JulyEdit

July 1, 2009 – Darlyn BodaEdit

Darlyn Boda was a criminal trading planet originally settled by the Galactic Republic, in the distant Darlyn Boda system of the Anoat sector, located at the far end of the Corellian Trade Spine in the Outer Rim Territories. Known for its humid, twisting jungles, bubbling mud pits, hanging clouds of steam, and a place where the credit was king, Darlyn Boda was a lawless world complementing perfectly the Greater Javin region in which it rested, an area of space negatively publicized for its pirate activity. Although Darlyn Boda fell under Imperial control during the Galactic Civil War, the planet played host to a number of groups, including the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the crime syndicate Black Sun, and the Bounty Hunters Guild. In 3 ABY, the bounty hunters Zuckuss and 4-LOM delivered a group of Echo Base refugees from the Battle of Hoth, including Toryn Farr, to Darlyn Boda's large Rebel underground.

July 2, 2009 – Dusty DuckEdit

The Dusty Duck was a light freighter designed by and utilized by Dym, a Pa'lowick smuggler residing on Nar Shaddaa during the Republic Classic era. The craft was notoriously unreliable, would often sputter to a halt in space, and made involuntary and abrupt descents to many barren worlds. The smuggler was assisted in his piloting by his daughter, Aneesa Dym. When the elder Dym was murdered by a client, Aneesa became the sole owner of the craft. She took the Dusty Duck on a pan-galactic hunt for her father's killer.

Eventually, her quarry was killed by Rango Tel, an aspiring but inexperienced bounty hunter from Sernpidal. As a sign of gratitude, she gave Tel her ship and offered him her services as a pilot. He agreed, and together they set off on a search for Tel's next target, Kam Nale. Nale proved elusive, but the pair eventually tracked him to Mos Espa, Tatooine. While Dym had a set of DUM-series pit droids maintained the ship, Tel hunted his quarry and was killed in the process. The Pa'lowick, not knowing her friend's fate, was murdered on the same day by Darth Maul, a Sith Lord who had been hunting Queen Amidala of Naboo, and had thought that the Dusty Duck was the monarch's transport. The ship would remain parked outside Mos Espa for the rest of its days.

July 3, 2009 – Shadow trooperEdit

Clone shadow troopers were an elite cadre of clone troopers, devised by Director Armand Isard of Republic Intelligence during the Clone Wars. Since the numbers of the Advanced Recon Commandos were dwindling, Isard created the shadow troopers as a reconnaissance unit, who, with the benefit of greatly modified and expensive armor, could operate covertly and undercover. Using magseals installed in their armor, shadow troopers could attach plates to themselves that could pass them off as mercenaries belonging to certain factions. With that advantage, they could infiltrate facilities and gather intelligence with ease.

During the late stages of the war, the role of the shadow trooper expanded, with some performing sniper duties, while others would be used on the battlefield. Though their jamming systems would prevent them from working alongside standard troopers, shadow troopers were occasionally dispatched before large-scale invasions to install jamming devices in key cities, which would allow their comrades to infiltrate their targets with stealth and efficiency. Shadow troopers saw later use in the Galactic Empire as guards to both facilities and individuals. In particular, Inquisitor Valin Draco enlisted a group of the troopers for his expedition to the Almas Academy. The shadow troopers would later become the model on which storm commandos and shadow stormtroopers were based.

July 4, 2009 – Kapp DendoEdit

Kapp Dendo was a male Devaronian who served as one of the Alliance to Restore the Republic's most respected intelligence agents during the Galactic Civil War. Dendo was often teamed with another agent, named Winter, whose holographic memory and analytical skills complemented Dendo's ability to blend into the underworld.

The two worked together alongside Rogue Squadron on Tatooine after the Battle of Endor, securing an Imperial weapons cache from a criminal named Firith Olan. After that mission, Dendo was given control of his own elite squad, Commando Team One. The team was placed undercover on Brentaal IV in the months that followed, and alongside several members of Rogue Squadron, Dendo was able to sabotage an Imperial defense platform in the wake of a New Republic invasion.

Later, he worked in conjunction with the Rogues on Ciutric IV, retrieving former Imperial Grand Vizier Sate Pestage from Empress Ysanne Isard's soldiers. The mission went awry, however, after Admiral Delak Krennel and an Interdictor Cruiser were sent to Ciutric by the Imperial Ruling Council, preventing the New Republic operatives from escaping. Dendo and the Rogues lost several personnel, while Pestage was killed by Krennel after refusing to leave the planet with Commando Team One. Dendo later became a colonel, and continued to serve through the Thrawn campaign, when Grand Admiral Thrawn launched a major offensive on New Republic territory. After Thrawn's demise, he participated in the campaign against Imperial warlord Delak Krennel, fighting in the battles of Liinade III and Ciutric IV. He was later appointed a general, serving in the Yuuzhan Vong War at the Battle of Ithor.

July 5, 2009 – Valin Horn ("Hal")Edit

Valin Horn was a Corellian survivor of the Great Jedi Purge who became a noted Corellian Security Force officer. Born Valin Halcyon, the secret son of Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon, he was apprenticed to his father, who died shortly after the Clone Wars. When the Jedi Purge began, Nejaa's former Corellian Security partner and best friend, Rostek Horn, married Scerra Halcyon and adopted young Valin, whose name became Valin Horn, though he went almost exclusively by the nickname Hal Horn, a sly reference to Halcyon. Rostek hid all evidence of the family's Jedi past, and Valin Horn went on to marry Nyche Horn and father a son, Corran.

Horn became a CorSec officer just like his adoptive father, and excelled in the position. He quickly became an Inspector, and his tenacity and investigative skill became legendary. He developed a longstanding rivalry with smuggler Booster Terrik, eventually catching him, and with Moranda Savich, the pursuit of whom got Horn into a sticky situation on Darkknell. In 2 ABY, Horn was joined by his son Corran in CorSec, but lost his wife to a landspeeder accident.

Later that year, Horn and his son successfully captured Zekka Thyne, the head of Black Sun on Corellia. In 3 ABY, Horn was killed by the bounty hunter Bossk. Corran strongly suspected that he had been deliberately assassinated, but could never identify who had ordered it. A message Horn had recorded for his son enabled Corran to eventually train as a Jedi, becoming a Jedi Master in the New Jedi Order.

July 6, 2009 – Dhagon GhentEdit

Dhagon Ghent was a male Human who served with Mandalorian forces during the Mandalorian Wars alongside future Mandalore Canderous Ordo. By the year 3,951 BBY, he had become a doctor, living on the world of Onderon with his own private practice located near the Iziz Cantina, within the capital city of Iziz. That same year, he was arrested by the Onderon military in the wake of the murder of Captain Sullio, who had been a friend of his for some time previously. Misunderstanding the mechanics of their relationship, the investigating officers assumed that the heated argument that occurred between them was the motive. When the Jedi Exile visited Iziz during her quest to find the Jedi Masters who had originally exiled her, specifically Master Kavar, she found evidence sufficient to prove that Ghent was not the one responsible for Sullio's demise. To show his appreciation for what she had done for him, Ghent set up a meeting between the Exile and the former Jedi Council member Kavar, who had been serving Queen Talia as an adviser prior to and during the Onderon Civil War.

July 7, 2009 – Corla MetonaeEdit

Corla Metonae was the Chief Petty Officer on the CR90 corvette Tantive IV. In service to the royal house of her homeworld of Alderaan, Metonae, a member of the House of Antilles, served aboard the Tantive IV under her uncle, Captain Raymus Antilles, during the early years of the Galactic Empire. In her original role as bosun and petty officer, she was placed in charge of the corvette's escape pods.

During a routine test of the pods, the Tantive IV came under attack from pirates from the Karthakk system. As a result, the ship was forced to flee and abandon its launched pods, one of which contained the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. Following the incident, Metonae was reassigned to Project: Another Chance, which concerned Alderaan's disarmament following the Clone Wars. Despite interference from the Empire, the project was a success, and Metonae was reassigned back to the Tantive IV. She perished in 0 BBY when the craft was boarded and destroyed by the forces of Lord Darth Vader.

July 8, 2009 – Daine JirEdit

Daine Jir was a bold and outspoken 501st Legion stormtrooper officer, serving under Darth Vader aboard the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Devastator as a commander during the hunt for the stolen Death Star plans in 0 BBY. Jir—part of a family that had donated a genetic template for the Imperial stormtrooper development program—started out as a combat stormtrooper in the 501st, but later proved himself to be a competent and ruthless officer. However, many suspected he would not last long under Vader's command after he called one of the Dark Lord's decisions into doubt. Vader was impressed with Jir's brutal honesty, and promoted him instead of killing him.

In 0 BBY, Jir led a contingent of the 501st in an attack on the CR90 corvette Tantive IV, on which Vader believed Senator Leia Organa had received transmissions containing the Death Star plans. The 501st picked off the Rebel forces aboard the ship and captured Organa, but despite a thorough comb through the corvette no trace of the plans could be found. Jir was tasked with destroying the ship and alerting the Imperial Senate that it had been lost in a meteorite strike.

July 9, 2009 – 181st Imperial Fighter GroupEdit

The 181st Imperial Fighter Wing was an elite TIE unit serving the Galactic Empire and its descendants. At its height under the Empire, it was a three-squadron unit known as the 181st Imperial Fighter Group and distinguished by the red bloodstripes that marked the wings of its TIE interceptors. Initially the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing of the Galactic Empire, it suffered from an abysmal reputation. Commanded by Colonel Evir Derricote, the 181st had lax discipline and low morale. It enjoyed a significant improvement with the arrival of Captain Soontir Fel in 0 BBY. Fel took command of the second squadron of the wing and quickly whipped it into shape with intense discipline and drilling.

When called to fight in the Second Battle of Ord Biniir, Fel's squadron significantly outperformed its Rebel opposition. It so happened that the battle occurred on the same day as the Imperial loss at the Battle of Yavin, and the success at Ord Biniir was propagandized heavily. Fel was promoted and the unit was downsized to a flight group of three squadrons and completely reformed with an elite roster. While Derricote remained in command, Fel was the true force behind the unit's success as it became one of the Empire's premier flight groups.

Fel took formal command in 3 ABY, when he was promoted to colonel and given the title of Baron of the Empire. Fel led the 181st for another two years before he was captured by the New Republic during the 181st's defeat at the Battle of Brentaal IV. Turr Phennir became the unit's commander, continuing to lead it through the turbulent times of the Empire's fall, becoming a general in the Imperial Remnant and finding the 181st a place there. The organization survived the changeover from the Remnant to the revived Galactic Empire, serving Fel's descendant Emperors, eventually being reorganized as a wing once more.

July 10, 2009 – Duel on TythonEdit

The Duel on Tython was a lightsaber battle that took place in 990 BBY between the surviving Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane and his apprentice Darth Zannah, against a group of five pursuing Jedi led by Jedi Lord Valenthyne Farfalla. The duel took place on the Jedi birth-world of Tython, in the massive fortress of the long-dead Sith Lord Belia Darzu.

The duel ensued just after Darth Zannah arrived on Tython to warn her Sith Master Darth Bane that the Jedi were aware of their existence. Intent on destroying the last of the Sith, Lord Farfalla and his Jedi followed them to Tython and stormed the temple of Belia Darzu, engaging the two Sith Lords in combat. What followed was an intense display of lightsaber technique and Force ability from all involved. The battle was fierce, and though they had strength in numbers, the Jedi would not survive the day. When the duel ended, all five Jedi were dead, and Darth Bane lay seriously injured, on the very threshold of death.

July 11, 2009 – Aruk Besadii AoraEdit

Aruk Besadii Aora, known to most as Aruk the Great, was a Hutt crime lord and the leader of the Besadii kajidic for over fifteen years before the Battle of Yavin. Around 100 BBY, he birthed a child, Durga, who had a large birthmark on one side of his face; Aruk's peers implored him to kill his child, feeling the birthmark made him impure and unworthy to be a Hutt. However, Aruk grew to love his child and kept Durga, training him to become his heir.

Around 15 BBY, Aruk and his brother Zavval concocted a scheme to lure disheartened sentients to the planet Ylesia, claiming that it was a religious pilgrimage—in fact, it was a slaving and spice-producing operation. The entire operation was extremely lucrative, allowing Besadii to overtake its traditional rivals, Desilijic, as the most successful of the Hutt clans. Desilijic's leaders, Jiliac and Jabba, eventually grew tired of being outshone by Aruk and had him killed via a slow-acting poison. A distraught Durga sought the help of Black Sun to learn the identities of his father's killers and avenged Aruk personally when he killed Jiliac. Durga was indebted to Black Sun for its help, though, and much of the criminal empire built by Aruk went over to Black Sun's leader, Xizor. Aruk's only offspring was eventually killed by the New Republic in 12 ABY after attempting to build his own superweapon, the Darksaber.

July 12, 2009 – The Drunk SideEdit

The Drunk Side, also known as the Dreshdae Cantina, was a cantina located within the settlement of Dreshdae on the planet Korriban, in operation during the Jedi Civil War. The cantina's bartender, who also managed the establishment, was the Rodian Mika Dorin; he had taken over from the bar's previous owner, who had run afoul of Czerka Corporation over the establishment's operations. Along with spacers and freighter crews who ferried Sith artifacts from the surface, many of the instructors from the nearby Sith Academy would stop by the establishment. Yuthura Ban was the most common face present, often staying there when visiting the colony. While there, she gave final approval to Sith hopefuls who had been given medallions, which signified their worthiness to attend the Academy. When the former Dark Lord of the Sith Revan, who had been mindwiped and retrained by the Jedi Council, came to Korriban in 3,956 BBY, he met with Ban at the cantina, gaining her sponsorship to attend the Academy. The cantina was also home to Mika's under-the-table business that sold "premium items," such as prototype Verpine shields and life support packs to special customers.

July 13, 2009 – BarukkaEdit

Barukka was a female Dathomiri, a former Nightsister, and the sister of the Nightsister leader Gethzerion. The daughter of the Singing Mountain Clan's leader, Augwynne Djo, she turned to the dark side of the Force but was able to break away from its influence and exiled herself. She petitioned unsuccessfully to rejoin her original clan, and was subsequently tormented mentally by Gethzerion, slowly being driven insane.

After being approached by Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker to find parts for the Millennium Falcon, Barukka was able to start redeeming herself. Skywalker helped her overcome her guilt, and she was able to return to the light side after Gethzerion was killed by the Imperial warlord, Zsinj. After Barukka completed the redemption process, she was able to return to her clan.

July 14, 2009 – Conclave on DenebaEdit

The Conclave on Deneba was a Jedi convocation that took place during the Krath Holy Crusade of the Great Sith War, held on the planet Deneba in 3,997 BBY. The gathering of Jedi was called in response to the growing threat of the dark side that was previously thought to have been eliminated on Onderon during the Freedon Nadd Uprising a year earlier. Nearly ten thousand in number, the Jedi gathered in an amphitheater in the valley at the foot of Deneba's Mount Meru, where the spokesman for the Jedi Council, a Master named Odan-Urr, spoke of an ancient prophecy that stated that the legendary Dark Lords of the Sith would return to the forefront of galactic events. Many other Jedi spoke at the event, including Ulic Qel-Droma who brought forward the controversial idea of infiltration of the Sith-inspired Krath from within. Qel-Droma's idea was immediately met with scorn from many of the Jedi present, including his former Master Arca Jeth, as well as the aged Jedi Master Shayoto. The conclave was then brought to recess, allowing many of the later arrivals to situate themselves as the meeting began again.

One such latecomer was the Krevaaki Master Vodo-Siosk Baas, who arrived just as a surprise attack, initiated by the Sith-inspired Krath, interrupted the assembly with a bombardment of life-pods. The pods contained deadly Krath war droids, which, upon release, began to attack the assembly. The ensuing battle resulted in the deaths of many Jedi, including the Arkanian Jedi Master Arca Jeth, as well as further influencing Ulic's choice of infiltration. In spite of the numerous warnings against such action, Ulic indeed pursued the Krath, to their home of Koros Major.

July 15, 2009 – BoushhEdit

Boushh was a successful male Ubese bounty hunter active around the time of the formation of the Galactic Empire. Known for his melee skills and penchant for thermal detonators, Boushh was considered cool-headed in a profession often filled with trigger-happy mercenaries, and operated as a freelancer traveling from system to system looking for work. He wore a suit of customized Ubese armor—layers of brown survival material and an optically-enhanced helmet which both provided him with protection and obscured his identity. Although he made sure to never officially join the Bounty Hunters Guild, Boushh worked for Crimson Nova, a sect of the Guild dedicated to hunting fugitive Jedi. During the Great Jedi Purge, he helped hunt Jedi Knight Kai Justiss alongside bounty hunters Zuckuss and Breela.

After that, Boushh began to work mainly for Black Sun, the largest criminal syndicate in the galaxy. In 18 BBY, he was sent to hunt down Kodo and Aleema Finn on Coruscant, but was intercepted by Jedi Padawan Drake Lo'gaan. Lo'gaan and Boushh fought, but ultimately allied together when hordes of Imperial stormtroopers raided the building. Lo'gaan escaped and Boushh was apprehended, but he was later released. Many years later, around 3 ABY, Boushh captured a Nimbanel for Black Sun, but in doing so spent a considerable amount of credits. He bartered with Xizor for a 50% greater payment; this was a mistake, as Xizor, feeling Boushh was becoming a hindrance, had his Human replica droid, Guri, kill the Ubese. Boushh's trademark armor was later used by Leia Organa on missions to infiltrate Coruscant and Jabba's Palace.

July 16, 2009 – Cane AdissEdit

Cane Adiss was a pilot and smuggler who worked for Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Raised on the planet Yuvern in the Oplovis sector, Adiss constantly dreamed of traveling across the galaxy as a pilot, much to the dismay of his parental collective. Upon his coming of age, Adiss signed on with the trader Kal'Falnl C'ndros. Under C'ndros's tutelage, Adiss became a skilled pilot, and the pair eventually parted ways on the desert world of Tatooine. Hoping to change his own destiny and purchase a ship of his own, he boastfully advertised his "expertise" to a crime lord named Jabba, and landed a job in the Hutt's criminal empire as a smuggler.

To his disappointment, his first job took him to Yuvern. Arriving in-system, he was met with the sight of the entire Imperial Oplovis sector fleet. Adiss was issued orders to heave to and receive inspectors, and he complied—but as the inspectors were proceeding through the ship, an Alliance battle line entered the system and engaged the Imperials. The Imperials, forced to retreat, departed the system, leaving the inspectors on Adiss's ship. Fortunately for the smuggler, the battle distracted the inspectors, and the spice he was shipping remained undiscovered. Dropping the inspectors off at Harrod's Planet, Adiss promised to be on the lookout for Alliance activity, before returning to Jabba. In 4 ABY, he was present at the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon, and was on board the Khetanna when it was destroyed.

July 17, 2009 – AdasEdit

Adas was King of Korriban and the Sith in a reign that lasted nearly three hundred years. He was large for his species, his skin was unusually charcoal-colored, and he was raised as a chosen being from his youth. Encasing himself in ebon armor, he wielded a massive battle-ax, and became a master of Sith magic. Circa 28,000 BBY, Adas united the disparate nations of Korriban in a series of bloody conflicts, eventually solidifying himself as the sole leader of his people.

The Sith hailed Adas as the Sith'ari, or "Overlord." The commonly held belief was that he was invincible, and that his reign would be eternal. Circa 27,700 BBY, Rakatans from the Infinite Empire arrived on Korriban, and taught Adas how to harness the technology of holocrons. Adas created one of these devices, but soon realized that the new arrivals were attempting to conquer Korriban. He took his battle-ax to the aliens, and with his people at his side, drove them off. In doing so, he lost his life.

Adas's influence, however, would continue for many years following his death. His holocron, lost on Ashas Ree during the Great Hyperspace War, would later be found by fallen Jedi Knight Freedon Nadd, who used Adas's teachings to subjugate and rule Onderon. When that planet cast off the yoke of Sith oppression in 4,000 BBY, the Jedi attempted to hide the holocron, so that it would not fall into the wrong hands. For nearly four thousand years it remained safely hidden on Kodai, but was retrieved in the years prior to the Clone Wars. Murder was committed several times in attempts to gain control of the holocron, and it was eventually returned to Korriban while in the possession of Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya.

July 18, 2009 – PloozEdit

Plooz was an Alzarian prince and the son of King Gokus. While still very young, Plooz was effectively kidnapped by Gokus's general, Sludd, as part of an elaborate plot to seize control of the planets Alzar and Sooma. Plooz was taken to the latter world, where he met King Zornog. It appeared to Gokus that Zornog had kidnapped the child, which prompted the Alzarian king to ready a military invasion of Sooma. Meanwhile, Zornog had the diplomat droids C-3PO and R2-D2 take Plooz back to his homeworld.

While in transit, their ship was attacked by Sludd, forcing R2-D2 to make a last ditch attempt to escape by jumping to hyperspace. However, Plooz, attempting to help, had disrupted the ship's anti-matter device, which created a time warp in space that caused the ship to travel into the future. Finding himself in the Endor system, Plooz panicked and jettisoned one of the craft's escape pods. Landing on the Forest Moon of Endor, Plooz was hailed by the native Ewoks as a "Star Child" that would bring good luck. He became embroiled in the failed Chirpa-Gorneesh peace summit and was later retrieved by C-3PO and R2-D2. The trio returned back through the time warp to their own time, and they were able to foil Sludd's coup d'état in the process.

July 19, 2009 – SpikerEdit

Spiker was a Chiss mercenary and a member of Big Gizz's swoop gang, working for Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine. One of few Chiss to ever leave the Unknown Regions during the time of the Empire, none knew of his heritage, not even Spiker himself. Several years before the Battle of Yavin, he became an undercover agent in Jabba the Hutt's swoop gang, spying on the gang's leader, Big Gizz, for Jabba, while severely downplaying his intelligence. For his efforts, Spiker was rewarded with a suit of uniquely spiked armor from Jabba, from which he earned his nickname.

Spiker worked with Gizz for several years, and his deception was never discovered; together with the rest of the gang, he intimidated Jabba's clients and customers into repaying their debts, and earned a reputation for surviving extremely dangerous maneuvers. In 3 ABY, the gang took on a new member, Jix, who was in truth an agent of Lord Darth Vader. Jix attacked Gizz, and later lied to Spiker, claiming that Gizz had been killed in a collision. Jix left Spiker to die after his swoop bike exploded several days later in a chase for Boba Fett. Spiker survived, and was healed by members of the B'omarr Order; he was also reunited with Gizz, and the two hatched a plan to commandeer a secret ship of Jabba's in Glass Mountain. Their plan went awry when Gorga the Hutt also attempted to claim the ship, and they ultimately came away from the adventure with nothing, save for a straggling Lizling named Onoh. During their travels, the trio were attacked by a rogue Imperial dark trooper, though they managed to survive, barely. After that, Spiker and Gizz were believed to have disappeared.

July 20, 2009 – 3B6-RA-7Edit

3B6-RA-7, nicknamed "Threebee," was a personal-assistant droid that worked as a spy, care-giver, and farmhand, serving masters as diverse as Moff Dunhausen and the moisture farmer Sholh Dorr. Originally in the possession of the Imperial Security Bureau, 3B6-RA-7 was programmed to work as a protocol and spy droid simultaneously, resulting in mass incompetence while fulfilling the former duties. Hoping to keep tabs on the Moff, the Bureau presented the droid to Dunhausen, who quickly tired of 3B6-RA-7's ineptitude. Rumors about the RA-7 line being used as spies persisted, and soon enough Dunhausen sought to dispose of the droid.

On Tatooine, 3B6-RA-7 was captured by the Jawa Jek Nkik, and constant attempts were made to sell him off to the customers of the scavenger race. The attempts failed, and 3B6-RA-7 would become a mainstay of Nebit's sandcrawler, deriding and mocking any newcomers the Jawas managed to steal. Eventually, he was sold to aging farmer Sholh Dorr at the annual Droidfest. Over time, 3B6-RA-7 began to genuinely care for Dorr, but was nonetheless passed on once more, when the farmer decided to sell him at Eport. By that stage, 3B6-RA-7 was a collectors' item, since most of the other droids of his make had been destroyed at Yavin, when the Death Star had been destroyed.

July 21, 2009 – Mara Jade SkywalkerEdit

Mara Jade Skywalker was, during different times in her life, an Emperor's Hand, a smuggler, and later a Jedi Master who sat upon the Jedi High Council. As an Emperor's Hand, Mara carried out the Emperor's bidding, killing Rebels and corrupt Imperials alike with cold professionalism even as a young woman. After Palpatine's death, she received his last command, which was to kill Luke Skywalker; however, the death of her Master caused her to go rogue. Eventually she joined Talon Karrde, becoming one of his best smugglers and his second-in-command. During the predations of Grand Admiral Thrawn, she was forced to work with Skywalker, and developed a grudging respect for him. Over the years, she would continue working for Karrde and interacting with Luke intermittently, until the two finally realized in 19 ABY that they were in love and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

After marrying Luke, Mara devoted her life to the New Jedi Order, becoming a Master in her own right. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong War, she fell ill due to deadly coomb spores. Using the Force to slow its progress, the disease was only purged from her system after the birth of her son Ben in 26 ABY. After becoming a Master, Mara took her niece Jaina Solo as an apprentice until she reached Knighthood. During this time, Mara participated in Jedi offensives against the Yuuzhan Vong where she aided in the destruction of Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane. Mara was active during the Dark Nest Crisis and the subsequent Swarm War, where she helped to thwart the plans of Raynar Thul and the Killiks, and continued to serve by the side of her husband as a Jedi Master during the Second Galactic Civil War. During that war, Mara was killed by her nephew, Jacen Solo, whom she had learned was a Sith and therefore saw as a threat to her family personally, to the Jedi Order, and to the galaxy at large.

Mara was skilled in a variety of fields, being a good pilot and mechanic and trained in the use of both a blaster and hand-to-hand combat even without relying on the Force. Her cool demeanor was matched by her quick wit and both helped her stay calm, survive, and emerge victorious even in dangerous situations. As Palpatine's assassin, she received top-notch training from experts in a variety of fields as well as training in the Force, which would be continued by Luke Skywalker years later.

July 22, 2009 – Kai JustissEdit

Kai Justiss was a Human male who served as a Jedi Knight during the time surrounding the Clone Wars, and who managed to evade Order 66 and survive the Great Jedi Purge. In his early career as a Jedi, he encountered a wide variety of creatures in his travels, such as marsh haunts and muttamoks. He also worked with the Wookiees of Rwookrrorro, Kashyyyk to thwart a plot by droid specialist Turren Lonarr to destabilize Wookiee society. When the Clone Wars broke out in 22 BBY, Justiss participated in the first battle, which took place on Geonosis.

He would later serve aboard the Acclamator I-class assault ship VCD987, alongside fellow Jedi Tsui Choi and Sian Jeisel. In 21 BBY, the VCD987 was shipping troops to Drongar when it fell under attack from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It was subsequently boarded, with Justiss and his companions at the mercy of Count Dooku, the Confederate leader. Dooku spared them, however, allowing Justiss to continue to serve the Galactic Republic. He was permanently assigned to Jedi diplomatic duties on Kashyyyk and was later the target of a bounty posted by enemy commander Asajj Ventress. When Order 66 was executed, Justiss was forced to flee from agents of the new Galactic Empire that had risen in the Republic's stead, and he was able to elude capture or execution at least until 0 ABY.

July 23, 2009 – Aris-Del WariEdit

Aris-Del Wari, born Ludi Billane, was a Jedi youngling who lived in the Republic Classic era. Separated from her mother, Jonava Billane, during a quake that wracked the city of Domitree on Ord Thoden, the child was recovered by the Jedi Order, who discovered that she was Force-sensitive. The Jedi brought the infant into their ranks and gave her the name of "Aris-Del Wari," before introducing her to the power of the Force.

When Jonava Billane discovered what had happened to her child, she journeyed to Coruscant to contest the Jedi's possession of her. In what became known as the "Baby Ludi" case, she petitioned to the Jedi Order for custody of Wari, but the Jedi Council refused to return her to her mother. The actions of the Jedi inspired protest rallies and demonstration, and a massive media blitz of the story followed. As events were still unfolding, Kailio Entertainments prepared to make a holofilm about the case, to be directed by Ch'been. While Billane was overseeing casting decisions on the film, Wari was transferred to the Kamparas Jedi Training Center, where she would further her connection to the Force.

July 24, 2009 – Bevel LemeliskEdit

Bevel Lemelisk was an engineer and architect who designed, among other things, six superweapons with the power to destroy a planet: the Death Star prototype, the Death Star, the second Death Star, the Eclipse, the Tarkin, and the Darksaber. Starting his career by working for the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, he studied under Nasdra Magrody, and worked alongside such illustrious designers as Doctor Walex Blissex. He aided Blissex in designing the Victory I-class Star Destroyer, which would remain a staple in military flotillas decades after its initial creation. When the Galactic Empire rose to power in 19 BBY, Lemelisk was tasked by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin with the development of the Death Star battlestation, which would have the power to destroy entire worlds.

The development and subsequent construction ensued for years, with Lemelisk working at the Maw Installation alongside designers including Frap Radicon and Umak Leth. When the station was finally completed, it was destroyed by the Alliance to Restore the Republic at the Battle of Yavin. Furious at the fact that the Alliance had been able to locate and exploit a fatal flaw in the design, Emperor Palpatine had Lemelisk executed, and subsequently resurrected in a clone body. Palpatine ordered Lemelisk to design a new Death Star, one that did not possess the same fatal flaw as the original. During development, the Emperor executed and resurrected Lemelisk a further six times.

Though he succeeded in eliminating the original flaw, the Alliance once again destroyed his creation while it was under construction at Endor. Palpatine died his first death there, effectively allowing Lemelisk to avoid yet another execution. After a brief stint designing the Eclipse, news of Palpatine's return reached the architect, prompting him to flee. He found work in the employ of the Hutt crime lord Durga Besadii Tai, who tasked him with the creation of the Darksaber superweapon. Though his designs were more efficient than they had ever been, inferior workmanship and materials doomed Durga's weapon before it had even had a chance to be used. As per Lemelisk's predictions the weapon failed and was destroyed, with Lemelisk himself captured by the New Republic. Four years later, he became one of the few people executed by the Republic for genocide.

July 25, 2009 – RaygarEdit

Doctor Raygar was an Argazdan scientist affiliated with the Galactic Empire. In 3 ABY, he traveled on the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer commanded by Admiral Kazz to the Endor system, with Emperor Palpatine's approval. There, Raygar hoped to obtain the fabled Sunstar, a powerful gem. Taking his Imperial Reconnaissance droids to the Forest Moon of Endor, he was able to find and attack Bright Tree Village. While doing so, he was attacked by the Ewok shaman Logray, who used the Sunstar to destroy Raygar's droids. The doctor retaliated by swiftly stealing the Sunstar, before returning to Kazz's Star Destroyer.

Back in his lab, Raygar began studying the Sunstar and came to the realization that by harnessing its power, he could remove Palpatine and install himself as the Galactic Emperor. He began creating a powerful cannon with the Sunstar's powers, speculating that it would be the most devastating weapon the universe had ever seen. He planned to test his weapon on the captive Ewoks Latara and Teebo, but was thwarted by Wicket W. Warrick. Inadvertently, he fired upon the Emperor's personal shuttle instead, but the hit was only glancing. Palpatine survived, and Kazz subsequently arrested Raygar, charged with high treason. The Emperor then oversaw the doctor's punishment personally.

July 26, 2009 – Jeng DrogaEdit

Jeng Droga was an Emperor's Hand who served Emperor Palpatine during the Galactic Civil War. A Jar'Kai practitioner, he was fanatically loyal and dedicated to his master, with whom he shared a psychic link. Droga, who captained the Emperor's Shadow, oversaw the other Emperor's Hands and accompanied Palpatine on any hazardous missions. On several occasions, he was able to save Palpatine's life—first, when Palpatine was attacked by the specters of long-dead Sith Lords on Korriban, and secondly on Kaal, when the Emperor's spirit journeyed from Endor and bonded with Droga. The Emperor's Hand carried Palpatine's essence inside him all the way to Byss, where Sate Pestage was able to extract the Emperor's spirit from Droga.

When Palpatine struck at the New Republic in 10 ABY, his clone bodies suffered sabotage and destruction from various sources. Inhabiting his final clone body, the Emperor soon learned that the body's cell structure was deteriorating due to further sabotage, and that it would soon expire. Faced with the prospect of having no body to possess, Palpatine planned to inhabit the infant Anakin Solo, the grandchild of Anakin Skywalker. Droga strongly cautioned against the plan, and he was proven right when Palpatine died his final death at the hands of Empatojayos Brand. Driven to insanity by the loss of his master, Droga's hope of a returned Palpatine was rekindled by the Second Imperium, which appeared to be headed by the Emperor. He soon realized that the Second Imperium's Palpatine was little more than a scam, and he found himself left with no cause to fight for. Droga was eventually struck down by Jedi Knight Kyle Katarn.

July 27, 2009 – Cebann VeekanEdit

Cebann Veekan was an actor who, after 4 ABY, performed in a stage production based on Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker's exploits and adventures. Originally a holo-performer who worked with in the Imperial Entertainers Guild, circumstances within the organization made it more difficult for non-Humans to find acting work. As a Hamadryas, Veekan was forced to find other avenues of employment, and began acting in several non-Guild productions. Eventually, he found himself on the arid desert world of Tatooine, in the Outer Rim Territories.

Depressed, Veekan spent most of his time in Chalmun's Cantina, situated in Mos Eisley. One of the bartenders, Ackmena, would often entertain her patrons with singing and performance, prompting Veekan to join her and start an acting troupe. They performed constantly at the cantina, and Chalmun himself allowed it as long as the performances made money. The troupe, however, did not truly achieve success until 4 ABY, when they adapted the life story so far of Tatooinian Luke Skywalker to the stage. The play attracted substantial crowds, forcing the troupe to leave the cantina and move onto larger venues. Veekan continued to play the lead role until he grew too old, when he began instructing others who would succeed him in the part.

July 28, 2009 – Onara KuatEdit

Onara Kuat was head of the Kuat family and principal director of Kuat Drive Yards during the Clone Wars. In a position to select the Kuat sector's representative in the Galactic Senate, Onara ensured that both her family and her shipyards would benefit from her selections. Senator Risi Lenoan acquitted herself well in that regard, but when questions arose concerning her bookkeeping in conjunction with Kuat Drive Yards, she was forced to leave her office. In selecting Lenoan's successor, Onara attempted to choose someone who would be politically malleable. Her choice, Giddean Danu, proved to be anything but, as he opposed the centralization of power and championed the Jedi Knights.

Realizing her mistake, Onara unsuccessfully tried to have Danu recalled. Her nephew, Kuat of Kuat, along with several others, thought that Danu was a strong advocate of Kuati independence, and so the man stayed. Furthermore, he began investigating the Kuat family as part of his planned reform of Kuati politics. Concerned that her closely guarded secrets would be revealed, Onara began pursuing other methods of removing Danu. At a performance of Squid Lake at the Galaxies Opera House in 19 BBY, shortly before the conclusion of the Clone Wars, she met with Tannon Praji's bodyguard, Ottegru Grey. Grey assured her that all her problems would be solved if she was to stay loyal to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Onara was eventually succeeded by her nephew's father.

July 29, 2009 – The Epic ContinuesEdit

The Epic Continues was a planned 1986 extension of Kenner's "Power of the Force" action figure range. It was to feature original characters and vehicles, stemming from a new plot line created by Kenner designers. The plot concerned the genetics master Atha Prime, ruler of dark worlds, who had been freed from exile following the death of Emperor Palpatine. Striking at the Rebel Alliance, he was forced to do battle with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and the Mongo Beefhead Tribesmen. Meanwhile, Grand Moff Tarkin, who had evaded death at the Battle of Yavin, had returned to take control of the Galactic Empire.

Many of the new figures and vehicles were inspired by elements from the films, and the ideas took shape in concept art and prototypes. Most of the prototypes were kitbashed, while others were minor alterations to existing designs. The proposal was presented to Lucasfilm Ltd., but they rejected the proposal. As a result none of the figures were produced, and the plot line was rendered non-canon. In the mid 1990s, several of the vehicles and droids from the line were canonized in the short story The Battle of Cadinth, and in the early 2000s Abel G. Peña made several attempts to canonize Atha Prime. Though the character was not directly made canon, one inspired by Prime, an unidentified genetic terrorist, was.

July 30, 2009 – Czulkang LahEdit

Czulkang Lah was once one of the greatest warmasters of the Yuuzhan Vong, a hero to his species, and an experienced commander responsible for developing many of the tactics that the Yuuzhan Vong warrior caste would use in the invasion of the galaxy. Responsible, as warmaster, for leading the warriors and the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, Lah in fact came to oppose the planned attack upon the New Republic and its environs. Czulkang Lah's relationship with his offspring, Tsavong Lah, became strained, as father and son disagreed over the matter. Eventually, Lah was ousted from his position, usurped by Tsavong, and consigned to a life teaching strategy to younger Yuuzhan Vong warriors. The former warmaster led this existence for years, old and physically decrepit when the invasion was launched in 25 ABY. Disheartened by his reversal of fortune, the aged warrior desired nothing more than to lead warriors in battle once again.

Two years into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Tsavong Lah offered his father command of a sizable fleet with which to assault Borleias, a planet recaptured from the Yuuzhan Vong by elements of the New Republic Defense Force. His dreams finally realized, Lah blockaded the Pyria system, maintaining a constant siege of Borleias. The old warrior soon received intelligence indicating that the New Republic garrison was developing a superweapon, known as the Starlancer Project, and thus he chose to initiate a strategy of observation until the extent of his opponent's capabilities could be determined. Tsavong Lah, however, was monitoring his father's progress, and overruled the long approach to the campaign, demanding an all-out assault to destroy the garrison and its superweapon, which resulted in a disastrous defeat. A stalemate persisted in the system, until eventually the former warmaster and his opponent, General Wedge Antilles, met in one final, protracted engagement. During the last clash over Borleias, Lah was outwitted and killed, his flagship rammed by the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Lusankya.

July 31, 2009 – Asli Krimsan's holocronEdit

Asli Krimsan's holocron was a holocron created by the Jedi Master Asli Krimsan at least several thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. Krimsan stored the device in the Jedi library on Exis Station in the Teedio system. This library was later abandoned by the Jedi, and thousands of years later, the holocron was held in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. In the Jedi Temple, additional lessons by Jedi Masters were recorded on it.

Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader later acquired Krimsan's holocron, keeping it in a vault in his personal quarters in Bast Castle on Vjun. The device remained there after his death until it was discovered by Jedi Knight Tionne on one of her many research missions in 22 ABY. On this particular mission she was accompanied by Jedi Master Ikrit and Jedi trainees Anakin Solo, Tahiri Veila, and Uldir Lochett. The Jedi team was confronted at the castle by the "Mage" Orloc, who attempted to steal Krimsan's holocron from them. The Jedi defeated him and returned the holocron to the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. Lochett later stole the artifact when he fled the academy to seek instruction under Orloc, but it was recovered when Orloc was revealed as a charlatan aboard Exis Station.

August 1, 2009 – Tamizander ReyEdit

Tamizander Rey was a Human male commander of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. A native of the planet Esseles in the Galactic Core, Rey abandoned his role with the Esselian defense force following the dissolution of the Imperial Senate shortly before the Battle of Yavin. After joining the Rebellion, he served at the secret Echo Base on the Outer Rim Territories ice planet Hoth by 3 ABY. As the facility's senior deck officer, he was responsible for overseeing all docking bay operations. At Rey's suggestion, General Carlist Rieekan issued an order preventing any starship from leaving Hoth's surface until Echo Base's energy shield was activated, which earned Rey the ire of many non-Rebel pilots finding themselves trapped in the base as a result. During the Battle of Hoth, Rey coordinated the evacuation of the base's various transports.

August 2, 2009 – Beryl ChiffonageEdit

Beryl Chiffonage was a Human male commander of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the height of the Galactic Civil War. An expert military tactician with an intimate knowledge of Imperial battle tactics, Chiffonage worked closely with Alliance High Command and Alliance Intelligence as a member of the Task Force on Alliance Security. Under the leadership of Alliance Generals Jan Dodonna and Carlist Rieekan, Chiffonage helped to devise attack and defensive maneuvers for Rebel bases, including the base on Dantooine and Echo Base on Hoth.

Chiffonage helped train tactical prodigy Risiev Credal in a variety of ground and airborne scenarios. Before Credal inexplicably disappeared from the Alliance, considered by High Command and Intelligence to be a traitor, he and Chiffonage, in cooperation with Luke Skywalker, developed a series of tactics for T-47 airspeeder squadrons to be utilized against Imperial All Terrain Armored Transports as part of Echo Base's defensive measures. Known as the Rogue Doctrine, Chiffonage's innovation resulted specifically in Attack Pattern Delta and a maneuver in which the airspeeders' harpoon and tow cables entangled and tripped the walkers' legs.

Skywalker and Rogue Group employed Chiffonage's tactics at the Battle of Hoth against the invading line of AT-ATs with limited success, downing several walkers throughout the engagement. Chiffonage was captured trying to flee Hoth when his escape transport was stopped at an Imperial checkpoint.

August 3, 2009 – Cay Qel-DromaEdit

Cay Qel-Droma was a Human male who served as a Jedi Knight during the events of the Great Sith War. Born on Alderaan to a family with Jedi heritage, Qel-Droma and his older brother, fellow Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma, were instructed by Master Arca Jeth at his training compound on Arkania. Qel-Droma's first mission came in 4,000 BBY, when, along with his brother and fellow trainee Tott Doneeta, he was sent to Onderon to put down an uprising of the Beast Riders from the planet's wilderness against the walled city of Iziz. The Jedi succeeded, but Qel-Droma's career on the fields of battle had just begun.

He helped quell the Naddist Uprising started by a dark side cult on Onderon, and later fought in the Great Sith War, a galaxy-spanning conflict that started when the dark side organization known as the Krath took control of the Empress Teta system. During the war, Ulic turned to the dark side, becoming a Sith, and second-in-command under Dark Lord Exar Kun. Though Kun attempted to lure Qel-Droma to the dark side as well, he could not be tempted, and remained a Jedi, a proud defender of the Galactic Republic. Qel-Droma fought opposite his brother in battles such as the First Battle of Coruscant. In 3,996 BBY Qel-Droma finally came face-to-face with Ulic, dueling him on Ossus. Ulic killed his brother, though he regretted the act enough to abandon the dark side. Filled with guilt, Ulic lived the rest of his life a broken man.

An ambitious Human male, Darcc was an Imperial officer, captain, governor, and later Moff. Originally, around 19 BBY, the Imperial served under the command of then-Moff Wilhuff Tarkin aboard his flagship Executrix. After his assignment aboard the Star Destroyer, Darcc was transferred to the forest planet of Kashyyyk, home of the arboreal Wookiees. There, he rose through the ranks of Imperial rule, eventually becoming governor of the planet.

When Emperor Palpatine met his end aboard the Death Star II, Darcc jumped at the opportunity to take over Kashyyyk. Using the vast Imperial resources at hand on Kashyyyk as well as his position as planetary governor, Darcc proclaimed himself Moff of the Mytaranor sector,and ruled from Kashyyyk. Once Moff, Darcc formed alliances with the Trandoshan slaver Pekt and the traitorous Wookiee Weebacca in an effort to rid the planet Kashyyyk of its native sentient species, the Wookiees.

Moff Darcc's rule over Kashyyyk was threatened when Chewbacca and Han Solo landed on the planet in an effort to answer a distress call and liberate the planet. Chewbacca formed forces with several Wookiee villages; these Wookiees then led an assault on Darcc's Imperial garrison and Darcc's palace, forcing the Moff to flee the planet with Pekt. Hidden on a fortress on Avatar Orbital Platform above Kashyyyk, Darcc was eventually met again by Wookiee forces, bolstered by Lando Calrissian, flying the Millennium Falcon, and Rogue Squadron, led by Luke Skywalker. This time, he was unable to escape, and died when the station exploded as a result of the New Republic's actions.

August 5, 2009 – AkansehEdit

Akanseh was a male Mon Calamari doctor from the planet Mon Calamari. A philanthropist and accomplished surgeon, he wanted to use his skills to take medical care to the backwater planets of the galaxy. When the Galactic Empire invaded his homeworld, Akanseh fled and avoided becoming a slave. Hiding for several years, he built a fully automated surgical suite staffed by droids and set out to achieve his goals. Since the surgical suite could be broken down and stowed in the hold of a freighter, Akanseh used free-traders to transport the apparatus from world to world.

While being ferried between planets, the freighter Akanseh had booked passage on was intercepted by an Interdictor cruiser. The doctor was taken to Moff Kentor Sarne, an Imperial warlord who ruled the Kathol sector. Sarne saw that Akanseh's talents and surgical suite would serve him well, and forced the Mon Calamari to work for him as an interrogator and torturer. Akanseh did his best to act humanely in this role, using persuasion and coercion to gain his subject's secrets without resorting to violence. Despite this, he still used more forceful methods on occasion.

In 8 ABY, he was freed from his servitude to the Moff by Page's Commandos of the New Republic during the Battle of Kal'Shebbol. Moff Sarne had fled Kal'Shebbol with the bulk of his fleet, and the New Republic corvette FarStar had been assigned to track him down and neutralize any threat he posed. Akanseh signed onto the crew of the FarStar as chief medical officer, hoping to atone for his actions while in Sarne's service. Several months into the voyage, the vessel stopped at the planet Q'Maere in the Kathol Rift. The planet was the site of the Q'Maere Research Facility, a former scientific outpost that had been converted into a penal colony by Moff Sarne. Many of the inmates had been poorly and brutally treated, and Akanseh elected to stay behind at the outpost to care for them.

August 6, 2009 – DholEdit

Lady Dhol, the ruler of Cheelit, was a female squid-like sentient. She lived in a floating, transparent globe in her hive-palace, where she amused herself by playing the game of Firepath. During the Galactic Civil War, she and the Guild of Vindicators hatched a plan to assassinate Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader. Dhol lured Vader to her hive-palace and engaged him in a game of Firepath, while a Guild assassin infiltrated the hive-palace and eliminated Vader's guards. The assassin, Clat the Shamer, confronted Vader, but inadvertently stepped onto the Firepath board; the Sith Lord used the game's controls to incinerate Clat and informed Dhol that he knew of her part in the scheme. He then ignited one of the rings on the Firepath board, above which Dhol was floating, and killed her.

August 7, 2009 – Equipment EmporiumEdit

The Equipment Emporium was a shop owned by Kebla Yurt located within the Upper City of the planet Taris. The shop's chief products included computer slicing equipment, armor, weapons, and explosive items such as grenades and permacrete detonators, as well as large items such as swoops and speeders. The shop survived the siege of Taris and the planet's subsequent occupation by the Mandalorians, and continued to do business during the years of the Jedi Civil War and the planetary quarantine instituted by the Sith Empire. The Sith, however, confiscated the shop's heavy weapons and speeders. While trapped on Taris with Republic officer Carth Onasi following the destruction of the Endar Spire, Revan—the amnesiac former Dark Lord of the Sith—visited Yurt's shop. The Equipment Emporium was open for business until Darth Malak's orbital bombardment of the planet in 3,956 BBY.

August 8, 2009 – Davish KrailEdit

Davish Krail, known by his comrades as "Pops," was a veteran BTL Y-wing starfighter pilot who flew for the Alliance to Restore the Republic. He had been flying for nearly twenty years before joining the Alliance, and served at the organization's base on Dantooine alongside his old friend Garven Dreis. He was given command of a Y-wing squadron at some stage, but eventually served under Jon Vander in Gold Squadron.

When the Death Star entered the Yavin system in 0 BBY, Krail was amongst the pilots sent by General Jan Dodonna to destroy the battlestation. He accompanied Vander and Tiree in the first attack on the station's exhaust port, but during the trench run, his allies were gunned down by Darth Vader, a Dark Lord of the Sith. Aborting his run, Krail too was shot down by the Dark Lord, but not before alerting Dreis, commander of the X-wing fighter unit Red Squadron, to the threat.

August 9, 2009 – Crueya VandronEdit

Crueya Vandron was the lord of House Vandron, one of the Ancient Houses of the Senex sector; additionally he was an advisor to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and an important figure in the establishment of the New Order. Alongside his wife, Lady Theala Vandron, he ruled the Senex sector, an ancient domain that operated independently from the Galactic Republic.

After the Senex sector finally joined the Republic during the Separatist Crisis, Vandron became an advisor to Chancellor Palpatine and a leading member of the Commission for the Protection of the Republic. When Palpatine dissolved the Republic and created the first Galactic Empire, Vandron helped shape the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order—COMPOR's successor—into a driving force in Imperial organization, alongside the likes of Ishin-Il-Raz, Ardus Kaine, and Janus Greejatus. While he was not a member of the organization personally, he provided the funding for much of its activities, and he also helped establish the Imperial Security Bureau; a Humanocentric and a deep believer in the Empire and its key ideals, he attempted to work the idea of "Imperial infallibility" into the Imperial legal code around 0 BBY, but was met with stern opposition by the Justice department. By 12 ABY, Theala Vandron Jr. had assumed the leadership of House Vandron.

August 10, 2009 – Elassar TargonEdit

Elassar Targon was a superstitious male Devaronian from Devaron. He joined the New Republic Defense Force and eventually served in Wraith Squadron as the unit medic in the campaign against Warlord Zsinj. As one of the newer members of the squadron, Targon suffered some bantering from his fellow pilots, but he took the kidding in good stead. In their mission planning, Targon advocated a more aggressive approach to combating Zsinj, but he was rebutted by fellow squadmate Shalla Nelprin. He participated in several missions against Zsinj, including the Battle of Vahaba and the Battle of Selaggis. After Wraith Squadron was shifted over to become an Intelligence unit, Targon stayed in the unit, still in active service as of the Yuuzhan Vong War. He was present for part of the Battle of Borleias, but was later assigned to accompany several other members of the Wraiths, the scientist Danni Quee, and three Jedi to occupied Coruscant. On Coruscant, he helped investigate the former galactic capital's condition and eventually returned to Borleias once the mission was completed.

August 11, 2009 – Bidlo KwerveEdit

Bidlo Kwerve was a Corellian pirate and smuggler who served Jabba Desilijic Tiure. A tall, grizzled man with scarred features and a mane of black hair, he was known for his greediness and hot temper, and was quick to respond to any perceived insults. Kwerve and a Twi'lek named Bib Fortuna competed to become Jabba's new majordomo after the Hutt deemed his previous retainer, Naroon Cuthus, too old and incapable of carrying out his duties. Kwerve and Fortuna hated each other with a passion and went to great lengths to prove themselves in Jabba's eyes, though Jabba considered each as incompetent as the other.

Kwerve disliked Jabba's top pilot, Han Solo, and the two often clashed, both in words and with blasters. Around 2 BBY, he considered leaving Jabba's employ because of the continual menial tasks that were being asked of him, and though Fortuna encouraged him to quit, he never did. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Kwerve discovered a crashed ship in the Tatooinian desert, with a live rancor inside it. Hoping to present the beast to Jabba for his birthday, he begrudgingly sought the aid of Fortuna to help him transport it to Jabba's Palace. Jabba was impressed with the initiative shown by his two top lieutenants and offered to make one of them his new majordomo; the other would be given the "greater honor," though Jabba did not specify what this was. Ever greedy, Kwerve accepted the "greater honor"—he became the rancor's first victim and was devoured in a pit below Jabba's court. The uncouth Corellian did get his revenge, posthumously, when Luke Skywalker used Kwerve's skull to kill the rancor in 4 ABY.

August 12, 2009 – Daye Azur-JaminEdit

Daye Azur-Jamin was a Human male from Druckenwell, a member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and later a Jedi Knight of the New Jedi Order. He worked for I'att Armament, a weapons factory on his homeworld, as the Second Undersupervisor to Tinian I'att, the company's heiress. The two fell in love and were engaged, and Azur-Jamin confided in her his Force-sensitivity. Early in the Galactic Civil War, Azur-Jamin helped develop a revolutionary anti-energy field for stormtrooper armor, which I'att Armament hoped to sell in bulk to the Empire. However, Imperial Moff Eisen Kerioth double-crossed the arms manufacturers, executing Tinian's grandparents and claiming the technology as his own. Azur-Jamin destroyed the factory from the inside so that Tinian could escape; grievously wounded, he turned to the Rebel Alliance for medical treatment.

After having Tinian informed that he had perished in the explosion, Azur-Jamin was taken to a Rebel cell on Silver Station, but his stay in a bacta tank was cut short by an Imperial raid. His injuries—crushed legs, damaged arms, loss of clear sight, and head wounds—became permanent, and Azur-Jamin's cybernetic body parts were almost as numerous as his organic ones. Ultimately, after his eyesight was restored by the Sunesi on Monor II, he decided to track down his lover, and they were eventually reunited. Azur-Jamin joined Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order, as did his and Tinian's son, Tam, becoming a revered Jedi Knight. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Daye served as a scout, going behind enemy lines to monitor damage done by the Yuuzhan Vong. However, during a botched mission on Nal Hutta, he lost contact with the Order for over a year, and was turned to the dark side of the Force by a Dark Jedi. After kidnapping Kyle Katarn, he was apprehended by a team of commandos led by Jan Ors and Mara Jade Skywalker, who attempted to redeem him.

August 13, 2009 – Nil SpaarEdit

Nil Spaar was a male Yevetha and member of the Spaar clan. He was the darama, or chosen one, of his species as well as head of the Duskhan League during the Black Fleet Crisis. In 4 ABY, Spaar led a rebellion after the Battle of Endor in which the Yevetha overthrew their Imperial masters from the Koornacht Cluster. As the leader of the insurrection, he gained popular acclaim among the Yevetha and was widely supported after replacing the previous regime in a bloody coup.

In 16 ABY, Spaar extended his ambitions into the galaxy at large, meeting New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo, ostensibly for trade negotiations. However, his visit was a pretense to gather intelligence and sow distrust among the New Republic to hide the planned Yevethan takeover of the Koornacht Cluster. Though the Yevetha managed to cause much turmoil and conflict in the New Republic Senate, the plan ultimately failed, largely due to the actions of Organa Solo. When she refused to turn a blind eye to the slaughter of the inhabitants on numerous worlds in the Koornacht Cluster, Spaar led a military effort against the New Republic's fleet in Koornacht. The Yevetha were initially successful and even captured Commodore Han Solo, whom Spaar physically assaulted, transmitting the feed to the New Republic, after the New Republic Defense Force attacked a Yevethan shipyard. Though Organa Solo was horrified by his actions, Spaar's brutality only stiffened the New Republic's resolve, and they launched the Battle of N'zoth as an all-out attack on the Yevethan homeworld of N'zoth. As the Yevethan fleet, led by Spaar, was preparing for battle, the captured Imperials who served as slaves on the Yevethan ships struck and seized control of the vessels that once had belonged to the Empire. Spaar was captured, ejected into hyperspace in an escape pod by Imperial officer Sil Sorannan, and left to die.

August 14, 2009 – Zorba Desilijic TiureEdit

Zorba Desilijic Tiure was a Hutt crime lord and the leader of the Desilijic kajidic. One of few Hutts to possess hair—as a result of a genetic throwback—Zorba was the sibling of Jiliac, Ziro and Pazda, and the parent of several Hutts, among them Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Zorba was an inept leader of Desilijic, and he had few supporters in his clan, due to his outlandish schemes and financial mismanagement. During the Separatist Crisis, he was apprehended by law enforcement and sentenced to prison on the planet Kip. Jiliac took over as Desilijic leader, and Jabba inherited much of Zorba's holdings.

In 5 ABY, Zorba was released by agents of Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard, and traveled to Jabba's Palace on Tatooine in his ship, the Zorba Express. Zorba was refused admission to the palace, and he later discovered that Jabba had been killed by Princess Leia Organa. Determined to punish Organa, Zorba put out a bounty on her. Using a secret will of his son's, Zorba laid claim to much of Jabba's holdings throughout the galaxy, including his casino on Bespin and his desert citadel on Tatooine.

On Bespin, Zorba won control of Cloud City from Lando Calrissian, and learned that Organa was in the city, in Imperial warlord Trioculus's captivity. He attempted to bargain with Trioculus for Organa to be handed over to him, but he refused, and Imperial forces clashed with Zorba's Cloud Police. Zorba emerged on top, and believed he had killed Organa after destroying an Imperial factory barge. Zorba's minions later informed him that Organa had survived, but he captured her on Hologram Fun World and brought her to Tatooine, planning to feed her to the sarlacc. Trioculus, however, rescued Organa, and fed Zorba himself to the sarlacc. Zorba escaped as well and helped Trioculus's rivals, the false Prophets of the Dark Side, defeat him. Zorba regained leadership of the Desilijic clan, but Jabba's will was later declared a forgery by the Hutt Grand Council. Disgraced, Zorba went into hiding and was rumored to have died soon thereafter.

August 15, 2009 – Empatojayos BrandEdit

Empatojayos Brand was a Jedi Knight and survivor of the Great Jedi Purge. A Padawan of Yaddle, Brand graduated to Knighthood after the Battle of Naboo in 32 BBY. He served the Jedi Order and Republic in the following years, and in 22 BBY was sent to negotiate an end to the decades-long Sepan Civil War, albeit unsuccessfully. Within months the Clone Wars began, and Brand flew a Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor as part of a Jedi strike team in the Battle of Geonosis that opened the war. Brand became a Jedi General during the war, leading his clone troopers to victory in the Battle of Bassadro.

When the Clone Wars ended, however, the Jedi were declared enemies of the Republic and Brand was hunted down by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader. Brand's ship was damaged by Vader near Nar Shaddaa, and the grievously injured Brand was left to die. However, he was rescued by the nearby and technologically primitive Ganathans. They fit him with a prosthetic body, and Brand became the King of Ganath.

In 10 ABY, a damaged ship called the Millennium Falcon arrived in Ganathan Space. Brand learned from its passengers, Han Solo and his wife Leia Organa Solo of the New Republic, that Vader had been defeated, but the war continued to rage against Emperor Palpatine, who had discovered a way to cheat death by transferring his consciousness between clone bodies. Brand also learned that Leia's brother Luke Skywalker was building a New Jedi Order and so he accompanied the Solos back to their safeworld of New Alderaan. After an Imperial attack, Brand joined Skywalker and the New Republic in their flight from the Empire. Brand eventually accompanied Skywalker in a last-ditch attempt at stopping Palpatine on the world of Onderon. Though injured by Palpatine in the fight, Brand was able to capture his opponent's soul, which fled its body after being shot by Han Solo, and upon dying Brand carried it to the Netherworld of the Force, where the former Emperor would be held prisoner by all departed Jedi for eternity.

August 16, 2009 – Gandolo IVEdit

Gandolo IV was a barren, rocky moon in the remote Moddell sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Shortly before 1 BBY, a group of several dozen fugitive Wookiee slaves, including the famous Chewbacca, attempted to establish a safe colony on the moon but was discovered by the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk. Paid in advance by the Imperial sector governor, Bossk and a team of hunters landed on Gandolo IV to capture the renegade Wookiees. The hunt proved particularly opportunistic for Bossk, who finally got a chance to capture Chewbacca after the Wookiee had continuously eluded him for some time. Before the Trandoshan could secure his quarry, however, Chewbacca's smuggling partner, Han Solo, returned to Gandolo IV from business elsewhere to find the Wookiees detained. Careful not to harm Chewbacca and the other Wookiees, Solo strafed the camp in the Millennium Falcon and proceeded to land his ship directly on top of Bossk's own ship, crushing it. The Wookiees overpowered Bossk's group in the mayhem. Although the Wookiees were forced to abandon their colonization effort, Solo and Chewbacca promised to help them set up a new colony elsewhere. The incident turned into an utter humiliation for Bossk, whom Solo and Chewbacca had left trapped in his ruined ship, rather than killing him. The bounty hunter, hungry to avenge himself for the embarrassment, would hear about the Gandolo IV fiasco for the next quarter century.

August 17, 2009 – Even PiellEdit

Even Piell was a long-lived Lannik Jedi Master who served on the Jedi High Council during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. A native of the war-torn planet Lannik, he was taken from poverty and trained as a Jedi Knight at a young age, and proved to be a fierce warrior and talented Force-user. He became a Master, and was given a long-term seat on the Jedi High Council, serving on the Council during the Stark Hyperspace War, Yinchorri Uprising, and Eriadu Trade Summit. Piell also occasionally served with the Palace Guard of his species's prince, and foiled an assassination attempt on the prince—at the cost of one of his eyes.

In 32 BBY, Piell was part of a team of Jedi sent to Malastare to conduct peace negotiations between the newest prince of Lannik, R'cardo Sooflie IX, and the Red Iaro revolutionaries, who wanted the fighting to stop. The negotiations proved fruitless, and several of Sooflie's guardsmen—one of whom Piell had once served alongside—attempted to assassinate the Jedi to win support for the Red Iaro. Piell managed to foil the attempt, and later helped save Sooflie from an attempt on his life by the remaining Red Iaro members. He continued to sit on the Council during the Separatist Crisis, and fought at Geonosis and in many other battles during the Clone Wars. He evaded Order 66 and Operation: Knightfall in 19 BBY, hiding in Coruscant's underlevels for several months, searching for a droid containing many secrets about the Empire, but was killed by stormtroopers before he could locate it. He entrusted the mission to his former Padawan, Jax Pavan, though the information contained in the droid turned out to be a ruse orchestrated by Darth Vader, in an attempt to lure out Pavan.

August 18, 2009 – TIE PhantomEdit

The TIE Phantom was a prototype TIE series starfighter developed by the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. A modified V38 assault fighter, the TIE Phantom was the result of a development project led by Grand Admiral Martio Batch and was equipped with both deflector shields and a hyperdrive, along with a technology not seen for decades—a stygium cloaking device.

The development process began in response to the Rebel victory at the Battle of Yavin. After some initial troubles, Batch was able to secure a supply of the stygium crystals required by the cloaking device, and the fighters entered production on Imdaar Alpha. When the testing process was completed following the Battle of Hoth, Darth Vader intended to use the new starfighter in a devastating assault on the Rebel Alliance Fleet. However, over a series of encounters, the Rebels learned of the new threat. Recognizing the danger, the Alliance dispatched pilots Rookie One and Ru Murleen to capture one of the fighters for study.

The Rebels successfully infiltrated the Super Star Destroyer Terror as it prepared to launch the fighters against the Alliance and escaped with one of them, which they used to destroy both the Terror and the facility where the fighters were produced. However, the Rebels' acquisition of the fighter was short-lived—when the stolen TIE Phantom's self-destruct mechanism activated before the Rebels could examine the fighter, the technology was lost.

August 19, 2009 – TetaEdit

Teta was the Empress of the Koros system in 5,000 BBY, the instigator of the Unification Wars of Koros, and a key military commander in the Great Hyperspace War. Born into nobility on the wealthy planet of Koros Major, Teta eventually inherited the Koros empire; she quickly became known as the "Warrior Empress," after leading her army into battle and personally foiling many assassination attempts. Over 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, Teta began the Unification Wars—an attempt to end the lawless poverty of the system's other worlds and bring them under her rule—with her Jedi advisor, Memit Nadill, at her side. Teta commanded her forces to victory, conquering the rebels on the other planets; she was helped by Nadill and Jedi apprentice Odan-Urr, who used battle meditation to prevent a bloodbath at the Battle of Kirrek.

Shortly after uniting the system, Teta was one of few to heed Odan-Urr's warnings about an impending invasion of the Galactic Republic from the Sith Empire, but her attempts to warn the Galactic Senate ended in failure. When the Sith launched their attack, Koros was one of the first planets to see combat; Teta's forces were successful in driving back the Sith fleet, and, alongside a Republic task force, she pursued the fleet to Primus Goluud, where Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow had ordered the remnants of his fleet to converge. Sadow managed to escape back to the Sith throneworld of Korriban, but again Teta's fleet followed, and crippled his forces at the Battle of Korriban. With the war ended, Teta returned home to allow her soldiers to recuperate; her reign lasted over 175 years in total, and for her benevolent leadership, the system was renamed in her honor.

August 20, 2009 – Shedao ShaiEdit

Shedao Shai was a Yuuzhan Vong warrior and commander who, following the defeat of the Praetorite Vong advance force at Helska 4, led the fleet that attacked the Outer Rim Territories during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Respected, skilled and devoted to the worship of pain, Shai had his own agenda as he drove deeper into New Republic territory. The warrior sought to recover the remains of his grandfather, Mongei Shai, who had perished fifty years before on a scouting mission for the invasion fleet. Upon his arrival on Bimmiel, the planet on which his ancestor had died, Shai discovered that a pair of Jedi had taken the remains for the purpose of biological study. The furious commander vowed revenge, hunting for the Jedi as he continued to conquer worlds. His opportunity came in the form of New Republic Senator Elegos A'Kla, who approached the Yuuzhan Vong in order to discover more about the race that had so suddenly attacked the galaxy. Shai learned much from the Caamasi senator, although their companionship caused his subordinates to question the commander's motive in inducting A'Kla in the ways of the Yuuzhan Vong.

When Shai became aware that A'Kla was well acquainted with one of the Jedi from Bimmiel, Corran Horn, he slew the senator, preparing the Caamasi's corpse for burial as he would have done his grandfather's, before dispatching the remains to Horn. This vengeful gesture incited a private vendetta between the commander and the Jedi, which would see its denouement during the Battle of Ithor. At Ithor, Shai's forces clashed with those of the New Republic and of the Imperial Remnant. His ground assault thwarted, the commander was approached by Horn with a challenge. The two would duel for the fate of Ithor, with Horn pledging to return Mongei Shai's remains to the commander if killed, and Shai promising that the planet would be spared if he fell to the Jedi's lightsaber. The duel was brutal and resulted in the end of Shedao Shai's life; the warrior fell on the surface of the planet, but his subordinate Deign Lian razed Ithor nonetheless. Following Shai's death, his domain was disgraced, its warriors relegated to tending the ships of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, far from the glory of battle.

August 21, 2009 – Tiss'sharEdit

The Tiss'shar were a species of predatory sentient reptiles from the planet Tiss'sharl. They were comparatively strong, dexterous, and intelligent, and possessed slender frames with long necks and short tails. Their mouths were filled with sharp teeth, and their eyes were dark and glassy.

Members of the species were well known for their considerable business savvy, and Tiss'shar businessbeings could be found throughout the galaxy. They were also known for their cunning assassins, who were sought after for their efficiency and business-like demeanor. Tiss'shar politics were dominated by the Tiss'sharl League, a group of successful business leaders who ran Tiss'sharl's government. Tiss'shar politicians were known for their cutthroat practices, sometimes involving assassination of other members.

The species was caught up in an Imperial scheme eight months after the Battle of Yavin. Ordered by Darth Vader to reduce the prices of one of their world's products, the President of the Tiss'sharl League was approached by an agent of the Rebel Alliance, only to discover that drawing out Rebels was the actual purpose behind Vader's demand.

August 22, 2009 – Garven DreisEdit

Garven "Dave" Dreis was the commander of Red Squadron, and a T-65 X-wing starfighter pilot for the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Originally serving with the Rarefied Air Cavalry, Dreis fought in the Clone Wars that took place from 22 BBY to 19 BBY. During the Battle of Virujansi, Dreis had the opportunity to fly alongside the "Hero With No Fear," Anakin Skywalker. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the subsequent Declaration of a New Order, Dreis joined the Rebel Alliance—an organization dedicated to shaking the Galactic Empire's hold on the galaxy.

In command of Red Squadron, Dreis took the call sign "Red Leader," and the nickname "Boss." He adopted a fatherly approach to commanding his men, and supervised the instruction of new recruits personally. In 0 BBY, he was posted at the Alliance's base on Dantooine, and was transferred to Yavin 4's Great Temple shortly afterward. From there, he led Red Squadron in an attack on the Empire's Death Star superweapon, which was moving to destroy the Alliance base. When an attack run on the battlestation's vulnerable thermal exhaust port from pilot Jon Vander's Gold Squadron failed, Dreis was forced to make his own attempt. He almost succeeded, but his proton torpedoes failed to enter the Death Star's exhaust port. Dreis was subsequently shot down by the Sith Lord Darth Vader.

August 23, 2009 – Andoorni HuiEdit

Andoorni Hui was a Rodian female who served as one of the inaugural pilots of the reformed Rogue Squadron in 6.5 ABY. A huntress determined to further her reputation, Hui joined the New Republic as a pilot. She was hand-picked by Commander Wedge Antilles to join the elite Rogue Squadron; although political pressure forced Antilles to select alien pilots for the roster, he personally assured New Republic Defense Force officials that none of the selected pilots, including Hui, were inferior to any other candidates.

Hui performed well in the Battle of Hensara, where she helped protect a New Republic frigate escape from Imperial capture. She was nearly killed a few days later, however, when a squad of Imperial stormtroopers launched a covert attack against a Rogue Squadron base on Talasea. The attack claimed the life of her roommate and wingmate, Lujayne Forge, and left Hui with near fatal-injuries that incapacitated her from active duty. She recovered in time to participate in the First Battle of Borleias, a disastrous defeat for the New Republic. Hui was killed in the battle when a TIE Interceptor destroyed her X-wing starfighter.

August 24, 2009 – Mezhan KwaadEdit

Mezhan Kwaad, known for her role in conducting experiments upon the captured Jedi apprentice Tahiri Veila in 26 ABY, was a Yuuzhan Vong shaper and the master of Nen Yim. A heretic among her species, Kwaad would often violate, albeit in secret, the laws that governed the shaper caste. By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War, her skill had enabled her to attain the prestigious rank of a master shaper. Heresy, however, was not Kwaad's only transgression against the laws of her species; the shaper fell in love with a commander, Vua Rapuung, and started a forbidden affair with the warrior. When Rapuung ended the relationship due to religious reasons, an enraged Kwaad proclaimed her heresy to him, and openly denounced the existence of the Yuuzhan Vong gods. Paranoid that her secrets would be revealed, Kwaad used her talents to cause Rapuung's body to reject his warrior implants, bestowing upon him the greatest curse for the Yuuzhan Vong—the appearance of a Shamed One. With Rapuung's claims perceived as delusions, Kwaad was able to commit heresy without fear of discovery. She was soon tasked with a project to experiment upon a captured Jedi, Tahiri Veila, in order to discern the cause and source of the Force. As her assistant in the endeavor, Kwaad selected an adept, Nen Yim.

On the moon of Yavin 4, Kwaad and Yim began the process of converting the young Jedi apprentice's memories and personality to those of a Yuuzhan Vong, in tandem with their investigation into the Force. Suspicion, however, hounded Kwaad, and the commander of the base on Yavin 4, Tsaak Vootuh, soon entered into a plot with Yal Phaath, a senior shaper, in order to ascertain whether Yim and her master were committing heresy in their experiments on Veila. Indeed, Kwaad had been clandestinely defying the sacred shaping protocols throughout the project, and was subsequently discovered and arrested. Kwaad's journey into custody was interrupted by the reappearance of Vua Rapuung and his ally Anakin Solo, who pressured the master shaper into revealing her earlier actions against Rapuung. The master shaper attempted to escape, but was decapitated by Veila before she could flee. Among the various castes of the Yuuzhan Vong, Kwaad was remembered as an arch-heretic, and her domain was disgraced. Among the Shamed Ones, on the other hand, Kwaad entered into the epic cycle of the legend of Vua Rapuung, one of the central tenets of the heretical movement that arose following the events on Yavin 4.

August 25, 2009 – Pashna StarkillerEdit

Pashna Starkiller was a seasoned military officer whose skills helped shape Rebel Alliance military planning. Coming out of retirement and joining the Rebellion at a time when it sought experienced leaders to help formulate strategy for its new military, the Mon Calamari Starkiller rose to become one of the Alliance's highest-ranked members. As a younger generation of military men and women rose, Starkiller relinquished some of his responsibility, though he continued to advise the Rebellion on strategic matters. In 1 ABY, Starkiller spent some time in the city of Bela Vistal on Corellia, where he ordered the assassination of an Imperial officer who threatened Rebel operations on Tralus.

In time, Starkiller retired again, only to find himself called upon by famed Rebel strategist Jan Dodonna during the fight against the resurrected Palpatine. Starkiller joined a number of other retired officers, including Vanden Willard and Adar Tallon, in an advisory body that called itself the "Gray Cadre." Providing strategic planning for what was now the New Republic, Starkiller and his peers were responsible for saving millions of lives in the war. When that crisis was averted, he returned to a state of semi-retirement, continuing to receive intelligence briefings and regularly meeting with Dodonna and the others to advise the New Republic on its continuing war against the Empire.

August 26, 2009 – KrudarEdit

Krudar was a male Duros gunner who served with the Alliance to Restore the Republic, pirates, and the New Republic during his career. Originally a member of the Rebel Alliance, Krudar left their service after becoming convinced that the organization used their mandate of bringing freedom to the galaxy to justify acts of terrorism and violence. Joining a group of pirates, Krudar befriended the Guudrian Boom, and crewed with them until the gang was destroyed by Imperial forces.

Hiding out on Kal'Shebbol in the Kathol sector with Boom, Krudar was present when the New Republic launched an assault on the planet to liberate it from the rule of Imperial warlord Moff Kentor Sarne. Despite the successful freeing of the world, Moff Sarne managed to escape into the Kathol sector with the majority of his forces. The New Republic authorized the CR90 corvette FarStar to track down the rogue warlord and neutralize any threat he posed to the region, but was forced to recruit from the civilian population of Kal'Shebbol to crew the vessel. Krudar joined the mission and convinced the New Republic selectors to accept Boom as well. The Duros served on the FarStar throughout its mission into the Kathol sector, participating in several missions along the way. However, his surly and temperamental attitude did little to endear him to the rest of the crew, and he was involved in several confrontations with other personnel during the mission. At the end of the FarStar mission, he participated in the Battle of Kathol, an engagement that saw the end of Moff Sarne.

August 27, 2009 – GroznikEdit

Groznik was a Wookiee who played key roles in Rogue Squadron operations on Cilpar and Mrlsst. Enslaved by the Galactic Empire prior to the Battle of Endor, he swore a life debt to Throm Loro after the freedom fighter liberated him and saved his life. The two developed a very close bond, and Groznik traveled with him to Cilpar in an attempt to free the world from Imperial rule. When Loro died at the Battle of the Cliffs, Groznik became distraught, but transferred his life debt to Throm's wife, Elscol, and continued his work with the Cilpari Resistance.

With the help of Commander Wedge Antilles and his fellow Rogue pilots, Elscol Loro and Groznik led the resistance movement to success against Moff Boren Tascl in 4 ABY. After Loro joined Rogue Squadron, Groznik accompanied her to Mrlsst to negotiate for Rebel Alliance control of the Phantom Project, a supposed cloaking device for starships.

On that planet, Groznik and Loro encountered what appeared to be the Force ghost of Throm Loro, which was in fact a Mrlssi Laser Phantom controlled by weapon designer Rorax Falken. Falken used the phantom Loro to take control of Groznik and pit him against Rogue Squadron. When stormtroopers killed Falken and the phantom Loro disappeared, the pain of once again losing his master pushed Groznik to ferociously attack the Imperials, allowing the Rogues to escape. Groznik sacrificed himself when he prevented Imperial officer Loka Hask from escaping Falken's Lab before it was destroyed by the gravitic polarization beam, a superweapon designed by Falken. Both Hask and Groznik were killed in the weapon's destruction.

August 28, 2009 – KouhunEdit

Kouhuns were vermiform arthropods with segmented bodies, roughly thirty centimeters long, from the jungle world of Induomodo. Small, silent, and fast, kouhuns were capable of delivering a fatal and quick-acting neurotoxin through their bite, as well as a nonfatal but nonetheless painful sting from their tails. Kouhuns were white in color, though they also existed in reddish-brown and black varieties.

Kouhuns could survive in almost any environment except extreme cold. On their homeworld, they nested in hollow trees and hunted creatures the size of dogs. Though omnivorous, kouhuns were predatory, detecting their prey by its body heat and then attacking it, often choosing between prey simply on the basis of which victim was closest. They were aggressive creatures, but could be scared away by attackers, though they turned to fight when cornered.

Because of their many advantages for covert killings, kouhuns were a favored weapon of assassins. They would be starved so that they would attack immediately upon being released, then infiltrated into a victim's home via a droid, package, or even by slipping through tight spaces such as open windows or ducts. Kouhun nests, spawned by kouhuns who had escaped from assassins, could be found on a number of worlds from the Outer Rim Territories to the Core, including Coruscant.

August 29, 2009 – Gwellib Ap-LlewffEdit

Gwellib Ap-Llewff was an Imperial Inquisitor and Dark Side Adept during the Galactic Civil War. Originally a Jedi, he was not selected to become a Padawan, instead joining the Agricultural Corps. He was part of a group of AgriCorps members and other Force-sensitives captured and kept in captivity on Byss shortly after the Clone Wars, but was freed when Darth Vader selected him and three others to become his first Inquisitors. Gwellib was taken to Coruscant with the others and was taught the art of lightsaber combat and other dark side abilities by Lord Vader, though he was often bested by another trainee, Antinnis Tremayne. In 19 BBY, Gwellib and his fellow Inquisitors failed to capture fugitive Jedi Padawan "Jodd Sonta," though they did not report their failure to Vader.

Eventually, Gwellib returned to Byss to serve as one of Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side Adepts, and was stationed alongside Savuud Thimram at the entrance to the Emperor's Citadel. He was still on Byss with the Reborn Emperor in 10 ABY; he and Thimram taunted Luke Skywalker as he attempted to gain an audience with Palpatine.

August 30, 2009 – LaigrekEdit

Laigreks were a non-sentient species of predatory insect native to the grassy Outer Rim world of Dantooine, where they infested the dark and dank subterranean areas of the planet. Possessing six legs, they bore black exoskeletons with red and white undersides. Their heads also sported a pair of horn-like protrusions, with bulbous red compound eyes. Laigreks were not seen around Dantooine's Jedi Enclave prior to 3,956 BBY, and only glimpsed five years after the Enclave had been bombarded by forces of the Sith Empire under Darth Malak during the height of the Jedi Civil War. They were known to live underground within the hilly regions that surrounded the former Jedi academy. However, in the wake of the bombardment, they began to infest the ruined academy's sublevel. During the time that the Khoonda outpost attempted to assert control of Dantooine, laigreks terrorized the salvagers trying to raid the Enclave for artifacts, often killing would-be treasure hunters. They occasionally ventured out of the Enclave's sublevel, though they left the surrounding territories to other creatures.

August 31, 2009 – Star Wars: Tales of the JediEdit

Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, abbreviated as TotJ, is a comic book series covering eight story arcs, all published by Dark Horse Comics. The first story arc, entitled Ulic Qel-Droma and the Beast Wars of Onderon, was written by veteran Star Wars author Tom Veitch, and was part of the first series of comics, which eventually became known as Knights of the Old Republic. Veitch went on to write the next two story arcs, The Saga of Nomi Sunrider and The Freedon Nadd Uprising, and co-authored the fourth story arc, Dark Lords of the Sith, with fellow author Kevin J. Anderson. With the successful completion of Dark Lords of the Sith, Anderson continued the TotJ series as the sole storyline writer, with Veitch opting not to continue writing for the series. Anderson went on to write the final two story arcs, involving the main protagonist Ulic Qel-Droma, completing The Sith War in the spring of 1996 and Redemption in the fall of 1998. In the years between the writing of The Sith War and Redemption, Anderson pioneered two more story arcs, both taking place 1,000 years before the other TotJ stories, and introducing readers to the events surrounding the Great Hyperspace War. The Tales of the Jedi story arcs are the currently the earliest-set Star Wars works.

Set during the Old Republic era, six of the eight Tales of the Jedi story arcs take place during the time surrounding the events known collectively as the Great Sith War, a conflict instigated by Sith forces aimed at galactic domination. These six story arcs nominally focus on the Jedi Knight turned Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, his love interest Nomi Sunrider, and a cast of supporting characters, including Ulic's own brother Cay Qel-Droma. Likewise, first appearing in Dark Lords of the Sith, the fallen Jedi Exar Kun would go on to become a Dark Lord of the Sith and wage war against the Republic and Jedi. The remaining two story arcs, The Golden Age of the Sith and The Fall of the Sith Empire, occur in the year 5,000 BBY and revolve around Sith Lord Naga Sadow and his schemes to invade Republic space through his manipulation of the Daragon siblings, Gav and Jori.

The Tales of the Jedi saga also produced several non-comic productions, such as the Tales of the Jedi Companion, a sourcebook for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, and two different audio dramas based on various TotJ comics. Tales of the Jedi was the inspiration for the popular Knights of the Old Republic video game series, and a bridging comic is currently being published by Dark Horse Comics.

September 1, 2009 – HarkovEdit

Harkov was an admiral who served in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, he was charged with bringing an end to the Sepan Civil War, and succeeded in bringing order to the system. However, during the campaign, he also supplied Imperial arms to both sides. Around the same time, Harkov began negotiating his defection to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, promising to take the fleet under his command with him for a high enough price. Though Harkov took measures to cover his tracks, going so far as to kill Admiral Mordon when the Imperial began to get suspicious, details of his dealings eventually came to light and Imperial investigators began to close in on the admiral, forcing him to complete his defection ahead of schedule. However, Harkov was frustrated in his attempt to defect by the Secret Order of the Emperor and Imperial forces under the command of Darth Vader. Despite the assistance of his Rebel allies, the Imperials were eventually able to capture him and he was interrogated and executed by the Dark Lord of the Sith.

September 2, 2009 – Goran BeviinEdit

Goran Beviin was a Human male Mandalorian commando, a bounty hunter, and a contract killer active under the New Republic and into the early years of the Galactic Alliance. In 24 ABY, Beviin was on Nar Shaddaa when he met a man named Udelen, who turned out to be a vanguard for an invading extragalactic species, the Yuuzhan Vong. The Mandalorians made a deal with the Yuuzhan Vong, becoming a hired hand for the Yuuzhan Vong's ensuing attack on the galaxy. However, after Beviin and the Mandalorians disobeyed an order to capture a Jedi named Kubariet on New Holgha, the Mandalorians began working against the Yuuzhan Vong. Beviin fought in the Yuuzhan Vong War alongside Kubariet, and afterward, settled down on his farm on the planet Mandalore with his partner Medrit Vasur. He was one of Boba Fett's most trusted lieutenants, and was once called upon to be interim Mandalore while Fett was away. In 40 ABY, Beviin helped train Jedi Knight Jaina Solo to defeat her Sith Lord brother, Darth Caedus.

September 3, 2009 – Jes GistangEdit

Jes Gistang was a Corellian Human female who served as a stormtrooper in Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire circa 137 ABY. As a young woman, she decided to join the 407th Stormtrooper Division through the Imperial Mission, an organization that helped individuals to spread Imperial influence. Put in charge of the heavy artillery in Joker Squad, she quickly found a home among the 407th, and was a talented and responsible soldier. When Anson Trask joined the 407th, Gistang quickly doubted him, betting fellow soldier Vax Potorr that he would last just six hours on the battlefield.

She guided Trask and gave him tips to help him survive among the stormtroopers, and even sympathized with the man. Later, when Lieutenant Gil Cassel informed the 407th that they would be participating in a battle on Borosk against the 908th Stormtrooper Division, which had joined the forces of deposed Emperor Roan Fel, she quickly disagreed with the mission, and even argued that the 407th should join Fel themselves. Gistang reluctantly participated in the Battle of Borosk itself when they were ordered into action. Gistang was killed during the second day of fighting, when her power pak was hit by a stray blaster bolt, causing it to explode and incinerate her.

September 4, 2009 – Uueg TchingEdit

Uueg Tching, a male member of the Kitel Phard Dynasty and the fifty-fourth Emperor of Atrisia, was famous for his ability to keep order through espionage, assassination, and deception. Through his direction, he was able to subvert over thirty rebellions to his rule; Uueg's empire was used a basis for the Galactic Empire, which was founded by Palpatine some 3,000 years after Uueg's death.

Uueg's ascension to Emperor coincided with the discovery of several additional continents on his homeworld, but he was able to unify the continents through oppression, until the Atrisian Empire ruled the entire planet. Uueg was revered by many of his subjects, and he was constantly trailed by a cadre of scribes, who documented his teachings on scrolls, which eventually became known as the Sayings, lessons he hoped would help his descendants thrive when they reached power themselves. After his death, few members of the Tching Dynasty grasped his teachings, though those who did had very successful reigns. The Sayings became famous across the galaxy centuries after Uueg's time; they were quoted at Commission for the Protection of the Republic rallies, in historical documents, and were taught to all new recruits of Imperial Intelligence.

September 5, 2009 – Jozzel MoffetEdit

Jozzel Moffet was the handmaiden of Malta the Hutt before the Battle of Yavin. Having taken the job in the hopes of seeking her fortune, she saw her chance to break away from her master and do just that after learning of the existence of the Yavin Vassilika. Moffet manipulated Malta, along with the Hutts Embra and Jabba, into a contest to see who could locate the Vassilika first—her true intention was to steal the artifact and sell it to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Each Hutt assembled a team to locate the Vassilika and Moffet followed them in their search, eventually joining up with Jabba's team, led by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. After locating the Vassilika on an uncharted planet in the Unknown Regions, Moffet turned on her companions, stealing the Vassilika and heading for a rendezvous with General Jan Dodonna of the Rebel Alliance. After receiving her payment from the Rebels, however, she was in turn double-crossed by Embra's handmaiden, Farquil Ban'n, and shot dead in the jungles of the fourth moon of Yavin.

September 6, 2009 – KuellerEdit

Kueller was a Force-sensitive Human male who was originally known as Dolph. At some point before 17 ABY, he was a student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. Early in his training, Dolph's homeworld of Almania experienced a purge by the Je'har, the ruling government, who sought to crush all who resisted them, including Dolph's parents. The pain and anguish resulting from their deaths caused him to leave the academy and turn to the dark side of the Force. He changed his name to Kueller and began a resistance movement to wipe out the Je'har. With the power of the dark side at his command, he succeeded in his goal by utterly destroying the Je'har and their sympathizers and also attracted another one of Skywalker's failed students, Brakiss, as an apprentice. In the process, he wiped out the populace of one of Almania's moons, Pydyr.

However, even with the Je'har defeated, Kueller sought revenge against Skywalker and the New Republic for not aiding the people of Almania when they had come under attack. He placed Brakiss in charge of a droid manufacturing facility on Telti, and used it to produce a large number of explosive-rigged droids for sale to the New Republic, including many that were used in its fleet of X-wing starfighters. When Kueller activated some of his droids, a series of explosions ripped through the Senate Hall on Coruscant, injuring Chief of State Leia Organa Solo and sowing discord through the New Republic as part of his plan. In response, Skywalker pursued his former pupil to Almania, but Kueller sabotaged the Jedi Master's X-wing. After a crash landing, the injured Skywalker was easily captured, but managed to escape. Meanwhile, Organa Solo took a New Republic fleet with her under the command of General Wedge Antilles to confront Kueller. The Dark Jedi ordered his subordinates to engage the New Republic fleet while he dealt with Skywalker. When Kueller caught up with Skywalker on the surface of Almania, he bested the weakened Jedi Master and threatened to kill his newly-arrived sister, Organa Solo. However, Han Solo and Mara Jade arrived soon thereafter, along with a ysalamir; the Force-repelling bubble effect of the ysalamir and the arrival of Skywalker's friends threatened Kueller's advantage. Outraged, he prepared to activate another round of detonator-equipped droids, but his bombs were deactivated by C-3PO and R2-D2 who were on Telti,and he was fatally shot by Leia Organa Solo, ending his plans for a new rebellion.

September 7, 2009 – WaruEdit

Waru was a trans-dimensional being from a universe parallel to the galaxy's own. His species was unmatched by any of the known species in both the New Republic database as well as other sources. Waru was considered a healer by many, due to his ability to treat injuries utilizing his own body. Physically, Waru was predominantly blob-shaped, and consisted of several golden plates acting as shields around a layer of raw, permeable tissue. A thick, syrupy liquid, comparable to ichor, flowed freely from within Waru through the spaces between the covering plates. The inside of Waru was much larger than the outside revealed, allowing three adult Humans enough space to swim through, and was breathable by Humans.

Some time before 14 ABY, Waru was sent from his own dimension due to the combined efforts of the crystallizing star Crseih and the combination of research and sacrifices of Imperial Procurator of Justice and former apprentice of Darth Vader Hethrir, who was searching for the means to acquire complete mastery of the Force. Waru, looking for a way to return home, met with Hethrir; in order to accomplish this, the being agreed to grant Hethrir his wish concerning the Force if the former Procurator could bring Waru a being powerful enough to create a path home. Hethrir began a quest to fulfill Waru's wishes, and in the meantime Waru resided on Crseih Station, where before long had a following, called the Cult of Waru, aboard the research station. During this time, he resided in an arena containing the Altar of Waru where he would gather those who wished to be healed. Eventually, Hethrir's quest started to prove fruitful after coming upon and kidnapping the Solo children, of which he planned to sacrifice Anakin Solo in order to fulfill his end of the bargain. This forced Leia Organa Solo, along with astromech droid R2-D2 and Wookiee Chewbacca, to pursue the kidnappers, meeting Hethrir's wife Rillao along the way.

Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and the protocol droid C-3PO, investigating a report sent by the mercenary agent Xaverri, one of Waru's confidants, and an old flame of Solo's, arrived at Crseih Station to look into Waru's actions. While Solo was originally skeptical and convinced of Waru's intent to harm supplicants seeking his healing power, Skywalker became enamored at the golden being's actions, and began seeking a way to heal himself of the effects of the dying crystal star, which were severing his ties to the Force and making the Jedi feel as if he were dying. Soon after, Hethrir arrived on the research station to present young Anakin, but was stopped by Tigris, the Dark Jedi's son. Waru, exhausted and lonely, demanded a sacrifice; Skywalker stepped in at this time and offered himself. Waru gladly accepted it, much to the shock and dismay of both Leia and Han Solo, who were present, and who both took pursuit into Waru's body. They rescued Skywalker and exited Waru; this angered the trans-dimensional golden being, who turned on his former ally Hethrir, consumed him, and then collapsed into himself and disappeared. It was unsure to those present, as well as those who reported on the events, what happened after Waru contracted; different sources claim that he survived and was teleported home, yet another claims that he died there.

September 8, 2009 – Vara NreemEdit

Vara Nreem was a Human female who served as a Jedi Knight during the days of the Old Republic. Believing she could learn the secrets of the Sith without allowing herself to fall to the dark side, Nreem traveled to the planet of Krayiss Two in the year 4,000 BBY, where it had been previously discovered that an ancient Sith presence was located somewhere on the planet. Eventually finding her way to an age-old Sith obelisk, Nreem was able to make contact with a 10,000 year old Sith spirit. This spirit resided within the walls of a library-temple, which had been confined with the circular walls of the obelisk. Managing to communicate with the Sith specter, Nreem believed that she had been able to fool the spirit into telling her its secrets; however, the Sith had not been fooled and proceeded to attack Nreem. Just before being killed by the Sith ghost, Nreem realized that she had underestimated the dark side of the Force, and that it had been her own disparaging attitude toward her enemy that had led to her death.

September 9, 2009 – Gaege XarranEdit

A military man, Gaege Xarran served in the Imperial Army, first as a member of the Emperor's Royal Guard, and later as a general. Dedicated to the armed forces, Xarran was placed in command of an Imperial garrison on the planet Vryssa during the height of the Galactic Empire. With his base on the planet protected by advanced technology, as well as a complement of troops and starfighters in which Xarran had total confidence, the Imperial general offered asylum to his wayward brother, Rivo Xarran, who had crossed the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure and was fleeing bounty hunters. Upon Rivo's arrival, however, it soon emerged that General Xarran's garrison had come in the way of Boba Fett, who was pursuing the bounty on Xarran's brother.

Xarran's prideful statement that the garrison on Vryssa could withstand any intruder was taken as a challenge by Fett, who set to work on eliminating or evading the base's many troops and defenses. After Xarran saw two of his military detachments destroyed at the hands of the bounty hunter, and his starfighters thwarted by a diversion, the general grew frenzied, putting the lives of his subordinates at risk in unsuccessful attempts to rid himself of his opponent. Eventually, Xarran evacuated his base, took up arms, and went after Fett alone, ambushing and injuring the bounty hunter deep within the garrison. During the short confrontation that ensued, the former Royal Guardsman was killed by his quarry.

September 10, 2009 – Ragez D'AstaEdit

Ragez D'Asta was a powerful shipping magnate and Baron of the Galactic Empire, as well as a firm supporter of Emperor Palpatine. Commanding the largest privately-owned fleet in the galaxy, producing most of the cargo ships used by the Empire, and controlling the strategically important D'Astan sector, D'Asta was a respected and influential individual. He was a member of the Imperial Ruling Council until illness forced him to step down, leaving his daughter Feena to take his place on the Council and represent his interests.

Feena was part of a successful conspiracy to end the life of Emperor Palpatine, and afterward became part of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council, the new ruling body of the Empire, where she continued to represent D'Asta. When the Council was taken over by Xandel Carivus, who declared himself the new Emperor, Feena was arrested as a traitor. In response, D'Asta commanded his armada in an attack on Ord Cantrell, headquarters of the Council. When he learned of Carivus' involvement in the conspiracy against Palpatine from Royal Guardsman Kir Kanos, D'Asta aided Kanos in assassinating the self-proclaimed Emperor. With the Imperial government dismantled, D'Asta declared his sector independent from the Empire and the New Republic.

September 11, 2009 – Satal KetoEdit

Satal Keto was a Human male native to the planet Empress Teta, the son of Lord Keto, nephew of Lady Magda Keto, and the cousin of Aleema Keto. He and Aleema co-founded the Krath, a secret dark side society, and together they succeeded in overthrowing the Tetan Monarchy just prior to the Great Sith War. As the new co-rulers of the Empress Teta system, Satal and Aleema instigated the conflict known as the Krath Holy Crusade. Keto's progression down the path of the dark side saw him transformed into an accomplished Sith magician, though his true talents were in the creation of poisons and other alchemical Sith practices.

Shortly after the First Battle of Empress Teta, Satal and Aleema accepted a rogue Jedi named Ulic Qel-Droma into their fold. Time passed, and Keto grew increasingly suspicious of Qel-Droma, fearing he had ulterior motives for joining the Krath. As Qel-Droma advanced through the Krath ranks, he became Aleema's lover, further spurring Keto's jealousy and his suspicions of Qel-Droma's true purpose. It was not until another Jedi was captured in the streets of Cinnagar that Qel-Droma's infiltration plot was exposed, and Keto decided to have Qel-Droma assassinated. The assassination attempt failed, and during the resulting confrontation, Qel-Droma struck Keto down in a fit of rage.

September 12, 2009 – Osvald TeshikEdit

Osvald Teshik was a Grand Admiral in the Imperial Navy. He was one of the original twelve Grand Admirals, appointed to that newly created rank by Emperor Palpatine two years before the Battle of Yavin. He commanded the Imperial Center Oversector, which included the capital world of Imperial Center and all of the oversector's fleets.

For failing to recover Advisor Coh Veshiv from the crew of the Rebel Alliance privateering frigate Far Orbit and deal with its renegade captain, Dhas Fenoep Vedij, Palpatine sent Teshik into the Hapes Cluster to engage the Hapan Royal Navy with insufficient firepower and supplies. He was nearly killed in the battle, and seventy-five percent of Teshik's body required cybernetic replacements. He was shunned by many as a result, who saw him as weak and repulsive.

Teshik was present aboard the second Death Star during the Rebellion's attack on the superweapon in 4 ABY. He escaped the badly-damaged battlestation to his flagship, the Star Destroyer Eleemosynary, and continued the fight against the Rebels for four hours until his Star Destroyer was disabled by concentrated ion cannon fire. He was captured by the Alliance, and before being executed for inhuman crimes, he responded to his captors with mechanical laughter at the thought of his sentence.

September 13, 2009 – Kalyn FarnmirEdit

Kalyn Farnmir was a female Human member of the Kuati Security Forces who was framed by corrupt officials of Kuat Drive Yards and forced into the career of bounty hunting. Teaming up with the slicer Cian Shee, Farnmir enjoyed relative success in her new profession. Together, they were able to claim the bounty for Disciples of Psusan leader Scri Oscuro's capture.

The Zealots of Psusan planned revenge, and were able to sway Shee to work with them to kill Farnmir. When Farnmir learned of this, she invited Shee to the Outlander Club on Coruscant, a place known to be popular amongst the Psusan. She gleaned intelligence from Zealot Nyrat Agira, confirming her suspicions about Shee. Confronting Shee, Farnmir tried to apprehend her, but her former partner was too fast. Shee subsequently called off the deal with Oscuro and the Psusan, and Farnmir resumed her life as a bounty hunter. She disagreed with the views of Palpatine's New Order, and worked for the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. Eventually, she came across Shee again on Nar Shaddaa. There, Farnmir killed her former partner in single combat.

September 14, 2009 – Y'bithEdit

The Y'bith (or "Ghost Bith") were a subspecies of the Bith. The ancestors of the Y'bith were merely Bith who occupied the domed city of Nozho on Clak'dor VII, but a civil war between that city and the planet's capital, Weogar, would inadvertently create the subspecies. Weogar launched a biological attack against Nozho, destroying most of the wildlife and killing many of the citizens. Those who survived suffered from mutagenic irregularities, leading them to be branded as "Ghost Bith." The Y'bith eventually left what remained of Nozho, and relocated to Clak'dor IV.

Bioengineers were able to stabilize the mutation of the Y'bith, but the beings took some time to adapt to their newfound genetic features. Developing their own culture, the Y'bith were never fully embraced by the Bith, who cited the volatile biochemistry of the subspecies which made them violent and aggressive. Nevertheless, the Y'bith strove to be accepted by the galactic community as a whole, and their city of New Nozho became a notable trade port. The Y'bith also aided in the rebuilding efforts that took place in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Drigor Tarrens was a male Human scientist from a colony in the Kathol Outback, a largely unexplored sector of space beyond the edge of the Kathol sector. Believing that biological technology was superior to traditional inanimate technology, he joined a group of like-minded scientists known as the Qektoth Confederation who were based at the University of Sanbra's Q'Maere Research Facility within the Kathol Rift. After a series of experiments came back with disappointing results, the scientists left the facility to pursue their own goals, and Tarrens accompanied them. During his time with the Confederation, the organization changed from a group of idealistic scientists trying to save the galaxy from the perceived dangers of traditional technologies, to a militant order that advocated war against those that would use their technology to keep the population of the galaxy "enslaved." Tarrens disagreed with these views, and learned of a project that would use the genetic material of the Confederation's own members to create new life-forms.

Before Tarrens could reveal this plan to the rest of the organization, his starfighter exploded upon take-off, and his life was saved through the use of cybernetics. Charged with treason, which was punishable by death, Tarrens fled to the planet Uukaablis and was granted political asylum. There, Tarrens lived in seclusion until the crew of the New Republic CR90 corvette FarStar sought his help. They had encountered a biochemical agent created by the Confederation, and needed a cure for it. After learning that he might have been exposed to the agent as well, Tarrens directed them to a research facility in the Qu'mock system. After the FarStar delegation left, Tarrens discovered that he had been infected by the agent, and realized that the crew of the New Republic ship was his only hope. Taking his personal Helix-class light interceptor to the Qu'mock system, Tarrens was instrumental in helping the FarStar to defeat a Qektoth Attack Cruiser, and recover the data needed to create a cure for the agent.

September 16, 2009 – Rufaan TigellinusEdit

Rufaan Tigellinus was a Grand Admiral and later a Grand Moff of the Galactic Empire until his death in 5 ABY. Known for his political savvy and charisma, Tigellinus was widely followed in the media and was considered to be a key player in Imperial Court politics. He was made a Grand Admiral in 2 BBY and, from the helm of his Imperial-class Star Destroyer, Avatar, spent much time rooting out pirates in the Outer Rim Territories. During the Galactic Civil War, Tigellinus stepped up in the Imperial Court in a bid for further power, allying himself with the likes of Moff Vilim Disra and Imperial Advisor Alec Pradeux, and becoming a member of the ancient, exclusive Order of the Canted Circle. When Thrawn, an alien admiral in the Imperial Navy, tried his hand at Imperial Court politics, the Humanocentric Grand Admiral Tigellinus befriended and later betrayed him, until Thrawn was unwelcome in the Empire.

Soon thereafter, Tigellinus brought his political clout to bear in order to have himself appointed as Grand Moff of the Imperial Center Oversector with the help of Vilim Disra, who became something of a mentor to Tigellinus. After Emperor Palpatine perished at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Tigellinus became involved with the Central Committee of Grand Moffs. The Committee's leader, Bertroff Hissa, a near-Human with whom Tigellinus had frequently butted heads, presented Tigellinus with a demeaning offer—a place on the Committee but not the leadership many had expected he would be awarded—hoping that he would refuse and give Hissa an excuse to execute him. Tigellinus prepared to accept the offer, but his close friend Disra advised against this; Tigellinus refused the appointment, and the Committee executed him for perceived disloyalty, while Disra laid claims to his assets and seat on the Committee.

September 17, 2009 – GraelEdit

A Force-sensitive Ewok, Grael was a warrior, a master hunter, an exceptional musician, and an agent of the New Republic. A native of Tribe Panshee village on the Forest Moon of Endor, he was named after an Ewok deity, and was a devout follower of the way of the Tree Spirits. He was a skilled hunter, often leading expeditions or hunting solo with great success. Although he did not know it, the Force guided him while hunting, letting him know his prey's location.

In 4 ABY, he encountered Rebel Captain Junas Turner by chance while hunting, and the two were captured by Imperial stormtroopers. They were transported to the prison facility at Balis-Baurgh, where Grael slowly learned Basic from Turner and several of his Rebel allies. Eventually, Grael realized he was able to use his flute to command the droids who maintained the prison, and he had them free himself and Turner, though he could not rescue the other Rebels. They commandeered a starship and traveled to Sullust, hoping to warn the Rebel fleet of the second Death Star. By the time they arrived, however, the Rebels had already engaged the Death Star at Endor, and destroyed it. Grael returned home to his family, before partaking in many Rebel and New Republic missions with Turner.

September 18, 2009 – Kas'imEdit

Kas'im was a male Twi'lek and Dark Lord of the Sith who lived during the New Sith Wars. Bought from slavery by the Sith Lord Na'daz, Kas'im became his chosen apprentice before he could walk, and spent the following years training in the Sith arts. His master taught him in the ways of all seven forms of lightsaber combat, and eventually, Kas'im killed his master in a duel.

Shortly after Lord Kaan founded the Brotherhood of Darkness, he invited Kas'im to join with him, outlining his plan for victory against the Jedi Order. Kas'im agreed, and for much of the war he served as the Sith Blademaster on Korriban, teaching the Brotherhood's students the art of lightsaber combat. When the Human apprentice Bane lost in a practice duel to Sirak, a Zabrak apprentice, Bane appealed to the Blademaster to train him privately in combat so that he could become skilled enough to beat Sirak and take his revenge. However, the Headmaster of the Academy, Qordis, had ordered the other Masters at the school to cease Bane's preferential treatment when Bane began to pull away from the dark side after killing of the student Fohargh in an earlier duel. Knowing that Bane had considerable potential in the dark side, Kas'im chose to defy the orders of Qordis and taught Bane in secret.

However, Bane eventually left the Academy and the Brotherhood after a conflict with Qordis. Kas'im traveled to Ruusan with many of his students, after a summoning from the Brotherhood's de facto leader, Kaan. Kaan had called them all to participate in what he believed would be the final battle against the forces of the Jedi Order and their Army of Light, led by the Jedi Master Lord Hoth. The guerrilla tactics Hoth employed irritated the Brotherhood's forces—Kas'im particularly. No longer believing the Blademaster could control his bloodlust so close to battle, Kaan sent Kas'im to try and sway Bane back to the Brotherhood, or kill him. The Blademaster then traveled to Lehon under Kaan's instruction, where he found the former student Bane. After an intense confrontation in which Bane bluntly refused to rejoin the Brotherhood, the pair fought a vicious duel that resulted in the death of Kas'im.

September 19, 2009 – MontrossEdit

Montross was a Mandalorian-turned-bounty hunter who competed with Jango Fett to become the template for the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic. Originally one of Jaster Mereel's True Mandalorians, Montross fought in the Mandalorian Civil War, where he was known for his brutal tactics and reckless acts. When a young boy called Jango Fett joined the Mandalorians and was treated like a son by Mereel, Montross was angered by Mereel's favoritism of Fett and became contemptuous of him. In an engagement on Korda 6, Montross left Mereel to die. He attempted to claim the title of Mandalore, but was thwarted by Fett, who told the true story of Mereel's death to the other Mandalorians, took over, and banished Montross.

Montross became a bounty hunter; known for his ruthlessness, he almost never took a live bounty. In 32 BBY, he and Fett, now also a bounty hunter, were selected by the ex-Jedi Count Dooku to participate in a hunt to capture or kill the leader of the Bando Gora cult, Dooku's former apprentice Komari Vosa. Montross did battle with Fett on Coruscant and Malastare, then later set about tracking the other bounty hunter to lead him to Vosa's lair. After killing Fett's friend and contact Rozatta, Montross learned that the Bando Gora headquarters was on the graveyard moon of Kohlma. On that world he once again fought with Fett and was defeated, before being torn to shreds by the Bando Gora.

September 20, 2009 – Pau'anEdit

Pau'ans were gaunt near-Humans native to the planet Utapau. Also known as Utapauns and Ancients due to their long lifespans, they co-existed on Utapau with the Utai. The two species got along well, with the Pau'ans assuming leadership roles on the planet. Though some viewed the Pau'ans as frightening, they were friendly, and were more than happy to welcome visitors to their little-known world. Due to Utapau's remoteness in the Outer Rim Territories, the Pau'ans were isolated for most of their history. However, they played a part in galactic events in 19 BBY, when the Confederacy of Independent Systems conquered Utapau. The Pau'ans opposed the Confederacy with the aid of the Republic, and later opposed the Empire, after Imperials took control of their planet following the Declaration of a New Order.

September 21, 2009 – Myhr RhoEdit

Myhr Rho was a tour guide who ran the "Skywalker Tour" in the wake of the Battle of Endor. A member of the Cathar species, he was born on the planet of the same name, but was raised on the arid Outer Rim Territories world of Tatooine. Rho hated the planet, and he was unable to find honest work in Mos Eisley. During the early years of the Galactic Civil War, he spent most of his time in Chalmun's Cantina, drinking away his worries.

When the Alliance to Restore the Republic won the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY and Emperor Palpatine died, Rho joined in the city-wide celebration in Mos Eisley. He later learned that Luke Skywalker, a hero of the Alliance, had originally hailed from Tatooine; inspired by the plays performed at the cantina by Cebann Veekan and Ackmena, Rho decided to start the "Skywalker Tour." Rho's tour took visitors to pivotal locations in Skywalker's life, such as the Lars homestead and the Great Pit of Carkoon. Blessed with success at last, Rho began to finally appreciate his desert homeworld.

September 22, 2009 – Sardu SalloweEdit

Sardu Sallowe was a Tusken Raider from Tatooine who eventually left his home planet to search for his fortune off-world as a bounty hunter. Due to the excellent tracking skills he had developed during his early life, he became a very successful bounty hunter, coming to the attention of Embra the Hutt. Sallowe worked with the likes of 4-LOM and Zuckuss, as well as a group of Jawas who regularly assisted him.

His most famous achievement came shortly before the Battle of Yavin, when Sallowe, 4-LOM and Zuckuss were hired by Embra to retrieve the fabled Yavin Vassilika. The group found themselves competing with teams working for the rival Hutts Jabba and Malta, yet were able to keep up with the competition as the search led them to Kalkovak, Mon Calamari, and deep into Wild Space. The Vassilika eventually fell into the hands of Malta's handmaiden, Jozzel Moffet, who planned to sell it to the Rebel Alliance on Yavin 4. Sallowe was among those who pursued her there and, after Moffet was killed by Embra's assistant Farquil Ban'n, the Bith handmaiden took Moffet's payment for herself and provided Sallowe and Zuckuss with a replica to return to Embra. Though they had won the race, most of their reward was spent repairing the damage that 4-LOM sustained during the treasure hunt.

September 23, 2009 – Syal AntillesEdit

Syal Antilles was the eldest daughter of Wedge Antilles and Iella Wessiri Antilles. She was born in 17 ABY on Corellia, and though her father was often away due to his New Republic Defense Force obligations, she inherited his love of piloting. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Syal, her mother, and her younger sister Myri were forced to flee their home on Coruscant when it fell to the Yuuzhan Vong. While Iella Wessiri Antilles returned to active service as an Intelligence officer, Syal and Myri were sent to a Jedi sanctuary in the The Maw for their safety.

Years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Syal and the rest of her family moved back to the Antilles homeworld of Corellia. She completed school there and eventually joined the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet as a starfighter pilot, training under her father's old wingman, Tycho Celchu. However, she did so under the name Lysa Dunter, in an effort to keep away unwanted attention concerning her famous lineage. In the Second Galactic Civil War, Syal was part of the Galactic Alliance Operation Roundabout, and the resulting clashes between Corellian forces and the Galactic Alliance Fleet saw her engage in combat, which on two occasions brought her into conflict with her father, who was flying for the Corellians. After her identity was revealed, Syal was forced to change squadrons, and served in the Battle of Tralus. She continued to serve in the Galactic Alliance military throughout the war, and also began romantically seeing another pilot, Tiom Mordon; the two began considering marriage as their relationship developed.

Toward the latter stages of the war, after her father broke with the Corellians and joined up with the renegade Jedi Coalition, Syal lost her fiancé and, although she was promoted to captain, suffered the loss of her entire squadron when the Corellians used the Centerpoint Station weapon on the Second Fleet. After these personal losses, she was attached as an aide to General Celchu, and accompanied him on a covert diplomatic mission to the Jedi Order. Following Celchu's negotiations, Syal and Celchu briefly flew in Rakehell Squadron as part of the Jedi plan to destroy Centerpoint Station. While Celchu returned to the Galactic Alliance Fleet during the battle, he ordered Syal to remain with the Jedi and her father, and she took orders from Wedge throughout the battle, which led her to shoot down at least one member of Rogue Squadron. She remained with Wedge after the battle was complete and Centerpoint Station was destroyed, on an extended assignment.

September 24, 2009 – Oppo RancisisEdit

Oppo Rancisis, an adept strategist and tactician, was a Thisspiasian male who abdicated the throne of his homeworld in favor of becoming a Jedi Master. Offered to the Jedi Order as an infant by his mother, the Blood Monarch of Thisspias, Rancisis was apprenticed to Master Yaddle, training to become a Jedi Knight almost two centuries before the Battle of Yavin. In 186 BBY, Rancisis' sister was killed by terrorists, and he was offered the throne; he declined, instead preferring to continue on the path of the Jedi.

After achieving the rank of Master and being given a place on the Jedi High Council, Rancisis served as one of the Jedi's top military advisors due to his tactical nous. He was also a member of and often led the Council of Reconciliation. Rancisis served the Jedi Council through the re-emergence of the Sith, the Separatist Crisis, and the Battle of Geonosis, and when the Clone Wars began, he became a Senior Jedi General. Along with Yoda, Rancisis spent much of the war on Coruscant, organizing and coordinating Republic forces through the galaxy, such as during the defense of Kamino and the Battle of Zaadja, conferring with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and serving on the Council of Reconciliation.

Near the close of the war, Rancisis learned of a Separatist operation on the planet Saleucami; Dark Acolyte Sora Bulq was overseeing the creation of a cloned Morgukai "Shadow Army," which Rancisis feared would prove a match for the Jedi. The Thisspiasian Jedi Master led a team of Jedi and three battalions of clone troopers to Saleucami, and besieged the planet for five months. Rancisis used his battle meditation to aid Republic forces during the conflict, to the point of exhaustion. Sora Bulq used this to his advantage, sending a group of Anzati assassins to slay Rancisis, but the Jedi Master was able to fend them off and defeated his attackers. However, the attack had in fact been a ruse orchestrated by Bulq, who used the distraction to enter Rancisis' chamber unnoticed and stab the Thisspiasian in the back, killing him.

September 25, 2009 – KolatillEdit

Kolatill was a planet located in the Kolatill system within the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories. A stopping point for ships plying their business on the Trition Trade Route, the planet was located several days' travel from the sector capital, Kal'Shebbol. Noted as one of the sector's major repulsorlift manufacturing centers, Kolatill was ruled by the Kolatill Council until Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne was appointed to administer the Kathol sector in 2 BBY. In 0 ABY, the planet was placed under martial law, and most of the repulsorlift industry was ordered to produce combat speeders for Moff Sarne's forces. In 8 ABY, after the successful liberation of Kal'Shebbol by New Republic forces, a popular uprising on Kolatill overthrew their Imperial governor, Tetrum, and reinstated the Kolatill Council. Following this act of defiance, the escort carrier Kathol Protector arrived in-system and deployed TIE bombers to attack the capital city of Domaz, leaving it ruined and aflame. Kolatill sent out a distress call, which was answered by the New Republic CR90 corvette FarStar. The vessel provided relief assistance to the planet, and engaged the Kathol Protector in battle after the Imperial vessel returned for a second strike on the world using pathogenic bombs. Between the combined efforts of the FarStar, its fighter squadron, and the Kolatill Defense Force, the planet was spared from further devastation.

September 26, 2009 – Corran HornEdit

Corran Horn was a Force-sensitive male Corellian pilot who served as a Corellian Security Force investigator, a Rogue Squadron ace and New Republic hero, and Jedi Master. Born to Nyche and Valin "Hal" Horn on Corellia, Horn lived his early life unaware that his grandfather was Nejaa Halcyon, a Jedi Master. He followed his father and adoptive grandfather into the Corellian Security Force, where he excelled. However, he came into conflict with his Imperial Intelligence liaison officer, Kirtan Loor, and eventually fled Corellia after the Battle of Endor in order to evade execution. Horn spent a year lying low on Garqi before saving several locals from the Empire and making the decision to join the New Republic.

A highly skilled pilot, Horn joined Rogue Squadron in 6 ABY and became a flight leader. He participated in the captures of Borleias and Coruscant, taking the shields of the latter down and being captured by the Empire in the process. He was incarcerated in the infamous Lusankya prison, where he resisted Ysanne Isard's brainwashing and became the first individual ever to directly escape the prison. On his return, he was hailed as a hero, but on learning that the New Republic would not allow the targeting of Isard for political reasons, he led Rogue Squadron in resigning and waging a guerrilla war against Isard's regime on Thyferra. During the course of that campaign, the Bacta War, Horn was married to Mirax Terrik, the love of his life and the daughter of his father's old rival, Booster Terrik. Horn rejoined the New Republic and continued his career in Rogue Squadron, helping defeat Zsinj and Thrawn and free the Lusankya prisoners.

When his wife was kidnapped in 11 ABY, Horn realized he had to tap his Jedi talents to save her, having learned of his family's secret past from Luke Skywalker's investigations several years earlier. He trained at Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum before rescuing Mirax, defeating the Invid pirate gang in the process. Horn balanced his careers as a pilot and Jedi until 19 ABY, when he resigned from the squadron with the rank of colonel after peace was achieved with the Imperial Remnant. Horn served as a Jedi instructor, training his two children, Valin and Jysella, before the Yuuzhan Vong War broke out. Horn served a vital role in the war, defeating Shedao Shai, the killer of Horn's close friend Elegos A'Kla, in a duel to save Ithor; the failure of the Yuuzhan Vong to live up to the terms of the duel shamed Horn and caused him to briefly take a leave of absence from the Jedi. He returned to full service after the fall of Coruscant, and was crucial to the resolution of the war, helping unlock the mystery of Zonama Sekot.

After the war, Horn was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master and became one of the leading Jedi on the Masters' Council. He argued for strong relations with the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, and during the Dark Nest Crisis in 36 ABY, he was temporarily put in charge of the Jedi Order. When events on Corellia erupted into a war in 40 ABY, Horn helped steer the Jedi through the crisis as a member of the Jedi Council, even when the Jedi were declared enemies of the state, and saw the Jedi to victory over Darth Caedus, Dark Lord of the Sith.

September 27, 2009 – Murk LundiEdit

Murk Lundi was a male Quermian from the planet of Ploo II, and an expert on the history of the Sith. Working as a teacher on Coruscant, he gave lectures on the mysterious darksiders, and was considered to be one of Coruscant's most knowledgeable beings on the Sith. In 39 BBY, Lundi, having researched the dark side for years, set out to recover a holocron on Kodai. He was tailed by the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, yet despite this, he almost managed to get the holocron. Only the interference of his power-hungry student Norval prevented him from gaining the artifact. However, Lundi was driven insane by the holocron's power and was arrested by the Jedi and placed in Republic custody.

In 29 BBY, Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker freed him so that he might help them locate the holocron. Although the professor continually antagonized the two Jedi, he did help them look for it. However, the holocron was no longer on Kodai. Norval had already recovered it, and so they went after him. Even though they gained the object and Norval was killed, betrayed by an ally of his, Lundi died. However, as he was dying, he expressed remorse for attempting to recover the Sith holocron. Lundi was also the author of The Lundi Series, which would be utilized by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker decades later to learn about the Sith.

September 28, 2009 – BuickEdit

The Buick was a unique vehicle called a car or, more specifically, a convertible, that was capable of ground, atmospheric, and space combat. It was a unique design in the galaxy, coming from outside known space. It included an unseen engine system powerful enough to propel it through space at a quick rate and a very strong hull. The Buick also contained hidden weaponry consisting of laser cannons and cluster missile launchers that were effective against a number of different enemies, including starfighters, tanks, infantry, space- and land-based structures, and even capital ships.

The Buick's interior included a detailed damage indicator and map, as well as a steering wheel and several other dials and readouts. The convertible could perform in planetside combat as a landspeeder. Later, around 0 ABY, the vessel functioned at higher altitudes as an airspeeder. Around the same time period it took on space combat as well. The inclusion of a hyperdrive further added to the Buick's strengths and allowed the ship to operate on its own against enemy targets.

At some point, the car was owned by an individual named Rudy; during this time it was simply known as Rudy's Car. By 32 BBY, the Buick was in the possession of the Royal Naboo Security Forces, who utilized it in the events following the Invasion of Naboo and the eventual recapture of Naboo. The ship was old enough to be considered a relic by 0 ABY, when the Alliance to Restore the Republic started using the craft in their war against the Galactic Empire, and continued to use it when the New Republic was formed, into as late as 10 ABY.

September 29, 2009 – MiktissEdit

Miktiss was a male Saurton warrior from the planet Essowyn in the Trax sector. A loyal supporter of the Des'mar, a faction of Saurtons who supported the mining companies that dominated their homeworld, Miktiss participated in military operations against the Quenno, a group opposed to the presence of the corporations. However, since his actions were illegal, he was eventually brought before the Saurton Council of Elders to answer for his crimes. Despite being employed by members of the Council who were Des'mar supporters themselves, he was sentenced to death since the proof of his guilt was absolute. However, his loyalty to the Des'mar cause was so strong that he refused to implicate members of the Council in his actions. As a reward for his sacrifice, he was smuggled off-planet prior to his execution on the proviso that he never returned to Essowyn.

Striking out toward the Kathol sector, Miktiss turned to piracy and formed a group known as the Des'maric Pirates around 7 ABY. Stealing several Skipray Blastboats and an Action IV transport to use as the basis of his pirate fleet, he entered into an arrangement with a local crime lord, Crev Bombaasa, to supply freighter travel routes in exchange for a share of the pirates' take. Miktiss used his small fleet to capture several vessels and intimidate primitive backwaters throughout the Kathol sector.

September 30, 2009 – Antidar WilliamsEdit

Antidar Williams was a Human male who piloted Senatorial shuttles in the service of the Galactic Republic. Originally hailing from Barkhesh, Williams flew agricultural airspeeders in his youth, before departing his homeworld in the hope of finding adventure. He found employment with the Republic, but soon afterward he joined Senator Ranulph Tarkin's unsanctioned paramilitary force, which journeyed to the Qotile system to engage Iaco Stark's Stark Commercial Combine in the Stark Hyperspace War.

Williams served faithfully in the various battles of Troiken, and he was later recruited to join the Judicial Forces. Over the years, he reached the rank of lieutenant, and became the pilot of the Consular-class space cruiser Acceptance. The Acceptance and Williams himself would in time participate in the Battle of Galidraan, and the Yinchorri Uprising, the latter of which resulted in the cruiser's destruction. Afterward, Williams was relegated to piloting shuttles, but one fellow pilot he had befriended at Galidraan, Maoi Madakor, requested that he serve as her co-pilot for a mission to deliver the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to the blockaded world of Naboo. The mission would cost the two their lives, however, as their ship, the Radiant VII, was destroyed by the Trade Federation with them on board.

October 1, 2009 – BL-17Edit

BL-17 was a BL-series Battle Legionnaire, created to serve the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. One of the few Battle Legionnaires to survive the Mission to Norval II, which saw the Galactic Republic defeat the Confederate-allied Mandalorian Protectors, BL-17 later came into the possession of the bounty hunter Boba Fett sometime after the Declaration of a New Order in 19 BBY.

When Fett was approached by Sise Fromm to hunt the speeder racing team of Thall Joben, Jord Dusat, and Kea Moll on Boonta, the bounty hunter decided to use BL-17 to infiltrate the group by befriending their protocol droid, C-3PO. BL-17 succeeded in leading the group into a trap, but before Fett could attack, his true intentions were revealed in a chance encounter with a former acquaintance, the droid Proto One. In the ensuing skirmish, BL-17 was knocked into a pile of scrap machinery, causing it to fall and crush him.

October 2, 2009 – Demetrius ZaarinEdit

Demetrius Zaarin was an Imperial admiral who sought to install himself as Emperor of the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War. Originally a Grand Admiral, Zaarin was the Imperial Navy's head of starfighter research and development. At his facility "Research," he developed such starfighters as the TIE Advanced and the TIE Defender. He also secured new technology for the Empire from third parties, such as the Habeen. In addition to his design skills, he was a talented tactician. At some point in his career, however, he grew dissatisfied with Emperor Palpatine's rule, and began making preparations to take over the Galactic Empire.

Allying himself with disenchanted Emperor's Hand Arden Lyn, Zaarin eventually decided to move against Palpatine in the wake of crime lord Prince Xizor's death in 3 ABY. His loyal forces captured Palpatine over Imperial Center, but they were thwarted by reinforcements from Lord Darth Vader and Vice Admiral Thrawn. Left with little alternative but to flee, Zaarin began harassing Palpatine's TIE Advanced production facilities in the Omar system, and then attempted to cripple Imperial TIE Defender factories. He was eventually outwitted by Thrawn at To-phalion Base, and he perished in the Unknown Regions when the corvette he was aboard, the Vorknkx, exploded due to a malfunction.

October 3, 2009 – Cassus FettEdit

Cassus Fett was a Mandalorian Field Marshal who lived during the time of the Mandalorian Wars. Fett was an aide-de-camp to Mandalore the Ultimate, leader of the Mandalorians, and he was highly influential in areas throughout Mandalorian society. Fett spearheaded the promotion of the Neo-Crusader movement, a sect of Mandalorian society with a more regimented structure and standardized armor than the hitherto dominant Mandalorian Crusaders. By exerting control over the clans and providing a means of converting conquered cultures into Neo-Crusaders, Fett turned the Mandalorians into a war machine intent on galactic conquest.

On the Outer Rim, Fett engaged the forces of the Galactic Republic in a series of battles, including a massacre of the Cathar people. He engineered a number of minor engagements at the edge of Republic space to determine the strength of the Republic, before launching into a full scale invasion of Republic space along three fronts in 3,963 BBY. Fett was present at the preliminary Battle of Vanquo, led the siege of Taris and eventual conquest of that world, planned an invasion of the planet Alderaan, and killed the captain of a Republic flagship at the Battle of Jaga's Cluster. After becoming the most wanted man in the galaxy, Fett was presumed dead by the time of the Jedi Civil War.

October 4, 2009 – Rescue of Bastila ShanEdit

Bastila Shan was rescued as part of a compulsory mission during the Jedi Civil War that was thrust upon Revan and Carth Onasi due to the attack on the Republic cruiser Endar Spire. Shan was a Jedi in command of the Endar Spire with Onasi, a former pilot, acting as an advisor. Revan—at the time of the attack was unaware of his history as former Dark Lord of the Sith—was also stationed on the vessel as a common soldier. During the attack, Shan's lifepod vanished somewhere on the surface of Taris. After crashing in the Tarisian Upper City themselves—and knowing the importance of Shan to the Republic war effort—Revan and Onasi sought to find her. Eventually, the pair traveled into the Lower City, where they met the young Twi'lek Mission Vao, and her partner, the Wookiee Zaalbar. Through this encounter, Revan and Onasi were directed to the Hidden Bek Base and spoke with the leader of the Hidden Beks swoop gang, Gadon Thek. Thek informed the pair that Shan had been captured by the Black Vulkars, a rival swoop gang led by Brejik, and was being held as prisoner. He added that the Human gang leader, once Thek's protegé, planned to offer Shan as the prize for the Tarisian Season Opener, the first major swoop race of the season.

Gadon Thek offered Revan the chance to race in the Season Opener—thereby winning Shan's freedom—if he retrieved a prototype accelerator that the Vulkars had stolen. Accepting the deal, Revan and Onasi proceeded into the Undercity to enter the Black Vulkar Base. Thek suggested that Vao be of service due to her advanced knowledge of the Undercity sewers. She agreed to assist Revan if Zaalbar, who had been recently captured, could be rescued from Gamorrean slavers. Revan agreed to the barter, and the trio proceeded into the sewers. After freeing Zaalbar, Vao helped Revan get into the Black Vulkar base, where the party found the prototype accelerator, but a firefight ensued to acquire it. Successful, the party returned the engine to Gadon Thek and Revan was allowed to compete in the Season Opener. After Revan won the race, Brejik called foul and claimed that the prize would not be given over to the winner. Brejik and his comrades then initiated a brawl, but were defeated by Revan and Shan.

Due to his newly acquired fame, Revan was approached by Canderous Ordo about fleeing Taris. If Revan could steal the blockade codes from the Sith Military Base, then Ordo would provide a ship to leave the planet. Revan agreed, but needed assistance in breaching the security system of the base. Ordo told Revan to acquire T3-M4 from Janice Nall at his request and, with the droid's help, Revan broke into the base and stole the launch codes after a duel with the Force-sensitive Sith Governor. With the codes in hand, Revan and Ordo proceeded to the estate of crime lord Davik Kang to steal his flagship, the Ebon Hawk. Revan and his team commandeered the ship and, having successfully rescued Bastila Shan, fled the planet surface as the destruction of Taris commenced.

October 5, 2009 – Orley VanicusEdit

Admiral Orley Vanicus was considered a hero of the Great Sith War. A member of the Republic Navy and captain of the command ship Reliance over four thousand years before the Battle of Yavin, he was a simple man who didn't dabble in politics or bureaucracy and stuck with what he specialized at: commanding starships. During the Krath conflict, he commanded a mission to the Empress Teta system alongside Jedi Knights Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider, with the intention of protecting Koros Major from the Krath faction. Vanicus and his men were too late, though, and the mission was a failure; they were tricked by the dark side illusions of Sith sorceress Aleema Keto, and suicide Krath Chaos fighters pummeled the Reliance and other ships, until Vanicus ordered a retreat.

Later, during the Great Sith War, he was dispatched to the shipyards at Foerost with the intention of intercepting a pirate group that had been raiding the Republic for weeks. His forces were too late, arriving to find that the majority of the ships under construction at the facility had been stolen and the defensive fleet stationed there routed. He and his staff salvaged what they could, and through a security recording in one of the shipyard's control centers, Vanicus discovered that the pirates' leader was Ulic Qel-Droma, who had left the Republic and joined the Sith. Acting on planted intelligence which Qel-Droma hoped would lure the Republic away from their capital of Coruscant, Vanicus sent the majority of the Republic Navy to Kemplex IX, believing that Qel-Droma's forces were gathered there. Qel-Droma and his Mandalorian allies subsequently launched an attack on the defenseless Coruscant, with Qel-Droma's fellow Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun slaying the Supreme Chancellor and Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Later in the war, Vanicus led a joint Republic/Onderonian force in battle against Mandalore the Indomitable, driving them back to the wild jungle moon of Dxun, where most of the Mandalorians were killed by native predators. After the Sith War, Vanicus was considered something of a war hero, and continued to serve the Republic Navy for a time.

October 6, 2009 – Sebastian ShawEdit

Sebastian Shaw (May 29, 1905–December 23, 1994) was an English stage, film, television and radio actor, as well as a director, novelist, playwright and poet. Over the course of his 65-year career, Shaw appeared in more than 40 film and television productions, but was mostly known for his dozens of stage performances. A self-described "rotten actor" as a youth, Sebastian claimed to mature as a performer after returning from service in the Royal Air Force during World War II. Shaw was particularly known for his performances in William Shakespeare productions, which were considered daring and ahead of his time. He also wrote a novel, The Christening, in 1975.

One of Shaw's more famous roles is his brief but important performance in Return of the Jedi, in which he played Anakin Skywalker during the moment aboard Death Star II when Luke Skywalker unmasks his dying father. Due to the extreme secrecy demanded by Star Wars creator George Lucas, Shaw knew no details of his part until he was guaranteed to play the role, and was forbidden from discussing it with anyone, even his family and friends, until after the theatrical release. Sebastian Shaw died of natural causes at age 89 in 1994. Ten years later, his image as a Force ghost during the final scene of Return of the Jedi was replaced with that of prequel actor Hayden Christensen for the movie's 2004 DVD re-release.

October 7, 2009 – Seha DorvaldEdit

Seha Dorvald was a Jedi candidate during the Second Galactic Civil War. Born on Coruscant around 22 ABY, most of Dorvald's family was killed following the Yuuzhan Vong's invasion of the galactic capital, and she was orphaned after the subsequent death of her father during the occupation. Dorvald remained in Coruscant's undercity for the following two years of the war, emerging some time after the invaders had been driven off the capital in 29 ABY. With the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Dorvald met Jacen Solo, a powerful Jedi and hero of the conflict, during one of his trips into the undercity. Solo found Dorvald to be strong in the Force, and introduced her into the New Jedi Order. Despite the fact that Dorvald was traditionally too old to begin Jedi training, Solo's sponsorship ensured that she was accepted in to the Order.

As a form of repayment for Solo's aid, Dorvald would complete tasks at her sponsor's orders. In 40 ABY, Dorvald helped smuggle Solo's apprentice Ben Skywalker out of the Jedi Temple on an unsanctioned mission for her sponsor. Following the revelation that Solo was a Sith Lord, however, and having learned of his his invasion of the academies on Ossus and Coruscant, Dorvald came forward to the Jedi Masters and confessed to helping Solo. In recompense, Dorvald volunteered to aid Kyle Katarn, Valin Horn, and Thann Mithric in their mission either to place a homing device on the Solo, capture him, or kill him. The result of the mission was almost a failure, with the death of Mithric and the near-fatal wounding of Katarn, but Dorvald was able to complete the mission by rescuing Katarn and placing the homing device on Caedus before her escape. Dorvald survived the Second Galactic Civil War and was later apprenticed to Chandrilan Jedi Master Octa Ramis.

In 43.5 ABY, Dorvald and her master responded to the threat of Jedi Knight Valin Horn, who had been stricken with an enigmatic illness which induced paranoid delusions. Horn went on a rampage across Coruscant; Dorvald and Ramis attempted to capture and detain the rogue Knight. Although their efforts were unsuccessful in themselves, Dorvald and her master were able to delay Horn's escape, who was later captured by Grand Master Luke Skywalker.

October 8, 2009 – Darth MaladiEdit

Darth Maladi was a Devaronian female who served as a Sith Lady in Darth Krayt's Sith Order during Krayt's reign as Emperor. She was the head of Sith Intelligence and Assassination, adept in the ways of inquisition and torture, and a specialist in the art of mental manipulation. A skilled scientist, she tirelessly experimented with ways to pervert science to serve the Sith cause, and also manufactured and dealt the narcotic ixetal cilona. She was responsible for the sabotage of the government-sponsored project to terraform Ossus. Maladi, along with High Moff Morlish Veed, the leader of the Council of Moffs, and his partner, Nyna Calixte, the Director of Imperial Intelligence, started the Sith-Imperial War in 127 ABY, which saw the near-destruction of the Galactic Alliance, the leading government at the time, and the New Jedi Order—the major opponents of the Sith.

In 137 ABY, Krayt ordered Maladi to find and dispose of the former Emperor, Roan Fel, and to capture Cade Skywalker, the last remaining member of the Skywalker family. Though she failed with the former task, the Sith were able to capture Skywalker, whom Maladi tortured to find his limits. However, Skywalker escaped, and Maladi was forced to work with Rav, a Feeorin pirate for whom Skywalker had once worked, to find the fugitive. When Skywalker was discovered to be in the Deep Core on the planet Had Abbadon, Maladi traveled with Lord Krayt and other members of the One Sith to parlay with his supposed captor, an ancient Sith spirit that resided in the body of an Old Republic Jedi Master, Celeste Morne. The meeting turned out to be a trap planned by Skywalker, Morne, and several Imperial Knights, and battle ensued immediately. Maladi first engaged the Twi'lek Jedi Shado Vao in a lightsaber duel, but was later wounded grievously when Morne unleashed a massive torrent of Force lightning in an attempt to kill Darth Krayt. The Sith were defeated, and Maladi was collected by Darth Wyyrlok along with her brethren, and taken to Coruscant to recover from her injuries.

October 9, 2009 – Xenon NnakstaEdit

Lieutenant Commander Xenon Nnaksta, nicknamed Xe, was a Vodran scout, a graduate of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School, and a member of both the Rebel Alliance and New Republic. Nnaksta was born on the planet Vodran during the last days of the Republic; his parents perished during the Thruncan Insurrection—orphaned, he lived as a street urchin for a time before eventually finding his way to the planet Delassin VI, where he worked as a longshoreman. He proved to be skilled at his job, and was later personally selected by industry magnate Meysen Kayson to work as a laborer in a retail store. Within two years, he had been promoted to executive of the entire chain and had become a close friend of Kayson. After Kayson went in hiding from the Empire, Nnaksta took control of the Greel Wood Logging Corporation, though before long he appointed a number of regents while he attended the Galactic Outdoor Survival School for several years.

Nnaksta graduated from GOSS in 12 BBY as part of an highly successful class, before returning to the Greel Wood Logging Corporation. However, after helping close friend and former GOSS classmate Adazian Liebke escape from Imperial authorities, he was drafted into the Rebel Alliance, serving with the Eclipse Team branch of Alliance Special Forces. He continued to serve with the New Republic after the Battle of Endor, and was one of the Republic officers targeted for assassination by the traitorous Ma'w'shiye, a former Rebel agent who had served with Nnaksta at GOSS. After evading Ma'w'shiye's efforts, he became part of a task force charged with hunting the traitor down.

October 10, 2009 – First Battle of Borleias (Galactic Civil War)Edit

The First Battle of Borleias was an unsuccessful attempt by the New Republic to capture an Imperial base on Borleias, a planet in the Pyria system, during the Galactic Civil War in 6.5 ABY. Due to the planet's close proximity to the Core Worlds, the New Republic hoped to capture the base and use it to launch an eventual attack against Coruscant, the galactic capital.

Bothan General Laryn Kre'fey, based on intelligence by the Bothan Spynet, developed a plan to bombard the base's deflector shield from space, then use General Horton Salm's Defender Wing to bomb the remaining ground forces while Commander Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron protected the bombers. Once the attack was complete, assault transports would shuttle commandos to the planet's surface to liberate the base.

Unbeknownst to the New Republic, however, Imperial General Evir Derricote had secret defense measures installed at the base, including an extra deflector shield generator, heavy ion cannons and additional TIE interceptor squadrons. When Kre'fey's forces launched their assault, Derricote lured the New Republic forces into a false sense of security by deliberately dropping the shields to simulate their failure from bombardment. As the New Republic forces descended into the atmosphere, he then unleashed his trap, re-establishing the shields at twice their original power and launching a counterstrike that resulted in heavy New Republic losses. Kre'fey was killed and the New Republic fleet was forced to retreat after only ten minutes in battle.

October 11, 2009 – Darth MillennialEdit

Darth Millennial was a three-eyed mutant Sith Lord and Shadow Hand, heir to the lineage of Darth Bane, who lived almost a thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. Apprenticed to Darth Cognus, Millennial was powerful in the Force and had the ability to see the future. However, he and his Master disagreed on many aspects about the Sith, and Millennial became disillusioned with the Rule of Two, which he felt was far too restrictive, and saw far more sense in Lord Kaan's Rule by the Strong.

Eventually, he left his enraged Master and founded the Dark Force religion—which would later become the Prophets of the Dark Side—on the planet Dromund Kaas. Proclaiming himself as a prophet chosen by the will of the Force, he attracted many Force-users from across the galaxy to his religion before passing away.

October 12, 2009 – Gara PetothelEdit

Gara Petothel, also known as Lara Notsil and Kirney Slane, was an Imperial Intelligence spy who defected to the New Republic during a covert mission as a pilot with Wraith Squadron. A Human female from Coruscant, Petothel served as an Imperial Intelligence agent for nearly 15 years, during which time she assumed several different names and identities. Upon the supposed death of Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard in 7.5 ABY, Petothel switched her allegiance to Zsinj, a warlord who went rogue in an attempt to gain control over fragments of the Galactic Empire. While undercover aboard a New Republic frigate, she provided Admiral Apwar Trigit with information that led to the destruction of Talon Squadron, a New Republic starfighter squadron. She then worked as an intelligence analyst for Trigit aboard Implacable, his Imperial-class Star Destroyer. During the Battle of Ession, Petothel secretly provided information to the New Republic that led to Trigit's death after the admiral decided to sacrifice his ship and over 35,000 crew members rather than surrender.

To avoid arrest following the battle, she posed as an innocent farmgirl from Aldivy named Lara Notsil. She intended to return to service under Warlord Zsinj, but was first approached by Wraith Squadron pilots Garik "Face" Loran and Ton Phanan, who promised her a spot in one of Commander Wedge Antilles' squadrons if she helped them expose the black market ring of New Republic Colonel Atton Repness. After exposing Repness, Notsil joined the ranks of Wraith Squadron, which she planned to betray to Zsinj. However, after flying with the squadron and bonding with the fellow pilots, Notsil realized much of her Imperial Intelligence teachings about the treachery of the New Republic were lies and propaganda. She found that she wanted to remain with the squadron and the New Republic.

She attempted to feed false information to Zsinj and keep her true identity a secret from the Wraiths; she even developed a romantic relationship with Myn Donos, the sole survivor from Talon Squadron. However, attempts by Zsinj to reconnect with Petothel sparked a severe identity crisis stemming from her many years of adopting and discarding multiple names and personalities. Her past was eventually discovered and exposed by Loran, which forced her to flee from Wraith Squadron. Along with her R2 droid, Tonin, Petothel returned to service with Zsinj and was given a post on Iron Fist, his Executor-class flagship. She developed a plan to destroy Iron Fist and Zsinj by having Tonin capture and reprogram hundreds of MSE-6 mouse droids to sabotage the ship. The New Republic triumphed over the Iron Fist during the Battle of Selaggis thanks to her assistance, and the loss set into motion Zsinj's eventual defeat at the hands of General Han Solo. She faked her death during that battle and submitted a secret message to Myn Donos proposing to rekindle their relationship. The crucial role she played in Zsinj's demise remained unknown among the people of the galaxy.

October 13, 2009 – MakezhEdit

Makezh was a Human male from the planet Danoor in the Kathol Outback, an isolated sector of space in the Outer Rim Territories. Abducted by the Aing-Tii, a race of mysterious, Force-using aliens from the Kathol Rift, Makezh was brainwashed and implanted with the compulsion to retrieve a sacred artifact for them. The artifact, known as the Codex, was located within the Kathol Rift, on an alien construct that the Aing-Tii viewed as sacred ground, and were forbidden to set foot on it by their own religious beliefs. The procedures they used left Makezh mentally scarred and amnesic, but with the uncanny ability to accurately navigate the Rift by "listening" to the "voices" within it.

Returning to Danoor, Makezh plied his trade as a navigator of the Rift, catering to scientific parties. His navigational methods were instinctive, and they often made his passengers feel ill at ease, but he was considered to be the best Rift navigator on the planet. However, despite his skills, he struggled to earn a living, and was forced to steal food from a local market. Caught and jailed, government scientists began to take an interest in him and his abilities. He was eventually released, but the attention he had received, combined with a series of murders aimed at other navigators, frightened Makezh into believing that he was next in line to be killed. Around the same time, the New Republic vessel FarStar arrived at Danoor, looking to hire a navigator to guide them through the Rift. Representatives from the vessel were directed to Makezh, who initially believed that they were there to kill him. Convinced of their good intentions, the young navigator agreed to assist them as he saw it as an opportunity to leave the planet.

Makezh guided the FarStar safely though the Rift, although his methods alarmed and frightened his fellow crew. They realized that, while his flying style was erratic, it was reliable and conceded that they probably would not be able to navigate the Rift without him. As the ship penetrated deeper into the Rift, the compulsion to retrieve the Codex within him grew stronger as he neared the site of the alien construct. Discovering the construct, a landing party from the FarStar retrieved the Codex from it while attempting to free the ship from the station's malfunctioning automated docking system and brought the artifact aboard the ship. The mental programming instilled into the navigator to steal the artifact steadily grew, threatening to drive Makezh mad. When the ship reached the planet Demonsgate on the edge of the Rift, Makezh finally snapped, stole the artifact and an X-wing and went to the surface. There, the Aing-Tii waited to claim the item, and took Makezh with them against his will.

October 14, 2009 – Wraith SquadronEdit

Wraith Squadron, also known as the Wraiths, was a hybrid New Republic starfighter/commando unit developed in 7.5 ABY by Wedge Antilles. The original Wraith Squadron was largely made up of wash-outs and misfits, which gave the unit a number of psychologically and emotionally unstable pilots, albeit experienced members of the military with useful commando skills. The Wraiths were designed to fulfill the mission responsibilities of both a traditional starfighter squadron and a commando unit—a revolutionary concept in tactics for the New Republic, and one that its founder felt was an essential development for the New Republic.

The Wraiths first saw action against Admiral Apwar Trigit, which resulted in the destruction of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Implacable and the death of Trigit following a prolonged campaign that started with the Wraiths' seizure of the modified Corellian corvette Night Caller. Following Trigit's demise in the Battle of Ession, they continued to mount a number of often unorthodox covert operations against Warlord Zsinj. At one point, members of Wraith Squadron posed as a pirate group in an attempt to become employed by Zsinj. They were successful in that aim, which allowed them to assist in the destruction of the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Razor's Kiss. During this time, Garik Loran assumed command of Wraith Squadron from Wedge Antilles. Afterward, they returned to more normal fleet service in a lengthy campaign against Zsinj, culminating in the Battle of Selaggis, an engagement made possible by a double agent from Wraith Squadron who was stationed aboard Zsinj's flagship, the Iron Fist. At Selaggis, the Wraiths helped scatter Zsinj's forces, believing they had destroyed the Iron Fist and largely defeated Zsinj himself.

Their success was such that the unit was then moved from Starfighter Command to the New Republic Intelligence Service. Wraith Squadron continued to play a vital, if unique role in the military into the Yuuzhan Vong War, during which its members jammed yammosk war coordinators, flew covert missions behind enemy lines, crafted a psychological campaign by helping Jaina Solo impersonate a Yuuzhan Vong deity, and infiltrated Coruscant. After the New Republic government transitioned into the Galactic Alliance, the Wraiths served the reformed government through the Swarm War.

October 15, 2009 – Shandy FanasoEdit

Shandy Fanaso was a crewmember of the One Two Many during the Imperial era. Previously, he had been the captain of the Corellian Gambit, a light hauler. Once, on a trip to the Pangarees, Fanaso had chosen to stop over in the Triton Moons, specifically Triton Besh. There, while having to wait four days for a cargo-tithe receipt that would allow him to pass through the system and onto the Pangarees, he noted that the strict Domains of Triton laws prevented other spacers from enjoying intoxicants and stimulants while waiting for their own receipts.

Seeing a way to make a new living for himself, Fanaso converted his ship's hold into a cantina. Since his ship, while connected to Triton Besh Port via an umbilical, was not subject to the Rules of Law for the Domains of Triton, Fanaso was immune to the Tritonite laws. However, when he returned a second time, with a cruiser he had purchased with a loan, Shandy's Pleasure Palace, he found out that the Tritonites had changed their laws to prevent his actions. As a result, he was arrested by Imperial stormtroopers and forced to perform devotion-service for the Tritonites. The devotion-service involved him reciting the tracts of Gactimus 500 times, a feat which took him over four years to complete. Afterward, Fanaso became a crewmember on the bulk cruiser One Two Many.

October 16, 2009 – Samuel RaiderEdit

Samuel Raider was a captain in the Alliance Starfighter Corps during the Galactic Civil War. After he was captured by the Galactic Empire, Raider was sent to Stars' End prison, but was able to escape with the help of other captive Rebels. Fleeing to Kashyyyk, the escapees were later recovered by Rebel forces, though Raider's friend Lieutenant Cardacs was killed during the rescue. Raider joined Red Squadron aboard the MC80 Home One type Star Cruiser Independence, bringing news of a secret Imperial weapon with him. He initially blamed Cardacs' wingmate, Keyan Farlander, for his friend's death, but the two went on to become friends themselves. During his time with Red Squadron, Raider fought in several missions against the Empire as the Rebels attempted to learn more information about the Death Star, including the destruction of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Intrepid. However, his relationship with Farlander was strained when Farlander's instructions contributed to the deaths of two rookie pilots. When the Death Star moved to attack Yavin Base, Raider was one of several Independence pilots transferred to Yavin 4 for the upcoming battle, and was among the few to survive.

October 17, 2009 – Rolf TreidumEdit

Rolf Treidum was a Human male who served in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. During his service in the Deep Core, Treidum encountered a young officer named Kentor Sarne and became one of his staunchest supporters. As a result, when Sarne was appointed as Moff of the Kathol sector, Treidum transferred to the Kathol Sector Imperial Fleet and commanded the CR90 corvette Lialic II. Following the death of Emperor Palpatine during the Battle of Endor—a battle that also claimed the life of Treidum's only son—Treidum served Moff Sarne as he withdrew the Kathol sector from the Galactic Empire and set himself up as a warlord. In 8 ABY, following the New Republic's liberation of the planet Kal'Shebbol, Treidum and the Lialic II retreated with Sarne into the deep regions of the Kathol sector. However, when Sarne learned that the New Republic had dispatched the CR90 corvette FarStar to track him down, he ordered Treidum and the Lialic II to return to the Kathol Outback and delay the vessel as much as possible. Although Sarne wished the FarStar to locate him and call in a New Republic strike force, he wanted it to be on his own timetable, and at a place of his choosing. He planned to destroy the New Republic regional forces in one fell swoop, allowing him to reclaim the sector unopposed. As such, Treidum was ordered to only stall the vessel, and not destroy it. Renaming the Lialic II as the Lance of Endor, Treidum posed as a New Republic officer to stir up resentment for the New Republic and the FarStar by portraying the government as a totalitarian regime that wished to bring all planets under its dominion. Treidum fooled several governments with this ruse, including the Kathol Republic and the leaders of the planet Danoor. While Treidum did succeed in delaying the FarStar during its trip through the Kathol Outback, he was unable to enjoy his victory as he was killed during the Battle of Danoor, when the Lialic II was rammed by an Aing-Tii Sanhedrim ship.

October 18, 2009 – JedidiahEdit

Jedidiah was a male Velmoc who hailed from the planet Velmor. Early in his life, he was offered training to become a Jedi Knight, but he refused. As an advisor to the king of his homeworld during the reign of the Galactic Empire, Jedidiah predicted Imperial treachery in regards to the ruling of the planet, and he devised to stay with the ruling family instead of pursuing his dream of becoming a Jedi. Jedidiah's suspicions proved to be correct, and soon after, the Empire orchestrated a violent coup which resulted in the deaths of both the king and queen. Their oldest son, Denid, was also not a supporter of the Empire and had been marked for death before Jedidiah was able to rescue the prince and spirit him away from Velmor. The Imperial-sympathizing son of the king and queen, Anod, was kept alive, as the ruling Imperials knew that he would serve as a puppet ruler. In Jedidiah's escape from his now-hostile home planet, he and the prince crash-landed on a remote jungle world. Jedidiah pulled the prince from the burning wreckage of the ship, but when he returned to the crash site to retrieve supplies, he was hit by a large piece of debris. The accident resulted in severe brain damage, and Jedidiah was left with only the remembrance of his dream to become a Jedi.

Twenty years later, in 3 ABY, Jedidiah and Denid were discovered by Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker and Rebel leader Leia Organa, who were hoping to reinstate Denid as the monarch of the Velm system. The Rebels, Jedidiah, and Denid, returned to Velmor just in time to stop the coronation ceremony of Anod, since tradition required twenty years to pass to declare Denid legally dead and leave Anod free to take the throne. The ruling regent, Zelor, was not pleased to see Denid alive, and he made arrangements to have the prince and his companions killed through the use of the Imperial agent, Zeta Traal. After managing to isolate the three Humans during a Mrid Hunt, Zelor attempted to kill all the parties involved in the pursuit of the throne, even his allies, hoping to claim the throne for himself. However, Jedidiah, having detected his friends' distress in the Force, raced to their aid. Just before Traal was about to hit Skywalker with a blaster shot, Jedidiah dove in front of the blast, sacrificing himself for the young Jedi. Following Jedidiah's death, Skywalker placed the Velmoc in a rocket-powered coffin and fired him into space, honoring the would-be Jedi with a final tribute.

October 19, 2009 – Aron PeacebringerEdit

Aron Peacebringer was the man who brought peace to Shiva IV. Born on that world, which knew little other than constant warfare between the Calian Confederacy and the Twelve Tribes of T'Syriél, Peacebringer began his career in warfare at the age of twelve. His first kill was enough to convince him that, far from a noble pastime, war was a brutal affair that had to be ended. Aron, as he was known, pursued political success, eventually becoming the leader of the Calian Confederacy in 2 ABY. As the Warlord, he immediately sought dialogue with Kéral Longknife, the Demarch of the Twelve Tribes, and together the two signed the Concordat of Peace, bringing an end to the fighting on Shiva IV for the first time in its peoples' memory.

For that, he gained the surname Peacebringer and became blood brothers with Longknife. He and Longknife together ruled the peaceful world, enforcing the peace on those who attempted to revive the old ways. In 3 ABY, while investigating the destruction of the city of K'avor, Peacebringer stumbled across the Rebel leader Leia Organa, who had crashed on the planet and was being attacked by violent outcasts. Peacebringer rescued the woman and brought her to his palace, where he developed a strong infatuation with her. This strained his relationship with his beloved longtime wife, Alisande, but before Peacebringer could sort out his feelings, he and Organa were captured by the Imperial General Bentilais san Sk'ar, who was intent on conquering Shiva IV. Peacebringer and Organa fought, escaped, and killed Sk'ar with the aid of several Rebel friends who arrived to recover Organa. On seeing the woman who had captured his heart embrace Luke Skywalker, Peacebringer realized he could never have her love and, letting his attraction pass, returned to his wife and newly secure world a confident man.

October 20, 2009 – Kendal OzzelEdit

Kendal Ozzel was a Human male who originally served in the Republic Navy before becoming an admiral in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. A man of outdated tactical thinking, Ozzel was considered by many Imperial personnel to be inept, clumsy, and stupid. Ozzel came from a wealthy landowning family on Carida, and his last name would aid him in his quest to gain power. After his graduating from the Coruscant Naval Academy, he served as an instructor there before becoming captain of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Reprisal, the largest ship in the Shelsha sector, from which he oversaw the Teardrop massacre, a slaughter of innocent civilians accused of being Rebel sympathizers. The incident, followed by the murder of Imperial Security Bureau Major Drelfin by stormtrooper Daric LaRone, prompted a group of troops under LaRone to desert from the Imperial Military and flee the Star Destroyer. At the same time, Emperor's Hand Mara Jade arrived aboard the Reprisal as part of an investigation on the BloodScars pirate group. Ozzel believed that Jade was investigating the desertion of LaRone and his stormtroopers, and he conspired with Colonel Vak Somoril to kill her in order to prevent the incident from hurting his chances at becoming an admiral.

Ozzel took the Reprisal to the Gepparin system and ordered a bombardment of Gepparin, the home of the BloodScars' base, in which Jade was located. Although the attack failed to kill Jade, Ozzel did achieve his goal of rising through the ranks. Ironically, he did not become an admiral due to his loyalty or skills, but his apparent disloyalty. Jade did not trust Ozzel, so she advised Darth Vader to keep him under close supervision. Vader took Jade's advice, and Ozzel was promoted to admiral, succeeding Amise Griff as the commander of Vader's flagship, the Star Dreadnought Executor, at the forefront of Death Squadron. Ozzel would serve under Vader for approximately three years. He saw command of the Executor as a path to attaining more power, and he believed that he would be able to control the universe with the Super Star Destroyer.

Ozzel's searches for the Rebels' hidden headquarters were unproductive and only served to agitate Vader. His overconfidence in his abilities ultimately led to his death before the Battle of Hoth. In preparation for the battle, he had Death Squadron emerge from hyperspace too close to the planet Hoth, alerting the Rebels to the Imperials' presence. He had at last succeeded in finding the Rebels' headquarters, but he had made a fatal error that allowed the Rebellion the time needed to raise their planetary shield and evacuate Echo Base. Vader, having had enough of the admiral's failures, telekinetically executed Ozzel for the blunder shortly thereafter, promoting Captain Firmus Piett to fill the vacancy.

October 21, 2009 – RokkoEdit

Rokko was a Hutt crime lord who operated on the planet of Coruscant in 19 BBY. A member of the Besadii clan, he operated mainly in the Yaam Sector, trafficking in stolen merchandise. During this time, he had dealings with the Jedi fugitive Jax Pavan, initially hiring him to track down a Cerean named Toh Revo Chryyk for him. However, in the process of attempting to apprehend the Cerean, Chryyk committed suicide, which led to Rokko refusing to pay Pavan. When Pavan used the Force to defend himself against Rokko's bodyguards, the Hutt alerted sector police to the fugitive's presence, but Pavan was able to defeat the stormtroopers who were sent to arrest him.

Pavan later came to Rokko seeking help in locating the droid 10-4TO, which supposedly had information important to the group Whiplash, a secret resistance organization opposed to the Empire. Rokko agreed to help Pavan, believing that there would be a sizable reward for him. However, after a Sullustan named Den Dhur arrived at Rokko's home with a droid named I-5YQ, who knew Pavan, Rokko suspected Pavan's plea for help was a plot aimed at killing him. Though he had his bodyguards attack the group, he was forced to quickly order them to stand down after I-5 threatened to destroy his prize possessions, decelerated luminescent images, rare pictures of Nal Hutta. Pavan and the others were then able to flee from the Hutt.

October 22, 2009 – Unidentified Imperial scoutEdit

This Imperial scout was a member of the Galactic Empire Exploratory Division and the person who rediscovered the lost planet Seoul 5. A short time before the Galactic Civil War, the scout was on a mission for the Galactic Empire when his scout ship was hit by a meteor just as he was entering hyperspace. The collision threw his craft off course, and he arrived in a distant star system. After landing on one of the habitable planets, the scout began to explore an abandoned city on the world, recognizing the settlement as a Seoularian outpost. Following further exploration, the scout discovered an underground room with a cache of Seoularian crystals that had been used to power the city. Planning to return to the planet later to make a more thorough gathering of the artifacts in the city, the scout only took one of the crystals back to Imperial space with him. However, before he could accumulate enough resources to purchase a larger starship and return to the world, the Galactic Civil War began, and the scout was unable to make the trip back.

Following the Battle of Endor, the scout was present on a backwater world, where he had taken to gambling as a means of fulfilling his dream of returning to the discovered world. At the same time, Han Solo and his copilot Chewbacca were on the same world playing their own chances. The scout, seeing his chance to win a large ship from the smuggler, decided to wager his crystal and a holomap to the Seoul 5 system against Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon. The scout was confident that his hand would win him the ship, but Solo beat the scout and took the crystal from him. Although the scout claimed that Solo had cheated and pulled his blaster pistol on the smuggler, Solo avoided the attack and escaped from the gambling den with the holomap and the crystal.

October 23, 2009 – Yomin CarrEdit

Yomin Carr was a male Yuuzhan Vong who belonged to the warrior caste. Tasked as an advance agent, he was sent by the Praetorite Vong political faction to a new galaxy in preparation for the Yuuzhan Vong's imminent invasion. Masquerading as a Human male, Carr joined the research team at the ExGal-4 station on Belkadan in 25 ABY, where a group of scientists were searching for life outside the known galaxy. Keeping his origins and his goals a secret from those around him, he waited for a Yuuzhan Vong worldship that he knew would enter the galaxy at the point known as Vector Prime at a predetermined time. After it was spotted entering from the Intergalactic Void, Carr convinced the others on Belkadan that it was likely no more than an asteroid, per his orders from Prefect Da'Gara, a leader of the Praetorite Vong.

However, a team of three went to investigate the occurrence from a position on Helska 4 despite Carr's explanation. During their investigation, the ExGal-4 team was abducted by the Yuuzhan Vong; meanwhile, on Belkadan, Carr utilized dweebits—an insect-like Yuuzhan Vong lifeform—to convert the atmosphere to toxic gases. Carr also disabled communications, and while the gases killed those who ventured outside, Carr, revealing himself as an alien enemy, slaughtered the others. However, the Jedi Masters Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker arrived on the planet soon after, having received a distress signal. Following their landing on Belkadan, Jade entered into a fierce duel with Carr, eventually killing the Yuuzhan Vong warrior.

October 25, 2009 – GorgonEdit

The Gorgon was an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer and the flagship of Admiral Natasi Daala. Constructed by Kuat Drive Yards over Kuat in 1 ABY along with its sister ships Hydra, Basilisk, and Manticore, these Star Destroyers were part of the Maw fleet, stationed at Maw Installation, a secret asteroid research facility under Daala's command. With her second-in-command, Commander Kratas, Daala drilled the crew of the Gorgon until the vessel became, in Daala's opinion, one of the best performing Star Destroyers in the Imperial Fleet. Daala and the Gorgon were stationed at Maw Installation without any outside contact for a decade before a lone 500-X shuttle entered the Maw after departing from Kessel and was captured by the Gorgon's tractor beams. From the shuttle's crew, Daala learned that the Empire was near defeat following Emperor Palpatine's death in 4 ABY, and took it upon herself to launch a guerrilla war against the New Republic in 11 ABY.

Intent on destroying the New Republic, Daala engaged the opposition in battles such as the attack on Mon Calamari, where she was soundly defeated, and soon forced to retreat. Daala fled back to the Maw with the Gorgon, her lone remaining Star Destroyer, where she encountered New Republic forces. In an effort to prevent the New Republic from gaining top-secret Imperial data, the Gorgon destroyed the Installation by firing upon its unstable reactor core. The New Republic believed that Daala had crashed the ship into the Installation in a suicide effort, although the Gorgon had actually fired upon the facility with its turbolasers before jumping to hyperspace under cover of the explosion. The irreparably damaged Gorgon jumped to the Deep Core. There, Daala met up with the Imperial warlords, highly-ranked officials who had assumed control of what was left of the Empire. The Star Destroyer was later dismantled by the warlords for use in the construction of newer vessels.

October 26, 2009 – XamarEdit

Xamar was a male Khil trained as a Jedi by Krynda Draay following the Great Sith War, who later took part in the Padawan Massacre of Taris. After being discovered to be Force-sensitive as a youth, he was taken to the Draay Estate on Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi Consular, along with a group of other talented students. Together, this group's abilities were far greater than the sum of their parts, and their teacher, Krynda Draay, believed they were the group she had prophesied would vanquish the threat of the Sith. After completing their training, Xamar and the others were inducted into the secret, cabalistic Jedi Covenant, and formed the First WatchCircle, though he spent some time serving with both the Republic Fleet and the navy of his homeworld. Early in the Mandalorian Wars, the First WatchCircle took on a group of Padawans on Taris, with Xamar training a Nagai named Gharn.

However, the WatchCircle had a vision of one of the Padawans turning to the dark side and slaying them all, and they decided to kill each of their Padawans to prevent it from happening. Xamar was far more cautious about the massacre than his peers, but ultimately slew Gharn with his lightsaber. One of the Padawans, Zayne Carrick, escaped, and the WatchCircle made him a scapegoat for the murders, but was unable to apprehend him. After Covenant members Raana Tey and Feln had been killed inadvertently by Marn Hierogryph, the WatchCircle's leader, Lucien Draay, assigned Xamar to Republic Admiral Saul Karath's flagship, Courageous, to try to prevent Carrick from reaching Coruscant and exposing the Covenant to the Jedi Order proper. In Xamar's earlier vision, he had been killed by friendly fire while aboard a Republic ship; rather than waiting to meet his fate, he decided to take the initiative and make his own luck. He fled the Republic ship, captured Carrick personally, and presented him to the Jedi Council. Xamar confessed to killing the Padawans and supplied the Council with information on the Covenant. Enacting a plan formulated by Xamar and the Council, the Khil took Carrick to the Draay Estate, pretending to have captured him by force, though things went awry, and his plot was foiled by Krynda's retainer, Haazen. A force of Jedi Knights supplied by the Council arrived, and Xamar clashed blades with a number of Covenant members before fleeing outside. There, he was killed when an overhead Republic ship fired on his position.

October 27, 2009 – Slave Leia costumeEdit

The Slave Leia costume refers to the bikini-style outfit worn by Princess Leia Organa when she was captured by Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi. The costume was worn by actress Carrie Fisher and stuntwoman Tracy Eddon and was created by costumer designers Aggie Guerard Rodgers and Nilo Rodis-Jamero, inspired by the works of fantasy artist Frank Frazetta's Egyptian Queen. Star Wars creator George Lucas requested the costume in part based on Fisher's complaints about the lack of interesting costumes in A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.

The costume gained a huge fan following since the 1983 release of Return of the Jedi. Hundreds of female fans wear home-made and store-bought versions of the costume at science fiction conventions, many of whom post pictures of themselves on the popular fansite, Leia's Metal Bikini. Variations of the costume have been worn by characters in other Star Wars mediums, like Diva Shaliqua in The Phantom Menace, Zam Wesell in Star Wars: Jango Fett, and the Jedi Exile in Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The costume has also made several pop culture appearances outside of the Star Wars universe, such as when it was worn by Jennifer Aniston in the television sitcom Friends, by Sarah in the TV show Chuck, and Kristen Bell in Fanboys.

October 28, 2009 – Military Creation ActEdit

The Military Creation Act was a bill proposed in the Galactic Senate during the Separatist Crisis, in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Created in response to increasing secessions from the Galactic Republic, the Act authorized the creation of an Army of the Republic, to aid the local security forces, Judicials, and Jedi that made up the Republic's peacekeeping forces. The Act remained in limbo for two years until, on 13:3:6, a vote was at last set for it two months hence. Over the following weeks, vociferous debate and intense campaigning ensued as Senators and many others sought to either advocate or oppose the measure.

A number of major events marked the course of the Military Creation Act's debate, including the closing of Corellia's borders, protests from Chandrila to Coruscant, a plea from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to Separatist leader Count Dooku for peace, and an outpouring of arguments, demonstrations, and endorsements. Senator Onaconda Farr produced an allegorical play favoring the Act, while Senator Jollin Resbin secured the endorsement of podracer Boles Roor. Jedi Depa Billaba and Sar Labooda joined the opposition as the planet Carida, home to a prestigious military academy, supported the Act.

On the day of the vote, 5:16, leading member of the opposition Padmé Amidala was attacked by an assassin. In the wake of the attack, the vote was postponed and Amidala was sent offworld. Meanwhile, a clone army was discovered on Kamino, and after it was learned that the Separatists were raising an army of their own, Representative Jar Jar Binks called for emergency powers to be granted to Chancellor Palpatine so he could activate the clone army for Republic use. The motion was successful, and the new Grand Army of the Republic went on to fight in the Clone Wars.

October 29, 2009 – Totem MasterEdit

The Totem Master was a thief who lived on the forest moon of Endor. He traveled from village to village in a covered wagon, looking for targets that could be robbed easily. To carry out these robberies, the Totem Master used a group of creatures that had been enslaved to his will. He exerted control over the group through a magic ring which also allowed him to transform his slaves into wooden sculptures that took on the appearance of a totem pole. The Totem Master would then attempt to give the totem pole as a gift to the inhabitants of the villages that he had targeted. After the totem pole was brought back into the community and night had fallen, the Totem Master reanimated the Totem Slaves and had them rob the villagers for him.

Around 3 ABY, the Totem Master had set his sights on Bright Tree Village, and after investigating the settlement, he was able to convince the young Ewok Wicket W. Warrick to take his totem pole by appealing to the child's vanity. Once the totem pole had been brought back to the village, the Totem Master waited for the cover of night and then released his servants, who began to ransack the village. After loading the loot onto his wagon, the Totem Master departed, but not before being confronted by two young Ewoks, Latara and Teebo. However, the Totem Master simply used his ring to enslave the Ewoks, adding them to his totem pole. The Totem Master made his way to the next village, the Strutter's, but he was pursued by Wicket and Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, who had seen their friends taken captive and hoped to rescue them. The Totem Master was successful at giving the totem pole over to the Strutters, but when he returned at night to begin another robbery, he was attacked by the two Ewoks. The Totem Master ordered his servants, including Latara and Teebo, to capture the two troublemakers, and a chase ensued. However, in a final showdown, the Totem Master had his own ring turned against him, which caused him to be transformed into a totem pole. His magical ring slipped from his wooden fingers and was smashed on the ground, freeing his slaves.

October 30, 2009 – Lost TempleEdit

The Lost Temple was a temple built on the forest moon of Endor by an ancient race of creatures. Logray, the Ewok Shaman of Bright Tree Village, kept a scroll that contained a description of the structure, as well as a map to the temple. The large stone building was famous for containing a vast treasure room filled with jewels, but the ancient race that built the temple were apparently very protective of their riches, and so booby-trapped the building with a variety of snares, from trap doors to pits of lava. As a result of the danger that the temple contained, the scroll that described the ancient building had a cryptic addendum, "Ewoks, keep out, or be doomed!"

October 31, 2009 – Garris ShrikeEdit

Garris Shrike was the man who raised Han Solo. As a young man, he was a bounty hunter, but his quick temper kept him from collecting many live bounties. Instead, he turned to crime, collecting a group of orphans whom he used in confidence tricks and thefts, based aboard the decommissioned troopship Trader's Luck in orbit over Corellia. One of those orphans was Han Solo. Shrike rescued Solo from the streets, raised him, trained him, and beat him profusely when aggravated.

In 10 BBY, Solo fled the Trader's Luck after a showdown with Shrike in which Shrike's brother Larrad was injured and Shrike killed Dewlannamapia, the Wookiee who had served as Solo's mother figure. After Solo accumulated a large bounty due to his actions as a smuggler for the Hutts, Shrike set out to track him down. He caught up with Solo on Coruscant and captured him, but after a brawl with Solo, Shrike was shot to death by a competing bounty hunter.

November 1, 2009 – ElboEdit

Elbo was an underwater monarch who dwelt on the forest moon of Endor. The king lived in a Coral Castle at the bottom of a sea on Endor, but he delighted in coming to the surface to test the integrity of the creatures that lived there. His usual test would be given when a land creature had accidentally dropped one of its possessions into the water above his home. After asking the creature what was wrong, he would proceed to show the individual items that resembled the thing they had lost. These items would usually appear to be much more valuable than their initial item, but if the creature could resist the temptation of claiming the example items, Elbo would eventually present them with both their original item and the items he had shown them as a reward for their honesty.

Eventually, Elbo came into contact with the Ewok Princess, Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, who had accidentally dropped her ankle bracelet into the water. Elbo proceeded to perform his usual test, which Kneesaa eventually passed, claiming two new golden bracelets for her trouble. After recounting the story to her friends, Latara decided to try the test out for herself in order to receive a new flute. However, as she was greedier than Kneesaa, she ended up failing the test, and Elbo brought her back to his Coral Castle as punishment. After discovering Latara's fate, her friends set out to rescue her from Elbo's clutches. After arriving at the Coral Castle, they convinced Elbo to give Latara one last chance to pass his test. Elbo devised a new test for the young Ewok, which Latara eventually passed. Now satisfied, Elbo let the Ewoks leave his kingdom and return to the surface.

November 2, 2009 – Nas ChokaEdit

Nas Choka was a distinguished Yuuzhan Vong warrior who rose through the ranks of his caste to become the final warmaster of his species. Known more as a tactician and strategist than a martial warrior, Choka nevertheless actively participated in the Jamaane coup of 27 BBY, which saw the ambitious Shimrra of Domain Jamaane become Supreme Overlord of the Yuuzhan Vong. Having pledged his support to the winning faction, Commander Choka was escalated to the position of Supreme Commander of the flagship of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, as the armada traveled to the galaxy which Shimrra vowed was a promised reward for millennia spent in the Intergalactic Void. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally prosecuted their invasion in 25 ABY, Choka was still with the main body of the fleet. The invaders witnessed several setbacks until Choka took command of the vanguard and managed, by manipulating an alliance with the Hutts, to mount a major offensive against the New Republic's vital Fondor Shipyards. The battle went awry, however, when Choka lost half his attack force to the destructive capabilities of Centerpoint Station, an ancient construct in the nearby Corellian system. The vengeful supreme commander descended with his warfleet upon the Hutts, who had betrayed the Yuuzhan Vong at Fondor, and over the next two years laid waste to Hutt Space, conquering the entire territory.

The lengthy campaign against the Hutts reaffirmed Choka's reputation, and thus when his superior, Warmaster Tsavong Lah, met his death at the Battle of Ebaq 9, the supreme commander was escalated to the rank of warmaster in Lah's stead. Proving to be a very different leader of the warriors than his predecessor had been, Choka made swift progress against the reorganized New Republic with new tactics and agendas. The vendetta against the Jedi was called off, and several threats against the Yuuzhan Vong, such as the Imperial Remnant and the Yevetha species, were attacked or neutralized. A strike against the enemy's communications network also bore some success, but Supreme Overlord Shimrra desired a rapid end to the war. Forced, against his better judgment, to carry out a final, decisive strike against the Galactic Alliance's capital of Dac, Choka departed Yuuzhan'tar—formerly Coruscant—with one of the war's largest armadas, tasked with finishing off the tenacious enemy. The warmaster soon returned, however, when news reached him that a living world had emerged in the Coruscant system, and that the enemy was planning to reclaim their lost capital. In the last battle of the war, Choka conducted the defense of Yuuzhan'tar, all the while threatened by the presence of the living planet Zonama Sekot. The battle came to an end when Choka was halted in his efforts by the news of the death of Supreme Overlord Shimrra. The warmaster chose not to join many of his fellow warriors in ritual suicide, and acted as the spokesperson of the Yuuzhan Vong during the Sekot Accords which ended the war.

November 3, 2009 – First Battle of RuusanEdit

The First Battle of Ruusan occurred in 1,002 BBY as one of the final battles of the New Sith Wars and the first engagement of the last campaign of the war. The battle commenced in orbit over the planet Ruusan, which the Galactic Republic used as a base to launch raids on the Sith-occupied planet Kashyyyk. When the Sith dropped out of hyperspace with a much smaller fleet of warships than that of the Republic, the latter was caught unawares by the former, and the Sith attack began.

Kaan, Dark Lord of the Sith and de facto leader of the Brotherhood of Darkness, commanded the battle from his flagship, Nightfall, using the ancient art of Sith battle meditation. The initial sortie was devastating, delivering heavy casualties to the Republic's ranks. Tides turned, however, when a female Cerean Jedi Master, who was supporting the Republic fleet, employed her own battle meditation; this time it was the Sith who were confounded. When victory seemed to be sure for the Republic, the Sith Lord Kopecz infiltrated the capital ship where the Jedi Master was stationed. He killed her two Padawans, and then the Master herself. The resulting loss of the Jedi advantage wrenched any chance of victory from the Republic's grasp, and their remaining forces were then annihilated by the Sith fleet.

November 4, 2009 – Baljos ArnjakEdit

Baljos Arnjak was a member of Wraith Squadron during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Skilled in biology, he was stationed at the Borleias garrison after the New Republic seized the planet following the fall of Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong. He then participated in the defense of Borleias against Yuuzhan Vong efforts to recapture the world but was later assigned to accompany an intelligence-gathering mission to Coruscant, along with several Jedi.

While on Coruscant, Arnjak made a number of scientific studies of the Vongforming done to the world and also made contact with Coruscanti survivors. When the New Republic team prepared to leave the world, Arnjak adamantly refused to leave, saying that his role in the war was to continue to study Coruscant and organize resistance efforts among the survivors in preparation for an eventual New Republic reclamation of the planet. Years later, when the newly re-organized Galactic Federation of Free Alliances came to retake the world, Arnjak was there to meet their troops with groups of partisans and resistance fighters.

November 5, 2009 – Nelani DinnEdit

Nelani Dinn was a female Human Jedi Knight during the time of the Second Galactic Civil War. At some point during her early life, Dinn was taken for Jedi training and was taught for a time by Jacen Solo, eventually graduating to become a Jedi Knight. In 40 ABY, Dinn was stationed on Lorrd when she met up with two other Jedi—Jacen Solo, her former teacher, and his apprentice, Ben Skywalker. Solo and Skywalker were there to investigate an unusual artifact found on Toryaz Station, and after some mysterious incidents in Lorrd City, the three soon found the person who had planted the artifact, a woman named Brisha Syo. Syo took them to her home, a mining facility near Bimmiel, and revealed her true identity: Lumiya, Dark Lady of the Sith, who had been in parts unknown for many years. Dinn was separated from the group, though, and encountered the ghost of a Sith Lord named Darth Vectivus. When Vectivus could not goad Dinn into striking him down, he sent Dinn up to a higher floor, right as Lumiya attempted to turn Solo to the dark side. Dinn attempted to intervene, engaging Lumiya in a duel. The duel concluded with no clear victor, and Dinn then attempted to arrest Lumiya. However, Solo, now under Lumiya's sway, suddenly began to chase the young Knight through the mining facility, intent on killing her. Solo was eventually able to catch Dinn, and he ended her life with a thrust of his lightsaber.

November 6, 2009 – MatukaiEdit

The Matukai were an organization of Force adepts who used the physical body to channel the Force. They were established in the days of the Galactic Republic, years before the Old Sith Wars, and records compiled by the Galactic Alliance indicated that the Matukai were founded by a Human female from Karvoss II who discovered her sensitivity to the Force while practicing a meditative form of martial arts. After she developed her own method of studying the Force, she began to expand the tradition, teaching others what she had learned.

Initially, the Matukai were unchecked in growth by the Jedi Council and developed into a nomadic order of about fifty to sixty members. Though the Council eventually attempted to integrate the Matukai into the Jedi Order in 580 BBY, they were unsuccessful in doing so, as the Matukai were uninterested in the ways of the Jedi. The Matukai experienced persecution by the Empire during the Great Jedi Purge. They were one of the first other organizations besides the Jedi to feel the Emperor's wrath, but a few of their number managed to survive and pass on their knowledge. Later, some of the surviving Matukai joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum, feeling that the New Jedi Order was less stringent than the Jedi had been in the Old Republic. However, the arrival of the Yuuzhan Vong invaders brought the Matukai into the conflict and several of them fell in the ensuing war.

Matukai philosophy was centered around creating a balance and harmony between the spiritual Force and the physical body, using exercise as a form of meditation. Their training involved meditative martial arts, physical training, and somatic rituals, and they were noted for being able to develop a Force-sensitivity in many beings who were not inherently gifted with the Force. Using their bodies as a focus, they emphasized keeping oneself clean and strong, purifying oneself through physical activity, and avoiding the dark side. Unlike the Jedi Order, they did not use lightsabers, instead wielding a polearm weapon known as a wan-shen.

November 7, 2009 – Etahn A'bahtEdit

Etahn A'baht was a pragmatic career naval officer, devoted to military service. A Dornean, he served in the Dornean Navy with distinction, rising to command the entire eighty-ship force and using it to keep the Galactic Empire from conquering Dornea. He fought with the Alliance to Restore the Republic at the Battle of Endor, but Dornea declined to join that body or the New Republic until after A'baht had driven the Empire from Dornean space entirely.

In 14 ABY, Dornea joined the New Republic, and A'baht was recruited into the New Republic Defense Fleet. In 16 ABY, he became the inaugural commander of the New Republic Fifth Battle Group, which was quickly put to the test in the Black Fleet Crisis. Despite causing President Leia Organa Solo to doubt his judgment when he became irritated with her reluctance to consider the Yevetha a threat, A'baht was fully backed by Supreme Commander Ackbar and regained Organa Solo's confidence. He led the Fifth Fleet, and later a double-sized combined force, against Viceroy Nil Spaar of the Duskhan League, defeating the Yevetha in the Battle of N'zoth.

A'baht later left command of the Fifth and accepted a demotion to brigadier general. He remained an important officer in the fleet, and served as one of the top strategic advisors to Supreme Commander Sien Sovv during the Yuuzhan Vong War, urging Sovv to abandon his strategy of defending only strategically vital worlds and leaving the rest to fend for themselves.

November 8, 2009 – Var'Rotha Fin'RothaEdit

Var'Rotha Fin'Rotha was a Tolanese bounty hunter who operated out of the Outer Rim prior to the Galactic Civil War. Good with women and even better with weapons, he was confident and successful in his line of work, and put great pride into his ship, the Tolan's Tusk, which he frequently furnished with forbidden modifications.

Fin'Rotha owned a duo of personal slaves: Gorge and Greel, two Gamorrean brothers. He was unaware that the two were more intelligent than the average Gamorrean, and underestimated them to his detriment. While he was meant to be cleaning the Tolan's Tusk, Greel sabotaged the ship's hyperdrive and freed his brother; they cornered their master and gave him two choices: he could leave the ship in an escape pod or through an airlock.

He chose the former and was left hideously scarred in the ensuing crash on the nearest planet. Ashamed and vengeful, Fin'Rotha made it his mission to track them down and exact his revenge. He eventually found them on Reuss VIII, and—along with a gang of hired mercenaries—laid siege to their cantina, killing the two Gamorreans and anyone else who got in his way.

November 9, 2009 – Crimson JackEdit

Crimson Jack, nicknamed "Redbeard" by Han Solo, was the Pirate Master of a gang of space pirates which operated in the Outer Rim. Although originally using gunships to carry out their raids, the pirate gang eventually discovered a crippled Imperial cruiser that had limped away from the Battle of Toprawa. After raiding the ship, Crimson Jack appropriated the craft for his own use, making his pirating operation much more formidable. To repair the craft, Jack received funding from Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, in return for a share of the profits. After restoring the Imperial vessel, Jack and his crew encountered smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca in the Millennium Falcon, fresh from their participation in the Battle of Yavin. Upon bringing the Falcon aboard the ship with a tractor beam, Jack stole Solo's reward that he had received from rescuing Princess Leia Organa.

Jack let Solo leave with a tracer placed aboard his ship, hoping that he might be able to pull the same caper on Solo at a later time. A short while later, Jack captured both Leia Organa and Solo, intent on ransoming the Rebel princess to the Alliance command. In an elaborate ruse, Solo and Organa were able to convince Jack that there was a Rebel treasury in the Drexel system. After arriving in the system, Solo and Organa managed to escape, when the ship-dwellers of Drexel attempted to pull Crimson Jack's ship out of the sky. The threat of the ship-dwellers was eventually resolved, and Jack sent his Raider Squadron, led by his second in command, Jolli, to shoot down the Millennium Falcon. However, Solo defeated Jack's starfighters and crippled Jolli's ship. Jack continued to pursue the Falcon, but Solo revealed that while on Jack's ship, he had erased Jack's navi-computer star charts, stranding his ship in the system. Solo and Jack agreed to meet in space, using a magnetic field, to negotiate the return of the star charts. During the encounter, Jack double-crossed the smuggler, ambushing Solo with his own men. However, Jolli, who had survived the encounter with the Falcon, turned on her captain for abandoning her after her craft had been disabled. Using Jolli's distraction, Solo was able to escape the ambush. Facing Jack in one-on-one combat, Solo fired a blaster bolt through the man's chest, killing him.

November 10, 2009 – Chancellor SquidfaceEdit

The Supreme Chancellor at the time of the Great Sith War was a gray-skinned, mollusk-like sentient male. A member of the Galactic Senate, he became Chancellor after the death of Sidrona Diath in 3,997 BBY. He was a firm supporter of the Jedi, and a friend of Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas and Minister of Defense Netus. Just one standard year into the Chancellor's reign, the Galactic Republic fell prey to a group of unidentified terrorists, who plundered and looted many shipyards for a number of months, avoiding detection and apprehension by the Republic Navy. Rumors abounded that a rogue Jedi Knight was responsible, though the Chancellor dismissed them; he and the Senate refused the Jedi Order clearance to intervene and deal with the supposed rogue Jedi itself.

The Order sent Vodo-Siosk Baas to meet with the Chancellor and the Senate and persuade them to overturn their decision, though as they rendezvoused, Dark Lord of the Sith Ulic Qel-Droma—a former Jedi, who had been responsible for the terrorist strikes—launched an attack on Coruscant, capital world of the Republic. The Republic was able to fend his forces off, though, and captured Qel-Droma; the Chancellor decreed that he would be put on trial, held accountable for his crimes, and punished with death. Qel-Droma refused to show regret for his actions at the trial, but before the Chancellor and his fellow Senate members could order his execution, Qel-Droma's fellow Sith Lord Exar Kun forced entry into the Senate Hall. He used the Force to subdue the audience and approached the pulpit on which the Chancellor stood. The Chancellor attempted to attack Kun with his staff; the Sith Lord was too powerful, though, using the dark side to force the Chancellor into telling the congregation that the Senate was a meaningless institution. With that, Kun killed the Chancellor.

November 11, 2009 – Duel on AmbriaEdit

The Duel on Ambria was a brief battle that occurred in the year 990 BBY, between the Sith-aspirant Hetton, his eight servants, and Darth Bane, Dark Lord of the Sith. Instigated by Bane's own apprentice Darth Zannah, the duel ensued after Hetton, who had been tricked by Zannah into giving her information regarding the creation of Holocrons, arrived at Bane's camp on the planet Ambria—having been led there by Zannah.

While meditating at his camp, Bane was surprised by the sudden appearance of Hetton's eight Umbaran-trained Shadow Assassins, each armed with their customary Force pikes. Though outnumbered, Bane immediately readied for battle as all eight assassins attacked, attempting to overwhelm him with the strength of their numbers. After cutting down three of them, Bane was interrupted by Hetton, who had Darth Zannah at his side. Hetton then charged Bane, with his five remaining assassins doing the same. However, all were subsequently killed by the superior might and skill of Darth Bane. Hetton was last to meet his demise, and upon ending his life, Bane attacked Zannah. Before the Dark Lord could kill her for her seeming betrayal, Zannah revealed the truth; she had been using Hetton all along, and from him she had discovered information on creating Holocrons, a secret which had eluded Bane until that moment.

November 12, 2009 – GobeeEdit

Second-in-command to the Beast-Lord Oron Kira, Gobee was a Human male citizen from the Inner Rim world of Onderon. A Beast Rider who held the rank of commander, Gobee descended from a society of warriors who had originally been exiled from the city of Iziz for their refusal to submit to the power of the dark side of the Force, and forced to take refuge in the planet's wilderness. A man who typically demonstrated a great degree of loyalty, Gobee often went into battle by Beast-Lord Kira's side. He served with Kira in the final battle of the four hundred-year-long Beast Wars, leading his own contingent of soldiers in aerial assaults against Onderon's capital city of Iziz. When he deemed the city as being sufficiently secured, Gobee continued to lead the Beast Riders, this time from the ground, in a final attack on the Iziz Royal Palace. The actions of Gobee, as well as the intervention of four Jedi Knights, aided in the subsequent victory of the Beast Riders over the city's rulers, members of a Sith cult known as the Naddists—worshipers of the specter of Freedon Nadd, an ancient and long-deceased Dark Lord of the Sith.

However, the peace that Gobee and his kin fought for was short-lived. After personally discovering the existence of Onderon's thought-to-be-dead King Ommin, the secret leader of the Naddist cult, Gobee again fought by Kira's side against Ommin's Naddist army throughout the Freedon Nadd Uprising of 3,998 BBY. With assistance this time from military forces of the Galactic Republic, Gobee, Lord Kira, and the Beast Riders triumphed over the Naddists. Afterward, Gobee, along with his fellow Beast Riders, were able to finally enjoy a time of planetary peace, having defeated the dark side power of Freedon Nadd that had dominated their world for generations.

November 13, 2009 – Duel in the SenateEdit

In the year 3,996 BBY during the Great Sith War, a duel took place in the Senate Hall of the Galactic Republic, between the Krevaaki Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas and his former apprentice Exar Kun, now Dark Lord of the Sith. It commenced on Coruscant, in the Hall's Grand Convocation Chamber, during the trial of Kun's apprentice and fellow Sith Lord, Ulic Qel-Droma. Accompanied by Mandalore the Indomitable, Exar Kun arrived on Coruscant and stormed the Senate Hall, where he found Ulic Qel-Droma on trial for crimes against the Republic. Using Sith magic, the Dark Lord mentally froze the Galactic Senate assembly, leaving only the present Jedi and the Supreme Chancellor uninhibited. After freeing Qel-Droma, he then accosted and killed the Chancellor and prepared to exit; however, the Sith were halted by the arrival of Kun's former teacher—Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas.

Kun and Master Baas engaged in a heated verbal exchange, with neither willing to accept the other's terms. Kun then ignited his lightsaber while issuing his challenge, and his blade met Baas' Force-imbued staff in battle. When it was realized that the opponents were evenly matched in combat, Kun sought to tip the balance in his favor by revealing his latest creation, a weapon of ancient Sith design: the double-bladed lightsaber. Baas' own mettle now faltering under the strength of Kun's blows, the Master sensed his impending demise as he prophesied a future meeting between the two of them, where Baas vowed to defeat Kun forever. He then became one with the Force under the power of Kun's killing stroke, being mocked by his former apprentice even unto death. His part in the bloody Jedi pogrom complete, the Dark Lord of the Sith departed the Convocation Chamber with Ulic Qel-Droma and Mandalore the Indomitable, resuming their quest for dominion over the galaxy.

November 15, 2009 – Janek SunberEdit

Janek Sunber was a native of Tatooine and a boyhood friend of Luke Skywalker, nicknamed "Tank" by his friends for his large frame. Growing up on a moisture farm, he set his sights on the skies and applied to become an Imperial pilot. His test scores were not sufficient, so instead he joined the Imperial Army. A dedicated and hardworking cadet, he graduated and quickly made lieutenant. Sunber saw his first combat at Maridun, when his company was attacked by a vastly superior Amanin force. During the battle, Sunber distinguished himself to his commander, General Ziering, with his work ethic, quick thinking, bravery, and tactical aptitude. Sunber devised the strategy that saved the beleaguered Imperial camp, and when Ziering was killed in battle, he devoted his dying words to praising Sunber and promoting him to the rank of commander. Sunber led the camp's defenders to victory, but his jealous former superior and now subordinate, Captain Gage, refused to verify Sunber's promotion after the battle.

Continuing his career as a lieutenant, Sunber eventually was assigned to rooting out the last of the Loyalists on Jabiim. They were taken as slaves to Kalist VI, which troubled Sunber. On Kalist VI, Sunber risked his career to prevent another lieutenant from raping a slave, but escaped punishment after a Rebel attack on the base. One of the participants was his old friend Skywalker. Sunber confronted him, refusing Skywalker's entreaties to join the Rebellion, as he still saw the Empire as the right side in the Galactic Civil War, a force for order. Skywalker escaped, leaving Sunber wounded.

Sunber was tormented by learning that Skywalker, as well as his other friend Biggs Darklighter, had become his enemies. He was unable to deal with the possibility that he might have chosen the wrong course, and eventually came to conclude that he had to stop his old friend. He volunteered his knowledge of Skywalker to Darth Vader, who tasked him to capture the Rebel hero. Sunber sent a message stating he wished to defect and was "rescued" by Skywalker, who brought him among the Alliance Fleet. There, Sunber attempted to subdue the young Jedi and the pair battled. Sunber had Skywalker at his mercy but could not kill his childhood friend when the ship was damaged in an attack by Vader's fleet. Sunber found himself hanging on the edge of a pit, an unconscious and wounded Leia Organa grasped in his hand. He saved the Rebel leader, handing her up to Skywalker, before he lost his grip and fell away.

November 16, 2009 – OOM-9Edit

OOM-9 was a B1 battle droid created by Baktoid Combat Automata prior to the invasion of the planet Naboo in 32 BBY. OOM-9 was selected to serve as a command battle droid for the invasion, leading Trade Federation forces into battle and achieving great success during the early stages of the campaign. Under OOM-9, Trade Federation troops defeated the forces of the Naboo at the First Battle of Harte Secur and the First Battle of Spinnaker, before capturing the capital city of Theed. With news of a primitive species residing in the planet's swamps—the Gungans—reaching the Trade Federation, OOM-9 was charged with hunting them down, and he subsequently forced the evacuation of the underwater city of Otoh Gunga.

The invasion ultimately turned against the Trade Federation when the Gungan Grand Army rallied to the cause of Naboo Queen Padmé Amidala and moved to engage the Trade Federation Droid Army on the Great Grass Plains. OOM-9 was once again charged with leading the battle droids to victory and soon overwhelmed the Gungan forces. However, the concurrent Naboo Space Battle went against the Trade Federation, seeing the destruction of a Lucrehulk-class Droid Control Ship. With the loss of the control ship, OOM-9 joined his forces in powering down, halted on the verge of victory.

November 17, 2009 – Madam RhodenEdit

Madam Rhoden was the wife of Clode Rhoden, the ruler of Yorn Skot. Dissatisfied with her husband, she began an affair with her personal trainer Buck, a member of an the eco-terrorist group Green Forge. With Buck's assistance, Madam Rhoden smuggled a core bomb on board the Aurorient Express cruise liner as part of a plot to kill her husband. However, Clode Rhoden was aware of her scheme, and had the bomb stolen from her quarters. Due to the combination of a plot by pressure pirates, an apparent failure in navigation, and the discovery that a core bomb was somewhere aboard, the Aurorient Express was evacuated.

Madam Rhoden was intercepted on the way to her life pod by Saul Moegantz, a creditor of her husband, who made her a proposal. She joined him in his own life pod to discuss it, narrowly escaping her husband's revenge; Clode Rhoden had planted the core bomb in the life pod his wife was supposed to use. Surviving this attempt on her life, Madam Rhoden joined forces with Moegantz to ruin her husband completely. In a confrontation with Clode aboard one of the evacuation vessels, she declared that she would divorce him and take a sizable part of his assets, while Moegantz would take over Clode's Yorn Skot Mining Station to settle the debt he was owed.

November 18, 2009 – Johun OthoneEdit

Johun Othone was a Human male Jedi Knight, the former padawan of Lord Hoth, and later of Valenthyne Farfalla. Born on Sermeria, Othone was taken into the Jedi Order at the age of ten and apprenticed to Hoth. Before Hoth and Othone became involved with the New Sith Wars, they visited backwater planets on the Outer Rim, staying far away from the Core of the galaxy and politics in general. However, Hoth later created the Army of Light to fight the Brotherhood of Darkness in the New Sith Wars. Othone fought with Hoth during this time, especially during the Ruusan campaign, though his master was killed when the Sith detonated a thought bomb on Ruusan. The blast affected all Force-sensitives on the planet, killing all of the Sith and Jedi on the world at the time. Othone had evacuated Ruusan with thousands of other Jedi and soldiers of the Republic, and survived the blast. Othone had fears that a Sith survived the blast, though he was convinced otherwise by Valenthyne Farfalla, an Equine Jedi Master who later took Othone as his Padawan.

Othone accompanied Farfalla to Coruscant, the capital of the Republic, for a meeting with the Supreme Chancellor, Tarsus Valorum, concerning the Ruusan Reformation. There, changes were made to the Republic, resulting in the dissolution of the Army of Light. After the meeting, Farfalla knighted Othone and gave him a mission to protect Valorum as a Chancellor's Guard. Othone protected Valorum throughout his two terms as chancellor and became his advisor after Valorum stepped down from his position. In 990 BBY, Othone saved Valorum's life from the Anti-Republic Liberation Front, which put the former chancellor in debt with the Jedi. In gratitude, Valorum convinced the Galactic Senate to build a memorial on Ruusan as a tribute to Othone's master, Hoth, and the other Jedi who died to destroy the Sith. Othone, monitoring the construction of the memorial, had his fears of a surviving Sith confirmed when the failed Jedi, Darovit, came forward, revealing the presence of a Sith named Bane and his apprentice Zannah, who was Darovit's cousin. Othone told Farfalla of the surviving Sith; he convinced his former master of Bane's and Zannah's existence, and Othone, Farfalla, and three other Jedi—Sarro Xaj, Raskta Lsu, and Worror—confronted the Sith on Tython. The Jedi lost the duel, and all five were killed; Othone was the last to die, impaled by Zannah's lightsaber.

November 19, 2009 – Tian ChylerEdit

Tian Chyler was a Human female who served the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Initially a member of the Galactic Empire's Sub-Adult Group, Chyler was selected by her superiors for training from the Imperial Security Bureau. After completing her training, she was tasked with rooting out Republic Alliance sympathizers within Imperial Center's law enforcement community. She did so skillfully, and was given a more important role: the infiltration of Bespin's mining guilds, to investigate the possibility of any unregistered Tibanna gas mining.

Posing as a Corellian official fleeing from Ando, Chyler soon discovered that Bespin's Cloud City harbored a considerable amount of under-the-table mining. Reporting her findings to the Sith Lord Darth Vader, she was promised a promotion by her superiors in the Bureau. Unfortunately for Chyler, an uprising amongst Aqualish miners led her to be reprimanded for not being able to keep the employees in check. She never received her promotion, and, growing frustrated with the Empire, she defected to the Alliance.

November 20, 2009 – LutrillianEdit

The Lutrillians were sentient humanoids indigenous to the planet Lutrillia, in the Yarith sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Members of the species had broad, wrinkled features, pointed ears, and hair growing from their heads and cheeks. Thick skin and a layer of blubber bolstered them against physical damage and harsh cold. The Lutrillians evolved a nomadic lifestyle to avoid subterranean predators and to visit oases scattered about their remarkably flat homeworld. They adapted to the introduction of galactic technology by moving into wheeled platform-cities. These mechanical beasts lumbered across the planet's equator, stripping the surface of food, water, and raw materials. Lutrillians enjoyed adventure, high stakes, and chance-taking, traits that made them natural entrepreneurs.

In the early years of their world's introduction to the greater galaxy, traveling to Lutrillia required a time-consuming side trip from the Corellian Trade Spine in what was then considered Mugaari Space. Around 400 BBY, the explorer and entrepreneur Ecclessis Figg blazed a more direct route to the world that became known as the Lutrillian Cross. The Lutrillians found themselves with greater contact to the outside galaxy than ever before, and their influence in the Greater Javin region of the Outer Rim expanded. Lutrillians established themselves on many worlds. Some of the more successful Lutrillians included Solomahal, a general of the Clone Wars, Treva Horme, head salesbeing and executive planner for Planet Dreams, Inc., on Bespin, and Sawthawne, a crime lord of that same world.

November 21, 2009 – FoharghEdit

Fohargh was a Makurth male student at the Sith Academy on Korriban during the New Sith Wars. He attended the Academy alongside such notable apprentices as Bane, whom he bested in a lightsaber training duel early on in the Human's own tenure. However, their next encounter would result in Fohargh's own death.

The Makurth readily accepted Bane's challenge to a rematch, and during the duel, was soon able to overcome his opponent by striking his fighting arm and rendering it useless. However, as Fohargh mocked his seemingly defeated opponent, Bane surrendered himself to the dark side of the Force and slew the Makurth, strangling the life from him on the rooftop of the Korriban Academy.

November 22, 2009 – Darth SionEdit

Darth Sion, the Lord of Pain, was a Sith Lord who lived in the time of the Old Sith Wars. As a Sith Marauder in the Great Sith War, Sion fought for Exar Kun's Sith Empire until the day he was struck down. Rather than die, though, Sion found that by calling on his pain, anger, and hatred, he could rise from certain death and achieve immortality, at the cost of all-consuming agony. With a body fractured and decomposing, but held together by the dark side of the Force, Sion survived the Great Sith War.

Sion allied himself with the next Sith Empire to arise in the galaxy, that of Darth Revan and Darth Malak. Those Sith, too, fell, and he watched from the Sith Academy on Korriban as the Empire tore itself apart. Sion soon found new purpose with Darth Traya and Darth Nihilus, a pair of Sith Lords who together with Sion formed the Sith Triumvirate, dedicated to restoring the Sith and eliminating the Jedi. In their headquarters on Malachor V, Sion served as Traya's disciple. Eventually, frustrated with her teachings, he and Nihilus stripped her of the Force and cast her out. The two ruling Sith Lords went on to reunite most of the surviving Sith remnants and continue their war on the Jedi, with great success.

With the Jedi all but eliminated, Sion took notice of a new Jedi returning to known space, the Jedi Exile of the Mandalorian Wars. His attempt to kill her was thwarted by Traya, who managed to get the Exile to Peragus II. Sion followed in a captured Republic ship, the Harbinger, but the Exile and her companions escaped once more. He encountered her again at Korriban, but beginning to feel strange new feelings for her, he let her escape. Traya eventually betrayed the Exile and returned to take command of the Sith and Sion. Sion awaited the Exile on Malachor V; in their final battle he was struck down again and again, but rose each time. The Exile showed Sion the price he paid for immortality, convincing him to let go, and the Sith Lord at last allowed himself to die.

November 24, 2009 – Lushros DofineEdit

Lushros Dofine was the captain of the Providence-class carrier/destroyer Invisible Hand during the Clone Wars. Born to the Dofines of Neimoidia, he exhibited a cool demeanor not usually associated with his fellow Neimoidians, and so he rose through the ranks of his society with relative ease. He trained as a freighter captain in the Trade Federation, and in time, he was given command of a Lucrehulk-class battleship. In 22 BBY, he was present at the Battle of Geonosis, and he aided General Grievous in retreating from the Galactic Republic's onslaught.

Dofine's actions at Geonosis earned him the respect of Grievous, who put him in command of the Invisible Hand. Dofine saw much combat during the Clone Wars, and the calmness he had exuded throughout his life served him well once again. The Neimoidian fought his last battle at the Republic's capital world, Coruscant. After Grievous had successfully kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Dofine began his retreat, but he was harried by both Jedi Knights that had boarded the ship, and Republic Star Destroyers that were engaging in broadsides with him. As the situation continued to sour, Dofine abandoned ship, but his escape pod was struck by stray turbolaser fire in the process, killing the captain instantly.

November 25, 2009 – Windo NendEdit

Windo Nend, called "Warble" by his friends, was a male Quara Aqualish Padawan and Jedi Commander during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, he was stationed on the planet Jabiim, where Republic and Jedi forces vied with the Separatist contingent under General Alto Stratus. Nend, having lost his master in the war, was part of a group of similar Jedi students known as the Padawan Pack; the theory of the Jedi leadership on the planet was that a group of Padawans acting in concert would have the combined abilities of a smaller number of Jedi Knights or Masters. As the rest of the Jedi on the planet were killed off, Nend and the Padawan Pack stood with the only line of defense against Separatist reinforcements as the Republic forces attempted to evacuate. On the forty-first day of the battle, Nend was killed when a Separatist Hailfire droid rolled over him, but not before he could set off explosives to disable the droid. Later, his colleague and fellow Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, whispered Nend's name to a memory moth in a Jedi monument on New Holstice, to be repeated alongside the names of other fallen Jedi for eternity.

November 26, 2009 – Duel in the Korriban AcademyEdit

The Duel in the Korriban Academy was a battle between the rival apprentices Bane and Sirak, alongside their allies amongst the students of the Sith Academy on Korriban. Inside the school's library, the two sides engaged in lightsaber combat—Sirak, flanked by a pair of fellow Zabrak, the twins, Yevra and Llokay, against the Humans Bane and Githany.

Seeking revenge for being defeated by Bane during a training duel, Sirak had accepted help from Githany, who claimed she could lure an unsuspecting Bane into the Academy's library. Upon doing so, Githany betrayed Sirak by arming Bane with his lightsaber, and instead, sided with him to engage Sirak in battle. Despite their superior numbers, the Zabrak twins were both killed by Githany, as Bane dueled Sirak. Bane bested him yet again, leaving Sirak begging for mercy before he decapitated him.

November 27, 2009 – WorrorEdit

Worror was a male Ithorian Jedi Master. Being a healer by profession, he was known amongst his peers to have never wielded a lightsaber, instead providing support for his allies in combat through his proficiency with Jedi battle meditation. One of the many Jedi to engage Lord Kaan's Brotherhood of Darkness during the New Sith Wars, Worror went to battle alongside such notable Masters as Lord Valenthyne Farfalla. In the final campaign of the war, Worror served with Lord Hoth.

Worror's career as a Jedi Master ended in the year 990 BBY. He was part of a strike team led by Farfalla to the planet Tython on a mission to eliminate the only surviving Sith Lords of the Sith War, Darth Bane, and his apprentice Zannah. The Jedi believed that their advantage of greater numbers in combat would ensure their victory; however, they were unprepared for the strength of Bane and the cunning of his pupil, and soon became overwhelmed by the Sith's power during their confrontation on Tython. Worror died amongst his companions, having his four throats slashed by Darth Bane's lightsaber.

November 28, 2009 – Niai FiesoEdit

Niai Fieso was a confidence trickster from Veterned, Troiken. Born into poverty, he roamed the streets of Veterned, not able to hold down a job until he found work in Freon Drevan's criminal organization as a factory worker, producing counterfeit Gasgano podracing merchandise. He was also given the opportunity to swindle innocent beings, and the way in which he acquitted himself impressed Drevan to such a degree that the young Fieso soon found himself the most valued member of the organization. Together, Fieso and Drevan entered the smuggling business.

Fieso, however, tired of Drevan and set his elder up for a fall, alerting the authorities and leaving Drevan with tax debt. Striking out on his own, Fieso enjoyed success away from Troiken and masqueraded as an agent for Gasgano. He tried his hand at swindling the businesses of the Corporate Sector, but he soon attracted the attention of the Corporate Sector Authority. Chased out of the Corporate Sector by the Security Police, Fieso tried to lay low on the arid world of Tatooine. There, he found work as a vendor at the Mos Espa Grand Arena during the Boonta Eve Classic in 32 BBY. What Fieso did not realize was that Drevan was present in the crowd, and after a very public fight, the pair found themselves in jail, with Fieso transferred to the Corporate Sector Authority's custody.

November 29, 2009 – Jek Tono PorkinsEdit

Jek Tono Porkins was a trader and pilot from Bestine IV who, along with the other Bestines, was forced to abandon his homeworld when the Galactic Empire chose it as the site of a new military base. Seeking the opportunity to strike back at the Empire, Porkins joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic and was assigned to Tierfon Rebel Base for pilot training with the Tierfon Yellow Aces. His skill at low-altitude strafing runs and his rotund physique earned him the nicknames "Belly Runner" and "Piggy." After the completion of the Empire's Death Star, the Yellow Aces were taken to fully active status and transferred to fill gaps in pilot rosters at other Rebel bases. When Porkins's good friend Wes Janson was taken ill with a case of Hesken Fever, Porkins was given his friend's assignment instead and transferred to Red Squadron, operating out of the Great Temple on Yavin 4.

Porkins soon took part in his first missions with Red Squadron, working with Biggs Darklighter, Wedge Antilles, and Cesi Eirriss to help retrieve a number of astromech droids from the smuggler Nera Dantels on Commenor. The group returned to Yavin 4 just before the arrival of the Death Star in the Yavin system, on a mission to destroy the Rebel base. Porkins flew as Red Six during the Battle of Yavin, his skills at strafing aiding the Rebels early in the battle. However, when his T-65 X-wing starfighter was struck by debris, leaving him with several mechanical and computer malfunctions, Porkins was hit by enemy turbolaser fire and killed.

November 30, 2009 – MoragEdit

Morag was a Tulgah sorceress who resided on the Forest Moon of Endor. The sworn enemy of the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village, she once stole from them a powerful artifact, the Sunstar-Shadowstone, believing that it would help her conquer the forest moon. During the theft, she was opposed by the Ewok Logray, and, amused by his antics, she brought the Ewok back to her fortress on Mount Thunderstone to act as her servant. However, this proved to be her undoing, as before she could use the artifact, the stone was broken in half by her Ewok servant. Logray escaped the witch's lair with the light half of the stone, the "Sunstar," and used the powers he had learned from watching Morag to protect Bright Tree Village. Morag held a personal grudge against the Ewok shaman, and constantly sought revenge, hoping to destroy the Ewoks and gain possession of the other half of the stone. With the dark side of the artifact, the Shadowstone, embedded in her magical staff, Morag menaced the Ewoks for nearly two hundred years. Although Morag sometimes won minor victories over the Ewoks, Logray was able to keep his people from total destruction.

Around 3 ABY, Morag implemented a number of plots to destroy Bright Tree Village, enlisting the aid of local Phlogs for some and coercing the Duloks into helping with others. During this time, she was often foiled by the efforts of the Ewok Wicket Wystri Warrick and his friends, who kept Morag from any lasting success. However, she eventually found her chance to confront Logray by exploiting the carelessness of the young Ewok children. Kidnapping Wicket and his friends, Teebo, Latara, and Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, she ransomed the group in exchange for the Sunstar. In a confrontation at her lair, Morag overpowered the Ewok shaman, obtaining the Sunstar and finally reuniting the two broken halves. However, the resulting power surge collapsed her fortress, and activated the volcano within Mount Thunderstone. Only the power of the Sunstar saved Morag from death, instead transforming her into an imposing lava creature. As Morag attempted to finish off her old nemesis, Logray activated a geyser of water, freezing Morag into a statue of stone. With one final attempt to destroy the Ewoks, Morag lunged for Logray but collapsed into a pile of rubble.

December 1, 2009 – Ecclessis FiggEdit

Ecclessis Figg was an eccentric explorer and entrepreneur who founded Cloud City and propelled himself into vast fortune with the creation of a business empire. After leaving his homeworld of Corellia at eighteen, Figg spent his next years taking jobs and participating in adventures along the Corellian Trade Spine. After he saved the life of a woman named Yarith, a lesser noble of the Royal House of Alderaan, Figg courted and married her. Yarith opened her fortunes to him, giving him the capital he needed to found the Outer Javin Company.

Figg's company sponsored a number of expeditions along the Trade Spine, the businessman and his wife participating in many of them, and Figg's eventual charting of new hyperspace routes through the Twin Nebulae made him an extremely wealthy man. He eventually turned to the seemingly unremarkable gas giant Bespin, on which years ago he had discovered vast amounts of easily accessible Tibanna gas, a hyperdrive coolant. When Figg found that Bespin's Tibanna was naturally suited for the ammunition of blasters, he expanded his operation into the airborne colony Floating Home. With the help of Ugnaughts, who he freed from slavery in exchange for constructing the colony, Figg had his new facility built. He saw the potential in Bespin's natural scenery for tourism and expanded the colony even further, turning it into the floating metropolis of Cloud City, a site of luxury, entertainment, and gambling.

Figg lived long enough to preside over the formation of the Anoat sector, and after making pronouncements on the future of Cloud City's government from his deathbed, the entrepreneur died. His children survived him, continuing the Figg name and propagating the fortune and influence the man had built up. Figg himself remained a legendary figure in the region, especially among the Ugnaughts.

December 2, 2009 – SirakEdit

Sirak was a male Zabrak who trained as a Sith apprentice at the Academy on Korriban during the New Sith Wars. For much of his time at the Academy he was the top apprentice and was favored by many of the Sith Masters there, particularly Qordis. Sirak was renowned at the Academy for his strength in the dark side and his skills in lightsaber combat. He developed a rival in the fellow apprentice Bane, whom Sirak believed was one of the few students that could eventually challenge his place at the Academy. When Bane lost his own favor with the Masters for withdrawing from the dark side, he sought to re-establish his position by challenging Sirak. The Zabrak defeated his Human opponent easily, and from then on, disregarded Bane as a threat to his standing.

Several weeks later, Sirak was challenged by Bane again. He was unaware that Bane had received secret training from Kas'im, the Academy's Blademaster, in preparation for seeking revenge for his earlier loss. Bane's tediously-honed skills allowed him to fully manipulate the duel, drawing out Sirak's defeat. Hesitating on the killing blow, Bane was stopped by Kas'im, who recognized that Sirak was not only beaten but humiliated.

Furious and desperate for vengeance, Sirak plotted ways of killing Bane. His opportunity presented itself when Githany, a deserter of the Jedi Order, offered to help Sirak kill his enemy. Along with the Zabrak twins, Llokay and Yevra, Sirak waited in the library while Githany lured Bane to them. However, Githany had in truth betrayed the Zabrak trio, and instead fought alongside Bane against them. The former Jedi proceeded to kill the twin Zabrak with her lightwhip, and Bane decapitated Sirak as he begged for mercy.

December 3, 2009 – OrrimaarkoEdit

Orrimaarko, known to many as simply Prune Face, was a Dressellian resistance fighter and a key figure in the liberation of his homeworld, Dressel. He was xenophobic, particularly toward Humans, and when the Empire subjugated Dressel around 10 BBY, he and his fellows took up arms and fought back, becoming masters of guerrilla tactics. Aided by their allies, the more technologically sophisticated Bothans, who provided them with advanced weaponry and mercenary training, a Dressellian rebellion was formed with Orrimaarko at its helm, effectively fending off the Empire. They became embroiled in a war lasting over a decade, which mostly occurred at small engagements in the planet's dense forests.

When the Bothans allied with the Alliance to Restore the Republic, an invitation to the Alliance was issued to Orrimaarko and his people, which they reluctantly accepted. Orrimaarko became the first Dressellian to take command of an Alliance Special Forces team; however, he and his colleagues were often mocked and ridiculed behind their backs by the predominantly Human Alliance, which he viewed with much concern. In 4 ABY, the Rebels conducted a strike against the Empire's second Death Star at Endor, with a strike team disabling the superweapon's shield on Endor's surface. Based on his experience, Orrimaarko felt that he should have been selected to lead the mission, but instead, Han Solo, a man whom Orrimaarko felt was far less qualified, was chosen and made a general. Orrimaarko went to Endor as part of Solo's team and played an invaluable role in the Alliance's victory at the pivotal Battle of Endor, but he was quick to berate Alliance officials for what he saw as Humanocentrism and favoritism. With their homeworld eventually purged of any Imperial presence, the Dressellians returned to their reclusive, xenophobic ways despite becoming a member state of the New Republic.

December 4, 2009 – Dannl FaytonniEdit

Dannl Faytonni was a male Human from Corellia. Although he originally aspired to serve the Republic as an officer, he was conned into fronting a phony spice mine by a changeling. On the run from the law, with his hopes of working in law enforcement dashed, Faytonni decided to make a living as a con artist. Teaming up with his inventive friend Achk Med-Beq, Faytonni set off across the galaxy, gambling and conning his way to Coruscant.

Upon reaching the galactic capital, the partners in crime were arrested and detained at CoCo Penitentiary, but not for long. Faytonni and Med-Beq made a newsworthy escape from the prison, and set up shop in the Outlander Club, where they constantly hunted and pecked for "marks." They found several, in the form of Oakie Dokes and Magaloof, and were able to successfully pull off several confidence tricks.

December 5, 2009 – Janus GreejatusEdit

Janus Greejatus was a male Human Dark Side Adept, and an advisor to Galactic Emperor Palpatine. From an early age, while growing up on his homeworld of Chommell Minor, Greejatus bore unbridled hatred toward non-Humans, since they had damaged his family's finances severely in years prior. Entering Chommell Minor politics, he earned the notice of his sector's representative, Senator Palpatine of Naboo. When Palpatine became Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Greejatus succeeded him as senator, but was soon drummed out of the office by influential politicians on Naboo, who disagreed with his closed-border policies.

Palpatine offered Greejatus a new role: that of advisor to the Supreme Chancellor. The Chommell Minor native accepted, and continued to serve Palpatine in that role when the Supreme Chancellor made himself Galactic Emperor, and transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire. Under the new regime, Greejatus became a member of the Imperial Ruling Council, helped shape the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, and was trained in the ways of the dark side of the Force, becoming a Dark Side Adept. He also founded the Imperial Department of Redesign—a secretive team dedicated to the suppression and elimination of non-Human species. Greejatus later attempted to convince Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin to seize power, and was found out by Palpatine. The Emperor subsequently decided to keep Greejatus on a tighter leash, bringing him to the Death Star II in 4 ABY. The Chommell Minor native was believed to have perished when the station was destroyed at the Battle of Endor.

December 6, 2009 – Mandalore the IndomitableEdit

Mandalore the Indomitable, translated as Te Kandosii Mand'alor in Mando'a, and referred to as Mandalore by foes and allies alike, was a male Taung who served as warlord of the Mandalorian Clans prior to and during the events of the Great Sith War. In the year 3,996 BBY, believing that the seven worlds of the Empress Teta system—under the control of a dark side society called the Krath—had been weakened by numerous campaigns, Mandalore the Indomitable led his Mandalorian Crusaders in an invasion of Tetan space. What followed was a confrontation with the Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, leader of the Krath military, the outcome of which saw Mandalore the Indomitable swear a personal oath of allegiance to Qel-Droma and pledge his Mandalorian army to augment the Sith forces.

Following Qel-Droma in his quest to control the galaxy and defeat the Jedi Order, Mandalore, along with the Krath sorceress Aleema Keto, helped Qel-Droma plan an invasion of the Republic capital of Coruscant. After Qel-Droma was captured by the Jedi during the battle, Mandalore later learned that Qel-Droma had been betrayed by the ambitious Keto, who planned to use Qel-Droma's capture as an opportunity to usurp complete control of the Krath forces. Remembering the oath he swore to Qel-Droma on Kuar, Mandalore paid lip service to Keto but set out to locate Qel-Droma's partner and master, the Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun, in the hopes that Kun would help rescue Qel-Droma from his prison on Coruscant. Locating Kun on the jungle moon of Yavin 4, Mandalore enlisted the aid of the Sith Lord. Arriving at the Republic capital alongside Kun, Mandalore watched as Kun and his Massassi warriors freed Qel-Droma from the Inquisition charged with prosecuting him for war crimes.

Grateful for the loyalty that Mandalore had shown him, Qel-Droma gave his Mandalorian warlord a special assignment while he and Kun led an assault on the Jedi stronghold of Ossus: while the Sith Lords were busy attacking Ossus, Qel-Droma ordered Mandalore to lead the bulk of his warriors in a massive assault against the Republic world of Onderon. Even though the Mandalorians experienced initial gains in their attack, during the battle the invading forces were thwarted by the defending Beast Riders, led by Beast-Lord Oron Kira, and forced to retreat to Onderon's jungle moon of Dxun. During the retreat, Mandalore was separated from his forces, and found himself surrounded by several predatory creatures native to Dxun. They attacked him, leading to the death of Mandalore the Indomitable; however, his mask was found by one of his Taung soldiers, and this soldier would declare that he was now the new Mandalore.

December 7, 2009 – Faro ArgyusEdit

Faro Argyus was the captain of the Senate Commandos, an elite branch of the Senate Guard, around 22 BBY. Coming from a Tepasi family noted for its honor and loyalty, Argyus was a fifth-generation guard normally stationed on Coruscant. However, after Senator Padmé Amidala managed to capture Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray on Rodia, Argyus was assigned to the Venator-class Star Destroyer Tranquility and tasked with escorting the captured viceroy to Coruscant alongside Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and Padawan Ahsoka Tano.

Unbeknownst to the Republic, Argyus had been bribed by Separatist leader Count Dooku to rescue Gunray from his imprisonment and return him to the Confederacy. Argyus was successful in this task, and he escaped with Gunray in a Republic Consular-class frigate. While aboard, the former Senate Commando boasted to Dooku's assassin Asajj Ventress that his mission had been successful—thereby taking all credit away from Ventress—and that he would report on it to Dooku. Ventress then drove one of her lightsabers into the back of the pilot's seat and through Argyus's chest, killing him.

December 8, 2009 – TynnanEdit

Tynnans were a sentient species native to the Expansion Region planet Tynna. Having evolved from water mammals, they were covered in brown fur and a thick layer of insulating blubber that allowed them to swim comfortably in the cold oceans of their homeworld. This gave the Tynnans a rounded appearance, which, combined with their short stature, made them appear cute and pudgy to many species. They had dark noses, poor eyesight, and pointed ears. Their muzzles sported two buckteeth, although these evolutionary holdovers shortened with each succeeding generation. Tynnans were an intelligent and pragmatic race, renowned for their patient planning. Their system of government was unusual in that their officials were chosen by lottery; consequently, most Tynnans kept themselves well informed on civics and other pertinent issues in case of election to office. This was particularly important as their economy was government-run.

The Tynnans were discovered by Republic scouts and integrated into galactic society. While allowing Republic economic and corporate development, the Tynnans were careful to ensure it proceeded with full environmental safeguards, leaving the natural beauty of their world largely unscathed. The Tynnan government shrewdly reinvested all profits into society, and Tynna grew to be one of the more affluent worlds per capita in the Republic. During the Clone Wars, a suspected terrorist attack on their homeworld involving stone mites prompted the Tynnans to secede from the Republic. Tynna later rejoined the Republic, but their careful management of resources upset their subsequent Imperial governor. The Empire eventually attempted to invade, but a substantial planetary shield, presciently installed beforehand, protected Tynna from attack. They were later invaded and conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong during the Yuuzhan Vong War in 26 ABY, and their planet was terraformed.

Tynna's affluence allowed many Tynnans to travel offworld. Two such individuals were Cham and Nog Teleus, who settled in the Cularin system and sponsored various celebrations there. Also of note was Senator Streamdrinker, arrested for treason against the Empire. A famous Tynnan in the private sector was Odumin, who rose to the influential post of territorial manager for the Corporate Sector Authority. Less well known was the Tynnan Dawson, who worked as a professional thief in the galactic underworld.

December 9, 2009 – BesGas ThreeEdit

BesGas Three was a floating tibanna gas refinery that was located above the Outer Rim world of Bespin, built shortly before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Fearing rebuke by the decidedly anti-droid citizens of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, the droid workers of BesGas Three hijacked the refinery, taking it into the depths of Bespin's Life Zone, and erasing it from all data registries. For twenty-five years, the refinery and its inhabitants would go undisturbed.

In 3 ABY, it was discovered accidentally by a droid named Spanner. As the droid workers of BesGas Three learned, the galaxy had not decided to outlaw droids following the Clone Wars. Hoping to return to civilization, the droids attempted to contact Cloud City, but their timing proved to be disadvantageous, as within hours, the Galactic Empire seized the floating settlement. In the process, the droids of BesGas Three were mind-wiped and absorbed into the Empire's own droid pool. In 36 ABY, the refinery become involved in a siphoning scandal involving the Dark Nest.

December 10, 2009 – Biscuit BaronEdit

Biscuit Baron was a dining establishment owned by the House of Tagge through the Tagge Company's subsidiary Tagge Restaurant Association. With stores located on several planets throughout the galaxy, Biscuit Baron was, by the time of the Galactic Empire's prominence, the largest restaurant chain in existence. Sullust possessed one such establishment, as did Byblos Starport, Coruscant, and Commenor. Among the foodstuffs sold was the Bantha Breakfast Biscuit, its signature blue sauce, the alcoholic beverage ardees, and meal offers such as a QuickSnack, QuickSnackLite, and Jolly Meal. Non-edible products included spot-on locators—modified to announce the nearest Biscuit Baron—and, for a month during the events leading up to the Separatist Crisis and the Clone Wars, commemorative holocubes representing key members in Republic history. The Bantha Breakfast Biscuit also played a major role in the crisis surrounding the planet Gastrula's demise, in the form of the Giant Amorphous Bantha Breakfast Biscuit, a creature formed by the combination of the foodstuff's ingredients and the atmosphere of Gastrula.

December 11, 2009 – AarrbaEdit

Aarrba was a Hutt repairman who resided on Koros Major prior to and during the Great Hyperspace War. Owner and manager of Aarrba's Repair Dock, the Hutt enjoyed a successful business, in which he repaired spacecraft quickly and cheaply. His reputation was a good one in Cinnagar, and he was very protective of it. When two of his customers, Hok and Timar Daragon died during the Battle of Kirrek, Aarrba took it upon himself to look after their children, Gav and Jori, by giving them their parents' ship, Starbreaker 12.

The younger Daragons took it upon themselves to become hyperspace explorers—a hazardous profession, and one that required constant repair to the Starbreaker 12. Soon enough, the Daragons found themselves in Aarrba's debt, and when a shipment owned by merchant lord Ssk Kahorr used one of the "shortcuts" they had discovered was destroyed, they were the targeted by Kahorr's assassins. They betrayed Aarrba by stealing the Starbreaker 12, and when, sometime afterward, Jori returned claiming she had discovered the Sith Empire and that Gav had been captured by them, the Hutt refused to listen. This proved costly for him, however, as he was subsequently slain by Sith warriors in the Battle of Koros Major.

December 12, 2009 – HoggonEdit

Hoggon was a Human male spacer of short stature who was fascinated with the Jedi Order and its history. In 3,986 BBY, he unwittingly helped war criminal and former Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma find a suitable world of exile—at first he suggested Yavin 4, but Qel-Droma chose to settle on Rhen Var. Immediately after delivering his client to his new home, Hoggon went to Exis Station, to witness the Jedi conclave that was taking place there. As he departed, he discovered that Vima Sunrider had been stowing away on his ship. The young girl, daughter of Jedi Master Nomi Sunrider, sought Qel-Droma's teachings, and when she showed a hologram of the man to Hoggon, he realized that it was the very same person he had taken to Rhen Var.

Delivering the young girl to Rhen Var, Hoggon then decided to inform the Jedi of Qel-Droma's location, hoping that he would be privy to a battle between them and the exile. At first he took his information to Nomi Sunrider, but then chose to inform the Jedi Cathar Sylvar, who was highly critical of Qel-Droma. Taking Sylvar to Rhen Var, Hoggon watched on as she battled the exile. However, Sylvar was unable to kill Qel-Droma, and, seeing his opportunity to enter the history books, Hoggon shot Qel-Droma instead. As Hoggon had hoped, his deed was in fact included in historical documents written thousands of years later.

December 13, 2009 – Darth AzardEdit

Darth Azard was a male Quarren Sith Lord of the One Sith, serving under Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt and his Empire. By 137 ABY, Azard had been selected to oversee the Imperial Outer Rim Third Fleet, which was tasked with capturing commander of the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet Gar Stazi. Azard executed Kel Dor Admiral Sha Dun, who was commanding the fleet, for failing in his objective, and replaced him with the Human Admiral Dru Valan.

In response to the Mon Calamari aiding Gar Stazi in the capture of the new Imperious-class Star Destroyer Imperious, Darth Krayt traveled to Dac with a number of Sith Lords, including Darth Azard, to exact his revenge. Azard participated in the massacre of the Mon Calamari Council, where he killed many of his fellow Quarren. In the aftermath of the massacre, Azard pursued the escaping members of Rogue Squadron who had been involved in the plan to capture the Imperious. The Rogues were being rescued by Imperial Knights Treis Sinde and Sigel Dare, who were on a mission for Emperor-in-exile Roan Fel. Azard dueled Master Treis Sinde, which distracted the Quarren long enough for the members of Rogue Squadron and Sigel Dare to escape.

Despite his failure to stop the Rogues' escape, Darth Azard was appointed to oversee the extermination of the Mon Calamari people. With the aid of Sith scientist Vul Isen, Azard awoke a Sea Leviathan in the depths of Dac. A semi-sentient bio-weapon created via Sith Alchemy, the Leviathan had been adapted to undersea use. Azard and Isen sent the Leviathan to exterminate the Mon Calamari refugees who were hiding and by doing so draw out the Mon Calamari Rangers led by Treis Sinde, who had been fighting against the Sith. Azard and Isen followed the Leviathan as it led the way to the base of the Mon Calamari Rangers. During the ensuing battle, the Sith's Aquatic Terrain Armored Transport was crippled when it was rammed by one of the Mon Calamari. Isen managed to avoid serious injury, but Azard was pinned to his chair. To Azard's surprise, Isen used the Quarren's lightsaber to free him, and the two swam toward the surface. The Leviathan was meanwhile defeated by hordes of devilsquid, under Treis Sinde's command.

December 14, 2009 – XJ-2 airspeederEdit

The XJ-2 airspeeder was a Narglatch AirTech customized vehicle owned by Bail Organa during his tenure as senator of the Alderaan sector, and Viceroy of Alderaan itself. After seeing fellow senator Simon Greyshade's XJ-6 airspeeder, Organa purchased the custom XJ-2, which sported a red and silver color scheme. The airspeeder became a hobby of Organa's, and he would tinker with it when he was not pressed to attend to senatorial duties. With the advent of the Clone Wars, Organa took the XJ-2 with him to Coruscant, where he found himself spending most of his time.

He registered the speeder under the alias of "Org Banelli," allowing him to operate without the attention of the authorities. Along with several other senators, Organa was considering ousting Supreme Chancellor Palpatine at the conclusion of the war, and he needed to be able to move covertly. When the war did conclude, Organa used the speeder to rescue Jedi Master Yoda from Palpatine's clutches. Returning to Alderaan, Organa found himself dedicated to forming the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and, as a result, the speeder gathered dust. He gave it to his adopted daughter, Princess Leia, and taught her piloting skills when she came of age. The speeder was eventually destroyed when the Death Star obliterated Alderaan, but a line based on the model was later put into production by Narglatch during the Galactic Civil War.

December 15, 2009 – First Duel in the Iron CitadelEdit

Of the two contests of strength that happened there, the First Duel in the Iron Citadel occurred earlier in the year 3,997 BBY, between the grief-stricken Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma, and Emperor Satal Keto, co-leader of the Krath and ruler of the Empress Teta system. The duel took place on the eponymous planet of Empress Teta, in the capital city of Cinnagar, on the balcony of the Krath's stronghold: the Iron Citadel. The duel commenced shortly after a weapons display by Ulic Qel-Droma who, as a secret agent of the Jedi, was attempting to infiltrate the dark side-following Krath cult from within.

While Qel-Droma was explaining to Tetan officials new technological upgrades he had made to their planetary defenses, he was interrupted by Satal Keto, who had just received word of a female Jedi captured in the streets of Cinnagar. Accusing Qel-Droma of being a spy, Keto had the woman brought before them; Qel-Droma immediately recognized her as his former lover, Nomi Sunrider, but unwilling to prematurely expose his deception to the Krath, Qel-Droma agreed to have her imprisoned pending execution. However, Qel-Droma had sent a secret message to Sunrider, explaining his need for more time to complete his mission. The message was never received by her; instead, it was intercepted by Satal Keto who, in the face of Qel-Droma's newly exposed treachery, ordered him to be assassinated at once. The attempt failed, but succeeded in enraging Qel-Droma, who set off immediately in search of Lord Keto.

Meanwhile, Sunrider managed to escape her holdings, and had also called her colleagues for an extraction in light of the deteriorating situation. Help came in the form of Qel-Droma's brother Cay, and the Twi'lek Jedi Tott Doneeta. They were preparing to depart without Qel-Droma, just as Lord Keto encountered them from a balcony of the Iron Citadel. To everyone's surprise, Qel-Droma also appeared on the balcony, confronting the Krath warlord and engaging in a duel. It ended with Satal Keto being struck down by Qel-Droma in a fit of rage. With his dying words, Keto expressed his satisfaction in knowing that his death had successfully driven Ulic Qel-Droma to the dark side of the Force.

December 16, 2009 – Pello ScrambasEdit

Pello Scrambas was a lieutenant in the service of the Royal House of Alderaan. Scrambas's father was Tash Scrambas, the captain of the Qel-Droma, who served Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth during the Alderaan Ascendancy Contention. On the last day of the Contention, the younger Scrambas joined the Alderaanian armed forces. Rising to the rank of sergeant, his peers believed that Alderaan would be insulated from the pan-galactic Clone Wars, but Scrambas knew better. He saw combat frequently in the conflict, as General Grievous made his move toward the Core Worlds. After serving in several tours of duty, Scrambas was transferred to Senator Bail Organa's personal guard.

Despite his new role as a guard, Scrambas still saw plenty of action during the remainder of the war, on planets as diverse as Metalorn, Qalydon, and Boz Pity. When the war came to a close in 19 BBY, Scrambas stayed on with Organa, having formed a close and personal friendship with the senator. Nearly twenty years later, Scrambas came to serve Organa's daughter, Princess Leia Organa, who had succeeded her father in the Imperial Senate and had ties to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. It was those ties that attracted the attention of Lord Darth Vader, whose forces boarded the Tantive IV in 0 BBY. During the boarding, Scrambas was wounded and captured by Imperial stormtroopers, and was killed shortly afterward, sacrificing himself for the daughter of his trusted friend.

December 17, 2009 – Battle of Iziz (Beast Wars)Edit

The Battle of Iziz, fought in the year 4,000 BBY, was the culmination of a centuries-long planetary conflict known as the Beast Wars of Onderon. The battle began after three Jedi Knights arrived on Onderon to oversee an attempt at a peaceful existence between the people of Onderon's lone city, Iziz, led by the Queen Amanoa, and the Beast Riders from the planet's wilderness. However, the Jedi's negotiations with Amanoa were suddenly halted when Beast Warrior Commandos raided the Iziz Royal Palace, during which time Princess Galia, Amanoa's daughter, was kidnapped. Upon orders from the queen to retrieve the princess, the Jedi successfully located Galia at the Beast Rider's jungle citadel, Fortress Kira, and discovered that she was in the process of marrying Oron Kira, son of Beast-Lord Modon Kira.

The Jedi learned during the reception that Amanoa ruled Iziz through the power of an ancient Dark Lord of the Sith named Freedon Nadd, and that the Beast Riders' refusal to submit to her will was what sparked the war. They convinced Galia and Kira to return with them to Iziz to present their marriage to Amanoa as an end to the conflict, but the queen rejected the proposal outright. In a gesture that shocked them all, Amanoa invoked the spirit of Nadd, while ordering her armies to engage the Beast Riders in war. Following Amanoa's refusal, Oron Kira contacted his army, which was the largest gathering of Beast Riders ever assembled, and commanded them to begin their attacks on Iziz.

Both sides suffered many casualties early on in the battle. The tide steadily turned in favor of the Beast Riders, who had managed to capture the city and surround the Royal Palace. However, Amanoa and the Naddists, city-dwelling worshipers of Freedon Nadd, employed the power of the dark side of the Force, for which the Beast Riders had no defense. Slowly, the direction of battle swayed, this time in favor of Amanoa and the city-dwellers. Not until the arrival of Jedi Master Arca Jeth, who exercised his mastery of Jedi battle meditation against the Naddists, was victory delivered into the hands of the Beast Riders. During the battle, Amanoa was killed, having been released from Nadd's influence and unable to withstand the potency of Jeth's light side power. With the death of her mother, Galia assumed the throne of Iziz, with Kira ruling at her side as king.

December 18, 2009 – Raskta LsuEdit

Raskta Lsu was an Echani female Jedi Master, and soldier in General Hoth's Army of Light. She was named after the legendary Echani Raskta Fenni, who was also regarded as the greatest warrior of her time. Because of this, Lsu aspired to equal and then surpass the renown of her namesake. Thus, her entire Jedi career was spent honing her martial skills exclusively, and with time her mastery of the lightsaber was such that many considered her peerless in its application. Lsu was so renowned for her battle skills that she was granted the vaunted title of Weapons Master of the Jedi Order. Lsu displayed her talents during the New Sith Wars, fighting in many battles against the Sith's Brotherhood of Darkness.

Ten years after the final campaign which ended the war on the planet Ruusan, Raskta Lsu was part of a team of Jedi selected by Lord Valenthyne Farfalla to embark on a mission to the fabled Jedi birth world of Tython, in attempt to eliminate the last two remaining Sith Lords in the galaxy, Darths Bane and Zannah. Upon arriving and landing on the Deep Core world, Farfalla's Jedi team engaged the Sith, and Lsu once again displayed her skill with the lightsaber. She fought valiantly, and was the only one of the five Jedi to match Bane's own power with the blade. However, she was undone by the wiles of Darth Zannah, who sneaked up behind Lsu and impaled her, thus ending the Jedi Master's life.

December 19, 2009 – YoxgitEdit

Yoxgit was an Ugnaught in the employ of Huttese crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure during the Galactic Civil War. Hailing from Bespin, he was an employee of A'roFilter on Cloud City, but he found the income to be paltry, and entered into a criminal trade with the Baragwin Hermi Odle, a weapons technician for Jabba. With his ill-gotten gains, he purchased an upper city apartment, new clothes, and a new vehicle, distancing himself from the working class. When, in 3 ABY, the Galactic Empire took over Cloud City, Yoxgit realized that he would no longer be able to enjoy his new lifestyle, and he chose to leave Bespin for Tatooine, Jabba's seat of power.

There, Odle hired him to maintain Jabba's security systems and observe the movements of the Baragwin's nemesis, Pote Snitkin. So proficient was the Ugnaught at his work that he found his way into Jabba's favor, and was invited to witness the execution of three prisoners at the Great Pit of Carkoon from the sail barge Khetanna. Unfortunately for Jabba and Yoxgit, the prisoners were able to escape, and turn the tables on the crime lord's guards. Chaos erupted at Carkoon, and Jabba was slain by Leia Organa, a friend of the prisoners. Yoxgit prepared to kill Organa, believing that by doing so was the only way he could keep himself in a manner to which he was accustomed, thus currying favor with Jabba's successor. He was foiled when one of the prisoners, Jedi Luke Skywalker, destroyed the Khetanna, killing the Ugnaught in the process.

December 20, 2009 – Mils GielEdit

Mils Giel was a lieutenant in the Imperial Navy. With relatives who had been serving Emperor Palpatine since 19 BBY, Giel became an admiral in the Navy, and personally oversaw the creation of the largest armada in Imperial history. He was called upon by Palpatine to transport a rare teezl—a giant life-form capable at transmitting electronic information at the speed of thought—to Imperial Center. While in transit, his flagship was attacked by Alliance pilots, and the teezl was destroyed.

For his failure, Giel was demoted to lieutenant by Supreme Commander Darth Vader, and was dispatched to investigate the abandoned Alliance base on Golrath. While there, he discovered that Golrath Station's curious crystal walls had somehow recorded the activities of the Rebels while at the base, but before he could demonstrate his findings to Vader, the station was destroyed by the Rebels themselves. Fleeing to Beheboth with his aide, Malka, Giel spent five years trying to transform the native Tirrith into a powerful bioweapon, with the aid of Malka and the Quarren scientist Kimp Minmirn. He succeeded, and created a considerable amount of carnage on Beheboth before departing the planet.

Slyther Bushforb was a male Nuknog private investigator who worked on Coruscant, the galactic capital. Originally from Sump, Bushforb left that planet's swamps behind in order to live on Coruscant and work as a detective. He became quite skilled at his craft, accumulating resources and contacts, such as Dexter Jettster and Rednax. In 22 BBY, he was interviewed, briefly, by HoloNet News, on the subject of the "Baby Ludi" custody battle that was enthralling the populace.

Two months later, he was hired by Vekka Lodik, agent of the actor Seboca, to discover the identity of someone who was trying to kill her charge. Taking to the case quickly, but not trusting Lodik at all, Bushforb followed a string of leads, helped by Jettster and a contact in the Bounty Hunters' Guild. His investigation eventually led him to a flat that Seboca owned under the name of "Manoca." Entering, he was confronted by Lodik, who had been planning to kill Seboca all along and frame Bushforb for the deed. The detective was not easily defeated though, and he was able to kill Lodik.

December 22, 2009 – MagaloofEdit

Magaloof was a male Leffingite from the planet Almak who journeyed to Coruscant to pursue a career in the line of theft. Stealing an airspeeder to get his break, he soon joined the gang of crime lord Hat Lo. While in Lo's company, however, he sought to fall in with more significant syndicates, such as Black Sun, or the Baath brothers. In time, he entered into what he thought was a partnership with the con man Achk Med-Beq. Together, they participated in several successful heists. However, Med-Beq and his partner Dannl Faytonni set up Magaloof while the Leffingite robbed a CoCo Town jewelry store of its flame gems.

Magaloof was conned out of his take on the job, and became disillusioned as a result. He went to jail for the offense, and thought upon his folly. After completing his three-year sentence, he returned to Almak to rethink his life. Magaloof had been eager to rise in the ranks of the underworld, and certainly hoped to make his mark amongst the criminals of the galaxy. He was ignorant of Med-Beq's con, and thought of him as a mentor, but, in retrospect, was disgusted by what had transpired, and had no qualms about dropping his intended lifestyle in favor of a more honest living.

December 23, 2009 – Nar HidaEdit

Nar Hida was a male Human hailing from the world of Luptoom. During the Separatist Crisis he traveled to the galactic capital of Coruscant with his wife and daughter, where he opened a boutique that specialized in Luptoomian fashion. Poor sales, however, forced Hida to close his store, and further dealings with local criminals left him and his family in a state of poverty. Hida intended to return to Luptoom, but the Separatist Crisis made leaving Coruscant particularly difficult.

He eventually found passage on the freighter Jendirian Valley, but he soon discovered that the freighter would only be traveling halfway to Luptoom. Fearing that he and his family would be left stranded without funds or transport, Hida attempted to rob one of the Jendirian Valley's passengers during the journey. He was stopped by the Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker, who was protecting Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo. The senator gave Hida credits and suggested that he contact the Refugee Relief Movement on her homeworld. With the movement's help, he and his family were able to return to Luptoom, where Hida reversed his fortunes.

December 24, 2009 – ARC-77Edit

ARC-77, known as Fordo, was an Advanced Recon Commando captain in the Grand Army of the Republic. In 22 BBY, he was assigned to a task force led by the Jedi Knight General Obi-Wan Kenobi, to take the Confederate-held world of Muunilinst. Together with a group of clone troopers that would later come to be known as The Muunilinst 10, Fordo proved instrumental in the Battle of Muunilinst, leading his troops to destroy an enemy artillery emplacement, and then helping Kenobi capture the enemy leader, San Hill.

Immediately after the battle was over, Fordo was dispatched to Hypori, where a group of Jedi Knights had been trapped by the Confederate general, Grievous. Making their way to the Jedi's location, Fordo and his men battled Grievous, but were unable to kill him. They were, however, able to recover three survivors: Ki-Adi-Mundi, Aayla Secura, and Shaak Ti. In 19 BBY, Fordo was on Coruscant when the planet was attacked by the Confederacy. Despite facing overwhelming numbers, Fordo and his men were able to beat back a portion of the attacking force with the help of the Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Yoda.

December 25, 2009 – Villian DanceEdit

Villian Dance, nicknamed Vil, was an Imperial TIE Fighter pilot who defected to the Rebel Alliance after becoming disillusioned with the Empire. A native of Corellia, Dance attended Imperial City Naval Base on Coruscant early in his career, where he trained under Vindoo Barvel, a hero of the Clone Wars who was considered the best pilot in the galaxy. At some point before 1 BBY, Dance was promoted to lieutenant commander and given control of Alpha Squad.

In 1 BBY, Dance and his squadron were moved to the Death Star, a battlestation being constructed above Despayre. Dance fought for the Empire in the Battle of Despayre, where he became a double ace after amassing ten kills. However, the ease with which he killed the enemy pilots disturbed him, as Dance felt that the battle had been a virtual slaughter. After the Destruction of Alderaan a short time later, Dance lost all faith in the Empire, and planned to desert along with his girlfriend Teela Kaarz and a small group of like-minded individuals. During the Battle of Yavin, the group commandeered a shuttle, hoping to escape from the Death Star. When the battlestation exploded mere seconds after they had left the hangar, they were free from the Empire. After proposing marriage to Kaarz, Dance and the survivors of his group joined the Rebellion on Yavin 4.

December 26, 2009 – Lobar AybockEdit

Lobar "Ion Fist" Aybock was a male Calian from Shiva IV. During the Galactic Civil War, Aybock was captured by Imperial forces during the bombing of his hometown of K'avor. Deemed unworthy to be a stormtrooper, Aybock was put into the service of Zygerian slavers. Shortly afterward, a Chevin by the name of Eedund Cus purchased Aybock's freedom and trained him in the art of shockboxing, hoping to make a successful investment after seeing the natural fighter in him. With the help of Cus, his trainer, and Stitchy, his medic, Aybock went on to become a champion shockboxer.

During the time of the New Republic, Aybock helped New Republic Intelligence overthrow the Reuss Corporation's hold on the populace of Reuss VIII by fighting in a deadly match against the Barabel Tull Raine.

December 27, 2009 – K-3POEdit

K-3PO, or Kay-Threepio, was a white, older model 3PO-series protocol droid originally owned by Alliance to Restore the Republic starfighter pilot Arhul Narra. Narra maintained detailed records of his service with the Alliance, which often included top-secret data that he kept only in shielded files, within K-3PO. As K-3PO accumulated thousands of files over the years, the military tactics contained within began to seep into his comprehension circuits. Consequently, K-3PO became a tactical expert, and so Narra refrained from performing a memory wipe on his droid, whose military value increased every day. After an off-hand remark K-3PO made to Narra during the Battle of Ton-Falk prior to the Battle of Yavin revealed a simple tactic the Alliance exploited to defeat a sizable Imperial force, K-3PO became one of the few droids "recognized" by Alliance High Command. K-3PO served as the coordinator of all droids in High Command at the Alliance headquarters on Yavin 4, Thila, and finally Hoth, where he was placed in charge of the Echo Base droid pool. Although K-3PO was destroyed during the Battle of Hoth, his salvaged memory would later serve Rogue Squadron through the unit's protocol droid, M-3PO.

December 28, 2009 – Halley KadortoEdit

Halley Kadorto was a veteran of the Clone Wars who became a famed pilot of the Alliance to Restore the Republic prior to the Battle of Yavin. He flew in several early missions, suffering from the mechanical problems experienced by early Rebel starfighters and narrowly escaping death on more than one occasion. Kadorto became famous due to his part in rescuing Mon Calamari slaves from the Empire over the planet Mon Calamari. The early arrival of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Warrior jeopardized the rescue, but Kadorto intercepted waves of TIE/sa bombers, launched from the Star Destroyer to kill the slaves rather than let them fall into enemy hands. He was later awarded a Kalidor Crescent for his actions. Kadorto retired shortly after his most famous mission, though he continued to be involved with the Alliance.

December 29, 2009 – Unidentified Alderaanian stormtrooperEdit

This stormtrooper from Alderaan was a soldier and TIE pilot in the Galactic Empire. Although originally a servant in the household of the Royal family of Alderaan, he left the world to become a trooper in the Imperial Military. The soldier found a sense of belonging in the Empire, something that he had not been able to discover on his home planet. Eventually, the soldier received word of the Destruction of Alderaan, a massacre carried out by the Empire with the use of the Death Star. Although the Imperials had obliterated his home planet, the soldier still stayed loyal to the Empire. He was still working as a stormtrooper a short time before the Battle of Endor when he was assigned to the planet Yinchorr, under the command of Imperial Governor Marcellin Wessel.

While serving under the governor, the soldier became involved in a plot to assassinate the Rebel leader, and fellow Alderaanian, Princess Leia Organa. Wessel lured Organa to Yinchorr on the pretense of a meeting with the native Yinchorri. When Organa arrived, her shuttle was shot down by the solder, but she survived. The soldier rescued Organa from the wreckage, intent on bringing her back to Wessel for interrogation. During the trek back to Imperial headquarters, the soldier revealed that he was from Alderaan, gaining Organa's contempt due to his continued service to the Empire. During their trip across the Yinchorr desert, Organa eventually swayed the soldier's resolve. After turning Organa over to Wessel, the soldier was shocked when the governor decided to immediately execute the Rebel leader. Changing his stance, the trooper freed Organa, and asked to join the Rebellion. As the two attempted to flee Yinchorr in the Millennium Falcon, however, the soldier was hit by blaster fire as he was about to climb the ship's boarding ramp. Organa tried to hold onto the man as the Falcon departed the planet, but he proved too heavy. The soldier slipped from the princess' fingers and fell to his death.

December 30, 2009 – BlastswordEdit

The blastsword was a melee weapon favored by the Adumari noblemen for use in their frequent honor duels. The weapon closely resembled a conventional sword, except for one significant difference. The end of the sword contained an energy outlet which, when turned on, emitted a blaster shot upon contact being made with the tip. This emitter also left glowing colored lines in the air where it traveled, an effect which was used for comic purposes by New Republic pilot Wes Janson, who took a fancy to the weapon while on a diplomatic mission to Adumar. The Adumari had several variants of the weapon, including a polearm version used by guards of the perator, or ruler, of the nation of Cartann. The weapons were considered fit for polite company, and Adumari duelists, such as Cheriss ke Hanadi, often wielded them single-handedly while holding a shorter knife or dagger in the off hand.

Adumari culture afforded a certain significance to the blastsword, and they were carried by nobility and commoners alike. Over the years, Adumari nobility developed a stylized form for use of the weapon, which included lowering the lethality of the blaster charge to only stun instead of kill, as well as make certain blows illegal for use, though some fighters ignored those rules. Successful competitive blastsword fighters could even make a living off of endorsements from manufacturers of blastswords, such as Ghephaenne Deeper-Craters Weaponmakers. Though most honor duels fought on Adumar were lethal before the Adumari Civil War, there was a growing trend toward nonlethal blastsword duels after the Adumar joined the New Republic. The blastsword eventually found its way offworld and became popular on several other worlds as well.

December 31, 2009 – Shannon VoorsonEdit

Shannon Voorson was a Human female who joined the Rebel Alliance at the age of nine. Born in 6 BBY to Kuat Freight Port officials Johan and Nell Voorson, she lived the first nine years of her life on Kuat. Her parents were supporters of the Galactic Empire, although Voorson felt nothing but strong disdain toward Emperor Palpatine for many of his actions, including destroying the planet Alderaan.

In 3 ABY, her older cousin, Deen Voorson, who had left Kuat years earlier to become a tech in the larger galaxy, returned to Kuat for a short visit. The two discussed their hatred for the Empire, and Deen admitted to his cousin that he had become a member of the Rebel Alliance. At dinner that night, Deen requested that his aunt and uncle allow him to pick up a Colony Class 23669 power generator for the Rebel Alliance. Voorson's parents refused to let Deen take the generator, afraid that they would face reprisal from the Empire. However, Voorson sympathized with her cousin, sliced into the Imperial database to change the pickup time for the generator, and then contacted Deen.

When the time arrived a few days later, Deen and fellow Rebel Boo Rawl picked up the generator. They also took Voorson with them, as she wanted to join the Rebellion and had sealed herself in the power generator's docking bay, meaning that the only way to get her out was to contact security, thereby revealing their theft, or let her join them. Although the trio faced unexpected trouble when Imperial forces discovered that their pickup was illegal and TIE/ln starfighters were dispatched to stop them, they escaped, and Voorson officially joined the Rebel Alliance.
