Amaxine warriors The Amaxine warriors were supposedly a warrior people that dated back to the dawn of the Galactic Republic . Instead of using currency , the Amaxine warriors traded weapons for goods and services . It was believed that at some point the warriors left the galaxy , in search of another . They later reappeared under the command of Arliz Hadrassian , and caused a bombing at the New Republic Senate building . In response , Senator s Leia Organa and Ransolm Casterfo undertook a campaign to investigate the Amaxines and their links to Rinnrivin Di ' s cartel . Description . The Amaxine warriors wore black jumpsuits and carried various weapons including blaster s and force pike s , the weapons of the Emperor ' s Royal Guard . A substantial number of the Amaxine warriors were adolescent youths in their mid teens . Amaxine warriors spent most of their time training with weapons and flying with their starfighter s . The Amaxine warriors had at least half a dozen bases in Centrist space . Their main headquarters was an under water base on the Expansion Region planet of Sibensko . The Sibensko base contained a large ammunition depot and hosted several starfighters including X - wings , Y - wings , B - wings and TIE / ln space superiority starfighter s . In addition , the Amaxines maintained a smaller base on the desert world of Daxam IV . The Daxam encampment boasted at least a thousand Amaxine warriors and had at least five squadron s of starfighters . While the Amaxines ' s resources and manpower paled in comparison to the " Old Empire , " some contemporary observers like Senator s Leia Organa and Ransolm Casterfo believed that they posed a significant threat to the New Republic . History . Origins . According to an old story told by Leia Organa ' s adoptive mother Breha Organa , the Amaxine warriors were purportedly a warrior people whose entire culture was based in warfare . Instead of currency , they traded weapons for goods and services . According to legend , the Amaxines refused to make peace with the Old Republic . However , unable to defeat such a powerful foe , they departed the known galaxy for another one to search for another war to fight . By the time of the New Republic , they were believed to be extinct . Reappropriation . In 28 ABY , the Amaxine warriors became the name of a local paramilitary organization that controlled smuggling operations around Daxam IV . This organization had no connection to the original Amaxines but was merely a group of malcontents who had established themselves as a burgeoning paramilitary with the encouragement of Lady Carise Sindian , a prominent Centrist Senator who served as a clandestine agent of the First Order , a remnant of the Old Empire based in the Unknown Regions . After bankrolling the Nikto crime lord Rinnrivin Di ' s cartel , Lady Carise and her Centrist colleagues diverted funds into procuring weapons and training for the Amaxine Warriors . According to Joph Seastriker , no record of the Amaxines existed on any New Republic public information grid . However , there were reports of Amaxine activity on several Centrist worlds clustered in one section of the galaxy . They generated considerable revenue from smuggling operations carried out by Rinnrivin Di ' s cartel , whose activities were hurting the offworld trade of the planet Ryloth . Rinnrivin hired the Amaxine warriors as pilots for his smuggling operations and raids on Ryloth ' s commercial shipping . On the surface , the Amaxines appeared to be the financiers and partners of Rinnrivin ' s cartel when in fact they were mainly proxies of the undercover Centrist agents of the First Order . The Amaxines maintained between five and six bases including an encampment on the subarctic desert world of Daxam IV in the Outer Rim Territories and a larger base on the watery planet of Sibensko in the Expansion Region . Their leader was Arliz Hadrassian , a former TIE fighter pilot , who had ties to Lady Carise . While Hadrassian wanted the Amaxines to serve as the vanguard of the First Order ' s attack on the New Republic , Lady Carise regarded them as a distraction for sowing chaos in order to prepare the galaxy for the return of the First Order . The New Republic starfighter pilot s Joph and Greer Sonnel learned about the paramilitary organization during a visit to Sonnel ' s homeworld of Pamarthe . Joph and Greer discussed their findings with Senator Organa , who was spearheading an investigation into Rinnrivin ' s cartel . Realizing the two organizations were linked , Leia sent her colleague Senator Ransolm Casterfo and Greer to investigate the militia ' s base on Daxam IV . Shortly later , Hadrassian bombed the Galactic Senate ' s conference building to sow confusion . This only drew Leia ' s attention to the Amaxines and Casterfo traveled to Sibensko to investigate . After befriending Hadrassian and gaining her trust , the two discovered that the Amaxine warriors were training had mustered a large fleet of starfighters and had thousands of personnel . Most of the Amaxines were adolescent youths who wore black jumpsuits . Casterfo also discovered their main base was on Sibensko . Destruction . Later , Senator Organa and her entourage including C - 3PO traveled to Sibensko . There , Threepio managed to download banking records showing that the Amaxines were funnelling billions of Credit s into Rinnrivin ' s cartel . Rinnrivin ' s cartel was channeling these funds to nameless sources on Centrist worlds . Leia and her team also discovered evidence that the Amaxines were marshalling starfighters and personnel for a war against the New Republic . Despite escaping the Amaxines , the underwater base was destroyed when a downed Amaxine starfighter collided with the ammunition store ; creating an explosion that killed many Amaxines and wiped out much of the evidence . The skirmish on Sibensko dealt a heavy blow to the Amaxine warriors and wiped out most of their manpower and starships . Hadrassian was infuriated by the destruction of much of her organization and attacked Lady Carise and her Centrist counterparts for refusing to secede from the Republic . Lady Carise retorted that Hadrassian ' s " Napkin Bombing " only drew attention to the Amaxines . Since the Amaxines had in her view outlived their usefulness , Carise withdrew her support from them . Lady Carise hoped that the events on Sibensko would cause the New Republic to cease investigating the Amaxines ' links to the First Order . Despite this setback . C - 3PO was unable to access data layers that linked the Amaxines directly to the First Order . As a result , most people in the New Republic Senate and media wrongly believed that the Amaxines had been the primary financiers and partners behind Rinnrivin ' s cartel . After Ransolm spoke out in support of Leia ' s testimony on the Amaxines ' activities , Lady Carise decided to discredit the dissident Centrist senator by arranging for Hadrassian to assassinate the Populist politician Tai - Lin Garr . Hadrassian then killed herself before she could be taken into custody . Lady Carise ' s slicer s then produced faux footage linking Casterfo to Hadrassian , who had taken the fall as the instigator behind the Napkin bombing and the Amaxine warriors . As a result , Casterfo was deported to his homeworld of Riosa for trial , sentencing , and im prison ment . In retaliation , Leia convinced the Elder Houses to strip Lady Carise of her royal titles . With the Senate unwilling to take action against the Amaxines and their true masters , Leia formed the Resistance to defend the New Republic . Behinds the scenes . The Amaxine warriors first appeared as minor antagonists in Claudia Gray ' s 2016 novel " Bloodline " .
