Kyle Katarn

Kyle Katarn is a man who has seen all sides of the Force. He has served in the special operations division of the Imperial Army, as a Rebel Alliance agent, and also as a Jedi Knight. Born on Sulon, the moon of Sullust, Kyle came from farmer stock and had a close-knit family. But while training at the Imperial Academy, he was dealt a crushing blow: An Imperial notification tricked him into believing his parents were killed in a Rebel Ambush.

Vowing for revenge against the Alliance, Katarn joined the special ops division of the Imperial Army; however, he soon learned the true face of the Empire and his hatred grew for its underhanded ways. Katarn ended his Imperial service when he elected to help Jan Ors escape from their clutches.

Freed from his Imperial post, Katarn turned into a mercenary-for-hire. Along with Ors he vowed to help the Alliance fight against the Empire.

His cause took on a greater importance when he learned of the true fate of his father, who was killed by a Dark Jedi named Jerec. This revelation led Kyle on a journey to the hidden Valley of the Jedi, where he learned of his powerful Jedi destiny. Kyle grappled with the rigid duality of the force and nearly fell to its dark side.

Suspicious of the Force's true power, Kyle decided to give up the Force in order to protect himself and others from its Dark Side. He turned over his lightsaber to Luke Skywalker and returned to his old post as a spy and saboteur for the New Republic. Now, Kyle's ability to use the force has weakened to the point of non-existence. Kyle now travels in the Raven's Claw, a powerful and fast light carrier that replaces his old ship, the Moldy Crow.

Jan Ors

A native of the planet Alderaan, Jan Ors served as an Alliance operative during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Jan first met Kyle Katarn when he was still in training at the Imperial Military Academy. Katarn actually led an Imperial raid on a Rebel base where Jan was stationed, and although the Empire took control of the outpost, Kyle spared Jan's life during the operation. Later, aboard the luxury liner Star of Empire, Jan met Kyle again as he was on his way to his first military posting.

Jan revealed that Kyle's father had been murdered by the Empire, and not by Rebel agents as Kyle had been told. The two cultivated a relationship and Kyle offered to join the Rebellion against the Empire. Jan met with Mon Mothma and persuaded the Alliance leader to hire Kyle Katarn as a mercenary and commando, and Kyle and Jan have worked as partners ever since. An incredible pilot, Jan has become one of the few people Kyle trusts and perhaps the only person in the galaxy he cares for

more than himself.

Luke Skywalker

Raised on Tatooine by Owen and Beru Lars, Luke Skywalker is the son of Anakin Skywalker, the infamous Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader. He is also the last of the Jedi Knights taught in the tradition of the Old Republic, having learned from both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Yoda. Luke proved to be a pivotal player for the Rebel Alliance in their war against the Empire by destroying the first Death Star.

After the New Republic struggled in vain for more than a decade to consolidate their political hold on the galaxy, Luke went before the Chief of State Mon Mothma to ask her permission to bring back the Jedi Order. With the support of the New Republic, Luke established his Jedi Academy in the abandoned Rebel base on Yavin 4. Through this process of creating a new order of Jedi Knights, Luke hoped to create a learning center to reform the Jedi way and help bring peace to the galaxy. Sensing the power and goodness in Kyle Katarn, Luke has never given up on his hope of seeing Katarn embrace the light side of the Force and fulfill his training at the Academy.

Mon Mothma

Once a Senior Senator in the Old Republic, Mon Mothma joined with Senators Bail Organa and Garm Bel Iblis to draft the Declaration of Rebellion against the Empire once Palpatine took control of the Old Republic. After the death of Organa and a fallout with Bel Iblis, Mon Mothma found herself the Rebel Alliance's central leader through the Galactic Civil War. During this time she took a chance on a former Imperial Academy graduate, Kyle Katarn, who later turned out to be one of the Rebel Alliance's greatest assets during their struggle with the Empire.

After the fall of the Empire, Mon Mothma was chosen to serve as the Chief of State for the newly created New Republic government. She served valiantly in the difficult first years of the New Republic, through assassination attempts, uprisings from the Imperial Remnant, and even the rebirth of the Emperor. Later, Mon Mothma stepped down and presented the title of Chief of State to Leia Organa Solo. Mon Mothma still remains heavily involved in government, working closely with New Republic Intelligence to help maintain peace and keep tabs on the movements of the Imperial Remnant. Another side bonus to her work with the NRI is that she continues to interact with her "favorite" agent, Kyle Katarn.

Jedi Trainer

The earliest Force-adept pupils that Luke Skywalker enrolled in the Jedi Academy, the Jedi Trainers now instruct the quickly expanding number of students. Through necessity not all of the Jedi Trainers are full-fledged Jedi Knights, but Skywalker and other leading members of the Jedi Academy carefully oversee all aspects of the young pupils and the trainers.

Rebel

Rebel is the derogatory term that the Imperials used during the Galactic Civil War to describe anyone who supported the Alliance to Restore the Republic. These "rebels" were ordinary people who came from all walks of life to join the Rebellion against the Empire. Training and operating in secrecy, the Rebels worked for years to overthrow Emperor Palpatine's Imperial Order. The Rebellion eventually succeeded in their goals with a decisive victory at the battle of Endor, which paved the way for the formation of the New Republic.

Bespin Security Guard

Officially known as the Cloud City Wing Guard, these troopers not only police the streets of Cloud City, but they also serve many other official capacities: firemen, customs agents, meteorologists, and bomb disarmers. In the past the Wing Guard served corrupt, totalitarian leaders of Cloud City, but Lando Calrissian changed all that when he became baron-administrator. After he left Cloud City to join the Rebel Alliance, the Wing Guard continued to serve the best interests of people of Cloud City for the most part. Small pockets of corruption have invaded their ranks in recent years, caused by the overflow of criminal activity in the lower levels of Cloud City.

Stormtrooper

Clad in white, the storm troopers made up the bulk of the Emperor's armed forces. Armed with Imperial blasters, the storm troopers were highly dedicated to the Emperor and the pursuit of his goals. Faithful to the last, stormtroopers could not be bribed or blackmailed and would fight in the face of overwhelming odds. The "Grunt" stormtrooper carries a standard E-11 Blaster while "Officers" (delineated by a colored shoulder patch) carry the Golan Arms FC-1.

Swamp Trooper

Similar in look to scout troopers, the swamp troopers are green in color to blend into the swampy surroundings. Swamp Troopers are armed with the Golan Arms FC-1.

Imperial Worker

Wearing radiation suits to protect themselves from the various dangers of their jobs, the Imperial workers keep the Remnant functioning in its day-to-day operations. From fixing machinery to building equipment, the workers are highly skilled in their personal duties.

Imperial Officer

Clad in the formal uniform of the Empire they once proudly served, these dedicated and dangerous enemies still command legions of Remnant forces. They are usually armed with the standard issue blaster pistol and fire them with precision.

Galak Fyyar

During the height of the Galactic Empire, Admiral Galak Fyyar was a trusted weapon scientist who reported directly to the Emperor. Fyyar left his laboratory in the Maw Installation just before the end of the Galactic Civil War to work in secret at various locations across the galaxy. Later he was given command of the Cairn Installation, and Fyyar thought that he was invincible in his power. With the death of the Emperor and the imminent destruction of the Empire, Fyyar has proved his worth to the Remnant forces by developing new technological improvements in both weaponry and armor.

Reborn

These dark disciples are pawns in the Remnants bid to amass an army of Force imbued dark acolytes. The Reborn are an unstoppable force; an evil instrument to bring back the ideals of the Emperor, the ways of the Sith and the Empire itself. In battle, the Reborn employ Force powers, lightsabers, and personal shielding.

Reelo Baruk

Reelo Baruk is an obese Rodian known for the powerful crime syndicate he controls on Nar Shaddaa. Most people, however, just see Reelo as the legit owner of a garbage hauling company, since he goes to such great lengths to keep his criminal activity under the radar. Reelo's gang is made up of a mix of aliens found throughout the galaxy, some of the worst scum in the known regions.

Rodian

This bipedal alien species with tapir-like faces and multifaceted eyes is native to the planet Rodia in the Tyrius system. The skin of a Rodian is bumpy in texture and green in color. Rodians have ears that swivel in their sockets, allowing them to hear in several directions. As a species, Rodians are hunters and warriors by nature, and bounty hunting holds a place of high esteem within their culture. Rodians are armed with the Tenloss DXR-6 Disruptor rifle and are adept snipers.

Gran

Gran are adept at tossing thermal detonators and also engage in melee attacks. Their three eyes help to locate their target and throw with devastating accuracy.

Trandoshan

Large and imposing, these bipedal lizards have long arms and a vicious mentality. Armed with the Imperial Heavy Repeater with Concussion Launcher, the Trandoshans enjoy the explosive power of the concussion grenade. Famous for their hatred of Wookiees, who they enslaved during the rule of the Empire, the Trandoshans are some of the best hunters in the galaxy.

Weequay

The Weequay attack with blaster attacks. Some Weequay carry bowcasters to show their strength and ferocity.

Ugnaught

These short and stocky humanoid aliens form the majority of the working class in Cloud City. Ugnaughts work in the Tibanna gas-processing plants, the carbon-freezing chambers, and the repulsorlift engine rooms. The Ugnaughts are a loyal and hard-working species whose society revolves around tightly knit family units. Many Ugnaught families work together for generations.
