Cypress

Cypress was a male human who served as a general in the ground forces of the Resistance, a paramilitary group founded by Leia Organa to monitor and oppose the actions of the First Order. Thirty years after the Battle of Endor, the First Order used Starkiller Base, an ice planet turned into a megaweapon, to destroy the entire Hosnian system, dealing a major blow to the New Republic by eliminating its current government. In response, the Resistance set off to destroy the megaweapon. During the ensuing assault on Starkiller Base, Cypress was among the officers who monitored the starfighters from the Resistance base on D'Qar.
