Rodor Keen

"But I thought I would be working with you?"
"Don't worry, you'll be sick of the sight of me soon enough."

―Velko Jahen and Rodor Keen^[1]

Rodor Keen was a human male who served as the Galactic Republic head of operations aboard the Starlight Beacon space station. He worked alongside Jedi Master Estala Maru, though the two's similarly hands-on natures led to tension between them. Administrator Velko Jahen was posted as Keen's aide, arriving on the station in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace Disaster and the Emergences.^[1]
