Cassian Andor has spent much of his life watching as the Empire lay waste to the galaxy. As part of his entry into the growing rebellion, he will undertake a dangerous mission to Aldhani and ultimately become an accomplished Alliance Intelligence officer, commanding respect from his rebel troops with his ability to keep a cool head under fire.

Methodical, polished, and ambitious, Dedra Meero embodies the ideals of the Imperial Security Bureau. She is ever vigilant, collecting and analyzing intelligence from across the galaxy to identify possible signs of disorder. Her ingenuity serves her well, climbing the ranks by piecing together a clear picture of rebel activity from disparate parts.

The planet Scarif would be a beautiful tropical paradise if not for the presence of a major Imperial military installation. Scarif is the principal construction facility for the vast Imperial war machine. The world is enveloped in impenetrable deflector shields and is heavily defended.

The Imperial Security Bureau operates in the shadows, a secret task force activated to ensure order after the formation of the Empire. Represented by officers like Supervisor Dedra Meero and Agent Alexsandr Kallus, the ISB surreptitiously investigates rebel activities found throughout the galaxy to quash the first hint of insurrection.

During the height of the Empire, coastal defense stormtroopers—or shoretroopers—would patrol the beaches and bunkers of the Imperial military headquarters on Scarif. Now, with the Empire in decline, they find themselves assigned to less glorious postings.

The harsh reality of his Imperial-occupied home world has hardened Baze Malbus into a pragmatic soldier and a crack shot with his heavy repeater cannon. Baze has a bravado that provides a marked contrast to the spiritual centeredness of his best friend and moral compass, Chirrut Îmwe.
