Zander Freemaker

Zander Freemaker was a member of the Freemakers, a family of scavengers who traveled throughout the galaxy. Zander was the older brother of Kordi Freemaker and Rowan Freemaker. He was a racing enthusiast and skilled mechanic.

Background
Zander Freemaker was a male Human who lived during the Galactic Civil War. He was the eldest member of the Freemakers, a family of scavengers that included his sister Kordi, his younger brother Rowan, and the modified B1 battle droid Roger. They owned a starship called the StarScavenger which was used in salvage operations. The Freemakers also operated from a garage at a space station called The Wheel. Zander was also a skilled mechanic and enjoyed repairing and building starships for a living.

Salvage run on Nal Kapok
Following the Battle of Hoth, Zander and his family were scavenging wreckage that had been left over from a space battle between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. While salvaging for supplies, Rowan accidentally destroyed an MC80 star cruiser. This led Zander and Kordi to shun him until they returned to the Freemaker Garage. After dealing with their Aqualish landlord Furlac who was demanding that they pay up their rent, Zander and the other Freemakers traveled to the jungle world of Nal Kapok. Nal Kapok had been a battleground during the Clone Wars and was still littered with wreckage. While Zander and Kordi explored the planet, Rowan and Roger stayed behind on the StarScavenger. While attempting to take an engine from an Imperial transport, Zander and his sister were captured by Imperial stormtroopers. Zander tried to convince the stormtroopers that it was a mistake but the Imperials insisted on sending them to the spice mines of Kessel.

At that point, they were rescued by Rowan who had activated a vintage AT-TE walker. The AT-TE soon broke down and the Imperials counter-attacked. However, a Jedi woman named Naare came to their rescue and drove off the stormtroopers with her blue lightsaber. Having befriended Rowan and Roger by telling them about her quest to find the Kyber Saber, Naare ingratiated herself with the Freemakers. Zander was smitten by her and the Freemakers allowed her to accompany them back to the Wheel. Naare then managed to convince Kordi to let her train Rowan in the ways of the Force. Unknown to the Freemakers, Naare was actually a Sith agent in the services of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, who had been tasked with recovering the pieces of the Kyber Saber.

Rescuing Rowan Freemaker
After the events on Nal Kapok, Naare convinced Zander's younger brother Rowan to embark on a quest to find the second Kyber Saber crystal in the Balgaroth asteroid field. Following an argument between Naare and Kordi, Rowan and Roger borrowed the StarScavenger and traveled to the asteroid field on their own to find the crystal. After learning that Rowan had taken the StarScavenger, Zander, Kordi, and Naare traveled to the Balgaroth asteroid field to find Rowan. Zander and Kordi traveled on their Z-wing while Naare traveled in her own Eclipse Fighter.

Meanwhile, Rowan and Roger found the second Kyber Saber crystal but were captured by the Hutt crime lord Graballa, who wanted to use the crystals to bankroll his beachside resort. Zander, Kordi, and Naare arrived on Graballa's starship Rancor's Fist just as the Hutt was about to feed Rowan and Roger to his pet nexu Smiley. With Kordi taking the lead, Zander and his sister tried to sell their Z-wing to Graballa while Naare freed the captives. However, Graballa rejected their offer and spotted Rowan, Roger, and Naare sneaking away.

Following a brief struggle, the Freemakers and Naare fled into space aboard the Z-wing. They fled into the Balgaroth asteroid field but were pursued by starfighters led by Dengar, Graballa's leading bounty hunter. Naare managed to use the Force to clear a path through the asteroid field and to destroy most of their pursuers. Naare's actions gained the trust of the Freemakers with Zander admitting feelings for the "Jedi."

Once aboard the StarScavenger, Rowan apologized to his older siblings for stealing the StarScavenger and causing them trouble. While Zander was annoyed, he was able to forgive his little brother. Shortly later, Rowan sensed the presence of the second Kyber Saber crystals. The Freemakers found the crystal floating in space and retrieved it. Zander was present when Naare praised Rowan for finding the kyber crystal; unaware that she had almost destroyed the StarScavenger in a fit of rage.

Joyride on the N-1 starfighter
Later, the Freemakers received a job from fellow Wheel resident Wick Cooper to service an antique N-1 starfighter. Knowing that Zander was a starship aficinado who could not control his impulses, Kordi instructed Rowan to distract Zander while Roger brought in the N-1 starfighter into the garage. Despite Rowan's best efforts, Zander was still able to smell the N-1 starfighter's chromium. While Kordi and Rowan were dealing with Cooper, Zander took the opportunity to take the starfghter out for a joyride.

Zander flee the N-1 starfighter through an asteroid field. Despite taking a few scratches, he ignored Cooper's astromech droid's plea to return to the hangar. He took the ship for another loop and was caught up in a dogfight between rebel A-wings and Imperial TIE fighters. Zander was then trapped by the Tractor beam projector of the Imperial Star Destroyer Vendetta and charged with subversive acts against the Empire. Zander was promptly arrested but managed to contact his siblings via hologram before being led away by stormtroopers.

Zander was questioned by Darth Vader who brought an interrogation droid. When Vader demanded information on the Rebellion, Zander instead took the opportunity to spill out irrelevant details of his life; leading Vader to deduce that he was either skilled at resisting interrogation or a complete imbecile. While Vader was distracted elsewhere, Zander's siblings and Naare managed to infiltrate the Vendetta and free Zander from his cell. The Freemakers and Naare then headed to the hangar only to be intercepted by Darth Vader and his stormtroopers.

After failing to convince Vader that they were ship repair crew, Zander told Vader about his joyride on the N-1 starfighter. While initially disbelieving, Vader lost control when he saw the N-1 starfighter and took it for a joyride. The starfighter was pursued and damaged by several TIE fighters before Naare used the tractor beam projector to recapture the fighter. While Vader and his stormtroopers were distracted, Zander, his siblings, and Naare returned to The Wheel on their ships including the N-1 starfighter. Upon arriving back at the Freemaker Garage, they were greeted by a furious Wick Cooper, who expressed outrage at the major damage done to his N-1 starfighter. With the starship wrecked, Zander was forced by Kordi to give Cooper his beloved Blazemaker starfighter as compensation. However, the Blazemaker exploded and Zander remarked that he would adjustments for the Blazemaker Mark II.

Adventure on Cloud City
After seeing his younger brother Rowan express frustration about his "Jedi" lessons, Zander took his younger brother to the Wheel's Lower Ring in an effort to cheer him up. While Zander was watching a podrace, Rowan volunteered his services to the rebel and former entrepreneur Lando Calrissian, who wanted to reclaim a "lost treasure" that he had left behind on Cloud City. Zander and Kordi were annoyed that their younger brother had accepted a job without consulting them first. However, they decided to take it up because they were short on money.

Upon arriving at Cloud City, the Freemakers disguise themselves as mechanics and managed to gain admission to the Carbon-freeze chamber. While Kordi headed to Calrissian's disco pad to recover his "lost treasure", Zander and Rowan headed into he carbon-freeze chamber. There, Rowan managed to repair a tube by reconnecting it with the Force. In the process, Rowan was accidentally frozen in carbonite. Shortly later, they were rejoined by Kordi, Naare, and several of Graballa's henchmen including Dengar, Baash and Raam. A skirmish broke out and Dengar and his associates stole Rowan's frozen body.

Unable to keep up with the gangsters, Zander, Kordi and Naare headed into the engine room. There, Zander used Naare's lightsaber to severe the cable connecting Cloud City's repulsorlift generator. This prevented Graballa's henchmen from escaping but cause the city to fall into the depths of Bespin. Amidst the chaos, the Freemakers managed to recover Rowan and Calrissian's treasure. After trapping Dengar and his associates in a cell, the Freemakers defrosted Rowan. Despite his hibernation sickness, Rowan managed to reconnect the cable in Cloud City's engine room; restoring the city to its floating position. Zander and his siblings then returned to the Freemaker Garage where they handed Calrissian his "lost treasure", which turned out to be a blue cape. In return, Calrissian paid them several gold bars.
