    C-3PO (See-Threepio)

    C-3PO longs for more peaceful times, but his continued service to the Resistance — and his knowledge of more than seven million forms of communication — keeps the worry-prone droid in the frontlines of galactic conflict. Programmed for etiquette and protocol, Threepio was built by a young Anakin Skywalker, and has been a constant companion to astromech R2-D2. Over the years, he was involved in some of the galaxy’s most defining moments and thrilling battles. Since the Empire’s defeat, C-3PO has served Leia Organa, head of a Resistance spy ring aimed at undermining the First Order.

    R2-D2

    A reliable and versatile astromech droid, R2-D2 has served Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, and Luke Skywalker in turn, showing great bravery in rescuing his masters and their friends from many perils. A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant, he has an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol droid C-3PO.

  • Clone Commander Wolffe

    default

    Clone Commander Wolffe

    Clone Commander Wolffe (clone designation CC-3636) once served under General Plo Koon in the Clone Wars, as commander of the tight-knit unit known as the Wolf Pack. A seasoned and battered combatant, over the three years of the conflict Wolffe witnessed some of the worst the war had to offer. Early in the Clone Wars, he lost his entire command when Master Plo's flagship, Triumphant, was destroyed by the cyborg General Grievous. Despite such tragedy, he fought on bravely, proudly brandishing his battle scars and instilling loyalty among his men. But after the Empire takes hold, Wolffe is among the good soldiers who now follow the orders of Emperor Palpatine above all others.

    Aleen

    A rocky, temperate world found in the Mid Rim of the galaxy, the planet Aleen is known for its friendly, boisterous natives, the Aleena, who have traveled throughout the galaxy. Beneath Aleen's ground are other civilizations, unknown to the surface world or to the Republic. A series of devastating groundquakes suffered by the planet during the Clone Wars exposed passageways that connected the exterior and interior worlds.

  • King Manchucho

    default

    King Manchucho

    The leader of the Aleena, King Manchucho was a fair and intelligent leader. He was gregarious and eager to please, always serving as a welcome host to any off-world guests. Manchucho wanted a peaceful coexistence with the beings that lived beneath the surface of his planet, even though their ways and culture remained alien to him.

  • Orphne

    default

    Orphne

    Dwelling deep beneath the surface of Aleen is a strange being known as Orphne. Of reptilian descent with a quick tongue and a clever wit, Orphne knows of the delicate balance that must be maintained between the surface and subsurface worlds. The nymph was witness to the upsetting of this balance when a passage between both worlds was inadvertently breached, which resulted in tumultuous ground quakes shaking the planet.
