General Quinn

Now that he is Supreme Leader, Kylo Ren has created a cabinet of top First Order military leaders to carry out his orders. This is a change from Snoke’s regime, in which most high-ranking officers knew little of the First Order’s capabilities and goals. Cooperation is new to these proud men and women, and many of High Command’s meetings aboard the Steadfast are marred by sniping and turf wars.

The First Order’s senior ground commander, Bellava Parnadee is focused on worlds resisting occupation by the regime, a duty that often takes her far from her regular post aboard the Steadfast. A member of the Supreme Council, she is careful to stay on the right side of mercurial Supreme Leader Kylo Ren.

The New Republic’s rise reduced the once-mighty Empire to a rump state hemmed in by strict disarmament treaties and punishing reparations. But in the galaxy’s Unknown Regions, former Imperial officers, nobles and technologists plotted a return to power, building fleets and armies in secret. This movement became the First Order, ruled by Supreme Leader Snoke, and is now ready to reclaim the Imperial legacy.

A veteran of the Imperial military, Allegiant General Pryde serves the First Order as part of a second wave of leadership kept in reserve by Supreme Leader Snoke during the unveiling of Starkiller Base. After Snoke’s death, Pryde serves the new Supreme Leader Kylo Ren in a position of privilege and power.

Young and ruthless, General Hux is a believer in technology, and eagerly awaits the day when the First Order’s innovations will help bring down the remnants of the New Republic and the Resistance – a victory he believes will also lead to his ruling the galaxy. His increasingly poisonous rivalry with Kylo Ren causes him to take a desperate gamble.

The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ben Solo was seduced by the dark side of the Force and renamed himself Kylo Ren: leader of the Knights of Ren, champion of the First Order, and apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke. Driven to destroy the past, Kylo killed his father and his master, supplanting Snoke as Supreme Leader. But he remained haunted by his father’s death, his connection with the mysterious Rey, and the pull of the good in himself. In time, all three would help Ben Solo return to the light.
