Brought to the Coruscant Jedi Temple at a young age like most of his contemporaries, Shaptives graduated from the Jedi academy and was eventually knighted following his successful completion of the Jedi Trials. As a Knight, Shaptives pursued study in the ways of the Guardians, becoming a ace pilot and joining the Jedi Starfighter Corps. Ascending to the rank of Master, Shaptives met the young Anakin Skywalker following the Battle of Naboo. Hearing of Skywalker's successful assault on a Trade Federation Droid Control Ship, Master Shaptives presented Skywalker with an honorary patch worn by members of the Corps.
