At the age of 18 Jack signed on board a deep space freighter, wanting to see the wonders of other civilizations and not having been interested in going through Starfleet in order to make his dream a reality. By the age of 22 he had made his way to being the freighter's second in command and had developed a true love of space travel and visiting new worlds.
At the age of 26, and while on shore leave from his freighter duties on a neutral planetary outpost, Jake became involved in a rather brutal bar brawl. During the battle, Jake managed by accident to save the life of another combatant by the name of Erzol Tahl who although survived the fight died later that day due to severe internal injuries. Before dying, Erzol Tahl, in a show of gratitude for Jack's efforts and bravery, passed on the ownership of the STAR OF DESTINY. From that day forth, Jack went into business on his own, running various trade routes, interplanetary fares and whatever else he could find to increase his wealth which he never seemed to be able to hold on to.
After having run into some troubles with non-Federation aligned worlds, Jack began to use aliases in order to continue in his chosen field of work, making friends as well as enemies along the way.
