Kyle Katarn |
Kyle Katarn is a man who has seen all sides of the Force. He has served in the Special
Operations divisions 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. But while training at the Imperial
Academy, he was dealt a crushing blow: An Imperial notification led him to believe his father was
killed in a Rebel Ambush. Vowing revenge against the Alliance, Katarn joined 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 Jan Ors, he vowed to help the Alliance
fight against the Empire. His cuase to 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 a saboteur for the New Republic. Now, Kyle's ability to use the Force has weakened
to the point of non-existence. Along with Jan, Kyle now travels in the Raven's Claw, a powerful and fast light
carrier that replaces his old ship, the Moldy Crow. |
Jan Ors |
While working as a mole within the Imperial Intelligence Corps, the headstrong Jan Ors' cover was blown
and she was imprisoned. The Alliance hired Kyle Katarn to saver he. He risked his life and helped
her escape from the clutches of the Empire. Now they are inseparable allies; Ors recommended Katarn
to Mon Mothma for the Dark Forces missions. Their bond is known throughout the galaxy.
In fact, it is said that Jan is the only person that Kyle cares for more than himself. |
Luke Skywalker |
Raised on Tatooine by Owen and Beru Lars, Luke Skywalker is
the son of Anakin Skywalker. A hero in his own right, Skywalker established the
Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 after the fall of the Empire. He created the Academy to serve

cultural circles. He was a general in the Rebellion and befriended Luke Skywalker.

Admiral Galak Fyyar |
Once a trusted weapon scientist reporting directly to the Emperor, Chancellor
Galek Fyyar was given his honorary title for his dedicated servitude to the Empire.
Always mindful of not letting political turmoil interrupt his research, the collapse
of the Empire did little to change his experiments. His first attempt at melding the
Force and technology failed, but he is now hard at work on a new project to aid the Remnant's cause. |

with standard-issue blaster rifles, stormtroopers are fanaticallly loyal and fight in the face of overwhelming
odds. Squad leaders, recognized by a colored shoulder patch, carry the Golam Arms FC-1 weapon. |

surroundings. Similar in construction to the scout trooper, these soldiers are armed with the Golan Arms FC-1 or repeater gun. |
