The players change over time - and sometimes characters leave the stage.

Ali - Full name: Alileksee Voinye. Born to an upper class family on Zygerria, in the minority religion Pashrati, which explicitly rejects slavery and drinking. The Voinye family is invested in a number of areas, primarily medical supplies. Ali fought against the Slave Kingdom during the Clone Wars (but not with the Republic) under General Sartok, and lost several comrades in the conflict. Post-war he travelled the galaxy, before ending up on Rodia. He has a strong moral compass, driven by his religion, personal ideals, and experience in the Clone Wars. His family has a close relationship with Morko Mopopang, and refers to him as "Uncle Morko." || Player class is a level 8 Scout (ranger in SW5e terms). Serves as the party conscience. Has PTSD.

Sentinel - Full name: CT-7071 "Sentinel". A relatively young clonetrooper, he was deployed once the Clone Wars were well underway. He was deployed with Jedi Knight Rohnin and Padawan Zed. They found Rena, a human ex-slave taken from the Core Worlds by Zyggerian slavers - she met Sentinel at a waitress job close to the listening outpost where he was stationed. Before their relationsihp could develop into romance they were seperated by a Seperatist attack, forcing Rena to flee on the refugee ship Shriekhawk headed towards the Core Worlds. Late in the war, Sentinel was seperated from his unit and stranded for a time, missing the activation of Order 66. Eventually he obtained passage offworld, taking jobs across the Outer Rim while trying to make his way back to the Core Worlds - and Rena. Sentinel is levelheaded and cooperative with whoever he finds himself working with, whether it is freelancers, clonetrooper criminals, or an aspiring darksider|| Player class is a level 8 fighter. Uses a riot shield and unique Sith-Mandalorian armor obtained from an ancinet Sith tomb. Serves as the party's tank.

Gilles - NORMAL Human Medical student who dropped out because he got wrapped up with organized crime on Kuat. Involuntarily ran with a spice gang. Got free of the spice life only to sign up with the Sunstrider Crew. Now serves as the crew's medical officer, voice of sanity, and occaisonal punching bag. Looks like just a guy. || Player class is levle 8 Scholar. He's the human with a hat (we don't know what the symbol means).

Selkah - She was kidnapped as a child by Zygerrian slavers and sold to a Shistvanen owner of middling means. He later sold her to a human crime lord, who valued her for her beauty - while she was just a child. Her second owner subjected her to torture, until one day she discovered her connection to the Force. She killed a guard during her escape, taking an escape pod that dropped her on Rodia - and met the res of the crew. She has since developed a sadistic side, encouraged by a Sith holocron she stole from her old master's palace. || Player class is level 8 Consular, Dark Side.

Identity stolen by Ichta and placed under liability for hundreds of thousands of credits of debt.

Scuzzo Duzzo - An Anzellan recruited by Dirk at a small town bar on Felucia during the Krayt Fang crew’s business there. He is a silly little fellow, with a Malastarian accent, a cybernetic stomach to let him consume more food and liquids than his size should allow, a mechadendrite on the back of his head, and a habit of irresponsibility.
