=Magir Paca= imp

Biography
Magir Paca was a Human male from the planet Garos IV. His father was good friends with Tork Winger, and when Paca began his governmental service, it was as an aide to Winger, who was serving as the Assistant Minister of Defense. For over ten years Paca served the government with Winger as his mentor. By 5 BBY, Paca held the post of Assistant Minister of Commerce. Unlike his mentor, who saw the Galactic Empire as a positive force in the galaxy, Paca despised the Empire and saw that it was a threat to Garos IV. He was one of the original leaders of the Garosian resistance, known as the Committee of Seven for Garosian Unification. The resistance worked to end the Garosian Civil War between the native Garosians and the Sundari colonists by convincing them that the Empire was the true enemy.

Paca, along with Desto Mayda and Sundari radical Camron Gelorik, convinced a young Dair Haslip to join the Imperial Army as a spy. Haslip, who had been enthusiastic about joining the Empire until seeing his friend&mdash;and Desto Mayda's son&mdash;Jos killed by Imperial scout troopers, agreed.

Biography
Dair Haslip was a Human male born on the planet Garos IV in 24 BBY. His family, including his parents, West and Nieka Haslip, were wealthy, and politically well-connected. Haslip's father was a well-known businessman and advocate for peace in the ongoing civil war that plagued Garos IV between the native Garosians and the Sundari colonists.

In 14 BBY, in the summer after Haslip's tenth birthday, he and his best friend, Jos Mayda, went climbing in the cliffs to the south of Mount Usca. During the climb, Haslip fell. Although uninjured, he was too scared to continue moving, and was gripping the rock face. Mayda talked Haslip into calming down and made him laugh, allowing him to continue climbing.

In 11 BBY, at the age of thirteen, Haslip lost both his parents. Sundar terrorists, opposed to the truce in the civil war that had been forged by then-Assistant Minister of Defense Tork Winger and Sundari engineer Tionthes Turi, used a bomb to assassinate West Haslip. Nieka Haslip was also killed in the blast, and Tork Winger was injured. Orphaned, Haslip was raised by his paternal grandmother, Keriin Haslip. Haslip was also close to Tork Winger, and his wife Sali, referring to them as "Uncle" and "Aunt".

In 5 BBY, at the completion of his education, Haslip applied to the Raithal Academy, hoping to join the ranks of the Imperial Army. He believed that Imperial influence was beneficial to Garos IV, and attending the Academy would be the culmination of a lifelong dream that he had shared with Mayda. Haslip and Mayda had dreamed of attending the Raithal Academy together, planning their future careers in their youth. However, Mayda's chance to attend the academy was shattered when his father Desto Mayda, was discovered to be a member of the Committee of Seven for Garosian Unification, an underground resistance movement opposed to the Imperial presence on Garos IV.

Shortly after the revelation, Haslip escorted his grandmother to a reception, and discussed his future with the Assistant Minister of Commerce, Magir Paca. Haslip was impressed that Paca remembered who he was after the two had briefly met a year previously; Paca noted that he knew the Haslip family well, offering his condolences for the loss of Haslip's parents. Paca was also friends with Keriin Haslip, who soon joined them in conversation. Paca was soon called away by an aide, Linsa, who informed him that Imperial Senior Lieutenant Brandei had arrived on planet, and was asking to see Tork Winger at the medical center in Ariana. Haslip was disappointed at Minister Winger's impending departure, as he had promised to tell Haslip about his own days at the Academy. It was shortlived, however, when Sali Winger joined them. The Wingers had been due to give the Haslips a lift home, and Sali informed them that the offer still stood, but it would be after their trip to the medical center and that the Haslips were welcome to accompany them. Haslip was excited at the prospect of meeting an actual Imperial officer.

At the medical center, Lieutenant Brandei showed the Haslips and Wingers a young girl. He claimed that she was the child of Rebels killed in a raid on Janara III. The captain of Brandei's vessel, the Judicator, had agreed to the lieutenant's proposition to foster her with his friends, the Wingers, as they were not able to conceive a child of their own. Haslip accompanied his grandmother and Sali Winger into the girl's hospital room where another Imperial lieutenant, Chanceller, sat with her. Chanceller had been the officer to find the girl, and informed the three that rebels had not been responsible for the raid. They had been looking for a Rebel stronghold near the girl's home, but Imperial forces had been responsible for the destruction. Haslip did not believe the lieutenant, but noticed that his grandmother did.

A few nights later, Mayda convinced Haslip to go hiking in the forested hills, although Haslip felt that they would get into trouble as Imperial scout troopers were patrolling the area. They talked about Mayda's father, and how his son felt betrayed. Haslip offered to talk to Minister Winger in an effort to allow his friend to attend the Academy, but Mayda refused. Noticing two scout troopers on speeder bikes, Mayda believed that they were searching for Lieutenant Chanceller, who had deserted the Imperial Navy, and wished to get a closer look. Instead, the pair were spotted by the scout troopers who circled around toward them. Haslip ran for nearby caves, but Mayda went off in the opposite direction into the forest. The two troopers caught up to Mayda, believing that he was spying on Imperial mining operations and attempted to take him back to their headquarters. Haslip, who had heard shooting in the distance, watched from the forest as Mayda resisted, tackling one trooper and disarming him, the blaster rifle coming to rest near Haslip. As Haslip picked the weapon up, Mayda began running, and was gunned down by the second trooper. Haslip killed the armed trooper, then pleaded with the unarmed trooper not to move as he did not want to kill an unarmed man. The trooper, however, dove for his colleague's fallen weapon. Haslip killed him.

Haslip confessed to his grandmother, not believing that Imperial soldiers would shoot unarmed men in the back and questioning if he would end up like them if he joined the Imperial Army. His grandmother understood, and revealed her own anti-Imperial feelings. She took Haslip to meet some of her friends; the Garosian resistance whose leadership including Magir Paca, Desto Mayda, and the Sundari radicalist Camron Gelorik. Haslip no longer wanted to serve the Empire, but the resistance convinced him to attend the Imperial Academy as an undercover operative. It would take years, but they believed that Haslip would be an invaluable asset to them. Once established, Haslip would request a transfer back to Garos IV and join their efforts. Over the next few months, Haslip prepared for his new role, and found time to enjoy weekly card games with the Wingers new adopted daughter, Alexandra. Eventually, as he was due to leave Garos IV, a party was held for him. Paca and Winger wished him well, and Alexandra questioned why he was leaving. Haslip told her that he was joining the Army; Alexandra replied that she did not believe him, but she wouldn't tell anyone.

Biography
Matt Turhaya was a Human male born on the planet Corellia. His father was Arada Turhaya, a hero of the Clone Wars who had been a commander in the Grand Army of the Republic, and he had a older brother, Jamie. During his youth, Turhaya's desire was to serve in the Imperial Navy. His childhood sweetheart, Anii Degarienne, encouraged him, leading him to attend the Imperial Naval Academy. Turhaya and Degarienne married, and in 11 BBY, the union produced a daughter, Alexandra. In 6 BBY, Turhaya graduated from the Academy at the top of his class. Several weeks before graduation, an accident occurred at the weapons manufacturing facility where Anii Degarienne worked, resulting in her death. Turhaya was devastated by her loss, but resolved to make a good life for himself and their daughter.

Turhaya took Alex to Janara III, leaving his daughter with her maternal grandparents in the city of Sreina. He then reported aboard the Star Destroyer Relentless to start his tour of duty. During his service, Turhaya quickly became disillusioned with the Galactic Empire, and despised its methods and actions. The Relentless was assigned to subdue planetary populations through the application of brutal force; appalled, Turhaya deserted. A year later, in 5 BBY, Turhaya arrived back at Janara III planning to begin a new life with Alex. When he arrived, he found that Sreina had been destroyed by Imperial forces commanded by High Inquisitor Adalric Cessius Brandl. Turhaya found no survivors of the raid; the house that Alex and her grandparents lived in had been levelled. Finding only a half-shredded burnt holo of his wife and daughter, Turhaya believed that Alex had been killed. Unbeknownst to him, Alex had survived the attack, and had been discovered in the rubble by Lieutenant Chanceller of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Judicator. She was subsequently taken to the planet Garos IV, where she was fostered with the planet's Imperial governor, Tork Winger and his wife, Sali.

Turhaya turned to drink, drifting from spaceport to spaceport taking a succession of odd jobs. Eventually, two years after losing Alex, he made his way to Tatooine where his brother Jamie had established a landspeeder repair shop. Jamie gave his younger brother a job in the shop, as Turhaya was a decent mechanic. In the six months after his arrival, Jamie attempted to help his brother overcome his sadness, but Turhaya spent many nights drunk in one of the local cantinas. A drunken Turhaya would often be collected by his elder brother, who tried to understand his loss and help him through it, but Turhaya found it too hard to move on and accept they were gone.

One night in the cantina, Turhaya encountered Tere Metallo, a female Riileb free-trader who captained the Star Quest. While no conversation was exchanged, the two locked gazes and Turhaya instantly felt a kinship with the female and knew that she had suffered as he had. The next day, Turhaya returned to the cantina to find Metallo immersed in a game of sabacc with a Twi'lek businessman, Cha'ba, a Chandrilan spice runner named Pira Bland, and a Corellian. The Corellian's Wookiee partner announced that their starship was ready for departure, and the Corellian left the game. Turhaya asked to join the game in progress, asking for drink from the bar while he did so. Metallo made sure that the drink was tea, insisting that she never took credits off of anyone who was drunk. During the course of the game, Turhaya wagered his brother's landspeeder repair shop against Metallo and lost. Taking Metallo to the shop, Turhaya faced his brother with the news. Jamie was angry, pointing out that Turhaya had no right to wager it. Fortunately for Jamie, Metallo overheard the conversation, and understood that Turhaya had no stake in the business. However, he still owed her 150,000 credits. It was agreed that he would work off the debt by conducting repairs on her ship, and acting as her co-pilot. As Turhaya prepared to leave, Jamie apologized to his brother for not being able to help him.

A month passed, and Metallo worked Turhaya hard, driving him to do various jobs around the ship and causing Turhaya to liken her to a drill instructor he had known. At their various port stops, Metallo gave Turhaya enough money for him to indulge in a drink or two, but no more. Eventually, the Star Quest put in at Eponte Spaceport on Kabaira. While waiting for cargo bound for Ord Traga to be loaded, Turhaya visited Drayhar's Cantina, partaking in a glass of Zadarian brandy. Metallo arrived soon after, and insisted that Turhaya meet several of her contacts on the planet. As Metallo did a lot of business on Kabaira, she felt it was important that Turhaya know them. She introduced him to Menise from Dantooine, Branak from Ryloth, and two Kabairans named Treimar and Del Hunter. After playing sabacc for several hours, Metallo and Turhaya prepared to leave when an Imperial lieutenant and two stormtroopers entered the bar. As the pair passed the Imperials, the lieutenant appeared to recognize Turhaya. Turhaya, who knew the man from his class at the Imperial Academy, claimed to be "Jamie Brightstar" and that the lieutenant was confusing him with someone else. The lieutenant apparently agreed, and let them go. As they headed back to the Star Quest, Turhaya admitted he was an Imperial deserter. Metallo simply responded that he would have to stay out sight in Imperial patrolled ports.

On their way back to the Star Quest, blaster fire and explosions rocked the city of Eponte as Imperial forces raided a suspected Rebel cell. Reaching their ship, Turhaya and Metallo were denied clearance to leave as the entire starport was in lockdown. Investigating a noise, the pair found a wounded Del Hunter beneath the Star Quest, and he admitted to being a Rebel agent. Metallo took him aboard the Star Quest, and hid him in a sealed compartment while stormtoopers demanded entry to the ship to search for Rebels. The lieutenant from the cantina was leading the search, and he had recognized Turhaya earlier. He placed the Corellian under arrest, and Metallo feigned ignorance of his status as an Imperial deserter. Turhaya attempted to punch the Imperial lieutenant; a blow from the butt of a stormtrooper's blaster rifle knocked him out.

Turhaya awoke in a detention cell in the Imperial headquarters with two survivors of the local Rebel cell; Chaz Hunter and Blaide. Blaide was more welcoming of Turhaya, but Chaz&mdash;Del's son&mdash;was wary of him, and suspected Turhaya was an Imperial plant. Shortly after, a female voice was heard from the security station claiming that she had been summoned to the prison on a medical emergency. Chaz, taking the cue, began to groan and moan. Accompanied by a stormtrooper sergeant, a young woman in an Imperial lieutenant's uniform was ushered into the cell. At the security station, two shots rang out, and the female lieutenant pulled a weapon on the stormtrooper. Metallo entered the cell, having secured the help of the local Rebels in freeing Turhaya through Del Hunter, and Chaz greeted the female lieutenant as Midget. Blaide killed the stormtrooper sergeant, and Chaz donned the armor.

Travelling aboard a skiff, Midget drove them to Docking Bay 10. Encountering an Imperial checkpoint on the way, the group tried to bluff their way through but were forced to open fire on the group of stormtroopers. On route to the docking bay, Blaide revealed that he was working for the Imperials and tried to kill Metallo. Turhaya jumped in front of the blast, taking a grazing injury. Metallo killed Blaide in turn. Arriving at the Star Quest, Chaz was reunited with his father, and Metallo and Turhaya took the three surviving Rebels offworld with them. Evading a flight of Z-95 Headhunters, the Star Quest made the jump to lightspeed.

=Tere Metallo= imp

Biography
Tere Metallo was a female Riileb born on the planet Riileb prior to 29.5 BBY. She was a member of the MotherClan, a family group that claimed to be direct descendants of the first Riileb. The MotherClan were the holders of the ClanRing, said to be crafted by the first Riileb, and the holder of the ClanRing was the leader of all Riileb. Traditionally, the eldest female of the MotherClan received the ClanRing after thirty local years, and Metallo was the next in line. However, one of her sisters was jealous of Metallo, and arranged for her to be sold into slavery when she was twenty-five local years old.

She was rescued from slavery by Bek Nataal, a Corellian smuggler. Nataal took Metallo under his wing as an assistant aboard his light freighter, and taught her everything he knew about starships, trade routes and smuggling. For seven years the pair worked together, with Metallo proving herself to be a loyal crew member who learned quickly, until they were boarded by Imperial authorities. During the inspection, Nataal was killed, and Metallo incarcerated. Metallo was tortured by the Empire, resulting in a three centimeter scar on her face, and was slated for imprisonment on Kessel. She managed to escape from captivity before she could be transferred.

Trading work for passage, Metallo eventually arrived on Corellia. She worked as a mechanic repairing freighters, and saved up enough credits to buy her own ship, the Suwantek Systems TL-1800 freighter Star Quest. Setting out on her own, Metallo made both legal and illegal cargo runs through the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim Territories over the course of several years. She avoided taking sides in the Galactic Civil War.
