*applauds*And Yang, please share the cringy cs. Also, I was going to use this as a secret plot twist, but I realized some people might be making plans for different characters, so I just wanted to throw this out there now. I do have plans for Satele and the Shan bloodline, and at some point I plan to bring in her son, Theron Shan. In this version, I will be playing him as a Force-sensitive and former Jedi Knight who fought during the Clone Wars. Early in the conflict, he was expelled from the Jedi Order after he discovered an ancient holocron that belonged to his ancestor, Darth Revan. The holocron contained teachings on balancing both the Light and Dark Side of the Force, and the Council deemed him lost when he refused to give up his studies into his ancestor.
While he was no longer a Jedi, his skills would still be of use to the Republic, so he joined the Strategic Information Service. Throughout the rest of the Clone Wars, he participated in a number of cover operations, becoming a renown SIS Agent. When Order 66 commenced and the Republic transitioned into the Galactic Empire, the SIS was rebranded as the Strategic Security Agency, one of several agencies under the umbrella of Imperial Intelligence. While Theron, his team and their leader, Director Marcus Trant were all against the reorganization of the Republic as a growing dictatorship, they opted to maintain loyalty to Palpatine as a cover and helped plant seeds of rebellion early on.
Over the next ten years, the SSA compiled secret caches of data on potential rebel hotspots, concealing key pieces of information from their superiors. The Imperial Security Bureau was charged with rooting out disloyalty within the Empire and directly handled matters of rebel activity, treason, and internal affairs, but they depended on information from the SSA for a majority of their operations. This allowed Trant and Theron to manipulate which missions were successful, and often used stealth and trickery to fake the deaths of suspected rebel sympathizers and ferry them to distant worlds in the Outer Rim.
About four years ago, Agent Alexsandr Kallus of the ISB became suspicious of Trant and Theron and launched an internal investigation into the SSA. This ultimately led the SSA to destroy any leftover traces of their data caches and defect from the Empire, fleeing into the Outer Rim, where they established Echo Base on the icy planet Hoth. Within the base, Theron began training Force-sensitives to balance all sides of the Force, following his ancestor Revan's beliefs that hiding from emotions only makes them easier to take control in moments of weakness. This was the foundation of the Revanite Order, and the Revanites within were essentially Grey Jedi. Theron felt this new Order would be a better fit to fight the Sith as the taint of the Dark Side would not be so compelling to the Revanites as they already had an intimate knowledge of it and had learned to control their emotions instead of hiding them away and then being overcome by them like so many fallen Jedi.
So, when we enter into open rebellion with our characters, we have the Revanite Order and military forces from Echo Base on Hoth; we will have Jedi General Rahm Kota and his militia; we'll have the support of House Organa on Alderaan, House Mothma on Chandrila, and House Bel Iblis on Corellia; we'll have mercenary forces hired, including the Zann Consortium and the Protectors, a group of Mandalorian warriors led by Fenn Rau who defected from the Empire.
