Nightsister Merrin

Among the scattered Jedi who survived Order 66, the purge that all-but wiped out the Jedi Order, Cere Junda has been living in seclusion for years. After saving Cal Kestis from the Imperial Inquisitorius, Cere begins to mentor the former Padawan. But along with Greez Dritus, the captain of the Stinger Mantis, Cere is on a secret mission of her own -- to rebuild the Jedi Order.

The Latero Spaceworks S-161 “Stinger” XL is a luxury yacht built for wealthy executives and oligarchs who want a fast ship that draws stares and rapt attention wherever it goes. Incorporating the latest in performance technology while maintaining the elegant visual aesthetic of the Republic ships from days gone by, the Stinger class starship stands apart from the utilitarian designs favored by the Empire. In the time after Order 66, Greez Dritus serves as captain of one such ship, dubbed the Stinger Mantis because he likes the image it provokes, despite the fact that no breed of mantis across the known galaxy has anything resembling a stinger.

A companion droid designed to assist operations in remote or dangerous locations across the galaxy, BD-1 has an almost disturbing enthusiasm for data collection and little regard for self-preservation. Like other BD units, this droid was programmed to be the ideal assistant to a researcher or explorer operating alone in the field with its ability to traverse all types of terrain.

Cal Kestis, a survivor of Order 66, was trained by Jedi Master Jaro Tapal. After years of living on the run and fighting the Empire, Cal has grown into a fierce Jedi warrior. Carrying the memories and expectations of the Jedi Order with him, his crusade against the Empire has only become more perilous.

The captain of the Stinger Mantis, the four-armed Latero Greez Dritus is an adept pilot who works for Cere Junda. Known for his gruff nature and curmudgeonly demeanor, Cere is the only person in the galaxy who Greez appears to hold in high esteem.

A freelance gunslinger with no love for the Empire, Bode Akuna is an ally of Jedi Knight Cal Kestis. Armed with a jetpack and his blasters, Bode is a versatile mercernary who is always ready for a fight.
