Tyr Taskeen



Unlike many Rebel officers, Tyr Taskeen did not attend the Academy nor was he ever a member of the Imperial military machine. After earning an education on Alderaan, Taskeen left home to start his own business. He honed his piloting and negotiation skills as a freelance starship dealer, selling advanced vehicles to spaceports and wealthy individuals throughout the galaxy. His business grew quickly and he became a very wealthy man. Although he and his employees had occasional run-ins with the Hutts and pirates, Taskeen continued to profit until the Emperor's New Order took hold of the galaxy. The Empire nationalized Taskeen's company, taking control of his wealth and facilities. Many of his alien employees were also taken into slavery. Enraged, Taskeen returned to Alderaan and joined the nascent Rebellion. Using his knowledge of the Outer Rim, he led many early Rebels to safe havens far from the Core. He also secured supplies and vehicles from former contacts sympathetic to the Rebellion. In recognition of all he had done for the Rebellion, Taskeen was continually promoted, until finally attaining the rank of General. Even among the dedicated Rebels, Taskeen is considered exceptionally driven and passionate; he would do virtually anything to ensure that the Alliance topples the Empire.
