Elani Drassnar, Jedi Instructor

Elani Drassnar is a Sephi born on Thustra 172 years BBY. Like almost all other Jedi she was taken from her family at a very young age and brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for her training. Already at a young age she showed a great deal of potential in the Force. Yet for all her interest in the Force, she took her first lightsaber lessons with disdain. Only the reminder of Master Yoda, that a balance in all things is the Jedi way, pushed her to persevere. As she grew older, she became the Padawan of Master Craig Dallin, a very aggressive Jedi. He admired his student’s dedication to peace and her compassion. He also noticed that like another Sephi Jedi, Fay, she had a great talent for telekinesis. Most of her training in her years of apprenticeship was physical in nature and she was pushed almost beyond her limits. It was also around that time that Elani started learning the Niman form of combat, the diplomat’s form, at the insistence of her Master, it was a form of combat that suited her well. Although she didn’t enjoy these parts of her training, her strong will got her through them and at 22 years old, passed the trials thus becoming a Knight. Only three years later she became a master herself by taking on her first Padawan. It was then she discovered her vocation, that of a teacher. After her first student became a Jedi Knight, the council, recognizing her dedication to instruction and her wisdom, sent her on the Rim to find prospective Jedi, train in the basics and then send them to Coruscant for further training. Of course, she took a Padawan at the same time and many became Knights under her tutelage. This lasted for 131 years, until the Clone Wars began. Elani was devastated to learn that all of her former students who went to save Obi-Wan Kenobi at Geonosis had perished. Even thought the she was not a good fighter, she received the commission of general, six months into the war. The council made it clear that it was her duty to accept, there were too few Jedi left for the leisure of choice. An ARC trooper, Tango, was assigned to her as a bodyguard. At first Tango resented this assignment, seeing Elani as weak. Yet after a few battles, she proved to be a competent general and while a poor fighter, her mastery of the Force, her keen intellect and her wisdom were all useful for the war effort. An odd friendship bloomed between Tango and her. For the rest of the Clone Wars, Elani fought on the Rim, the region she knew best. That was, until Order 66 came through. Luckily for her, commander Nelgo advised Tango of the order before moving against Elani. When they entered the tent it was empty save for a thermal detonator, commander Nelgo and his escort perished in the explosion. The students were not so lucky, when Tango and Elani arrived in the rear camp, they were all dead. The grieving Jedi took their weapons as a reminder of her failure. Soon after the fugitives left with the republic cruiser, Dawning Star, and its mechanic, Nien. Their flight didn’t go unnoticed, soon republic forces in orbit engaged the diplomatic ship, severely damaging it, but it nonetheless escaped. The next few months further battered the ship and it now looked like some salvaged wreck. Gone was its red pristine look, its hull plating was charred and vaguely repainted in some places, but all the equipment was functional. In these few months the multiple encounters with the now “Imperial” Navy forced the small crew to change the transponder many times. Yet Elani persisted in her quest to reunite the surviving Jedi. She missed the meeting at Kessel, which was for the better as she later learned. Every time she found a lead it either went cold very quickly or it was too late. This and the relentless Imperial pursuit dampened the hopes of the small crew, until a coded signal came through, there would be a meeting on Felucia.

BARC Speeder

An army is only as effective as its mobility, so the Grand Army of the Republic was outfitted with an increasingly varied and versatile vehicle pool as the Clone Wars progressed. The BARC speeder gave a single clone trooper increased operational range, great speed, mobility, and firepower otherwise unavailable to the foot soldier. A more aggressive and bulkier design than slimmer speeder bikes used by the Jedi, the BARC speeder was used in scouting and escort missions on a variety of worlds.

The BARC speeder was initially designed by the Aratech corporation for exclusive use by the ARC troopers, the elite special forces clones bred to be more deadly and independent than their standard infantry brothers. The vehicle proved so effective in reconnaissance and scouting missions that it was adopted by the rest of the Grand Army, though it still retained its original designation: Biker Advanced Recon Commando speeder.



Republic Assault Gunship

Rugged, combat-equipped repulsorcraft, Republic attack gunships rained down blistering barrages of laser and rocket retribution against the droid forces of the Separatists. Each winged gunship was covered in weapons, offering air-to-ground and air-to-air support as well as serving as an infantry transport.
The front of the gunship features hunchback-style cockpit bubbles, wherein the gunship pilot and copilot / gunner sit in single file. Chin-mounted on the craft are a pair of laser cannon turrets. On the gunship's dorsal surface are its primary armaments, two massive rocket launchers fed by a rear-mounted missile belts. The vessel's splayed wings have a pair of automated bubble-turrets, with composite-beam laser weaponry. A second pair of bubble-turret cannons extends on articulated arms from the troop cabin, and are gunner-operated by clone troopers encased within the armored spheres. Air-to-air rockets are slung on the ventral surface of each wing. Rounding out the gunship's armaments is a single tail-cannon that provides covering fire for troops and small vehicles leaving the gunship.

A larger variant of the gunship is specially designed to airdrop heavy cargo, such as the Republic's AT-TE combat walkers.

Lyesh Kor'Sit



Lyesh was a young jedi knight who fought during the last war. He and his master, Hatran Malkus, were to assault a droid outpost with the aid of a squad of clone trooper when Order 66 reached the troopers. Lyesh managed to escape loosing only his lightsaber in the process. His master though got severely wounded and died in the hands of Lyesh 2 days later. The young jedi then buried his late master and took his saber with him as a memento. He tried to get back ot the Temple but received the message that all jedi were to hide and never come back. And he did just that.

Several months had passed since then. Lyesh in order to survive managed to get inside a mercenary group. They were pretty much ex-soldiers that lost their job when the clones arrived. Lyesh worked with them pretty well, even made friends out of them, though he never did tell them nor showed them that he was a jedi. He learned to manipulate guns and such, also to conseal his force if ever he could be detected.

During his time in the mercenaries, he had to kill people, sometimes guilty of some crime, some times not. At first he refused to kill. But in the end, when his life was forfeit, when he had no choice, he killed. He was disgusted at what he had done, thought he tried to convince himself that he had done it in order to survive. And as the time passed, he began to stop thinking about it, to a point were it didn't affected him at all anymore. At that time, he could even could have forgotten that he had been a jedi once if it wasn't for the hidden lightsaber he kept in his sleeves.



Then something he was not prepared to happened. Lord Darth Vader, whom he somehow knew was the fallen jedi knight Anakin Skywalker, appeared before him. This was the only time Lyesh took out his master's lightsaber. He tried to fight but it has been so long since he fought like a jedi he soon realised he had no chance. So he pleaded for his life, and offered a life of servitude to the Sith Lord, which he surprisingly accepted. Maybe he wasn't out of luck just yet.

And so he got under Darth Vader's tutelage. He got trained once again in the art of fighting with a saber and in the ways of the force, but this time, in the dark side. At the end of his training, he was given the chance to build himself a new lightsaber which he took. A new lightsaber, as red as a crimson sun. The emperor never acknowledged him and so he never got a sith name however, nor has he ever been recognised as a sith. He was merely a pawn. But he didn't care, He might be just a pawn, but he was a pawn that lived.



Though the Sith take good care at brainwashing the one they take in their group, didn't even try to implant some Sith lore in him. Maybe it was because he was considered as a mere expandable soldier. So when his saber training was complete, Vader immidiatly sent him in a mission. He had to eliminate some rebel sympathizers, a good test of his abilities and loyalty. Lyesh also used that time to master his personal fighting style, using a saber in his right hand and a heavy blaster pistol his his left. Rarely did he used his saber to kill, more do distract his opponent for his blaster to catch him off guard. And he also had the chance to test the efficiency of his technique for during his mission, he encountered a non-expected character. A jedi was trying to hide with the people he had to eliminate. After a short fight, he concluded that his style was efficient for the jedi was lying on the ground, his chest burnt open by a blaster shot. He guessed no jedi thought that another jedi would use a blaster like this in a saber fight. He just hoped that it was no luck he killed this jedi.

Anzati

The Anzati race is a unique species in the galaxy as they do not exist in a similar fashion to other species. They are ancient, rumoured to be one of the first to ever roam the galaxy. With the average Anzati reaching 1.7m in height, they look almost exactly like humans, except they do not have a biological rhythm. They live off the life essence of other sentient beings, this is also referred to as Soup or Luck.

It is believed that Anzati are one of the oldest species, one of the original, yet because of their reclusive mannerisms and desire of the essence much has contributed to the myth of the Anzati. According to most reports, because Anzati are loners, it has thus contributed to the false impressions that they are vampires.

They access the essence through prehensile proboscises they keep coiled in pockets in each of their cheeks. They are predators who mesmerize victims through a telepathic mind control, which gets stronger the closer they are. Habitually the Anzati stalk their prey and corner them. The extraction of soup begins when they uncoil the proboscises, insert them through the victim's nostrils and then attach to the brain. Some Anzati are known to keep their prey alive for future feedings. The need for this is believed to related to the fact Anzat cannot sustain life.

This drive to fill the void for soup is something that consumes the Anzati way of life. Some Anzati regard other species as cattle and a meal, while others try to control their needs.

They do not reproduce often and their parents do not name their offspring. Anzati often adapt human names to blend in with their surroundings. Youthful Anzati reach puberty at approximately one hundred years of age and leave Anzat to hunt for soup. This soup gives the Anzati race a perceived form of immortality, seemingly never succumbing to old age, able to sustain life for over a thousand years with little resemblance of aging. However, as the Anzat ages, the urge for soup grows, often resulting in isolation from their peers, self-destruction and increased feedings.

Armor and Blade of Granx

Born many millenia before the foundation of the jedi, Granx was part of a very peculiar clan of the Mandalorians, a clan of Kracht (force) users.

They as all Mandalorians believed in the beauty of war , conquest and honour, but they also believed in the atonement of ones spirit, so they founded monastaries on a few planets around the galaxie where Force users where free to go and medidate... These places where built with force resistant material so that the hunters would not be able to track the Force users meditating within and only the Clan knew the secrets that allowed one to percieve through the material..

Now everytime one of these buildings was built, one of the Clan, one of the best figthers and Force users, was selected to be put to sleep deep within the sanctuary where he would be hidden until the time where he would awaken through some assault upon the structure, the presence of certain evil. Granx was one of those, he was chosen to protect the monastarie on Felucia. When he was put in the cryo unit, he had to leave much behind, his life was a good one, he had a beautifull wife, and a young daugther whom he loved terribly. But the call of his clan was beyond his personal feelings, he had no choice but to answer. So he went into a semi sleep for many millenia until he felt death in his sanctuary.
