BiographyEdit

Galen was a long time agent with the Republic Strategic Information Service. During the Cold War, he was stationed on Coruscant and led the investigation the theft of several Republic secret weapons. Agent Galen was working alongside Doctor Tarnis and General Var Suthra when he met a traveling Jedi Knight and asked for the Jedi's assistance in tracking down the missing superweapons. Galen asked the Knight to assist in hunting down Vistis Garn, who had stolen Republic weapons, munitions, and rockets. The investigation later revealed that Garn was hired by the Black Sun.^[1]

Tracking the Black Sun operatives who had supposedly kidnapped Doctor Tarnis,^[4] the Jedi Knight discovered that Tarnis was in fact a Sith Lord. With this revelation all of the Republic's superweapon projects were in danger.^[5] Galen left Coruscant shortly after that to secure the Power Guard Project on Nar Shaddaa.^[3]

While there, he was captured by the Sith Lord Sadic. Sadic then turned Galen into a power guard himself and forced Galen to obey his commands by punishing him with extreme pain if he refused. In a final act of defiance, Galen turned on Sadic and the other Power Guards. However, they were too powerful and Galen was severely wounded.^[2] Galen would survive, however, and learned how to control his implants with help from the SIS. Using his new abilities, Galen would go deep undercover into Sith space. He contacted the Knight who had saved him and told them about his assignment, thanking the Jedi for showing Galen that he still had something to live for.^[6]
