Tech stormtrooper

A specially-trained member of the First Order Security Bureau with a mysterious scar on her jaw, Agent Tierny hopes to restore peace to the galaxy through absolute order. A master of manipulation, Tierny's tactics more often involve lulling her targets into a false sense of security rather than using more aggressive forms of interrogation. Her arrival at the Colossus platform, as part of a First Order security takeover, ushers in sheer chaos when the platform is plunged deep into the waters of Castilon, leaving only Doza Tower above sea level.

A maroon and turquoise BB astromech unit, CB-23 serves as Poe Dameron's co-pilot while BB-8 keeps tabs on Kaz and his spying mission. At first considered stuck up and pushy, literally clashing with BB-8 when the two come together for a mission aboard a freighter, the two droids eventually come to an understanding.

With an ever-present scowl to match the rest of her severe demeanor, First Order flight instructor Lieutenant Galek has little patience for the antics of cadets who fail to follow basic orders. Known for her harsh tactics, on the training field she believes strongly in survival of the fittest, utilizing live fire instead of stun blasts to most effectively approximate real battle situations and doling out firm but fair punishments. In Galek's view, the First Order thrives by culling the weak so only the strongest survive.

An ominous figure in gleaming gold stormtrooper armor, Commander Pyre leads the tenacious First Order forces on a mission to find a pair of refugee children on the Colossus platform.

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.

The vast red planet Varkana is home to the Vargo Spaceport, a trading hub built into the otherwise unforgiving rocky terrain.
