Mario "PtJedi" Dominguez was a Portuguese player in the early Star Wars Combine. Alongside Fizzban and Veynom, he was an instrumental figure in the creation of the simulation in December 1998. Before the creation of the Combine, PtJedi was a respected member of the now-defunct "Star Wars Sim" (SWSIM). In the days of SWSIM, PtJedi served in the Galactic Empire as a Lieutenant of Escort Company. This company was a subdivision of the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet led by Commodore Gorn Veynom. During this period, Veynom and PtJedi became friends.
