Tesar Sebatyne

Early life
Tesar Sebatyne, a male member of the reptilian Barabel species, was born on the dark, humid planet of Barab I. During the Imperial Period, Barab I was occupied by the Galactic Empire, who brutally oppressed the native Barabel population. By the time that the New Republic wrested control of the planet from the Empire, the years of callous treatment had left the Barabel species touchy and hostile towards galactic civilization. By this time, the Barabel species had gained an unsavory reputation as thugs, mercenaries, and soldiers-of-fortune. Into that situation stepped the Coruscanti Jedi Eelysa, who was engaged in a lengthy mission to the far corners of the galaxy, searching for species whose Force abilities had not been discovered or investigated. Upon visiting the planet, she recognized Tesar's mother, Saba Sebatyne, as a Force-sensitive and trained her in the ways of the Force.

Eelysa left Barab I after the Diversity Alliance, a militant group of aliens who believed in the extermination of the Human race, began fomenting rebellion against the New Republic. Saba continued Eelysa's work, however, and trained Sebatyne and his hatchmates, Bela and Krasov Hara in the Force. Saba also trained other Force-sensitives, including the Arcona Jedi Izal Waz, who fled the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 after becoming addicted to salt. Waz and Sebatyne became good friends. Saba became the leader of a squadron of Force-sensitive followers, including Sebatyne, the Haras, and Waz, called the Wild Knights. The group considered themselves Jedi, and this ragtag group flew missions across the galaxy in marginally maintained Y-wings, Howlrunners, and other fighters. During this time, Sebatyne's life was a restless one, as the Wild Knights changed the location of their central base often.

In the year 25 ABY, the galaxy was invaded by an extra-galactic species known as the Yuuzhan Vong, who had abandoned their own galaxy after a devastating war many thousands of years prior. The Yuuzhan Vong established an invasion corridor and cut a swath through the New Republic's defenses, subjugating, occupying, and in some cases destroying many planets. Due to the invasion, the Wild Knights began flying many missions against the Yuuzhan Vong, usually harassing Yuuzhan Vong supply convoys in remote areas of space. By 26 ABY, the Yuuzhan Vong had established sleeper cells on planets in the Core Worlds.

Protecting Eelysa
"This one will let you blast him later. For now, perhapz you fly the ship."

- Tesar Sebatyne to Han Solo

After the Battle of Duro, Master Eelysa was injured in battle with Yuuzhan Vong warriors on the planet Corellia, and was taken to a medcenter to be treated. When the Wild Knights learned of her injury, Sebatyne and Izal Waz were sent there to guard her. Coincidentally, former New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo was at the same hospital, recovering from injuries sustained during torture by the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the Solos came under attack, and after the firefight they decided to go to a different medcenter on Commenor. After the fight, the Solos saw Eelysa in a bacta tank and mistook her for their daughter, Jedi Knight Jaina Solo, and had her tank brought aboard their ship, the Millennium Falcon. After seeing their master taken aboard the ship, Izal Waz destroyed the transmitters on the Millennium Falcon, allowing Sebatyne and the Haras to sneak aboard. The two also searched the ship for homing beacons, finding one placed there by a dock officer and dismantling it. Waz then approached the Solos, who remembered him from his time as a student at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. The Solos allowed Waz to come aboard as their copilot as they went to Commenor, since Leia Organa Solo was not in well enough condition to help fly the ship. On their flight out, however, the ship came under attack by the Peace Brigade, a group collaborating with the Yuuzhan Vong. Sebatyne emerged from his place of hiding and removed Waz from the copilot's chair, initially shocking Han Solo. When Sebatyne told Solo that he was a Jedi Solo was hostile, stating that he knew he was not one since he had never seen him before. Sebatyne reassured him that he was a Jedi by mentioning that Eelysa was his master.

After taking some damage from the pirate ships, Sebatyne plotted a course for a rendezvous point close to Commenor, where they were to meet with Saba Sebatyne, who was going to bring a fresh shipment of bacta. However, before the Millennium Falcon could jump to hyperspace they were hailed by a Kuat Drive Yards Lancer-class frigate. The crew of the frigate claimed that they were going to board the Millennium Falcon, and capture them. In response, Han Solo feigned submission to the frigate, by lowering the Falcon's energy shields and powering down its ion drives. The ship was then taken hold of by the frigate's tractor beam, which began pulling the Falcon toward its docking bay. As they were being pulled in, Sebatyne took control of the Falcon 's laser cannons and fired quickly, destroying the frigate's tractor beam generator and its backup, allowing the Falcon to fly away. After the battle, they traveled to the rendezvous point. However, after waiting a full standard day Saba still hadn't shown up. By this time, the bacta in Eelysa's tank had begun to spoil, and they were in need of a new tank. Han Solo announced his intentions to take them to Talfaglio, a notion which upset Leia who believed that Eelysa would die in the time it took to fly to Talfaglio from their current location.

Soon, however, they were approached by a Damorian medium freighter registered to CorDuro Shipping, the Star Roamer. Tesar declared that the incoming freighter was where they were to get the bacta, although Han Solo protested that they couldn't buy bacta from CorDuro&mdash;Solo believed them to be collaborators with the Yuuzhan Vong, and possibly a front for the Peace Brigade. Solo was vindicated moments later, when the Millennium Falcon 's equipment picked up Yuuzhan Vong ships in the area. Upon seeing the Yuuzhan Vong craft, Tesar revealed that he knew that the vessel was coming; the Star Roamer was meant to give the crew of the Yuuzhan Vong ship the bacta, due to the fact that the extragalactic invaders were curious about bacta and its effects. Right on cue, the Star Roamer and the Yuuzhan Vong ships were attacked by the Wild Knights, led by Izal Waz's freighter Sureshot and the Jolly Man. During the battle, the Sureshot used its tractor beam to ensnare the Star Roamer, which responded by using its more powerful engine to drag the Sureshot towards a nearby white dwarf star. The captain of the Star Roamer gave the Sureshot a choice; release the tractor beam or be dragged into the sun. Tesar and the others aboard the Millennium Falcon found themselves with no other course of action; they would have to fly up to the Star Roamer, board it, eliminate the crew and save the Sureshot.

Han Solo flew the Millennium Falcon up to the Star Roamer where, Sebatyne opened an exterior hatch and was immediately set upon by two armed crewmembers. Sebatyne, Izal Waz, and the Haras quickly dispatched the pair, although he was grazed by a blaster bolt which singed his robe and burned his shoulder. The four moved through the Star Roamer, facing light resistance from the crewmembers. Others tried to flee in escape pods, however at that speed it would take them three years to reach the nearest habitable environment, and were already being drawn into the white dwarf star's gravity well. In the end they were able to take control of the ship with no casualties, and were able to get the bacta needed to save Eelysa. Following the battle, Sebatyne, Waz, the Haras, Eelysa, and the Solos proceeded to Coruscant, as to get Eelysa better medical care. In keeping with Barabel customs, Sebatyne and the Haras gave the Solos the carcasses of some of the Star Roamer crewmembers they had slain as an honor gift. Eelysa was able to fully recover from her injuries, and after the battle the Wild Knights were quick to change the site of their base. The new base was located on the Cinnabar Moon, and on their course there the Sureshot was made into a slave ship and used as a decoy for the Millennium Falcon, in case any more attackers tried to destroy the vessel. Indeed, a group of assassins employed by traitorous Senator Viqi Shesh obliterated the ship, mistaking it for the Millennium Falcon. After the destruction of the Sureshot, the Solos departed, and the Wild Knights returned to the base.
