First Order tracked to the castle of the pirate Maz Kanata on the planet Takodana. I was one of many First Order soldiers who were deployed to follow Ren to Takodana and assault the castle. During the ensuing battle, I encountered FN-2187—then known as "Finn"—who had defected from the First Order and was helping to bring BB-8 to the Resistance. I fought against Finn, who wielded a Jedi lightsaber, by utilizing my handy dandy Z6 riot control baton. I gained the upper hand against Finn in single combat and nearly struck a blow against the defector, but was shot by Han Solo, who used Chewbacca's bowcaster, thus ending the fight and wounding me.
