Rhyley Stargazer

Rhyley Stargazer is a Corellian Jedi Pilot and Hero of the Rebel Alliance who fought against the tyranny of the Galactic Empire before becoming Crown Prince of Orupia.
A descendant of Ulic Qel-Droma he was born in 17 BBY, to the heiress of S.S.I Tessia Stargazer and Raleigh Laine. Raised on Corellia, his mother would leave his father before meeting and marrying CorSec Admiral Taei Wynonyms. In 4 BBY Stargazer would enrol at the CorSec Academy and meet Corran Horn and Bai'yle Norssohn before seeing his life change dramatically in 0 ABY following Corellia's Imperial Absorption. Feeling the blame for the rumoured death of both his father and brother, Rhyley fled from his mother and sister and lived a life on the edge.
After a chance meeting with Aniwevei Chreitti the young pilot would learn of his Force Sensitivity and in the years following Stargazer would eventually joined the Rebellion as a Special Operations Commando and receive training in the ways of the Force from Jedi Master Vima-da-Boda. After fighting in many fateful battles including the Battle of Hoth and Orupia, in 7 ABY he would be part of Han Solo’s Strike Team that would help destroy the Second Death Star. That year would change his life like no other, with Cayla Dunestrider giving birth to his children Micah, Allya and Bai, the young pilot would finally admit his love for Kileo Dimoh, who was by then his Jedi Apprentice before he fell to the dark side during the Orupian Civil War and battle between House Ceylon and House Valois. Victorious following the end of the war, Stargazer was later caught in the catastrophic destruction of New Alderaan.
The Corellian finally managed to leave the devastated planet a year later and return to the New Republic where he was redeemed from the Dark Side by his lover Princess Kileo of Orupia. However during his absence from the New Republic, the galaxy had changed beyond recognition, and the Corellian surprisingly withdrew from the New Republic Military, resigning from his rank of Commander in order to focus on his impending marriage.
His life however was not as simple as he had expected having been used to leading, his role as a supportive husband and Crown Prince took a lot of getting used to and with the building tensions blighting the Outer Rim, it wasn't long before Stargazer was again thrust into action. Forced to turn against his lover following Kileo's descent into the ways of the Syga under the tutelage of Alma, Rhyley was made to fight against those he cared about most.
Overcoming the Syga Witch, and reconciling the changes he and Kileo had gone through, Rhyley finally married his lover in 9 ABY. With he and his love united once more, the couple continued their roles as Princess and Crown Prince of Orupia, helping to establish the planet on the Kabus Run and lending their support to their friends during the Bacta War against Ysanne Isard.
== Persona ==
Rhyley is anything but a Jedi to those that know him well enough to consider him a friend. It was only as a young man that Rhyley learned of anything to do with the Force. Having lived in a closely-knit family, he has become fiercely loyal to those he has grown close with. He is selfless to a fault, always thinking of his companions before himself and would never do anything willingly to cause pain to any of them unless he knew it was for what he thought 'best'. His love and pride of his duty has also made him articulate and very respectful to most of his seniors, however his difference in opinion usually means that not many see his respect. He has been born with his grandfather’s fiery temperament and if pushed has been known to go out of control.
Conversely he is also defiant and bold when talking with authority figures often getting him into mischief, though never too far that his quick wit and charm would help him out of danger. Nevertheless at the CorSec Academy in his circle of companions he is also amenable to outsiders approaching him, as he is usually friendly though keeps his true feelings, thoughts and sometimes intelligence, hidden behind the façade others expect him to be of an Academy Pilot. His time spent in the Academy and Imperial Naval Forces has seen him become confident in most things, especially piloting.
He has a great thirst for knowledge and likes others to hear his opinions and to hear theirs. Lastly Rhyley is equally passionate, competitive and proud both of himself and those around him.
== Portrayal ==
Rhyley has piercing light azure almond-shaped eyes along with short length styled rusty brown hair. His eyes set wide apart give him a angelic look, and his pouting smile is always seen. He sports a small scar just above his right eye that cuts through his brow. Being a recruit at the Academy and later with the Rebellion has kept him toned and given him broad shoulders, though not overly muscular. He is proud of his appearance and attends to it more than most males and certainly Jedi would.
Growing up in the Core has meant a good education has been bestowed on the young hotshot pilot. Knowledgeable of anything to do with space, Stargazer has a good overall view of Ship Maintenance, Combat and Tactics having spent a lot of time in the Academy studying as well as being able to see his father command a fleet in person. Also because of his time in the Academy, Rhyley is proficient in combat, though has steadily improved his ability in combat during the conflict with the Black Sun and Empire. Since learning of his force sensitivity, Rhyley has spent time on training his melee skills as well as further understanding the new abilities he has begun to unlock.
Finally having spent a lot of time smuggling from Coruscant to Nar Shaddaa and Tatooine, Rhyley has an understanding of both Huttese and Ubese languages and is able to string a sentence together in either dialect. Though Ubese is a dying language, his time spent in the company of the Ubese Mercenary, Mazaan enabled him to pick up the subtleties of this difficult dialect. His father, grandfather and 'uncle' Garm Bel Iblis would often speak Olys Corellisi when in their presence and though he cannot speak the language is able to understand a few words and greetings.
=== Attire ===
He is usually seen wearing casual clothing like thermals and Corellian Bloodstripe embroidered strides when not doing anything specific. This may also mean he wears fatigues and scruffy clothing, with him usually spending free time working on his personal ship, Rogue Star or any other projects he is currently undertaking.
However when Rhyley is on a mission or in training, his outfit is something a little more traditional and is varying in design to others which used to adhere to a colouring code of red and black that mimicked the Family Crest. Usually he adorns a pilot jacket preferring more its fit rather than the expediency of its design. A tight fitted figure-hugging shirt stretching across his torso is underneath. Though incredibly thin and light, the material allows generated heat and cold to filter through the fine contours of the shirt. Along with this he has a utility belt, though mostly for show as he likes the design on the front, and his weapon holster tied to his hip. If in the cockpit of one of his starfighters then he will be seen in a Starfighter Jumpsuit.
=== Armour ===
When in combat and needing more protective clothing Rhyley wears a selection of armour that he has collected over a period of time. Rather than relying on one style of armament, Stargazer adapted different parts of armour for his own specific style matching in ways his own combat. For example initially during the conflict with the Black Sun, the young pilot would be seen wearing an Ubese Helm that was given to him during his time on Coruscant, yet as the rigours of battle took its toll and the need for more advanced Armour became apparent Rhyley upgraded his wear to a style seen to mimic that of the Mandalorian armour.
====Gahn Re-Design====
Following many skirmishes for the Rebellion the time had come for Rhyley to leave behind his former armour, with most parts unable to deal with the constant rigour of war. At his request, both Bai'yle Norssohn along with fellow Mandalorians Rhelex Jubulii-Gahn and Rylena Horloinne worked a new set of armour, not just for Rhyley but also for Bai'yle and later Raedan.
The armour was protected from the majority of varying types of blaster fire without degrading, having been made with duraplast instead of the heavier durasteel, which degraded. His left shoulder piece was also oversized for protection where as his right shoulder piece was refitted for ease of movement. The torso piece was solely designed by Jubulii and crafted to allow more mobility rather than to sustain damage. The right wrist gauntlets have been created to allow Rhyley to conceal a small knife within, where as the left wrist gauntlet is designed to focus on protection. His thighs had duraplast plates fitted and created by Rylena, again with the focus on manoeuvrability, and flexibility. His boots were made from a lightweight duraplast material and were consisted of two parts. The shin piece was actually mounted onto his under armour, and not attached to the foot piece to allow his ankles more range of manoeuvrability. The foot pieces were also adorned with two retractable spikes, mounted at the front and concealed within the sole if hidden. His gloves were made of leather and were fixed with a number of small, thin duraplast plates.
Underneath the armour, Stargazer used an augmented finesse armour liner. This liner consisted of layered thin woven plates, in order to disperse physical and blast impacts, and reducing injuries however in comparison with other liners, it has less protection than that used by the Mandalorians of Rhelex Jubulii and Bai'yle Norssohn, in favour or more mobility and litheness. Along with this Rhyley uses a leather utility belt that usually has eight leather pouches for various small items and holster for a small-arms weapon, usually storing Rhyley's DL-44.
In keeping with his former helmet design, the new helmet would keep it's T-Shaped Visor as well as integrate a sophisticated heads-up-display (HUD) with communications also implemented into the design.
Finally the Mandalorian warriors decorated the armour and attached specific parts to it to reflect their view on Rhyley's personal accomplishments, as well as his style. The colouring of reds was to reflect Rhyley's father like nature of the Unit Members as well as to honour his own father and heritage. The bicep attachments were taken from a Bai'yle Norssohn's former armour, signifying brotherly love. Finally the compact, lightweight torso section was refitted to reflect Rhyley's arrogance. 
The ending result was a brilliant Red, Black and Silver ensemble suit mimicking the Stargazer Family Crest, that fit close to Rhyley's body enabling him to keep his physical and athletic prowess whilst in battle as well as managing to hold up against the barrage of blaster fire that would usually come his way. Since it's creation Rhyley often wears parts of his armour whilst not actively in the field of combat, having liked its design and the fit it has on his body.
Though for a while it had maintained it's Ubese style, since Rhyley first created his own armour, with the Gahn Re-Design, this has been totally negated for a more Mandalorian style. By 7 ABY with the deaths of Rhelex Gahn, Bai'yle Norssohn and Sava Stary, Rhyley refrained from ever fully donning the Gahn Armour again.
====Stargazer Re-Fit====
By the end of 6 ABY Rhyley had begun to utilise both the Rebel-issued Special Force Armour and Infiltrator Armour as seen worn by Stargazer during the Battle of Orupia and during the time spent settling on Talus. However along with both of these armours Rhyley began to use a mixture of differing armour types like he had done before utilising the Gahn Armour.
The armour itself was very light fitting, with no protection offered on Rhyley's right arm, no helmet, and only under armour used across his torso. Along with this he would use similar designed parts from the Gahn Armour for his feet, legs and left arm. Lastly he would use DZ-17X type armour for the rest of his left arm and parts of his leggings. Coloured in a mixtures of blues and silvers, it was a break from his previous worn armour variations.
Although far less protected than any other armour, Rhyley grew to prefer this type of armour above most of the others, preferring the freedom it would give his body.
=== Weapon ===
A product of Corellia's Youth and being a graduate of the CorSec Academy in Coronet, Rhyley was often seen equipped with a CDEF Pistol. However as he grew older his grandfather decided to train him in weapon use that he would not normally have seen being a CorSec Pilot. Now he always carries his blaster, a custom modified DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol that is very similar to his grandfather's custom XT version. The handle of the blaster was remodelled around Stargazer's own grip to have a better feel for the weapon when in use as well as dampening the recoil effect on his wrists. Also the barrel was redesigned by a weapon-smith on Nar Shaddaa, that increased the weapon's re-fire rate. 
Rhyley also utilises an EE-3 Carbine Rifle, the chosen weapon of his father, Taei Wynonyms. More powerful than an Imperial Stormtrooper's standard E-11 Blaster Rifle it is different in design to that of his father's EE-3 with Stargazer's EE-3 fully customised by Rhyley himself. The weapon was outfitted with the standard EE-3 barrel along with a secondary barrel that would allow him to fire charged bolts as well as a small shoulder-stock for support in firing with a fast draw shoulder sling. It fired in short bursts allowing for more accuracy and power. Following joining the Rebellion and the skirmishes against Black Sun and other organisations during his time on Tatooine, Rhyley utilised an L33T Carbine made by the weapon-smith Rodian, Qookvat Eed. In the lead up to the battle of Orupia and Endor he was seen actively using an Alliance-issued BlasTech A280 Blaster Rifle and in the months after an N'Gant-Zarvel 9118 Heavy Carbine during his time on New Alderaan. 
Although even with the added fire power he prefers to use the DL-44 for it's accuracy, comfort, charge function as well as its ability to consistently penetrate armour, including that worn by Imperial Stormtroopers.
Following a trip to Alakatha and the fortune of stumbling upon an ancient lightsaber, Rhyley has since equipped this weapon on occasion. Though less likely to adorn the weapon in public, Rhyley has trained with the weapon and has utilised it during the attack on the Detention Centre at Corellia, his escape from the Kessel Mines, and later in a duel against the Dark Master, Temaz Aquinterra. Over the course of the next year thanks to his increasing proficiency in using the weapon he has utilised it far more often. Initially the hilt was masked with a wrap that sat tightly on the rear of his belt giving it the look of a simple pouch along with utilising his droid, Emfive, in hiding this weapon from sight. More recently however he wears the weapon swinging freely from his belt at his hip.
=== Droid ===
Rhyley usually is seen with a small astromech droid at his side. R2-M5 has been with Rhyley since his arrival in Outmian Yakta, the droid having been handed to him by Thaka Altair, has served the Corellian faithfully since. Adorned in Black, Red and Silver, the small droid has proven invaluable to Stargazer and has saved his life on more than one occasion. The droid is also very loyal, and was part of the reason why the OSF were able to track Rhyley after the pilot's sudden exit following the disappearance of his lover Atyphe Vrydella and was at his side both at his wedding and during the time he spent in surgery following the loss of his arm.
=== Personal Ships ===
Having always wanted to be a pilot, Rhyley has slowly increased his number of personal ships.
The YT-1300 Corellian Freighter, Rogue Star is Rhyley's pride and joy. The ship having been built by his grandfather's Shipyards and used as his father's personal vessel was considered lost following his family's rush into hiding. A smuggler known as Asua Baj’het in fact had stolen the ship. Years later, Rhyley by chance would come across the ship again and would manage to recover the vessel. Restoring the ship to it's former glory a series of missions has seen the Star been modified beyond what it was initially designed for.
The TransGalMeg Kihraxz Fighter, Rogue Spear was Rhyley's first owned ship, having salvaged the small fighter from the scrap yards in Mos Espa, Rhyley slowly rebuilt the starfighter to allow sub-flight. Though the vessel is incapable of hyperspace and has poor shielding, Rhyley had kept the small vessel for sometime however eventually sold the fighter in late 8 ABY to Reffa Tyros, an Orupian pilot.
The Belbullab-22 Fighter, Rascal One was Rhyley's personal starfighter during his time as Commander of the Ghost Squadron. The ship has been modified by trusted friend Bai'yle Norssohn and has been upgraded in its speed and manoeuvrability. Rhyley purchased the ship from Dune Sea Enterprises after a continual time spent in the small one manned fighter, before selling it to a private collector in 8 ABY.
The KSE Firespray-31 Attack Craft, Firestar was initially the personal fighter of the Bounty Hunter, Blue. Following Bai'yle's recovery of the ship and the incarceration of Blue, Rhyley took ownership of the small KSE Fighter. Since then Rhyley has recently used the Firespray in leading the OSF and Smugglers of Nar Shaddaa against the Empire. Over the course of the next year, Rhyley and Bai'yle began customising the vessel for Stargazer's use, that later saw him pilot the ship to Orupia in 6 ABY. Having crashed the vessel, the ship had remained in storage in an Orupian Hangar whilst it was repaired before eventually being recovered and utilised by his brother, An-Taei Wynonyms.
The Incom T-65(AC4) X-Wing Starfighter, Royal Rascal was the only vessel purchased as new by Rhyley. Acquired when the Corellian finally settled on Orupia in late 8 ABY, the starfighter (named by Jonset) was primarily used to help train the new Orupian Royal Pilots as well as defend traffic lanes in the Arcadia Sector and appease droid companion R2-M5. During its first combat run, Stargazer piloted the vessel and destroyed seven pirate vessels flying the flag of the Corsairs.
== Insights into Troubled Times ==
Corellians have often been thought of as courageous and cavalier by most other species especially those from the Core Worlds. In fact as is the nature of a Corellian, the suggestion of making something infeasible achievable fills them with such inspiration, vigour and single mindedness that they are a people that are hard to contend with. Honour and Pride plays a huge part of Corellian ideals that they have become sentimental with anything remotely reminding them of their homeworld. Family is also revered as sacrosanct and nothing should ever cause dispute within the family unit.
Rhyley is a progeny of a family legacy that has traversed time. A descendant of the Qel-Droma Family from the Old Republic it is little wonder that Rhyley would eventually be thrown into the attention of millions where his own decisions would affect those he loved and those he hated. The Stargazers were a family settled on the Core Planet, Corellia. His Grandfather, Gern Stargazer, was the C.E.O of Stargazing Shipyards Inc (S.S.I.) a company that helped manufacture Security/Transport Vessels for the CorSec Navy; his Step-Father Taei Wynonyms was an Officer within CorSec who had command of the 6th Defensive Sector Fleet (aptly named the 'Whyren Fleet').
At Rhyley’s birth Corellia was a planet not at ease with Palpatine’s New Order. Garm Bel Iblis (one of Corellia’s favourite sons) had gone into hiding and was beginning to lay the foundations of a Rebellion against the tyrannical rule of the Galactic Empire. Diktat Dupas Thomree managed to secure a deal that allowed the Sector and its people to remain mostly free though they would pay large taxes, supply war materials and present homage to the Emperor.
Life as it had been lived has also been changed. The notion of the former government remains a distant ideology that failed though it gave birth to stability and order. An Empire. Even the Jedi are thought of as an acute cult, hell bent on destroying the perfect way of life. Teaching and trainings in this religious nonsense is punishable by death and any knowledge of anyone practising these forbidden arts is rewarded. The Jedi influence in the Core is almost if not all dead and the process of finding those in tune with the force is still used.
== Birth of a Legacy (17 BBY to 0 BBY)==
=== Poignant Beginnings ===
His birth was initially one of tragedy. His mother, Tessia Laine, lived in a terrible fear of her brutal husband and would constantly cower and weep. The sadness that ached deep within her heart would also bore into the infant’s own soul, even at such a young age, and would shape his own feelings as such is the way of the force. It took a lot of courage for the young woman to finally leave the man that was the father to her own son, but one fateful night that would all change.
Tessia’s father Gern Stargazer was a proud and fiery man when pushed and when he found his daughter with raw shades of mauve stricken across her soft face, his anger swelled to a point where he could no longer stand by and watch his daughter wither in pain. As is a father’s love for his daughter, with the heavens awash in a deluge of incessant rain; Gern and his brothers paid a visit to Rhyley’s father. At the age of two this would be the last time Rhyley would ever see his real father.
=== Tentative First Steps ===
Taken in by his grandparents along with his mother, Rhyley finally had the stability around him that would help him grow in confidence. Born with the same boldness and cheeky exterior that most Corellian males inherited, the young child would constantly push his boundaries whilst dreaming of floating upon the clouds above him. Time and time again Rhyley would be found in his Grandfather’s workshop, helping (or hindering) the current Shipyards project Gern was working tirelessly on.
As his mother watched her son grow, the pains of the past soon began to slip from her memory as she too eventually moved on with her life. Falling in love with one of her Father’s associates, Tessia married the man that would ultimately shape Rhyley’s demeanour.
=== Fatherly Love ===
Taei Wynonyms was a man that thrived on pressure and relished everything traditional about family life. Renowned as an Officer of insight within CorSec, Taei’s own father died when he was a young man, this loss of guidance allowed his character to leap forward assuredly. Decisive and intuitive the man built his own family business into a thriving commerce of activity before selling his business as he began treading a prosperous career with CorSec. His own show of unrivalled love was reflected in his decision to adopt Tessia’s son as his own and for the child to keep his Father-in-Law’s surname allowing the Stargazer heritage to continue. Tessia and Taei Wynonyms was a couple that were destined in the stars.
Taei’s own selflessness and intelligent thinking reflected in Rhyley, as he grew older. Soon to be joined by both a sister and brother, the young family was a picture of happiness and joy. The changes to his family around him bestowed the boy with an ideal of elder sibling protectiveness. Rhyley would never refer to Taei as anything other than Dad, firmly holding his family in his heart. He would do anything he could to make his sister laugh especially and between the two brothers a competitive if somewhat covetous rivalry soon entailed, yet always was it accompanied by the laughter of three children, under the watchful gaze of their parents.
=== Corellian Bloodlines ===
As Rhyley entered his adolescence he decided to follow a dream that had been with him for as long as he could remember. To dance amongst the stars. Defying his father and mother’s guidance that saw trouble mounting on the horizon for Corellia, the headstrong youth joined the CorSec Academy at the tender age of thirteen. It was as if the boy was destined to wear the tailored tunic of the military as it fit him so well. Yet in the Academy Rhyley would have to deal with authority and strict rules, something his character always rejected. Not out of spite or anger; just the constant need for him to find his boundaries.
As he grew in the Academy, the young Stargazer allowed his rebellious spirit to repeatedly confront not only his superiors but also his family. Adventurous by nature he would frequently skip curfew chasing the thrill of escapades with his friends under the brilliantly glaring moon above them. On countless occasions Rhyley would argue with his Stepfather over the most innocuous of quarrels, either side of him finding himself in trouble.
The thrill and intoxication of ventures in the shadowy corridors of Corellia where death was an often occurrence was a place no boy should ever experience or witness as his parents would argue, yet no matter what was said Rhyley’s restless spirit would always want that next adventure. Joined by his usual circle of friends including Bai'yle Norssohn, Geori Bateson, Jonset and Tekk Larr among others, the boys would try their talents in Swoop Races against other Gangs, or frequent the shadier Clubs mingling with the most loathsome of villains and striking rivalries with other young Corellians like Asua Baj'het.
Thought of as something of a rogue, Rhyley impressed though often annoyed his superior officers as well as his jealous classmates. The journey through the Academy was filled with equal joy and disappointment. His refusal to reform and be subservient even though he seemed blessed with brilliant piloting skills and astute tactical insight led him to countless suspensions and yet his superiors would never expel the talented youngster.
Soon enough Rhyley realised that he could seemingly get away with anything. As if blessed by the stars. He felt unmatched and unrivalled as if able to do almost anything he put his mind to. Be it to win the heart of girl, or make the fastest time in the Corellian run, this boy knew of no limitations to his talent. Between Stargazer and Norssohn, the two young Corellians left a legacy that would forever be spoken of in the halls and dorms of the Academy. Arrogance to an extent settled inside his character, though not overly aggressive, just assured, confidant, Corellian.
=== Corellian Bloodstripe ===
Upon graduating from the Academy, Stargazer accepted a commission amongst the Black Squadron, a squadron assigned with the 3rd Defensive Sector Fleet under the command of Sergeant Elteen Rhea. It was a move that surprised many, with some considering him just as adept at Fleet Command, like his father, and expecting the young Corellian to take a position as a low-ranking officer rather than that of a un-ranked pilot. However it wasn't long till the name Rhyley Stargazer was spoken by those in the CorSec High Command.
During a routine outer sector patrol, Stargazer along with Norssohn and Corran Horn intercepted a distress beacon close to the planet Soronia, and decided to investigate. Closer inspection of the planet's surface revealed that a ship had indeed crash landed on the icy world. Sending Horn on to co-ordinate the arrival of CorSec rescue teams, Stargazer and Norssohn landed their CorSec X-Wings at the crash site and began scouting for survivalists.
Searching the wreckage the two young CorSec pilots managed to rescue eight of the crew and three passengers before the blaze destroyed the ship. Securing a camp, the men lit fires and warmed Corellian Tea for those that had escaped as they waited for a rescue team that seemed to be taking its time to arrive. Re-checking their ship's communications, they found that they were completely cut off. Suddenly markers sparked into life on their sensor radars, no less than fifty beings heading in their direction. Fortifying their position between the carnage and their own ships, Stargazer and Norssohn prepared for the coming assault by the hidden Binayre Pirates lead by Asua Baj'het.
The blaster battle was long and arduous. Eventually the roar above of CorSec Rescue ships caused the attackers to flee. Both Rhyley and Bai'yle had suffered mild blaster burns but of those they rescued, everyone made a full recovery in the weeks following. For their valiant effort, the two pilots were awarded the First-Class Corellian Bloodstripe for courage demonstrated after deliberation and are amongst the youngest Corellians to have ever been awarded the honour.
== The Broken Path (0 ABY to 4 ABY) ==
=== Darkness Mounting ===
With the death of Diktat Dupas Thomree, the Empire’s presence became more severe. The appointment of Daclif Gallamby who was no more than a puppet of the Imperial Governor further cemented the Empire’s hold of the planet. The Imperial Navy had absorbed CorSec; it’s goals identical to that of the Empire. And thus soon Corellians were drafted into the servitude of the Emperor.
Upon these changes the Stargazers and Wynonyms immediately tried to leave their beloved home. Gern and his wife Annuil fled the planet having seen their business the S.S.I. (which had been part of the family for four generations); seized by the Imperials following the Mandate of Pecuniary and Commerce Preservation Act. They settled on Chandrila, a planet deep in sympathy for the Rebellion.
Taei Wynonyms renounced his position within CorSec and with the aid of Bel Iblis went into hiding with his family. The only member of the family that was not safe from the Empire was CorSec Inductee Rhyley Stargazer. Placed in a precarious position, unable to reach his family for fear of giving their position away to his new superiors, Rhyley played along as the do good CorSec Imperial. Even his old teachers noticed that the once rebellious youth had curtailed his rogue streak and became a model Imperial. Little did they now that he and a few of his peers had already decided to defect to the Rebellion.
=== Traitors and Treason ===
The abandonment of CorSec by Rhyley, Bai'yle Norssohn and Reene Smait should have (had it gone as Rhyley had planned) happened without a hitch. The idea was whilst on a routine sensor sweep of sector 4-Aplha-Omega for the three of them aboard an Imperial Gunboat to change direction and make a series of short hyperspace jumps to co-ordinates Bai'yle had supplied where they would rendezvous with an Alliance Fleet.
Everything seemingly went as planned. The jumps were made effortlessly. And upon arrival at the co-ordinates they came face to face with the Alliance Fleet. Hailed by none other than General Bel Iblis, Rhyley had thought he had escaped the clutches of the Empire. His family safe aboard the Frigate amongst the flotilla of assembled Alliance Ships meant that the family was re-united.
Though unknown to them, their companion Reene Smait was sending a secret transmission back to the Imperials. No sooner had the family been re-united did an Imperial Star Destroyer deploy from Hyperspace and begin to ravage the small vessels of the Alliance. Reene Smait absconding via an escape pod left Rhyley and Bai'yle to a demise that he had planned himself. TIE Fighters filled the space around them as ships decorated with Alliance colours exploded or jumped to safety.
The Frigate that housed his family immediately fell upon heavy bombardment from the Star Destroyer. Taei sent his wife and daughter along with other escapees in a shuttle to safety. An-Taei petrified by what was happening around him, hid away aboard the frigate and was split from his mother and sibling. Whilst Taei searched frantically for his youngest, the Imperials managed to board the frigate and assume control of the vessel. Rhyley under directives by his Stepfather escorted the shuttle of escapees including his mother and sister to a rendezvous before leading them to their new home on Abridon. It would be four years before Rhyley and his family would see Taei Wynonyms or brother An-Taei Wynonyms.
=== The Fallout of a Rebellion ===
Broken and disheartened, Rhyley was barely an image of his former self. Overwhelmed with the sadness of losing both his Stepfather and Brother believing both had perished, Rhyley decided to terminate his application to the Alliance Starfighter Corp and forgetting about the Rebellion he had decided to join as he had planned. It had become so hard for the young Corellian, that he was unable to stay with his family on Abridon, the knowledge that he was the cause of his family's demise unbearable in the presence of his mother. Feeling truly alone, Rhyley fled to Coruscant and destitution.
The harsh realities of Core life began to take its toll on the young man. With more corruption becoming evident in the murkier areas of the Core World, Rhyley fell in and out of trouble with Pirates and other unfavourable despots. It was whilst on the run from a group of unsavoury characters that Rhyley happened to meet Le'xa Flint. Taking advantage of the boy’s unique talents in a cockpit, Le'xa enlisted Rhyley in his own plans for a smuggling operation running the spice lanes from Tatooine to Nar Shaddaa.
=== Cut and Run ===
Joining Flint's crew Rhyley worked closely with men and women that had been deep in the underworld. Comprised of others such as the Mercenaries Dace Rade, Cyliin Nibber and Mazaan, Rhyley struck an unlikely friendship with the Ubese Mercenary Mazaan. Spending time together, Mazaan was the one who would not only teach the young pilot Huttese, but also some of the basic dialogue of his own language of Ubese. He'd also show the young Corellian an insight into vehicle engineering improving Stargazer's knowledge that would prove beneficial not only on a Swoop but also when tinkering with ship systems as well as helping the young Corellian to create his own Armour for those blaster fights that needed that added bit of protection. Stargazer even adopted Mazaan's own helm as part of his own armour.
During a journey to Nar Shaddaa, the crew's happy non-existent life would soon catch the attention of the Empire. Stumbling across an Imperial Patrol the two smuggling ships were asked to power down and be boarded for inspection. Flint losing his nerve ordered Stargazer to make a run for it, leaving the other ships in their wake. Due to Stargazer's prowess in a cockpit, Flint, Rade and Stargazer managed to escape from the Imperial Patrol, however Nibber and Mazaan would not prove so fortunate, losing their lives as the Imperials opened fire on the escaping duo. 
The remaining survivors of the crew soon saw them work for a range of companies and organisations as Le'xa laid down his plans to topple the Hutt and Black Sun monopoly of the Outer Rim. Proving his talent with Smugglers Alliance, Rhyley was soon a prominent patron of Jabba's Palace. Though never comfortable with his newfound surroundings or the ruthlessness shown by Flint, he was glad that this work took his mind away from thinking of his past. As Jabba became more and more impressed with the young pilot's abilities, Le'xa soon grew jealous of his supposed protégé. Taking all of his possessions including a Family Keepsake that was given to him upon graduating from the Academy by his stepfather, Flint along with Dace Rade and the other new members in the crew abandoned Rhyley to an unknown fate in Jabba's Palace.
=== Broken Dreams ===
Alone and penniless again, Rhyley wanders away from the protection of Jabba's Palace even though the crime lord would gladly make him one of his made men in order to procure his seemingly brilliant talent. Realising that he needs a way to get off planet, Rhyley heads in the direction of Mos Eisley, wary of the Imperial presence at Bestine that lies between he and an escape. However not long before journeying out, did a sand storm whip up a confused chaos that forced the young man to stop in the local city of Outmian Yakta.
Finding relief from the frenzied storm in the cantina 'Desert Nights', Rhyley watched as locals gathered whilst entertainers performed on stage. Making the acquaintance of several of the populace including Ferai' Tair, Tarrik Sunstrider and Aniwevei Chreitti, Rhyley felt at ease in his oblivious surroundings. However upon the arrival of a unit of Stormtroopers, Rhyley's apparent disdain for the Imperials bubbled within him, and the brash, impulsive nature of the Corellian found himself in trouble again.
The night spent in the Imperial Cell for speaking out loud what was on his mind did not quell his rebellious nature; in fact it filled him with more anger and contempt for the supposed Galactic Empire. Battered and bruised from the man handling of the Empire's finest, Rhyley wandered out from the city into the rural life surrounding it.
=== Under the Twin Suns ===
Finding work at the Darklighter Estate, Rhyley kept his head down and out of trouble, glad that the Stormtrooper Unit seemed to have no interest in the young Stargazer beyond that of beating him. Working for Huff Darklighter the reward and pay for his labour upon the many technical stations throughout the resort was little, it did give him a chance to purchase a decrepit Starfighter, one that he named Rogue Spear.
The small TransGalMeg Kihraxz (Pronounced ki-Rax) Assault Fighter proved to be a labour of love. It was surprising that the vessel had managed to make it back down to the surface having been punctured severely on the aft side. The Chassis would need repairing, as would the Repulsor drives, though that did not deter Rhyley. Scavenging parts from local dealers that were deemed scrap, Rhyley restored the vessel to near its former glory. Though it may never be able make the series of jump to other planetary systems, it can reach the furthest sectors of the Colonies.
== New Beginnings (4 ABY to 5 ABY) ==
=== Chance Encounters and Family Ties ===
During a run to Outmian Yakta for supplies, Rhyley sat in the town-square pondering life. There he met a Droid Engineer by the name of Thaka Altair whom bizarrely to him beseeched for him to take custody of a droid. After a curious converse, the young Stargazer obliged and took in the chirpy Astromech R2-M5, nicknaming it Emfive for short. As if the suns above had aligned in some twist of fate, a local company propositioned Rhyley a place within the Pilot Squadrons. Surprised and yet enthralled after the converse with Caerwynn Royce and dreaming of the prospect of being in a Fighter Squadron yet again, Rhyley immediately accepted delighted that his good fortune seemed to be returning.
It was not long after his finding employment with Dune Sea Enterprises, that Rhyley finally found the courage to begin mending his ties with his family. After heading a transport mission for his new employers, Rhyley made the short journey to Chandrila, where he met with his Grandfather and Grandmother. The reunion though tinged with sadness did much to rebuild Rhyley's confidence. Under his grandfather's directive, Rhyley was given a vast sum of credits to help re-establish the once proud family business (Stargazing Shipyards Inc - S.S.I.) with his grandfather's hope that Rhyley would find something with which to rebuild his life.
Whilst staying with his grandparents, Rhyley was visited by Bai'yle Norssohn. The two immediately fell back into their old routine of brotherly friendship and rejoiced about the good times. Though hard for Stargazer, Bai'yle also bore some home truths about the pain Rhyley had caused since his disappearance. Despondent and determined to find a way with which to redeem himself, Rhyley returned to Outmian Yakta, with the hope of rebuilding his family's fortune and most importantly, faith.
=== An Awakening To A Larger Galaxy ===
Upon arrival Rhyley immediately went about restoring the family businesses ties to Tatooine. With Bai'yle joining him on the desert planet as his Head Engineer, the two began to draw up designs for the re-emergence of Stargazing Shipyards Inc in the Outer-Rim Sector. Acquiring lucrative off planet contracts with various companies in resources, utilising the various contacts that Rhyley had on Tatooine, as well as spending a lot of time developing research into ship components and technologies, S.S.I. Tatoo Division finally began to take shape.
Still employed with DSE and his family's business taking its tentative steps in restoring it's place in the vast Galactic Economy, Rhyley finally felt at ease in his new surroundings. His confidence beginning to grow as well as his affection for a certain woman, Rhyley began frequenting the Desert Nights Cantina. Enthralled with Aniwevei Chreitti, the two soon began spending more time with one another. After being contacted by her to help on her expedition to Kashyyyk, the two began to grow close. Though one evening their meeting would take a change that would forever change Rhyley's destiny and their friendship.
Taking her to his home, to impress her with what he had managed to do in his short time on Tatoo, Rhyley gave the young woman a tour of his home. Whilst leaving her for a moment to change and gather a few things from his room, Rhyley came back down to find the young woman missing. Little did he know that she had found her way into his secret communications room, hidden away in his basement. The shock of finding her in a room that was filled with Black-Market Comm. Equipment and Illegal Systems Software was nothing compared to the revelation that the woman was going to bestow upon him.
=== Hokey Religions and Magic ===
In the spiral of their argument, the young woman spoke of a mystical energy that was alien to him. Thinking that she was losing her mind, Rhyley began to wonder what he had allowed into his life. However, when he was about to walk away, Aniwevei made a datapad hover from its position across the room to her. Confused and bewildered, Rhyley listened as she spoke of Witches and Jedi and how in some acute way, that he too was connected to it.
His beliefs and childhood truly shaken Rhyley at first asked Aniwevei to leave, though her frail body only managed to reach his door before collapsing. Riddled with despair and filled with a feeling for this woman, he brought her back into his home. The evening fading away, Rhyley questioned as much of this new ideal of 'Force' as he could before the two drifted into sleep on the floor of his communal room. Waking to find her gone the next day, Rhyley's self-esteem was shattered like nothing before.
The next few days Rhyley drifted tired and weak from his mental state, incoherent and unsure of what to believe. The foundations of all he had known had been undone, though he could not believe it. Feeling alone Rhyley kept his distance from Aniwevei, spending less time at the Cantina and more time alone it was only after his converse with a co-member of his squadron, Atyphe, that Rhyley found stillness with which to build from. Trying to force Aniwevei's words from his mind, Rhyley also frequented his old haunts, the Lucky Despot and Jabba's Palace. A chance encounter there with a warrior clad in blue known only by the name of Melai has opened another door to a much darker world.
=== Rebuilding Faith and Lost Hopes ===
Though the longer he stayed away from the woman, Rhyley could not stop thinking about her. Truly enamoured by her guise, Rhyley allowed his feelings to give in and find its intoxication. Meeting at the Cantina in Mos Espa, Rhyley adopted his behaviour of old, hiding his worries and insecurities of her revelation as best he could under the front of his confident bravado Corellian manner. With the appearance of a Stormtrooper patrol, the couple's alarm was immediately triggered and for the rest of the evening, Rhyley assumed the role of protectorate, shielding Aniwevei as best he could from the attentions of those decked in the whites of the Empire. The two able to reconcile and rekindle their former relationship, Rhyley finally decided that he would do as she asked and journey with her to Kashyyyk.
Still confused over her tales, Rhyley witnessed more of what she was capable of on the Wookiee world. Free from preying eyes, Aniwevei opened up more of her abilities in the force, moving objects without touching them and rekindling her own presence within Stargazer. Though he barely understood what or how she was doing this Rhyley began to ease his own misgivings over the concept of Jedi and the Force. However as he began to set the perimeter alarms, his mind grew dazed as a mist formed in his mind until he fell into a deep sleep. His dream was tinged with an aura of something that he had found. Peculiar that it was almost surreal and yet familiar. As if realising he finally heard it call to him to awaken.
The camp was eerily quiet, and there was no sign of his companion. With his droid the young man chased as fast as he could, guided by the feeling he felt within himself, until he came across a slaver camp. Certain she was inside, Rhyley tried to assault the camp on his own though surprisingly he wasn't alone for long. Hooded figures with an Armed Escort also descended on the camp as if looking for someone themselves. Ordering Rhyley to wait at the entrance and entering, the proud Corellian tried himself to find Aniwevei.
Watching as the hooded figures over-powered the Slavers, Rhyley was soon reunited with Aniwevei though it was not to be for long. Though he begged for her to stay with him, Aniwevei left with the hooded figures promising him to return some day. Alone and confused Rhyley returned home with Aniwevei's possessions and the feeling of a lost love.
=== Loneliness and Expectation ===
The journey home felt cold to the young man. Numbness had crept into the ache he felt having suffered the loss of someone he cared for deeply that reminded him of losing his stepfather and brother. Though his mind was always distantly on Evei, Rhyley tried as best he could to carry on as he did before, throwing himself into his work like never before in a hope that the ache would reside and retreat from his heart. Yet no matter what he did he couldn’t escape the feeling of coldness that seemed embedded in his heart.
thumbnail|right|Burden of Expectation
With Tarrik Sunstrider his Commanding Officer leaving the squadron, Rhyley was given the responsibility of leading the Ghost Squadron into a new era. With more pressure on him than before and eager to earn the trust of his superiors, Rhyley devoted as much time to his squadron as he could forcibly allow, giving more control over S.S.I. Tatooine Division to Bai'yle Norssohn and his old friend Tekk Larr. Drawing up schemes and ideas for the integration of an Elite Squadron within the existing Squadron, Rhyley soon began dreaming and having re-occurring nightmares of Evei and his family. Bewildered Rhyley sought her home in an effort to find answers.
Breaking into the home for him was simple, surprised that she wouldn’t have more security on her home knowing that she was under threat from prosecution. Inside he found more data on life before the Empire, and a glimpse into the history of the Jedi as well as numerous Star Charts and Space Maps chartering the Dathomir System. Absorbing the knowledge in the books only filled him with more self-doubt than before, the information seemingly confirming everything that she had told him. Resentment soon filled in the hole that he felt inside for Evei.
=== Mixed Feelings and Leadership ===
Riddled by feelings of regret and loathing, Rhyley focused as much of his time on the squadron as he could allow. Breaking away from the past history the squadron had, Rhyley installed new procedures, etiquette and ideals upon a squadron full of brash pilots. With the unexpected return of his former Commanding Officer, Tarrik Sunstrider, Rhyley developed a system of Rank and Order, assuming the title of Commander for the Squadron.
Realigning and reforming the pilots, Rhyley placed Sunstrider at his side as Captain and in a bold move installed Atyphe Vrydella as Lieutenant Commander. Completing the reshuffle Stargazer took on more pilots boosting the numbers within. The increased workload did little though to stop his mind from drifting back to his uncertainties over the Force and the Galaxy's history. Leaning on Atyphe for more support, the two grew close, forming a trust and friendship that he would soon begin to feel more for. Finding her nature curious and beguiling the two spent more time together as duties expected more from them. 
Following a rumour that the squadron and company were a place of possible smuggling targets, Rhyley journeyed back into Jabba's Palace to find out if there were any truths to the gossip. Met with a mixture of annoyance and contempt by most of Jabba's men, Rhyley struck an accord with a pilot in a hope to gain a possible inkling into the supposed reformation of the Smugglers Alliance. Adopting Sentar'a Tengi into the squadron, the young Stargazer noticed he had managed to gather the attention of an assailant decked in armour. Surprised by the seeming brashness of the aggressor, the unknown figure beseeched him to follow her outside, where she revealed herself as Atyphe.
The two soon began a fierce argument, Atyphe questioning Rhyley's seemingly lack of understanding of dangers surrounding him and Rhyley furious that the female Twi'lek would place herself in the Rancor Pit just to keep an eye on him. Tempers flaring and emotions bubbling, the two refused to find a common ground immediately. Journeying back to the Cantina, the two reconciled as best they could, though what was evident was the couple's apparent need to protect each other.
Reluctantly placing Atyphe in charge of an undemanding mission to Corellia, and assigning Bai'yle to the mission, Rhyley waited as his new squadron went about proving to him that they could handle anything. The wait was unbearable to a pilot used to issuing commands and then leading them though he managed it. Upon Atyphe's return she confirmed the missions success though it was not without its perils. Whilst in Coronet, the group were attacked by Pirates, aiming mostly for Bai'yle Norssohn, luckily they survived though were visibly shaken. As she broke the news the young Stargazer, he knew almost immediately whom they were…
=== Impulsive Reckless Youth ===
The week following the attack, Rhyley spent most of his time using official business as a cover to delve into the murky underworld of Corellia to find out about the squadron's attackers. Meeting up with an old friend from his Academy days, Jonset, Rhyley and Bai'yle spent as much time as they could gathering Intel on the Pirates using aliases and disguises to stay hidden from further attacks. Dealing with a host of unsavoury characters, the three men began to find a link to those that were responsible for the assault.
The time spent on Corellia was difficult for him. Shielding his identity from a world that fashioned his bravado, Rhyley would often seek solace, receiving communications from Atyphe and Sunstrider from the HQ back on Tatooine as to the current situation, the call of duty would eventually drag him back to Tatooine. Returning back home to Outmian Yakta, Rhyley left Norssohn and Jonset to find out as much as they could about the Pirates.
His arrival back at Outmian was met by a flourish from those worried about his lengthy disappearance. Knowing that he would need someone to help him and Norssohn, Rhyley decided to include Sunstrider in his plans to attack the Pirates. With uncertainty as to the squadron's leadership and its current direction, Atyphe soon began questioning Rhyley's every move, unhappy that he seemed to be avoiding her questions she herself began digging into the Commander's flight records to find out what he had been up to.
Besieging him with her worries and questioning his conduct and behaviour, Rhyley eventually spoke of the truths surrounding his lengthy absence from the squadron. The revelation that he was going to attack the Pirates head on with only Norssohn and Sunstrider as accomplices, seemed to fill the woman with a sense of duty, immediately wanting to go with them. Again the couple began quarrelling over whether the young woman should be allowed to join them, Rhyley’s instinctive protective nature for those he cared for fuelling their argument.
Struggling with his emotions and obvious affection for the woman before him, Atyphe refused to allow him to do what he considered his problem without her. Kissing his cheek, she left before he could realise what he agreed to. From then on he tried his best to avoid her, worrying that his allure for her would get her harmed, though when in her company he struggled to keep his feelings for her hidden, especially in front of others. This revelation led to other pilots finding out about what he had planned, pilots that though he trusted in a cockpit, he wished never to include on something so dangerous.
=== Stargazer Strikes Back ===
Leaving Outmian Yakta for Kor Vella, Rhyley waited in the shadows of the mighty Starport owned by DSE as Bai'yle, Tarrik, Abaim Efeiwoi and Nasnomei Rerzoo soon joined him on planet as expected. What was unexpected however was that Atyphe Vrydella was not with those he expected and that another pilot, Sentar'a Tengi had also joined them. Filled with worry for the missing woman Stargazer forged on with his plan, travelling south to Coronet and with the aid of his pilots, managing to sneak back into the Cantina under the noses of CorSec Agents. Inside he met with Jonset who had only bad news, the Pirates had gone.
Not knowing where the Pirates had moved to, there was a slim chance that one person may know where they had relocated. That one person was Ging Darjeek a former Academy Brat that resented the fact that Stargazer was often overlooked for his mischief whilst a Cadet, and who had now become involved in the underworld, owning a string of Cantinas, the most prominent being at Bela Vistal. Sneaking back out into the forests surrounding Coronet the pilots made their way to Bela Vistal, Rhyley's old home. Slipping into the exotic mountain resort unnoticed Rhyley used his methods of persuasion to remove the information for Darjeek. Finally he knew where the Pirates were, though they would have to move fast. 
thumbnail|right|Scouting the Pirate Hideout
Travelling back to Kor Vella Rhyley and his companions flew immediately for Talus, in search of a base owned by the Pirates near Narshall. On surface and under the cover of darkness, Rhyley was able to put the abilities of his friends to good use, creeping into positions surrounding the camp before finally assaulting them. The taking of the camp was quickly initiated and met with success; the secrets in the camp however would quickly fill the Stargazer rage to its limit. Inside ensnared in a cell was Atyphe. His blood boiling inside with hate over what the Pirates had done, as soon as Sunstrider had managed to find the co-ordinates of the main camp, Rhyley sped off, stealing one of the Pirate's speeders and heading in the direction of the camp.
Alone and undeterred Rhyley soon found the main base. Scouting around he found the perfect vantage point to see all those in camp. Before him were well over thirty Pirates and the unbelievable sight of a Rancor. Soon joined by the other pilots, as well as beleaguered Atyphe, the group staged a dangerous plan, using an explosion hatched by Atyphe and Sentar'a as a diversion so that Rhyley could lead Abaim and Nasnomei up the beach to attack the Pirates. Overwhelming the Pirates in the chaos, the pilots eventually came face to face with the Rancor. It took all of them to put the huge monstrous beast down, but once they had, they had finished what they came to do. Stargazer and his friends had for the time being put an end to the threat of the Shadow pirates.
=== Reunion ===
Able to finally take stock of themselves, Rhyley tried to hold his emotions in check when inspecting Atyphe's injuries, her pain fuelling his own anguish over his inability to protect her especially. Unsure of his own actions Rhyley waited in silence as she treated her wounds as best she could, using bacta strips and injecting herself with adrenaline to help deal with her pain. Feeling helpless as well as useless, Rhyley tore himself from his own want to help and be with her, assuming command and began directing the others in getting off world.
Scattered around the camp were supplies of all descriptions along with two transports, Rhyley and the others searched for more knowledge on the Pirates within the camp, searching through the supplies. Finding a few charts and encrypted messages, Rhyley could barely believe his eyes when he inspected the YT-1300 the Pirates had used more closely. It was his father's own Modified Corellian Freighter, the one he purchased from his grandfather nearly twenty years before, the meeting that brought his father into his mother’s life as well as his own. Tinged with sadness being reunited with the family ship he had thought was lost soon after his father and mother had fled Corellia, Rhyley and the other Pilots left Talus in the Genesis and his father’s own Freighter for home.
thumbnail|right|Reunited with his father's ship
Arriving home Stargazer and Norssohn began working heavily on his father’s ship, reconfiguring its systems, installing new hardware and altering pre-existing data terminals. Stargazer also renamed the ship to Rogue Star, as homage to its former name and the journey Rhyley had taken so far. In Outmian things were decidedly different to how he had left it, the atmosphere usually so welcoming and friendly felt strangely hostile and violent. Taking refuge at the Cantina, Rhyley witnessed Atyphe's first public performance and met with former CorSec Cadet Geori Bateson, the two having known each other at the Academy.
The evening however soon faded into the hostility the town seemed to be suffering from. With the sudden announcement of Miss Royce’s engagement to an Imperial Officer, a few patrons added to the antagonistic mood fuelling the contempt for the Empire and those that had dealings with it. Witnessing the forceful arrest of the brash Doctor Eleyenora Roseward, and hearing about the altercation in the DSE Mall (prior to his returning home) that lead to Caerwynn Royce being held at blaster point, an unease settled in Stargazer's mind. Discontent with what he saw as meagre and unacceptable security, Rhyley spoke to the man he considered the best in a blaster fight. Meeting with Melai and voicing his concerns over the welfare and safety of Dune Sea Enterprise's Managing Director, the two men agreed to protect the woman as best they could from a distance.
=== Passions Burning ===
Allowing the squadron to ease back into its normal activities, Rhyley focused what he could on keeping an eye on the city in the absence of adequate security either side of running a squadron. Relaying his directives to his pilots, Rhyley asked them to remain vigilant, not only in orbit but also in their homes. Finally finding a moment alone with Atyphe he queried his concerns with her. His feelings for her finally submitting to his heart's desire, Stargazer drew the young Twi'lek Female close naturally weaving his arms around her waist, before kissing her passionately. The two immersed in a loving embrace remained blissful for the briefest of moments, playfully teasing one another whilst entrusting the others affection.
Ripping himself from the couple's shared clinch, Rhyley assumed his position as Commander taking the task of planning their next major transport. Using the reconfigured Outmian Spectrum, Stargazer led the squadron on a delivery to Dantooine. In flight however the ship suffered major engine failures, spewing them from Hyperspace dangerously close to the Yavin Star. Rhyley along with the help of Nasnomei, Abaim and Runt managed to recover the vessel from its perilous position and limp the rest of the way to Dantooine. The circumstances surrounding the shock event cause a few of the pilots to highlight possible saboteurs, though without any subsequent basis the pilots return home to Tatooine to ponder some more.
After infiltrating Jabba's Palace under the guise of Bounty Hunters and finding nothing to link to the possible sabotaged Outmian Spectrum, another attack struck the Squadron and Outmian Yakta. Whilst his attention was diverted to Bestine and the DSE Hangar Bays, Rhyley was in the middle of uploading new security measures when he received the communication from DSE Command. An explosion was recorded in South Outmian. Rushing frantically back to his home, filled with fear, Stargazer could barely believe his eyes as he watched in shock the Squadron HQ consumed in a deluge of flames.
His commanding instincts snapping into life, Stargazer organised those that had arrived at the scene directing a plan to extinguish the blaze billowing out and to keep the local populace safe. Using the suggestion of the Sand Deposits in the DSE Warehouses to extinguish the flames, Stargazer left with Sentar’a Tengi for Bestine, prepping the Rogue Star and lifting off before ignoring the calls from Tatooine Air Control for no low atmosphere flying and landing at North Outmian. Gathering the sand onboard and using the DSE Personnel Comm. Frequencies as a guide, Rhyley daringly flew dangerously close to the blaze and dropped the payload of sand deposits on the fire, killing the inferno. Returning to the site, Rhyley watched as smoke funnelled from the squadron’s former home, filled with the certainty that the squadron and perhaps DSE was under attack.
=== Whispers of the Past ===
With the smoke still funnelling out from their former Headquarters, tragedy again plagued the citizens of Outmian Yakta. Following an Imperial Inspection and routine Identification Patrol, a human female refused to co-operate with the 225th Stormtrooper Company, leading to the subsequent and violent threatening of Deianirrah Sevestis. With the town now reeling from its insecurities another attack would befall Outmian Yakta. A group of Swoopers, descending on the town in darkness, soon began stirring trouble for DSE. With 'Max Rockatanski taking the lead, Stargazer and others come to his aide in quelling the trouble. Though triumphant their bloody victory was short lived following the arrest of both Melai and Abaim Efeiwoi. Eventually both were released though Melai was brutally beaten and made an example of by being paraded around the city. Furious Stargazer pondered his future heavily whilst waiting for Ms Royce to return from her vacation.
Offering his own resignation, Rhyley debriefs both the newly married Ms Royce-Mors (to Imperial Captain, Vor'en Mors) and the city’s Mayor, Cravon Wolfgang as to the current state of both DSE and the City. Though his resignation is flatly refused, Stargazer still feels the need to withdraw, sensing that perhaps he was the cause for all these attacks aimed at the company. Confiding first in Melai and later in Atyphe of his concerns, the female Twi'lek states her claim of loving him in hopes that their love will make him rethink his desire to leave. Filled with his enamour for the woman and a renewed sense of duty to those he considers his friends, Rhyley stays with DSE. 
With the chaos erupting around them Rhyley spends his time establishing an Orbital Base of Operations for the squadron and his free time with Atyphe, speaking of their past and hopes for the future. Secrets that both hold within are soon aired in confidence to the other, including Stargazer's abrupt leaving of CorSec, his time as an Imperial Pilot and his ties to the Rebel Alliance. It is by chance or fate that Stargazer touches the books and charts he retrieved from Aniwevei Chreitti's trip to Kashyyyk that inadvertidly reopens his connection to the Force. Filled with the feeling that his friend was there watching him Rhyley wonders as to whether he'll ever understand what it means to be a Force Sensitive and how it will affect him.
=== The Calm Before the Storm ===
With DSE refocusing its attention on the reasons for these attacks, Rhyley looks into the records dealing with everything surrounding the sabotage of both the Outmian Spectrum and the Squadron HQ. Finding some strange occurrences in Kor Vella, Stargazer formulates a plan to keep a closer eye on the Corellian Starport following the completion of the Orbital Base of Operations, the Sanctuary. With his relationship with Atyphe growing the two shy away from the city seeking solace on Naboo and the tranquil surroundings its many lakes and valleys provide.
Able to reassess what his life had been leading to, Stargazer visits his mother and sister on Abridon for the first time since he left their home for Coruscant. With his confidence returning he asks for his mother's permission to acquire land on Naboo, with the hope of one day raising a family of his own. His mother filled with joy that her son seems to have finally have laid the ghosts of his past to rest gives her blessing on the proviso that she meets the woman that had such an affect on her son. Whilst there, Rhyley also sends a transmission on his father's old frequencies to the Alliance General and his father's old friend, Garm Bel Iblis, requesting a meeting.
Finding a spot on Naboo proved easy, and with the family funds from their S.S.I. Accounts, Rhyley purchases a small dwelling close to one of the wondrous natural sites the planet has to offer. Using a ploy to get Atyphe to meet him on Naboo, he takes her to the place before revealing to her the new residence. Though unsure of her reaction, Rhyley awaited her response mixed with excitement of a possible new life and trepidation of over stepping his boundary. Relieved and overjoyed that the female Twi'lek accepts his offer, the two spend a few days amongst the mountains in their new home before returning to Outmian.
Their bliss however was short lived upon their arrival on Tatooine. No sooner had the pair finally returned was Outmian once again under siege by Swoop gangs. With the assistance of other DSE Personnel and Outmian Citizens, the small force was able to quell the trouble, though it left more questions for the group. With Raedan Kitani's revelation that he was working on directives from Jabba the Hutt, Stargazer's distrust of both him and the leadership of his superiors forces him to ally with 'Max Rockatanski in the hope of keeping the city safe. Having been contacted by Talon Karrde regarding information surrounding the attacks, Rhyley and Atyphe travel to the Lucky Despot in Mos Eisley to meet with the Information Broker. What he would reveal to them would spell certain doom for DSE and Outmian Yakta.
=== The Death Sentence ===
The events that had for so long plagued the DSE and Stargazer had in fact according to Talon Karrde, been co-ordinated by no less than six major Crime Organisations. Going on to highlight such Organisations as the Sennex, Binayre, Borvo and even Valarian Crime Organisations, he refrained from mentioning one of the major factors in the attacks. Stargazer already had his suspicions, conversing at depth with his Lieutenant; the young hotshot pilot returned to Outmian and immediately emplaced an emergency broadcast to all personnel, stressing this new information and the level of threat that it implied.
With DSE slowly beginning to restructure its focus, more emphasis having been placed on the continual defence of both the Company's assets, its staff and the city of Outmian itself, Max Rockatanski was finally placed as Head of Security as Stargazer had hoped. News soon reached Stargazer of new promise. Having placed Abaim and Sentar'a in Kor Vella, the two pilots had finally come across a lead that would take them to a fortified base south of Dune Sea Enterprise's Starport that was apart of one of the factions DSE had come up against. Immediately calling to arms the members of DSE, Stargazer initiated a plan to assault and destroy this base of operations and deal a blow to the Association of Crime Organisations. Heading a task force including among others, Sle-Twe Elo and Ixal Dorran, Rhyley lead the force into the fortified den and suppressed those within. During the blaster onslaught Rhyley himself took a blaster shot to the arm, though through grit and determination, Stargazer continued to lead the assault.
With the base dealt with, Rhyley and the others searched the buildings, finding Raedan Kitani inside beaten to within an inch of his life, and nothing much in terms of a lead to their assailants. The group moved home to re-think their next move. With focus stretching the company in different directions, Stargazer was also to receive a personal message from Garm Bel Iblis regarding Rhyley's request for information from the Alliance about Atyphe's parents. Though difficult to digest with his father's death a constant reminder, the couple were informed to head to Anchorhead and await a contact from the Alliance there. They were also informed that not only would Bel Iblis oversee their request but his trusted confidant 'Antilles' would also help.
=== Desert Nights ===
The days after the victory on Corellia the town returned to its earlier charms, people again confident that perhaps this time they had managed to keep at bay their aggressors. Though for Stargazer, Rockatanski and Vrydella, that peace of mind seemed false. Talking at lengths with both his trusted friends, Stargazer began utilising more defensive protocols for his City, drawing up with Atyphe the idea of a safe Haven away from Outmian for some of their trusted friends and enforcing more procedures and programming onboard the Sanctuary. It was during this time, that a thief would fall upon Outmian and ransack the homes of Deianirrah Sevestis and Bai'yle Norssohn. With no clear leads, Stargazer tried as best he could to keep an eye on the city with Max.
With the heightened security evident at Outmian Yakta, the security team itself beginning to show the signs of leadership following a return of force by it's members under Rockatanski's leadership, the next event within their famous cantina would be like no other. With the Stormtrooper Unit patrolling town, and the Cantina as busy as ever, the DSE Armed Force was stretched like never before. Following Atyphe's repeated worry that Deianirrah Sevestis had been gone too long to retrieve her Musical Instrument, Rhyley himself headed to her homestead to find out if she was fine. There was no sign of her. Her home was completely empty with no evidence around her home of her being there.
Frantically searching for her, there was no sign of her at their return to the cantina. Formulating a search in Outmian, it was soon evident that their Managing Director, Caerwynn Royce-Mors had also gone missing. Using the comm. sensors in DSE Offices, Stargazer managed to find a lock on their signal, at a Valarian Impound southwest of Outmian Yakta. With Atyphe, Rockatanski and Tengi in close pursuit, they descended upon the Impound in a deluge of blaster-fire delving deep into the site to find their friends. Reaching the end of the trail, Royce and Sevestis were nowhere to be seen, and Stargazer and his friends had been tricked. Returning back to Outmian they were able to find another lead though by the time they managed to reach the point northeast of Outmian, they were already too late. Their friends had been kidnapped and were gone.
=== Search and Rescue ===
Beaten by their own inept ability to protect their companions against what Stargazer had always feared would happen, the young commander would spend the next night sleepless churning over every possible outlet to finding his lost friends. With Mayor Cravon Wolfgang also having been found missing and evidence turning up at the Museum of his apparent kidnapping, their situation seemed dire. The following day, Stargazer made his first breakthrough able to discern that they had been taken to the Core, Stargazer was asked by Imperial Captain Vor'en Mors, if he could join the rescue. Beset with a clear worrying over the future implications of Mors' inclusion as well as the knowledge of how much Caerwynn Royce-Mors seemed to love this man, Stargazer eventually accepted his assistance. Within twenty-four hours Stargazer would have his heading, Corellia.
Utilising the diverse abilities of Space and Raedan, the group headed to the immense Base of Operations west of Tyrene. Scouting ahead, the site was guarded by no less than two battalions of Droidekas and enough guards to fill a transport. Though heavily outnumbered, the group advanced and managed to overturn the deficit of numbers and secure the base. Inside though they managed to find Deianirrah Sevestis, there was no sign of either Caerwynn Royce-Mors or Cravon Wolfgang. Again they had taken too long, and any sign of where their companions had been held was lost.
Securing the site, Stargazer used what little they managed to acquire from the compound before reducing the site to rubble. After a brief discussion with both Raedan Kitani and Max Rockatanski, Rhyley and the Chief of Security put together a splinter cell under their direction. The cell to be used to gather intelligence and information on the underworld was placed under the tentative leadership of Raedan Kitani. Taking the equipment that they had acquired and through some reprogramming, the company saw the arrival of it's newest sub-section, DSE Intelligence.
=== Hatred and Truths ===
During the excavation of the equipment on Corellia, Stargazer felt a calling that caught his attention. As if someone familiar was close to him, like a pair of eyes bearing into his back watching his every move. His feet treading the path as his senses tried to follow the strange sensation journeyed into the Corellian Forests and Mountain ranges, confused though alert believing that he and his companion Atyphe were following the trail of a Bounty Hunter sent to track them for any of the Organisations that were currently targeting Dune Sea Enterprises.
Tracing the scent, the two managed to corner the person watching having found an unused Swoop. With their blasters drawn, Rhyley touches the Swoop where he is beset with a barrage of emotions and feelings, memories not his own that flash into his mind before ripping itself from his thoughts. Over come, Rhyley steps back confusedly before looking up to see a figure arise from the shadows. The shadow belonging to the person that had told him of his sensitivity to the force, the Jedi, Aniwevei Chreitti.
Overcome with emotion, Rhyley trembled, his own heated emotions bubbling underneath as he tried to ignore the woman. Yet as she spoke, the stinging and cold words of telling him of his shortcomings and immaturity, the hatred of all that had built up from her previous revelation in their first encounter on Tatooine became undone, exploding within him. Gripping his blaster tightly, Rhyley let his heart speak passionately at his resent and hatred from the woman and her hooded companions. The young female Jedi, witnessing first hand just how much power was held in his emotions and being so close to him was bombarded by hate from his lips and through the force. Taken back, Aniwevei leaped back on her vehicle and retreated, speeding away as fast as she would allow.
Drifting, numb from his own anger Rhyley found his way to a clearing where he slumped. Quiet footsteps were eventually heard behind him and soon the warm touch of Atyphe calmed and soothed his anger. After questions of his feelings and what it was that had just happened, Rhyley reluctantly told his love of his past encounters with the female Jedi, and his own acute connection to the force. Clearing as much of the deceit as possible and re-iterating his feelings for the female Twi'lek, Stargazer thought he had finally laid the ghost of Chreitti to rest.
=== Going Underground ===
Returning to Tatooine, Stargazer came across a rallying call made by the Valarian Organisation calling for a rise to arms in Lady Valarian's Crime Group. Seeing a window of opportunity for them to get inside one of those groups that had tried to destroy the Dune Sea Enterprises, Rhyley along with Kitani under the guise of Bounty Hunters infiltrated the Valarian Crime Organisation. Stargazer in the guise of an Ubese Hunter known as 'Mezeen', and kitted in an all-white armour, spoke in a mixture of Huttese, Ubese and Basic that he had learned in his smuggling days when dealing with the pig woman. It wasn't long before both Stargazer and Kitani were both contracted and given their first assignment and task, the assault and destruction of Outmian Yakta.
Managing to release an encrypted message on a hidden channel to Atyphe informing them of the impending attack, Rhyley could barely believe his eyes as he stood witnessing shuttles filled with scum and lifting off in the direction of Outmian. From what he could tell initially there was over a hundred and fifty armed thugs that had been ferried in an attack on his home with himself and Kitani helping.
The siege of Outmian was bloody and ferocious, he watched helplessly in hope that his companions and friends would be able to protect their homes as he tried his hardest to keep his emotions in tact with which to win the favour of Valarian to keep his cover from being blown. Doing as little he and Kitani could to slow communications between the converged assault, Rhyley and Raedan took position, fully disguised in the town centre and waited. Eventually, the chaos soon descended on them as Rockatanski among others soon pushed back those that had attacked. Keeping his shots from hitting his friends, Rhyley played a dangerous game as he allowed the shots from his own friends to hit his armoured body.
Retreating with Kitani, both men were chased into the desert under a deluge of blaster fire, hitting his body incessantly before he fell to the ground. Luckily Kitani was close to rescue him from the Rodian, Qookvat Eed, stood over his beaten body. Managing to get back to Mos Entha, Rhyley was treated by Kitani to his many wounds with only water and cloth wraps before Atyphe managed to infiltrate and bring much needed medical aid to him. Though only enough to dull his pain and begin healing his wounds, it was enough to save his life. That night Stargazer battered and bloodied, huddled alongside Atyphe and drifted into a painful sleep.
=== Exhausted Compassion ===
Meeting with the beleaguered Lady Valarian, though they had suffered catastrophic loses, the Crime Lord kept the two men in her number. The Valarian Organisation was in a state of chaos, captains vying for power had arisen to try to lift Lady Valarian from her perch using her lack of foresight and arrogance as a reason for her to be executed or abandoned. There were many deaths, yet the two DSE Members that remained seemingly loyal to her managed to keep their lives and were entrusted with a Valarian Compound in outer Sunfall. Stargazer and Kitani were now in. 
Leaving immediately for the Compound, the rigours of the last few days and lack of much needed expert medical attention was beginning to take its toll on Rhyley. Managing to enter the compound the two men placed a series of sliced feeds into the equipment, taping their message coding with surveillance bugs. Leaving quickly, the two journeyed to Kitani's Outpost, where upon initiating their surveillance, Stargazer collapsed from exhaustion, blood seeping from his mouth due to internal injuries. Rushed to the Medical Facility in Outmian Yakta, Stargazer went into surgery before being given a stint in the Bacta Tank. He would not wake for thirty-six hours.
Placed under constant guard, he awoke to find Atyphe at his side, her features a mixture of relief and anger. During their brief conversation, Kitani who had the news they wanted to hear for so long soon interrupted them. Finally, they knew which planet Caerwynn was being held upon. Deciphering what they could, Stargazer sent out a message to Rockatanski to assemble the personnel for an assault on Talus the very next day. Gathering in the Town Square, Rhyley stood giving orders to those gathering until a familiar woman entered the seen. At first he had little idea where he knew her from though as they conversed, and as her annoyingly demeaning tone irritated him, he soon realised that this Araiya Berilac, was one of the Jedi from Kashyyyk and her companion Saldena Wolfgang was surly one of their hooded number. Agitated, he allowed the two to help, having felt compassion for Saldena's plight and loss of her brother reminding him of his own lost brother, though only under his command.
=== Lost and Found ===
After initially gathering in the Town Square, Rhyley lead the band of rescuers mixed with Jedi, Security Personnel, Pilots, Entertainers and Mercenaries to the Corel Sector via the Rogue Star, Atyphe Vrydella's YT-1300 Freighter, Genesis, and Sentar'a Tengi's KSE Firespray, Radameer 13. Whilst waiting in orbit for clearance on the ground, Stargazer noticed a series of strange landing sites that they weren't given clearance to land at. Knowing that they couldn't be Imperial Restricted Landing Ports, Stargazer ordered Abaim Efeiwoi to slow the Landing Procedure whilst Kitani checked the ship signatures with those on the surface. Finding a match to the ship that had left Tatooine during the kidnapping, Rhyley sent a hidden transmission to the Genesis and Radameer 13, and blasted into the planet's atmosphere landing at the restricted site.
Upon landing the group were immediately besieged by Black Sun Personnel. A fierce blaster battle ensued upon eventually through perseverance they forced the Suns back and secured the Port. Having Marit Safin slice the terminals and Sentar'a Tengi upload all information from the consoles, Stargazer's group was soon joined by Imperials Captain Vor'en Mors and Cadet Sornamar Longbow. Though adding to the tension the group was all feeling, Stargazer used Mors' contacts to ascertain exactly where Caerwynn was being held and what sort of resistance they would find, they also found out that Prince Xizor was likely to enter the system in two hours. His gamble paid off, and the group lead a fast assault to the east upon a huge Black Sun Compound.
The assault was bloody and intense, the combined numbers hitting in a pincer movement slowly rained down on the compound, catching the Sun's Hunters and Personnel in between as the groups converged. Decreasing the numbers many of Stargazer's companions were injured, including 'Max Rockatanski who had managed to take a blaster shot to the armour around his neck, though somehow the valiant man fought on till they regrouped in front of the Compound where they finally saw Caerwynn Royce-Mors surrounded by the Black Sun's Prime Hunters and the woman most feared by all who oppose the Black Sun, Guri.
With the Hunters using Caerwynn as a shield they slowly backed away, staying calm and aiming as best he could, Stargazer held the Hunter in his cross-hairs till he saw a chance and opened fire, hitting the Hunter holding Caerwynn allowing the woman to make a daring run for safety. As soon as she was free, the others soon opened fire on the Hunters forcing them to retreat without their prize, though in the chaos of blaster fire a stray shot from Guri struck Caerwynn Royce, luckily due to the efforts of Berilac, she was not killed. Moving the injured back to their Camp, Stargazer allowed Kitani some time to procure some of the Black Sun terminals whilst securing the Compound. Once everyone was clear, the compound was destroyed and the group returned home to Outmian Yakta before the expected arrival of Prince Xizor.
=== Rebel without a Cause ===
Back in Outmian things returned almost to normality. Cravon was still missing but Rhyley had been happy with the progress Kitani had made and so tasked him with finding Intelligence on the Binayre Organisation hoping that there might be a strand of a clue hidden somewhere there. Able to spend more time with Atyphe, the two spoke of what their future held, Stargazer also used this time to end his tenure-ship in the apartment above S.S.I.'s Tatooine Showroom and take residence in Atyphe's homestead. Taking it upon himself to fulfil his promise to her, the couple journeyed to Anchorhead, where they met with a Rebel Contact who notified them of a place to meet with a Captain Wedge Antilles on New Plympto.
Though somewhat apprehensive of outright joining the Rebellion, the young Commander kept his nerve and followed Atyphe to the Rebel Base a few nights later. Meeting with Antilles, Atyphe was left stunned and confused over her parents, having heard that what the Imperials had informed her seemed to be a lie. Taken by her sadness, Rhyley asked if there was anything that they might be able to do, to find out the fate of her parents even offering to hand over any intelligence they might be able to attain should the Alliance help them on this. Antilles left the room allowing the couple to speak clearly of their future, and the lovers decided that now and together was the time for them to attack and secure their future by joining the Alliance.
Antilles soon rejoined the couple, instructing the two to return home and expect a message from Airen Cracken, Head of Alliance Intelligence regarding their request. The next few days all was quiet, the two managing to spend time again on Naboo as they waited for Alliance Intelligence to contact them or for Kitani to find information on the Binayre Organisation. It wasn't long till both the Alliance and Kitani made contact. Given information that Kitani had been somewhat unsuccessful as to his infiltration of the Binayre Organisation as well as highlighting continual trouble from CorSec during his stay on Corellia, Alliance Intelligence had passed on directives for the Stargazer and Vrydella to intercept a Pod in the Karthak System with further details as to their mission.
Rhyley Stargazer had now fully joined the Rebellion as an operative agent.
=== Attack of the Droids ===
With the knowledge that the pair needed to intercept a Pod, Stargazer and Vrydella immediately assigned themselves to a long chartered flight. Instead of using the normal DSE Freighter, the couple used Atyphe's repainted Genesis, re-coloured to look like a DSE Freighter and using the same coding as the company's flagship the Outmian Spectrum. With the Genesis they knew they could make the delivery time much faster, and thus intercept the Pod with no one being any the wiser. Their flight to Bespin and back kept Rhyley away from Outmian Yakta for two weeks, during that time he had assigned Abaim Efeiwoi to monitor and oversee the construction of Outmian Yakta's new Starport that had been funded by Dune Sea Enterprises.
Upon his return to Tatooine, Atyphe Vrydella immediately left for another chartered flight for Talon Karrde. Back home things seemed as normal as ever, Kitani still working on gathering Intelligence on Cravon's whereabouts and Rockatanski slowly increasing the numbers within the Security Force. Taking the chance to help train his pilots, Rhyley began a simple training mission aboard the Outmian Spectrum. With the training lasting the morning he and his pilots Abaim Efeiwoi and Quazaq Jappy returned back to Tatooine only to find Outmian in complete silence. Unable to test the Starport's new flight lanes or hail anyone in the Western Dune Sea, the men landed in Bestine and decided to journey back to Outmian Yakta on foot.
When they approached Outmian the group intercepted a Droid Patrol team. Surprised to find the droids in a low-risk quadrant of the town, Stargazer and the others approached the droids however as they made their way towards them and for no reason, the droids began to fire upon the group. With little chance of responding, Efeiwoi took many hits as the others eventually managed to put the droids down. With Abaim injured the men made their way slowly to the Medical Centre. As the group drew near they noticed that the Medical Centre and the new Security Office also seemed to be under guard by droids. Wondering if Rockatanski had initiated a training program for the his security team, Stargazer, Efeiwoi, Quazaq Jappy and the Wookie Geyarra worked with members from the 225th as well as Ixal Dorran in ridding the droids in front of the Med Centre and entering the building. 
Inside after converse between the men and Doctor Roseward it became apparent that these droids were not DSE's. With Electrical Equipment and Communications also proving dead and some accounts of DSE's own droids becoming rogue, the group split up to proceed with the rescue of the civilians in town. With Stargazer soon joined by Rockatanski, the men eventually freed those held in the Security Office before deciding on liberating some heavier armoury from Qookvat Eed's Warehouse. As they soon rejoined the two groups at the Hotel with the Cantina also having been liberated, the survivors of Stargazer's group, with Imperial Cadets and civilians spoke of a plan of action.
Deciding to try and find the source of this attack Stargazer lead a dangerous mission to liberate the Starport. With Taokan and Jappy drawing the fire off the Droidekas that guarded the Starport, and the Cadets and Civilians laying an ambush to rescue Taokan and Jappy, Stargazer sneaked Efeiwoi in to allow Abaim enough to time to slice the communications relays. With Efeiwoi's actions the droids were far less capable than they were previously. Eventually making their way back to the Medical Centre, Stargazer and those with him waited till DSE Security, Imperials and volunteer fighters helped to clear the rest of the city of the Rogue Droids.
=== Future Hopes ===
With the fires still burning in Outmian Yakta, and smoke rising up into the atmosphere following the destruction of the droids, Dune Sea Enterprises called together a meeting of it's senior personnel from all sections of the company. Stargazer sat as he heard insights and preparations suggested by his peers, often giving advice from his militaristic point of view. Discussing the need to form a safe haven, Stargazer would work closely with Hendar over a proposed outpost further north in the Dune Seas. Remote and secluded the site known locally as Mos Yaim, would prove an excellent hideout should the worst ever come to be. The young Commander also spoke with the Arms Dealer, Qookvat Eed, on acquiring more weaponry for the Squadron's Pilots.
In the coming days Stargazer would oversee his pilots initiate their first schemes. With Efeiwoi making the necessary changes to the Outmian Yakta Starport. Stargazer would also retrieve information regarding Pirate Activity in the Rishi System from Information Broker, Talon Karrde. Concerned at the closeness of this movement, Rhyley called upon his pilots and initiated a Reconnaissance Mission of the remote planet in the Outer Rim. It was not long before a wave of Black Sun Starfighters would come to greet them, and though outnumbered, the skill of the Commander as well as Atyphe Vrydella and Quazaq Jappy enabled the DSE Squadron to overturn their aggressors. After further scanning of the planet, it seemed that a new trouble was brewing.
Returning home to Outmian, Stargazer sat as the three pilots gave their thoughts on the situation, their worries that a planet such as Rishi if controlled by the Black Sun would prove to be further trouble for DSE on Tatooine, with Rishi almost it's immediate neighbour. Once Quazaq Jappy had left, Rhyley and Atyphe would further give their opinions, eventually the two deteriorating into a squabble over their duties. Their aggressive nature fuelled not only by their weary tiredness but also the rising concern the two weren't together nearly as much as they would like. As Stargazer listened to their words, his heart spoke as if by itself before his mind could think. Though Atyphe initially asked him to reconsider what he was asking, once the young man stated that no one could change his heart's desire and that his family would accept the person he loved regardless of her species, the female Twi'lek joyfully accepted and the two rejoiced in their shared love.
=== Outrunning Imperial Star Destroyers ===
In the days following, chaos would soon spread across DSE. Receiving a message from Raedan Kitani in regards to Outmian's security and the retrieval of high-quality security material, Stargazer decided to enlist himself as the Delivery Pilot, unsure as to Kitani's reasoning as well as certain that perhaps Kitani may have bought himself some trouble. With Royce herself intent on leading the tracking of the client, Soontir Efoom, responsible for the Droid Siege, Stargazer assigned B Class Pilots Abaim Efeiwoi and Quazaq Jappy to aid her until he had returned from helping Kitani.
Meeting with the DSE Intelligence and Information Broker in the Desert Nights Cantina, Kitani's men assembled before making their way to Stargazer's ship, the Rogue Star, which was docked at Outmian Yakta Spaceport. All the while watching the group for suspicious behaviour, as the ship entered space, Stargazer made preparations for the worst possible scenario, dumping his transponder signals and coding Tatooine Stations with a suggestive heading of the trade planet Bimmisaari, whilst the ship and it's people onboard actually entered hyperspace for their true destination on Corellia.
When exiting above Corellia, Imperial Star Destroyers filled his viewscreen. The large pointed vessels bombarding the planet surface. Immediately turning around, Kitani appealed to Stargazer going so far as to question his abilities. Annoyed at being used in such a way soon gave way to a sense of wanting to prove a point as he veered his ship back towards the planet. His reckless behaviour burning inside him as the adrenaline pumped around his body. Weaving through the blockade, Stargazer was soon swarmed with Imperial TIE Fighters, though using the ships hidden weapons facility, a large collection of TIEs were destroyed. Entering the Atmosphere of the planet, Stargazer along with those that were manned in his Turrets managed to finally outrun the Imperial TIE Fighters.
Seeing the area that had been bombarded with Imperial Artillery, Stargazer landed his vessel for the others to make their move. When they returned, the group were without Raedan Kitani who had been captured by Imperial Forces. With the arrival of more Imperial Military Forces, Stargazer and the others boarded the Rogue Star and left Corellia behind them, immediately jumping into Hyperspace once they had entered Orbit above the planet. Safe in Hyperspace, those onboard spoke of kidnappings and other ways to rescue Kitani. Though grief-stricken at losing his friend to the Empire, Stargazer mentioned nothing of what he knew of the Alliance to the group, merely pointing out the menace and danger of the Imperial War Machine.
=== Reunited ===
On Tatooine news soon emerged that the newly divorced Caerwynn Royce had been arrested for Murder. Torn between his duties to the Alliance and to DSE, Stargazer initially kept his distance from Royce, embarking as planned on his mission with Atyphe to secure Imperial Intelligence on Corellia. With the two newly affianced pilots concerned for the current state of the company and worried regarding the loss of Kitani and Royce, the mission took the utmost care in planning. Intercepting an Alliance Pod near New Plympto. Inside were Imperial Uniforms, Weapons and Identifications as well as read-outs of the base that were intended on infiltrating supplied by Alliance Intelligence.
Landing on Corellia, disguised as Imperial Personnel, the couple quickly adopted their new personas. Atyphe coloured in the Mild Grey Uniform also doctored her skin-tone to a human pink to further fool the Imperials around them. Stargazer was dressed in the Imperial Black Tunic known so commonly to those throughout the galaxy. Securing a vehicle, the two made their way through the Forests and Rockies to their target. Arriving at the base, security was uncommonly lax, allowing for easier infiltration. Waving their Imperial IDs, and following subsequent checks, Rhyley and Atyphe were soon in.
Immediately Rhyley went to work, updating the small amount of Intelligence the database had regarding Imperial Movements in the Arkanis Sector to his datapad. Curiously he checked the list of prisoners, and was surprised that by chance Kitani was on the list. Quickly telling Atyphe the two elaborated their guise as Imperial Pilots ordered to move prisoners to a new location. Making their way to Kitani proved easier than both had anticipated and it wasn't long till Raedan was in their custody. Just as the trio were about to leave, Vrydella checked the other cells to find another prisoner, beaten and bloodied though alive.
Appealing to Rhyley to help free this prisoner, the young man reluctantly agreed and began to secure the beaten man. Slowly as the three conversed, the elder man slowly looked up at Rhyley, mentioning Rhyley's name. At first Rhyley thought nothing of it, until the tone of the elder man's voice reminded him of something he had lost long ago. As Rhyley peered closer at the man's features, his bushy beard, rough and chaotic hiding his lower face framed with long brown locks, the young Stargazer looked closely at the man's eyes and almost immediately dropped him.
Rhyley had found his father.
His emotions in a swirl of hate, relief, anger and joy, Stargazer with tears building at the corners of his eyes looked to Atyphe to lead them out. A confidence grew on the female Twi'lek, assured as she spoke harshly to those Imperials that were on duty, questioning their conduct and informing them that she would report their poor standard to their superiors before ordering them to help her and Stargazer to move the prisoners onto their transport vehicle. With the Imperials jumping to her words, Stargazer, Vrydella along with Raedan Kitani and Taei Wynonyms were soon long gone from the Imperial Base and back aboard Rhyley's ship above Corellia.
=== Divided Loyalties ===
Returning to New Plympto Rhyley would confront his ally, Raedan Kitani over his seemingly arrogant and thoughtless behaviour, however with his mind on his father, their argument would not last long. For a man to see his father after such an ordeal, was truly heart-breaking for Rhyley. He knew that he no longer wanted to be in the company, DSE, that his place was by his father's side as he waited for his mother to arrive on New Plympto.
As Atyphe held the young Commander, Rhyley would watch, as the man would hover in and out of consciousness, writhing in agony as a series of test were performed on his frail body. He had never seen his father in such a way, the man he revered as unstoppable, as a strength that new no bounds was reduced to such a sad state filled him with anguish. There were so many questions he had wanted to ask his father, how he'd survived, what he had been through and if his brother might still be alive. Torn inside Rhyley would offer no support or assistance for Kitani, standing silently as Alliance Counter-Intelligence ushered the son of the Imperial Admiral, Wiltrain Kitani, into custody seemingly worried that he might be an Imperial Spy.
With Wynonyms and Kitani's fate unknown, Stargazer finally left New Plympto to return to Tatooine. Arriving on the sandy planet, he immediately called an emergency meeting of all the senior personnel. Surprised to find a message from Deianirrah Sevestis on Naboo, Rhyley would make the short trip to the planet, making certain to keep out of Imperial interests on the way to meeting the dancer. In Keren the two would meet and have a candid converse, with the female Twi'lek informing Stargazer as to her short tale of finding a way into the base (with Doctor Roseward) where Caerwynn Royce and her party were being held. Surprised to hear her words, Sevestis would further elaborate that Royce's arrest was in fact suspicious, and contested Caerwynn's innocence, citing that the woman had been framed.
With this newfound information, the meeting back on Tatooine was one that spoke of treason. For his most part, Rhyley sat in silence, still torn between fighting for the people around him and wanting to be at his father's side. They had managed to agree on a few things, the hope of making Caerwynn's case reach trial and the appointment of a legal representative was obvious and that Doctor Roseward and Deianirrah Sevestis would again go to the base as the Personal Doctor for Caerwynn Royce. However with no real possibilities as to who they would find for legal representation, Rhyley decided that he would form and place a small team on Naboo, that could act should it ever come to their worse fears. Leaving Tatooine, Rhyley made straight for Naboo where he would set a camp to the south of Keren not far from his and Atyphe's hidden home. Whilst on Naboo, the young man would receive a message from Tatooine informing him that Outmian Yakta had fallen under an Imperial Lock-down.
With his fears finally starting to realise, the young man arranged a meeting with the female Jedi, Araiya Berilac. Hoping that the Jedi might be able to know someone that could possibly help their situation or provide something that might allow them to get Royce and her party out of the situation, all that Rhyley found was further frustration. His one-sided and somewhat hardened stance on Force Sensitives eventually serving as a catalyst to end their discussion. With anger and resent rising in him due to his apparent disdain for the Jedi and all that they had become, Stargazer would quickly rendezvous on Tatooine, to lay the last preparations before his return to Naboo, where he would wait and hope.
=== Hidden Danger ===
On Naboo Rhyley would set his amp and keep in touch with the happenings on Tatooine. With Hendar and Atyphe both with him on the Imperial World the three would continually check in with those remaining elsewhere as to the current situation. Soon joined by both the Doctor and Deianirrah Sevestis it would not be long before they would try to instigate their plan. Briefing both of them in regards to what it was they needed to find out, Stargazer, Vrydella and Hendar would wait in silence for the return of Eleyenora Roseward and Deianirrah from the Imperial Base. Whilst they waited, events unfolding elsewhere soon dictated a path that none had ever thought would come to. On the expectancy that Caerwynn Royce and the others were waiting for a Shuttle to take them to a new holding in Theed, Imperial Stormtroopers would soon place themselves between the Camp and the Imperial Base, coming as close to the perimeter that Stargazer had set before holding their position.
Eventually they received a communication stating that a Shuttle had indeed collected Royce and the others, however that their course was Theed but Dathomir. Slowly the trio descended the Naboo hills, fighting Stormtroopers along the way before eventually making contact with Doctor Roseward and the female dancer, Sevestis. After securing the Doctor and Deianirrah, and listening to their tale, the group rushed back to Keren where Imperial Patrols further hampered them before eventually boarding Stargazer's YT1300 and blasting into space. In orbit, they were immediately swamped with RSF Starfighters, however were able to keep a safe distance from those that were interested in them. Scanning the sector they found the shuttle had indeed docked with a flotilla of transports before jumping to the Corellian System. Once above the home-world of Rhyley Stargazer, a further scan found their new destination heading, Dathomir.
Stargazer reluctantly held off any pursuit, and instead with those behind him wondering if they should try to go after Ms Royce, Rhyley turned his ship around and headed back to Tatoo, dropping Hendar, Deianirrah and the Doctor off in Outmian Yakta before going back to New Plympto to speak with his father, General Madine and Cracken over anything that they could possibly find out. The Alliance initially were concerned over such an act as to taking on an Imperial Blockade before staging a rescue attempt on the Imperial Prison, however with Stargazer appealing that he could gather intelligence on those currently held in the complex as well as helping to undo Imperial safety of the complex, perhaps leading to the possible rescue of Alliance Personnel, the Intelligence General Cracken eventually accepted. Passing over all intelligence that the Alliance had amassed for Dathomir as well as a way on planet added with the surprise that Raedan Kitani would be placed under his 'command' in the newly created Rebel Special-Operations Unit, Stargazer, Atyphe and Raedan returned to Tatooine, to call on those that would think of staging such a dangerous operation.
=== Breaking Out ===
Arriving on Tatooine, with Kitani and Vrydella waiting in orbit for him to return with a few others, Rhyley would meet with the returning Quazaq Jappy. Having been warned to Jappy's honesty and integrity, Stargazer ordered the man to take a leave of absence for a few days till the recent events had been settled. Soon joined by Max, Deianirrah and Hendar, the three discussed their future path, Max stating the aid of Security Personnel for such a dangerous operation as well as the Doctor and Qookvat Eed both deciding on aiding their captive friends. Making their way to board the disguised Imperial Mining Transport, the group then jumped into Imperial controlled Dathomir space.
With a Blockade of Star Destroyers and Cruisers surrounding them, Stargazer with the aid of Vrydella would sneak by the Imperial ships under the guise of an Imperial Mining Transport using stolen codes to further cement their hopeful operation. Touching down on the surface, the smoggy atmosphere making it hard to breath, the group would then make their way across the surface to the Imperial Prison. Eventually splitting into two teams, Rhyley would spearhead an attack on the complex with Max, Xanando and Qookvat. Once inside having fought past numerous guards and troopers, the group reconvened at the entrance and were joined by Melai. Further leading on, Stargazer allowed Atyphe to lead the rescue of the captives as his group secured a way out. Finding an Imperial Shuttle, Rhyley and Qookvat would defeat the forces surrounding it before boarding the vessel and preparing it for take off.
With their path out secure, Rhyley alone would head into the complex to secure the Imperial Data as requested by Alliance Intelligence, as well instigate the Defensive Operations shutdown to allow those inside the prison to escape. Returning to the Shuttle, Rhyley would wait eventually for the rescue party to return with the captives before boarding and lifting away from the complex. With the Blockade spewing blaster fire at the Lambda Shuttle and a swarm of TIE Fighters chasing them, Stargazer and Atyphe made a series of short jumps around the Dathomir System, before then jumping to Dantooine and eventually Lok before finally landing. On the dusty planet, Stargazer would lead the injured to the Medical Facility before securing rooms in the hotel inside the confines of the city. Once certain they were as safe as he could provide, Stargazer made contact with the Alliance to update situation and then Norssohn to apprise him of their current status.
=== Assembling Allegiances ===
On Lok, it wasn't long till the group was again on the move. From the suggestion of Caerwynn Royce, the group moved from the protection of Nym, to the established retreat used by the Kingdom of Honour. With Ms Royce having had close ties with those in Honour as well as it the Kingdom's Liege, the group made the short trip across the planet surface and fell under the protection of a Royal House that was known to have it’s sympathies tied to the Rebellion. During this time many of those that had been part of the rescue or indeed those that had been held captive pondered their next move individually, as well as gave thought to their stance on the Galactic Civil War. Rhyley stayed withdrawn from their discussions as much as he could, not wanting to give himself away, or to try to influence their decisions with his own beliefs.
Once their place in Honour was assured, Rhyley, Atyphe and Raedan Kitani would leave those in the group behind before making the short trip to New Plympto. There Rhyley would debrief his Commanding Officers and listen to the current status of his operation. Listening intently he would find further insight into the troubles of Outmian and Tatooine before learning that his own father would be taking a more active role in the Rebellion as a Special Operations Major, commanding Rhyley Stargazer's own Special Operations Force. Surprised as well as glad that his father was seemingly on the road to full recovery, the young Stargazer would again confide his fears and hope in Atyphe, where he would tell of her of the constant nightmare that had been haunting his sleep. Whilst torn with his feelings over the Jedi and Force, it was Atyphe who encouraged the young Corellian to accept his Force Abilities and learn what he could from it.
Returning to Lok, Rhyley would find out about Doctor Roseward's own dual life, having been part of Alliance Intelligence she herself had remained in Outmian over-watching the increasing struggle as she had previously anticipated. Stargazer would also learn of a collection of data regarding the Jedi hidden across Outmian. Learning that it was one of the major reasons for the Imperial Bombardment of the City as well as the possibility that their continual struggle from oppressors like the Black Sun among others could be due to this hidden data. Helping Norssohn to retrieve Caerwynn Royce's adoptive daughter from Outmian, the young Commander would listen to the female redhead about the tale of Mareena Moondancer and the Imperial Lab on Rori. Disgusted with the decision to hide the data amongst the innocents in the city, Rhyley tried as best he could to hide his growing mistrust and anger for Caerwynn Royce and those that had decided to take such an action, whilst trying to put an end to this conflict.
=== Extorting the Oppressors ===
Deciding to follow a trail laid by the dead client Soontir Efoom, Stargazer along with the rested Taokan Ovayami and the Mandalorian, Hendar Gahn, grouped with his companions Atyphe and Raedan to begin an investigation into the missing signal in Moenia. Under the guise of Spacers and Mercenaries, the group split into two before trying to find clues as to who was behind the lost signal in the foggy city on Naboo. Soon after they had arrived, Taokan and Rhyley would find strange occurrences of abandoned buildings that had obviously been used to house signals previously. However it wasn't long and without warning Atyphe and Raedan were ambushed, but fortunately due to their armour, quick thinking and training the group managed to see off their attackers.
With more evidence mounting in Moenia of a mass cover-up, the group would happen upon a trail for a Devaronian that may lead to the answers the group was looking for. Eventually re-grouping in the Cantina, Rhyley and his companions weren't allowed admittance into the back rooms. Knowing that something must hidden within that they would need, a shady Rodian offered them a hint to finding the Devaronian they had been searching. Wandering from the city Stargazer and the others would come across a bunker, and in front the Devaronian they had been searching for. Outnumbered the Devaronian quickly surrendered his knowledge as well as the pass-key for the bunker.
Inside the bunker, the damp facility was crawling with modified combat droids of all shapes and sizes. Intrigued, the group would venture further in their hope of finding further clues. Slicing numerous terminals the group soon began to piece together what had happened to Efoom and who was really behind the attacks on Outmian. With data in hand and the answers they needed, the group would leave the bunker, immediately heading back to the Cantina for a showdown with the real-mastermind behind Soontir Efoom...Borvo the Hutt. There he and Atyphe would blast their way into Borvo's sealed room, killing his guards and attendants in a show of callous bravado. With evidence of Borvo's attempt to ruin Outmian in-league with Prince Xizor among others in an selfish attempt to destroy his Borvo's main opponent, Jabba the Hutt, Stargazer would extort Borvo to reveal everything regarding the Efoom character, the Droid Siege, and the fact that Black Sun were instigating the attacks. It was there that Stargazer first found out that the Black Sun had been dealing with the Empire, as well as receiving aid.
=== Hidden Truths ===
With this news Rhyley returned immediately to New Plympto to inform his Superiors as to his findings. With their shock and dismay, Stargazer would be ordered to use all possible avenues to retrieve this data for the Alliance. With an increasing feeling within him that he no longer had any loyalty to the Company he had worked for over the last few months, Rhyley understood the severity of the task at hand. It was also here that Rhyley would spend time with his parents and find out the reasoning for why they had shielded him from the knowledge of his force abilities.
With the shock admission from his parents regarding not only his but also his brother's Force Sensitivity, Rhyley returned to Honour on Lok, to report his findings in Moenia to Royce and the others. Finding the Jedi already in audience, Rhyley would watch and listen as the Jedi produced the original footage of the Assassination of Efoom, indicating Royce's innocence. With this revelation and the news of a clue to finding Cravon Wolfgang as well as his findings in Moenia, the group decided on contacting the Deymous woman whom had been instigating the framing of Caerwynn, Taokan and Abaim in a hope to bargain for the group's freedom in return for not using this footage to damage the Empire. They would also put into play a plan to have the data hidden in Outmian Yakta retrieved. Along with Atyphe, Rhyley would deliver an encrypted message to Bai'yle Norssohn before returning to Lok and waiting for Norssohn and Sibie Omiel to carry out their task.
It wasn't long until Norssohn and Omiel carried out their tasks on Tatooine and retrieved the Data from Outmian Yakta. Rejoining Stargazer and the others on Lok, Rhyley finally had in possession the Data that the Empire seemed so desperate for. Returning immediately to the Alliance to safely deliver the Encrypted Data to Rebel Intelligence, Rhyley would agree to take Taokan Ovayami home to Ithor. As he stood motionless watching silently as his friend disappeared over the horizon of the alien world Ithor, Rhyley wondered if he would see his kind friend again. The pair had been through a lot together in a short period of time, and yet since the Rescue on Dathomir, the Ithorian had seemingly found a confidence. It wasn't long till he desired to return home, with renewed spirit and vigour to help his kinsman find the fires in their hearts and begin the long arduous path of re-igniting a rebellion on the exotic planet.
===Following the Trail===
On his arrival to Tatooine, with mixed feelings over his departure from Outmian and his resignation from Dune Sea Enterprises stirring his emotions, Stargazer was soon called to a meeting with Raedan regarding the whereabouts of Cravon Wolfgang and the Data they had been able to attain from Borvo the Hutt. With everyone that had been on Lok now safely on Outmian, the next priority for those in the Company was to search and rescue the Mayor of Outmian Yakta. During the meeting Rhyley sat, offering his advice and insight as Raedan devised a plan to infiltrate a Black Sun Orbital Station at Nar Shaddaa.
Days later Rhyley would help Raedan put his plan into play, piloting his ship and taking those in Raedan's party to Nar Shaddaa, before heading the Black Sun Orbital Station. Using the stolen codes that Erisey Casoona had managed to slice, and the expertise of Kileo Dimoh who had been hired as a Communications Officer for the sole purpose of the operation, Stargazer managed to successfully get Raedan and his party onto the Station. Whilst there Stargazer would keep the ship ready for their eventual hasty retreat, once Erisey had managed to retrieve further data regarding Wolfgang.
As they jumped to safety, in a bid to throw their pursuers, Stargazer made a short jump to Bothawui. There they came face to face with the Midnight Express, the Personal Ship of Cravon Wolfgang. Quickly disabling, Araiya Berilac and Quazaq Jappy boarded the Ship to find a woman that looked exactly the same as the Black Sun Hand, Guri. Once brought on-board, Rhyley checked on the progression of Berilac to come face to face with the woman that had seemed to be a constant antagonist in their plans. Immediately he pulled a blaster on the woman, before she was eventually moved into the Medical Bay of the Rogue Star where Doctor Roseward began her own interrogation of the woman.
Soon it became clear that this woman was not Guri like they had thought, however her reluctance to provide them with information regarding Cravon's current status, would see the group keep the unknown woman in holding.
===Bonds and Friendship===
With the 'Fake Guri' in custody within Outmian's Security Cells, those that had returned took their time to investigate their findings on Nar Shaddaa. Stargazer himself focused on his ship, not expecting to stay in Outmian Yakta for too long till their next voyage, the young Commander began re-fitting new systems on-board. Spending the majority of his time working kept his mind from wandering onto topics that was causing conflict within him. The loss of Max was beginning to cause him concern having gone for so long since he last spoke to his friend. The elongated time he had spent away from Atyphe had also begun to cause him distress, the feeling of loneliness again surfacing in his soul. To help him forget about his worries, Stargazer would spend the night in the local Cantina.
There the buzz of activity helped him take his minds of other things. The talk of the possible Spicers in town was debated between himself and Caerwynn, Eleyenora and Raedan. Soon he would meet the Medic Jaht Sparks, whom he would offer a position within the squadron to, along with other newcomers to Outmian Sarparious Serpentus the Trandoshan and Kileo Dimoh, as well as meeting Slugoshi Bin who had helped Raedan on Nar Shaddaa. The batch of new faces gave him hope that Outmian and Dune Sea Enterprises especially were finally turning a new page. However his talks with Caerwynn Royce further caused a conflict with his hope of leaving Outmian, her broken spirit causing him to re-think his plans.
The next day he had planned to again try to interrogate the female in their custody however soon a darker more brooding side to Stargazer began to erupt. Soon the young Commander became ill tempered, often cutting others short in converse even becoming angry with them for no apparent reason. Unknown to him, his bond with Aniwevei again was causing to stir in him, her own path covered in darkness was reflecting in Stargazer's mood. During his interrogation, Stargazer would use threatening behaviour, yet before he managed to extract any information from the woman, the female became hysterical. After trying to restrict her in case she caused herself harm, Stargazer stormed out of the room, leaving Araiya Berilac and Quazaq Jappy alone with the woman. Overseeing Security feeds upstairs and not able to see a point for why the woman would become so irrational, Araiya would finally deliver news from the 'Fake Guri' on Cravon's whereabouts, Coruscant.
===The Vertical City===
Immediately he along with Raedan Kitani and Quazaq Jappy made the journey to Coruscant via the Corellian Slip. Once there he, along with his companions managed to scout out the Glory of Palpatine Hotel that Cravon Wolfgang was supposedly housed in. Managing to catch a glimpse of the Mayor of Outmian, the three men watched as Security of Coruscant's bustling Imperial City almost overwhelmed them from a spectatorial view. The rescue they realised would be hard, yet with little knowledge on what Cravon is doing there, or if he was to be moved in the coming weeks, it became apparent that they might have to stage one of the most ambitious rescues yet.
Using Rae's ability to slice into the terminals at the starport, the men had managed to ascertain that the usual traffic in and out of the Imperial City was to continue. Looking for another way in, the three men using Fake IDs managed to enter one of the prestigious clubs in the Red District. Even with Stargazer's charm at wooing the females inside, and Raedan's ability to seemingly endeavour himself to the male clientele in the club, what they found out led to nothing. With little hope but to try and tap into the Hotel Security, Raedan sliced his way into find...Nothing. No plans for removal, no plans for trips or even re-locations. In-fact Wolfgang and his party seem to have been housed there for quite sometime as the booking from a unknown source have taken his Suite on an unending lease.
With this information, Stargazer turned his attention to the Imperial Capital's Security. If they were going to break Wolgang out, then in all likelihood they'd incur the wrath of not only Coruscant's Finest Stationed Police Force, not only those in the Black Sun, but also the Empire. Back aboard the Rogue Star on the way back to Tatooine, with Jappy in the cockpit and removed from their conversation, Rhyley and Raedan devised a plan to put two teams onto Coruscant with the hope of rescuing the Mayor of Outmian Yakta, Cravon Wolfgang.
===Chased Across the Imperial City===
Making plans to retrieve Cravon Wolfgang from Coruscant, Rhyley Stargazer instigated his plans with those that were assembling in Outmian Yakta. Having personally hired Kileo Dimoh and Sarparious Serpentus for the task, he would assign Quazaq Jappy to lead the rescue of Cravon Wolfgang, Rhyley would lead Raedan Kitani, Caerwynn Royce and the Mandalorian, Hendar, on a dangerous mission to try and keep the heat off Jappy and his team. After meeting with Qookvat Eed in Outmian Yakta, the quartet soon head off for Coruscant in the hope of seeing their plan come to fruition.
Their journey to the surface of Coruscant would prove difficult. After joining the long queues of the many lanes above the planet to land, the group were hailed by Coruscanti Space Control and asked to deviate from their heading to board an Imperial Star Destroyer for an Inspection. Frantically the group hid everything that might be incriminating below foot in the hidden storage compartments, before hiding both Raedan and Hendar there as well. Using the idea that he and Caerwynn were star crossed lovers, the two met with an Imperial Officer, and were able to display an impressive façade of Captain Egotiste and Lover as they were allowed to re-continue their journey to Coruscant.
Landing on the planet, the quartet quickly moved off, with Rhyley and Caerwynn taking the easier route through the many levels of the Entertainment District, Raedan and Hendar would make their way via a less conventional route needing to abseil a few levels before making their way through some of the darker more insidious levels of Coruscant’s murky underworld. Reconvening the group made way to Senate Quadrant, waiting for Raedan to slice the Security surrounding the area to lay their small explosive device before vacating quickly.
The explosion boomed the areas around them as they sped off. Taking a dive into the Residential Quadrant to lose the local security forces, Rhyley used a local contact to hide out and change their appearance to further fool the security patrols searching for them. Completely disguised, the group slipped into the Commercial District where they came face to face with Guri. Trying to lose her in a club proved ill fated however Hendar and Raedan managed to evade capture.
Taken to the famous Black Sun Skyhook, Rhyley and Caerwynn awaited another showdown with Prince Xizor as Raedan and Hendar staged a daring rescue. With the four able to kill the guards aiding Guri, the young assassin and right hand of Prince Xizor was too much for the group. With their backs against the wall, the trusty droid, Emfive remote steered the Rogue Star and was able to prevent the group from being killed. Quickly boarding the Star, Rhyley piloted the ship away from the Falleen's Fist and Coruscant. Chased by CSF, Imperials and Black Sun alike, the ship jumped as soon as it got new coordinates.
===City Among the Clouds===
The short jump to Corulag from Coruscant seemed to buy enough time for Stargazer and his companions to breathe; though no sooner had they arrived in orbit above Corulag did an Imperial Carrack-Class Cruiser arrive, matching the same details and codings as the one above Coruscant. Frantically working the controls to evade a barrage of blaster fire, Kitani worked with Emfive as they uploaded the next of their few jumps across the galaxy in an effort to outrun the Empire. With Caerwynn Royce seated alongside him in the cockpit desperately trying to aid Stargazer in his efforts to out manoeuvre the impending attacks, their conflict was soon joined by the XTS Vigo Gunship Black Hand, flagship of Guri. With Corulag's own Imperial Defences soon firing at the Rogue Star, the battle-worn YT-1300 shuddered ferociously as it took hit after hit. With Stargazer and Royce doing their best, Kitani finally managed to upload their new co-ordinates before jumping again.
Unfortunately their new location was Byss. With Rhyley cursing at Kitani through the ship's inter-comm. system, Royce continued to try and divert as much power to the ship's shielding system as a flood of TIE Fighters swarmed on them. Taking the vessel dangerously close to the planet's atmosphere, Stargazer lured the unassuming TIE Fighters closer to the gravity well of the dark planet, pulling the Imperial Starfighters towards the surface and destroying them in the process. With little hope left and in a desperate move, Stargazer made a blind jump.
With their destination unknown, the three companions waited with bated breath as the ship re-entered real-space. In the view-port was the planet Phu. Making certain to check every vessel in their close proximity, the three wasted no time in preparing for another jump, this time to Yag'Dhul before finally making their way along the Corellian Trade Spine to their final destination and rendezvous at the Cloud City above Bespin.
Landing at the Mining Station, Stargazer withdrew from the others. Opting to tend to his injured body and look over the ship that had somehow managed to get them out of a dire situation. Finally the young Commander was soon joined by Lando Calrissian, then man Norssohn had spoken of. After a short converse, Rhyley made his way to join the others, finding Erisey in tears with Sarparious trying in vain to console her. Waving the tall Trandoshan away, Rhyley spoke gently with her, trying to allay her fears and concerns. Holding her, reminded him of the times he had spent as a child with his sister.
Eventually as the tears subsided, Rhyley would soon see Cravon Wolfgang, the man it had taken so long to rescue. Glad to see him, the joy was short lived as Wolfgang spoke of the woman Rhyley had interrogated. With nothing to hide, Rhyley spoke his truth and seemed to appease Wolfgang, at least for now. Soon he would end upstairs, and would talk with Caerwynn and Raedan regarding their mission, and Sarparious' insight into Quazaq Jappy. As the three spoke of their concerns, they began making plans for a new future.
===Losing Everything===
Upon returning to Outmian Yakta their troubles still remained. The sudden emergence of Imperial Agent, Tail'a Deymous left those within Outmian with theirs concerns raised, and it was not long before their fears became true. A body delivered to Outmian's Medical Centre in a decrepit and decayed state; obviously the victim of intense burnings was identified as Security Chief Max Rockatanski. The loss of such a good friend to Rhyley was earth shattering.
With the tears still wet upon their cheeks, the sudden loss of Max held in their hearts, Tail'a Deymous began to weave an intricate plot of destroying the company of Caerwynn Royce and Cravon Wolfgang. Realising their inadequacy at protecting their city and lives effectively, Rhyley along with Caerwynn and Cravon made drastic changes to the Security of the City and created the Outmian Security Force, of which Rhyley was placed in command.
However it was not long before Rhyley would leave Outmian Yakta again. This time, when the news came through, delivered by his friend Kileo, that his lover's ship Genesis, had been reported missing, Rhyley took flight in search.
===Searching for Love===
Jumping away from Outmian Yakta, Rhyley made straight for the last known location of the Genesis. Unable to find out anything at these coordinates, he mapped out a possible series of jumps that Atyphe may have taken, using her last known trajectory, everything seemed to point towards the Core and Corellia. Contacting his father Taei Wynonyms, grandfather Gern Stargazer and friend Corran Horn, Rhyley did everything he could to continue in his search. With the continuous rigours spent on his body the young man rested at Arkania.
The strange dreams he had whilst there, disturbed his sleep. With nothing turning up in the Corellian Space Sectors, Rhyley decided to re-map her route from her initial destination of Belderone. On his way there, Rhyley had to exit hyperspace before the Roche Asteroids. Filled with the sensation of heading towards Onderon, Rhyley trusted his instincts and made his way, entering Onderon Space before landing on the remote moon of Dxun. There in the dank atmosphere, Rhyley would stumble across a grave, where a Force Spirit would reveal itself to Rhyley.
Listening to the tale of Ulic Qel-Droma, not knowing that Rhyley was indeed a descendant of the former Jedi Master, Stargazer was eventually caught up by those from OSF, led by Kileo Dimoh and Erisey Casoona. Convincing him to turn back home, the young commander was left feeling a loss unlike no other.
===Heart and Duty===
Still unable to bear the loss of two people in Outmian, Rhyley began to close himself off from his usual cadre of friends. Only ever opening up to Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani, the young commander became reclusive, barely a glimpse of his normal brash bravado.
It was during this time that Rhyley grew close to Kileo. He would often joke and talk with her before the two would begin flirting, further helping him to deal with his wife’s disappearance. Realising that he was starting to fall for the Nubian, Stargazer soon felt riddled with guilt, and as a result allowed Raedan’s plan to use Kileo to spy on Quazaq Jappy who was considered an informant to the Empire.
With worries that he was betraying Atyphe, and whether he would see her again, Stargazer confided with a few trusted people in Outmian. Deciding he could no longer remain in the city and home with his wife missing, Rhyley decided to take a string of missions away from Tatooine, using the extended flight time to carry on his search for Atyphe and to distance himself from Kileo.
With Norssohn along for the journey, the two men began their deliveries on Corellia, witnessing yet more Imperial injustices on their home planet, before retrieving their cargo and leaving the planet quickly. Scanning along the way for any sign of Genesis Stargazer dropped the Cargo at Belderone and again was forced to watch as corrupt politicians extorted the weak population. Taking a detour via the Tion Cluster and making plans for a possible mission in the future, Rhyley would finally land at Mon Calamari. Meeting with an Alliance Sympathiser on the watery world, Stargazer aided with the smuggling of Mon Calamari Officials from the grasp of the Empire, leading them to safety on Chandrila.
Spending some short time with his family, Rhyley made his last call at Cloud City in Bespin before finally returning home to Outmian Yakta.
==Future in Motion (5 ABY to 6 ABY)==
===Darkest Moment===
His return to Outmian after being gone for a few months resulted in a near catastrophic incident for the young commander. With OSF being formally handed back to his command, one of the first details he would have to deal with was the information regarding Quazaq’s role in betraying Caerwynn to the Empire. With Raedan informing him that Kileo had been unsuccessful in learning anything new, and had in fact started dating the considered informant, infuriated and frustrated the Corellian pilot, having secretly been jealous ordered Raedan to keep trying, hoping that Raedan would find anything to break Kileo and Quazaq up.
Soon after, the city would suddenly fall under attack of Tusken Raiders. Deciding to tackle the problem himself, Caerwynn Royce insisted on aiding him. Travelling north the pair found that the sensors in the north of the city had been attacked. With more commotion coming from the warehouse sector of the city, Rhyley and Caerwynn quickly made their way back to see the city's Power Generators awash with flame. Quick thinking enabled the OSF to respond immediately, dousing the flames and investigating the attack in the north.
Though no sooner had they begun to lick their wounds, was another emergency sounded, this time at the Medical Centre. With the threat of a chemical release evident, Rhyley and Caerwynn braved their own health to make sure the building was fully evacuated before seeing a message clearly intended for them written in blood upon the walls of the Medical Centre. With Imperial Forces arriving to help aid the city and calm its population, Rhyley would return to his speeder triggering the detonation of a remote explosion, critically injuring Rhyley.
With the response of both Imperial Medic Weekat Matiren and Raedan Kitani, Rhyley was pulled away from the billowing inferno and rushed to Wayfar Medical Centre. There the young commander would lose his left arm, the damage suffered far too extreme to rescue his limb. With a ghastly cybernetic replacement attached, Rhyley Stargazer finally woke hours later. OSF immediately launched a full-scale investigation, led by Raedan Kitani.
===Union===
The aftermath of this event pulled Stargazer and his allies closer than ever. With Bai'yle Norssohn returning immediately to Outmian Yakta, it wasn't long before Taei Wynonyms had also journeyed to the remote planet of Tatooine, with a family doctor in tow in order to change Rhyley's metallic aid to a synthetic replicant limb. However returning home to Outmian from Wayfar would bring the biggest surprise of all, as Atyphe appeared.
Reunited with his lover the two enjoyed a tender moment in front of Outmian's Medical Centre. With the city now on full alert, Rhyley would undergo surgery to have his arm replaced with a more humane variant. Slowly getting to full fitness he and Atyphe would spend precious moments recounting their tales away from the other. With her own dark story regarding her disappearance, Rhyley again exclaimed his undying affection for the woman.
With another attack aimed at him, in the Cantina, this time however with Sarparious Serpentus shielding the Commander from the majority of the impact, inflicting grave injuries on the Trandoshan, it appeared that Rhyley's return to Outmian Yakta had been just in time as a new threat dawned. Using their connections with Talon Karrde, Kitani and Royce launched an infiltration into two southern facilities that were earmarked as possible threats, only to witness the suicidal act of a known Jabba Captain Shinn.
It was during this time of conflict that Rhyley decided to finally get married to Atyphe, hoping that the event would help to quell his insecurities about his relationships with various women, none more so than Kileo who had finally informed him that she was dating Quazaq Jappy. With both the Groom and Bride being congratulated by their family and friends, the celebrations were one of happiness and adulation, aboard a Yacht looking out over the Corellian Glare.
===Stargazing===
Having finally married Rhyley would make one last order before leaving Outmian on his Honeymoon. With concerns that Quazaq was still informing their illegal activities to the Empire, and still jealous of Jappy’s relationship with Kileo, even though now married, Stargazer decided to offer the pair a mission to Naboo in order to clear Quazaq’s name.
The mission itself was kept a secret to the pair who was merely informed to be ready to leave for Naboo at a moment’s notice, even though the operation would actually aid the Rebellion, neither of who was a member. With the couple leaving, Rhyley gave a hint to his feelings for Kileo to Raedan and Bai’yle, both of who were dismayed and ordered him to immediately leave Outmian.
With Atyphe and he leaving Tatooine, the two newly weds make a quick detour before starting their well-earned honeymoon. With Rhyley still none the wiser as to who would try to take a shot at him not once, but twice as it appears, the couple head off for a showdown with the man Corran Horn has implied may know far more than they realise, Thrackan Sal-Solo.
The pair manage to sneak onto Corellia due in part to old friendships however they soon find out that things aren't going to be so easy for them. Finding out Sal-Solo is in touch with Imperial Fleet Command Personnel, Stargazer and Stargazer get called in by Alliance Navy Commodore Adar Tallon. Fore-Warned that they are not able to apprehend Sal-Solo due to Alliance Intelligence Operations, the newly weds are sent to Vreni Island. There they see Alliance Personnel working with a local Resistance Group in trying to stop an Imperial Sanctioned Slaver Trade.
However all is not as it seems. Soon the Island falls under heavy attack after the realisation of traitor within the number on Vreni Isle. Managing to evacuate the Isle, the couple lead those that were stranded on the Isle to a hidden locale and contact the Alliance for a Pick-Up. Whilst waiting both Rhyley and Atyphe make their way to apprehend the Traitor, following him to a Detention Centre where they find more Alliance Captives. Able to kill the traitor, Rebel Captain Maran, Rhyley and Atyphe Stargazer leave the Centre, informing the alliance of their findings before finally getting some time alone.
Taking his wife to the lush planet of Alakatha, known across the Core as a wondrous location ideal for lover's breaks and honeymoons, Rhyley and Atyphe spend time amongst the exuberant valleys. However not long before they arrive, does Rhyley begin acting strange. Lead by an unknown feeling the young man unknowingly leads his wife to a hidden Sith Temple. There they confront the terrors of the Dark Side and open their eyes to a much larger world.
===Dark Truths===
After being embroiled in a devious plot by Alliance Captain Maran who had switched his allegiance to that of the Empire, the newly wed couple have now been given a mission to save the lives of those that were betrayed by Maran. Formulating an elaborate plan to return to Corellia, the companions intercept a CorSec Patrol Shuttle and make it onto Corellia.
There they make their way to the Detention Centre, where the ferocity of their attack proves decisive in allowing them access into the Centre, however once there not all is as it seems. As they make their way through, they find prisoner bodies still in cells char-grilled to crisp. With no survivors, the Commandos retrieve data before destroying the complex and making a hasty retreat to an Underground Hidden Rebel Resistance Force. Eventually they are able to leave Corellia but with more questions than answers.
Returning to Outmian they arrived in time as Erisey finally returned from her mission to Naboo with the aid of Kileo and Quazaq along with Bai’yle and Caerwynn, effectively clearing Jappy’s name. Bringing with her highly vindictive intelligence reports from Naboo regarding the state of affairs on Corellia, implicating that the Empire is on the verge of a mass genocide act, Stargazer has barely enough time to react as Jabba calls for Caerwynn Royce and the rest of OSF to enter his court for a showdown.
Apprehensive, Caerywnn, Rhyley, Raedan and Sarparious make their way to the Palace with the city under the protection of Erisey, Kileo and Sle-Twe. As Caerwynn arrives at the Palace, Jabba is already in thunderous mood due to what he has seen as an attack by DSE. Forcing Caerwynn to sit at his side as one of his slave dancers, Sarparious and Raedan manage to make the situation worse, by convincing the Hutt that DSE should be under the Hutt's control, and that the man partly responsible for the assaults, Raedan Kitani, should be fed to the Sarlacc Pit.
Returning to Outmian to inform his allies, Rhyley and Atyphe immediately head to Mos Eisley and a meeting with Talon Karrde. Though the Information Broker is coy as to what he knows is going on, he gives the Stargazers a place to start looking, and Rhyley would assign Erisey and Kileo to begin monitoring Valarian’s network in Mos Eisley.
===All or Nothing===
Using the Information recovered from Talon, Erisey and Kileo, DSE knows that something is happening in Mos Espa and Mos Entha as well as finally a name that could help them, Hado Sanada. With DSE Spies in both Mos Espa and Mos Entha not able to turn up any information, Rhyley makes a bold move and decides to go find this Hado Sanada upon the Smugglers Moon, a city-planet that is under the control of the Hutts.
Arriving there, Rhyley allows a team to break away from him, hoping that his presence will make attackers more interested in him than the team of Atyphe, Sarparious, Kileo and Aindreas. With the team making contact with various people, they stumble across a foul-mouthed green skinned man in the Cargo Areas. Trying to intimidate the man into supplying possible answers, Sarparious stabs him, only to watch the green skinned man pull the knife in critically deep, killing him instantly.
With the area then going on high alert, the group have to fight their way off Nar Shaddaa and rendezvous with Rhyley on Bimmisaari. There the team realise the man they just murdered, was in fact Hado Sanada, the man Rhyley ordered them to find and apprehend. Now with things at such a worse state than they already were, and with Gardulla the Younger now boiling for whoever blood it was that just blew her Cargo Area up and killed at least a dozen or so of her men, Rhyley Stargazer returns to Nar Shaddaa alone, hoping that he can find anything that might help his friends back on Tatooine.
Landing at the Spacebarn, owned by an acquaintance Shug Ninx, the young man is set upon by the fierce Bounty Hunter Bossk. Almost losing his life, Stargazer is saved by an elderly woman that refers to herself as Vima. There under her guidance he learns how to use the Force, before meeting with another Information Broker and finally having some answers. With a run to the Kessel Mines, Rhyley comes face to face with those that have had a hand in their recent troubles. With the old woman disappearing from his sight, Rhyley made his way back towards the entrance, however a sudden attack of Energy Spiders, hindered his retreat having to battle continuously for over a day to stay alive, as the Spiders ran riot inside the mines. Nearing exhaustion, Rhyley managed to get to the exit of the mine, where he rested until surprisingly being rescued by Atyphe, Raedan, Erisey, Sarparious, Sle-Twe and two new members of OSF.
===Undoing the Damage Done===
With Rhyley aboard the Genesis, Atyphe lead their way back to Tatooine, in a race against time to rescue Caerwynn Royce and Kileo Dimoh from Jabba the Hutt, with Kileo having taken the place of Raedan Kitani in Jabba’s. Upon their return to Outmian Yakta, the city was raised on full alert status, all security personnel assigned to guard the city as they prepared to journey to Jabba's Palace. Unexpectedly an Unknown Fleet exited hyperspace, with Cruisers landing at the Palace. Knowing they were most likely walking into a trap, Stargazer made the decision to evacuate the Citizens to Mos Yaim'la.
With preparations complete, Stargazer along with Kitani, Deianirrah Sevestis, Sarparious, Sle-Twe Elo and Rymel Trysinh travel to the Palace. Entering Rhyley berated Jabba to get the Hutt interested. With the sudden appearance of Gardulla the Younger, Rhyley kept his nerve and with Jabba wanting to know what Stargazer had, the young commander played the recording they acquired in front of a hostile Throne Room. Jabba seeing that Fortuna and others were involved in a plot to kill him and grab the slug's power, had both Bib Fortuna and Gardulla the Hutt and her men captured by Jabba's Guard.
With Caerwynn and Kileo now free, Rhyley made a rush along with Cravon for the Cruisers in orbit, hoping to steal the spoils of Gardulla's ships. Attacking them with their squadron before the two personal freighters of Wolfgang and Stargazer initiated their attacks and succeeded in halting any withdrawal from Tatooine by the Fleet. A quick return, found that Bai'yle Norssohn had gone missing, and was likely a hostage on a KSE Firespray. With quick thinking, Rhyley and Atyphe made after Nicey, with Kileo Dimoh and Caerwynn Royce in tow.
===Together Again===
Able to follow the KSE Firespray into Hyperspace, they were able to track the exact root of the fleeing starship. Mimicking it's path, the Rogue Star trailed the smaller ship towards Ylesia in Huttese Space. However along the way, the ship exited hyperspace unexpectedly. Scanning the area for any possible reasons, they were surprised to see that the KSE had also done such. Opening a communications channel with the ship, they were surprised to find Bai'yle return their calls. Turning out that he had managed to struggle free of his bindings and overpower the man that had caught him, the two ships returned to Outmian.
With Norssohn leading the captive bounty hunter Blue away, Rhyley searched the KSE for any information. Retrieving a few things, Rhyley would finally get some time alone with Atyphe, the first in weeks. There the two conversed regarding their paths whilst separate, Atyphe retelling her encounter with the Imperial Force User and Rhyley giving insight into his encounter on Nar Shaddaa with Vima-da-boda.
===Questions Unanswered===
It wasn't long however since the Alliance again needed the aid of Stargazer and his team. Having lost communication with an Alliance Bunker on Najiba, Stargazer and his team were asked to investigate the reasons for the lack of communication. With Atyphe, Raedan and Hendar joining Stargazer, the team made their way to the forest planet of Najiba.
Upon arriving at their destination after repeated efforts were made to try to contact the Alliance Bunker, Stargazer and his allies ventured out in an effort to find what had happened on Najiba. Finding no resistance at all, and the unexpected sight of a downed Imperial AT-AT Walker there was little evidence of what had happened that caused the bunker to go silent.
Venturing into the Bunker, the entire compound was eerily silent, with no power. Further investigation in the lower levels found Alliance Operatives dead on the ground yet no visible signs of why they were dead. With little to no evidence of the reasons why this fate had befallen those within the location, the group would find an armoured assailant that was also investigating the location, later they would discover this person was in fact a colleague in OSF, Sle-Twe Elo.
After recovering data samples from the location, Stargazer called for Alliance Recovery and Science Teams to find out why those on Najiba were dead. Upon returning to New Plympto Rhyley and those with him were placed in quarantine however were later released with nothing being found the cause for this tragic episode.
===Dark Tide===
Returning from New Plympto, Dune Sea Enterprises were invited to a dinner in their honour on Gala. Using it as an opportunity to allow some of the personnel a chance to let their hair down, Rhyley and his wife would receive further instructions from the Alliance regarding a lost Alliance Intelligence Unit on Yavin. With the event on Gala clearly going to interfere with their plans, Rhyley attended the event however was also planning a raid on Yavin. With the event hosted by Izard Kalleem seemingly being nothing more than a chance for the Empire to put on a show of it's military strength, and fearing a possible trap, Rhyley was only too pleased to be away from the dinner and leading Raedan Kitani and Atyphe Stargazer on another mission for the Alliance.
Deciding that their best way to land on Yavin would be for a hit and run operation on the Imperial Blockade, Rhyley, Atyphe and Raedan would rendezvous with an Alliance Fleet, where the group would be assigned an Alliance X-Wing Squadron, the Renegade Flight that was commanded by Commander Narra. With Narra and Stargazer devising a way for the Squadron to attack the Imperial Blockade, Stargazer and his companions would take flight and make their way in the Alliance X-Wings to Yavin. During the operation however, with the blockade broken and the Squadron away, Stargazer's own X-Wing on it's flight down to the surface, would take a barrage of hits, and he was sent free-falling to the planet. 
Able to survive the crash, however suffering immense injuries, Rhyley made his way through the Jungles of Yavin whilst Imperial Scout Task Groups were trying to track his movements. Hours past and with the pain in his body growing, Rhyley would unknowingly stumble upon the Massassi Temple, venturing within he would drop at the Temple's summit where upon a familiar sensation would make it's presence known to him. Peering up he would see Aniwevei Chreitti. Bewildered and confused as well as fighting an assault of feelings that was surging into his body because of both the location and the woman, Rhyley would blank out completely as aid arrived from Atyphe, Raedan as well as other OSF Members that had been present on Gala.
Whilst he was out, Rhyley would suffer harrowing nightmares of a possible future, wavering between consciousness and death, Stargazer was taken by his allies to their ships however not before facing off against Zann and his forces. It was during a showdown with Tyber Zann himself that the crime-lord demanded that the group hand over Stargazer, killing Saboa Darklight as a show of intent. Cravon Wolfgang would try to give Rhyley's body over to Zann who would also reveal Wolfgang's own underhanded dealings. Thanks to the aid of Atyphe Stargazer, Kileo Dimoh, Raedan Kitani, Erisey Casoona and Caerwynn Royce however, Wolfgang was forced not to gift Zann the beaten body of Stargazer, and using the Genesis defences along with the quick responses of Sarparious and Deianirrah Sevestis, as well as events affecting the fight elsewhere, the group would overpower Tyber Zann and take him captive.
===Torn Family===
Finally clear of Yavin, Rhyley would finally begin to act normally, his nightmares stopping and to his shock having everyone around him as well as Tyber Zann in captivity. Arriving back in Outmian, Rhyley had little memory of what had happened on Yavin, having lost his memory of the entire event due to the injuries he had suffered both physically and mentally, however he knew that something was not as it should be with Raedan Kitani avoiding him and others not talking about what had happened on Yavin.
Once home however, Atyphe Stargazer finally told him of what had happened on Yavin, of how Aniwevei had been with his body before they had ventured back to Yavin in an effort to save him, having seen his ship take damage before they had entered hyperspace. With his memory slowly restoring, Rhyley would also hear how the group would battle Zann Forces in their bid to leave the planet, including the confrontation of Tyber Zann and Cravon Wolfgang.
The news of Cravon's Arm Dealings was a shock that he had not expected. Disgusted of how he continually protected Wolfgang's Town and Company all the while facing enemies that had been armed by Wolfgang sickened the young man so much that he was considering leaving Outmian for good. Having spoken to Caerwynn Royce however, Rhyley decided to stay in Outmian, wanting his to help protect not the city but those friends he had made within it. Having begged Bai'yle Norssohn not to kill Cravon Wolfgang because of what had happened, unease fell upon Outmian as Cravon left the city and relinquished his position as Mayor.
With the argument causing many to lose face with those they once trusted, Raedan and Erisey would also begin to argue however due to a converse with the Stargazer couple, Raedan and Erisey decided to wed, with Rhyley serving as Raedan's best man and Atyphe as the master of ceremonies at Alakatha, the place of Rhyley and Atyphe's own honeymoon.
===Seeing Old Friends===
With Blue effectively in holding, Stargazer and his wife would receive orders from the Alliance regarding the details of a prisoner held upon Dathomir. With a location to meet Tsotha Lanti on Lok, Rhyley and his wife head to the barren world to meet with the elder man. Finding out further the details regarding an Imperial captive known as Veilanna Vincent, Lanti would lead the mission with Alliance aid as well as that of the Smugglers Alliance. Surprised that Talon Karrde would allow such a move, Rhyley and his new companions would be on their way to Dathomir, using codes attained by Jhaeda Marchallus to bypass Imperial Patrols and land on the dark world.
Once there, Rhyley and Atyphe would further help Lanti in assaulting an Imperial Communication Beacon. Getting another location, it wouldn't be long till Rhyley began to feel a familiar presence close on Dathomir. Distracted, Rhyley would fight to keep his thoughts in place as he continued to aid the endeavours of the Smugglers Alliance, utilising his ability and experience in the further assault of Imperial Stations. Drawing closer to the familiar presence it suddenly dawned on Stargazer that it belonged to Aniwevei Chreitti. Voicing his concerns to his wife and Tsotha Lanti, he begrudgingly allowed Tsotha Lanti to try to placate Aniwevei when they eventually came to face her on Dathomir.
Leading onto a final location, Rhyley and Atyphe along with Tsotha Lanti and them men and women of the Smugglers Alliance would assault an Imperial Landing Zone and manage to rescue the imprisoned Vincent. Whilst doing so, Aniwevei Chreitti suddenly revealed herself and aided the Imperials in their defence against Stargazer and his companions. Pushed back against overwhelming odds, the group manage to escape with their lives and head away from Dathomir and back to Lok, there the group come face to face with Doctor Eleyenora Roseward. Surprised by the goings on, the former Doctor of Outmian Yakta displayed curious behaviour and all did not seem well with their old friend.
===Finding Clues to Past Mistakes===
With unease still causing trouble at home, Rhyley tried to refocus the OSF and deal with those it held captive in Blue and Tyber Zann. Arranging a plan to get information from those that knew Blue, Rhyley tasked the Wraids with finding a way to follow the trail of Blue. Using the KSE Firespray and the many IDs they had managed to salvage from the ship, Erisey and her fellow colleagues managed to trace Blue to operations on Nar Shaddaa. Deciding to use Blue's own details to find further information on those that had caused Outmian Yakta so many problems, Bai'yle Norssohn was disguised as the Blue Armoured Bounty Hunter and with Rhyley piloting the KSE, the two men would lead the way to Nar Shaddaa whilst the Genesis, utilising the newly developed INTRADSINK and the Aslaia followed silently.
However on the way to Nar Shaddaa, Stargazer and Norssohn would both come face to face with an Imperial Star Destroyer and Interdictor at Lahsbane. With the Star Destroyer recognising the Firespray, Rhyley and Bai'yle had little choice other than to land on the Star Destroyer. With Rhyley remaining hidden on the small ship, it would fall to Bai'yle Norssohn to further investigate the dealings of Blue. Hours would pass as Rhyley silently hid unknown to the Imperial hosts, that he was able to send a small trail message to the Genesis detailing his plight. Eventually the Star Destoryer would come under attack and with no sign of Norssohn and with TIE Squadrons exiting the hangar that the KSE Firespray had landed at, Rhyley used the confusion and slipped away from the Star Destroyer.
Chased across Nar Shaddaa still unable to jump away due to the Interdictor being in high orbit, Rhyley would travel to the far side fo the Smugglers Moon before he finally managed to get away from the Empire's TIE Fighters. Though safe from the Imperials he had however unknowingly strayed into land owned by Durga the Hutt. Fearing possible ramifications from the Hutts, Rhyley hid for a day until finally he was found by Atyphe and Sarparious, before returning to the Spacebarn.
Having heard and seen some of the difficulties now facing them as well as the plight of a Jedi being tracked by the Empire on Kashyyyk, Rhyley pleaded with Shug Ninx to gather the Smugglers in a showdown against the Empire. Utilising Erisey's ability to slice a coding that would force the Hutts into attacking the Imperial Ships over head, and with Ninx and his allies uniting with Rhyley and his companions, Rhyley lead a force of cruisers, transports and other various vessels against the Imperial Fleet. Taking down the Interdictor's power core causing the ship's vast generators to fail, Stargazer and his allies were able to jump free of Nar Shaddaa.
===Dawn of the Jedi===
Arriving at Kashyyyk and using the stolen codings that had been salvaged by Erisey, the group land at the Wookie home planet and begin their search for the female Jedi, Jevona Takanir. Finding out the Empire had arranged Slaver Camps along with the aid of Trandoshian Slavers across the plateau, Stargazer and his friends began to systematically search each Slaver Compound for any sign of the female Jedi. Eventually the group found a Slaver Transport moments from departing.
Launching an assault against the camp and boarding the ship, the group would find an unconscious female lay beaten in a cell. Glad they had managed to arrive in time, Rhyley split the group up, sending back to Outmian those that had no idea Rhyley was part of the Alliance whilst he and Atyphe and Raedan Kitani lead Jevona back to the Alliance Base on New Plympto before eventually returning to Tatooine with a tale of how Jevona had pleaded with them to allow her to leave their ship on Corellia.
Once back on Tatooine it wouldn't be long till news of an Air Bombardment of Keren was shown on the HoloNet. Horrified of the scenes depicted on screen, Rhyley made certain to visit Kileo Dimoh. Finding the woman in utter shock, Rhyley did his best to console the woman whilst trying to mask his obvious affection for the Nubian female resulting in numerous arguments with his wife Atyphe.
Over the following days the Wraids would decipher the footage in hope of finding out who was responsible for the attack. Eventually they had an answer, with the Fleet that launched the attack bearing remarkable familiarity to the Fleet that once belonged to Tyber Zann who was still in their custody. Fearing the Fleet may decide to hit Outmian and retake Tyber Zann, Rhyley asked his companions to consider turning Zann over to the Alliance. Accepting his plan, Rhyley did as such, taking Zann to New Plympto and handing him over to the Alliance Security Forces.
With the fate of Blue in their hands as well, it was decided that Raedan Kitani would hand over the man responsible for the brutal beatings Kitani had undergone at the hands of Blue to the Empire. For a moment it seemed as if a sense of safety had returned to Outmian Yakta.
===Against the Odds===
That feeling however would not hold. With the same nightmares returning that he had suffered whilst on Yavin, Rhyley was struggling as his soul twisted in anger and rage at what was going on elsewhere, fuelled by his connection to Aniwevei Chreitti. With Raedan Kitani revealing that he had managed to track the fleet once used by Zann to Hypori, Rhyley slowly pieced together his visions to make sense of what was happening. Now knowing that there was something that Aniwevei was hoping to find on a world he only knew as Korriban, Rhyley pleaded with those remaining in Outmian to deal with this threat themselves rather than turn the news over to the Empire.
With many still reeling over the events that had happened on Yavin and most recently Keren, those within the OSF tentatively accepted Rhyley's call for action. Finding out that upon Hypori were vast droid factories considered unused for decades, the OSF decided to follow Aniwevei and the Fleet to Korriban once increasing their number by salvaging droids from Hypori. Still unable to lead the OSF due to his failing condition, Rhyley, Atyphe and Kileo would wait in the camp as Raedan lead those within the OSF to the Droid Factories. After hours of waiting they were soon called in to help recover the droids that Kitani and his companions had managed to salvage.
Their next destination was Korriban.
===Will of the Force===
With Stargazer sending word to the Alliance Fleet for aid in their attack, the OSF Fleet would watch as Mon Calamari Cruisers and Nebulon Frigates of the Rebel Alliance would enter into a fierce battle with the Cruisers of the Zann Fleet. In the ensuing battle, the OSF manages to land on the eerie planet. The cold dark presence on Korriban was like no other; the evil intent on the decrepit planet was as if death was stalking them as they touched down.
Facing overwhelming odds, Stargazer and his companions would send the Mark II Droideka's they had salvaged on, hoping to thin the numbers they would inevitably face. As the battles above and on Korriban reached it's peak, Rhyley among many of Outmian's citizens fought a battle like that they had never seen before, slowly pushing the tide of battle in their favour as they closed in on the dark temples that were hidden in the crevices of Korriban. 
Finally pushing the former-Zann forces back into the temple, Rhyley peered in knowing he would face Aniwevei. Deciding to offer himself up in the hope that those that had followed could launch a better attack on those within distracted on Rhyley, the young man and his wife were lead to a waiting Aniwevei Chreitti and her new Master, Temaz Aquinterra. Facing off against the pair, Rhyley tried to convince the woman to turn back on her Dark Master. Doing so lead to a confrontation between the three and Temaz and if not for those that had followed Rhyley to Korriban interrupting the fight it was a showdown that would've cost his life.
However with Temaz able to get away, even after suffering overwhelming losses to both his ground forces and fleet armada, there was still much left to do.
===Dark Horizons===
With many members of OSF having been injured, the group journey to a defunct military base on Dantooine. There they are able to get the medical treatment before beginning the long journey home to Tatooine. Once in Outmian, Aniwevei is placed in holding cells as those within the OSF try to decide her fate. With Rhyley torn between handing her over and setting her free, the planet of Tatooine would come under blockade of Temaz and his beleaguered Fleet.
With the Hutts and Imperial Forces regrouping to launch a joint attack against Temaz. With his ships severely outnumbered, the Dark Master watches on helplessly as ships fall to the planet's surface, reigning down on the cities of Sunfall, Wayfar and Outmian Yakta. Knowing that Temaz is probably searching for Aniwevei, the OSF with Rhyley at it's helm lead the citizens into bunkers and safety. There he watches the HoloNet as it shows the fight ensuing overhead, however the shot of a Shuttle leaving the capital ship before it explodes sends fear through those within Outmian.
With little else to do than run, knowing they wouldn't be able to face Temaz, Rhyley, Atyphe, Sarparious and Saldena head off to the cells, taking Aniwevei before using the Genesis to leave the planet, hoping to outrun Temaz. Days after leaving the group would later here reports of how Imperial Forces manage to kill the men responsible for the bombardment and with Aniwevei certain Aquinterra is dead, the group journey back to Tatooine.
===Trouble at Home===
With the continual weakening of Outmian Yakta as well as the considerable destabilising of Jabba the Hutt's power base coupled with the absence of a Mayor, a gang war would begin in Outmian. Over run and pushed to the brink of collapse, OSF does just enough to stave off the first few battles however as they grow more fierce and more and more personnel are injured, it isn't long before Rhyley and his friends begin to rely on the efforts of the Empire.
With OSF scrambling and trying to keep the city from bursting, Caerwynn Royce reveals that an Inquisitor has stalked her. With further worries brewing in Outmian, even though having just dealt with Zann and Temaz, OSF begins to recoil on itself. It’s during this chaos that the Empire launch an operation like none would've thought possible.
Arresting Jabba the Hutt as well as Lady Valarian and placing the entire planet under a curfew upheld by the Imperial Military, Outmian Yakta watches on helplessly as democratic loop holes are exposed and an Imperial Mayor, Morlain Kaboor, is placed in power at Outmian Yakta.
===Bonds of Brothers===
With the Empire closer to his home than they had ever been before, Rhyley watched helplessly as the Imperial Forces dictated the security in Outmian. With the feeling that the Mayor knew more than he was giving on, Rhyley and Atyphe began moving their belongings from their homestead in Outmian to their home on Naboo, quarters on New Plympto and an underground Bunker on Najiba. The couple would even go so far to move their personal ships from the Outmian Yakta Spaceport to the Tatooine outpost, Mos Yaim'la.
It was during this time, that Rhyley would inadvertidly find out that Bai'yle Norssohn had hidden knowledge on the possible whereabouts of his brother An-Taei Wynonyms from him. Filled with anger over what he saw as a betrayal between the two men, Rhyley left Tatooine without word for Corellia in the hope of finding his brother.
===The Darkness Within Us===
After hearing from Jonset what had happened regarding his brother, the two men go to Coronet where they investigate the area Jonset had seen An-Taei. Finding nothing the two men would infiltrate the CorSec Academy hoping to find anything to do with the Imperial Prisoner Operations in Coronet. Having once been cadets at the Academy, their infiltration brought a lot of memories back for both men however their hope in finding something turned up nothing.
Deciding to try to Infiltrate an Imperial Location, the two men lead on to Kor Vella where Rhyley poses as an Imperial Officer and Jonset as a Stormtrooper. Finding a lead inside Kor Vella the two men venture out to a Lab not far west of the city. Using their IDs to enter the facility, both men are struck with shock as they are witness to experiments being undertaken on live men and women. Grief stricken Rhyley and Jonset launch an assault on the Laboratory destroying the facility and freeing those that had been held against their will. Further investigation gave Rhyley details concerning his brother as well as a flight chart from a hidden Imperial Starfighter base. Tasking Jonset with returning the information back to the Alliance, Rhyley himself made his way to the location.
Scouting the location Rhyley again decided to infiltrate by deception. Watching a group of Imperial pilots leave the base for shore leave, Rhyley kidnaps one of the pilots and disguises himself as the man, donning a latex-mask and assuming his identity. Now role-playing as the Imperial Pilot Yens Acklain, Rhyley remained hidden in the Imperial Base for weeks where he would be witness to countless assaults and rapes on the people he wanted to protect. Filled with grief Rhyley would lose himself in that location, forcing his own self-identity into the pits of his consciousness in an effort to not give away his true identity.
After weeks, Rhyley eventually found out the location where he believed his brother had been taken, and set off from Corellia for Drall.
===Making Amends===
Upon arriving on Drall, Rhyley would shed his Imperial identity and contact the local underground resistance forces, surprised to find the Rebels with such numbers on a planet he believed to be of no importance, Rhyley assumed command of a scout group and immediately ventured out to the Imperial Detention Centres. There he would hear the Imperials raise the alarms and increase their guard as something happened elsewhere on the planet, yet it wasn't much longer before his wife contacted him. Asking for her to leave, Rhyley rejoined Atyphe, Erisey Casoona-Kitani and Exao Gunn back at the Rebel Underground Base.
Hearing of how they had tracked him to Drall, Rhyley decided to launch an operation to break out those in holding within the Imperial Detention Centre. With no word on what was the cause for the increased alarm, Rhyley, Atyphe, Exao and Erisey made the short journey back to the Detention Centre where the group launched a surprise assault on the location. Pushing forward the group were surprised to find Raedan Kitani, Jacoreb Illstrike, Rymel Trysinh along with the man they all thought was dead, Max' Rockatanski and Rhyley's own brother, An-Taei Wynonyms among the hundreds of prisoners they freed.
Managing to get the vast numbers back to the Alliance Base, Rhyley would learn how Max and Raedan had suffered serious injuries that threatened their mental and physical well-being. However with the sudden arrival of Hendar Gahn along with Cravon Wolfgang, Caerwynn Royce, Jarryd Davillion and Rhelex Jubulii Gahn the base would go on high alert as Imperial Forces descend on the location. With little hope other than fleeing, the entire group would hatch a plan to get away from the Empire, and regrouped at another Alliance Location. With Max and Hendar now stable, the ever-decreasing condition of Raedan Kitani meant the group had to leave Drall.
With their Commanding Officers refusing to allow the group to run a blockade jump, Stargazer contacted his father on New Plympto and informed him of the current plight on Drall, hoping that something would change. Taei Wynonyms immediately contacted Crix Madine and decided to allow the Alliance Forces to retreat from Drall. With the Alliance giving word for a retreat, Stargazer and Wolfgang put aside their differences to help get Raedan Kitani to the Starport where Wolfgang’s freighter, the Midnight Express, lay in dock before parting ways.
===Almost Whole===
With the Alliance still fleeing and An-Taei, Raedan and his many friends now on their way to New Plympto, Rhyley and his wife remain with a group of commandos to carry out two final assaults on the Imperial facilities to guarantee the escape of as many Alliance personnel as possible. Not without their losses, the assaults prove minimally successful, allowing Rhyley and Atyphe to regroup with their allies on New Plympto.
During this time Rhyley would receive a frantic communication from Kileo Dimoh regarding the state of affairs in Outmian Yakta and the OSF. Not telling his wife that he was departing to visit Kileo in secret, Rhyley leaves New Plympto quietly, heading for Tatooine and Outmian Yakta. Meeting Kileo away from the city and any prying listeners, Rhyley confides in Kileo what had happened on Drall as well as his joining the Rebellion. Though she was shocked, she responded that she understood and informed him that she had fallen in love with an Imperial. During their converse he struggled with his obvious feelings for the woman and though wanted to confess his love for her he instead bids what he had considered their last good bye before heading back to the Rebel Base on New Plympto.
With his brother in good health and having undergone a series of tests, Rhyley's entire family gather on New Plympto to celebrate the reunion of the Stargazer and Wynonyms families. However as he waits his good friend Raedan Kitani steadily grows worse. With little else hope and after the efforts of the Alliance Medical Experts and Jedi Medic Araiya Berilac, Erisey Casoona-Kitani makes the difficult decision in allowing Alliance Dr Walex Blissex to perform possible life saving surgery on Raedan.
Kitani is placed on a Medical Frigate before being moved to an XQ2 Platform hidden in the Outer Rim. Deciding he owes Raedan the union of his family as well as feeling guilty for not being there when he was needed and not wanting Erisey to be alone, Rhyley along with Atyphe and Bai'yle follow the medical frigate, Redemption to Brint-Wo.
===Dark Projects===
Arriving at Hospital Raedan went on to undergo a series of operations, where it was later determined that the young man had contracted Knowts Disease, which attacked and destroyed the infected body’s tissue, slowly killing the person. With yet another set back, Dr Walex Blissex devised a way to save Raedan, however to do so, it would need the recovery of Imperial Data and a Darktrooper. Wanting to be placed on the mission, Rhyley lobbied to Crix Madine for he and his unit to be included on another operation against the Empire.
Having received unconfirmed intelligence that the Empire was trying to salvage the Darktrooper Project, Rhyley was tasked with journeying to Anteevy, and to ascertain what the Empire was doing as well as trying to contact Rebel Informant Ranulf Trommer. Enlisting the aid of both Rhelex Jubulii-Gahn and Exao Gunn along with his usual companions, Rhyley would travel to Anteevy.
Making sure as not to be followed, he and his allies would scout the location, seeing a large collection of Imperial Troopers at the facility, Rhyley would retreat before hitting another location and using Imperial Identities to eventually return. With Rhelex able to find Trommer, the group would vacate the facility before Stargazer would finally reveal their identities to the Informant. Hearing that the Empire was indeed trying to salvage the project, the team would find out that the Empire had a further two foundries in use, one on Muunilinst.
Meeting with Kyle Katarn on Dantooine, the men would converse over the best plan of action to arrive on Muunilinst and bypass the series of Imperial Patrols and Scans in the sector. Journeying towards the Corporate Sector, the group would map their own path towards Muunilinst, before deploying the INTRADSINK, however such was the distance that the ship had to travel, the stores of power saved on the ship were quickly drained. 
Diverting as much power as the ship systems would allow, the vessel quietly slipped by patrols however not without great damage to the Rogue Star. Now needing a new Hyperdrive Power Coupling and the Configulatrix, Stargazer and his wife remained in the ship whilst their allies hunted down the necessary parts though it was not long till an Imperial Scout Team surrounded the ship. Hiding in the ship, Rhyley and Atyphe waited until Katarn, Erisey Casoona-Kitani, Exao and Rhelex returned to intercept the Troopers.
With the parts in hand, the group would learn of the location of the Darktrooper foundry. Using Katarn's wealth of knowledge and Rhyley's tactical astuteness, the team would lead one final assault against the foundry, recovering the data and Darktrooper before blasting their way off Muunilinst and racing back to Brint-Wo.
===Difficult Decisions===
No sooner had he arrived on Brint-Wo however was Stargazer called back to New Plympto. Keeping the news of an impending Court-Martial secret from both Raedan and Erisey, Rhyley bid both Kitani's farewell, regretful he could not wait to see how Raedan's surgery would go. Arriving back on New Plympto Rhyley had little time to prepare for the Court-Martial however did his best to put forward a case in defence of Raedan.
With some of the blame being placed at Raedan's feet, Rhyley was able to overturn that Kitani was the primary reason for the losses suffered on Drall, even going so far as to implicate mere chance Imperial patrols and ill-conceived Command Orders rather than any of his men, even though he himself was not so certain that Hendar Gahn or his party were not to blame for the Empire finding out about the Rebel Bunkers.
Finally the verdict would come, and though not agreeing with it, Rhyley was glad that the Prosecuting Authority allowed some lenience towards the sentencing, changing a verdict that would've seen Raedan incarcerated for a year. With Raedan making a full recovery from Surgery, Rhyley would take Raedan and his wife Erisey back to Tatooine, spending a few hours with Atyphe in Outmian Yakta, before being called in to New Plympto by his father and senior officer, Taei Wynonyms, the two would depart under unhappy circumstances, still arguing that Rhyley was seeing someone behind her back, and that his family did not like her.
It would be the last time Rhyley would ever see Atyphe.
===Following Orders===
Arriving at Home Base One on New Plympto, Rhyley and Bai'yle would meet with Taei and learn of their reassignment to Echo Base, on Hoth in the Anoat System, their orders to train new recruits that had joined Crix Madine's successful Spec-Ops Program. Furious at what he had perceived as an error of judgement in his orders, Rhyley and his father would exchange fierce words before the young Corellian would eventually calm down. Begrudgingly accepting his new directives, Rhyley also learns that his brother An-Taei would be accompanying him having enlisted his services to the Alliance. Shocked and unhappy Rhyley, along with Bai’yle and An-Taei leave aboard the Rogue Star heading for Echo Base, with Rhyley being ordered to not inform his wife, a move that would see his marriage end.
Hoth to Rhyley was unlike any planet he had ever experienced before, always freezing and never comfortable, he and Bai'yle would together train over twenty Alliance Recruits in utilising their abilities as Spec-Ops Commandos over the coming weeks. Tasking the recruits with focuses ranging from strategic theory to espionage simulation programs, Stargazer and Norssohn would show the young men and women what was required of them as part of the Rebel Alliance. With his brother, An-Taei also part of the young recruits team, it wouldn’t be long before their trials and theories were put into play as the Empire found their location on Hoth.

Ordered to aid the evacuation of Echo Base, Rhyley and Bai'yle would split their recruits into three teams, with Rhyley leading a Unit named Vipers, Bai'yle leading Ravens and the final team named Foxes. Charging the Foxes with further aiding tech crews in getting as much on board the evacuating transports as they could, Rhyley and Bai’yle would lead their respective units into the snow wastes and bitter cold of Hoth as they waited to make their surprise attack on the approaching Imperial Forces.
With the Ravens forced into an early retreat following their failed attack, Stargazer and the Vipers would manage to create an avalanche that would halt an approaching AT-ST. Combining the unique abilities of Shie Azumie, Brock Edison and Brodie Boomer not only would they capture the small terrain vehicle but they would also manage to drop a monstrous AT-AT before themselves retreating from the battlefield.
===Consumed===
With the majority of the Rebel Forces having been evacuated, Rhyley and his companions' only chance of fleeing Hoth laid upon a decrepit ship owned by Gunner. Having to re-enter Echo Base’s rear hangar knowing that Imperial Snowtroopers had already successfully infiltrated the base, Rhyley and Hulk would try and slow any approaching attack as Gunner and Seelix prepared the ship to leave. Having to face off against Darth Vader, the inexperienced Force Sensitive was easily thrown around by the Sith Lord, before he and Hulk scrambled away as they tried in vain to halt the approach of the Imperials.
Managing to get onboard the ship just as it was pulling away, the small freighter wouldn't get far before being caught in a waiting Imperial trap. With the ship virtually useless and caught in a tractor beam that was pulling the vessel into its waiting hangar, Rhyley, Seelix, Hulk and Gunner decide to try and kill as many of the waiting Imperials on board the Imperial Star Destroyer. Though mounting some resistance, the Imperial's sheer number quickly overcame their assault. 
Rhyley Stargazer was captured.
Whilst in holding Rhyley would undergo a series of gruelling tortures, his back littered with scars from whips and electrical charges from various forms of torture techniques. Wishing for death, the young Corellian was bombarded with assaults as the Empire hoped to break him. Eventually through Sith Alchemy, Stargazer's mind was manipulated and visions inserted into his sub-conscious. Believing what he was seeing was real, that his family and his friends were all dead, murdered in front of him by those that tortured him, Rhyley finally gave up hope.
Deciding to try and use Rhyley's force sensitivity for his own gain, Stargazer was chosen to be one of the many Rebel Captives that under went Sithspore experiments by Izard Kalleem. With an oily black substance injected into his ear lobe, Rhyley's body and mind was slowly infiltrated, manipulated and controlled by the symbiotic creature, imbedding new memories into his mind. Unable to stop the entity, Rhyley slipped into an eternal darkness with only the visions of his murdered family and friends.
===Darkness Reborn===
Reborn as the malevolent Rhykan, the young Corellian adopted a completely sadistic personality. Blindly faithful to Izard Kalleem that had 'awoken' him, Rhykan became a willing servant and Agent of the Empire. His mission to root out as many of the Rebels that he had known.
Dropped off on Bestine on Tatooine, the Rhykan persona hid under a veil of deception, pretending to be Rhyley Stargazer having lost his memory and suffering from severe amnesia and dementia, the symbiotic creature would slowly drift from city to town across the desert planet before eventually arriving at Outmian Yakta.
Finding his way into the Cantina, Desert Nights, Rhykan would oversee many familiar faces that he was able to attain from the dormant memories of Rhyley Stargazer. Finding a seat, he was soon joined by Raedan Kitani. Having initially disregarded the man, the perseverant Kitani and wife Erisey convinced Rhykan to accompany them back the empty Stargazer homestead in the hope of igniting Rhyley's memory, unknowingly allowing the Imperial Agent Rhykan a great opportunity for his first strike.
With Erisey and Raedan unarmed, Rhykan immediately lashed out, taking Erisey's weapon and aiming the weapon at her, the end almost touching her forehead. With Raedan throwing himself at Rhykan in hope of saving Erisey, a blow to the head would knock Rhykan out. Moving upstairs the symbiotic being quickly awoken and used Raedan as a toy, throwing him from wall to floor to ceiling using the force. With Saldena Wolfgang also trying to aid Raedan, thanks in part to the fighting of Rhyley Stargazer deep in the conscious mind within the body, the female managed to strike a telltale blow to knock Rhykan out.
Moved to another location, the reawakening of Rhykan would often prove too much for those hoping to cure Rhyley of his seemingly new personality. Indeed the combined efforts of four Jedi were just enough to stop him on two occasions as Rhykan slowly found his full power and abilities. However as each time Rhykan was about to land a critical blow to kill someone, the consistent refusal of the Rhyley Stargazer consciousness to allow such a thing would often cause Rhykan to fail.
===Light Awoken===
Stargazer's body was moved to the more secure surroundings of the Base Zero, on Najiba, by Raedan Kitani who would enlist an assortment of Jedi and Rebels in the hope of turning Rhyley back into the man they all remembered. Utilising the experience of their previous encounters and through trial and error, slowly they began to un-weave the web spun in the mind of Stargazer by the symbiotic entity.
With piercing explosions ringing in the room, the entity slowly lost its control, with Rhyley aided by the presence of Araiya Berilac through the Force; the Rhyley consciousness began to fight with more strength against the hold of the Sithspore. Eventually the symbiotic being oozed from the eyes of Stargazer, dripping to the floor as Rhyley’s body rejected its unwanted guest before the young man broke down from exhaustion and fear.
The entity however was not finished; reforming the black oily creature came to life and tried to take Cayla Dunestrider as its next victim before the timely aid of Saldena Wolfgang prevented such extinguishing the entity in a burst of light using Force Combustion. With those observing still unsure as to if Rhyley was truly himself, simple questions quickly allowed them to see Rhyley was once again himself.
Life without the symbiotic creature was hard, the realisations of the lies and deceit spun by his Imperial Captors left Rhyley wondering if this life he had awoken to, was real or a mere dream. With his body still suffering from its break away from the entity, Rhyley slept for hours before finally awaking. Still traumatised by what he had experienced he tried as best he could to hide his insecurities from those that surrounded him.
Throwing himself into his work Rhyley would soon ask those that were part of his former unit to carry out yet another dangerous task on Malastare. Noticing obvious disharmony in the unit, Rhyley began to quickly lose patience with those he considered friends. With Rhelex leading the Unit to Malastare via Tatooine, a plan was put into play in the hopes of having Raedan Kitani's father defect to the Alliance. Having stayed back and watch from afar as the unit lead itself; Rhyley himself would try to keep a distance from the ever-persistent Cayla Dunestrider and her probing questions.
With Kitani's Plan almost in place, Rhyley ordered an immediate evacuation and recovery of Najiba as news of Malastare filtered home. The Rebel Evac Teams quickly arriving and beginning the evacuation of the base, it wouldn't be long before Rhelex, Exao Gunn and new recruit Kaje-James Reilloc returned with news from Malastare. Immediately the unit retreated from Najiba, before rendezvousing with Raedan Kitani at Tatooine, and eventually heading off to rejoin the Rebel Fleet at Sullust.
===Allegiance===
Arriving at Sullust, the group were directed to land aboard the Mon Calamari Cruiser, Home One. Landing inside the vast hangar the group would spend time resting as Rhyley and Raedan began to attend various debriefs. It was there that Rhyley learned that Kileo Dimoh and Sava Stary were rescued by Kyle Katarn, Jan Ors and Baydo Chasdy and had since sought a safe haven on within the Alliance Fleet. Unsure whether to see Kileo or not, Stargazer wrestled with his feelings before swallowing his pride and finding her. Reuniting with the woman however did prove tasking, the presence of Sava Stary kept the young Corellian on guard and it proved to be some time before he felt at ease talking with Kileo, still feeling responsible for being the reason she now found herself so far from home.
With both Kileo and Sava asking for Rhyley and Raedan's insight into what they might do in the future, it was not until after both Kileo and Raedan left that Stargazer and Stary learned that they had more in common than they had initially thought. With his Unit ordered to do another mission and Rhyley still not physically ready to lead the sortie, Stargazer remained on Home One and attended the Alliance General Court Marshall hearings of both Raedan Kitani and Rhelex Jubulii-Gahn, speaking on both their behalves as well as going out of his way to enlist the support of key Alliance Members, Rhyley was satisfied to hear that both hearings went without further damaging ramifications. Soon he along with Cayla Dunestrider would leave for Rishi and oversee the preparation of their new base of operations.
With a few days passing, Stargazer and Dunestrider would return to Sullust and rejoin the Fleet finding that his unit had also not long returned. After a series of debriefs with his superiors, Rhyley would also learn from Kileo and Sava of their decision to join the Rebellion. Time on the surface of Sullust also saw Stargazer lead his men with Dimoh and Stary in aiding the rescue and evacuation of the Enviro-Dome. Their quick responsive actions saving many lives as well as winning critical support with the Sullustan Government. With so much having changed in the few weeks that had followed his capture by Imperial Forces, Rhyley requested for his unit to immediately leave for Rishi in order to allow his unit time to recuperate properly before their next mission would begin.
===Building Bridges===
Though still struggling to deal with his recurring nightmares, the landing at Rishi and time spent in the bunker did enough to keep his mind occupied. Pressing himself to do more evaluation work whilst he and his allies stayed in the bunker, Rhyley began to become more dependant on X-Tovarin to keep him awake and free from nightmares, though this would often see Rhyley become almost withdrawn, and quiet for long periods of time, sometimes even switching off in conversations.
 
Time spent at the bunker aptly named, Haven One as well as going to the local outpost for supplies did well to enable Stargazer to reflect on his time away from the unit, as well as being able to understand the sudden changes in his own life. With the unit recovering he also used this time to take Exao Gunn, Kaje-James Reilloc and Rhelex Jubulii to Talus, for nothing more than a social visit and to lighten their spirits. Upon returning however, he would find Aniwevei Chreitti having invited herself into the bunker. Furious at her seemingly disregard for those inside, Stargazer quickly banished her from the location.
Rhyley would soon be recalled to Sullust, leaving those in the bunker to remain. Travelling back, Rhyley would hear of the decision regarding the unit's next few operations, including that of being placed in a possible battle in the coming months. With new orders, Rhyley returned to Rishi and delivered the first of these new directives to his unit.
They would soon make their way to Talus.
===Secrets and Lies===
 
Landing at Talus, Rhyley would task Raedan with Exao in finding a camp, whilst he along with Kileo Dimoh, Erisey Casoona-Kitani and Kaje left Talus aboard the Rogue Star to recon the Corellia Sector and investigate the Corellian Imperial Fleet.
Arriving in the Corellian Sector, Kaje-James immediately initiated the INTRADSINK aboard the Rogue Star. Masking their emissions the freighter was able to move about without detection by any sensors of local ships or starports. Able to find a specific type of satellite, Erisey Casoona-Kitani managed to upload her access to the sat, thus tapping into the public's main networks. After receiving a communication from Exao Gunn, the ship would steer towards a Nebulon-B Frigate, in the hope of finding out details as to what ships were in system. Arriving at the frigate they would soon learn that it was an Imperial vessel, steering away and fleeing the IRS suddenly would cause the entire ship to shut down, immediately rendering them viewable to the Imperial Frigate just as a flotilla of Star Destroyers and an Interdictor arrived at the system.
Powered down and vulnerable to an attack, the Empire immediately locked on the Rogue Star able to identify it as the personal ship of Rhyley Stargazer even with the ship transmitting a different set of codes. With an Imperial Boarding Party closing quickly, Rhyley would work frantically to get the ship's engines back on-line with Kaje trying to do all he could in delaying the Imperials. Erisey meanwhile would discover the reason for the Rogue Star shutting down as Kileo stood by trying to aid in anyway she could.
As two Star Destroyers broke away and opened suppressive fire with the aim to capture the ship, Rhyley directed both Erisey and then Kileo with how to get the ship back online. With Kaje opening fire from the top turret at the swarming TIE Fighters, the ship would suddenly kick back into life as Erisey manages to rectify the problem with the ship's engines. Fleeing immediately thanks to Rhyley's flying and Kileo's calculations the ship was able to safely retreat from Corellia and return to Talus with details of the Whyren Fleet and knowledge that somehow the Empire had managed to acquire Rhyley's secret codes.
===Tasting Trouble at Talus===
 
With the unit re-united on Talus, Stargazer had decided to leave the unit on the planet and return to Sullust, fearing his continued stay may jeopardise the mission, however due to the damage sustained whilst above Corellia from Imperial Forces, the Rogue Star was in no shape to fly again. Coupled with the news that Exao Gunn and Raedan Kitani had scouted the region and stumbled across a remote Imperial Base, heavily fortified, Rhyley looked to disguise the ship as much as he could, placing leaves and branches on the hull to mask her presence whilst making sure the ship transmitted no signals at all.
Yet with the vessel needing parts replaced, Stargazer knew that it would be days before he could get the ship back into the air. With the camp fully stocked, including a small antenna for broadcasting in the local areas, Stargazer approached the others with an idea of finding out more about the Imperial Base as well as trying to find a way to get hold of the items needed to carry out the mission.
Sava Stary came up with a possible plan to infiltrate the Imperial Base. Needing IDs and equipment to mask their features, a group would travel to Dearic and contact a local thug by the name of Varro a former associate of Exao Gunn's. Once located Kileo Dimoh and Sava would try to acquire the fake ID cards they would need to fool the Imperials into thinking they were Maintenance Crew Members. Meanwhile Rhyley and Kaje-James Reilloc would scour the city for the items needed to fix the Star. With Raedan and Erisey working on a program to be placed inside the Imperial Base that would inform them of any Imperial Movement towards their camp as well as Terasa, Rhelex and Exao remaining behind to keep watch on the camp's perimeter, the small group left on swoops for Dearic.
On approach to the bustling metropolis, Kileo and Sava donned Armour and assumed the identities of Bounty Hunters. Leaving Rhyley and Kaje to look for the parts with which to fix the Rogue Star, the two headed for the city's main Cantina. Rhyley and Kaje however would find their way to the Market District. Scouring the local terminals for a possible place to purchase the items needed, they would soon find out they would need to travel to Nashal. With Kaje securing passage on a shuttle to the neighbouring city, the two men left Dearic aboard the small passenger shuttle.
Arriving in Nashal Stargazer and Reilloc began looking for the place that sold the ship part they were after. Making their way into the rougher side of town, the two men would see an Imperial Patrol near by. Taking shelter alongside the Cantina, Kaje-James would contact Erisey Casoona-Kitani to head to Nashal and take out the local security recordings. Meeting her in the cantina, the trio would split up, Stargazer looking to find a way around the patrol to the store, whilst Erisey and Kaje found a quiet terminal with which to try and tamper with the Security Cameras. Slicing the terminal, Erisey managed to change the feeds, before the pair headed off back towards Dearic.
Meanwhile Rhyley would manage to recover the parts needed to fix his ship. Making his way back to camp, Rhyley would begin the long process of initiating these repairs. Not long after his start, would the others finally return back from Dearic with news of their failure.
===From Bad to Worse===
The news of what had happened in Dearic troubled Rhyley. He had hoped to ease Stary into Rebel life, thinking that with time, their efforts against the Empire could slowly increase given his history as an Imperial Stormtrooper, however his failure at what Rhyley would see as a simple task, in acquiring information from a local informant, proved to leave him with growing fears of his future possible use as part of his commando unit. His concern also grew regarding Kileo's lead of the operation following hearing her own indecision of Sava's tactics. With Exao also placing himself in a vulnerable position that would see the young Jedi shot at point blank range, thankfully only a stun shot, Rhyley wondered if this mission was doomed to failure.
After talking with all three, and stressing his points to each of them, Rhyley decided against leaving Talus. Instead he would concentrate on keeping their outpost hidden from Imperials as the others made their way to Corellia. With a haunting nightmare regarding both Sava and Exao causing him more discomfort and unease, Rhyley remembered the words of his former Master Vima-da-Boda and taking Cayla Dunestrider, went to investigate Dearic.
Arriving at the city, Stargazer and Dunestrider would witness further turmoil of local citizens being forced to sleep rough or rushed into camps. Investigating the cantina, the two adopted a persona of lovers, using the aliases of Randy Egotiste and Crystale. Having been watched the two hear of how no one is able to find a place to stay at the local Hotel and of anyone new to the area being forced into these camps. Thinking there may be more to this, Rhyley asks for possible work before he and Cayla make their way to the hotel, still being watched.
At the hotel Rhyley is forced to pay well over the odds for a room, however after securing the room, the two make their way still in their adopted personas. In the room the pair begins to look for possible hearing devices, however knowing it is a trap and failing to recover any of the hearing devices, the two decide upon keeping their charade and pretend to be lovers for the rest of the night. With Cayla quickly becoming intoxicated on the wine, the two finally crash out on the bed and fall asleep.
===Reluctance and Duty===
The next morning is equally uncomfortable, as both wake up unsure as to what exactly had happened. Deciding to make as little of it as he could, Rhyley tries to reassure Cayla, before getting ready to leave. Whilst dressing he hears Cayla leave for breakfast. Intending on joining her he finds her already in converse with a female Twi'lek and so decides to leave Dearic and return to camp. On his way back however he would suddenly receive a call from a frantic Cayla, informing him that she is still being followed and knowing that her false identity of Crystale has probably been seen through.
 
Quickly making his way back, Rhyley comms to Raedan Kitani regarding their situation. Arriving at Dearic, he leaves the speeder, before making his way quickly to Cayla. Taking her by hand, the two hurry onto a shuttle destined for New Onderon. At the town, Rhyley and Cayla quickly recover vehicles and make their way into the forests and mountains before laying an ambush for their followers. Quickly overcoming the follower, and with their speeders destroyed, Rhyley comms for Raedan and Rhelex Jubulii for support.
As the two men arrive along with a local man from Kystes, the group would find out how the Binayre were behind some of the goings on in Dearic. Recovering details of a possible location not far from them, the group decide to investigate. Arriving closer they would hear that civilians were being kept in the location. Knowing of them, Rhyley charges Rhelex in leading the rescue, whilst he recovers further data from the location. With the civilians rescued, the entire group reconvene before making their way to Kystes.
Leaving Rhelex and Terasa Asheeri in Kystes, Rhyley heads back to camp to hear on the progress of those on Corellia.
===Bitter Sweet Success===
It would be three days before those on Corellia would finally break comm. silence. Detailing their escape from Corellia, Rhyley gathers the remaining members of the unit on Talus in the Rogue Star before leaving Talus to rejoin with the others. With the Rogue Star having to grapple with the mounted Flash Point and Stary's newly acquired YT-2400, before assisting them in the jump back to Sullust. With news that their mission was a success and that they had recovered Venir Thresh, it would appear that Stargazer's concerns were ill found.
At Sullust he would meet with his father, where he would learn of how he and his unit were to be honoured for their excellent efforts since their joining of the Rebellion. Deciding to keep the news from his unit, Rhyley delivered details of their next mission before ordering everyone to take their rest. It was during this time that Rhyley would finally make the decision to annul his marriage to Atyphe. Having been unable to receive any replies from his communications to her and having not seen her before he was sent to Hoth, Rhyley finally activated a prenuptial clause in his union contract that voided their marriage. 
He would try and hide this sadness from nearly everyone, only informing his family as well as Raedan and Erisey. With a ceremony being held in their honour, Rhyley would lead the unit to Druidia where they would each receive the award, Order of the Starbird, presented by Princess Leia Organa. Proud of himself as well as his unit, Rhyley carried on that evening as if nothing was affecting him.
===Finding trouble on Malastare===
With the unit granted a short stay of Rest and Recuperation, Rhyley allowed all the members in his Unit to do as they wished, with Exao notably going to Talus and Kaje-James leaving to embark on a field medicine course. Rhyley himself spent time with his mother and sister, trying to carry on as if the war was not hanging over all their heads. Eventually Rhyley would resume normal duties, and would be aboard Home One when Alliance Intelligence intercepted a rogue signal. Checking it against their database, they were able to determine the signal was originating from Malastare, however could not determine whether or not it was an Imperial transmission or not, having never encountered the frequency before. With Rhyley having itchy hands, with a few of those in the unit arriving back early, Stargazer leads an expedition to the planet Malastare to uncover the source of the transmission.
Arriving on the planet, with the increased presence of the Empire restricting Rhyley's movements, he along with Kileo Dimoh would hide in the Starport, whilst Erisey, Exao and Terasa in looked for an insight into where the signal was on the planet. Able to pinpoint the location of the source, Terasa would attain shuttle passes, and regrouping with Stargazer and Dimoh, the Rebels would make their way to the small city of Greenfield. With the decrease in Imperial Forces at the small town, Rhyley acquired speeders for the group as Erisey lead the way to the destination of the signal.
Leaving the speeders a click away from the coordinates, the group would make their way slowly on foot towards the source. Growing closer, they would soon realise it was an Imperial Facility, heavily guarded and marshalled. Reluctant to take on a force of that size, Rhyley ordered the group to retreat however Exao Gunn began to display a sense of knowing someone inside the facility. With the remainder of the group wanting to leave, Rhyley listened quietly to Exao and then trusting in his instinct ordered the group to prepare an ambush.
With their trap set, Rhyley would hatch the plan that would see the Rebels ambush Imperial Stormtroopers. Using their own armour as a disguise, the group would somehow manage to find their way into the facility, using Terasa as a 'captured prisoner'. Inside they would quickly try to find out what was going on, however before the group could make any major investigations, the alarm would be triggered regarding the Facility's Rebel Infiltrators. Their cover blown, Exao Gunn would find his former Lover, Zalena Tone inside the medical wing, lying in a coma. Pleading with Rhyley to take her with them, Rhyley reluctantly agrees, setting off with Terasa to cause a distraction large enough to allow Erisey, Kileo, Exao and Zalena time to escape.
Making their way to the facility's power core the two men agreed to blow the main generators and rupture the facility. Taking aim, Terasa would deal the final blow to the core, the explosion caving the area above the underground facility and setting off a chain reaction of further explosions, as Rhyley and Terasa would run for their lives with fleeing Imperials. Outside with the ground caved in and the Imperials in disarray, the group would manage to sneak away from the facility amidst the chaos.
With the timely arrival of the RAGS Bulkyare in the system, Rhyley would order Emfive to bring the Rogue Star to Greenfield in order to pick Rhyley and the rest of his allies up. With the Gunship diverting the attention of the Imperial Fleet in space, Rhyley piloted the Star into the atmosphere before jumping to safety at Chandrila's moon, Chanmea. Reconvening at his grandfather's shipyards, Rhyley would leave his vessel, Rogue Star and Emfive in the custody of Gern Stargazer, as he lead the Bulkyare to the rendezvous with Princess Leia Organa and the Alliance Corvette Tantive V at the Dakmir Asteroid Belt.
===To the Ends of the Galaxy===
Arriving at the Dakmir Asteroid Belt before the Tantive V, the unit would try and gain contact with the Asteroid Station, Tilk's Rock. Unable to gain any contact with those supposedly on the Asteroid and with the safe arrival of the Tantive V, Stargazer orders the unti to take a closer look. With Z-95 Headhunters suddenly springing an attack, the Bulkyare would fight it's way to land at the station. Organising a boarding party Stargazer leads an investigation into what has happened on the eerily silent station. With Stary, Jubulii, Dimoh, Casoona-Kitani and Gunn assembling the boarding party, the group makes their way in.
Even as they approached on foot from the outer hangar, the station was still quiet with most outer doors being locked. Forcing their way in they would soon encounter hostiles inside. With a blaster battle ensuing, Kileo along with Erisey would reveal the location had been attacked by pirates and had locked Tilk'olaire and his men up, in the cells below. Blasting their way deeper into the station the group would eventually manage to find Tilk'olaire.
However their rescue was short lived when the station's self destruct initiated. With little time to escape and needing crucial intelligence for their jump into the Expanse, Rhyley makes the order to try and stop the self destruct. With Tilk'olaire giving instructions, they manage to force their way into the epicentre of the station, killing the pirate leader, Skizz in the process. There Kileo Dimoh would slice her way into the system and end the countdown of the self destruct. Having saved the station and Tilk'olaire, the Rebels were able to make an important ally in the system as well as recover the Intel needed to make their jump to the Expanse.
Further aiding with repairs to the station, two days would pass before the Bulkyare and the Tantive V, began their jump into the Expanse, and to a meeting with the Alkainians.
===Warped Religions and False Gods===
Arriving at The Expanse, the Corellian Corvette Tantive V, flanked by the Alliance Gunship Bulkyare came to a slow crawl. With Rhyley Stargazer commanding the Bulkyare, last minute systems checks were being undertaken by his crew whilst Princess Leia Organa contacted the leaders of the planet, Alkain. With strange small bug-like star-fighter ships creeping towards them, Leia's request for an audience was granted, the Ascenion assembling s Drahgoon Fleet to intercept the Rebel Diplomatic Flotilla in orbit.
Agreeing to a show of good will, Leia ordered the Tantive V and Bulkyare to power down all shields and weapons. Unhappy by this order and with the apprehension of the readings they were gathering from the Alkainain vessels most notably their shielding, Rhyley disguised their ship's capabilities with a move known to him as the Corellian Bluff. Pushing the emission of the vessel to a hundred and fifty percent, whilst lowering the power drain of the shields and weapons, it was a tactic he would often use as a smuggler. Then when seemingly shown to power-down he would dump emissions back to it's normal output, whilst it looked like the vessel has itself powered-down it's weapons and shield when indeed it had not.
With their ship appearing supposedly powered-down the two fleets would meet. With Erisey listening over the converse of Leia and Ascenion Grand Admiral Foic, the Bulkyare would encounter strange readings as one of the engines fail. With Bai'yle Norssohn able to rectify the situation, the circumstance was largely forgotten as again their attention turned back to the correspondence between Organa and Foic.
Suddenly and without warning from their view-screen in the Bulkyare, the Tantive V would fire missiles at the Drahgoon Fleet. With two ships having been hit, and exploding on impact, Stargazer orders those onboard the Bulkyare to battle-stations, engaging in the fire fight that ensues rapidly and positioning the Bulkyare between the remaining Ascenion ships and the Tantive V. Expecting to fight their way out of the expanse, Leia Organa orders the Rebel Fleet to stand down, and surrenders herself to the Ascenion Force. With the Ascenions agreeing, Rhyley inserts himself at Leia's side, refusing to allow her to stand trial on her own on foreign soil.
Tasking his unit with finding out what happened as well as to hatch a rescue attempt, Stargazer leaves, joining Organa before the two are taken onboard the Drahgoon Capital Ship and head to Alkain to stand trial for war crimes against Alkain. Arriving at the court, their accompanying droid was destroyed by the Ascenions and their trial a farce, as soon both Rhyley and Leia were moved to a prison named Tracalix to spend the rest of their lives.
At Tracalix, Rhyley along with Leia would under go Ascenion Meta-Torphix, their bodies to be remade via Alkain Technology into adopting the Ascenion way of life, however both proved far more difficult to alter compared to ordinary Humans on Falucio. Eventually thanks to the help of a fellow human inmate, Relic, Stargazer and Organ would lead a group of human prisoners in overthrowing their Ascenion captors and trying to flee the prison. As luck would have it, the other members of Stargazer's Commandos lead by Erisey Casoona-Kitani would arrive and aid the overthrowing of those in charge at Tracalix. Escaping Alkain thanks to the new Falucian ship acquired by the unit's trip to Falucio would see Rhyley and Leia rejoined with the other Rebels at the Dakmir Asteroid Belt rendezvous point.
===Hidden Hope===
Though the operation in the Draxial System proves to be a failure, after taking various readings of the nearby sectors, Stargazer would lead the unit aboard the Gunship Bulkyare towards uncharted space, before finally encountering a terrestrial world that could support life. Sending probes down to the planet, before returning to the Rebel Rendezvous Point, he would report his findings to Princess Leia Organa, who at the behest of Alliance Command, would go back to the new world to investigate it further.
Arriving above the planet, still receiving information regarding the planet from the landed probe, the Bulkyare along with the Tantive V wait in orbit as they send more probes down to the ground. As further data comes back signalling the possibility of sustaining life there Kileo Dimoh, Raedan Kitani and Erisey Casoona-Kitani highlight one such area as being the ideal location to set up a base of operations. Delivering their report to Organa, she later orders Stargazer and his unit to land, and scout the area.
Landing at the location of the downed pod of the probe droid, the unit scout their new surroundings before investigating the pod. With no problems evident at the pod, the unit would soon learn that the probe droid they were tracking had stopped transmitting it's signal. With no other choice that to investigate, members of the unit head into the dense forests in search of the probe droid, heading towards it's last known position. Travelling over two clicks to find the location, they would see the probe droid completely powered down.
With the sun setting, they make camp in the mountains, recovering the data from the dead probe droid before spending the night chatting, telling stories and playing sabacc around the camp fire. As members retreated to their sleep sacks for the night, Raedan Kitani and Rhelex Jubulii would take first watch over the camp. Hours pass before Rhelex wakes Rhyley Stargazer for his watch. As the three men converse a group of six small furry creatures make their way into the camp.
Not expecting any aggression, Raedan goes to stroke one of the creatures, where he is seized upon by the small animals. Frantically Raedan tries to get them off, screaming for aid from the laughing Stargazer and Jubulii, who see no foul to the small 'furrballs' play, however little did they know the animals were trying to drain Raedan's power supply. With Raedan finally realising what the animals were up to, he would manage to throw and kick the creatures off, who would then launch their attack on the cybernetic appendages of Stargazer and Jubulii.
Waking the whole camp up in their ruckuss, the six animals manage to drain every blaster in the camp, as well as a large chunk of Raedan's power supply and back up generators. Not only that, but all their comm. devices and datapads had been absorbed of all power stores. Effectively they were cut off from all communications with their ship, however Meevi Tracyn manages to catch one of the small balls of fluff before the other five escape.
Left with only a few items still with any charge, and Raedan's power supply down to twenty percent, the group utilises a torch to re-power Kaje-James' Bacta Pod, while they hook up a comm. to Raedan in the hope he may be able to boost a signal to the gunship. With no response coming from the Gunship, their hopes fade as Cayla Dunestrider comes over the hill. Handing over her own comm., she begins communicating with the trapped animal as Kileo directs Bai'yle Norssohn in the gunship towards Exao Gunn and Kaje-James Reilloc who had found an area for the gunship to land. With Norssohn on his way, Meevi and Exao carry Raedan to the landing spot as Cayla allows the animal to go free on the promise it would leave them alone.
===Revival and New Paths===
Back on-board the gunship, Stargazer announces the changes by command to the unit. With Raedan and wife Erisey now moving to Alliance Intelligence along with Kileo Dimoh, it would also be known that Exao Gunn would be re-assigned to the newly formed unit, Chasdy's Commandos. Taking their time in orbit, the group socialise before the Mon Cal Cruiser, Home One exits hyperspace above the planet, now known as Arbra along with the rest of the Sullust-based Fleet. Landing in the hangar of the capital ship, the group disperse and Rhyley immediately pays a visit to his father and Crix Madine regarding their new orders. Though unhappy due to the pulling of Erisey and Raedan and later Exao from his unit, Rhyley convinces the men to allow him to recruit new members to the unit that had been instrumental in the Draxial System.
After visiting his grandparent's on Chandrila, Rhyley would retrieve his ship, Rogue Star from his grandfather's shipyards before being sent to Arbra with new directives from General Crix Madine. Landing on the relatively new planet the unit manage to have some down time as Rhyley begins making changes to the unit. Deciding to give Rhelex a chance at being in charge, the Corellian pilot offers the Mandalorian Warrior the position of being his second-in-command and the proposition of being made Lance Corporal. Following a lengthy converse, Rhelex accepts Rhyley's offer before heading back out with the unit. Meanwhile it is during this time, that Rhyley also offers both Sava Stary and then later Meevi Tracyn a position within Stargazer's Commandos, which both accept.
With his plans starting to be put into effect, Stargazer would suddenly be called in to the southern command centre, along with Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani for a meeting. Not quite knowing what to expect, when Rhyley arrives he comes face to face with a man he recognises from Echo Base on Hoth, Romas Navander. Taking a place in the back of the room, Stargazer listens whilst Navander introduces himself as Dimoh and Kitani's newest senior officer. As their converse continues, it would become clear that Princess Leia Organa was hoping to establish a contact within the Black Sun Crime Organisation in the hope of uncovering Intel regarding the captured and missing Rebel Captain, Han Solo. With the Intelligence Commander looking to Kitani, Dimoh and Stargazer for an insight to the Black Sun, knowing he couldn't offer anything that Raedan or Kileo could offer, Rhyley remains quiet as he is handed a datapad regarding the Black Sun, before the news would suddenly arrive that Organa, along with Lando Calrissian, had left for Coruscant aboard Captain Solo's Millennium Falcon for a likely showdown with the Black Sun.
As Navander passes new orders, their time together as a unit would suddenly come to a drastic end. Having been ordered to leave immediately for the cruiser, Defiance, Raedan along with Kileo would quickly pack as Rhyley informs the remaining members of the unit. Whilst this is going, orders would also come for Exao Gunn's immediate rendezvous with Baydo Chasdy aboard the Cruiser, Independence. With their three friends leaving, Rhyley bids a tearful farewell to the people that had become family to him, with Raedan, Exao and Kileo soon leaving aboard a shuttle. Returning to the mess hall, the Corellian pilot would find Kaje-James Reilloc drinking heavily inside. With Meevi having indicated that Kaje seemed to break down when he looked at the Black Sun data the Alliance had managed to acquire, Stargazer questions Kaje regarding the datapad he received from Romas Navander.
Learning of how a female dancer on the list, Taia Vassic was a former acquaintance of Reilloc's, he would soon learn just how much the woman actually meant to the usual buoyant pilot, having rescued her previously from Black Sun thugs before falling in love with the woman. With Kaje hoping to go to Coruscant to find his former lover, Rhyley decides to help his friend, and prepares his things before he along with others board a shuttle back to Home One. Returning to Coruscant, they find no sign of Taia Vassic and flee the planet from Black Sun forces and are witness to the destruction of the Skyhook, resulting in the death of Prince Xizor.
==Destiny's Way (6 ABY - 7 ABY)==
===Heat of the Desert===
Unable to fully absorb the news of Exao's demise at Filve, Rhyley requests that he along with his unit be chosen in the rebel operation to uncover what happened on Filve and to re-establish the resistance and commanding officers that were theorised to be trapped on the planet. Utilising intelligence gathered by intelligence members, Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani, Stargazer would soon put into play a plan to get to Filve. Making their way to Corulag, Rhyley would split the group up. Keeping Kaje and Cayla aboard the Flash Point, and having Rhelex lead a strike team on planet that consisted of Raedan, Iota Dhegon and Meevi Tracyn, he along with Sava Stary and Kileo Dimoh would travel to the site of the Imperial Outpost following Raedan's efforts to locate the location.
Arriving at the base, the three former Imperials manage to trick their way into the compound. With Rhyley heading straight for the shuttle, Kileo and Sava would split off and try to destabilise the communications and security net for the base. Able to scramble the compound's defences, they would soon rendezvous with Rhyley at the shuttle before lifting away from the planet without any problems. With Kaje and Rhelex re-grouping without trouble the two ships would reconvene at Chanmea, all boarding the shuttle and transferring their equipment to the imperial ship before making their way to Filve.
Arriving at Filve the shuttle would have to deal with getting onto the planet, and faced the daunting sight of the Executor, the Galactic Empire's Star Dreadnaught. Utilising the shuttle's imperial codings, the group managed to get by the blockade before abandoning the ship on the surface of the planet, taking as much of their equipment as they could carry before scouting onwards for a place to set up camp. Following a brief skirmish with Imperial scouting teams, the group would finally stop inside a cave in the mountains.
Setting the group to action Rhyley would spend the first days on the planet making sure camp was secure and trying to get the communications equipment to work that Raedan had broken. Re-grouping with the scout team in the nearby city, Rhyley along with Meevi would make their way across the desert towards Raedan and Kaje. Arriving the two men would see the whole of their force regroup before planning an assault on the Dead Hand Slave Base they had come across. With Rhyley along with Cayla leading a charge following Sava, Iota and Meevi springing their trap, the two Jedi would sneak in and draw enough attention as Kaje, Kileo and Raedan made their way towards the bases communications to disrupt any imperial broadcasts. Once overcoming the resistance, the group would come across Alliance members starving and kept in cells. Quickly realising they could not withstand an Imperial counter-attack, the sudden arrival of Exao Gunn and Lijet would mean the group quickly abandon the location and return to the base camp.
With key Alliance personnel now freed, Rhyley would direct the group to uncovering further Alliance personnel, whilst he remained at the base to coordinate their efforts with our resistance cells that had formed on the planet. With news that Baydo Chasdy had been found, and a host of Rebel members now gathering in the camp within the caves that they had established, their plans started to finally bring fruit. However with the planet's heat proving to be the biggest difficulty they had encountered and supplies now close to dwindling, Rhyley would put together a plan to recover supplies from a nearby supply base.
With supplies eventually recovered, the group decided to finish their mission with the resistance fully established on the planet. Not to his surprise Chasdy would remain on the planet to help coordinate the future efforts of the resistance. Rhyley meanwhile would lead his men in capturing an Imperial Corvette before making their way back to Arbra.
===Death===
Back on Arbra, Rhyley would sit through a series of debriefings with Major Bren Derlin before being signed off on leave and allowed to relax in the base. The next day Rhyley spent his free time mainly working on his personal ship Rogue Star before venturing into the canteen for a drink and something to eat. Whilst talking with Kileo, Kaje and Cayla, the young man would suddenly suffer a nosebleed. Unable to stop the bleeding, Rhyley decided to check himself into the medical bay, however as he stood, the young man would suddenly become dizzy before collapsing.
Rushed into the med-bay the young man would display an alarmingly high temperature and rapid pulse and breathing, where upon Kaje would diagnose Rhyley's heart as entering Ventricular Fibrillation, a very rapid and irregular beating of the heart, thus requiring the use of an electrical defibrillator to reset the heart into a normal rhythm. Upon first trying this, the defibrillation actually stopped Rhyley's heart, which restarted on the second attempt along with reverting to a normal rhythm. Rhyley's body still hot and his pulse now calmer, the young man slips into a coma like state.
Remaining in the state for a few days, events elsewhere in the galaxy would further deteriorate Rhyley's condition. With the Dathomiri witch suffering poisoning, her inability to treat herself would reflect across the bond on Rhyley as he drew on his strength to try and heal her through their connection. Only resulting in the further destabilising his current well being, Cayla Dunestrider would remain at his side in the hopes of nursing Rhyley through this period. Reaching out to him with the force, she would join Rhyley, as he would relive memories of the past during his journey towards the celestial plain.
With the worsening condition of Aniwevei happening elsewhere, the young witch would suddenly have her own heart stopped, which would severe her bond to Rhyley. Unable to sustain his body without such a force connection, Rhyley's own heart would systematically stop as a result. With Medics completely baffled as to how this has occurred, Cayla would try to rekindle the light within Stargazer, and replace his broken connection with one to her instead. Only after sending her feelings of love to him through the force, would a connection be born.
Now stabilised, Rhyley's body would make a quick recovery, however it was several hours before the young Corellian would wake.
===Broken===
Upon awakening the young man was clearly mentally fatigued from the recent events. Unable to move properly, his mental state would worsen as he soon learned what had happened to him. Hearing of what Cayla had been through in order to revive him, the young pilot would thank his Jedi friend before trying to rest. It was during that time visited by Kileo Dimoh, that Rhyley would concede to the Naboo female that he had actually wished he were dead. Mentally scarred by what has happened and fearful of his new connection to the female Jedi, after being visited by his family, Rhyley would decide to leave Arbra aboard the Rogue Star and be unavailable to the Alliance Military, having been signed to compassionate leave, stubbornly refusing to listen to the advice given by his family and friends as well as the medical personnel assigned to him.
Still physically weak the young man would leave without telling any of those close to him his next destination, deciding upon a path once in orbit and heading for the remote planet of Rhen Var. Landing at a former Alliance Communications Outpost, Rhyley would explore the near by ruins before stumbling into a cave and coming across a tomb. Awakening the spirit of a former Jedi, Rhyley would gain an insight into the Jedi as he dealt with the burdening of his new bond to Cayla as it slowly grew stronger.
Spending weeks alone on the snow planet gave Rhyley time to reflect on his role within the Alliance, the Galactic War and his use of the Force. Contacting Cayla Dunestrider, he would confide in her his own concerns of himself, and of what the future would hold for him. Still unsure of himself and whether he would ever return to the Alliance or his family and friends, he would send the female back to the Rebel Base on Arbra without him.
===Coming Home===
A few days passed after being with Cayla before the young pilot would decide to return to Arbra and his duty within the Rebellion. Arriving at Haven Base Stargazer would be immediately informed that his unit had been called up for a briefing from Admiral Ackbar regarding the latest Rebel Stratagem, Operation Strike Back. Making his way to the briefing room, Rhyley would keep near the back and remain quiet as he listened to the plans for attacking the Imperial Stronghold of Orupia within the Sega System in order to destabilise the Imperial Fleet at the Kuat System.
Though the plan and operation sounded ambitious to him, the idealistic Corellian hid his insecurities as best he could. Called into a further meeting with General Laryn Kre'fey and his father Major Taei Wynonyms, Stargazer would receive verbal warnings from the Bothan General regarding his unit, his conduct and his duty within the Alliance. Informed of various changes within his own unit, all made by the outspoken General, Stargazer held his tongue and impassively agreed to most orders before the young man would seek out General Crix Madine.
Expressing his concern to the Corellian Special Forces Expert, Madine would advise Stargazer as best to do his duty to the Alliance and appear in how to appease Kre'fey. Understanding the sudden difficulty in relations between some of the Bothans and the Alliance, Rhyley focused himself on preparing his unit as best he could for the assault of Normaic in Kre'fey's Operation Neptor.
Calling a meeting of those in his unit together to speak about the task expected of them at Orupia, the group would devise a strategy of using White Noise with Smoke and Holograms in order to deceive the Imperial Forces at Normaic enough in order to enable them to launch a surprise assault and quickly turn the odds in their favour. Happy with their plans, Stargazer accepted the insights of Reilloc, Tracyn, Gunn, Dimoh and it's newest member, Weekat Matiren in his tactical planning.
With only days remaining before the operation was put into play, Stargazer took most of his time seeing to the various equipment they would need and making sure they were ready for use. Spending time getting used to the Rebel issued AT-RTs, Rhyley would also take Cayla away to instruct her on how to pilot a T-47 Airspeeder where the two would spend some time alone away from the Rebel Base. Trying to conceal his concern and worry, and after finalising the last checks on the Bulkyare, Rhyley would spend the last few moments he had with his family and friends before the fateful day of the operation would finally come.
===The Price We Pay===
Rendezvousing with the rest of the unit within the walls of Haven Base, the unrest and nervousness is obvious in the faces of those that had gathered. With pack in hand, Stargazer boards the ship, Bulkyare, and leaves Arbra as they group with the rest of the Fleet at Sullust. Watching the mass gathering of Alliance ships of all sorts of sizes, Stargazer orders the last few checks to be carried out on the ship as they await their orders to jump.
Finally it came. Kre'fey initiated his fleet's jump to the Arcadia Sector, directly into conflict with an Imperial Fleet high above Orupia. With the battle at it's crucial point, Ackbar initiates a tactical stratagem to cripple the Imperial Star Destroyers as Kaje Reilloc, weaves the Bulkyare towards a Rebel Transport swarmed with TIE Fighters whilst turret gunners Meevi Tracyn, Weekat Matiren, Raedan Kitani and Cayla Dunestrider do their best to take out Imperial fighters.
Whilst Ackbar's flag ship is placed in between two Imperial Star Destroyers, the two vast Imperial capital ships suddenly stop firing from fear of hitting the other Imperial vessel. It is a moment that gives Ackbar his moment to deliver a critical blow to the Imperial ships. The main guns rain fire down upon the two dagger shaped vessels, as explosions rock the grey vessels, before the two explode on sight.
Then the unthinkable happened. As the Bulkyare quells the numbers of Imperial Fighters swarming the Transport Alderaan, two Imperial Gunboats opened up an array of missiles into the rear of the Alliance Gunship. The explosions rocked the small vessel, immediately dropping their shields critically low, and rupturing the sensors and scanners of the vessel. The Bulkyare was now flying blind.
Peeling away from the combat, a series of tactical manoeuvres ordered by Rhyley and carried out by Kaje kept the ship from breaking apart, but with fires now breaking out across the ship, the men and women inside knew it couldn't take much more. Finally they received the order that the planetary shield was down. Turning about and sending the vessel in a quick descent to the planet's surface, the barrage of fire coming up from the surface of the small world hit the Rebels hard.
With the Deviant Flight leading the way, it's ship's shielding could not take the heat of such weaponry. As each blast sunk into the hull, they soon lost all shielding before the vessel exploding without warning. Nicey was gone. As their own ship took a pounding, diverting as much of the non-critical systems to the shields in the hope of saving them from the same fate as that of the Deviant Flight, the concerns would not fall, as alarms began to ring of the hull becoming ruptured.
Knowing the ship was breaking apart, Rhyley still in shock by the sudden death of his friend begins ordering his allies to abandon ship. With Sava Stary, Tracyn, Kitani, Dimoh and Dunestrider among the first to bail. Exao Gunn and Matiren would destroy the ship's databases to make certain who ever found the wreckage could not gain any crucial Rebel data, before they two entered an escape pod and began their own descent to the ground.
Stargazer and Reilloc now the only two remaining, the two skilled pilots would set the ship on with a direct collision with a mountain range, before gathering their equipment and leave the ship that had become a home away from home to them for the very last time.
Landing on Orupia, Rhyley awakes first, and manages to awake Kaje before the two set off towards Kileo's fallen pod, having heard that Sava and Meevi needed medical aid. Re-grouping and following the Stary and Tracyn's initial recovery, the group begin their trek to Ground Zero, seven clicks away.
===Cross-fire and Walkers===
Arriving at Ground Zero, still struggling with the sudden death of his closest friend, Rhyley orders those in the unit to try and recover the equipment they had lost in the Bulkyare from the Rebel supplies at the temporary base whilst he contacts General Kre'fey. Informed as to the current status of the Rebel Offensive, still hiding his feelings from everyone, he would lead preparations of their attack on Normaic. Able to attain crucial equipment to aid their endeavour as well as hearing that his brother's unit, led by Judder Page, had been moved in to guard their tails, Stargazer focused himself on preparing his assigned T-47 Airspeeder.
With Raedan managing to achieve his ploy of using Digital Radar Frequency Modifying to alter the data received by the Imperial Radars at Normaic, and the mortar strikes landing their package and deploying the smoke screen to further aid their ploy of coaxing the Imperial AT-ATs onto beaches, Kileo initiated the Hologram Deployment, as Rhyley and Kaje lead their T-47s towards Normaic.
Passing the Hologram Projection on their way to Normaic, reports came in of TIE FIghters heading towards their location. With Rogue Squadron deployed to intercept the TIEs, the two speeders finally came into view of the smoke screen. slipping through, the monstrous sight of two AT-ATs soon came into view. Splitting formation, Stargazer and Reilloc each focused on trying to down one of the AT-ATs whilst skimming the Base's defence turrets. With the Empire having more power at their disposal than expected within Normaic Base, Stargazer immediately veered his vessel towards the AT-AT's vulnerable legs, all the while taking blaster fire to the speeder's nose. With his gunner, Kesin Ommis, scoring a hit with the harpoon and toe cable, Stargazer swooped around the Imperial walker's legs until they buckled and sent it falling to the sand.
With news that Kaje had managed to fell the other walker as well, the young Corellian would watch as his wing-mate would take a hit that crippled it's engines and sent it splashing into the water. Trying to provide as much cover as he could whilst Kaje and his gunner, Dorovio Bold, retreated, Rhyley's vessel would become the main focus of imperial fire. Washing the ship in a quick succession of shots, Rhyley's engines would explode and send the T-47 spiralling towards an abandoned building on the shore of the beach. Crashing into the side of the building, Rhyley and Kesin were lucky to crawl free from the vehicle, as Stary in the newly acquired AT-XT leading the Tantive Speeder with the remainder of the unit arrived just in time to launch their assault.
===Hit and Miss===
With Stary pressing the main assault, Rhyley, struggling with an injury, and Kesin would group with Kaje and Dorovio before the two pilots would make their own way up the beach and join the assault, leaving Ommis and Bold to contact Alliance Command in order to update them of the progress of Stargazer's assault. With various heavy weapons deployed by the Empire at the mouth of the base, including E-Web Nests and the small agile AT-ST Walkers, Rhyley and Kaje use cover as much as possible, whilst they made their way towards the rest of the unit. Finally re-grouping, Kaje would follow Meevi Tracyn towards the main entrance, as Rhyley would divert his attentions towards the west side.
Still hobbling from injury, the young man would take his time before he eventually came alongside Cayla Dunestrider, where the two would take an observation position to help guide Stary's forward assault. With the way into the base looking like more of a suicide effort, Rhyley and Cayla would divert around the far side of the base looking for a way in. Finding a corner where climbing might be possible, Stargazer would help Dunestrider up, enabling her to light her lightsaber and cut the barbed wire to enable her to sneak in. Once inside and with the coast clear, Rhyley himself would pull up to the top of the wall, before calling the others to enter this way.
Joined by Stary, Dimoh and Matiren, Exao Gunn would remain in position at the main entrance should the situation change along with Meevi Tracyn and Kaje Reilloc. Meanwhile Stargazer in helping Stary, Dimoh and Matiren to climb over the wall, would fall from atop the wall with Matiren falling on him, further aggravating his injury. Crawling to cover, Rhyley would take rest as Stary and Dunestrider mauled over the Imperial Stormtroopers that had gathered not far from them. Deciding to investigate the opposite direction, Rhyley noticed that the E-Web nest deployed at the mouth of the bunker they were using as cover was facing the opposite way to them. Opting to sneak by he along with Kileo, Sava, Weekat and Cayla managed to make their way quietly into the bunker, quickly taking out the forces inside, with both Rhyley and Cayla using their Lightsabers.
With a chance to recover from his injury, Matiren and Dunestrider would provide cover at the entrance to the building whilst Kileo would quickly set about slicing the building's main terminal. Accidentally tripping the scanners of the e-web nests to see friendlies as foes, the sudden surge of blaster fire outside would heighten the group's weariness. Hoping to do the same at the other bunkers as well as killing communications, the young female slicer managed to trip the emergency turret deployment in one of the bunkers as well as stop all coming communications before she was finally locked out of the system by Imperial counter-measures.
Carefully making their way out, the group would soon notice how the E-Webs had shot the Imperial Stormtroopers and AT-STs inside the base. Re-grouping with Gunn and the rest of the unit at the centre of the base, Rhyley would order the group to quickly neutralise the E-Web nests, before searching out any remaining Imperial Forces inside.
===Front Lines===
With the sudden arrival of a Rebel Gallofree Transport, Rebel Troops quickly deployed at the beachfront. Using their initiative to achieve their own small victory, Rhyley orders Sava, Kileo, Meevi, Kaje and Weekat to storm the last remaining bunker. As the Rebel Reinforcements arrive, General Kre'fey would finally appear, ordering Rhyley to order his unit to stand down so that the Bothan General could oversee this critical victory. Feigning that his communications unit was broken, Rhyley allowed Sava just enough time to take the Imperial Base.
With Normaic falling to the Rebels, Stargazer would soon hear of how Ackbar's Fleet had started to gain the upper hand in orbit. Still reeling over the personal loss of his best friend, an impassive Stargazer would listen to Kre'fey's critical judgement of him and his unit. Now ordered to defend the construction of the Rebel Benign Base, Stargazer and his allies would deploy in a defensive position and wait for Imperial Forces to arrive from Pareen. In the bloody battle that ensued, Stargazer along with Page's Commandos and the Troop Detachment, Royal Alderaanians would manage to defend the construction of the new Rebel Operations Base.
Finally with it looking as if Stargazer and his companions would be awarded a rest, Kre'fey informed him of the need to take Red Haven. Exhausted and weary from the battle so far, Rhyley reluctantly accepts his directives, whilst ordering those in his unit to prepare to march. Able to acquire the AT-RTs, the group would also strike upon the fortune of the AT-XT being repaired and the acquirement of two Mark IV Sentry Droids. With Stary piloting the AT-XT, Rhyley would order Gunn and Tracyn to mount the AT-RTs whilst Kileo and Kaje would get experience of utilising the Mark IVs.
With Meevi and Exao scouting on, the group would slowly make their way towards Red Haven.
===Ambush and Assaults===
With the threat of more Imperial attacks before they arrived at Red Haven, Stargazer would make use of Tracyn and Gunn aboard the AT-RTs. Sending them out on patrols along their intended route, following travelling over one click, Tracyn would soon report of a large incoming Imperial Force. Sending Sava on in the AT-XT to provide cover on retreat for Tracyn and Gunn, Kaje would provide Stargazer with the perfect Ambush point. Making their way to a small abandoned town, the derelict buildings would provide excellent cover to launch their ambush.
Waiting in position, the group would initiate their assault on the Imperial Force. With Stary and Meevi able to take down the three AT-STs, the remainder of the unit would focus on the ground troops. Quickly quashing the Imperials in a pincer like attack, it would soon come to rise that the group had suffered injuries in their ambush. Rushing over to help give aid, Weekat would find herself lucky to have come out with no injuries, though her armour was beyond repair. Meevi, Kaje and Kileo however would fair less fortunate. Multiple burn marks on her legs, saw the young female Nabooian in pain as Stary and Weekat tended her injuries. Meanwhile Rhyley would see to Kaje whose cyborg arm attachments were crippled by blaster fire, however the injuries suffered by the Mandalorian Meevi, would prove far more worrying with Stargazer having to call for Air Support to lift him back to Benign Base.
With Meevi now gone and having repaired Kaje's cybernetic limbs as best he can, following Kileo receiving the medical attention she needed, the group would take a quick rest before pressing on in their route to Red Haven. Making their way across the plains towards their intended location, Kileo would suddenly begin to display rather odd behaviour. Continually complaining of an eerie feeling watching over her, the group would frequently have to stop, to allow the young woman a chance to compose herself. The closer they drew to Red Haven however would see the severity of Kileo's condition worsen. With Gunn finding the location of a grave nearby, Kileo felt certain that it was this place that was inflicting such an impact on her.
Deciding to take a small detour towards the grave, Rhyley would wait silently as Kileo along with Cayla and Weekat investigated the tomb. With the group struggling with their weariness and tiredness, frailties within the group would soon come to light. Finally feeling able to push on, Rhyley again leads the group towards Red Haven.
===Losing Hope===
Making their way towards Juno Base, the group came to a stop a few hundred meters away from the Imperial Structure. Taking stock of the outlay of the location, they unknowingly had walked into an Imperial trap. Unable to offer any form of resistance, Rhyley surrendered immediately, ordering those with him to do so. Now on his knees and hands held behind his head, the young Corellian looked about frantically for anything to aid them, however as he listened to the snarling Imperial Officer behind him, his body was suddenly thrown forward after the Officer delivered a blaster shot to his back.
Though it burned and ached terribly, the charge of shot was purposeful low. Wanting to make the Rebels pay for their assault, the Officer delivered blows to Sava, Kaje and Exao as Rhyley lay with his face held in the dirt before him. With little odds of getting away, the sudden ambush lead by Captain Tian Rannos and his Royal Alderaanians along with Raedan Kitani was enough to buy them a distraction to struggle free. Though writhing in pain, Stargazer quickly rolled away, grabbing his DL44 Blaster Pistol and firing at the Imperials.
Able to struggle free of their predicament Raedan was wounded severely trying to aid his friends, as the sudden arrival of two Imperial AT-ST Walkers quickly restored the odds in the Empire's favour. Thrown into the air by a blast from one of the chicken-like walkers, Rhyley scrambled to his feet seeing Raedan in trouble he charged without regard for himself into one of the landed Imperial Drop-ships, pulling a disorientated Cayla Dunestrider with him. Finding himself at the controls, Rhyley brought the ship about lazily, and set it on a collision course with the AT-STs. Able to knock one over, he drew enough of the Imperial's attention to allow Sava to cripple the last remaining walker.
Crawling away from the wreckage, he along with Cayla would soon see the arrival of more Imperial Stormtroopers, lead by two troopers in jet black armour. Dazed from the collision of the ship, Cayla dragged him away as quickly as she could as she sensed the dark side users coming forward. Slowly coming to his sense Rhyley looked towards their dire situation. Deciding to sacrifice himself to allow his friends a chance at leaving, Rhyley pushed his female lover on before turning back to face the incoming imperial forces, saber in hand.
Having managed to get Raedan on-board an Imperial drop-ship, Sava flew the ship towards where the Royals and Cayla were located. With Gunn providing cover free from the tail of the Imperial vessel, Captain Rannos and Cayla slowly get onto the ship soon followed the Royals. Meanwhile one of the black Imperial troopers, leapt over the blaster fire from the vessel's rear turret, and thumbed her mauve saber on, charging down on Rhyley the young pilot did his best parry the heavy blow before the trooper delivered a force push to send him sprawling back on his rear. Surprised at the ability of the trooper, Stargazer drew his pistol and fired quickly at the Imperial though to no avail as his shots was easily blocked.
Leaping again at Stargazer, Rhyley could only block and parry the onslaught of the trooper's lightsaber, before again being thrown back. Holstering his pistol, and fearing that his friends would not escape, Rhyley called quickly on the Force, his anger and resent swelling as he lifted his right hand at the aggressor. A flood of electrical charge crept from his fingers and though did not hit it's target, it did enough to surprise the Trooper to allow Exao to shoot her from the turret. Shocked and surprised at what he had just done, Rhyley lifted up into the drop-ship as three Imperial TIE Fighters entered their sector.
Making for the Rebel Fleet, Rhyley immediately informed Fleet Command and General Kre'fey as to their situation. With Green Squadron covering their retreat, the group finally managed to board the Medical Frigate, Redemption.
===Pain and Suffering===
Back aboard the medical frigate, Rhyley would wait silently watching as Raedan received treatment for his various injuries. Refusing the aid of medics wishing to tend to his own wounds, Rhyley would struggle with a flood of emotions that grew in his mind and heart as he waited. Eventually pulling himself away, the young man would quietly slip from the room and taking solace within the cockpit of an A-Wing Starfighter, which lay on the frigate's vast hangar.
Following word from the front line that General Kre'fey had ordered Stargazer's unit to remain on the Frigate until further notice, Rhyley eventually sort medical aid though lost his patience quickly with the staff and withdrew before all his wounds had been seen to. With news that Raedan had finally been stabilised and was recovering, the young pilot remained at a distance from everyone, silently watching the news filter in from the ground forces.
Agitated and annoyed that he could not get back down to the surface more out frustration and anger for what had happened, the young pilot would soon begin thinking of ignoring his orders and carry out what he saw as their duty to the Alliance. With further words from Kaje and Sava fuelling this line of thought, Rhyley would decide whilst in the company of Raedan that this was indeed the decision he would make. Informing those healthy in his unit to meet him on the hangar, he would inform them of his decision to ignore Kre'fey's orders and land at Benign Base to re-initiate their attack on Juno Base.
Hearing that those in the unit had the same beliefs as his own, Rhyley and his companions would board a shuttle and head back to Benign under escort of Green Squadron. Communicating their decision to Kre'fey, Rhyley would cut the communication before he could hear the response from the Bothan, instead contacting Fleet Command for assistance on a Bombing Run to strike at Juno Base. Hearing that the request had been accepted and Rogue Squadron deployed, Stargazer and his allies would move silently into place near the Imperial location.
With the Rebel Y-Wings delivering their payload, Stargazer along with Cayla and Kaje made use of the lead assault initiated by Sava, Exao, Kileo and Weekat. Quietly getting to the rear of the base, the three Rebels attacked the base, moving through the location before re-grouping with Exao and the others. Now with the Imperial Forces being beaten back, the group splits to deal with the last remaining pockets of resistance inside the structure.
===The Long Road Ahead===
With Juno Base now in the hands of the Rebels, Rhyley contacts command to inform them of their success. Soon Rebel Personnel would quickly arrive to take the base properly, with General Laryn Kre'fey soon arriving there after. Having to endure a belittling in front of his peers at the hands of the Bothan General, Rhyley was informed that he would be brought up on charges for his misconduct following the Battle for Orupia. Refusing to allow any of his unit to take the blame, Rhyley insisted he ordered all of those under his direction to undertake his decision to assault the Imperial location, effectively placing more blame at his feet.
Eventually dismissed, Rhyley gathered with the others but felt unable to remain in their presence. Drifting apart from those he had always seen as his closest friends, the young man took solace in a storage chamber, where he was eventually joined by Cayla. Hearing her concern over his physical well being, the young Corellian remained passive, with his mind on other things. With orders regarding their move to Pareen filtering through, Rhyley tended to his gear and kept a distance from most. After a while the young man would seek out Exao, asking the young Talusian to spar with him, Stargazer would give indication of the changing and challenging times that lay ahead.
Soon the Corellian pilot would again be called in for a conference briefing from the Bothan General Kre'fey. Receiving the full breadth of orders regarding their move to the Orupian city, Rhyley readies his unit to prepare the long five day jaunt to the old capital. Along the way the group would discover strange erections in the valleys, of odd looking structures that had an eerie presence when near them that on one instance would cause Cayla to break down.
Their progress however was painfully difficult, Kileo soon becoming embroiled with a voice only she could hear would delay their journey as the young women repeatedly struggled with whatever was affecting her. At odds as to whether she was telling the truth or if it was some sort of elaborate hoax, Stargazer felt unable to do anything but force her to push on. Suddenly and violently the young female would break down, screaming that her hand was burning when there was nothing visible harming her. Watching in surprise as Sava pulled his blaster weapon and sunk a stun shot into the female's back, the group were truly shaken.
===The Deathly Dusk===
Pressing on towards their destination, Rhyley would remain largely quiet, observing the terrain for anything out of the ordinary as the group followed behind, Sava carrying the unconscious Kileo in his arms. Approaching the wastelands of Orupia, known for it's freezing temperatures, the group would happen to come across a large Imperial Presence at a ruin. Taking cover the group watched afar as they tried to make their way around to keep from being seen, however the sudden awakening of Kileo Dimoh and the subsequent hysteria she would cause almost gave their location away. With the Empire pulling out not caring for the disturbance that the Rebels had made, Stargazer along with Exao Gunn would inspect the location wondering just what the Imperials were looking for. Unable to ascertain anything, the group made on towards the snowy dunes of the north.
Entering the ice region, the venture towards Pareen became harder than ever. With temperatures dropping consistently under freezing the group did all they could to remain focused on the task at hand even against the odds. Stargazer himself would become more observant, withdrawing from converse, and trying to keep his energy levels up whilst battling against the extreme cold. It was in the freezing snow that the group would find a crater of immense proportion. Realising that this crater had been created artificially, Stargazer wondered if the Empire had been up to more on the planet than they or their superiors had first realised.
With Cayla able to acquire snow beasts to allow the group to cross the snow landscape all the more faster than walking, the trip through the freezing cold was soon over, when they finally entered the southern Pareen Alps, and rendezvoused with Captain Tian Rannos and the Royal Alderaanians.
===Returning to Orupia===
At the rendezvous word would begin to filter through from the Alliance High Command regarding the current situation in Kuat. Having scored a vital blow against the Imperial Shipyards that adorn the Kuat Sector, Ackbar's plan had worked and thus began a full-scale retreat from the front lines by the Rebel Alliance. On the journey back, a sombre mood descended on Stargazer and his companions as they began to think of the pains that they had struggled through to help the Alliance to win one of the first battles since the disastrous defeats of Hoth and New Plympto.
The loss of Bai'yle and Rhelex in the fight to get to the planet still haunted his memories and consciousness, the near fatal injuries to so many in his unit, and the strange behaviour that had developed among Kileo and Cayla did little to quell his feelings of despondency within the Alliance. Having returned to the fleet, the Alliance Flotilla jumped from Orupia to the Fortua System some light years away. It was there however that General Laryn Kre'fey would order the arrest of Rhyley Stargazer and his companions.
Having heard of the order, Crix Madine immediately went to challenge Laryn Kre'fey's orders. With Stargazer in custody, he re-iterated that none of those in his unit were to blame, and that they were simply following his directives. With the arrest order now changed to only keep Rhyley in custody, Kre'fey used his contacts within the newly placed Bothan Officers to gather support for his actions against the young Rebel. A stalemate ensued with Madine furious to see that one of his units was being used as a scapegoat for why Kre'fey had taken so long to break the Imperial Lines at the Orupian front. With tensions already getting to new low points between the Alliance and its new Bothan brothers, something had to be done and quickly.
Concocting a way to get Rhyley out of custody, with Kre'fey's blessing, Madine gave an order to send Stargazer back to the planet they had retreated from. Kre’fey saw this as a suicide mission, and was grateful that one of the people that had upstaged him on Orupia would no longer be amongst the living. With little choice Stargazer accepted and withdrew to gather his things for his next mission. Spending a tender moment with Cayla relaying his fears that he felt out of control to her, the young man eventually took to the stars and headed back to Orupia.
===Messages from Afar===
Aboard his ship, Firestar, Rhyley exits hyperspace over Orupia, immediately coming into contact with an Imperial Fleet. With little choice to run the blockade onto the planet, Stargazer is fortunate to slip through the first stockade by the Empire's ships thanks mainly to the overwhelming firepower he had over the TIE Fighters that were in orbit. However pushing towards the surface, being out-numbered by so many TIE Fighters, Stargazer's ship begins to take damage, and is sent down on a beach on continent Cerafe. Abandoning his ship, Rhyley watches from a hidden viewpoint as an Imperial Recovery Team takes his vessel.
With little with him aside from the rations in his pack and two weapons that hang from his hips, Rhyley makes his way into a nearby town wrought with destruction due to the battles that had occurred in the area. Maintaining a low profile, Stargazer's sudden appearance would ring alarm bells with the local citizens not recognising, and noticing his odd accent lead them to fear he was a Rebel. With the Empire offering huge rewards to any citizen that captures any Rebel Agent and hands them over to the Imperial Forces, a group of locals try to swarm and overwhelm the Corellian pilot. Though equipped with both Saber and Blaster, his reluctance to fire against any citizen sees Rhyley flee and backed down into a dead end street.
With seemingly no way out, Rhyley fires warning shots at the approaching citizens in a bid to deter their efforts, yet still the citizens come. The sudden arrival of a group of Draksin freedom fighters however enables him to break free, and follows the Draksin to an underground crypt far bellow the capital city of Pareen. Finding his friend Raedan Kitani already amongst their number, Stargazer is shocked to find out that nearly all the Alliance Agents that were left behind on Orupia have been captured and killed by Imperial Forces and Orupian citizens.
Over the coming days and weeks, Rhyley would begin to gather intelligence on the city of Pareen and its Royal Palace.
===Feelings of the Heart===
After meeting with crucial contacts within Pareen, including such Draksin as Gaven Sel and the Resistance Leaders Moadeeb and Davine, Stargazer began to formulate a plan along with Raedan Kitani to take out the Imperial Presence at the Pareen Palace. Hoping to incite an insurrection, Davine and Moadeeb highlighted the need to assassinate the Orupian Princess Isa Valois. Having been against the idea, Rhyley's voice was out voted by both the Draksin and his brother Raedan. Surprised by their decision, Rhyley insisted that he was the only one capable of getting to the Royal Orupian without failure, in order to undertake assassination. Eventually all the men agreed.
Making his way into the building Rhyley made light work utilising his training and force abilities to get to the Princess' chambers without alerting any guards. Whilst he waited his prey would arrive, however as he was about to carry out the assassination, the untimely arrival of Lyonne would quickly alter his plans. Listening to how the two were in love, Rhyley would decide to change their plan of attack at the last moment, telling the Princess that she would aid the Draksin uprising that was going to take place in the coming weeks.
Returning to the underground headquarters of the Draksin Resistance, Stargazer would pass on his change of plans to the men that he had formulated his plans with. With Raedan stating that Rhyley's humanity was getting in the way of him performing his duties, Stargazer and Kitani were at odds with one another over the course of their plight.
===Orupian Civil War===
Managing to place a large resistance force inside the Palace under the guise of servants, Rhyley and Raedan waited for their moment to strike. Having been aiding by the Princess' Handmaidens and Ser Eline's Loyal Guards, the Resistance Force launched their unlikely uprising in the heart of the capital, Pareen. Hoping to quickly quell the Imperial Presence there, the battle would swing quickly in the allied forces favour as they slowly took over the Palace.
Forcing the Imperials into a hasty retreat, Rhyley along with Raedan would personally chase down two highlighted Imperial Agents that were known to carry crucial intelligence details. Forcing them into the hangar, the Agents would utilise an Imperial starfighter to ready their escape from Pareen. Having to rely on the Orupian Snubfighter, the poorly equipped vessel was no match for the abilities of the Imperial's starfighter, and the two agents retreated successfully.
Returning back to the Palace dejected but not defeated, Rhyley oversaw the completion of their uprising as their force successfully held the Palace and it's outer lying regions.
===Enemies From Within===
In the hours following the insurrection, Stargazer along with his allies would focus their efforts on establishing the security and defences of the Palace and Pareen as well as most regions nearby. Called from his duties by Princess Isa, Rhyley was personally asked to serve as her Draksyth Lord. The equivalent of a Commanding role over the entirety of her forces, Rhyley reluctantly accepted but only in temporary measure. With Isa addressing the people and nation of Cerafe with her aims of unifying the troubled Orupian and Draksin people including her impending marriage to her lover, Lyonne, Stargazer went to bed thinking they had turned an important corner in their resistance effort.
The next day however things would greatly change. Waking to a summons from the Princess, Rhyley would learn of hidden Orupian secrets, such as the ability to bring life to someone that has died. Troubled by his own thoughts, Madeer would alert Stargazer and the Princess that Lyonne had been found assassinated. Having been found by his brother Davine, the older Draksin was enraged that his younger brother had been assassinated. Placing the blame at the Orupians around him, when he had found out that he Princess decided against visiting the body of Lyonne, Davine felt himself compelled to force her. Attacking her guard and Handmaidens, in the ensuing scuffle, the elder man was killed accidentally by Raedan Kitani.
Suffering a huge set back only the day after their greatest success, Rhyley focused on uncovering the traitor that had caused so much upset. His searches however would reveal little, as another assassination would soon come to pass in the weeks following. With Ser Eline now dead, Rhyley would call Moadeeb back from the outer regions. Little did he know that it was already too late.
===In The Shadows===
Increasing the palace security Stargazer had no idea that the enemy was far closer than he realised. With Ser Eline now in the palace, the needed reshuffling of their Palace Defences caused a weakening of the outer-lying frontiers. That weakening was all the Empire needed to begin sneaking their own operatives into the Palace, further destabilising their fortification. With R43D4N-1 secretly working against Rhyley and Ser Eline, and the Princess also hindering the investigation process of learning the identity of Lyonne's killer, the Imperial replica-droid would strike his next victim. Ser Eline.
The death of Ser Eline was brought to Rhyley's attention only hours after the actual murder took place. Theorising that it could not have been the Princess or her party, freed up the young woman to slow Rhyley's investigation further by playing on his own insecurities. Learning out more about the man, she had her own Royal Guard find the remains of Bai'yle Norssohn and presented them as a gift to Rhyley. Struggling with his own emotions having been brought face to face with his dead brother's remains, 'Kitani' then set his own staged suicide.
In the space of just days, an unknown force inside the Palace physically and mentally beat Rhyley. Never realising that it was a plan perfectly played by the Princess and R43D4N-1, in an effort to have him surrender complete control to Imperial Forces without any fight, the arrival of his Rebel companions was timely enough in delaying Sly Moore's ultimate scheme.
===Old Friends===
Contacted by Exao Gunn, Stargazer was relieved to have finally gained a few new allies to help him control the palace, however no sooner had his friends arrived did the Empire launch their assault. With the sudden attack by hidden Imperial operatives inside the palace, Stargazer and Moadeeb did their best to keep their newly unified force from suffering a devastating blow as Imperial dropships surrounded the palace. Heading into the sewers, the men ordered a full-scale retreat and surrendered the palace to the Empire. With Princess Isa in tow, Rhyley did not have time to secure the bodies of Bai'yle Norssohn or Raedan Kitani in the retreat.
Settling in the ruins of a fallen temple outside of Pareen, Gunn informed Rhyley as to their efforts to help undermine the Imperial Palace. Seeing a chance to quickly retake the Palace, Rhyley offered the unified resistance force as a way to divert attention of the Imperials as Gunn and his allies made their move. Not knowing that Gunn was with R43D4N-3 who was posing as Raedan Kitani, Stargazer continued with Gunn's plan. Leading a huge scale force towards the Palace, they initiated their attack on the Pareen Royal Structure.
Pressing their way towards the centre of the palace, Rhyley would hear constant updates from Erisey regarding the process of the Rebels. Stargazer continued to lead the Unified Resistance Force till it finally retook the Royal Hangars. Making his way inside Rhyley was again re-united with his rebel friends, and saw for the first time R43D4N-3. Unbelieving his eyes, thinking Raedan was already dead and yet seeing the body of his fallen brother bleeding profusely, Rhyley rushed to his side to help Weekat Matiren stabilise the cyborg's worsening condition.
Ordering Moadeeb to assume command of the Unified Resistance Force, when Sava and Kaje landed a ship inside the Hangar, Rhyley helped carry the body of R43D4N-3 on board. Finding out how the Empire had taken Kileo with them and flee, Stargazer was torn. Knowing that Norssohn and who he believed was Raedan's remains were still somewhere in the palace, his first inkling was to return to Orupia once Kitani was stabilised. Told that there'd be no way Kaje or Sava would return to Orupia whilst Kileo was heading towards Coruscant, Rhyley told them to head to the Fortua System and the Rebel Fleet, insisting they could not help Kileo in their current capacity. Accepting his insight Kaje put the ship on course with Home One.
===Betrayal===
Arriving at Home One, Stargazer along with Gunn were immediately summoned for a debrief with General Crix Madine and Major Taei Wynonyms. Surprised at the seemingly heightened level of caution surrounding them, Rhyley sees 'Raedan' taken away by medics under guard. Realising something is wrong, Rhyley gives his version of the events that happened on Orupia. Eventually told that his unit is going to be placed on inactive until each have undergone psychological evaluations, Rhyley gets enough time to warn Sava to get off ship and find Kileo.
Making their way back to their bunks, Rhyley along with Erisey and Rishowlmhroor ponder their situation. Wanting to end possible concerns about who 'Raedan' was, Rhyley suggests that Rishowlmhroor, Ket Cellon and Sevax return to Orupia to recover the body of 'Kitani' and Norssohn. Accepting their suggestion, Madine allows Rishowlmhroor, Celoon and Sevax leave before the start of the evaluations, though warns Rhyley that he can no longer protect the unit because Stary, Reilloc and Matiren had fled the fleet.
It would not be long before Rhyley was called in for his evaluation. Shocked to find Doctor Eleyenora Roseward leading the tests, Rhyley would try and dodge her questions as best he could. Eventually allowed to leave, he would see Rishowlmhroor return from Orupia before being called into his psychological evaluation. Learning that only the body of Norssohn was recovered, eventually the Wookiee along with Gunn would also complete his psychological evaluation.
Allowed to see Madine, hoping to be allowed to head to Coruscant to help Kaje, Sava and Weekat rescue Kileo, Stargazer is ordered to not do anything regarding those away. Instead he is informed with Exao and Risho that Commander Romas Navander has defected to the Empire. Fearing how much he may have exposed, the Rebel General gives indication that Navander wasn't alone in his treachery. Having recovered codings to Orupia and Tatooine, it was even suggested that Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani might have been the ones adding him.
Told that Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa had still not reported in from their mission to Tatooine, and fearing Navander may have alerted the Empire to their location; Stargazer along with his allies are ordered to head to the desert world to find the missing rebels.
===Answers under the Twin Suns===
Exiting hyperspace at Tatooine, Rhyley theorised that with him and Gunn on board, for them to just land on Tatooine they would no doubt get into conflict with possible bounty hunters, hopeful of taking a chance on the heads of himself and Exao. Deciding to first try his former employers, after being refused, Stargazer would eventually get granted protection by Talon Karrde.
After meeting with the enigmatic information broker, Rhyley and Risho would learn that no one has returned from Jabba's Palace following news of his death. Unable to provide any clues to Luke Skywalker or Leia Organa, the two Rebels recover swoop bikes before setting out under the twin suns towards Jabba's.
 
Arriving at the Palace, they were surprised to find the door open. Heading inside, they see nothing out of the ordinary as they make their way into Jabba's Throne Room. Realising they aren't alone a B'omarr Monk approaches. Claiming itself to be Bib Fortuna, it's overconfidence in it's ability allow it to give further hints to the whereabouts of Leia and Luke at the Pit of Carkoon. With other spider droids arriving, Rhyley and Risho have to fight their way out of the palace before sealing the doors closed behind them.
At the Sarlacc Pit, again they find no sign of Luke or Leia however do make out the remains of a huge structure, that Rhyley is able to identify as a sail barge. Wondering if Luke and Leia had failed in their task, Risho suggests they try to find the home of Skywalker and so the pair journey to Tosche Station via Anchorhead hoping to find someone that knew Luke when he lived on the planet.
Finding the owner of the station, Rhyley asks if he knew anything about the local Skywalker home. Not receiving any help, his words were over heard by Camie Loneozner, who was curious as to why someone would be looking for 'Worm'. Confronting Stargazer, the young man told her that he wasn't looking for trouble, that he was here searching for Luke as something terrible may have happened. Fearing that her old friend may be in danger, she leads Rhyley and Risho out to the old Lars Homestead.
At the moisture farm they find no sign of Skywalker at all, however near the home are tracks of a starfighter. Wondering who may have come to the farm given the place was deserted; Stargazer used Talon Karrde to find out what the ship was and where it may have gone. Though it took some time, Karrde was able to recover codings for the ship that had since travelled to Nar Shaddaa. Returning to his own ship, Stargazer along with Gunn and Rishowlmhroor leave Mos Eisley and re-entered orbit above the desert planet.
Contacting the Rebel Fleet at Fortua, they would learn how Luke was safe and that Leia Organa and Han Solo had finally returned. With the fleet about to engage an Imperial Force at Sullust, Madine tasks Rhyley with finding out more about this ship, wondering if it may be Romas Navander.
===Finding Friends at the Smuggler's Moon===
Arriving at the smuggler's moon, armed with the codes of the ship, Stargazer and Risho made light work of locating where the ship had headed. Sending the ship towards the Corellian District of Nar Shaddaa, they would learn that the ship eventually came to a stop at the Corellian Spire. Passing themselves of as a simple cargo transport, they landed in the Spire and Risho began to look about for the vessel in question.
Making certain the Rogue Star was secure; Rhyley would soon make his way after Risho. Heading towards the Spire Authority Office, suddenly they would be contacted by Kileo Dimoh and Kaje Reilloc. Deciding to regroup and wanting to know how Kileo and the others are, the young man and his Wookiee friend return to their ship and greet Kaje and Kileo. Learning of how Kaje, Sava and Weekat had found Kileo before freeing her, Stargazer sends the Wookiee and Kaje armed with the ship codes in search of the pilot.
Giving Kileo her space, Rhyley would ask if she needed anything before she would finally open up to him about the ordeal she had gone through. Learning about Sly Moore and Kiran Dimoh as well as Kileo's visions, Rhyley tried his best to rebuild her confidence, showing her that there was no way her brother was dead if she could still sense him. Doing his best to lighten her mood, the two would be thrust into action as Kaje alerted them to ready the ship so they could make a quick departure.
Fleeing Nar Shaddaa, they immediately make a break for Sullust and enter hyperspace. During the journey, Rhyley would inform all those on board regarding Romas Navander's defection and how Alliance Command are uncertain as to who may have aided him.
===Secrets and Truths===
Shortly before arriving at Sullust, Rhyley readied the ship to enter into a battle. Knowing the Rebel Fleet was going to attack an Imperial Armada at Sullust that would've already started by the time they would arrive, Stargazer knew that his ship had to be completely ready to deploy into direct ship to ship combat. Fortunately with his allies each ship system was fully prepared for such engagement as they exited hyperspace.
Surprisingly as they exited, they found no such battle. Sullust was as quiet as expected, thinking that perhaps they had arrived too late, Rhyley set the ship into a dive towards the barren world. As Kileo searched the comm. channels for any signs of the Rebel Fleet, Kaje operated as his co-pilot and began scans for friendly vessels. Soon a fleet matching that of the Rebel Fleet showed up on their scanners, however unsure as to why there was no sign of any battle, Rhyley wasn't completely certain to trust this 'Rebel Fleet'.
Delaying long enough to make absolutely certain, it was only after Kileo had managed to contact Taei Wynonyms, that Rhyley allowed the ship to land aboard the large Mon Calamari Cruiser. Informing Madine as to the details of the ship and pilot they had tracked to Nar Shaddaa, his fellow companions would go through their own debriefs before being told to wait for their psyche evaluations. With still no word as to their next orders, Rhyley is eventually reunited with everyone in his unit, including Cayla Dunestrider.
Shocked to see the female pregnant, Rhyley assumes that she had moved on since he had gone. Not wanting to be difficult, the young man would often try to remain out of her way until she would eventually confront him herself. Pleased to see him, Cayla would eventually tell Rhyley that the gift of life she carried in her womb was his. Overwhelmed by the news, Rhyley would almost fall flat footed as he was told that she was expecting triplets.
Unsure what to believe or feel, Rhyley fumbled through their converse lacking his usual confidence and unsure about himself or his relationships. When Kaje re-emerged furiously from his interview with the Doctor, Rhyley would be glad of the distraction. Confronting Reilloc, Rhyley would tell the man that if he wanted to leave, the young Corellian would not stand in his way. Hoping that Kaje would eventually see sense, Stargazer would try and keep a close eye on the angry pilot.
===Uncertain Future===
Troubled by the news that he is to be a father, Rhyley finds reasons to keep away from Cayla, often heading to his ship to work on the INTRADSINK or losing himself in the workshop as he begins re-building his father's EE-3 Carbine Rifle. It was one such occasion where he came back greasy and sweaty from working on his vessel that he would run into Cayla. Not sure how to deal with the pregnancy feeling the weight of expectation and still indecisive about his position in the Alliance, coupled with his nightmares regarding Bai'yle and Raedan, the two would enter quickly into an argument as Rhyley slowly began to lose his temper.
Withdrawing, it was only till he found Kileo still struggling with the ramifications of her Imperial imprisonment, that Rhyley found a way to slowly unload his own concerns and worries. Talking with Kileo enabled the two to express their hidden fears regarding both of their lives. Leaning on each other for support Kileo would eventually open up to the Corellian about her feelings for him in a heartfelt conversation where Rhyley would admit that he also loved her and was the only reason as to why he would openly avoid the Nubian. With Kileo still engaged to Sava, and Rhyley’s imminent fatherhood, the pair agreed to remain friends though spent the rest of the night talking.
With Kileo also highlighting her inability to use the force effectively, Rhyley expressed his concern regarding her learning this knowledge. Offering his own insight into the Force and the expectation that came with it, the distraction of spending time with Kileo, slowly allowed the young man to deal with the sudden changes that seemed to be riddled in his life since the Battle of Orupia.
Feeling his confidence come back, Rhyley would eventually search Cayla out. Knowing that in some way he needed to deal with the burden of life that was about to come into his lap, Stargazer did his best to allay his own worries and try and be the person Cayla needed at this present time. Beginning to give thought about telling his family the news about his expectant fatherhood, the couple would also talk about what they need to do about the new arrivals in their lives.
===Patience Lost===
Feeling more ease with himself following returning to the fleet, joking, flirting and confident again, Rhyley would continue to spend time with Kileo and Cayla in-between getting himself dirty whilst working on his ship and weapon, however as time progressed his patience slowly began to wear thin and he would often find himself getting angrier quicker than normal. With the news that everyone had finally undergone their evaluations Rhyley would run into Sava and Kaje, as the three men began to converse, Kileo and Erisey looking clearly distraught and both carrying weapons would cause him to worry.
Learning from Kaje that the Raedan that had been brought back from Orupia was not actually Raedan, Rhyley's patience with Command finally snapped. Furious at Erisey for not telling him first, Rhyley did his best to not show his anger at the woman he thought of as his sister. Telling both Sava and Kaje to put their blasters on stun, Stargazer rushes to confront Erisey in order to find out who it was that told her. Learning that it was General Madine, Rhyley along with Sava and Kaje decided to take it into their own hands to find out what was going on.
Making their way up to the Command Deck, thanks to the unit's obvious reputation and respect held by those that had served with them among Fleet Personnel the trio of men find it far easier than expected to come face to face with Crix Madine. With their blasters aimed at two of Madine's guards, the elder Corellian tells his guards to leave, just as Erisey, Kileo and Weekat arrive in hopes of stopping the men.
With Madine giving details as to why command had treated them a certain way, he gives a possible indication of what the future may hold for the unit. Trying to calm their fears from erupting into a full-scale mutiny, the elder man was at pains to add that as far as he and many of those that served with him were concerned, the commando unit and those that were part of her were crucial to the Alliance. Finally detailing that no one present would be signed off, the group leave a little embarrassed but glad that they had finally faced their fears.
Clearly needing some down time, the group are granted three hours to visit the surface of Sullust. Having not been there since the tragedy that befell the Enviro-Dome, they are shocked to find themselves treated as heroes as they are taken to the Rogue Stars Cantina. Able to finally let loose a little, with drink and spice around them the group let forget what has happened the past few days and just focus on enjoying themselves before finally returning to the fleet.
With most of their friends retired for the evening, Rhyley and Kileo would stay up, talking, joking and flirting before sharing an illicit kiss in what would be the start of a surreptitious romance.
===Best Laid Plans===
With High Command beginning to issue their orders to senior personnel as the Alliance gets ready for one of the biggest missions in it's history, Rhyley soon learns of some changes to his unit. The first would be that Ket Celoon, the engineer that had worked with the group since the mission to Nazrike, would be heading to frigate Hope for a new assignment under the watchful gaze of revered Admiral, Hiram Drayson. Though not long after, Kileo would come to him with news of change to her military career.
Informing him that General Airen Cracken had asked her to return to Arbra for the time being, before allowing Major Taei Wynonyms to offer her a place with either Special Forces or Special Operations, the woman requested to be placed in Rhyley's commando unit. Resistant at first having not ever wanted her to be this close to the fighting that he and his allies are tasked with, it is only when she tells him that if he refuses that she would sign on with Judder Page's commandos instead that Rhyley finally grants her transfer. 
Recoiling somewhat, having felt forced even blackmailed into the decision, Rhyley then learns that General Han Solo has requested he along with Exao Gunn join him for an informal briefing regarding an operation he has volunteered to lead. Giving indication into what is going on, both Rhyley and Exao volunteer to join Solo, where they eventually learn about the Death Star orbiting Endor.
Realising just how important this mission truly is, Rhyley along with Gunn begin planning who to invite on this mission, having been instructed that no one was to be ordered into this operation. Deciding not to ask Cayla Dunestrider or Sevax, Rhyley makes preparations for them to be placed elsewhere as he secretly informs the others that there is a secret mission he is signed on for.
As each of those he asks volunteers for the mission, Stargazer would also learn that Erisey had been placed with his unit for the foreseeable future. Unable to talk her out of staying with the unit, the group begin preparing for the mission to Endor. With the mission to Endor planned to begin the next morning leaving the commandos with an uncertain future, the group separate and withdraw for the evening.
Returning to the mess hall, Kileo would inform Rhyley that she wished she could find somewhere alone on the ship with which to reflect. Feeling sorry for her, Rhyley immediately offered her the opportunity to stay on the Rogue Star, before being told that she wouldn’t mind his company.
Though he wrestled with the decision, Rhyley would eventually join Kileo on the ship and the pair would spend the night on board the Rogue Star until morning.
==Hero's Trial (7 ABY - 8 ABY)==
===The Death of a Tyrant===
====Forest Moon====
Waking the next morning and preparing for his impending mission, Rhyley learns that parts of his gear and others are missing. Fortunately having ordered supply for those that are not part of his unit for this next operation, he and the group have enough supplies to go around. As they begin to congregate in the supply room, each tries to lift the spirits of those around them, till they are eventually called into a briefing with High Command. As they enter the huge briefing room, they rub shoulders with the likes of Princess Leia Organa, Wedge Antilles, Keyan Farlander and the Wookiee Chewbacca as they listen to the insight given by Mon Mothma, Admiral Ackbar and General Crix Madine.
Whilst they learn that the Emperor himself is personally overseeing the construction of the mighty Death Star, Jacoreb decides to stow away hidden on the Lambda Shuttle Tydirium. With Han Solo finally decided his command crew, the group leave the briefing and collect their packs before boarding the Shuttle to Endor.
The few hours journey to Endor seems longer than normal as nerves begin to fray. Exiting hyperspace, they all see the Death Star for themselves, accompanied by the flagship of Darth Vader, the domineering presence certainly beginning to settle in. Using stolen codes Solo eventually gets the shuttle onto the planet. With SGC now codenamed Alpha Team, the unit join Solo and his command crew on their expedition through the dense jungle forest. Stumbling onto a scout patrol, Solo and the Wookiee Chewbacca try to deal with the situation quietly, however the Imperials soon learn what is going on and try to make a break away.
Chased by Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker, the two Rebels disappear from sight as Solo, Chewie and Alpha Team deal with the remaining scouts. Setting an ambush at the position and awaiting the return of Luke and Leia, the group are surprised when only Skywalker returns. Realising that Leia is now missing, Solo and his companions leave Alpha Team to head towards the Shield Generator as they go off in search of the Princess.
Making their way through the dense overgrown environment, Alpha Team press on, soon realising that something is following them. Setting a trap for whatever it is the group soon catch a dishevelled Bothan, Jacoreb. Learning that he had overheard their plans and wanted to aid them, Stargazer reluctantly allows him to travel with the unit as they begin setting camp.
Taking the first watch, Rhyley, Weekat, Erisey, Risho and Kileo stand guard on the perimeter of the camp. As the hours pass and they head into the darkness of the night, Kileo notices something on her scanners that seems to be coming in their direction. Taking with him Erisey, Weekat and Rishowlmhroor, Rhyley leaves Kileo to wake the camp as they go set an ambush for the approaching 'thing'. As it nears, they realise the presence is an AT-ST Walker. With quick thinking he orders Erisey to jam it's communications. With the Walker now unable to inform it's commanders that something is wrong, Weekat quickly takes out the walker's searchlights, before Risho fires as smoke canister into the vehicle.
Seeing the pilot bail from the stricken Walker, Sava and Weekat set the AT-ST to explode when the Imperials send someone to investigate the machine, before the group gather again and set off towards the Shield Generator.
====New Allies====
Stumbling across a scout patrol, Kaje, Sava and Rishowlmhroor quickly take out the troopers and hide their bodies as Kileo's scanner slowly becomes useless. Unable to sense what is wrong with the device, the Wookiee Rishowlmhroor picks up the sent of a fire. Deciding to investigate, he along with Kaje rushes on to see a small lake village engulfed in flames.
As their companions arrive, they all see the carnage of small furry bodies lying dead covered in ash and blood. As Sava, Rhyley and Kaje heading forward to investigate, the tell-tale signs of AT-AT Walker indentations on the ground give away just what has happened to the small village. As the others soon follow, a small furry creature jumps out from the bush and rushes to Rishowlmhroor. If by surprise or shock the giant Wookiee roars angrily, scaring the creature into the arms of Kileo. Trying to calm the little guy down, after offering a ration bar, the small alien drags the petite Nubian female off in the direction of the Shield Generator.
With the group heading that way, the small critter eventually leads them to an Imperial refill and checkpoint station. Heading on to investigate, Rhyley along with Sava and Kaje are able to see just how well defended this base is, with AT-STs and AT-AT Walkers visible and a huge array of Stormtroopers. As they watch from afar, keeping out of direct sight, the three soon see Luke Skywalker on the scene. Seeing him surrender to the Imperial Forces, the men are at a loss to explain what is going on as Skywalker is placed upon an AT-AT Walker.
Deciding to track the Walker, the group moves quickly through the dense jungle before seeing the AT-AT slowly come alongside a giant structure. As they continue to observe, the group are able to see a Lambda Shuttle land on the landing pad of the structure, as Darth Vader appears. Hiding as well as they could, each observes Luke being handed over to the Imperial Sith Lord before he is led onboard the shuttle and heading back towards the Death Star.
Solo contacts Alpha team to find out their position, with the group already at the rendezvous, Solo, Organa, Chewbacca, the Droids and now accompanied by the Ewoks eventually regroup with Alpha Team. Surveying the Shield Generator, the group surmises how best to attack it when an Ewok informs them of a back door. Deciding to investigate, the group find a small secret bunker at the other side of the ridge. Seeing it poorly guarded, a minuscule Ewok makes a daring play for the speederbikes of the scout troopers, forcing three of the troopers to give chase and leave only one guard remaining.
With Alpha Team setting an ambush for the guard, Solo sets the bait and soon the Rebel Force has control of the back door. With Erisey Casoona-Kitani slicing her way into the bunker, Solo, Organa, Chewie, Stargazer, Stary, Rishowlmhroor and Erisey head inside to lay the charges as the others remain on guard at the entrance. No sooner have they headed in, have an Imperial Force shown up, accompanied with AT-STs and a lethal AT-AT, the Empire springs its trap for the Rebel Heroes as Sava Stary is killed in the struggle.
====Turning the Tide====
Taken back outside and now under armed guard, the members of the unit are at a loss for what has happened as a black armoured figure sounding like Raedan Kitani plays on their insecurities, when the Ewoks decide to launch their own attack. Taking the Imperials by surprise, the chaos does enough to cause confusion to allow the Rebels to regroup.
Defending their position inside the bunker entrance, the continued fire upon the black guard forces him to flee, allowing Solo to finally call for Artoo-Detoo to open the door to the bunker. Deciding to try and capture 'Raedan', Rhyley and Erisey give chase as Kileo and Weekat is tasked with stopping the AT-AT as Rishowlmhroor heads towards the droids in order to protect their passage to Solo whilst Exao and Kaje accompany Chewie and the ewoks in the fight against the Empire. Arriving at the side of the droids, the tall Wookiee fires his way past Imperial troopers as Kileo takes over an abandoned AT-ST.
Heading for the monstrous AT-AT, the young female fires upon a tree, splitting the bark in the hope of it falling onto the Walker, it doesn't. Meanwhile the resourceful Jacoreb using a power pack from a speedrbike lays a trap of his own as an explosion causes the AT-AT to lose it's balance. Re-aiming at the legs of the giant Walker, Kileo fires upon the vehicle, crippling the AT-AT and sending it forward onto it's front. Weekat meanwhile having taken an abandoned speederbike, sets herself off in chase. Seeing what the others had done, she places her bike on a collision course with the Walker before leaping free. The bike crashes into the AT-AT and erupts in a fireball that soon causes the giant Walker to explode.
Chasing deeper into the forest and cut off from the others, Rhyley and Erisey stand back to back as Raedan toys with them in the trees. His seemingly cat-like abilities to leap from branch to branch causing him to be difficult to locate before he suddenly charges at the pair. Leaping out of the way, Rhyley puts his lightsaber back to his belt as he orders Erisey to remain down. When Raedan makes his next attack, Rhyley leaps up to grab hold of him, in the hopes of slowing the cyborg down, only to be dragged along and used as a toy as Raedan slams his brother into the trees around them.
Beating Stargazer to an inch of his life, it is only when Rhyley reaches for his lightsaber and severs one of Raedan's arms that Rhyley is finally thrown free. Rolling alongside Erisey who has had no luck with activating Raedan's over-ride coding, Rhyley stands wearily and tries to protect the young woman. As the Death Star destroys a Rebel Cruiser, the flames of the explosion lights up the floor as Raedan now utilising his light whip charges again at the pair.
Backing off Rhyley tries to keep up with Raedan, who's brute strength begins to over power the young Force sensitive. Eventually losing his guard, Raedan severs Rhyley's right arm, who falls to his knees as Raedan lifts to deliver the killer blow. Erisey with no other choice lifts her blaster and fires at the small odd-looking attachment on back of the neck of Raedan Kitani, causing the cyborg to freeze in his strike. About to turn, he is only finally knocked over as Jacoreb lashes out at Raedan's throat, using a scalpel as the Wookiee Rishowlmhroor uses his giant blade to carve Raedan's legs off.
The two brothers lay on their backs staring at the Death Star as Erisey rushes to protect the fallen body of the cyborg, believing that it is Raedan Kitani. Forcing Rishowlmhroor to back away, Jacoreb gets quickly to hand as he begins saving what is left of Rhyley's arm as the young man loses consciousness. Meanwhile a Stormtrooper attacks the droids. Stopping the astromech from opening the doors to the bunker, Solo decides to try and hot-wire the entrance. As a Stormtrooper shoots Leia, they cunningly quickly get the upper hand before an AT-ST arrives.
Thinking not of her own body, but of stopping the AT-ST, Weekat Matiren gives chase and leaps onto the hind leg of the ST Walker. Clambering up as the AT-ST looks at the entrance of the bunker seemingly about to fire, she reaches the top as the hutch opens up and a Chewbaccca pops out. Surprised by what she has seen, Han Solo comes up with an idea. Using Matiren to tell the bunker command that the Rebels are fleeing into the woods and they need assistance, Weekat comms into the command officer.
With the Ewoks and Rebels setting their trap at the entrance to the bunker, a unit of Imperials rush out and fall into the ambush. With the bunker now open Solo and Organa quickly head in along with Matiren and the Wookiee Rishowlmhroor to lay the charges. Unable to find any sign of Specialist Stary, once Solo has placed the detonators, he pulls Matiren away from her search as they rush to safety before the bunker explodes, causing a chain reaction that spreads through the entire shield generator as the deflector shield of the Death Star finally falls.
Hearing that the Fleet has engaged the Death Star, the Rebel Heroes make their way back to the Tydirium, before finally seeing the huge super weapon explode high above.
====Choices====
Regrouped at the site of the Shuttle landing, uniting with Delta Team, they are soon joined by the Rogue Star piloted by Major Taei Wynonyms and with Omega Team. Seeing a chance to use the chaos to further confuse the Imperial Forces, Solo, Wynonyms with Delta and Omega Team use the shuttle and rejoin the battle above, leaving Stargazer and his companions to recover on-board the Corellian freighter.
Once the surgery to his arm is completed, Rhyley confronts Raedan to find out if it really is his brother. Wicked and almost cruel in order to get a response from him, Rhyley is finally relieved when Raedan shows enough humanity to appease Stargazer. With further details coming from the fleet that the Empire's forces are in chaos, Rhyley and his friends are ordered to relocate the Rogue Star to a specific site nearer the Ewok Tree Village.
As Rebel Forces slowly descend on the planet and news begins to spread of just what has been achieved, it is a bittersweet moment for the Rebels. Now with a cyborg attachment grafted to his arm, Rhyley allows Weekat to lead an excavation mission to the shield generator in order to find any remains of Sava Stary. Unable to join them on the search, Rhyley remains at camp and thinks over his future in the Rebellion confiding his insecurities with Kaje Reilloc and Kileo Dimoh.
It would not be long however until the search party returns, and with serious injuries. Having pushed beyond what their limits were Weekat had undergone sever burns, so much so that she had lost part of her arm in the process. Undergoing extensive surgery in order to save her life Rhyley is called in for a briefing with General Crix Madine and his father.
Handed new orders to establish a task force and to free Corellia and Naboo from Imperial rule, Rhyley asks for time to make his decision in accepting the new position. Talking with his brother and father at lengths as to whether or not he can remain with the Rebellion, it is only after a frank conversation with Kileo that he decides to think more about remaining with the Alliance. Calling his companions together all shocked that they have been disbanded and unsure as to what the future holds for them, Rhyley shows them his orders and asks them to decide what it is they want to do. With everyone responding that they'll keep going, Rhyley quietly agrees to do as they wish.
Called to a ceremony in their honour, those that had fought in the Battle of Endor were awarded various honours and promotions, Rhyley himself awarded the Medal of Bravery and promoted to the rank of Commander. Unable to truly enjoy the proceedings of the ceremony or that of the after party, he along with Kaje, Jacoreb and Kileo seizing a pair of Incom X-Wings and leave, returning to the Rogue Star and then readying to leave for Talus.
===Back to the Beginning===
====Wants of the Heart====
Life on Talus however would be difficult. Although he continues his affair with Kileo, Rhyley never feels at ease on the planet given his unfortunate time previously spent on the twin world of Tralus, Stargazer finds it difficult to settle. Spending time sleeping on the couch at Cayla's cottage, or living on the Rogue Star, Rhyley soon becomes quickly irritable and struggles to carry on as usual.
Argumentative and frustrated, Rhyley would find himself getting into quarrels with locals in the nearby diner. His mood isn't aided by a sudden inability to do anything with Rebel supplies still weeks from being delivered and though he tries to aid Kaje with RTC, he finds himself kicking his heels in frustration. Though the arrival of Sarparious Serpentus proves to be a little distraction.
Still wanting to leave for the excitement of adventure in the unknown regions and forgetting about the war that he has been part of for over two years, news that Raedan Kitani would leave to join his father as part of Taei Wynonyms' Grey Fleet and Exao Gunn asking to leave the Rebellion altogether soils his usually buoyant mood even further. Anger and resentment soon find a way into his emotions, and when he informs Cayla that he is to tell his family of her expectant birth of their children, her reluctance to join him further fuels this aggression and the two soon embroil in an argument on the street in front of their friends including Kileo.
Deciding enough is enough, Rhyley leaves Kystes and heads for the place that might do well enough to quell his troubled spirit. Corellia.
====Reckless Abandon====
Initialising the INTRADSINK on his ship as he arrives at Corellia, his arrival at the planet of his birth is a welcome sight as he weaves through the traffic lanes and looks for a quieter entry point to the Core World. It is whilst he is travelling above the planet that he notices a large Imperial Fleet in orbit. Deciding to take a closer look, he begins to take details of one of the largest gatherings of Imperial Fleets he has ever seen.
Unfortunately for Stargazer however, his ship's IRS system fails. Realising he is transmitting as the Rogue Star, the Imperial Fleet immediately takes an interest in the wanted Rebel. Sending waves of TIE Fighters to intercept the Corellian Freighter, Rhyley breaks for the planet's surface, ducking and diving amongst the huge lanes of traffic in an effort to escape the imperial starfighters. On his descent however, his ship is crippled by severe blaster fire, rupturing crucial components that would allow hyperspace travel, and only with the timely aid of an Incom T-65 X-Wing Starfighter, does he finally make it safely to the planet. 
Landing alongside the X-Wing at his family's safe-house, Stargazer is united with childhood friend Corran Horn who was the pilot of the assisting X-Wing. Glad to see the other is well and alive, their reunion's happiness is short-lived as Corran informs Rhyley that his father was murdered. Feeling the loss of Hal Horn, Rhyley reveals his true reasons for travelling to the planet, and asks for Corran's help.
Joined by their friends Jonset and Tekk Larr, the four men head up to the Bela Vistal Rockies, finding a quiet spot within the lush mountains and bury the remains of their long time friend and brother, Bai'yle Norssohn.
Returning to the safe-house the four men spend some time together reminiscing about their past adventures, the first time all four men have been in the same room since the Rhyley and Bai'yle fled Corellia in 0 BBY. Their moment however is shattered when the HoloNet reveals that wanted terrorists have been seen in Coronet. Taking a closer look, Rhyley learns that his friends Kaje, Erisey, Rishowlmhroor, Kileo, Weekat along with Jacoreb have been found by Imperial agents in the capital city, and are currently on the run.
Knowing it would only make matters worse if he was to head to Coronet to find them, Rhyley asks Tekk and Jonset to leave before he tentatively reaches out for Kileo in the force. Surprised that the female is able to sense him so readily, he guides her towards him who in turn leads the rest of the Rebels to Rhyley's hidden location. With Corran revealing that the Empire is tracking the group however, Rhyley reluctantly abandons the last safe place his family had on Corellia, triggering the buildings self-destruct and leaving a trap for any Imperial investigators.
====Rise of the Dead====
Still unable to perform the repairs necessary to allow the Rogue Star to leave the planet, Rhyley flies the ship into the mountains near Bela Vistal. Finding a clearing to land his vessel and knowing the Empire has managed to trigger the self-destruct of the safe house, Stargazer sends Erisey, Kaje and Rishowlmhroor on to Weebi Scrapyard in the hope of finding the systems that would repair his beleaguered vessel. Unfortunately however, no sooner had his companions left, and the Corellian begun repairing the ship does Emfive inform him that Imperial scout ships are heading to their destination. Abandoning his beloved ship, Rhyley sends Kileo on with Weekat and Jacoreb to intercept Kaje as he remains behind to watch the scouting party.
Taking check of the Imperials as they arrive, their inability to break into his vessel sand the fact that they have shuttles and TIE Bombers in attendance gives him a small hope of being able to rescue his ship and recover parts to repair her. Making his way to Bela Vistal, after seeing his family's former apartment, Rhyley steals a nearby swoop-speeder and heads towards Vreni Island to rendezvous with his friends. Reaching the shores of the golden coast, the young man locates a small boat and rows to the small isle.
Assuming the island would be abandoned since the Empire bombarded the location over two years prior, Rhyley was pleased to see his early expectations matched. However the further he travelled on the small island would things take a sudden turn for the worse. Attacked by slice-hounds that appeared rabid, he would then come under attack by locals that seemed to display the same characteristics as the hounds. Their eyes a misty white, skin pale and parts of the flesh raw, Rhyley would try to keep his distance until they attacked him, one such person who he was certain was a Zabrak, actually biting on his cybernetic arm. Using his lightsaber to sever their limbs however seemed to not stop them and thus the young Corellian pilot fled further into the small town.
Barricading himself inside the local cantina formerly known as The Winchester he is soon joined by his companions, with Kileo still suffering from her encounter with Human League extremists. The young Corellian tells them of how he was attacked by a group of mindless locals and was 'bitten'. Shocked at the story, the group anxiously make the best of their circumstances as they try to give medical aid to Kileo and keep their location secure.
Unfortunately the beast that was known as Cassius Dekk had heard their blaster fire as the group arrived. Surrounded by dozens of mindless zombies, the hunters of the flesh soon descend upon the barricaded cantina. Forcing their way in the sheer velocity of their attack is unable to be pushed back by those that dwell inside it. With Rhyley literally thrown across the cantina by the huge beast that leads the mindless drones, the group fall back to the small back room in the rear of the cantina, trying desperately to seal the door. With the door locked by Erisey, it soon comes to light that the beast in the attack cut Rhyley; his brow bleeding badly, the Bothan administers quick medical aid, and closes the wound by using a flame torch.
Now with no seemingly obvious way to escape, the group look for any possible ways out of the back room. Stumbling on a trap door, it takes over an hour for Kileo to unlock the secrets of the chairs using her force abilities to break the secret. With the door now open, Kaje, Erisey and Jacoreb head into the dark tunnel as Weekat unknowingly destroys the lock by moving one of the chairs and resealing the door. With the trap door now closed, those within the back room try desperately to reopen the trap door, before tripping the security and inadvertently opening the door that holds the zombies out. With the barricade slowing their assault of the back room, Rhyley tries to buy as much time he can offer by pushing against the barricade, as the Wookiee Rishowlmhroor kills the few zombies that manage to enter the room.
Meanwhile Kaje, Erisey and Jacoreb head through the dark tunnel. Hearing a scratching noise they slow their exit however unable to see any sign of anything that may have made the noise, they slowly tread on. Unbeknown to them, high above using the interior ceiling as the perfect camouflage, mutated blood leeches fall onto Jacoreb, before the group realises they are surrounded by dozens of the blood sucking parasites. Retreating towards the sealed trap door, the small worm like creatures attack the group who eventually use fire to kill the insidious creatures.
Rhyley and Rishowmlhroor doing their best to buy time for Kileo to reopen the trap door, using Stargazer's lightsaber she finally cuts through the metal exit. With her and Risho heading into the tunnel, Rhyley flees from the door, as Weekat does her best to seal the entrance to the tunnel with a chair. The group now reunited and the leeches seemingly dead or hidden, the Rebels make their way through the tunnel before coming to a sturdy wall. As they try to figure out how to pass the wall, the growls of a monster from the shadows, forces Rhyley and Jacoreb to fire into the darkness. Joined by Rishowlmhroor as Kileo unlocks a mechanism inside the wall, the beast that was once Cassius Dekk, charges at the group. With Risho delivering an explosive quarrel to the middle of the deranged sentient, the beast falls back, as if stopped before rising once again and retaking to charging at the Rebels. Unloading the arsenal of their fire power at the beast, they are unable to stop the creature as he swipes Rhyley away and bites down on Jacoreb's shoulder as the small Bothan fires a shot into it's face causing it to daze.
Finally Kaje, Kileo and Erisey force open the door, allowing just enough of a gap for the group to escape, as Rhyley pulls Jacoreb through the opening to exit into the grand theatre. Risho fires the last of his explosive quarrels at the creature causing it to drop, before the rest of the group exit and force the wall to close behind them. Jacoreb's condition was steadily deteriorating as the friends regrouped. Leading off to find his small boat, Rhyley and Erisey get their bearings on the island before the band of Rebels make their way over to the shore of the isle. With the boat still moored at the beach, Rhyley sends Rishowlmhroor with Jacoreb and Weekat on towards Ashla, a small port town between Coronet and Tyrena.
Time passes before Rishowlmhroor returns with the boat. This time sending Erisey and Kileo on, Stargazer and Kaje wait alone on the beach as shrieks and screams can be heard. Suddenly dozens of zombies begin to fill the beach as Rhyley and Reilloc fall back into the water taking careful aim to pop as many of the heads of the oncoming zombies. Watching as the rabid sentient species suddenly stop their attack, a huge mass of crawling flesh drags itself towards the two Rebels. Doing their beast to concentrate their fire power on the monstrous sight, when they think they've killed it, the huge mass of flesh uses it's giant tentacles to swoop several zombies into it's mouth, devouring them as if simple snacks and seemingly repairing itself.
Embroiled in a deathly struggle to survive their encounter, finally Rishowlmhroor returns with the boat, aiding as best he can with cover fire as Rhyley and Kaje swim for their lives. Entering the boat, the three men watch as they head off seeing the beast rejoined with the animal that bit Jacoreb on the hill of Vreni Island. Returning to the quiet port town of Ashla, the group head into a medical clinic allowing Jacoreb to get the medical aid he desperately needs.
====The Best of the Best====
Their spirits waning, Rhyley soon realises that he along with Kaje are beginning to show the same characteristics as the Bothan Jacoreb. Knowing that they are infected, he begins to assume the worse and so sets out to at least get his friends off planet before his 'death'. As Jacoreb slowly becomes more rabid, trying to attack the others, Stargazer places him in holding as he tries to curtail Erisey's desires to set off on her own. With Kaje returning with speeders, Rhyley along with Reilloc and joined by Erisey and Kileo head off towards the Rogue Star in an effort to free their only way of escape.
Returning to the site where the Rogue Star was being held and inspected by an overwhelming Imperial presence, Stargazer begins to set into play a plan to attack the Imperial group. Knowing they can take the Empire by surprise, without Emfive on-board the Star, their efforts to utilise the Corellian Freighter would be undermined. Telling Kileo to contact the ship and to manage to talk Kaytoo into thinking that she was working on Emfive's directives, Rhyley and Kaje head to the far side of the location and wait Kileo's success. Able to achieve what was desired of Kaytoo, Rhyley tells her to set the ventral turret on a test fire.
The lower cannon opened fire on the unexpected Imperial gathering, destroying numerous TIE Fighters and killing most personnel in attendance. The attack catching the Imperials completely by surprise allows Rhyley and Kaje to then set their ambush and attack the Imperials that remained. Able to then spring a further trap with Kileo and Erisey joining the ambush from the opposite direction, it wasn't long before the elite Imperial commandos and officers were dead.
With the ship now in their hands, Stargazer and Kaje recover key components from the Imperial shuttle, and quickly set about repairing the Rogue Star. With the vessel now repaired, they relocate to Ashla, gather the rest of their group and using stolen Imperial codes, trick the Imperial Fleet into thinking that they are the Imperial commandos. Clear to make a run for it, the ship enters hyperspace and heads for the Rebel Fleet at Endor.
With their state deteriorating, and Jacoreb again trying to attack one of the women, Rhyley tells Kileo to lock the cockpit off with her, Erisey, Weekat and Rishowlmhroor inside as he, Kaje and the Bothan languish outside as the worsening effects of the virus take hold on their bodies. Falling unconscious, Rhyley wakes hours later inside a Rebel Medical Frigate, his condition rapidly improving as he is informed that he has been cured.
====Mistakes of the Heart====
Returning to Talus, his decision to not tell Cayla that he had returned would later come back to haunt him. Having been quiet himself because of the damning effect the virus had taken on his body, and trying to deal with the knowledge that had befallen Vreni Island, Rhyley kept his distance from most including Cayla, only causing the woman to immediately argue with the young Corellian male when she finally locates him, going so far to insult Stargazer. Feeling hurt and angry, Rhyley argues back and the two again are unable to see eye to eye.
Feeling broken, Rhyley spends more time with Kaje, the pair frank in their converse about their lives and mistakes.
===Prophecy Unveiled===
====Mark of the Sith====
Having known Kileo had a strange marking on her and not knowing the reason why eventually led the man to enquire tentatively about the peculiar tattoo. However when informing Dimoh about it, he was surprised that apparently she knew nothing about it. At first naturally Kileo was anxious and frightened as to how the mark had formed on her back, though her time with Rhyley slowly allowed the young Nabooian to come to terms with the new addition to her body.
Realising that whilst with Sly Moore, the Dark Side female spent an unusual amount of time inspecting her lower back in particular, Kileo soon came to the conclusion that it was Moore that led to the mark forming. Knowing that this type of thing was far beyond his knowledge of the force, Rhyley gave thought as to who to turn to, giving insight into his time spent on Nar Shaddaa with Vima-da-Boda, Stargazer asked Kileo if the two could relocate the former Jedi Master, deciding against asking Cayla Dunestrider or Aniwevei Gunn.
Heading to Nar Shaddaa however would prove troublesome for Stargazer and Dimoh, and so Rhyley would contact Shug Ninx in the hope the associate of his would aid him in landing on the Smugglers Moon. Unfortunately for Rhyley though, Shug Ninx was still furious as to what Stargazer's allies, Aniwevei and Exao Gunn had done to his business and refused to aid unless the young Corellian either gave Ninx his ship, Rogue Star or handed over the Gunn couple. Realising he could neither, he along with Kileo Dimoh head to Tatooine, in order to see Information Broker Talon Karrde.
Meeting with Karrde the pair would hear that the Information Broker already knew of Stargazer's communication with Ninx. Cutting to the chase, Karrde offered Rhyley and Kileo a deal, head to the Smugglers Moon and meet with a contact of his, before travelling to another location and taking care of Usaej T'lare and Karrde would supply a way for the young pair to travel to Nar Shaddaa without any opposition. With little choice than to accept the surprising offer, Rhyley and Kileo were given the coordinates of a ship that would guarantee them safe passage to Nar Shaddaa hidden out in the Dune Sea.
Travelling to Wayfar, the pair would head to the coordinates that Karrde had given them and come face to face with Slave I, the personal ship of bounty hunter Boba Fett. Able to break in, the two would adopt the persona of Fett and an associate of his, Sintas Vel.
====Bounty Hunter====
Disguised as Fett and Vel, the lovers inside the KSE Firespray ship would arrive at Nar Shaddaa with no opposition, the flight to the surface completely uninterrupted. Once on the Smugglers Moon, the pair would quickly head towards the location of Vima-da-Boda's hut however along the way are stopped by a droid believing the two masquerading as Fett and Vel are actually the feared bounty hunters. 
Offered with the opportunity of protecting the droid and perhaps later kill the Rebel, Kyle Katarn, the two decline, and watch the droid leave. Knowing they have to somehow warn Katarn or Jan Ors, Rhyley and Kileo tracked the droid to the cantina Rimmer's Rest in time to see Kyle incapacitate the droid's mercenaries and giving chase after 8t88. As Katarn makes his way and more of the droid’s men giving chase after the Rebel hero, Dimoh eventually manages to contact Jan Ors and tell her what was going on. With the knowledge that Jan would go after Katarn herself, and the fact that Kyle was easily dealing with the droid's men, Stargazer and Kileo leave the cantina and head back on their way towards Vima's hut.
Once at Vima's hut, there was no sign of the old Jedi Master, though it did appear someone was staying there. Deciding to try again in a few hours, as they exited the small abode a woman attacked Kileo. It was only once Rhyley intervened that the pair would come to the sudden realisation that the frail figure attacking them was Vima-da-Boda. With the woman seemingly more paranoid and suffering from delusions and schizophrenia, Rhyley would watch in shock at how the female would constantly berate him and refer to Kileo as 'the Sith Woman'.
Speaking in riddles and rhymes, Vima would ask Rhyley to leave Kileo with her alone. Given no alternative, Rhyley leaves the hut and collects wood and a few supplies for the woman before finally returning to the hut and waiting outside. Eventually Kileo would emerge from the hut seemingly appearing shocked but would not tell Stargazer everything that the former Jedi Master had told her. Bidding the old woman farewell and told to hide the abomination of his flesh (his cybernetic limb), Rhyley and Kileo head back towards the ship, Slave I.
Along the way however they are attacked by an armoured figure adorned in the same armour as Rhyley. Believing it to be Boba Fett (although it was actually Ailyn Vel in disguise), the two quickly retreat into the sewers of Nar Shaddaa, removing the armour and heading towards the Corellian Spire. Once there, the two acquire new clothing and drop their masquerade entirely before locating Mirax Terrik. Initially the female is severely hostile towards Stargazer thanks to her dealings with Bai'yle Norssohn however when she learns that Nicey is dead, she stops her aggression towards Stargazer.
Led by Mirax to the location of T'lare, the two sneak in and cause the building to explode by overpowering the power generators, killing Usaej T'lare in the process and completing their contract with Karrde. They would leave Nar Shaddaa with Terrik, aboard her ship and be dropped off at Chanmea.
===Bloodlines===
====Heirs of the Future====
No sooner had he arrived on Talus would Cayla go into labour. Rushing immediately to the medical centre she was located within, the young man stands at her side as the dutiful father, trying to do whatever was required of him during the delivery of the three children. Though he feels out of sorts and his feelings for the female next to him confused, he remains at the bedside of Dunestrider through the early stages of the birth, with Micah being born first. 
Unfortunately however the birth of the three triplets soon runs into complications as Cayla struggles to deliver the three children. Offering as much support as he could manage, it is when the second child Allya is born that Rhyley is asked to leave the medical centre so that those delivering the children, Weekat Matiren and Jacoreb Illstrike, would have more room to operate. Leaving the centre, confused as to whether Cayla or the third child would survive the birth, Rhyley drifts to the cantina where Kaje and Kileo are drinking. Clearly of no use as to any sort of conversation, he soon receives a comm. informing him that the third child, Bai has been delivered safe and sound and that the mother of his children is also well.
The days after the birth of the Stargazer triplets, Rhyley spends as much time visiting Cayla and the children as possible. His family would soon descend on Kystes itself, and for a moment he felt like things were almost the way they used to be back on Corellia as he grew up, however in time this feeling would give way to a sense of restriction and smothering. It was also during this time that Jacoreb would seek Rhyley out and admit that he felt emotionally broken by the recent events. Asking for help him, Rhyley responds that he'll ask Cayla thinking their friendship would be a better place to start than Rhyley who had already lost his patience with the small Bothan.
Contacting Cayla, the female would also ask him for help in returning home from the medical centre, with the babies strong enough to leave for their new home. Helping her to return home and explaining Jacoreb's plight, again Cayla's rather forceful efforts in pushing Rhyley towards living with her puts the young man's back up. Feeling trapped and forced into a relationship in which he felt he didn't love the woman, Rhyley would give indication of his true feelings regarding Cayla. Though difficult he states that he never sees himself being with Cayla in the way she desires.
In the days that followed his family would eventually leave Talus and Erisey would finally come clean with him regarding the reasons she had hidden herself from everyone. Hoping to help Erisey as best he can, Rhyley also makes sure to visit the children as often as he can manage all the while continuing his secret romance with Kileo.
====Concealed Truths====
The construction of the Rebel facilities close to the township of Kystes well under-way, Rhyley would soon receive a communication from the Trandoshan warrior, Sarparious requesting that he and Kileo join him for a converse. Still not sure what to expect from his old friend given his unusual behaviour since he arrived in Kystes. Finding Kileo, the two travel over towards the Kystes Spine before finally finding Sarparious's makeshift camp.
Telling them of what had happened to him in Outmian Yakta following their departure from the sand planet over a year before, they are surprised to hear the fate of what has happened to their former home. Asked to help him return and recover some of his former belongings by those that he had once trusted, Rhyley and Kileo reluctantly agree. The day they are due to leave however, no sooner had they begun grouping to set out do they receive a broken communication from the Trandoshan, indicated he had gone on without them and had been attacked.
Arriving on Tatooine, the group make their way to Mos Entha, locating their friend on the outskirts of the city, suffering severely from his injuries. Though against his better judgement, Sarparious refuses to rest and forces them after the group that had attacked him. Locating a small temple in the desert, the group of allies fight their way in to finally quell the cultists and recover Sarparious's things. Leaving Tatooine, a few days would pass before Sarparious would again contact Rhyley and Kileo. Apprehensive again, it is Kileo that talks Stargazer into going along with her.
At the camp, Sarparious would show Kileo a book of his that he had collected from Tatooine and surprisingly being able to recount almost identical details as to Kileo's Dark Hellblast ability. Indicating to her that a family on Orupia may hold the key as to this ability as well as a being known as the Dark Zabrak, Kileo falls into shock the implications of what it may mean for her. Leading her away from Sarparious and the camp, her inability to process what was said leads Rhyley to decide that they must find out the truth behind this ability and Kileo's markings, and immediately heads for Naboo and Kileo's old home.
On Naboo, the pair land at Moenia. Acquiring speeders, Kileo would indicate she felt an odd feeling within the dank city. Heading off, they would soon pass Keren before arriving at the Starbrighter Estate. Breaking in, the two would search the home for any clues as to what may be happening to Kileo, locating an old family droid and an old computer. Able to activate the computer, Kileo finds a diary left by her grandmother Kell Starbrighter. Deciding to leave the home with the computer and the droid, Rhyley inadvertently touches the droid with his exposed skin and is flooded with hundreds of memories. Realising these are things Kileo should see, he tries his best to do it again only this time funnel the right memories towards the young female. The process deliberate draws on much of his strength until he passes out as Kileo realises they must head to Yavin.
Finally awakening, he and Kileo along with the droids Ellie and Emfive leave the estate before being ambushed by Hunters. Heading back in to the building and undercover, with no other way of leaving the location through the main entrance, Rhyley tries to set an ambush for those that wish to capture them. Over coming the hunters from the Nal Raka Criminal Empire, the two leave quickly for Keren.
Passing through the rebuilt Keren, Kileo asks to stop at the place her mother and father rented as their family apartment. Overcome with sudden emotions tied to the place, the two spend time at Keren, as the young female recounts tales about her family and her time spent on Naboo. Over come with his emotions and desires for the female, in front of her former home, Rhyley proposes to the woman who immediately accepts.
Eventually leaving, the couple use their droids to recover the Rogue Star from Moenia and leave Naboo.
====Tales of the Forgotten====
Having contacted Garm Bel Iblis and the Rebel Alliance for any further details regarding Kileo's grandmother, the enigmatic Corellian General Bel Iblis would ask that Stargazer refrain from contacting too many people with such information. Surprised Rhyley was also informed that an agent of Bel Iblis's would contact him in the days after. Eventually the contact would and give Stargazer directives to head for the small planet of Sernpidal.
Arriving at the planet, they would soon meet Irenez, a former associate of Rhyley's father, and a close friend of Garm Bel Iblis. Initially the female was quite frosty with Rhyley, having revealed that he didn't come alone as Kileo descends the ship's ramp. Able to convince her that allowing Rhyley to meet with Garm would still be in her best interests, the female reluctantly leads them to another planet where Rhyley sees for himself Bel Iblis's fleet and the Dreadnaughts.
Not expecting to see such firepower, on the surface at Peregrine's Nest Rhyley is further surprised just how much his uncle has managed to put together since he left the Rebellion. Finally finding his uncle, the two men embrace as only family would, as the older Corellian shows them around the base of operations. Called away Garm asks the pair to join him for dinner to which they agree. 
Leaving the nest a few hours later, they would join Garm at a hidden retreat. Having dinner with the old man, the three would converse candidly about Kell Starbrighter, the formation of the Rebellion, the Jedi and the Old Republic as well as Garm's reasons for leaving the Alliance and forming his own militia hidden in the outer rim. Though the old man shed a lot of light on Kell especially, Rhyley and Garm would eventually argue with regards to the Alliance and Bel Iblis's self imposed exile.
With their dinner finished, Rhyley bids his 'uncle' farewell and he along with Kileo head back to the Rogue Star via Irenez. Once on the ship, they find out that Kaje Reilloc had tried contacting them. Hearing that he had lost his vessel whilst helping Weekat visit Etti IV, they manage to track Kaje and Matiren to Formiria. Landing and locating the pair the friends head home though not before Kaje and Weekat reveal their early romantic relationship whilst Rhyley and Kileo continue to hide theirs.
====Into the Unknown====
Armed with more knowledge about Kileo's grandmother and that she had left explicit instructions for her grandchildren to find her resting place on Yavin IV, Kileo asks Rhyley if he would help her continue her search for answers. Accepting, the pair begin planning their trip, acquiring new equipment from Dearic's shops including a new pistol for the female, before Rhyley would leave Talus for a few days to return to Arbra and undergoing surgery on his cybernetic arm to be replaced with a synthetic limb. Returning to Kystes, Stargazer and Dimoh would then head for Yavin.
Reaching the planet, and finding no ships in the system Rhyley guides the ship to land on the edge of the jungle where the temple was hidden. Heading into the dense thick jungle with Ellie as their guide, Stargazer and Kileo would find the ruins of a former palace. Clearly lost due to the anomalies that were effecting their equipment and droid, Kileo suddenly feels compelled to head into the ruins. Inside the couple soon find an odd Golden Globe. With Kileo acting odd around the sphere, the sudden sighting of a figure would put Rhyley on edge, who with Kileo in hand would quickly leave the sphere and try to entomb it behind rock.
Deciding the only way to find the temple would be to stop whatever is causing the anomalies, they head towards the strange happenings, and locate another temple. Though not the temple they are looking for, it is once they are at the Blueleaf Temple that Ellie is able to finally coordinate itself and leas them to the Great Massassi Temple.
Though the aura from the temple is dark, Rhyley with Kileo leave Ellie outside the temple and ravel into the ancient building. Knowing the Alliance once used this as a base of operations during the battle against the first Death Star, Rhyley begins to try and locate the operations room. Once finding the room, he then sets to try and restore power to the building in order to direct Emfive who was left with the Rogue Star. Unfortunately however, with his back turned, Kileo suddenly runs off and though he gives chase he loses her quickly inside the maze of corridors before is somehow locked outside.
Eventually forcing his way back inside the building and locating Kileo, he finds the woman possessed by an evil being, triggering her dark abilities and almost killing Rhyley in the process. The young Corellian is saved in part thanks to a spirit that shielded him from the dark energies. Learning from this being that Kileo is not herself and has fallen victim to an ancient spirit, Rhyley heeds the advice of the phantom and does exactly as the being asks. Grabbing hold of Kileo, the three of them are able to force the ghoul from Kileo's body and expelling it for eternity.
With Kileo slowly coming to her senses, she would find strange engravings on the pillars of the grand hall. Showing Rhyley the engravings, Stargazer notices an odd glyph that looks eerily like his family's seal. Touching it, seems to trigger a light source and with Kileo also finding another glyph that does the same, a hidden pillar is revealed, and atop rests a strange cube-like key. Acquiring the key, and satisfied that she has done what her grandmother wanted, Kileo along with Rhyley leave the temple.
Heading back into the jungles of Yavin IV however, a sudden storm and torrential rain would make their journey back to their ship perilous. Lost in the depths of the jungle, they decide to look for shelter and upon finding yet another strange temple, Rhyley feels compelled to head inside. Kileo who sensing a warning regarding the temple prevents Rhyley from entering by dragging him in a different direction. By chance they stumble upon a hidden door way that Ellie points out was often used as a sanctuary by Kell Starbrighter during her stay on the planet. Inside the pair tries their best to stave off exhaustion and hypothermia as they await the rain to stop.
The next day, with the storm passing, Stargazer, Dimoh and Ellie return to the ship Rogue Star and leave the planet. Treating Kileo's wounds following the markings on her back changing thanks to the spirit that possessed her body, Rhyley leads the ship to land at the quiet planet of Myrkr, and instructs Kileo in landing his vessel, her first ever flying lesson.
====Covert Operations====
Landing on the planet, Rhyley along with Kileo and the two droids Ellie and Emfive begin exploring the new world having never been here before. Heading into the forests, they make camp under the stars. Although the small astromech droid had warned them on numerous occasions that they were being followed by animals of sorts, Rhyley and Kileo would both ignore the warnings, wanting to take the chance to just rest in a quiet environment for once.
It is only when the droid informs the couple that they are surrounded by these beasts that the pair actually begin to concern themselves with the animals. Standing back to back, they are suddenly attacked by the odd canine animals, assaulting them viciously with their tails and claws. Fighting back, the two find themselves overwhelmed by the numbers of the beasts and are split up as the fight ensues. Her arm slashed by one of the tails, the two are finally aided by a pack of hunters that finally reveal themselves to Rhyley and Kileo.
Recognising their armour as Mandalorian, the hunters inform Kileo and Rhyley that they were assigned to watch over the pair on the directives of Talon Karrde, accepting their help, they take Stargazer and Dimoh to an outpost base that has far more activity than they would've expected. Receiving treatment for her arm, one of the Mandalorian hunters reveals themselves to Rhyley, recognising her as Rylena Horloinne a former associate of his brother Bai'yle Norssohn. 
Explaining to her the death of his friend, they join the Mandalorians for a feast where a younger hunter, Briika Jeban, seems adamant in tattooing Rhyley. With the arrival of Talon Karrde who reveals knowledge about Kileo's unknown cousin being hunted by the Empire and gives a glimpse into his undertakings on the planet, Rhyley finally gives into the boisterous female and has his back tattooed in memory of Nicey, Snowman and Alor with a Mandalorian design.
===Children of the Dark Side===
====Fury====
Once home, Rhyley spends a day relatively on his own, catching up with the development of the Rebel outpost on Talus as well as the supplies being delivered constantly. It is during this quiet day that Cayla decides to call by. Greeting her, he tries to make her feel as welcome as he can manage, elated to see the children and get some time to spend with them. It is during their chats however that he notices Allya pale and seeming far quieter than her usual buoyant self. After querying Cayla, the female allays his concerns, implying that it's probably just a bug.
As they continue to converse however, Cayla eventually begins to talk more about what she has been up to, in her search on Tatooine for the former Jedi that were located on the planet. Detailing one such trip to a safe-house where she found a shrine of a former force sensitive and allowed the spirit to enter her body, describing her doing this in the hope that it would force Rhyley to fall in love with her, she suddenly realises that she has perhaps passed this spirit into the body of their daughter, Allya.
Furious that Cayla of all people would dare to do something as stupid as this, Rhyley barely contains his rage and keep a level head whilst talking with the woman, her mere presence offending him as he cradles his daughter in his arms. Asking if she could leave the children in his care whilst she leaves, hoping to be able to find a way to rid the spirit from Allya, Rhyley readily accepts, glad to have his children as far away from their mother as possible.
With Cayla gone and alone with his children, Rhyley turns to Kileo to confess his anger and fury at the mother of his children. His body visibly shaking because he's so consumed with hate, Kileo does her best to calm the passionate Corellian down. In the day that follows, Rhyley is quick to find his anger, short in his temper, and distracted from focusing on anything because of his fears for his daughter, he finds it impossible to find his usual casual spirit. Unable to help Kileo unlock the key from Yavin, the couple leave Kystes with the Stargazer children and head for Orupia in search of more answers, leaving the triplets in the care of Rhyley's grandmother Annuil at the shipyards on Chanmea.
====Backlash====
Exiting hyperspace at the dark planet, and hailing the surface on the private Draksyth channels that Rhyley had installed before he left Orupia months before, they are asked to land at the Royal Hangars of Pareen Palace. Greeted by Ser Augusta and the Royal Guard, they are paraded through the palace grounds before heading into the Draksyth's personal chambers. Once inside they are soon joined by Ser Moadeeb and his maiden, Halise. Asking to speak with Stargazer alone, Kileo leaves with Halise, and Moadeeb gives insight into the goings on across Cerafe and the sudden disappearance of many Draksin.
After a lengthy converse, Princess Isa Valois is announced as having returned from Milaina and has granted an audience with Rhyley. Sending word to Kileo for her to return to the palace, the young pilot dons his Draksyth attire and awaits her. When the female arrives, he is surprised by her clothing and sudden change of appearance. Enamoured by the sight she manages to offend him by pointing out he shouldn't change himself to appease others, highlighting his sudden change in vocal tone. Caught off-guard and hurt by her words, Stargazer leads the female to see the Orupian Princess. 
As Kileo asks Princess Isa for information regarding Orupian heritage and the reasons behind Sly Moore's time on the planet, Rhyley remains largely quiet still recoiling slightly from Kileo's words. Eventually as the two women draw their converse to a close, the Princess asks that the Corellian remain with her in order to talk further. Sending Kileo to her own chambers, Isa confesses her hope that Rhyley will remain this time on Orupia and her desires to rekindle the friendship they had once formed. Asking him to spend the night with her, Stargazer declines, stating that he was tired after such a long journey and difficult day.
Returning to his chambers, a guard would suddenly burst into his room exclaiming he had seen someone on the Draksyth's balcony. After a thorough search the alarm ceased and the palace resumed to it's normal settings as Rhyley began to over watch various view-screens with details of what had taken place on Orupia after his departure. Moments pass before a soft tapping would bring his attention to Kileo at the balcony. Soaked from head to toe because of the rain outside, and only dressed in a thin slip, Stargazer would allow her into the warm, though would treat her with an abject coldness.
As the two argue, Kileo stating she feared Rhyley was losing himself on the planet, the young man uses his charm and confidence to avert her concerns as the garments he wears begins to influence not only Rhyley but also Kileo. During the evening he would also be visited by the princess's head Handmaiden, Madeer before contacting Gaven Sel and preparing an excursion to the wastes with Rhyley's Blood Guard, in search of the tomb that they had found during their first visit of the planet.
====Revelation====
With Sel's aid and Rhyley's coordinates, the group manage to make their way to the Catacombs of the Wastes, a location once considered lost for thousands of years. Arriving at the ruins, Sel gives insight into the location as the guards locate a spy working on behalf of Prince Coti Valois. Using the force to get the answers from the spy, the man leads them into a cavern that because of the war between the Rebellion and Empire has breached an entrance into the catacombs. 
Heading inside, Kileo again begins to complain of hearing strange voices in her head. Sending Sel on with the spy and a few of his guards, Rhyley tries to convince Kileo that she is not the same person before that succumbed to the voices before. Eventually rejoining Gaven, the group locate an unmarked tomb. Unable to breech the entry, Kileo somehow manages to trigger an opening. Inside the young woman seems excited to quickly search the location and soon finds a garment and an archaic lightsaber.
With Gaven soon joining them, the Draksin guide suddenly realises whose tomb it is that they stand within. Bowing before Kileo, he exclaims that the tomb of former Orupia Princess Sita Ceylon could only be opened by someone of her decent and bloodline and that person must be Dimoh. Recognising the Mark of the Syth as the detail on the garment the young Nabooian has located as an inherent mark of those that share the Ceylon bloodline, Gaven adds further evidence that the Rebel is a descendant of the True Blood Royal Family.
Leaving the tomb, trying to decipher everything that has been revealed, the guards make another discovery and bring an amulet to Stargazer. Immediately compelled to reach for it, Kileo asks for the item to be given to her. Placing it around her neck, the female soon realises what Sly Moore was searching the catacombs for. With their questions answered and with nothing else to be learned from the tomb, Stargazer orders the execution of the spy with Kileo's reluctant approval.
The spy dead, they begin heading out of the caverns however the guards soon report that Princess Isa's forces are waiting for them. Surprised given Rhyley told no one where they were heading, he comes to the conclusion that Isa knew more about Moore's plan than they had figured. Knowing that she would never allow Dimoh to remain alive given what she now knew, Stargazer begs Kileo to accept her new found responsibility as Orupian Princess and asks Sel and a select few of his men to head back into the caves and find another exit before heading to the former Rebel haven, Benign Base, as the Draksyth Lord and his remaining guards make a stand against Isa.
As they exit, the princess pleas with the Draksyth to stand down and to join her instead. Rebutting her offers, Rhyley and his guards take cover and try to hold off the ambush for as long as they can. Losing numbers in the fight, Stargazer orders his remaining men to retreat back into the cave before he causes the entrance to crumble in on itself, seemingly enclosing them inside the tomb forever.
Heading in search of Kileo, Gaven and Emfive, Rhyley eventually leads his men back to Benign Base and a reunion with their allies. With the group suffering three fatalities, and many injuries, they spend the time in the forgotten Rebel base and slowly heal their wounds as the rest for the night.
====Conviction====
Filled with a sense of duty to the Draksin men that guarded her and having heard for herself their plight and hopes for the future, Kileo begins planning an uprising against Princess Isa and Prince Coti. Seeing the only possibility would be to unite the Draksin, she uses her knowledge and Rhyley's access to begin cutting the control Isa and Coti have over Orupia. First she begins to infiltrate the Orupian HoloNet, locking it down systematically as Rhyley tries to contact Ser Moadeeb at the palace.
As the net comes crashing down to a stop, unable to be activated again thanks to a series of lock-downs placed by the young Nabooian female after many hours finally Moadeeb responds. Quickly understanding that something is wrong, Stargazer asks to meet the Draksin male inside the palace. Coordinating her plan with Rhyley and Gaven Sel, Kileo's idea to infiltrate the palace along with Rhyley is met with instant refusal from Stargazer. Asking Gaven to give the two a moment alone, the Corellian pilot highlights the perils and responsibilities that are now landed at her feet.
Finally accepting Rhyley's insight to not be with him when he infiltrates the palace, Kileo agrees to wait nearby overseeing their operation as Gaven leads Stargazer into the maze of hidden corridors that are found in the palace and to a meeting with Moadeeb. With the guards left with directives to recover supplies from the local township of Laime, Rhyley, Kileo, Gaven along with Veeso and Tomith head to the Coilian Reservoir.
Using the underground waterways as the perfect cover to enter the city of Pareen undetected, Rhyley leaves Kileo at the rendezvous as he along with Gaven head towards the palace. Questioning Gaven as to the layout of the hidden passages inside the palace, once he is certain he knows how to find Moadeeb on his own, upon entering the palace, he locks Gaven out and tells him to return to Kileo. Alone and inside the palace, the Corellian pilot immediately sets to work, locating Moadeeb, he explains everything to the Draksin.
Convincing the man to join him and Kileo as the true heir to the throne of Orupia, Stargazer removes his rebel armour and dresses one of the protocol droids in his attire, triggering the alarms that an assassin was hunting Princess Isa, Rhyley and Moadeeb use the ensuing chaos to get the entirety of the Draksin Force out of the palace and on their way to Benign.
Quickly making their way back, as the pass through the wastes of Orupia, Kileo (fearing Rhyley was the 'assassin' about to be killed by the Orupian Royal Guard) suddenly sends a surge of dark energies into her link with Stargazer. Unable to control himself because of the insatiable appetite of his wound, and drawn to the energies because of the location and attire he found himself in, the sheer fervour of power was irresistible to the young Stargazer, triggering the dreaded Dark Hellblast ability himself and barely able to direct it away from his men as the overwhelming flood of dark side energies into the body of Rhyley left grave ramifications on his form.
Crossing the plains and finally arriving at Benign, Rhyley watched on as Moadeeb and his lieutenants bowed to Kileo and referred to the female as their Princess. Only after they had left, does Rhyley reveal the changes on his body to Dimoh, who although initially apologetic of what she has done, soon finds the assured confidence of the man's dark essence alluring.
====Allies====
Assuming the title of Princess of Orupia, Kileo immediately seeks Rhyley, Moadeeb and Gaven's counsel on how to end Isa's and eventually Coti's reign over Orupia. Deciding that they must fortify their position at Benign, Rhyley remains behind with Moadeeb as Kileo, Gaven and the Blood Guard head to Isiania to find the Draksin Resistance.
Using his knowledge of the local area, Rhyley soon oversees Kileo's forces take control not only of the area around Benign, but also the port towns of Laime and Sienaite, by throwing Isa's forces into further confusion by locking down all communications across Cerafe. Disorientated in the chaos caused by the lack of communications and networks, Isa's forces remain at the palace not knowing what exactly is going on, as the Draksin uprising at Benign continues almost completely undetected.
Within days, Kileo and Gaven soon return, with the Blood Guard and a large gathering of Isiania Draksin Resistance Fighters, led by Lietou. Uniting the Cerafe and Isiania Draksin (for the first time in over a millennia) under her command as the True Blood Forces, the young Nabooian female finalises her plans to take Pareen as Rhyley along with Moadeeb and Lietou prepare the army for the path ahead, as all swear an oath of loyalty to the Princess.
Highlighting the need to cause any possible loss in confidence amongst those on Cerafe for Isa and her rule, Kileo looks at trying to learn more about what had happened to the missing Draksin with Rhyley and Lietou using the trip to Sienaite as the perfect way to begin the investigation. With Gaven also stating the possible advances to their cause if they manage to convince the younger Lord of Cerafe, Ser Augusta, to betray his Princess, Ser Moadeeb readies a few of his most trusted men for a mission in Pareen, to place Pauwe and his SpyNet amongst the unsuspecting palace whilst also recovering the ship, Rogue Star, from the Royal Hangars with the assistance of Emfive.
====Sacrifice====
Hoping to garner support from the local populace to their cause, Kileo makes her first public visit, passing through the city of Sienaite Port, meeting with the many that crowded the streets just to catch a glimpse of her before actually speaking to the gathered masses in person. Her words were met with ruptuous applause as the crowds cheered in her name, not just Draksin, but even a few Orupians.
It was also during her visit of the port that Kileo would meet an elderly Draksin, Bunca, mother of the missing Ijawu. Hearing for herself the disturbing story regarding Ijawu's sudden disappearance, with the aid of Rhyley, the two manage to catch a sense of the missing Draksin in the north utilising the boy's dagger, and triggering Rhyley's Psychometry.
Heading north, the group stumble across the empty town of Seisson, devoid of any citizens. Surprised that the entirety of the Draksin town is empty, the two force sensitives suddenly hear beautiful music carried to them through the force. Trying to follow the lullaby, they soon encounter a mystical ripple that guides them towards a cave in the mountains, not far south of the wastes.
Entering the cave, it is quickly obvious that hidden inside is an Orupian Laboratory. Taking control of the location and capturing the local Orupian Guards, Rhyley along with Kileo head further inside, finding countless dead Draksin bodies being caged inside cells. Disgusted, they eventually find odd mystical experiments, where Isa had tried to use forbidden knowledge to create an entity known by legend as The Dread. Their fears are finalised when they actually locate the fruits of her dark experiments and confirm the fate of Baline, Ijawu and so many others.
Appalled by what they have found, they take over the labs and reform into into a type of Base for the group. With communications out, they know it could be some time before Isa herself returns to the cave, now known as Almousiqi. After questionning the guards, Kileo promises to grant them freedom after the war.
In the days after, Gaven Sel would also uncover several ancient artifacts within the caves, including the dicovery of HK-50, the personal assassin droid of Sita Ceylon.
====Omen====
It is whilst they stay at Almousiqi, that Isa begins her strategy of restoring her control over Cerafe. Receiving word that she had sent large battalions of her Royal Guard to restore crucial communications towers across the continent, as well as intel that Prince Coti was sending an Emissary to Pareen, Rhyley senses the chance to finally destabilise Princess Isa's power-base completely.
With Isa's men away from Pareen, the city would become largely unguarded, an excellent opportunity with which to attack the Palace outright and defeat Isa. The key however would hinge on stopping any aid from Prince Coti arriving before the Palace was taken. With Rhyley developing a plan to not only assassinate the Emissary, but to also win support of Ser Augusta from Princess Isa before launching a critical attack, the True Blood Forces prepare as best they can for the coming battle ahead.
With their plan readied, and training well under way for the difficult tasks that lie ahead, word is sent to Pauwe to carry a message to Ser Augusta, whilst Rhyley prepares for the assassination with the HK-50 droid. During the last evening Rhyley and Kileo share in Almousiqi, the woman receives a mystical vision of a possible future, of her as Princess of Orupia, and a son and daughter with Rhyley.
When they wake, the Starbrighter Holocron finally opens, revealing to Kileo the truth about her heritage on the planet, and just how much her grandmother knew with regards to their family's past. With their questions finally being answered, news of a meeting to take place in the wastes with Ser Augusta was delivered.
====Tempest====
Flying Kileo to the wastes, Rhyley remains at her side with Veeso as she meets with Ser Augusta. Informing him as to the truth of the murder of his father, Ser Augusta lends his support to Kileo on the single basis that when the war is finished, that he continue in his position as Chevalier of Ser. Kileo accepts, and with Augusta now joining their cause, the True Blood Forces would have their way into the Palace.
With Kileo returning to Almousiqi, Rhyley along with the HK-50 droid head to Milaina to undertake the assassination of the Coti Emissary. Their first effort however fails, and with the majority of the Emissary's security detail now on their tails, Stargazer and 'Hunter' flee into the city before the droids detonates a huge explosion, killing not only the Emissay and his party but also several citizens.
Though it comes at an alarming cost, Rhyley does not regret the act of the droid, and hides it from Kileo.
Returning to Almousiqi however Kileo senses Rhyley's lies and the two soon argue and quarrel about the droid, the course of the war and their actions as a result of it. Shouting at her for almost costing the confidence of her men by granting the guards of Almousiqi their freedom after the war, Stargazer pushes his lover to interrogate them again, this time using their families as a way to break them.
Kileo does as directed. Openly torturing the wife of the head guard and thus forcing him to finally break his silence as to what Isa was planning. With the guards broken, Kileo then sanctions their entire execution and orders Rhyley to carry out her word. Stargazer does as requested, further losing himself to the Darkness that was taking over his soul.
====Ascension====
With Isa's forces stretched, Ser Augusta's defection and no possible allies coming to her aid from Isiania, the time had come to launch their attack on Pareen. Sending the majrority of their force towards the city led by Moadeeb, Tomith and Lietou, Stargazer, Kileo, the Handmaidens,Veeso, Iaqau, HK-50, Gaven Sel and the Dread board the Rogue Star and instigate several attacks on the external walls of the city.
With Isa assuming that this was the focus of their attack, Stargazer breaks off from the engagement and flies to the Coilian Reservoir. Landing, the group sneak into the palace against little resistance due to the engagement within the city. Now in the palace, Kileo, the Handmaidens, Veeso and Iaqau fall into Isa's trap. Split off from his lover, Stargazer has to fight his way through several floors just to find a way to Kileo.
By the time he finds his lover, he sees most of the Handmaidens and Iaqau injured. With the Dread taking on Isa's on guards, HK-50 attacks Isa long enough to buy Kileo enough time to regroup from the ambush. With Stargazer moving to engage the remains of Isa's guards, it isn't long before the group overcome the odds, though Isa slays HK-50 in the process. With Isa now alone, Kileo herself attacks the female Orupian. Deciding to allow Kileo the chance to claim the victory for herself, Rhyley watches from afar as his apprentice disarms the Princess.
With Isa pleading for her life, Kileo listens to the female beg for forgiveness, instigating she had no choice feeling threatened by Sly Moore. Though Dimoh listens to her story, the Naboo female eventually executes the Orupian Royal, ending Isa's rule over Cerafe. Word of their victory in the palace quickly spred, with Augusta defecting during the battle, the True Blood Forces quickly take over Pareen.
Their joy however is short lived. Word comes to them that Prince Coti had gathered his own forces to the East and was marching on Pareen and that the remnants of Isa's forces were descending from the North. Deciding that they needed to instigate one severe blow to Coti's force. Rhyley offers to surrender to him, in the hopes of being taken to Coti with which to assassinate the Dark Prince.
Not wanting to risk Stargazer on his own, Kileo decides that she along with him will surrender, and then when brought before Coti, would trigger her Hellblast and decimate the Dark Prince's force. Though it is a risk, Stargazer agrees and the two willingly hand themselves over to Coti's force.
As expected, Coti had the pair brought before him. Whilst the Orupian Prince spoke, Rhyley grabs Kileo, and the female uses her dark ability to destroy not only Coti but the majority of his army. With the force in tatters, Isa's remaining force surrender upon hearing word of what has happened as Dimoh and Rhyley return to Pareen.
In the days after, Kileo is crowned as True Blood Princess, and the Orupian Civil War is over, ending in a victory for the True Blood Forces and a united Orupia.
===Ruin===
====Apocalypse====
Upon the unification of Orupia, Princess Kileo begins to merge from the conflict with grand ideas for the planet. Hoping to establish the planet amongst the galactic community, she instigates a decision to join the emerging New Republic. Rhyley however was at odds with decision, arguing that opening Orupia up so early to Galactic Politics would only destabilise the planet by meddling off-world politicians, the couple begin to argue from their stand points. Bringing others into the quarrel, it is the first sign of disharmony among the commanders of the True Blood Forces since the end of the way. Eventually, the Princess uses her position to force the issue through, and the pair along with Veeso leave the planet heading for negotiations with the new government on New Alderaan.
Meeting with Rebel Officials at the hidden Alliance world, Kileo and Rhyley both have a lot of explaining to do regarding their current status and with regards to the surprising developments of Orupia. After meeting with a series of officials, they are eventually brought before Mon Mothma, where by Princess Kileo manages to convince the leader of the Rebel Alliance in allowing Orupia to join the forming New Republic. Heading to the surface of the planet to be present for the signing of the treaty that will establish the new government, the couple are surprised to run into Kaje Reilloc and Cayla Dunestrider. With Rhyley remaining distant, the group talk quietly before a fleet suddenly drops out of hyperspace and attacks the Rebel Fleet above.
Taking Kileo forcibly, Rhyley immediately tries to return to their shuttle however the mysterious fleet triggers a devastating attack on the planet's surface, strategically targeting the defenceless cities, they assault the planet with a weapon that engulfs the planet's surface in fire. Force underground as their only means of escaping the inferno on the surface, the couple along with Kaje and Cayla are forced so far deep that they eventually stumble into a mining factory. Whilst stuck under the surface, the Trandoshan Sarparious Serpentus, who had been searching for Cayla, happens to stumble upon the group before the underground caverns become unstable and collapse. The group find themselves trapped under the ground with tensions and frustrations at boiling point, Rhyley's obvious change doesn't go unnoticed by the other force sensitives.
Admonished by Serpentus and avoided by Cayla, it is only when Kileo herself begins to turn against him does Stargazer's true aggression begin to come to light, threatening to kill Serpentus, Dunestrider, and even Reilloc for daring to comment on his change, the Princess has to carefully quell the man's fury.
====Destruction====
Life underground for the angry Stargazer in the days after is difficult, with no privacy, no food and no water, things soon come to a head as the group confined within the mining facility begin to argue more often than not. With Stargazer openly avoiding anyone aside from Kileo, the atmosphere in the underground sanctuary is quite unfriendly, and even between the couple, things are not as they should be with Rhyley critical of Kileo for daring to listen to Serpentus's words about him.
Almost a week passes before Sarparious reveals details of a passage that would ascend to the subways above, and though Rhyley is furious at what he perceives as a deceitful manipulation, he throws himself into the task of escaping the mining facility, taking Kileo with him, Kaje and Serpentus quickly follows as the group arrive at the subway. Whilst moving through the darkened undergound tunnels, creatures begin to attack the group managing to bite Kileo and Serpentus, as it drives them unknowingly to the surface.
Arriving above ground Stargazer sees for himself first hand the devastation that has gripped the planet. Taking sanctuary in the cantina, Rhyley aids administering aid to Kileo. Witnessing as a black ooze seeps from her wound, the discovery of food and drink is more than welcomed. However their peace is short-lived, with Serpentus' injuries remaining unknown to the group, he begins to act odd, bordering on crazy. Able to take shelter for the evening, the group soon realise that something else has been within the cantina. With Kileo's condition worsening and Kaje seemingly physically deteriorating as well, the group decide to head for a medical centre.
At the centre, Rhyley heads in alone initially. Finding the place void of life he calls back to those travelling with him as he heads further inside. With the others finding supplies to tend to their wounds, Rhyley stumbles across a huge nest on the next floor, with giant spiders having taken refuge in the abandoned medical location. Fleeing, the group quickly find sanctuary in a hotel, where they take rest in the penthouse suite on the top levels.
====Trapped====
At the penthouse suite, Stargazer makes use of the running showers and storage of clothing to freshen up out of his stale dirty attire. Such a simple task is a welcome luxury given the trials they had to endure underground.
After utilising a simple terminal to scan for local frequencies, they hear a broken message, unclear and indistinct yet continually repeating. Peering out from their lofted position the group witness more survivors in the streets but are reluctant to offer aid. Working on the roof of the hotel to fix the antenna, they hear the message properly for the first time and are surprised to learn that it is Erisey directing those still on the surface to head for specific coordinates in order to be picked up.
Leaving the suite as best prepared as they can manage, still with injuries and having seen Cayla finally relocate the group, they head off in search of a working speeder, hoping to use it to reach the coordinates. Finding a military tank, they manage to get onboard and recover a weapons cache that would provide crucial in their continued survival.
Locating a nightclub, they investigate the location having learned that it has an underground garage that is locked. Inside, Stargazer has to deal with security droids activated to protect the location from outsiders whilst trying to find a way to open the garage. Realising at that point that Sarparious is injured and now bleeding the same black ooze that Kileo had, Rhyley works his way to the roof where he finds giant bat-like creatures having made a nest.
Disturbing the giant beast, Rhyley fights off the huge creatures before finally enabling him to open the bay doors of the garage. Making their way to the garage, Stargazer is about to head in before he notices dozens of people gather on the streets ahead of the nightclub. Realising that these people seem mindless, having tried to reach to them with the force, Rhyley, Kileo, Kaje, Cayla and Sarparious quickly head into the garage.
====Hell====
In the garage, they use the huge underground storage facility to lose the people now chasing them before quickly making their way back to the hotel. With Sarparious's condition at a critical low, Rhyley decides to leave the group in the hope of still making the rendezvous with the Alliance pick-up. Convincing Kileo to let him go, he heads off quickly.
Arriving at the coordinates having run as fast as he could for the duration of the journey, he finds dozens of dead bodies at the scene. As he begins to try and learn how this happened, realising he missed the pick-up by only a matter of minutes, more crazed people begin to arrive and watch the Corellian. Though he draws his weapon to fight, the noise of their scuffles only seems to draw more attention before Rhyley is forced to flee heading back to the hotel.
Back at the suite, Rhyley learns that Sarparious is worse now than when he left. Gathering as many supplies as the group can manage, Rhyley tells Kileo of his plan to leave the city. Agreeing with his idea, he, Kileo, Kaje and Cayla leave Sarparious in the hotel and leave the city limits.
==Dawn of the Dead (8 ABY - 9 ABY)==
===Faith===
====The Wastes====
Though the devastation in the city is overwhelming, it is nothing to the scene outside, with the entire flatlanes burned and reduced to dust, forests and lakes dried up, with huge crevices strewn across the plains. Traipsing across the plains in the hope of finding somewhere to spend the night with their supplies beginning to get low, it is days before they eventually find a small farmhouse. At the quiet broken building however, Rhyley begins to break down, his force wound crippling his condition.
Though Kileo does all she can for the Corellian, his condition slowly gets worse, as they move about trying to find a way to escape the planet. Soon their attention simply becomes that of surviving as food and water become scarce, days turning into weeks before turning into months as the group battle to keep going.
Their spirits dangerously low, Rhyley's condition never getting any better as he continues to suffer from frequent break downs, the group believe they'll never escape and merely focus on trying to make the best of their situation.
====Struggles====
Constantly on the move, Rhyley finally comes clean to Cayla about his affair with Kileo and his worsening condition. Having long accepted that their fate on the planet was decided, the four humans live as scavengers, shifting from abandoned town to village, dealing with whatever monstrosity they find be it the lifeless drones, giant rats, or mutated spiders, their life in the wastes of New Alderaan is simply survival as they loot homes before finding somewhere quiet to rest for a few days.
Forced to take flight from another sanctuary with the drones again finding them, the locate a radio transmission tower, and take solace within. After accessing the radio waves they learn about another unexplored city, and even more importantly learn of a museum within the city that was known to store many various old ships for display purposes. Hopeful that this might be a way off planet, they begin to head there, though take rest within a gas garage along the way.
====Escape====
Unbeknownst to Stargazer with the group having no way of tracking time, a year had passed since New Alderaan was caught in the devastating attack that ravaged the surface of the planet and killed millions of innocent lives. Their spirits beaten, their bodies broke, it took a huge amount of energy and will for the group of make their way to the city, before Stargazer collapses and slips into a coma.
With his body moved back to the gas garage, Rhyley slips lifelessly into the netherworld. It is here that he comes face to face with the spirits of Bai'yle Norssohn, Yoda and Ulic Qel-Droma. Warned that he is slowly being consumed by what could mean the death of the force, Rhyley barely believes his senses as he talks with the spirits as he is directed to search for the answers to his problem on Ossus. Whilst his companions find a working ship and recover the body of Rhyley, finally escaping New Alderaan, the Corellian still in a coma as Kileo worries about his most concerning and alarming shut down.
===Revenge of the Sith===
====Captured====
With his friends exploring the remains of various ships that are littered throughout the planet's orbit, their effort to enter hyperspace is thwarted as the engines fail. Working to fix the problem, Rhyley finally awakes from his comatose state. Disorientated, the young man seems fervent in his desire to find something, eventually leading him to the revelation that he must travel to Ossus.
As time passes and the crew work to fix the vessel a small red light outside of the ship soon comes in for much debate. Whilst Rhyley remains in the cockpit alone he notices an oddity and decides to investigating the small flickering 'star' before he and Kileo and Cayla witness the light suddenly streak off into a flash of white. Realising that the red light was actually a ship jamming their sensors and not a far off star like they had initially considered, the friends work frantically to fix the hyper-drive engines. With the drives finally fixed, Kileo places the ship into an immediate jump for Hok, however no sooner has the ship entered light-speed does the vessel get kicked from it's rapid travel.
An Imperial Interdictor comes into view above them, the cause for their exit from hyper-space. Hailed, the Empire already knows that Rhyley Stargazer is on-board. Giving his word that he will surrender, Rhyley and Kaje look to find smuggling compartments for which Kaje along with Kileo and Cayla can hide within. They barely have time to prepare such a compartment hold before the Empire begins to enter the vessel. Rhyley is immediately captured, though willingly he gives himself over, the Imperial forces are ruthless in their actions to apprehend the young Corellian, stunning him with several stun shots before dragging him away. With a boarding party certain that others are on-board, they eventually find Kileo, and arrest her too.
With Rhyley and Kileo taken away to the vessels detention cells, aboard the Interdictor Rhyley is hauled to an interrogation chamber. Stunned, when he awakes he finds himself unable to call on the force as he is continually beaten to keep him weak. Eventually moved to a cell the Corellian draws on his reserve of strength to try and mount an escape, it is at that time he realises that Kileo is being held here as well. Carried off again, he is tortured, caged, and severely beaten as Kileo remains waiting in her cell. Led to a Lambda Shuttle waiting to transport him to his next destination, he is led by a pale woman to Kileo before the pair are placed onboard the shuttle.
The small vessel makes its way to the surface of Carida, the Empire making certain that their captives have no chance of escape by utilising several means to keep the pair compliant. The pale female hunter continues to taunt the two however, hoping to further inflict yet more injury to their spirit as they head to Carida. Administering a drug to Rhyley to keep him in a state that they can control, before binding him to a stun collar, and covering his ears and eyes, Kileo is forced to watch as Rhyley's state deteriorates in front of her. As they finally arrive at the Imperial stronghold Kileo is gagged forcibly by the pale woman.
====Tortured====
Pushed out into a grand hangar surrounded by dozens of stormtroopers, with his senses dampened considerably, still unable to tap into the force, he and Kileo are led to two unknown figures. As the pale woman, Sing as she is referred to, brings her prey to the pair she is rewarded and allowed to leave. Making sure to taunt Kileo one last time, the tall woman leaves, allowing the other female to take a closer look at Rhyley. With the drugs clearly disorientating him, his eyes and ears covered and the collar bind continually charging his body with electrical charges, Rhyley is easily manipulated into believing the person talking to him is Kileo.
As Dimoh stands, unable to prevent the woman from doing anything, screaming with all her might, the female unbinds Rhyley from his restrictive collar and watches as the man falls into her arms. Whispering quietly to him, with Stargazer believing that the person that has rescued him is his lover, the female taunts Kileo by kissing him before stepping aside so the surrounding Trooper can fire upon the body of Rhyley. The young Corellian is dropped to the floor, motionless and eventually dragged away as the woman begins to lay the final pieces of her plan into motion and orders Kileo to be taken to her personal quarters.
Hauled to yet another torture chamber, the Corellian went through a series of gruelling tortures in order to break him by his captors, Screed and Shikan. The first a modified scan grid that charged his body with electrical currents, before he was placed into electro-stasis, administered with chemicals injected into his body, bringing the man into violent convulsions and seizures. Eventually passing out yet still not breaking to the Imperials orders, his torturer opts to try a new tact, and after removing the Corellian from the chambers, instigated another plan with which to break Stargazer. Placed in a cell, he was deprived from food or sleep and given barely any water, in an effort to keep him physically vulnerable.
====Betrayed====
Meanwhile Shikan returned to her quarters with Kileo still held inside, the Nubian would finally meet the woman that had pretended to be her only a few hours before. Kileo, frustrated and angry was in no mood to mince her words as she scolded her captors. Shikan however was unlike any enemy she had come across before. Alone in the room the female Zeltron used her innate abilities to begin manipulating Kileo into believing what the Zeltron needed. With the aid of her pheromones and Kileo's inability to sense the force, it wasn't long before the Princess of Orupia became a mere extension of Shikan's will, bent to her desires and ready to do what her master needed in making Stargazer more compliant.
With Kileo now almost as loyal to the Shikan as any of the cadet stormtroopers are to the Galactic Empire, Shikan's plans had changed. Now hoping to use Kileo to bring Rhyley to a point that she could have complete control over the young Corellian, Shikan portrayed herself as Kileo's ally, allowing her to even go so far as ordering Imperial Stormtroopers around and giving the woman access to anywhere within the ST HQ. Taking her to the detention black, she warned Kileo to expect Rhyley to be dangerous and delirious, the drug that Aurra Sing having given him being the effect. Kileo, glad that she was going to see Rhyley took on Shikan's warnings as she finally met with Stargazer in the cells.
Having been tortured for almost eight hours the former Rebel had little strength left as he is reunited with Kileo. With his lover informing him that he was safe, that the Empire was here to help him and that he would soon be with 'us', Rhyley soon realised that something was very wrong with Kileo. Noticing that the cells were left open, Rhyley tries to escape, ignoring the woman asking him to stop.
Though only getting so far as a pair of stormtroopers, the Corellian pilot uses Kileo to get the upper hand, grabbing a blaster and rushing as fast as he could. Unfortunately for him, Kileo would be his biggest obstacle. The woman slowing his progress would also try to disarm him at the request of Shikan. With Rhyley eventually stunned though not before shooting Shikan, the stormtroopers refer to Kileo as 'Her Highness' as ask for her orders. The Princess, now in charge of Imperial Forces decides to place Rhyley in the quarters that she had been staying in, not realising that Shikan's plan was going as she had fully expected.
====Seduced====
Waking in the personal quarters Rhyley finally opens his eyes to see Kileo first before noticing Shikan alongside. Rushing after the pink skinned female, he considers her an imposter of a woman he believes he once dated before his time spent on Hoth. Grabbing the female by the throat he orders Kileo to keep away from him as he hopes to squeeze the life out of the Zeltron.
As the Zeltron splutters for help, it is Kileo's questions that eventually stop Rhyley killing the pink woman. With Kileo acting afraid of Stargazer, the young Corellian begins questioning his own actions and whether the woman was right and that the galaxy really has changed. Soon joined by Shikan, the females convince Stargazer to listen to their words, manipulating his thoughts and slowly seducing him to their will, Stargazer finally succumbs to the two women and their Galactic Empire.
====Prepared====
The next day would see Shikan's plans almost set. With Rhyley listening and doing everything she and Kileo asked, Shikan continued to dominate the mind of the Nubian to have Rhyley agree to go with Shikan to her friend, Izard Kalleem, the man that is now called 'Emperor'.
Although he feels nervous about placing himself in stasis, again he agrees to consider the proposal when the Zeltron and more importantly Kileo help to convince him. After seeing for himself that the ST Corps is now full of non-Humans, shown that the Empire is far different from Palpatine's order Rhyley finally admits that the Empire's plan would be his only choice, suppressing the alarms that his body is trying to trigger and still void of the force.
He enters the Cryogenics Chamber and with Kileo and Shikan watching on, is placed into hibernation for his journey to the Emperor. After placing the cryo-cube of Stargazer now in stasis aboard a YT2400, the Corellian is transported to Etti IV, the home of Kalleem's New Empire, the Sith Ascendancy.
====Delivered====
Delivered to the Emperor at Etti IV, Shikan wins favour with Kalleem for finally bringing Stargazer to him. Though he is kept in stasis, Shikan gives further insight into Rhyley's companions, more importantly her interactions with Kileo Dimoh. With his plans for restoring the entity known as Rhykan almost complete, the untimely attack on the Corporate Sector by Warlord Zsinji launches the Sith Ascendancy's defences into readying, and Stargazer having to be placed in more secure surroundings at a secret bunker.
Whilst the engagement between the two Imperial forces develops, and his companions arrive at the planet in search of him, Rhyley continues to suffer from a recurring dream whilst in his hibernating state. Suffering from his dark vision of a possible future, Rhyley continues to battle within himself as he is finally located still in stasis by Kileo, Cayla Dunestrider, Kaje Reilloc and his brother An-Taei Wynonyms.
====Saved====
Arriving at the medical station where Rhyley is being stored, Kileo and Kaje successfully dispose of the Imperial forces guarding him before finally thawing Rhyley. Disorientated and not trusting Kileo, Rhyley listens to Kaje as the group of friends head back to the surface where they see the Rogue Star waiting for them. The friends rush on-board as An-Taei flies away from the secret base with TIE fighters chasing their ship before entering hyperspace and leaving Etti IV far behind.
Whilst on their way to Endor, Rhyley talks with his brother as he slowly realises just how different the galaxy is. Slowly the Corellian catches up with the state of glacitc affairs and the emergence of the Imperial Warlords that continue to resist the New Republic, the new government formed from the Rebel Alliance. Though he is glad to spend time with his sibling, he uses it to maintain some form of distance from Kileo.
Eventually however the Corellian Pilot and Orupian Princess talk about their capture and time on Carida. Though it is difficult for both to deal with, Rhyley tries his best to hide his insecurities regarding Kileo, having long had recurring nightmares that she would betray him somehow. Trying to bury his worries, Stargazer and Kileo manage in some way to patch together their relationship.
===A New Hope===
====Axiom====
Re-emerging into real space at Endor the Rogue Star comes face to face with the New Republic Fleet. After making contact with the armada of capital ships they are sent on a path to Nebulon-B Frigate Armistace. Landing inside the small hangar, they are greeted by the Bothan Commander Traest Kre'fey, son of General Laryn Kre'fey. Following a difficult exchange between the humans and the Bothans, whilst the groups converse, Admiral Taei Wynonyms quickly arrives via a shuttle and 'rescues' the humans from the Bothans, taking them to meet with Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar on Home One.
Their converse and exchange is brief with the President of the New Republic and Supreme Commander of it's fleet as it is interrupted by Borsk Fey'lya. Having scoffed at the idea of an Imperial presence massing in the Corporate Sector, the group of friends plead for their case to be heard by Ackbar and the Provisional Council. Ackbar and Mon Mothma accepts, before Fey'lya departs. With the group told they are free to utilise their free time as they please, the companions leave Home One and board the Star Destroyer Emancipator, a ship captured by the Rebel Alliance at the Battle of Endor, and now fully refurbished for use by the New Republic under the command of Admiral Taei Wynonyms.
====Differences====
Boarding the Star Destroyer, the Corellian and Kileo immediately lead up to the private quarters of the ship's commanding officer. There Rhyley meets with his family for the first time in well over a year. Elated to see him safe and well, his mother wastes no time in scolding him for his actions for the past two years. When Rhyley reveals that he is to marry Kileo, his mother is furious and immediately refuses to allow it.
The argument with his mother lasts for many hours, with his siblings and father and sister unable to cool the tensions. In fact it is only when Samuun begins to cry herself does their arguing stop. With Kileo shell-shocked and feeling dejected, Rhyley still refusing to yield to his mother's will asks to speak with his parents alone, leaving Kileo with his sister. Talking to his parents, Rhyley finally tells them the troubles he has been having for the past few years and admits the failures that his mother lays at his feet. Able to get his point of view across, his mother finally agrees to at least talk with Kileo.
Waiting with his father, sister and brother whilst Kileo and Tessia talk, Rhyley uses the time to catch up with his family. Eventually after over an hour Tessia and Kileo arrive, with his mother having finally given their marriage her blessing. As the family again sit together, the women talk about the impending wedding as the men converse about the war effort.
With the family blessing Rhyley and Kileo are assigned their own private quarters and allowed some time on their own. Throughout the night however Rhyley has trouble sleeping or focusing, his concerns regarding Carida and the Corporate Sector, along with the memories of his seduction by Shikan and Kileo still traumatising him. Eventually Rhyley confides with Kileo his memories from Hoth.
Detailing to her the struggles on the ice planet, and the vicious fighting against the Empire, he recalls his days with Shie Azumie, the woman that eventually became Shikan. As Kileo admits her own insecurities, the two try to talk about what happened on Carida, yet both eventually end up arguing. Their argument is only halted when they are visited by Judder Page and Corran Horn.
Welcomed by the pair and congratulated on their engagement, the two Republic Operatives, talk with the couple about what the New Republic has been doing and it's current course. Both hopeful that Stargazer and Dimoh will soon join the war effort, no longer had Page and Horn left do Kileo and Rhyley return to their disagreement. Unable to find a way to deal with each other's worries and fears, Rhyley decides to leave the fleet for a short time, to travel to Ossus with Kileo accompanying him.
====The Edge of the Abyss====
Their arrival at Ossus is greeted by dangerous thunderstorms lining the planet. Making their way down, the ship is crippled by such a charge of electricity, and Rhyley does his best to coax the ship down as it's back up systems slowly re-initialise. Managing to land, Rhyley and Kileo wander out into the wilderness of Ossus. 
 
Deciding that the best way to find whatever it was that Rhyley needed to discover, the Corellian would need to be at peace, Stargazer concentrates on his connection to the force, meditate, mind linking with Kileo. The couple catch a glimpse of Ossus in the time of the Old Jedi Order, the tall impressive archaic building standing as if they were actually here millennia before, with the place also feeling eerily familiar to the two humans. Able to sense a way to where the location once stood, the lovers set off.
The course there however was not without difficulty, electrical storms continuing to play havoc with their electrical equipment and they are forced to make their way on foot, passing various destroyed and crippled droids and vessels hat have been left forgotten here thanks to the storms. Eventually the couple find four tall pillars touched with mystical energies. Approaching them, when they enter the vicinity of the pillars, a force shield wrap around them, trapping them within.
Realising they had been tricked here, the two work to free themselves from the trap and disable the energies entrapping the humans. Now free, a dark figure reveals itself and attacks the two humans. Overwhelming them with his rage, and having caught Rhyley unaware, the being introduces itself as Travgen the guardian of the Jedi.
Realising that the couple are both what he describes as Sith, and seeing the dark wound within Rhyley, the former Jedi tries to kill Stargazer as he pleads with Kileo to stop the crazed figure. With Kileo trying to make the Jedi see sense through her words, it is only when he begins to drain the life out of Rhyley that Kileo finally kills Travgen. The toll the attack takes on Rhyley's body is severe, his hair as white as snow, his skin as crumpled as a prune, the man stands on the edge of being completely consumed by the wound.
Blaming Kileo for not saving him when he needed her most, the man slumps onwards to the Jedi Library he searches for.
====Trial of Self====
Finally locating ruins of the former Great Jedi Library the pair force their way inside, triggering a hologram to come to their aid. Introducing itself as Jedi Odan-Urr, referring to Rhyley as Jedi Qel-Droma he and Kileo hear some of the tales from the past regarding Jedi Exar Kun and Noab Hulis. Asking to access the archives, the couple are informed that to do so they must pass the Jedi Trials.
Knowing this is the only way for him to find the answers to undo the damage done to his body, Rhyley agrees to take the trials, surprised to hear that Kileo too wishes to undertake them. Though he has his reservations, Kileo manages to allay his worries about her taking them, and the pair head in to face the Trial of Trial of Self where their Spirit and Faith would be tested to its limits.
The trial was unlike anything Rhyley expected, gruelling in its probing manner, Rhyley would sit through an alternate version of events in a world where he is despised and loathed. He sees Kileo at first and initially reacts to her as if the real Kileo, only to see her teasing him with Atyphe. When the two women chastise the Corellian for still not passing the Jedi tests, they are joined by Sava, and Rhyley is forced to watch his love in the arms of her former beau.
Though his anger rises, he manages to see through the vision and is then spoken to by an unknown voice, questioning Rhyley's motives for his actions. As Rhyley explains his passion and devotion for his friends, he is shown the consequences of his passion through various events across the galaxy. Seeing again Aniwevei joining Temaz, Atyphe leaving him, Cayla hating him and a future where Kileo dies in his arms.
Though Rhyley almost breaks down, the Corellian manages to hold firm and reaffirm that what he does is only done in the hope of helping those that need it. Because of his passion and hopefulness, the Corellian passes the Jedi Trial, essentially decorating him as Jedi Knight of the Ancient Jedi Order.
====Blood Healing====
Inside the archives Rhyley is relieved to see that Kileo too managed to pass her own trials, retelling of their ordeals, the two quickly head down to the Halls of Knowledge with the aid of the hologram of Jedi Odan-Urr. Rhyley immediately begins scaling the ancient data-files for any details that might aid his worsening condition. With Kileo wandering off the Corellian remains alone where he learns of a fallen Jedi turned Sith, Darth Sephirus and the Tale of the Living Wound.
Reading the tale, Rhyley soon discovers that the only way for him to rid himself of the wound is for him to sacrifice himself at the point where the wound was torn. Theorising that this point must be where Aniwevei was severely injured, it soon dawns on the young man, that he must not only find Aniwevei, but with her, Kileo and Cayla, travel to Dxun and sacrifice himself in hope that the three women would be enough to bring him back fully cleansed. Knowing what he must do, the Corellian heads off to find Kileo.
 
Locating Kileo within the Chamber of Antiquities, his lover seems to be lost in the reading of a book that Rhyley cannot begin to understand. It's writing as alien to him as the planet, Kileo states surprisingly that not only can she read the book, but that she can use it to cure Rhyley by casting a spell known as The Cleansing. With the female fixated on the book, going so far to keep it from Rhyley's grasp, the woman pleads continually with the Corellian to be given the chance to cure him. Not realising that the book, is actually The Book of Spells that had cast a spell over his lover, Rhyley eventually agrees.
After searching for the things she would need and a room large enough to perform that ancient sith spell, Kileo uses her new dark knowledge to cast Sith Blood Magic on Rhyley. S at within a star of salt, Kileo cuts her hand and the hand of Rhyley before they join their bloody hands. With the female reciting the incantation of Cleansing, Rhyley falls into a deep state of hibernation, his flow to the force becoming stronger and his mind and spirit open completely to Kileo. The female then entered into the conscious of the Corellian, and further embalmed the man with another spell that permanently closes the force wound. The ordeal however comes at severe cost to Kileo, her essence tainted further by the darkness that is beginning to entrap the female, with her eyes shifting to a rich scarlet colour, as she cries tears of blood.
Waking some time later, Rhyley's body reverts back to how it once was, his eyes blue, his skin firm and tanned, and his hair its natural brown colour. With his entire spirit lifted and no taint within him, the Corellian is overtaken with emotion of past dark choices he has made, the hope he now has, and his love for Kileo. The two embrace within the Great Library and spend a few nights there alone, before finally returning to Endor.
====Resigned Determination====
In the days after, Rhyley, Kileo, along with Kaje and Cayla finally bring their case to the Provisional Council and Military Commanders of the New Republic. After showing their evidence, the Bothan General Laryn Kre'fey, a vocal opponent of the group reveals his own findings. Having sent a Bothan Scout Group to investigate the fleet battles at Etti IV, the Bothan scouts concluded no battle took place.
Not knowing that the reports were falsified by the Bothan General, and refuting the Bothan's claims that the Corporate Sector provided no threat to the New Republic, though esteemed military thinkers such as Ackbar, Crix Madine, Wynonyms and Airen Cracken voted in favour of tackling the Corporate Sector first, the majority of the Provisional Council, along with General Kre'fey and Borsk Fey'lya voted against, meaning the New Republic Forces would carry out their intentions of attacking Coruscant.
With the group having lost the chance to convince the New Republic Forces to send a flotilla to the Corporate Sector, they are informed that they are to be placed under the command of General Laryn Kre'fey and lead his commandos alongside Lieutenant Judder Page in the assault of Borleias.
Having heard for themselves the plan of Borleias and hearing from Judder Page and Corran Horn of the increasing unrest within the New Republic's Military regarding Kre'fey's proposed plan, the group of friends decline. Infuriating both Kre'fey and his supporters, Rhyley feeling he had no other choice decided to instigate his own resignation before the council. With their allies and Princess Kileo watching on, Kaje Reilloc and Cayla Dunestrider soon did the same.
===Rebellion===
====In the Unlikeliest of Places====
Having resigned from active service Rhyley with his friends quietly leave the New Republic Fleet at Endor on a flight to Orupia. Along the way because of frustration and limited supplies the group make a stop at Bandomeer, deciding to take rest in an XQ2 Space Station that orbits the world. Though they expect to split and scatter to the distant corners of the galaxy, Kaje and Kileo head onto Chip's Cantina and Cayla and Rhyley talk about what they will do next. Deciding to remain with Stargazer, Cayla returns to the Rogue Star as Rhyley rejoins Kaje and Kileo. Though they are not alone for long.
A female in greasy mechanic clothing staggers into the three friends, clearly dishevelled, worried and injured. After pleading with the group to aid her, they are stopped by two sinister appearing men, who insist on taking the female with them. Jumping the pair, the group of friends and the female flee into the lower levels of the Bavon Dorr Space Platform, finding a rest at the woman's small abode. As she receives medical treatment from Kaje, she introduces herself as Kara, a female operative of Garm Bel Iblis's forces, who was uncovered as a possible Republic sympathiser whilst undercover for Bel Iblis at Bandomeer.
Informing the group that she was to receive the delivery of an important cargo at Bay THX1138 from a droid named Glitch, the young female manages to convince the group to take her plight on as their own. Contacting Cayla they are soon joined by the female, before Rhyley, Kileo and Cayla leave Kaje still tending to Kara as they head to a mall within the lower levels in search of information regarding Storage Bay THX1138.
====Underworld====
The difference between the promenade and the mall is astounding. Dirty, cramped and with actual walls and flooring decaying into rust, the trio of Rhyley, Kileo and Cayla begin to move amongst the locals in searching for information. With a security officer keeping an eye on the mall, Kileo contacts a street urchin, a Nikto who for a mere ten credits seems happy enough to distract the security officer for the Princess. With the security officer gone and Cayla busily learning information from a local Bothan, Rhyley then Kileo utilise nearby terminals to learn as much as they can about bay THX1138. With the Princess successfully gaining crucial Intel about the supposedly off-limits storage bay, the three friends group up with their findings before they head towards the quarantined level.
Welcomed by a pair of large Wookiees as they arrive at the bay, the trio manage to enter the bay where they are met by an enigmatic LE-series Repair Droid that introduces himself as Glitch. With their friends stumbling their way through trying to gain access to the cargo, the Majordomo of the Droid Crime Lord informs Glitch that the trio are actually Rebels Stargazer, Dimoh and Dunestrider. Keen to have the group on his payroll, Kileo and Rhyley offer the droid a deal, they pay for the info on the cargo that Kara needs, and they buy into Glitch's organisation, effectively becoming silent partners where the two groups will looks to do future business from now on.
With the deal sanctioned Glitch begins to share his findings and info with his new found friends. As they discuss a blaster battle takes place just outside as the friends quickly take cover before a Devaronian named Nigan Tor storms Glitch's operation with a pair of thugs. Intent on killing the droid and ending his group Tor is unprepared as Kileo, Rhyley and Cayla launch their counter offensive, killing the thugs and capturing Nigan Tor alive. Delighted at what they have done for him, Glitch hands back the credits the heroes had paid for his information, with the promise that he will be continual friend from now on.
====Moffs and Nobles====
Armed with information that the mysterious cargo that Kara desires is actually an Agent frozen in carbonite and stored within Main Hangar Bay on Blue Deck, an Imperial Elite Area, the trio head back to Kaje and Kara before quietly making their way to the Rogue Star where they begin hatching their plan.
Knowing they'll have to pass for Coruscanti-type Imperial Nobles, Kaje and Cayla depart from the Rogue Star in search of supplies for the ship as well as any possible equipment that might aid them on their next course of action as Rhyley and Kileo go shopping for Imperial attire. After acquiring the items they would need, they regroup again before disguised as Coruscanti, Rhyley, Kaje and Kileo head to Blue Deck as Cayla remains behind to keep an eye on Kara.
Arriving at Blue Deck, the trio explore the bustling level, Kaje and Rhyley portraying mere bodyguards for Kileo who maintains the regal persona of an Imperial noble. Whilst investigating at a nearby ship merchant for any possible information regarding the main docking bay, Rhyley and Kaje notice a man that looks eerily familiar to the men they attacked at Chip's Cantina. Keeping an eye on the figure as they continue to 'guard' Kileo, Kaje is pushed by a local drunkard. As a scuffle ensues, Rhyley quickly heads after the figure, that has now noticed Kaje and disappeared down a dark alleyway.
====Old Tricks====
Managing to catch up with the familiar looking man. forcing him into a dark corner where no one can see the pair, Rhyley assaults the man trying to get information from him. With Kaje joining him, the pair learn this man is an informant for the Empire, Skig Banos. After a series of lies to try and get away from Stargazer and Reilloc, Banos finally gives the men a truth, that the main docking bay is being investigated by Imperial Stormtroopers for contraband.
Knocking Skig out, Rhyley, Kaje and Kileo regroup in the turbo lifts heading for the main docking bay. Formulating a plan, the trio head towards the docking bay where Kileo has to slice open the door to allow the group entry. As they sneak inside they witness an Imperial Officer directing his Stormtroopers in finding the contraband. With a nearby e-web blaster set up just to their left, Kaje quietly sneaks to the mounted heavy weapon before he opens fire on the Stormtroopers as Rhyley and Kileo provide him cover by shooting down the officer. As Kileo finds the man frozen in carbonite, and Kaje keeping the entrance covered, Kara informs Rhyley a ship, The Banshee is on it's way to pick up the precious cargo.
Soon a large Baudo-class Star Yacht named The Banshee drifts into the main docking bay and lowers its ramp. Over the loudspeaker, the ship’s captain, a man named Dayvid Midanyl, calls out to the heroes that Kara sent him to fetch them. Placing the carbon block onboard, Rhyley tells the ship's crew to head on and they'll follow in the Rogue Star. As the yacht departs, the Star soon takes it's place as Rhyley and Kileo board with a crate of Alderaanian Port. Kaje also joins them, dragging a repulsor sled carrying the e-web blaster behind him.
With the group all on the YT-1300 freighter, they follow the yacht of Midanyl away from Bandomeer before entering hyperspace.
====Impounded====
Having agreed to drop off the Alderaanian Port for Glitch to a contact of his on Telos, when the ship arrives at the planet and land at Thani. With Kaje and Cayla wandering off, Rhyley waits with Kileo at the Star for Glitch's contact to arrive. As they wait, a Port Inspector arrives, asking to see their shipping manifest. Knowing the couple are importing the Port, he then informs them to a tax levy that will need to be paid and will cost the lovers fifty thousand credits. Furious and irate at the charges, Rhyley tries to get back into his ship only to see it blocked off by security guards. With little choice, he sees his beloved vessel impounded and informed that he has twenty four hours to raise the credits to pay the charges.
Heading away they finally come across Glitch's contact, Avi Eynol. Furious that this man has cost him his ship, Rhyley forces the small man to find out how to get his ship back. Promising to do his best, Avi leaves and Rhyley and Kileo wander into the city. Eventually contacted again by Eynol, the man asks them to meet him in a cantina where he describes that a customer of his has taken some of his property without paying for it. Asking Rhyley and Kileo to recover the property, simple datadisks, Eynol promises that if he gets the disks back, he'll be able to sell them to a collector and have enough credits to recover the Star.
Agreeing, the couple head towards the warehouse of this former customer, only to realise that the building is now actually a New Republic embassy. Not ready to attack such a building, the pair head in where Kileo uses her political weight to meet with the customer, that just so happens to be the New Republic Ambassador, Rey Deston. Listening to Kileo, Rhyley soon gets annoyed with Deston's manner and Dimoh ignoring him. Sulking the Corellian heads off on his own. Wandering the streets, he is soon called on his com-device by Kileo who informs him that she has managed to talk Deston into releasing his ship.
Though still quite grumpy, the Corellian heads quickly back to his ship before he informs everyone he is leaving immediately.
====Independence====
After the quick stop on Telos, the Rogue Star soon arrives at Peregrines Nest where they are instructed to follow a strict flight path to the surface. Heading down and landing at the secret base of Garm Bel Iblis, they are greeted coldly by Irenez who informs the group that she is to search their ship as well as to lead them to a meeting with the distinguished former Rebel General.
After a few cutting remarks, the woman eventually leads the friends deeper into the facility where they wait for a short moment before Bel Iblis finally arrives. Giving details of why the service they have performed is greatly appreciated as well as offering each person a substantial reward Bel Iblis offers the group a proposal; to work for him.
Allowing the friends a few days stay at the hidden base in order to decide whether or not to accept his offer, Kaje and Cayla leave as Garm calls Kileo and Rhyley into a quiet office with which to talk with them in private. Though he treats Rhyley sternly, the former Rebel General listens with interest to Kileo's plans for the future.
Eventually however, Garm turns his attention on Stargazer, where the man is quite critical of his actions, and demanding that Rhyley join his operation or return to the New Republic. Though Rhyley is hesitant to speak out against a man he considers an uncle, Rhyley keeps to his position, and highlights his desire to continue to do good, but from Orupia. Though Garm is still at odds with the decision, he is placated for the time being and spends dinner with the young couple, glad to hear of their engagement.
====Changing Times====
Using their time at the Nest to carry out some Jedi Training, the Corellian with Kileo explore the surfaces before he feels a pull through the force. Following the odd sensations, Rhyley locates a series of vast crystals that grow out like fingers from the ground. Surprised by their blissful aura, he and Kileo train within the valley of crystals, eventually aiding Kileo to construct a new lightsaber, using a crystal she locates at the valley and de-constructing her own protosaber along with the lightsaber of fallen Jedi Travgen. With Bel Iblis still not rushing them to make a decision, the couple make use of their time to quickly travel to Orupia.
Finally 'home' the two are greeted with delight by their friends on the Orupian, Draksin home-world. After talking with Gaven Sel, Rhyley immediately begins his effort to thwart the Imperial spy that Kileo was certain was within the palace. Forcing everyone to leave, Rhyley soon learns that only Ser Moadeeb was not at the palace the time where the security to Kileo's chambers was breached.
Realising he would not be able to be the spy, Rhyley directs his ally to return to the palace, and to bring with him his entire Honour Guard. Soon finding out that the Blood Guard was also in confinement during Kileo's tie on Orupia when Rhyley was held captive by the Sith Ascendancy, Rhyley instigates a security detail made up of Moadeeb's men, the Blood Guard, before enlisting Tomith as a Chevalier of Ser and installing Veeso as Draksyth Lord and Iaqau Head of the Blood Guard. Rhyley is also surprised by the sudden visit of his close friend Jonset who decides to remain with the couple on Orupia.
With the palace as safe as they could manage it, with those they did not trust exiled from returning until Kileo decreed it, Stargazer and Dimoh soon return to Peregrines Nest days later, where they and Kaje and Cayla again reconvene with Garm Bel Iblis and accept his offer of a mission to Ruuria. The mission to Ruuria is fairly self explanatory, an Imperial Admiral that was about to defect was taken to the secret holding prison on the planet. Flying there in Dayvid Midanyl's Banshee, the group would land on the planet's surface, make their way to the prison and free the Imperial Admiral and return to a rendezvous with a Bel Iblis' fleet vessel at the uninhabited Zandrax System.
Boarding The Banshee the group enter hyperspace and head for the remote planet of Ruuria.
====Welcome to the Jungle====
Arriving at Ruuria following a short hyper-space jump, The Banshee exits above the planet with no problems, however no sooner do they arrive are they chased by an Imperial Victory-class Star Destroyer. Forced to make a heated get away onto the planet's surface, Captian Midanyl damages the ship through his quick landing, under the canopy of the Ruurian Jungle. Now having to remain with the ship to carry out repairs, Cayla Dunestrider opts to remain with him for his own protection as Stargazer, Reilloc and Dimoh head into the thick Ruurian Jungle.
As they make their way through the dense jungle, they are beset upon by various natural hazards, Acid Pools, Exploding Pollen Blooms, Razor Trees and Sinkholes. Their trek through the jungles takes hours and is wrought with struggle, their fatigue dipping, they wearily wander into an ambush by Ruurian Scouts. Dealing with the strange alien creatures, they unwittingly drift nearby a Ruurian Village and spotted, by an enigmatic Twi'lek named Beza'rase.
After making contact with the Twi'lek and the Ruurian Chief of the Village, the group of friends learn various snippets of details regarding the Imperial Prison and agree to aid the Ruurians by blowing up the location. Following aiding the sick children that suffer within the village thanks to a disease spread by the Imperial Warmongers, the trio then have to deal with a stray Imperial Scout that locates the village before fleeing into the jungle. Taking after the Imperial Trooper, they stumble across a giant Ruurian Rancor, and have to fight the monstrosity to keep the beast from finding the village.
With the Trooper and Rancor dead, and the children seemingly recovering, the village provides the group with a guide through the Ruurian Jungle to the Imperial Prison, going so far to show a secret entrance to the facility. Leaving the guide, Stargazer, Reilloc and Dimoh head inside the prison. Fighting their way through, they have to battle mutated Ruurians that have been created by the demented Imperial Captain Visicus, before finding former Admiral Soontir Van, and freeing him, killing Visicus in the process of their retreat. Regrouping with Midanyl and the Banshee atop the roof of the Imperial Prison, the friends flee from Ruuria to a rendezvous with Bel Iblis's Fleet at the uninhabited Zandrax System.
Delivering the Admiral into the hands of Bel Iblis's operatives lead by Captain Adi Codru, the group highlight their concern that a 'Sithissin' Shikan was expected to arrive to take the man into custody at Ruuria. Telling Codru to be wary of the Admiral, the group of friends receive their reward and take flight for Orupia.
===Cloak of Deception===
====Infected====
In Pareen, Rhyley's plan of controlling the palace entirely was going as planned however it was becoming clear that though the palatial grounds were now safe, the running of the planet was becoming adversely affected, with Kileo unable to hold meetings with the entirety of her Royal Court. After a brief discussion with Veeso and Pauwe, Kileo decided to undo the work Stargazer had laid at the palace, and recalled all those that had been under suspicion, in the hopes that Pauwe would somehow uncover the spy.
Rhyley was livid, having worked hard to make sure the palace was safe for his lover, to see her undo it on the guidance of others and not him was a bitter pill to swallow. When Kileo unveiled her plan to those still at the palace, he along with Tomith were fiercely opposed to the plan, much to the chagrin of the Orupian Princess. Managing to hold the majority of support amongst those still serving in the palace however meant Kileo would charge on with her new plan.
The change in policies led to various arguments between Kileo and Rhyley in the following days, with Stargazer refusing to yield his point of view so readily as others seemingly had. In truth the Corellian felt a little betrayed that Kileo would change her mind so quickly having been so supportive of her lover as he began his operation to secure the palace, mostly on the directive on helping Kileo to find some ease following their trials on New Alderaan and Carida.
Within days not only would those that were under suspicion back within the walls of the palace, but the Galactic HoloNet was also finally re-established. Now able to keep in contact with the rest of the galaxy, Raedan Kitani soon arrives to surprise the couple at Orupia. Glad to see his brother having not been able to spend any time with him since their ordeal at Endor, the friend spend a few days catching up.
====Ghosts of the Past====
News would soon arrive however that would spring the three into action, with Omega Labs suddenly going silent amidst worrying reports, the trio go to Baline City to investigate. Along the way they are attacked by Orupian Cloudhoppers, piloted by protocol droids. Disposing of the droids, at the city of Baline they are attacked by an assassin. Finally managing to thwart the assassin, they are shocked to find that it too was a protocol droid. Worried as to what has happened at the Laboratories, the trio head to the site where they find the place locked down, and it's latest project, the HP-7 Security Droid missing.
Investigating and uncovering a few survivors of the labs, the trio learn that the new HP-7 droid was actually the reason for the sudden attack. After working out that the new droid was using coding written by Thrumble and Simonelle, Rhyley and Raedan track the latter droid engineer to the nearby world of Ingo. Arriving on the dusty planet, Stargazer, Kitani along with Kaje Reilloc meet the legendary racers Thall Joben and Jord Dusat, now owners of a small speeder shop. Leaving the shop, they finally locate the droid supply store of Simonelle, only to witness the engineer escape town on a speeder thanks to his accomplice Blotto warning him. Returning to Joben and Dusat, the trio try to purchase a speeder, only to find out that the shop has no coolant with which to power the bikes.
Explaining that a local gang, the Fromm Gang have been causing trouble for their store in recent months and have recently stolen all their supplies of coolant, the three friends promise to return the coolant from the thugs in exchange for three speeders of their choosing. Finding the hideout of the gang and quickly overcoming their resistance, the three men return the coolant before they are given any speeder they desire. Having seen a Ducati Corse Racing Air-2-916 Racing Swoop, and learning that Senna Ducati once rode it himself, Rhyley knew what speeder he wanted, and with his and the other men equipped, the trio make off after Simonelle.
Tracking the engineer to another foundry, the trio leave their newly acquired vehicles and head inside, quickly locating the escaping engineer and kidnapping him by force. With Simonelle admitting that it was part of his own code, and was a protocol system once used in the dreaded Guri assassin droid, with fears that the Black Sun is somehow trying to gain some form of control on Orupiia, the trio make the engineer return with them back to Orupia, before Rhyley also offers Joben and Dusat a chance to open a new store on his new home planet. Agreeing to the idea, Rhyley returns not only with a new bike, and the engineer that might be behind the code within the HP-7 Droid, but also the prospect of a new business venture for Orupia.
====Killer Droids...Again?====
Back at Pareen, Simonelle uses the supplies of droids to rebuild the basic protocol assassin bot that had once tried to assassinate Kileo. Making sure that it was no threat to anyone, they release the droid in The Wastes before they begin to track the droid, surprised to see that it does seem to head off in search of something. Following the droid from afar, they watch as the droid makes it's way into a cave hidden with the valleys of Cerafe.
Following it inside they find the droid and dozens of others busily building within the rock cave, a factory, looking as if they were trying to recreate a droid foundry. Shutting the place down immediately and quelling the droid army, Kitani locates a signal from another location on Isiania, and he, with Rhyley, Kaje and Princess Kileo head off to the other location.
Tracking the signal to a bunker, they slip inside before they are met with fierce opposition of Orupian and Draksins. Overcoming the resistance, they locate the HP-7 Droid deep within the bunker coordinating droids that it had infected across Orupia. After witnessing a woman commit suicide and scream out Long Live Valois, the group finally realise that the Omega Labs had been sabotaged by Valois Loyalists, a rising group of terrorists on Orupia.
====Unexplored====
 
Reviewing the position of Orupia within the Sega System and the increasing concern of such an operation by Terrorists that are loyal to the former regime of House Valois, Princess Kileo installs Pauwe in charge of a new Orupian Intelligence Division before she and Rhyley along with the handmaidens, head to the nearby world of Scion.
Landing on the neighbour planet, Rhyley remains close to Kileo as they explore Scion City, hoping to get a feel for the locals and find out who was in charge of the venerable mining operation for the planet. With Kileo finding a few stalls at a market, the Orupian Princess begins shopping however soon feels as if she was being watched. With Issika realising the person watching the Princess was a threat, Rhyley takes Kileo and directs Jiani and Yilana into finding a safe place off the streets.
Taking refuge in the back of small shop, they wait till Issika returns, indicating the man had gotten away but had dropped his jacket in the process. Deciding to learn who this man was, that seemed such a threat, they use a small receipt from a cleaners and Emfive in the Rogue Star to begin tracking the man.
At the cleaners they meet with an elderly Orupia, all too keen to help the Princess and the Crown Prince. Aiding the couple in learning that the owner of the jacket and receipt belonged to one of his regular customers, the man even supplies a contact address for the mysterious figure. Heading off at haste, Emfive also manages to track the figure to a mining operation just on the outskirts of the city.
Deciding to head inside, Jiani and Issika work together to distract the security of the mines as Rhyley and Princess Kileo sneak inside. Learning that the mining operation is a front for a group of Valois Terrorists, the group soon find out that the terrorists have an underground operation hidden within New Baya. Returning to Orupia, they direct Pauwe to investigate the location but learnt hat the terrorists are long gone, their operation at New Baya having been abandoned.
====Secret Meetings====
Worried about the safety of his lover within Pareen given the surfacing of new threats, and still annoyed that his decisions for her safety had been overturned by the Princess herself, Rhyley enlists the aids of his brothers to help him protect Kileo as he sees fit. Deciding that their operations must be kept out of the light and away from the eyes of those with the Royal Court, the Corellian along with Jonset and Raedan Kitani form what is eventually known as VOZHOUND.
Constantly meeting with two in secret, the three Corellian plan their secret organisation within the palace itself, and begin to lay the foundations for what would serve as the secret policing of the Royal Court. With his arrival of his mother and sister, along with the plans for the wedding in full swing, the Corellian bides his time and places more faith in Raedan and Jonset to undertake the operation without his directives.
===Corellian Affairs===
====One Big Happy Family====
The arrival of his mother however did bring with it an alarming amount of grief for both Rhyley and Kileo, with the elder female never really happy with anything the royal couple were deciding. Feeling the only way to get his mother to not be so critical, Rhyley sought to finally bring his triplets, and possibly his grandparents to Orupia, to help lighten Tessia's mood. Using the clues laid for them by his grandfather Gern Stargazer and close friend Tekk Larr, the Corelli, along with his bride-to-be and Raedan Kitani, head for Ord Mantell.
Locating the triplets and the old Corellians at a small outpost in the plains of Ord Mantell, Rhyley and Kileo along with Raedan and Tekk spend time at the unassuming Stargazer abode catching up with Gern and Annuil, whilst finally being reunited with the triplets in well over a year. Surprised just how big they have gotten, Rhyley finds it reassuring at their progress even if he had been absent for a long time. With his grandmother revealing her intentions to re-open S.S.I, possibly at Orupia, Gern decides to show his grandson and his companions around the local market.
Unfortunately unbeknown to the group however, the Stargazer triplets had also been tracked to the small home by the assassin droid IG-88. Whilst with his grandafther, Rhyley senses a disturbance through the force, given to him by his acute connection to his children. Outside trying to reach out for the source of the disturbance, the Corellian hears blaster fire and fears the worst. Rushing back, just in time to see the droid pull away on a speeder, Rhyley rushes in to find his beloved droid fried, and his grandmother on the floor wounded. With what little strength she has, she tells Rhyley that the droid had taken Micah.
Aiding his wounded grandmother onto the Rogue Star so that his medical droid could stablisie her condition, Rhyley recieves word that though Kileo and Raedan were able to rescue Micah, the assassin droid was able to escape. With Tekk at his side, Rhyley piloted his grandfather's vessel the Rapscallion Flyer, in pursuit of the assassin droid. Engaging the droid's vessel in high orbit, Staragzer and Larr were able to destroy the droid before it escaped to hyperspace. Rejoining the Star, they made their way to the nearby world of Endor, hoping that Ann would be given the best treatment the New Republic had to offer.
On the homeworld of the Ewoks, Ann immediately went into surgery. With news that her condition was stable and she was returning to good health, Rhyley, Tekk, Princess Kileo, Raedan, along with Micah, Allya, Bai and Yoshi Kitani left the Republic base and spent time in the forests picnicking and visiting a nearby Ewok village. Eventually once Ann was well enough to travel, they all returned to Orupia, where Ann's arrival immediately brought more attention from Tessia, although much to the relief of Rhyley, meant his mother would be (for now) off of his and Kileo's case.
====Mysteries====
Having decided to return to Talus to reclaim the last of their possessions from the planet, Rhyley along with Princess Kileo joined by Raedan and Kaje head to the core world. As they arrive they see for themselves the destruction and devastation that has engulfed the planet following the severe bombardment. Making their way to Kystes, they see the town and former home ripped to pieces, with wreckages of fallen ships and the debris of crumbling buildings laid to waste across the town.
Aiding Kaje return to RTC, they have to overcome a series of obstacles before they can enter the building before seeing just as much devastation inside as outside. With Kaje seeing a former employee lay dead in the main office, Rhyley remains as close as Reilloc needs whilst he investigates the going ons of his company. Learning that CSA had closed down his accounts, and that various staff and transports had gone missing, they are soon greeted by local police officer Teygan Kohat, who asks the friends to join her in the police station.
Giving an insight into what has happened in the city since the four had left shortly before the Battle of Endor, the Zabrak female decides to play back some footage clips from town security cameras of a woman named Ana that arrived just after the bombardment and befriended a few survivors before rampaging on a murderous assault through the city. Teygan was one of the lucky few to escape, and had only recently returned to the city wastes.
Deciding there might be a relationship between what happened to Talus, the city and it's survivors as well as RTC, Rhyley offers passage to Teygan and the other survivors to a safe destination in the exchange of the footage and any information on 'Ana'. Whilst they agree, another ship arrives, full of scavengers. Quelling the newest arrivals and slaying their leader Tolkin during the battle, Stargazer and his companions rescue the last remaining survivors from Kystes, and heads to Sullust, only for Princess Kileo to instead offer Teygan and her friends haven at Orupia.
The Zabrak and survivors accept.
====Arrest====
No sooner had the group returned to Orupia had a CorSec Fleet arrived requesting a meeting with Princess Kileo. Deciding to at least greet the Envoy, Kileo and Rhyley staged a welcome of sorts for the Corellian officials, led by Denjax Teppler. Meeting with Teppler, the Corellian Evnoy indicates Corellia's willingness to trade with Orupia, and build bridges of friendships on the proviso of Orupia handing over Rhyley to stand trial for crimes against Corellia.
Refusing to hand her lover over, Teppler indicates that he'll be forced to initiate a planetary blockade of Orupia if Stargazer isn't delivered within a few days. Returning to the CorSec Fleet, Rhyley offers a possible way out. Hoping to force the Corellians into owing Princess Kileo and Orupia for their lives, as well as increasing the deadline for which Kileo was to hand Rhyley over. Deciding to go along with his plan, Kileo calls Teppler back to the palace for a more quiet converse.
Rhyley disguised as a CorSec Imperial TIE Pilot meanwhile with the aid of Tekk, Raedan and Jonset, manage to trick Rikeekh Norssohn into returning to his starfighter during negotiations between the Princess and the Envoy. Attacking him, Rhyley assumes his place in the meeting with Raedan hiding out onboard the TIE Fighter. Eventually Kileo brings negotiations to an end, and Rhyley still disguised as the TIE pilot pilots the TIE Fighter in escort of the CorSec Corvette, with Kitani still hidden onboard.
Feigning an error on the TIE Fighter, Rhyley docks the fighter with the modified Corvette so the engineers can carry out repairs. Whilst onboard the Corvette, Rhyley runs into Esa Parna as Raedan makes his way secretly to the engines of the Corvette. As he triggers an overload of the ship's vast engines, Rhyley and Raedan return to the TIE Fighter, however not before several explosions erupt on the Corvette. With their ship thrashed against the hull of the CorSec Vessel, the TIE Fighter crippled is sent spiralling out of control towards Orupia. 
Venting oxygen, Rhyley places his own pilot's helmet on Raedan, the cyborg having been knocked out by the explosions. Barely able to keep himself awake having to fly without the use of oxygen, the Corellian pilot manages to get the ship back into the Orupian atmosphere before he passes out at the controls. The lone starfighter crashes into the ground, with Rhyley himself slipping into a coma because of various injuries. He wakes hours later, with the aid of Kileo who gently coaxed his conscious out of hibernation, though the Corellian suffers temporary acute memory loss.
In the days following, the majority of CorSec personnel that had been onboard the ship had been rounded up in a refugee camp on Orupia, and shown the greatest of hospitality that the Orupian people could offer. With Envoy Teppler moved by what he had witnessed, Rhyley's almost fatal plan was beginning to take shape.
====Hypocrites and Lies====
It is during this time that Rhyley receives a call from Raedan to ask the Corellian to recover him from ParSec HQ in Pareen having been arrested in the early hours of the morning. Clearly embarrassed with the affair, Rhyley and Kileo head to the HQ to recover the cyborg. However along the way back to the palace, Kitani admits to having slept with an Orupian female during his night of reckless escapades with Jonset. Furious that his brother would admit to such in such a off-hand manner and dare to cheat on Erisey who he saw as a sister, Rhyley forces the cyborg to walk the rest of the way home. The journey back home was quiet, and even in the palace, Rhyley's mood was sour. He and Kileo quickly got into an argument about Raedan's antics.
After a few hours Raedan eventually arrives at the palace and manages to find Rhyley and Kileo. After sitting down and explaining what he was feeling, his insecurities about his relationship with Erisey and Yoshi along with his want to leave the New Republic coupled with his almost killing Rikeekh, Rhyley sees the man heading for disaster and begins to feel sorry for him, however that concern is quickly replaced with rage when Raedan goes further to imply he was only sent to Orupia to spy on the Princess and former Commander. Rhyley leaves without saying much of anything else.
Having found out from Kitani that Rikeekh was being kept tied up on the cyborg's Nova Courier Ray of Hope, Rhyley flies the ship and hands the brother of Bai'yle Norssohn over to Ser Tomith at Almousiqi. With Rikeekh placed in holding, Rhyley informs Tomith to keep the CorSec Imperial out of sight indefinitely, unless told to do otherwise by Stargazer. Back at Pareen, Princess Kileo decides to invite the Envoy and his party to the palace for dinner. As the CorSec officials arrive, Rhyley spends much of the night, in converse and flirting with Vitala Baize, catching the female CorSec Captain off-guard with his charm and wit.
With the Corellian female finding Stargazer more than likeable, and feeling at conflict with her orders as well as Kileo beginning to hold more influence with Envoy Teppler, the dangerous political plan the royal couple play begins to come full circle. The next day, again Kileo arranges to meet with Envoy Teppler and Captain Baize, however this time on her own. Rhyley meanwhile decides to spend time with Raedan and their children, taking them to the private section of the Pareen Beach. Still livid at his brother for not telling him sooner, the Corellian makes it known what he expects of Kitani, going so far to indicate he'll get him out of the New Republic military, and that Raedan would still be welcome at Orupia.
Whilst the men talk on the beach with their children playing not far away, Kileo uses the family moment to her advantage and guides Teppler and Baize to the beach to witness the moment. With Teppler witnessing the children playing with their father, he requests an immediate meeting with the Princess and Rhyley, whereby he promises to not arrest Stargazer, and go so far as to try to have him pardoned. Elated at the news, Rhyley and his lover join Teppler and Baize at the Corellian refugee camps, overseeing the continuing efforts of the Orupian and Draksin people in aiding the stranded Corelli.
It is whilst he is there that he again meets Esa Parna and during converse with the Corellian female, Esa shows Rhyley a picture of her son. Looking on the face of the child, Rhyley is reminded of Bai'yle, before Parna admits that her son, is the offspring of his dead friend.
====Conflicted====
Clearly conflicted by what he has learned, Rhyley uses the training of the Blood Guard to vent his frustrations. Asking Kitani to join him, he directs the Draksyth and Bloods, to the Blood Arena within the palace. With Raedan to witness the barbaric training duels for himself, Rhyley assigns Rae to duel with Feyd. After the duel, at which point Kileo surfaces, the two worry about Rhyley's obvious foul mood as the Corellian then engages with a blood duel with Veeso and Iaqau. The duel is brutal, vicious and savage with Rhyley forcing the two to submit with all three men sustaining severe wounds. Though it takes a physical toll on his body, it soothes his anger for now.
Deciding that was the best moment to take Kitani back to Endor to help the cyborg tender his resignation, Rhyley, Kileo, Raedan and Yoshi leave Orupia and head for the New Republic capital. During the flight the Corelli is distant, quiet and brimming with frustration as he tries to deal with the implications of Esa's child. Fearing that Rhyley himself was really the cause of his best friend's downfall, Rhyley frustration soon leads to a mire of anger at himself. Arriving at Endor again his again almost takes over when dealing with the New Republic space control.
Informed that the Star Destroyer Emancipator was in orbit at Borleais, Emfive leads the ship to the nearby core world as Rhyley remains in solitude. Eventually he tries to reach out for Kileo however his bubbling heated emotions end up in his anger getting the better of him, with his fury misdirected at Kileo resulting in a heated argument. Unable to cool her lover down an uneasy atmosphere descend on the ship as they arrive at Borleias. Guided to the Star Destroyer, Rhyley meets with his father and with Raedan and Kileo alongside him, argues for Raedan's release from his military servitude, angering his father in the process.
Following a brief talk with Corran, Rhyley finally decides to take matters into his own hands and find out if the child Esa referred to was actually Bai'yle's son. Using Raedan's pass on the Star Destroyer, Rhyley manages to get into the New Republic Fleet Intelligence Section on the capital ship, and use it's databases to find details on Esa and son, Jace Parna-Norssohn. Though his actions brings unwanted attention from Iella Wessiri, the details give Rhyley the next bit of impetus to push on and find out the truth. Heading to Corellia, he is joined on the Rogue Star by a concerned Kileo and Raedan, who he apologises to for being so distant. Though both try to comfort the Corelli, neither manage to break his barriers down and have him open up.
After informing the pair he was going to infiltrate the CorSec Headquarters at One CorSec Plaza in Coronet, the Corellian disguises himself as a CorSec Officer and following landing at Kor Vella heads to the capital. Sneaking into the HQ, he finds the civilian database and learns the truth behind the birth of Jace, before being discovered by an Imperial Stormtrooper. Using the force to over come the Trooper, Rhyley then disguises himself as the Imperial, using his armour before he leaves the HQ and the city on foot heading to Doaba Guerfel.
Arriving at the northern city, he hears about the troubles Raedan and Kileo had with mutated energy spiders before the group board the Star and return to the fleet at Borleias. During the flight, Rhyley finally confesses to Kileo, what had made him so distant - the son of his beloved brother, Bai'yle Norssohn.
==Jedi Prince (9 ABY - Present Day)==
===Lost Tribe of the Syth===
====The Pirates of Corsairs====
With the increasing occurrence of pirate attacks along the Arcadia Trade Lanes being reported, especially within the Sega System, Rhyley along with Jonset decide to tackle the pirates together. Stargazer piloting his newly purchased X-Wing Royal Rascal, accompanied by his Zabrak brother flying his own A-Wing Goldenwing, the two Corellians ventured up and began patrolling the Orupian trading routes. It isn't long however before the begin to find evidence of recent pirate attacks along the shipping lanes, and utilising the droid Emfive, the men manage to trace a particular group of pirates to an distant sector of the Orupian Asteroid Belt.
Upon arrival, the two pilots are easily outnumbered five to one, however their ships clearly outmatch those used by pirate who were utilising Z-95 Headhunters. Deciding to engage the pirates there and then, Stargzaer and Jonset quickly begin to quell the pirate group before their reinforcements could arrive to aid the beleaguered Corsairs and although the battle is fierce, it is over relatively quickly with two of the pirates managing to escape the assault of the two Corellians. It is whilst they are in the sector that Jonset notices a high level of Phrik.
Returning to Orupia, the two men exhausted from their endeavours, retreat to their apartments. Rhyley spends the majority of the day resting at home before he is joined by Kileo and Jiani where the three spend the early evening talking about their hopes for the future and the trials of the present.
Having rested from the battle with the Corsairs, the attack of the two Corellian men against the pirate group causing some relative stability to the trading lanes, Rhyley again focuses on providing assistance to the Blood Guard and the burgeoning Royal Wing by running training programs with Veeso for the newly recruited Blood Guards, and later instructing the new pilots of the Royal Wing. It is also during this time that Rhyley manages to talk Gaven Sel into allowing Kileo more personal time, alone and more importantly outside of her official duties.
====The Curse of Witches Island====
Taking use of such a day allocated as free time for the Orupian Princess, he pilots his ship to Ustu, the main isle of the Ustolian Islands, with Kileo and accompanied by the ever present Jiani, in the hope of spending some time relaxing in the sun on the beaches. When they arrive, landing at the port of Rakonia and having never travelled to the tourist spot previously, they are surprised to find how busy the place is, mostly surrounded by the Orupian aristocrats of New Baya along with the mauve skinned locals. Finding their way through the crowds and drawing some attention, the trio manage to locate a quiet beach where they spend time relaxing.
With their cares forgotten for the most part and with Emfive providing scans on the local area, the three friends enjoy the sun before swimming in the water where they are abruptly interrupted by an old woman. Announcing herself as Alma, the Syga Sage talks sharply, referring to Kileo as 'barren' before she begin to wander off. Kileo hurt by the words tries to confront the old hag, much to the frustrations of Rhyley and Jiani who merely assume the old woman is crazy. After listening to what the old woman has to say Rhyley and Jiani eventually convince Kileo to leave the islands and head back to Rakonia. Upon their arrival they find that the starport is under attack by Vynocks, the disgusting creatures having caused damage not only to the local building but also his beloved Rogue Star. Once they help drive the creatures off, they realise they will be forced to spend the night at the islands. Kileo and Jiani head off to find a hotel room as Rhyley updates the palace as to their circumstances and begins initial repairs to the Rogue Star.
Completing the initial repairs to his ship, Rhyley heads to the hotel where Jiani informs him that Kileo has suddenly gone missing. After meeting with the Maiden, the Blue Skinned woman manages to talk him into allowing Kileo some space. When Kileo finally arrives she is distant, informing the pair that she had gone off to find the mysterious Alma, she tells Rhyley that she fully believes her words about her inability to conceive a child. Frustrated Rhyley tells her that the old woman is merely trying to cause trouble for the princess and is using Kileo's insecurity to her advantage. Unable to get Kileo to see sense, Rhyley wanders away from the Nubian Princess, only to eventually confide his anger and frustration with Jiani. Eventually Kileo comes to find the pair again, this time informing them that she has had a vision of the future where she has a son and a daughter and that Alma is the key to making this happen. Again Rhyley tries desperately to talk her out of what he sees as a hysteria before Kileo again charges off. This time he is reluctant to follow her and spends the night in the hotel with Jiani.
He wakes early in the morning, still with Kileo not having returned. Deciding to go have a shower in an effort to cool off, the Corellian doesn't realise when Kileo and Alma quietly return. As he finishes his shower he heads back towards his bed only to be confronted by Kileo. As he talks to the woman he finds he words suddenly becoming trully compelling, that Alma is the key to their future. More attentive of his Princess and somehow listening to her words when before he wouldn't, he notices a woman in the shadows chanting. Though he questions her presence, Kileo announces her as Alma and again manages to convince him to listen to her. As Kileo kisses him, he is overwhelmed by the Princess's elegance and beauty as he quietly slips into a trance cast by Kileo and the wild woman, Alma.
The Corellian eventually wakes in the morning, his mind thick with a misty fog that clouds every thought about the previous night. After a shower he again comes face to face with Kileo and Alma, and finds the presence of the new female strangely odd. Again Kileo talks to him, compelling him to listen telling him that Alma helped to heal Kileo last night, and that during the healing he passed out. Now waking with Kileo having been tattooed and he along with Jiani also forming marks on their backs, Rhyley again is somehow placated by Kileo as he accepts Alma as one of the Princess's new handmaidens. He, Kileo, Alma and Jiani eventually head back to Pareen.
====The Hidden Past====
Upon his return to Orupia, Rhyley remains plagued with the notion that something is wrong with what is happening. Unable to remember much about the night before the Corellian keeps his distance from everyone, speaking quietly with Tekk Larr and later Iaqau with regards to Veeso's concern regarding the sudden arrival of Alma before the Corelli hides himself within the den of the royal apartment. Retrieving an old music box that was in a soft toy of his when he was a child, Stargazer meditates upon a Corellian nerf-rug listening to the music as he enters a deep meditation. 
Using the force to try and unclog his memories, Stargazer is interrupted by Kileo who asks him to join her in welcoming the newly recruited Handmaidens Darwi and Nazara to their new home. Rhyley reluctantly agrees, joining his lover as the new maidens assemble, Kileo's personal guard increasing from three to six. Spending time with the women, the Corellian eventually excuses himself in order to return to his meditation. Again using the rug and music box to help him concentrate, the Jedi begins to sense just exactly what is wrong with the previous night before he is again interrupted, this time by Jiani.
Sending the Handmaiden away, he tries for a third time to return to his meditation until he is interrupted this time by Jiani along with the other five handmaidens. Forced by the women to return with them to Kileo, he acts coolly towards the Princess who begins to speak with conviction about his worry and swiftly compels him to listen to her words. Just as she had done so in the morning and the night before, the Princess somehow subdues and calms the Corellian to think that nothing is wrong before she begins to kiss him. The night quickly shifts, falling into a passionate night as the Prince and Princess make love.
The next morning Rhyley wakes early, again with the same worrisome nagging that seems to plague his thoughts. Knowing that the force is trying to tell him something, he heads downstairs for a drink, only to witness Kileo alone with Alma. The sight of the two women sends an immediate alarm bell ringing in his mind, and the Corellian quickly leaves the apartment, pretending that all is fine as he goes for his morning run as he normally would. Away from Kileo, Alma and the other Handmaidens, Rhyley immediately begins to try and listen to his most inner instincts, fearing something is happening that can only spell trouble for he and his family.
Calling Jonset and asking him to hide in the palace and keep an eye on things as well as to keep his distance from everyone, the Corellian Jedi decides to get his sons and daughter away from the Palace, as Samuun delivers the children to him at the Rogue Star. After playing down his sister's worry, Rhyley along with Micah, Allya and Bai leave the palace, the pilot masking his ship's signal in an effort to stop anyone tracking him and entering hyperspace as they flee Orupia.
====The Changing of the Guard====
Leaving the Sega System, the Corellian Jedi Pilot places his ship en-route with Peregrine's Nest, the fortified location led by his trusted uncle, Garm Bel Iblis. On the flight he spends as much time with his children as he can, knowing that this could be the last he sees them, the four spend time drawing, colouring and watching Morph-Bots. Arriving at the Nest, his ship is immediately identified and hailed by Bel Iblis' Fleet, and the Corellian is directed down to the secret base. After conversing with his uncle, Rhyley tells Garm about his worries regarding Orupia, giving him indication of his feelings and what he believes the Force is telling him. Though the old General doesn't quite understand, his belief in the Jedi is enough for him to convince Rhyley that he must do what he must. Agreeing to protect the children for as long as it takes, Rhyley bids farewell to Bel Iblis and his sons and daughter before he departs.
During the flight back to the Sega System Rhyley spends his time meditating yet is again unable to calm his thoughts well enough to unlock his hazy memory. With nothing on-board his vessel that would aid his endeavour to unfog his thoughts like the music box and rug he used in the den of the Royal Apartment, the Corellian instead focuses on trusting his instincts as he arrives back above Orupia. After spending time listening in on the Royal Communications, the man feeling as though he is being backed into a corner with no allies to turn to, decides to head for Scion, refusing to reach out for Kileo just yet. Arriving at Scion City, Stargazer begins to walk the streets, hoping that the force would somehow guide him, before he is suddenly, viciously assaulted and dragged off to a cellar.
Recognising one of the attackers as Dante Vakarian, the Corellian is questioned as to his reason for being at the city. Assuming that he has stumbled upon some form of Anti-Ceylon resistance, the Corellian remains vague before he recognises Rayna Vakarian coming to observe her cousin and his 'prize'. It is then that it begins to dawn on Stargazer as to why the Force guided him here, before he is again brutally beaten by Dante and his accomplice. Eventually Kagin Vakarian appears to question the Corellian as the Jedi had expected. Though physically weak, Stargazer uses the Force to help break free, disarming four of Vakarian's men, and holding a blade to the throat of Rayna, the daughter of Kagin. It is then that Rhyley tries to show his true purpose, discarding the blade and allowing the woman to flee from his grip, Stargazer asks that Vakarian only listen to his offer.
The Corelli Jedi then asks Kagin to return to Orupia with him, not as a criminal or a traitor but as a loyalist of Orupia and more importantly an ally of Stargazer's. Kagin initially rebukes the idea, insisting that as soon as he is back on Orupia, Rhyley will have him arrested and executed, however Stargazer manages to convince the Orupian warrior of his honour and intentions. Asking the former Dragon Claw Commander to be his Royal Guard, and placing upon Kagin full rank and title with royal seal of approval, promising to do the same for any of his allies that decide to join him, Vakarian wavers, before Rhyley finally demands that Kagin's duty as a Dragon Claw above all is to protect Orupia, and that right now, when Orupia is at its most fragile it needs its Dragons.
Surprised and a little impressed by the man he considered an enemy, Kagin seeing a chance of redemption and a way to finally return to his home-world, accepts the Jedi's offer. His allies joining them, Stargazer and his new royal guard or as he quickly decorated them, his Dragon Guard, returned to the Rogue Star before leaving the cold planet and arriving back at Orupia. It is then that Rhyley decides to steal armour and weapons from HMWA and Omega Labs, before he and his new guards finally head back to the palace.
====The Prince's Betrayal====
===The Lost Jedi===
<WIP>
== Relationships ==
===Family Bonds===
Rhyley's family is the most important thing to him. Surrounded by loving supportive parents, siblings and oath brothers, Rhyley has grown into the man he is thanks solely to those that loved him from the moment he was their son, grandson, brother or father.
====Kileo Stargazer====
Kileo Stargazer née Dimoh was looking for work when Rhyley needed a communications expert on an impending mission. Hiring the Nubian, her ability in communications won her a permanent contract and following her aid in the rescue of Cravon Wolfgang the young woman was subsequently added to the Wraids Intelligence Network.
In the months that came, Kileo had become integral to both DSE and OSF, and following the sudden disappearance of Atyphe, a very important friend to Rhyley Stargazer. With his feelings for her becoming confused, Rhyley tried to distance himself from the woman; worried that felt more for her than he should. When she had become coupled with Quazaq Jappy, Rhyley grew jealous and suffered recurring dreams regarding of the former-Wraid Member betraying him.
Yet following their continued endeavours together, from Zaq's disappearance, the bombardment of Keren, the break-up of his short-lived marriage to Atyphe Vrydella, and Kileo's romance with former-Imperial Sava Stary, Rhyley has continued to struggle with his affections with Kileo, a fact that he tried to hide from everyone, though Bai'yle and Raedan both suspected Rhyley clearly had some sort of affection for the young woman.
Since her and Stary's adoption into the Rebel Alliance and initial placement with Stargazer's Commandos, Rhyley had done his best to keep their relationship as near to professional as he could manage however often fell back to being himself and when the two were alone, constantly dropped his guard and displayed his affections without realising it.
Over time due to his growing friendship with Sava Stary, following advice given by Bai'yle Norssohn and his early relationship with Cayla Dunestrider, Rhyley decided he would never tell Kileo of his true feelings for her or mention it to anyone else. Since suffering the loss of his bond to Aniwevei however, the harrowing nightmares that haunted him regarding Kileo had come back and begun to grow worse.
Openly avoiding her, their friendship became estranged. His time spent away from the unit seemed to increase their loss of friendship, though Rhyley would not admit to himself just what he felt for the woman. Returning from Orupia, seeing her in tears and so distraught regarding her brother, having known for some time that her brother was also on Orupia at the same time as he was, Rhyley began to try and confide in Kileo his concerns.
Eventually the two would reconcile their differences and again became close friends until the two kissed. From that moment on Rhyley only ever had eyes for Kileo, and so began an illicit affair that was kept secret for as long as they could manage. The two would become engaged on a trip to Naboo, before the couple tried to find a cure for Rhyley's wound that would lead to Yavin IV and eventually Orupia.
Whilst on Orupia, the couple, very much in love would find out about Kileo's heritage on the planet, being the descendant of a former Royal Family. She with Rhyley at her side led an uprising of the Draksin people against the ruling Orupian Royals, in a Civil War that gripped the planet. Though victorious her life was drastically changed when she was crowned as Princess of Orupia.
During the time, Rhyley's own condition got worse, and the Corellian quickly fell to the Dark Side. Kileo however continued to love him unconditionally, even though she saw what he was becoming and did her best to keep Rhyley from losing himself. When they were trapped on New Alderaan, Rhyley only survived the ordeal thanks to Kileo's belief in him.
It would eventually be Kileo that would cure him, surprisingly with Sith Blood Magic. The two had by then managed to leave New Alderaan and had announced their engagement to Rhyley's family and friends. Having settled properly on Orupia, their relationship would be pushed to its limit upon the arrival of the Syga, Alma, who soon became heavily influential on Kileo.
Kileo's new direction saw Rhyley cut himself off from the female until he could find a way to resolve Alma's influence on the Princess. Though this eventually saw the Corellian draw his weapon against Alma, Rhyley stayed true to his feelings for Kileo, no matter how conflicted he became. After killing Alma and ending her dark influence on Kileo, the pair consoled each other as best they could before they wedded in 9 ABY.
Rhyley adores Kileo, she is the love of his life and though her being seems to haunt him, and life as a Princess's husband and not Commander is difficult to sometimes adjust to, the Corellian male would willingly do anything for her without hesitation and never wants to be away from her side.
====Micah, Allya & Bai Stargazer====
Rhyley's children have quickly become the most important thing in his life. Born in 7 ABY, he spends as much time with the three children as he can possibly manage. Each named after someone important to either their mother or father; Rhyley already has high aspirations for each of his children.
Though estranged from the mother, Rhyley tries not to let their worsening relationship reflect at all on the young Stargazer children, preferring to even hide his concerns regarding Cayla's mothering from nearly all, and dares not to fight in front of his children. Rhyley is quite critical however of Cayla, and to an extent, even more protective over his children.
When he was caught on New Alderaan when the planet came under a devastating attack, he was trapped on the planet for over a year, and though missed the children every day, was happy in the knowledge that in the care of his grandparents there would be no safer place for them whilst he was gone. When he finally escaped the planet, he returned to the children as soon as he could.
In the months after, with Cayla remaining more distant, Kileo asked if Rhyley would allow her to adopt the children as her own, Rhyley was happy to accept if given the blessing of the Orupian Royal Court. After addressing the court, those gathered were unanimous in their support of Kileo adopting the children, however a stipulation was placed upon the arrangement in that should Kileo have any children of her own, then they would be placed as the heir to the Orupian throne.
Kileo officially adopted the triplets weeks later.
====Tessia Wynonyms====
Rhyley's mother has always been there from him. She had a difficult start as a mother, having been beaten by her brutal first husband, the courage she had in leaving the monster of a man that was also Rhyley's biological father would prove defining in not only her but also Rhyley's life. She finally put her life together and later remarried Taei Wynonyms.
Tessia has since found herself as an Officer's wife, never far from her husband’s side and even staying with him whilst he remains in the Rebel Fleet, signing on as a cook with the Volunteer Force. Though life is difficult and not what she expected, she never complains in public however has voiced her worries to her mother.
When Rhyley went missing on New Alderaan, Tessia believed in what her mother informed her regarding the truth of Rhyley's disappearance, and like everyone else, refused to believe that Rhyley was dead. She did however become increasingly critical of her son having learned that he was spending more time with Kileo than Cayla in the days before the tragedy at New Alderaan.
Rhyley eventually resurfaced over a year later, again with Kileo at his side, she was both elated that he was safe though was angry towards her son given his antics following the Battle of Endor. When Rhyley announced his intention to marry Kileo, Tessia refused to allow him. It took many hours of talking for Rhyley to finally get his mother to see his point of view. Though she has since given the couple her blessing, Tessia remains quite critical of Rhyley and suspicious of Kileo.
Rhyley blames himself for the suffering of his mother when he was born, thinking that if she weren’t pregnant with him, then she would never have married his biological father. It is part of this guilt that Rhyley carries which causes him to break when he sees a woman in pain. Tessia's compassion is clearly seen in Rhyley and his actions.
====Taei Wynonyms====
To Rhyley, he has only ever had one Dad, Taei Wynonyms. Entering his life when he was only a toddler, Taei Wynonyms would be the man Rhyley would strive to be. Always listening to his guidance, even his rebellious streak as a teenager was partly because of Rhyley's want to see his dad be the man he knew. Dependent and courageous, Taei's capture by Imperial Forces left a grave wound on the young Stargazer.
Since being freed by Rhyley and Atyphe Vrydella from the Empire, Taei Wynonyms would quickly find a place within the Rebel Alliance, enlisted and given rank as Major by General Crix Madine who personally recruited Taei Wynonyms as part of the Spec Ops Command Team, his intelligence and strategic knowledge being highly sought after. For a time he was stationed on Home One, Admiral Ackbar's personal flagship before seeing actual combat at the Battle of Endor. In the aftermath of the battle, Taei was then decorated as an Admiral, and placed in command of the Grey Fleet.
Taei is often the voice of reason in the Wynonyms household, knowing when to influence his boisterous wife or his adventurous children. He knew about Cayla's pregnancy before any in his family, including Rhyley, and kept the secret of the pregnancy for as long as Cayla wished. Wynonyms offered her as much support as he could and made certain that she was well looked after. When Rhyley announced his intention to marry Kileo, Taei was conflicted having hoped that for Cayla's sake his son would do the honourable thing as she had however at the same time that having always admired Kileo, elated that his son would be marrying her.
As Rhyley has grown and matured, he often displays similar characteristics to that of his father, his forward thinking and concerned nature inherited through the bond they share.
====Samuun Wynonyms====
If there is anyone that Rhyley is absolutely protective of, then it is his younger sister, Samuun. Born not long after Tessia and Taei married, Rhyley learned quickly what it meant to be a big brother. Always watching out for her when he could, Rhyley would often spoil his sister and put her ahead of himself whenever he could.
Following the loss of Taei Wynonyms and An-Taei Wynonyms, Samuun lived with her grandparents on Chandrila and trained as a teacher, however the reunion of their family on New Plympto quickly changed Samuun’s life. She now lives with her father and mother in the Rebel Fleet, and worked as a Tutor and Nurse to the hundreds of orphaned children of Rebel Operatives on the Medical Frigate, Unity. She personally tutored Yoshi Kitani during his stay with the Fleet, and later served with the Volunteer Force on the Emancipator.
She often visits the Stargazer triplets at any opportunity and puts the children of her brother and his friends above that of her own life, barely spending much time socialising or engaging those that aren't under the age of ten; though she never complains.
Rhyley always sees his sister in other people, and believes there isn't one bad bone in his sibling. He is fiercely protective of her, and even warned his trusted friends to never go near her in hope of romance.
====An-Taei Wynonyms====
Rhyley and An-Taei weren’t the closest of brothers. The age gap not tremendous though there were obvious differences in their characters and with Rhyley often doting on his sister more than his brother, the two would sometimes quarrel. However Rhyley is still protective of his brother and would often take him camping with his friends.
Rhyley fears that his brother's innocence was lost because of what happened to him at the hands of the Empire and has difficulties not seeing An-Taei as a child rather than the young man he now is, though the bravery shown by An-Taei during the Battle of Endor impressed Rhyley immensely.
Though they still rarely see much of each other, a new sense of kinship has grown between the two.
====Annuil Stargazer====
Nan to Rhyley is his rock. The head of their family, the woman is never caught ill and is always shown as a tough fighter, even given her relatively comfortable life. Rhyley was her first grandchild and was usually spoilt by both her and her husband, however she was also quick to teach Rhyley humility and respect, which has stayed with him as the boy became a man.
Annuil's adult life has always been at the side of her husband, and she is fierce in protecting her family, as has been seen throughout her married life with Gern, as she directs and sometimes manipulates others into doing what is best for her family. When it was announced that Cayla was expecting Rhyley's children, Ann was quick to offer her support but was suspicious of Cayla's romance with Rhyley and didn't want her grandson to marry her.
When her grandson kept showing up at Chandrila with Kileo in the months after the birth of the triplets, Ann had correctly assumed that Rhyley was engaged in an affair with the woman, and would go so far to admit that if it carried on, she expected her grandson to one day, marry Dimoh. Preferring the match of Rhyley to Kileo instead of Cayla, she made sure that little news travelled back to Tessia with regards to Rhyley's stay away from his children with Nubian female.
The New Adleraan tragedy was a shock to Ann, however she refused to believe that Rhyley was dead based solely on the fact that the children never seemed to cry on the day of the attack. She made certain that her son-in-law used his position within the New Republic fleet to carry out a search for Rhyley, and instructed Gern to make the neccessary changes to Chanmea in order to better accomodate the triplets.
Ann raised the triplets as her own, however always taught the children about their father and where she could, their mother. She fled Chanmea with Gern following the attack on Chandrila and resettled on Ord Mantell. Rhyley's return from New Alderaan never surprised her, and she was already planning on re-establishing S.S.I at Orupia when her grandson found her and Gern with Tekk Larr and the children at their hideout.
When she was injured during an attack by assassin droid IG-88, she hid how severe the injuries were from everyone bar Gern, not wanting there to be any more reason for her family to worry. Though people often see Gern, Taei and Rhyley as the strong members of the family, it is truly Ann that keeps the family together, quietly directing its future from behind the vocal Corellian men.
Rhyley's never say die attitude comes from Annuil, and the way Stargazer instructs and teaches Yoshi stems from the way his grandmother would interact with him as a child. He is protective of his grandmother and loyal to her that he would do whatever she asks without thought.
====Gern Stargazer====
If Rhyley inherited his mother's compassion and his father’s sensibilities, then Rhyley most certainly inherited his passion and ferocity from his grandfather, Gern Stargazer. Pop as Rhyley refers to him, has always looked on Rhyley with favour, having taken both Tessia and his grandson in following chasing off Rhyley's biological father. It was Gern that taught Rhyley how to fly a ship by the time he was three, how to fight and then how to use a blaster by the time he Rhyley was eight though he never told Tessia about the latter.
Having slowly begun to cut back on his workload at his company Stargazing Shipyards Inc the Corellian oversaw the most successful period in its history, as well as its secret support of the Rebel Alliance during its operations at Chanmea. Since the Battle of Hoth, Gern had even begun considering placing himself on active military duty, and joining the Rebel Alliance as a Military Advisor though was always talked out of doing so by his wife.
Following the Battle of Endor and the birth of Rhyley's children, Gern had hoped that perhaps one day those children would want to inherit the family business so once again took more on at the Chanmea Shipyards. He helped to establish an Academy on Chandrila in memory of Bai'yle Norssohn, and began the building of one of Norssohn's last designs. Gern also began to teach the triplets in learning how to fly a ship, just as he had done with his grandchildren. When Rhyley left the triplets in his wife's care, Ann instructed him in preparing various escape strategies should the worst ever find them at Chandrila.
Though he didn't quite understand why, Gern carried out his wife's demands and was not surprised to see his wife proven right. When the couple, the triplets and Tekk Larr resettled on Ord Mantell, Gern enjoyed the time in relative obscurity, becoming an important member of the local community, his new found status was a welcome change, however when Ann once again decided what the couple were going to do next, Gern once again did as asked. On Orupia, Gern has begun to enjoy life as much as he has ever done, always finding an excuse to go chase Corsairs as well as once again re-establishing his company at the outer rim planet.
Though everyone has had their say on Rhyley's engagement to Kileo, and his failed romance to Cayla, Gern sees the boy as only following his heart just like any other good Corellian boy would and is more than happy to accept Kileo as his own grand-daughter.
Everyone in the Stargazer and Wynonyms household believes that when Rhyley grows old and grey that he will be the man his Grandfather is today. His looks inherited from his grandfather make the two look like they had fallen from the same pod and even their mannerisms are eerily similar.
====Raleigh Laine====
Rhyley's biological father has not seen the boy since he was a toddler. Rhyley inherited his eyes from the man, however little else is similar between the two.
Raleigh has a home on Coruscant and has been an informant for the Empire for the last few years.
If Rhyley were to ever see his biological father then those closest to him should be warned, as Rhyley would likely kill him without any second thought.
====Dareel Stargazer====
Rhyley has no knowledge of Dareel Stargazer, his uncle. The eldest child of Gern and Annuil, the Dareel secret is a carefully guarded secret that is kept hidden from all of the Stargazer grandchildren. The reasons being, that Dareel was taken from Gern and Ann as a child when it became apparent that the boy was force sensitive. At the time both Ann and Gern were loyal Republicans, however the refusal of the Jedi Order to allow the child to remain with his family was something that Ann nor Gern would ever forget.
Dareel and Rhyley exhibit a lot of similarities as children. Both were mischievous and had an eye for adventure, both were already able to pilot at a very young age and both loved blitzball.
====Bai'yle Norssohn & The Brothers (Jonset, Tekk Larr & Corran Horn)====
Bai'yle Norssohn, Jonset, Tekk Larr, Corran Horn and Rhyley were all Cadets in the same year at the CorSec Academy. Being in the same dorms and classes saw the four men become good friends, and since then they have grown into a brotherhood akin to that of family.
Bai'yle or Nicey as he was more affectionately known was Rhyley's best friend. The two had been inseparable since childhood and Norssohn had always been at Rhyley's side when he had needed him most. Rhyley trusted him implicitly and defended him without question as did the rest of Rhyley's Family who looked upon him as a surrogate son. Nicey's death at Orupia shocked Rhyley like nothing before, and he has struggled to come to terms with the loss of such an important friend.
Jonset or Patches as he is sometimes known, is blindly loyal to Rhyley. Meeting as children at Primary School, Rhyley stood up against the class bully after he started picking on the Zabrak. Since then though not successful following life after the Academy and having fallen into a life in the Underworld, working on occasion for Black Sun, Jonset is still fiercely loyal to Rhyley and has joined his brother on Orupia.
Tekk Larr or Fatboy is the sensitive joker of the pack. Having left the Academy he went into Ship Manufacturing at Gern Stargazer's Company SSI. Not as confident as the other men, Tekk was always the more sensible and would tend to try talking Rhyley and Bai'yle out of their adventures. Rhyley looks on him like a younger brother and made sure his life is as comfortable as possible, offering him a home and position on Orupia.
Corran Horn or Screwy was the only member of the group of friends to prolong their stay in CorSec. Though he had seen the worst that CorSec has to offer, he tried to continue to protect the Corellian People as best he can before eventually his patience finally lost out. He now serves in the New Republic's Rogue Squadron as a pilot. Rhyley and Corran still don't get to spend as much time together as either would prefer.
====Raedan Kitani====
Raedan Kitani would soon appear in Outmian Yakta not long after Rhyley. The two seemed to not get along initially and when Raedan was singled out for trying to harm DSE on the guidance of Bib Fortuna, Kitani was cast out of the company, however his reckless behaviour and subsequent beating at the hands of one of DSE's enemies, showed Rhyley that this kid had heart.
Rhyley took him under his wing against the advice of nearly everyone, showing him things that he felt might channel Raedan's abilities somehow. It wasn't long before Rhyley began to depend on his abilities as an Infiltrator and Slicer, and also gave him a hidden position in DSE by helping to set up a Base of Operations for the young budding Information Broker.
In the months that passed the two became good friends, often teasing the other. Rhyley saw him as reckless, but recognised part of himself in that. He trusted Raedan more than most, so much that Raedan has become the first member of The Brothers that wasn't an Academy Brat.
Raedan Kitani served as Best Man at Rhyley's Wedding to Atyphe and was partially responsible for finding An-Taei Wynonyms.
Given the battles and adventures the two men have been through together, Rhyley is fiercely loyal to Kitani and Stargazer's mother and father even consider Raedan as another surrogate son. Raedan's transfer to Alliance Intelligence has caused Rhyley no end of concern, though he had been impressed with Raedan's perseverance and dedication to the Alliance cause. Watching from afar, Rhyley considered Raedan one of the few successes Stargazer has managed to bring to the Alliance.
On Orupia, the sudden death of Bai'yle Norssohn had a damning affect on Rhyley and Raedan's close friendship. Raedan's sudden inhuman shift in personality left Stargazer feeling as though the Empire had cost him the lives of two brothers. In the months that followed Rhyley would see Raedan dead. However what he did not know at the time was that an Imperial Droid Replicant had replaced Raedan.
They would later find the man at the Battle of Endor, and Raedan has since chosen to join his father with the Grey Fleet. In the few years after, Kitani eventually returned to Rhyley's side at first to spy on him at the request of Taei Wynonyms, however his own troubles soon brought this to light. Though Rhyley was critical of Raedan, having felt betrayed, Rhyley didn't cast him out, instead, taking it upon himself to help the cyborg sort his life out one way or another.
====Erisey Casoona====
Rhyley met Erisey Casoona after Bai'yle Norssohn had intercepted her in Outmian Yakta following Caerwynn Royce's escape from the Imperials. Picking her up at Ryloth, Rhyley lead her to her mother on Lok.
In the following months, Rhyley reluctantly allowed her to become more involved in OSF, concerned that her age will affect her ability, though she continued to surprise him. He sees a lot of similarities with Caerwynn when he talks with Erisey and yet also sees his sister in her manner. As such he refers to her affectionately as Kid however he doesn't think she sees this as affection.
With Raedan Kitani marrying Erisey, Rhyley was overjoyed for his friends, and as such has included Eri as part of his family as an honorary sister as well as including her as part of his Rebel Commando Team.
Her promotion to Sergeant surprised Rhyley and he tried to hide his obvious disapproval of her new rank, unsure if she was truly ready to lead a Commando Unit, ahead of the others within the unit, especially Raedan. Though both had been through difficult times in the time of the Battle of Hoth, her lead of the unit in rescuing he and Princess Leia Organa from the Ascenions impressed him before she was later subsequently drafted into Alliance Intelligence.
Rhyley tried to keep in touch with Erisey over comms and when on active duty postings of the same locations, as well as occasionally visiting both her and Yoshi where he could. He was surprised to find her back with his unit when Exao lead the force back to Orupia to find he and Raedan.
The two currently have an uneasy relationship because of Raedan's decision to leave Talus to join his father's side within the Grey Fleet and due to their misadventure at Vreni Island, though Rhyley tries his best to be there for his surrogate sister as much as he can manage. He worries that her time and Raedan's time spent apart will ultimately undo their marriage. 
====Yoshi Kitani====
Rhyley met Yoshi after being rescued from the Ascenion Prison, Tracalix. Having always wanted to be a father himself, he instantly took to liking Yoshi, and spends time when he is able with the young child. Rhyley's respect for Raedan and Erisey grew when he heard that the pair would continue to look after the child after they rescued the young boy from Ramsuai on Falucio. When both Erisey and Raedan are on mission for the Rebellion, Yoshi stayed with Rhyley's sister Samuun.
Rhyley shares a special relationship with Yoshi, the two often seen touching foreheads together as a form of greeting, something Yoshi doesn't do with others. At the age of eight, Yoshi began to show hints as to his force sensitivity for the first time, and Raedan requested that Rhyley and Kileo take the child on as a student.
Rhyley only accepted after much conversation with Raedan regarding just how much would be placed on the child's shoulders as a young boy using such gifts.
===Friendship Ties===
Rhyley has managed to meet a lot of people, some of them have become good friends, others have found him difficult from the moment they met him, yet neither would deny that Rhyley Stargazer didn't make an impression on those he has come across.
====Aniwevei Chreitti====
Rhyley encountered Aniwevei Chreitti upon his first ever visit to Outmian Yakta. He had left Jabba's Palace in search of more legal work to be able to purchase a ship, and bumped into the young female in the Cantina, also looking for work.
Aniwevei or Evei as he would call her would be the one that would open Rhyley's eyes to the Force, giving him a shocking insight into a world that he never knew existed. Her truths created much panic in the young man and was asked by her to aid her ill-fated trip to Kashyyyk.
Tied forever by a bond akin to that of Master and Apprentice, Rhyley initially looked on Evei as a sister, however this bond has often conflicted their emotions. Feeling abandoned by her, Rhyley has a lot of confused feelings for the woman, both hate and concern felt as he struggles with their connection.
A tentative relationship had formed since Korriban, though Aniwevei's shock appearance at Rishi in Haven One has done much to inflict damage on their difficult relationship. The news of her romance with Exao Gunn was also something that Rhyley disproved of, feeling the female witch would be an unwelcome distraction to Exao.
Her death on Dxun caused Rhyley to also die before he was brought back from death with the aid of Jedi, Cayla Dunestrider. He had since learned of Evei's resurrection, but had harboured no intention of seeing her. Whilst fighting the Empire on Orupia, Exao Gunn would inform Rhyley of his intention to marry the Dathomiri Witch and asked for Stargazer to serve as best-man. Though at odds with the idea of one of his closer friends being in love with Aniwevei, Rhyley congratulated him all the same, though asked for time to decide if it was right for him to serve as Exao's best-man.
After his time away from the unit whilst he continued to serve on Orupia, Rhyley would learn that Exao and Aniwevei had children. Rhyley congratulated him and asked him to pass his best to the mother, it was the first time Rhyley had actually offered good will to Evei since Kashyyyk.
Following the Battle of Endor, both Evei and Exao decided to retreat to Dathomir in order to raise their children, Rhyley not knowing that during her journey she along with her children and Exao were transported to another dimension.
====Cayla Dunestrider====
Rhyley aided the female when she was recovered from Imperial Forces and Slavers on Kashyyyk. Helping her to settle on Tatooine, Rhyley introduced her to Aniwevei Chreitti. The two have had few discussions regarding the Force, yet following Rhyley being possessed by the symbiotic entity, Sithspore, Rhyley though thankful to her for her aid, had tried to keep a distance from the woman and her questions.
Their time since has often been from one extreme to the other. Cayla's decision to tell Kileo Dimoh and Sava Stary of their force sensitivity as well as her defence of Aniwevei Chreitti often saw the pair embroiled in arguments. Their anger for each other however was put aside as both managed to keep a charade going that they were lovers whilst the pair went undercover in Dearic.
After which both remained at a distance from the other, with Cayla watching over her apprentice, Exao Gunn, a member of Rhyley's commando unit. This period near each other seemed to allow the two to at least be civil. After the rebel mission at Falucio and Alkain, Cayla's time spent with Yoshi and dealing with the trouble they encountered at Arbra saw Rhyley actually look on Cayla in a different light to how he had done before.
Her request to join the Rebellion and even as part of Rhyley's commando unit following the sudden Alliance defeat at Filve, and the supposed loss of Exao Gunn surprised Rhyley, and for the most part he was uncertain of her role within a military unit. However he decided to allow her to join, and was part of the team that eventually found Gunn on Filve.
When Aniwevei Chreitti died due to injuries on Dxun, the bond she shared with Rhyley was severed. The young man being so attuned to the bond also died however it was Cayla who used her force knowledge in order to bring Rhyley back from death, replacing his bond with Aniwevei, with a new bond to her. During the course of this, she confessed her 'love' for Rhyley.
Since then Rhyley, although uncertain if her feelings were true, tried to be open where he could with Cayla. He told her things that he had never shared with anyone else, and given her reaffirmation of her love for him has tried to look on her differently, though he has chosen to hide his closer relationship with the young woman from nearly everyone, especially his family and friends.
Following the retreat from Orupia and death of Bai'yle Norssohn, Rhyley kept his distance from everyone, including that of Cayla, although the two did secretly share time together alone before he returned to Orupia as according to General Crix Madine's orders. Having unknowingly been suffering from the loss of his bond to Aniwevei, Stargazer would give indication of his willingness to learn as much of the force as he could, be it light or dark teachings and his hope to rewrite what the Jedi once were.
During his time on Orupia, Rhyley would feel the loss of his sense of feeling of Cayla through his bond. Not dead, filled him with confusion as to hwy this suddenly happened. Finally returning to the fleet nearly six months after being gone, the two were eventually reunited. The shock of seeing Cayla heavily pregnant left the young man feeling that she had moved on, however it was nowhere near close to the shock that he was the father and she was expecting triplets.
Given his insecurities about fatherhood following his relationship to both his biological and adoptive fathers as well as the heated arguments he and Atyphe used to have about the subject, Rhyley was dumbfounded as to how to deal with the pregnancy or understand what his feelings for Cayla were, fearing that he would make the same mistakes as his biological father.
In the weeks after, Rhyley felt cornered and forced into the relationship by Cayla, the two often quick to fall into bickering and arguments about their circumstances as well as Dunestrider's seeming reluctance to inform Stargazer's family about the pregnancy and her slandering of his character led the young man to eventually realise the feelings he had for the woman were clearly not what she felt for him.
After the birth of their three children, the female again seemed forceful to the point that the young Corellian finally admitted to the woman that he didn't see the two of them as a couple. The two would be together on New Alderaan and were trapped on the planet with Kileo, a period which was difficult for all three friends.
Upon escaping, Rhyley convinced Cayla to live on Orupia, just to be near the children, and though she accepted, the woman became a recluse. Rhyley worries for her, knowing he does care for her, and often refuses to speak out against the woman when in discussion about her with others.
To this day Rhyley wishes Cayla had not saved his life at Arbra and feels he has ruined her life.
====Abaim Efeiwoi====
Abaim Efeiwoi joined the squadron at the same time as Atyphe and met Rhyley through Tarrik Sunstrider. The two were often joking and teasing the other and as DSE got caught up in a series of attacks from its enemies, Rhyley and Abaim were often on missions together.
Abaim Efeiwoi proved instrumental at stopping the Droid Attack, and for a while, Rhyley was looking to place Abaim as a Senior Officer within the squadron, however his leadership in the Naboo Problem with Caerwynn Royce was ill fated. Rescued from an Imperial Prison on Dathomir, Abaim hasn't really recovered and is a shadow of his former self.
Though it pains Rhyley that his friend isn't the man he once was, he still keeps in contact with him, hoping one day that the Sullustan will return.
====Hendar Gahn====
Rhyley first met Hendar at a Cantina Evening, Hendar becoming one of the new members of the security force following Max Rockatanski taking charge. The two have since been on a fair share of missions together, Rhyley trusting him so much that he has also become part of Rhyley's Alliance Commando Squad.
He looks upon Hendar in a similar vein as that of Bai'yle a calmed confidence when in battle and though not of Mandalorian Lineage, Rhyley has even begun referring to him as Alor in term of respect. He sees Hendar as a strong and consistent ally and helps in anyway he can at the Outpost of Mos Yaim’la.
Rhyley talked Bai'yle Norssohn into learning about his Mandalorian Heritage based purely on Stargazer's friendship with Hendar Gahn and Rhyley trusts Hendar with the knowledge of Stargazer being a Jedi.
Following being moved towards the Core, Hendar requested that he remain on Tatooine, a move that Rhyley understood and accepted. Rhyley was said to hear of the fall of Alor from Sarparious and chose to add his name to a tattoo Rhyley had made in memory of his fallen friends.
====Exao Gunn====
Rhyley first met Exao Gunn during the Rebel Mission on Drall. Impressed by his performance under pressure, Rhyley quickly sought the advice of Bai'yle, Atyphe and Erisey regarding the young man before subsequently recruiting him to the Alliance as part of his Commando Unit.
Since then though their time together has been infrequent, the two get along. Rhyley sees a lot of himself in Exao and even shades of his brother An-Taei, something that gives Rhyley a reason to place more trust in the young Talusian, as is evident when Rhyley chose Exao to lead the mission to Rescue Imperial Defector, Wiltrain Kitani.
Though he sees Exao as young man that struggles with his emotions, Rhyley has a lot of time for the young Rebel, allowing Exao to speak in earnest to him regarding anything, to helping him understand his past and going so far to highlight him to command as a possible CO in the future.
Rhyley was furious when he heard that High Command had learned of Exao's Force Sensitivity and tried to overturn the decision to place Gunn in the newly formed Chasdy's Commandos. Moved to Filve the loss sustained by the Alliance by the Imperial Forces saw Gunn as being declared dead. Rhyley was the first person to be informed by command, and he subsequently requested he and his unit be immediately involved in the aftermath mission.
Able to eventually find Gunn, the success of their mission on Filve eventually saw Exao placed back with his former unit. When Rhelex Jubulii was removed from the Unit before the Battle of Orupia, Rhyley decided to give Exao more responsibility within the unit placing him as his second-in-command, hoping to train the young man well enough, to allow Rhyley to eventually leave the Rebellion, something he has not told anyone. During Orupia, Exao would also ask Stargazer to serve as his best-man when Gunn marries Aniwevei Chreitti. Though at odds with their relationship, believing Aniwevei's influence on Exao as possibly troublesome, Rhyley congratulated him and asked for time to decide on such an honour.
During Orupia, Rhyley had given thought to passing on his knowledge to Exao regarding the force, however when he lost his sense of Cayla in the months that followed, Rhyley recoiled from the idea completely. When reunited with Gunn after being recovered from Orupia, learning about him becoming a father and having children with Aniwevei was the final nail in the idea of him mentoring Exao, not wanting to be the cause of any possible conflict between Aniwevei and Exao. Though he was surprised that Exao was a father, he was happy for him.
Following the Battle of Endor, Exao finally asked Rhyley if he could leave the military. After explaining to him his reason was to head to Dathomir and raise his family with Aniwevei, Rhyley reluctantly accepted. Rhyley has no knowledge that during Exao's journey to Dathomir, he was transferred to another dimension.
====Jacoreb Illstrike====
The Bothan doctor Jacoreb Illstrike is one of the few Bothans that Rhyley actually manages to hold a converse with without wanting to shoot the man, well, most of the time. The two met during their time at Outmian Yakta, and though Rhyley always kept the Bothan at a distance, he respected his aptitude in medicine.
The two would re-meet a year later when the Bothan was placed under Rhyley's supervision by the Rebel Alliance, following Illstrike's endeavours as a Tatooine Resistance Fighter. Rhyley was furious at being asked to babysit the Bothan and found it annoying how the Bothan always seemed to be around.
Jacoreb would later go on to save Rhyley's life and help to deliver his children and as such Stargazer does try to remain civil where he can with the Bothan, however his continual odd behaviour and childish antics usually sees the pup often find itself the ire of the Corellian's frustration.
====Jiani====
Jiani is an Orupian Handmaiden that was selected by Rhyley to guard his future wife Kileo Dimoh, following his lovers ascent to lead the Draksin Forces against Princess Isa Valois. The daughter of Tomith, Jiani's combat prowess and intuitive thinking impressed Rhyley so much that the female was also selected as the head of the Handmaidens.
Following the Orupian Civil War, Kileo and Rhyley decided to remain on the planet with the female soon crowned as ruling monarch, with Jiani an ever present presence to the royal couple. From those early days, Rhyley has probably spent more time in Jiani's company than he has done many of his closest friends, and as such the two had quickly formed a close friendship.
Around each other they are both brash and impulsive, Jiani in some ways even reflecting Rhyley's cavalier attitude to life in her own persona. In combat there are few that Rhyley thinks would be able to match the Draksin female, even seeing her superior to that of her own father, who himself is a legend amongst the Draksin army.
When Rhyley and Kileo were announced as missing on New Alderaan, Jiani was heartbroken, her feelings for the couple far more than just simple protector and guard. When the royal couple finally returned to Orupia a year later, Jiani who had continued to be dedicated to her role as Handmaiden, was elated, her feelings easily shown and as such she is always found with the couple since.
In the months since their return, Rhyley has grown rather fond of Jiani, and considers her first as one of his most trusted friends even though she is supposedly steadfastly loyal to Kileo. He shares his intimate feelings for Kili with her, and is often found seeking her counsel when he finds himself unable to talk with his lover, something he never does with others including that of his brothers.
====Rhelex Jubulii====
Lex as Rhyley refers to him was first hired as a mercenary to aid Rhyley and his Commando Unit in a mission to Anteevy, since then Rhelex has become an important part of what Rhyley sees as his best Unit.
With Rhyley having spent time away from the Unit on Hoth, the two have spent little time together, however upon Rhyley's awakening from being possessed, Lex soon confided in Rhyley his insecurities. As such Rhyley saw some part of Bai'yle in the way Rhelex behaves and has become quite friendly with the Mandalorian.
When High Command suggested the Malastare Fallout was Rhelex's fault, Rhyley went to great lengths to protect the young Rebel, believing entirely in Jubulii's performance in the field. He has noticed that Lex has trouble getting along with some members in Stargazer's Commandos Unit, but makes certain to approach Lex in his own free time.
Rhyley doesn’t believe in Rhelex's seemingly Mercenary nature, believing it to be more a façade to hide the man he actually is. In fact he often sees Rhelex true side when the Mandalorian is in converse with men in the unit of a similar ilk to he.
Following Erisey Casoona-Kitani's re-assignment to Intel, Rhyley then decided to give Rhelex the chance of being his number two within the commando unit, Stargazer's Commandos. However his aptitude saw him later assigned to Miko Beski as his number two. In the Battle of Orupia, Rhelex was onboard the Deviant Flight when it exploded, and Stargazer was sadden to see the fall of a good friend.
====Weekat Matiren====
Rhyley met Weekat Matiren when he awoke from an assassination attempt on his life in Outmian Yakta. Hearing of how the Imperial Stormtrooper had been the one to save his life with aid from Medical Droids and Raedan, Rhyley held a great respect for the female immediately. It was because of this respect that he re-affirmed his commitment to not carrying out Rebel attacks on the areas near Outmian Yakta on Tatooine, knowing it would be difficult for those within his unit to stand against a few members of the local garrison.
His father decided against the decision however to allow Weekat to oversee his son's further surgery and instalment of cyborg arm attachments due to Rhyley's force sensitivity. Also along with the aid of Raedan Kitani, the two men were able to hide these details at the time, from Weekat and the Empire.
The next time Rhyley would knowingly meet Weekat was when the female had fled from the Empire and had subsequently joined the Rebellion. Assigned to his unit, Rhyley was debriefed as to her current standing including some highlights of her recent Imperial activities. Though unsure if the right place for Weekat is within his unit, it is because of their past, and her saving of his life that Rhyley had decided to try and help her settle in as quickly as possible.
The two would work together during the mission to Orupia, and Rhyley was impressed not only with her combat but also her ability to adapt to the conditions when administering aid. In the early stages of the battles, Rhyley valued her considerably higher than anyone else in his unit.
Since then, having left the New Republic and with Weekat remaining part of the Republic Military, Rhyley occasionally sees Weekat from time to time, with the woman a close friend of Kileo.
====Kaje-James Reilloc====
The arrogant Kaje-James Reilloc joined the Commando Unit thanks to Raedan Kitani during the units recovery of Rhyley Stargazer following his Imperial Re-Education. Though the two knew little of each other and given their strange meeting, initially Rhyley kept a distance to observe the newest member of the unit.
However since then Rhyley has noticed a similar trait of that in Kaje among his Corellian friends back at the CorSec Academy, due to this he finds Kaje quite likeable, and the two are often found in converse. Though he has also witnessed a cutting almost darker side to Kaje's personality, he believes there is something in Kaje's past that lends itself to this.
When Kaje requested to travel to Coruscant in order to find a former lover, Rhyley quickly accepted, noticing how poorly Kaje had struggled with the news that his former lover had been captured by Black Sun operatives and was now living as a slave. A pilot who's ability in a cockpit Rhyley appreciates, Stargazer has watched quietly as Kaje would become an important member of his commando unit.
Rhyley sees Kaje as someone with a reckless streak and disregard for pompous authority, though he sees Kaje as a man that does his up-most for his allies when needed, yet tries to hide this from everyone. Since Rhelex Jubulii and Bai'yle Norrsohn were reassigned, Rhyley has begun to give more responsibility to Kaje, though has grown concerned as to Kaje's apparent disdain for anything Force related, with Kaje going so far as to ignoring the well-being of his supposed 'friends'.
Rhyley also sees Kaje as a sort of wild-card, perhaps having a darker side of a moral compass in order to achieve his desires and trusting very few people with his feelings. When Kaje was ordered to take a Psychological Evaluation, Rhyley saw first hand a man that had more demons than perhaps he ever wanted others to see.
Refusing to give up on his friend, Rhyley would stay close to him hoping to be there if he needed. The two becoming closer following their struggles on New Alderaan. Rhyley eventually talked Kaje into staying on Orupia for a while, if only just to have a place to fall back on.
====Max Rockatanski====
The irrepressible Max Rockatanski become a frequent visitor to Outmian Yakta's Cantina following Rhyley's first visit. The two men would become good friends and would help each other within their rise within DSE.
Rocky was Rhyley's first friend in Outmian, and he was loyal to him, always relying on his strength to aid the security force following the break up of it's fractious leadership. He trusted him so much that even though he was a former Stormtrooper, Rhyley would depend on him for the attack on the Imperial Prison on Dathomir in rescuing Caerwynn Royce, Abaim Efeiwoi and Taokan.
The 'death' of Max was truly shocking for Rhyley and even since, Rhyley still blames himself for the loss of his good friend. However the shock of finding Max on Drall was like no other. Though Max is not himself, Rhyley will still do anything he can to aid his friend.
====Sarparious Serpentus====
Sarparious Serpentus was personally hired by Rhyley, to watch over Quazaq Jappy during an operation to rescue Cravon Wolfgang from Black Sun operatives on Coruscant. Impressed by his handling of the operation, Stargazer would then offer a full time role to the Trandoshan as part of the Tatooine Defence Force, the OSF.
The Corellian would then look on the Trandoshan as an eventual replacement of his position at the security force once Rhyley had decided to move on, often arguing with his superiors to keep to allow Serpentus to have more responsibility, including moving Ixal Dorran aside to allow Sarparious to assume command of the Krayts. Stargazer's quick departure from Tatooine left the man unable to see Sarparious and pass on his gratitude for all the Trandoshan had done whilst Rhyley was in Outmian Yakta, hoping to one day again meet the giant man.
This would happen when the two would again meet in Kystes over a year later. Rhyley still treasures his friendship with the Dosh, hoping to once again head into battle with the huge figure alongside. Unfortunately, it would never quite happen. During the attack on New Alderaan, the Trandoshan managed to find Rhyley and Kileo on the planet, however had suffer many injuries that would later claim his life.
Rhyley knows he'll never meet someone quite like the Trandoshan again.
====Sava Stary====
Rhyley would keep his uncertainty of Sava Stary fairly hidden only because of Kileo. Their friendship initially was strained, with Rhyley unable to trust Sava due to his past as an Imperial. A few comments from Sava in Rhyley's attendance did little to settle any misconceptions that Rhyley holds for the fallen Imperial Lieutenant, having to bite his tongue from countering what he saw as derogatory remarks about Rhyley and the Rebels.
Since then and especially due to their time spent together at Haven One, Rhyley has actually formed a respect for the man. Surprised by the news that Sava would join the Rebellion as part of Madine's infrastructure for his Elite Commandos, Rhyley so far as to take Sava’s opinion on his own missions, trusts his insight into the Imperial Military. Through their converses, the two appear to have a lot more in common than they initially realised.
Their subsequent missions since have seen the pair work well in tandem, and Rhyley has changed his view on the man. Now no longer disproving of the former Imperial's relationship with Kileo Dimoh, he requested that Sava be assigned to the Commando Unit permanently and given a respectable rank.
Rhyley considers the man as a strong ally and a good friend, placing more trust in him with matters both in the unit and outside. Rhyley relies on his dependability more than most, and has subsequently given the man more responsibility in the unit.
When on Orupia, Sava's cold-professional handling of Kileo during her troubled periods impressed Stargazer. Viewing him with more respect, Stargazer considers Stary as an important cog in the Rebel unit, and his ability to place aside his feelings in dealing with painful situations as an immeasurable quality in one of his men.
After rejoining the unit in the many months after Orupia, Rhyley found Sava was still the same man he once knew and was glad to think of him as a friend, however that did not stop him from having an affair with Kileo shortly before Stary's death in the Battle of Endor.
Rhyley misses Sava a lot more than people would perhaps think and chose to add his name to a tattoo Rhyley had made in memory of his fallen friends.
====Atyphe Vrydella====
Rhyley first encountered the beautiful Twi'lek Dancer within Outmian Yakta's Cantina. Having just been hired by Tarrik Sunrider for the Squadron, Rhyley was the first pilot to greet her to the Ghost Squadron.
Following his shocking rise to Commanding Officer of the Squadron, Rhyley installed Atyphe as his Lieutenant, realising that her strength of character would aid the fledgling squadron evolve to a more professional outfit. He soon began to feel more for the woman, and quickly fell for her following their numerous conversations.
She had become one of the most important people in his life, and he sought her opinion at every chance he was able. Though he has seen her as somewhat ruthless on occasion, he loved her unquestioningly and appreciated her never-ending patience with him. Their early relationship was passionate and loving, though following their marriage the two would often argue and fight usually about Kileo and various others that would be in Rhyley's company.
Since his reassignment to Hoth, Rhyley has not seen his ex-wife and though he had sent numerous communications, though they were received, all were ignored. It was with a heavy heart that Rhyley decided to activate a prenuptial clause of their union contract, a decision that he struggled with for months before finally agreeing to.
She was his first love, though now he is older, Rhyley wonders if it was more lust and loyalty.
===Trusted Allies===
Thanks in part to his family and friends; Rhyley is blessed with good connections. Having also been a mercenary and smuggler he has also managed to get connections to some of the most respected people across the galaxy.
====Garm Bel Iblis====
As Garm Bel Iblis continued his efforts on stabilising Corellia within the newly formed Empire, he was also secretly building a political resistance group and met with other senators and individuals who shared his concerns which would go on to become the Rebel Alliance. One such individual was CorSec Officer Taei Wynonyms.
Wynonyms and Bel Iblis would become good friends, Garm also pointing out S.S.I as a possible place to purchase a Personal Ship led to Taei meeting Gern Stargazer and Tessia Laine, the woman he would eventually marry. Bel Iblis was best-man at the Wynonyms' Wedding and with Taei adopting Rhyley as his own son, the two families grew close.
Rhyley trusts Bel Iblis with everything. The Older Corellian is also one of the few that knows of Rhyley and An-Taei's Force Sensitivity. And even though he is no longer part of the Rebellion, his ties to its members enabled Rhyley to aid Atyphe in her search regarding the death of her parents.
Rhyley refers to Garm Bel Iblis as Uncle.
It would be some time till Rhyley would again see his uncle, finally meeting him at Peregrine's Nest, he was impressed with just how much the old Corellian had managed to achieve though warned him about his dealings with the Bothan, Borsk Fey'lya.
Since Rhyley left the New Republic, Garm was quick to offer a place for him at Peregrines Nest, before informing Taei that he expected Rhyley to become involved in a more vigilanty stance with the Empire.
====Lando Calrissian====
Lando Calrissian is an associate of Bai'yle Norssohn's. The two having worked together during Bai'yle's time with Mirax Terrik's crew. The pair got along well enough for Bai to highlight Calrissian and Cloud City as a possible haven free from Black Sun and Imperial control. Rhyley took this advice during the rescue of Cravon Wolfgang.
Calrissian has had ties with S.S.I and had proved to be a valuable ally away from the Core. However when Imperial Forces took control of Bespin, Calrissian surprisingly joined the Rebel Alliance and has since become a General.
====Talon Karrde====
Rhyley met with Talon Karrde whilst with Le'xa Flint. Taking work on occasion for the Smugglers Alliance, Talon tried to recruit Stargazer from Flint to which Rhyley refused, something that hasn't gone down too well with the Information Broker.
Since then, Rhyley has continued to do occasional jobs for Karrde in return for Information and Intelligence, which has proven invaluable. Though their friendship has continued to stale following Rhyley's failed marriage to Atyphe Vrydella and even worse thanks to Rhyley introducing Caerwynn Royce to him.
Though Karrde has sometimes hinted he knows where Atyphe went following the Battle of Hoth, Karrde refused to aid Stargazer in any endeavour to meet with her. The two worked again on Tatooine when Rhyley visited the desert planet in an effort to find Luke Skywalker and their relationship was amicable, and have continued to work with Karrde to the point where Karrde admitted that he respected Stargazer - something he was quite surprised to hear.
====Crix Madine====
Crix Madine was a Commanding Officer of the Rebel Alliance Special Operations Units and a General within the Alliance Military. Having decided to use Rhyley as a Field Agent for the Rebellion, he was so impressed with Stargazer's subsequent performance that he immediately offered the young Corellian a position within the Alliance Spec-Ops.
Rhyley believes in Madine more than many within the Rebellion, and through this trust takes on as much advice and insight from the Corellian General as he can. Conversely, Madine has looked upon Stargazer and his men as one of the most impressive military units within the Rebellion and has on occasion even outlined them as an example to new Alliance Recruits.
Madine proved crucial in keeping Raedan and Rhyley from being imprisoned during their corresponding hearings, and as such Stargazer will do anything asked of him by Crix Madine. Madine personally tried to talk Rhyley out of leaving the New Republic in 8 ABY, however respected his decision and keeps in touch where he can.
====Shug Ninx====
The Spacebarn on Nar Shaddaa was owned and operated by Shug Ninx. Ninx was a well-known engineer and mechanic, and due to his early status on Corellia would often converse with Gern Stargazer at his Shipyards, with Gern trying to hire Ninx into his cadre of Engineers.
Rhyley first met Shug Ninx on Nar Shaddaa thanks to Le'xa Flint. What he did not know however was that Shug Ninx was a very close friend of Gern Stargazer, in fact to this day Rhyley is completely unaware of that friendship.
When Rhyley was considered dead on Nar Shaddaa, Ninx contacted Gern Stargazer immediately and even tried to look after Rhyley's ship the Rogue Star. Following their joint ventures against the Empire on Nar Shaddaa, both men hold more respect for the other however unfortunately because of Evei and Exao's activities on Nar Shaddaa and use of Rhyley's name, Ninx seems to hold a grudge and expects payment of some sort if Rhyley is ever to use this friendship again.
===Dangerous Enemies===
Over the course of his life, Stargazer has managed to get under the skin of a few of the most feared people in the galaxy. Having had two known assassination attempts taken against him, Stargazer has made some very dangerous enemies that all hope to one day kill the young Corellian.
====Shie Azumie====
Shie Azumie was an Alliance Recruit that was placed under Stargazer's charge on Hoth in order to train as a Special Operations Commando. A Zeltron, she was taken by Human League members by force and placed in a Drall Detention Camp where she was later rescued by Stargazer. This lead to the woman holding a certain amount of respect for the young Corellian, and during their time on Hoth, she soon grew to have stronger feelings for him.
Captured by Imperial Forces at the battle of Hoth along with Rhyley, her unknown Force Ability allowed her to be possessed by an Imperial Sithspawn creation, Sithspore. Now changed into the form Shikan, she helped Izard Kalleem to change Rhyley into Rhykan forming a bond with the hot-shot pilot.
Living as lovers, the two excelled in their new training, being Kalleem's apprentices they were tasked with tracking down and murdering Rebel Agents. When Stargazer was sent to Tatooine, he was captured by Raedan and Erisey Kitani and was eventually turned back to Rhyley. Shikan meanwhile felt the bond of her break however by the time she had managed to arrive at Tatooine, Stargazer and his allies were long gone.
Subsequently the young woman went on a murderous killing spree in Outmian Yakta as well as searching for the few Rebel survivors of Anchorhead that had managed to survive the Imperial attack. Her role now has changed, instead of killing Rebel Agents, Kalleem has tasked her with the tracking of Stargazer and observation. She has since learned a few things of Rhyley Stargazer and has purposefully met Kaje Reilloc, Exao Gunn, Cayla Dunestrider, Sava Stary, Weekat Matiren and Kileo Dimoh though none have realised what she is or her goals.
At the fall of Emperor Palpatine she returned to her Master’s side to help Izard Kalleem form his new Empire, the Sith Ascendancy. Once it was established, she was tasked with bring Rhyley, Cayla Dunestrider and the Stargazer triplets to him. Eventually Aurra Sing managed to capture Rhyley and Kileo for her and brought the pair to the Zeltron who quickly went to work in seducing the couple.
She was furious to learn of Rhyley's escape and again wished to bring Stargazer and Dimoh back to Kalleem. Shikan has now formed her own designs on the couple for herself, and is already well underway in capturing the couple.
====Asua Baj'het====
Rhyley Stargazer first met the Corellian criminal Asua Baj'het during his days as a CorSec Cadet. Having been with Bai'yle Norssohn at the time, the two would get into a cantina fight that would end with Stargazer and Norssohn having to flee for their lives. The two would then face each other when Baj'het was tasked to destroy a CorSec Patrol Team that consisted of both Stargazer. Norssohn as well as Corran Horn. This time however it was Baj'het that fled with his life and was subsequently cast out by the Binayre Pirates due to his embarrassing failures.
Forming a vendetta against Stargazer, he later stole Taei Wynonyms' ship the Whyren Star. Renaming it Darkshade, he along with Ging Darjeek, another adversary of Stargazer's youth, formed the criminal group Shadow. Later joining Prince Xizor's Association of criminal groups, he was then tasked with controlling Stargazer who had now become part of the Tatooine Orgainsation, Dune Sea Enterprises.
Learning of Stargazer's relationship to Twi'lek Atyphe Vrydella, Baj'het decided that in order to control Stargazer, he would need to kill Norssohn and capture Atyphe. Ordering an assassination attempt on Norssohn, the group came close to killing him in Coronet, though the man was able to flee without any injury. This failure saw Stargazer go undercover to learn who was attacking him, and with the aid of Norssohn and Jonset, he would soon learn of the Shadow.
Returning to Tatooine, he immediately organised an attack team, as Baj'het managed to kidnap Atyphe. Stargazer along with Abaim Efeiwoi and Tarrik Sunstrider would lead the charge against the Shadow, rescuing Atyphe and killing Baj'het in the process. This conflict would be the first of many as Xizor tried to destroy Jabba's Empire.
====Guri====
Guri was a Human replica assassination droid that was part of the Black Sun. One of the few Xizor would trust implicitly, Guri first encountered Stargazer when the young Corellian lead the rescue of Caerwynn Royce. Guri would later capture Stargazer and Royce on Coruscant who had lead a decoy attack on Coruscant in order to help free Cravon Wolfgang, with Stargazer and Guri facing off thanks to Raedan Kitani and Hendar Gahn's rescue attempt.
It was during the second confrontation that Guri would almost kill Stargazer, as he would learn that the female was in fact a droid. Escaping with his life, Rhyley feared repercussions that would be taken by the Black Sun, and though he had expected it to be Guri that would come after him, she never would. Instead Rhyley would be the target for assassination by both Borssk and Dessian, though both would fail.
Rhyley would next come face to face with Guri whilst on Coruscant along with Sava Stary. She along with IG-88 would launch an attack on the two men who had been posing as Bounty Hunters. Able to retreat thanks to the timely intervention of Kitani and Kileo Dimoh, Stargazer had thought the female was killed when Xizor's Skyhook was destroyed.
She in fact survived however has gone into hiding.
====Izard Kalleem====
Izard Kalleem is a male human from Coruscant who became the youngest ever Direx in the Corporate Sector. Having wanted to eventually take over from Palpatine, Kalleem consolidated his power in the Corporate Sector and though Palpatine viewed him with a large amount of distrust, due to the Galactic Civil War, decided to not deal with the young Coruscanti.
Kalleem would begin to take more interest in Stargazer thanks to the capture of An-Taei Wynonyms. Learning that Stargazer was Force Sensitive (a fact he tried to keep hidden even in the Empire) Kalleem had wanted to capture Rhyley along with his allies in order to torture them and later subject them to his new Sith creation, Sithspore. He would later introduce himself to Stargazer and his allies at a dinner that was held on Gala. Though all found the man unnerving, none realised his plan for them.
It would be some time before Kalleem would eventually get his hands on Stargazer, and that time came largely thanks to chance more than any planning. Capturing Stargazer at Hoth, he managed to make the young Corellian submit to the Sithspawn's control changing him into the Sith being known as Rhykan. Kalleem would then teach Stargazer along with Shikan dark secrets that have remained with the young man even till today.
At the fall of Emperor Palpatine, Kalleem was ruthless in his absorption of Imperial Forces within the Corporate Sector and quickly established his own Empire, the Sith Ascendancy. Stargazer's rebirth from Rhykan was a mere minor set-back, though the Dark Master will one day take his apprentice back till then he had assigned Shikan to observe Rhyley and his allies, before finally deciding to instruct her in capturing Rhyley, something she acieved in doing so in 8 ABY.
Following the cure of his wound, Stargazer's memory of Kalleem is fully restored, and the Corellian fears him as the greatest threat not only to the galaxy, but to his family.
====Laryn Kre'fey====
A high ranking officer within the Bothan Spynet, when Bothawui finally decided to join the Rebellion, Kre'fey was given rank in the Alliance as General, in order to satisfy the new allies. Kre'fey would take an instant dislike to Stargazer's Commando Unit on Bothawui, even before he had joined the Rebellion and despite the fact that Rhelex Jubulii, Sava Stary, Kaje Reilloc and Bai'yle Norssohn had managed to do exactly what Kre'fey had asked of them.
Kre'fey would later be given charge of the Alliance Assault on Orupia, a mission that Stargazer's unit was also assigned to. Blaming Stargazer for the delay in breaking Imperial lines, tensions would mount between the two men during the course of the assault, the Bothan infuriated with the young Corellian for taking Benign Base before Kre'fey could and for the unit's inability to take the Imperial Stronghold, Juno Base. Kref'ey would then order Stargazer to remain on the Redemption, an order Stargazer flatly refused, who lead his unit back to Juno Base and was this time successful.
By now the Bothan was furious and though Stargazer's unit were praised by many for their achievements, Kref'ey sent the unit through the Wastelands, with few supplies, hoping that the journey would cripple the unit or perhaps even kill them. Fortunately Stargazer and his companions survived, and when the Alliance pulled back from Orupia Kre'fey immediately ordered the group be arrested for insubordination. Stargazer refused to allow his unit to take the blame and was the only member of the unit that would be arrested for misconduct. Thanks largely to General Crix Madine, Rhyley would never be charged however, instead sent on what Kre'fey thought as a suicide mission back to Orupia.
Rhyley managed to get to the Imperial Planet and begin the long process of helping Rebel Loyalists form resistance cells. Kre'fey hoped that Rhyley would perish and had already started to move his agents into places in order to eventually undermine and discredit the members of Stargazer's Commando Unit. His surprise to see Rhyley re-emerge from Orupia through his plan into chaos.
Rhyley has a dislike of Bothans that stems from his Imperial Education, however his disdain for Kre'fey was unlike any other. He blamed the Bothan for the death of Bai'yle Norssohn and loss of Raedan Kitani, and was actually glad to see his deat hreported on the HoloNet.
====Thrackan Sal-Solo====
An enemy of his father, Rhyley would also have trouble from Thrackan Sal-Solo. Having managed to rise to power on Corellia thanks to the Imperial Absorption of the planet just after the Battle of Yavin, Sal-Solo immediately went to work with changing Corellia. Establishing the Human League, Sal-Solo was partly responsible for the genocide of millions of non-humans, a plan that was uncovered thanks to Erisey Casoona and Raedan Kitani.
Having been the one to bring Dessian into the Binayre Pirates, it was Sal-Solo's orders that lead to the bounty hunter torturing Raedan Kitani, as well as being one of the voices to insist on the assassination of Rhyley Stargazer. His influence in CorSec is so extensive that Stargazer, Wynonyms and any of their known accomplices would be arrested on sight anywhere on Corellia.
Rhyley's disgust for Sal-Solo knows no bounds, and he views the man as the reason why Corellia has become an embarrassment to all Corellians. He hopes that after the Galactic Civil War is over and the Rebellion has emerged victorious, that he along with his father return to Corellia as heroes, and remove the stain of Sal-Solo from Corellian Heritage.
Sal-Solo however is far from being an easy target. He has dealings with many of the underworld groups, as well as the Galactic Empire. His followers are so extreme that most Corellians who abhor what he is doing wouldn't dare to oppose him for fear of reprisals. Since his rise to power, Corellia is steadily becoming a Human-only planet, and many non-human species avoid the planet at all costs.
====Reene Smait====
Reene Smait was part of the Imperial Security Bureau during the Corellian Absorption. Assigned to root out possible traitors within the newly formed CorSec Imperial Units, he would befriend Rhyley Stargazer. When he heard Stargazer was planning on defecting to the Rebellion, Smait informed his superiors and conducted a plan to find the hidden Alliance Fleet by posing as a defector himself.
The plan went almost to what Smait had wanted, capturing Taei Wynonyms among others however the Alliance General Garm Bel Iblis along with Rhyley managed to escape. Highly praised for his actions Smait was promoted to Commander, the youngest to ever do so, and was placed at Corellia where he over-saw many Imperial Operations as well as personally training Imperial Agent Zero.
Rhyley has no idea where Smait is as he has not seen nor heard from him since. The young Corellian is still at odds with himself for ever trusting Smait and for not listening to Bai'yle Norssohn who had insisted the man was slimy. It took him, years to ever truly trust anyone after that fateful event, and he still hopes to one day find and face Smait.
=== Factions ===
Rhyley has been part of numerous factions and has face even more be it in a blaster fight or mere negotiations. Few have since regarded Stargazer as and adversary or a even ally, but most recognise his ability, passion and perseverance in anything he tries.
==== Rebel Alliance & New Republic ====
Following his father's renunciation of his command within CorSec, Taei Wynonyms had already decided upon joining Garm Bel Iblis's Rebellion, Rhyley deciding to eventually follow in his father's tracks once he had secured his own retreat from Corellia. However with his father's capture by the Imperial Whyren Fleet, Stargazer cancelled his application to join their Starfighter Squadrons, having been scheduled to join Narra's flight wings. It would be over three years before Rhyley would think about joining the Rebel Alliance, having contacted Garm Bel Iblis regarding Atyphe Vrydella's dead parents.
Directed first to Anchorhead on Tatooine before eventually being passed onto New Plympto, Rhyley would meet Pilot Wedge Antilles, who eventually helped talk Stargazer into fully joining the Rebel Alliance. Placed under the charge of Major Bren Derlin, his first mission would see him rescue both his friend Raedan Kitani and his father, Taei Wynonyms.
Eventually selected by General Crix Madine to be part of his Elite Commando Special Operations Project, Stargazer has since lead a Commando Unit in various Military Operations and Battles. He was part of the Alliance Defence of Echo Base on Hoth and has risen to the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
The Alliance's High Command know of Rhyley's Force Sensitivity, and are hoping that he undertakes a form of training. They have not disclosed this information to anyone outside of their Command Structure, and this information is not on file.
Rhyley's loyalty to the Rebellion was tested during the mission to Orupia, and the recent alliance with Bothan Forces. Command's handling of he and his unit almost saw the man mutiny, however it was his respect for key Alliance members such as his father and Crix Madine that prevented him from doing so. Though he has no love for the Bothans, Rhyley remained loyal to the Rebellion cause which eventually saw him fight at the Battle of Endor.
When he returned from New Alderaan, the Rebel Alliance no longer existed, and was replaced by the New Republic. Having been away for so long, he was dismayed at the politics seen in the Privy Council of the new government, and was furious that they did not listen to his warning about the Corporate Sector and Izard Kalleem. He tendered his resignation during a hearing, something he never expected to do.
To this day, Rhyley sees himself as a Rebel, and not a Republican.
==== Galactic Empire ====
Rhyley became part of the Galactic Empire unwillingly. Having been part of the Black Squadron at the time of the Empire's absorption of CorSec, Stargazer played along doing as was expected of him. With his father renouncing his position as Admiral of the Whyren Fleet and subsequently going into hiding, Rhyley continued to appear loyal to the Empire however secretly began planning his own defection.
Though the defection would result in his brother and father's capture by Imperial Forces, the Empire forgot about Stargazer, not knowing that he would go on to join the Rebel Alliance. Eventually at the Battle of Hoth, Stargazer would be captured, and would undergo severe Re-
Education, with a Sithspawn implanted into his mind.
Adopting the persona of Rhykan, the young Corellian would become an Imperial Operative and began hunting his former allies.
Since then the Empire's contact with Rhykan was abruptly ended, it was considered that Stargazer was killed at the hands of Rebel Operatives lead by Kileo Dimoh.
Few Imperials actually know of Stargazer's Force Sensitivity and had hoped to harness it for their own devices, however following Stargazer's sudden disappearance have since given up hope.
Rhyley now avoids being seen in locations of intense Imperial Control for fear of being identified. Though he was ashamed of the Empire, he recognised the manipulation of the Emperor as the reason why good people become part of it's ideals. Yet in more recent times he has begun to develop a deep hatred for the Empire, and has begun to grow more ruthless in dealing with his enemy.
==== Sith Ascendancy ====
Izard Kalleem's Sith Ascenancy was born from the ashes of the fall of Emperor Palpatine. It views Rhyley as an integral part of its control of the galaxy simply due to his force sensitivity. It makes constant efforts to destablisie the galaxy where it can all the while continuing to gain more influence and power along the Tingel Arm.
Though Rhyley knows Kalleem thinks himself as an Emperor, he is yet to discover the true power of Izard Kalleem's Sith Ascendancy.
==== CorSec ====
For as long as Rhyley could remember, he has always wanted to be part of CorSec. With his father having been a Commodore and eventual Admiral of it's Defence Fleet, Rhyley wanted to follow in his father's shoes by becoming a Pilot within it's Elite Squadrons.
Attending the CorSec Academy in Coronet, Rhyley was soon well known amongst the Cadets and became good friends with the Horn Family. Upon his graduation from the Academy, it was hoped Rhyley would begin a path towards Fleet Command however the young Corellian did as he always said he would and joined Elteen Rhea's Elite Starfighter Squadron.
Following the Imperial absorption of CorSec, Stargazer's father along with Garm Bel Iblis and many others were branded as traitors to Corellia, CorSec and the Empire. Though Rhyley appeared loyal, he too eventually fled Corel.
With CorSec now under the Command of Thrackan Sal-Solo, Rhyley has nothing but disdain for what has happened to his home and former employers, the role of CorSec in the Empire's dealing with non-humans at the Core and subsequent rise of the Human League have filled him with hate for Sal-Solo.
Thanks to his dealings with Thrackan Sal-Solo, and various other underworld factions, Rhyley has a severe degree of notoriety on Corellia, so much so that he could no longer safely visit the planet without repercussions. This is even evident for those that he associates with, as is the case of Bai'yle Norssohn, Raedan Kitani and Hendar Gahn's capture by CorSec Forces.
In 8 ABY CorSec re-emerged at Orupia on the orders to arrest Rhyley. Meeting with Denjax Teppler as well as Vitala Baize, he along with Kileo managed to convince the CorSec Officials to not listen to their orders. Their efforts went so well that Teppler made an effort to have Rhyley pardoned of any wrong doing against Corellia.
==== Smugglers Alliance ====
Rhyley has on occasion worked for the Smugglers Alliance, having been hired for a run to the core whilst he was working with Le'xa Flint. His relationship with it's leader Talon Karrde can be said at best is difficult, Karrde has never forgiven Stargazer for not accepting his offer for a position within his organisation full time, after going on to work for what Talon sees as pointless organisations since, though with Karrde slowly aiding the Rebellion, his respect for Stargazer has began to increase.
Rhyley has used the Smugglers Alliance frequently since his first operation with them, most notably during his early time in Outmian Yakta where he was a Squadron Commander. However since Rhyley befriended Raedan Kitani, he has used Talon Karrde's organisation less.
At current Rhyley is on good terms with the Smugglers Alliance.
==== Desilijic Criminal Empire ====
Rhyley first encountered Jabba Desilijic Truire, whilst part of Le'xa Flint's crew. Having rejected numerous offers to become part of the Hutt Crimelords' Organisation, Rhyley gets an icy reception whenever he is in the Hutt Palace. His aid in thwarting Gardulla the Younger's attempt to dethrone Jabba has earned him some warrant, though Rhyley has not gone near the Hutt Palace since.
Rhyley Stargazer is on amicable terms with the Desilijic Criminal Empire both on Nar Shaddaa.
==== Black Sun ====
During his time in Outmian Yakta with it's Security Force and Squadron, Rhyley would become a big player in Xizor's attempt to rid himself of Jabba's influence on Tatooine. Having lead the rescue of Outmian Yakta's Civilians, Rhyley would come into direct confrontation with Black Sun Lieutenant, Guri. He would also face Guri at Coruscant, finding out that she was a Droid during their altercation.
Thus far he has managed to survive their attempts at killing him, though were behind the attack that cost Rhyley his left arm. Black Sun were also the Organisation that hired the Bounty Hunter, Blue, to kill both Stargazer and Kitani.
Following Xizor's decision to end his interests on Tatooine, Rhyley next came face to face with Guri, whilst posing as a Bounty Hunter on Coruscant. Along with Sava Stary, the two men managed to survive a brutal attack from the fembot along with assassin droid, IG-88. In the fall-out of Leia Organa's rescue from the Black Sun by Luke Skywalker and Dash Rendar, Xizor was killed aboard his Skyhook which left the Black Sun crippled.
The Black Sun still want Stargazer dead, however are not in a position to launch such endeavour because of constant in-fighting over who is to take over Xizor. As yet Guri's fate remains unknown.
==== The Association ====
The Association was made up of various Organisations that wanted to help Xizor destory Jabba's Empire on Tatooine, and his hold over the Outer Rim and Nar Shaddaa. The Shadow Organisation had hoped that by killing Bai'yle Norssohn and capturing Atyphe Vrydella, that they would reign in Stargazer and be able to control him, however Stargazer launched an attack against the Shadows that would effectively end this Organisation.
Since then Rhyley would come up against the Binayre and Sennex Organisations and help deal enough of a blow to their operations that they would end their time within the Association. Having been able to find details of Borvo the Hutt's involvement with Xizor, Stargazer holds leverage over his operation on Naboo.
As yet the Valarian Crime Organisation have no knowledge that Rhyley was part of the reason why their attempt to capture the city of Outmian Yakta failed so miserably. Eventually this would lead to Xizor disbanding the Association.
Thus far none of the Organisations (apart from the Black Sun) that were tied to the Association have made a move against Stargazer.
==== The Zann Consortium ====
The Zann Consortium took notice of Rhyley thanks to their hold of Dathomiri Witch, Aniwevei Chreitti who seemed to be rather protective on the young Corellian. Their efforts to counter the Empire at Yavin was an elabourate operation to capture Rhyley Stargazer, however this back fired upon the attack by Chreitti and Silri.
With Zann being captured by Raedan Kitani among others, the Crimelord would end up as a guest within the Rebel Alliance's holding cells.
The Consortium have made no attempts to capture Starazger again, however Zann has his suspicions over why Aniwevei Chreitti was so protective of Rhyley.
==== Dead Hand ====
The Dead Hand is run by Rhyley's former Crew Captain Le'xa Flint. Since Flint abandoned Rhyley at Jabba's Palace, the mercenary since began a path that has seen his Organisation have ties with various organisations from Black Sun to the Galactic Empire. It currently operates oout of Nar Shaddaa and controls the Kessel Mines.
Flint would like to see nothing more than Stargazer suffer, though has yet to make moves against his former Pilot.
Though Rhyley knows of the operation at the Kessel Mines, he has been unable to do anything about it yet.
==== Nal Raka Criminal Empire ====
Following the death of Jabba the Hutt, Borvo the head of the Nal Raka Criminal Empire seems to be targetting Rhyley Stargazer, having sent a group of hunters to capture the Corellian during a recent trip to Naboo. Though Rhyley has somesort of idea as to why Borvo may want his head, Stargazer actually has no clue the real reason the Hutt has again started becoming a nuissance.
== The Force ==
=== Staying Hidden ===
During the reign of the Galactic Empire, midi-chlorian tests were performed to root out Force Sensitives and Jedi in hiding on planets controlled by Imperials. Such individuals were rarely heard from again, be it they sent to Imperial Slave Camps, executed or trained to become part of the Imperial Inquisitorius. Many children upon their birth having been found to be Force Sensitive were ripped from their parent's arms and never seen nor heard from again. In response, an underground trade of drugs and blood treatments sprang up that could supposedly fool a test or lower one's count; however, they were largely ineffective.
Rhyley Stargazer's own Force Sensitivity was mainly kept hidden thanks to the efforts of his mother and grandparents along with help from Gern Stargazer's trusted friend Garm Bel Iblis and in part, the Rebel Alliance and eventually Taei Wynonyms. The fact that Rhyley was Force Sensitive was also kept hidden from his own biological father at his mother's request, a move that proved shrewd and calculated following the break-up of their marriage a few years later.
During the course of her pregnancy, early tests done to the child still in the woman's womb showed that the infant was growing normally and was under no-duress, it was here also that the nursing staff found out of the child's midi-chlorian count. As if by luck or coincidence, no droid was ever used in these tests, something that is quite uncommon especially on Corellia. The nurse that was attending was also sympathetic to the Rebellion and having heard of stories where children were ripped from their families, she raised the concern with the expectant mother who hurried from the clinic to her parents to relay the news.
Gern Stargazer immediately contacted Garm Bel Iblis, knowing full well that if the Empire knew his grandson was going to be Force Sensitive then the family would never see the child again. The thought did occur to Tessia Laine that perhaps she should terminate the pregnancy however she herself knew that she wouldn't be able to do such an act, not to the child or to herself. And so with the aid of Bel Iblis, using a few Rebel Insurgents under the guise of Clinic Staff, Rhyley Stargazer's medical files were altered making certain to mention nothing of the child's midi-chlorian count.
The birth of child was at the Stargazer homestead, the doctor used was one that was of Iblis' own medical personnel. Again the records show nothing of Rhyley's force sensitivity, and consequent medicals the infant would under go from then into adulthood was done so by the family's own medical doctors. Doctors that were placed by Garm Bel Iblis and were ultimately known to be loyal to the Rebel Alliance.
Rhyley was due to be informed as to his force sensitivity once he had entered adulthood and thus the knowledge of anything to do with Jedi or the Force was always kept hidden from the boy. However due to events that would change his path and that of his family, Rhyley would never learn this as was intended. Following Rhyley Stargazer's escape from Corellia and CorSec, Alliance Intelligence infiltrated the Imperial Network and further altered the information regarding to the ex-CorSec Pilot Rhyley Stargazer. His status changing from wanted in connection to Rebellious Activities to Discharged Pilot.
The Alliance however were unable to find further information on Taei and An-Taei Wynonyms who were captured during the escape. The same lengths were also undertaken to keep his sibling's Force Sensitivity hidden, however His brother's own sensitivity was found out following his capture by Imperial Forces.
Rhyley's force sensitivity is known to his mother, his adoptive father, sister, grandparents, Garm Bel Iblis along with the medical staff he assigned as well as Senior Personnel in Alliance Intelligence, High Command and those that have served with him since the Battle of Hoth. Following events on Tatooine it is also known to the Dathomiri Witch Aniwevei Chreitti, the Jedi Cayla Dunestrider and Rhyley's ex-wife Atyphe Vrydella along with the members of Stargazer's Commandos. Though unbeknown to him it is also knowledge to the Jedi Tsotha-Lanti, Jobosan Raen, Ayelia Galin, Araiya Berilac and a few Imperials in the Corporate Sector.
===Learning the Ways of the Force===
In the past, younglings that were force sensitive were taken from their parents and given to the care and teachings of the Jedi Order, to learn to focus the skills that were blessed to them by their unique connection to the Force under the watchful gaze of Jedi Masters. This was a process that they usually experienced one to one, one apprentice at a time. Each apprentice therefore had their role model in front of them constantly. Both living and working with the master, sharing good times and bad nurtured an atmosphere in which the apprentice would often learn not only to admire the master but to develop a deeper emotional relationship that would be considered almost parental-like.
After the fall of the Republic, and the rise of the Galactic Empire, such training was considered extinct however in actuality that was far from being true. Instead those born with a natural affinity to the force were either killed at birth or sometimes taken by the Empire and hidden from the galaxy for various plots and schemes devised by the few in the Empire that oversaw such happenings.
Though Stargazer was fortunate to be one of the few that slipped through the fingers of the Empire as it tightened its grip on the galaxy, the young Corellian never really had such a Master-like figure in his life until he was an adult. Though in the past he would likely have never been allowed to start any sort of force training at such a mature age, because of the dire circumstances that had befallen the galaxy this had been made possible.
====Stargazer and Vima-da-Boda====
Though Rhyley would say it was more chance that lead him to find Vima-da-Boda, the enigmatic old woman would certainly hold more faith in the Force bringing the young pilot to her on Nar Shaddaa. Having been investigating the Smugglers Moon following the death of Dessian the Bounty Hunter, Rhyley was attacked by a Trandoshan Hunter, Bossk. Having fallen from a platform, his beaten body lie dying on one of the lower levels of Nar Shaddaa when Vima found him.
Taking the young man to her home, she nurtured him back to health and began to instil some of her knowledge on the Corellian. At the time Stargazer was uncertain of this woman, though thankful of her aid, her strange behaviour and odd characteristics lead him to wonder if she was at worst mad or best senile. Though over time, he began to form a level of respect for her, and Vima's aid in helping Stargazer understand more of the Force has lead him to answer some of the questions he had regarding himself and his life at that time.
Referring to her as Granny, the old Master forced Stargazer to grow up perhaps more than many who have known the young man. The two departed each other's company on Nar Shaddaa when the old woman insisted on journeying to the Kessel Mines in order to find her next lost soul. Vima would also only refer to Rhyley as Hope, much to the annoyance of the young Corellian.
Rhyley would search for the woman almost three years after he had last seen her. Finding her near her old hut, the young Corellian was pained to see the toll that the Kessel Mines had taken on the old woman. Introducing the old woman to Kileo Dimoh, the pair would spend the day with the former Jedi Master, gaining further insight into the history of the Jedi.
Stargazer remembers his time spent in Vima's company fondly though his shins did suffer at the time. Before meeting the old woman, he found all so-called Jedi to be hypocritical egotists that did not care about those around them, deeming them unimportant next to their own ideals. Vima did much to allay these views and help mend his idea of the Jedi and his own views on his own force sensitivity. She also helped the young man to focus his control of force manipulation and his ability to lift or push things via the force improved greatly under her tuition.
====Stargazer and Kalleem====
Stargazer can only ever remember one meeting with Izard Kalleem that took place when the young man was in attendance of a dinner at the planet, Gala. However the ties between Rhyley and Izard Kalleem run all the more darker and certainly far more sinister. Having been captured at Hoth by Kalleem's Imperial Star Destroyer, Stargazer who had for a time been under watch by Kalleem's spies finally had the chance the devious Direx had been hoping for.
Kalleem unknown to many had been learning ancient Sith teachings that lead to him creating the Sithspawn, Sithspore. Born a Force Sensitive thanks to his family's power and wealth, this fact would remain unknown to all. Over time, thanks mostly to his wealth and influence, Kalleem himself would begin to immerse himself in this knowledge and learn more about this part of himself. Devising schemes to eventually take over the Empire and kill Emperor Palpatine and his puppet Darth Vader, Kalleem wanted to enlist his own apprentice. Learning of Rhyley Stargazer thanks to the capture of his brother An-Taei Wynonyms, the Corporate Sector Direx decided that he had found such a worthy Apprentice.
Forcing Rhyley to submit to Sithspore possession through a series of tortures and mental manipulations, when Stargazer was reborn as Rhykan, he served willingly as Kalleem's underling. Taught various dark techniques, when Rhykan was lost at Tatooine thanks to the efforts of Raedan Kitani and Cayla Dunestrider among others. Following news of this, Kalleem dispatched his agent Shikan to track and observe Stargazer from afar.
Since the loss of his bond to Aniwevei, dark secrets hidden in the conscious of Stargazer has begun to be unlocked. This is in part thanks to the living wound that has been inflicted on Stargazer, though his ability to call on Force Lightning stems from his training whilst he was Rhykan under the mentorship of Izard Kalleem. Rhyley recalls nothing of this period, it hidden to him by his sub-conscious thanks mostly to the sheer emotional and mental pain he suffered because of it.
====Stargazer and Qel-Droma====
thumbnail|right|Ulic Qel-Droma
Rhyley has to date encountered the spirit of Ulic Qel-Droma on two occasions and yet the young Corellian has no idea of the real connection the two men share. Stargazer is in fact a descendant of Qel-Droma, born thousands of years before Rhyley, Ulic Qel-Droma was a Jedi Master that fell to the dark side. Strangely the two share a lot of similarities in their character and personality, though their path in the Force could not have been more different.
The first time Rhyley would encounter the spirit of Ulic Qel-Droma, was during his search for his former-wife Atyphe Vrydella. At the time Rhyley had not married the young Twi'lek, and her sudden disappearance alarmed him. Thinking that she had been captured or worse killed his search had lead him towards Belderone yet a strange feeling made the young man change his destination to the remote moon of Dxun, where he encountered the spirit. At the time the spirit made little sense to him, talking often in riddle and expressing a regret, however Rhyley did at first wonder if he was hallucinating due to exhaustion. Nevertheless, this meeting did give Rhyley some sort of closure to his search for Atyphe, feeling that she had been lost to him no matter what he did.
The next time Rhyley would encounter the spirit was following the death of Aniwevei Chreitti, and the ending of his bond to the Dathomiri Witch. Reeling from his own ill health, Stargazer sought solitude on an Ice Planet far removed from civilisation. There he would stumble across the spirit, who would this time give more indication of ties that the two men shared. The fallen Master would also give warnings to Rhyley regarding his future, the bonds he was forming and his new found relationship with Cayla Dunestrider, however though his words were well meant, Rhyley refused to believe in such, and gave instead the first insight into Rhyley's true vision of the Jedi and the Force.
To date Rhyley has not realised the two spirits that he has met are both the same person, or that he is the descendant of the spirit. In Qel-Droma's charge Rhyley has learned how to control himself to some extent, as well as learning to centre himself into a calming nature, something Rhyley has always had trouble achieving thanks to his passionate character. Also Rhyley has never spoken of these visitations for fear of people thinking he has gone crazy, though part of him does want to solve the riddle of the spirit master.
=== Passing on what is learned ===
In the old times, Jedi took on younger, less-experienced force sensitives and helped begin their first steps into learning about the ways of the force and how to become a Jedi. These Apprentices or Padawans usually followed their Master everywhere, trying to help them so that they learned from personal guidance and experience. Accompanying them on missions of relative ease or dangerous tasks they would slowly walk the path to becoming a Jedi themselves.
With the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire, Jedi became a rarity as their numbers were slowly quelled in a Purge undertaken by Darth Vader and the Emperor, Palpatine. However what they could not control was the rise of more force sensitives, some of whom would slowly learn about the force through different means such as Rhyley as well as others like Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn.
Stargazer himself never thought that he would ever give instruction to others of what he had learned. This was down to the fact he was uncomfortable with the idea of the Jedi and what it meant to become a Jedi, that it had often caused the young man to get into many arguments and disagreements with those that taught the control of the Force to others or had their own vision of the Jedi.
He had played with the idea of taking Exao Gunn on at one time as an apprentice, however with Exao falling for Aniwevei, he decided it would be best he not, not wanting to be the cause of any trouble for Gunn.
==== Stargazer and Dimoh ====
Rhyley and Kileo had been close friends for a long time before Stargazer ever decided upon giving her any formal training. In fact it was only because of the difficulties that he suffered following the breaking of his bond to Aniwevei Chreitti that eventually lead him along a path to teaching Kileo some of what he knew about the force.
During a period of time away from his unit and friends on Orupia, Rhyley's connection to the force seemed to weaken. Having had a bond with Cayla and being knowledgeable of how to affect this bond, for no apparent reason the bond would grow silent and in time he would no longer be able to feel Dunestrider through the force. Upon reuniting with his friends, he could still not reach out for Cayla and so spent more time practising his force skills alone.
Having seen Kileo rescued from Imperial Forces on Coruscant, during a discussion between the pair, Kileo would give indication of her own inabilities of utilising the force. Explaining to her that he had wished she or Sava never would have learned about their connection, Rhyley gave insight into what he felt was mere meddling in their lives by those he cared about.
Seeing some frailties in her own abilities and training, Rhyley began to reach out for her in the force tentatively, trying to give details into what he does when he taps into the force and instructing her into how to be better prepared. His connection to Cayla seemingly cut off, the sudden feeling of someone close to him through the force gave the young man his confidence back.
Still inconsolable regarding her brother and giving insight into her family, Rhyley tried to focus Kileo on something to search for within herself and so began secretly instructing her. Unknown to him, Rhyley's force wound was also drawn to the new darkness that was dwelling inside Kileo.
In the days after Rhyley would ask Kileo if he could teach her about the force to which she accepted.
==== Stargazer and Kitani ====
Rhyley was asked to train Yoshi Kitani by the boy's adoptive father Raedan. Rhyley knew of the child's latent force sensitivity however for a few years before the boy was placed under his tutelage thanks to Cayla Dunestrider, who decided to inform Raedan within weeks of meeting the child.
So far, Rhyley's training has little to do with the force, and more about placing a sense of responsibility and instilling compassion into his nephew. Though he makes sure to exercise some of the child's innate abilities through simple mind exercises, sports and games.
=== Rhyley's Force Bonding ===
Born a Force Sensitive, Rhyley inherited the innate force ability to form Force Bonds. Different to the normal bond which commonly occurs between Jedi Masters and their apprentices, Rhyley was unknowingly astute in forming a bond to such a degree that it would ultimately influence the person he was bonded with as well as the ability to demoralize or inspire the minds of others, or in the practice of feeding upon the Force. Though largely unaware of this ability to easily form bonds with others, especially those that were Force Sensitive, it would trouble some of the Jedi that encountered him, causing them to shun him from their number as Rhyley had the possibility to powerfully influence those around him as well as draw force sensitives to him.
When utilising this bond, it allowed the communication of feelings, thoughts and images across vast distances, as well as the Force flowing easily, sometimes allowing him to bolster the strengths of the other, or possibly to draw upon their strengths. Thanks to his bond with Aniwevei, he was able to draw on her knowledge and even achieve some degree of aptitude in force abilities that had previously been unknown to him, enabling him to understand her abilities as if she was displaying them in front of him.
With his special predisposition to bonding, Rhyley was unable to close or sever a bond with out resulting in his own death. Also due to the nature of his ability, he was also unable to control what it was he would send across the bond, often resulting in the other person becoming bombarded with feelings, thoughts and images from Rhyley.
As yet Rhyley does not know how to harness this ability to it's fullest potential.
==== Stargazer and Chreitti ====
Unknowingly when the two first meet, Rhyley's force sensitivity was as yet unknown and hidden. When Aniwevei first encountered him, she felt an allure to Stargazer that she had not come across before. It was through the force the young witch found herself going to him more often and for no apparent reason apart from to be in his company. Due to Stargazer’s compassion and innate ability, a bond quickly formed between the two, similar in essence to that of a Master and Apprentice bond formed over a period of years.
The two were almost in synch with the other in terms of feelings, when one was feeling frustration, love or anger, then the other if able would feel this too. Even when spread across vast distances if either was to meditate then they would feel a sensing of the others presence and emotional state. Aniwevei would often feel this more specifically when aided by other Jedi or when in Force hotspots. Stargazer however would only feel Aniwevei's feelings when in close proximity to her, or when he inadvertently comes into contact with an item that has in some way had Aniwevei's force signature attached to it. This is due to his currently dormant ability in Force Psychometry.
Because of this ability, Stargazer and Aniwevei's feelings were often confused. Each other picking up quickly what the other is feeling when both are drawing on the Force. Mostly, it was a bombardment of feelings towards Evei as Stargazer continued his life without knowledge of what he was capable of until much later.
Even when Aniwevei Chreitti turned to the dark side, it was the bond she shared with Rhyley that would ultimately allow her to be redeemed. Though when Sithspore possessed Rhyley, his bond was initially broken, the bond was immediately restored when Rhyley was rescued. However, the bond would come to a final halt when her former Dark Master poisoned Aniwevei. With Aniwevei having died on Dxun, even though Rhyley was on the other side of the galaxy, he too would die.
Only after the efforts of Cayla Dunestrider, who decided to replace the bond between Rhyley and Aniwevei with one to herself, would Rhyley be brought back to life, however the wound caused by the broken bond would remain. It would remain broken for years after until Kileo finally restored Rhyley's body to normality through Sith Blood Magic. As such Rhyley's bond to Aniwevei has been fully restored.
==== Stargazer and Azumie ====
Rhyley Stargazer and Shie Azumie's bond was artificially woven when both had become possessed via the Sith creation, Sithspore. Both now fully enveloped in their evil alter egos, Rhykan had the ability to harvest a bond with Shikan. This bond however would be undone when Rhyley was eventually rescued and his identity restored and would immediately lose all knowledge he would've gained from his time spent as Rhykan.
Shikan now severed from the bond, devoted her time to finding Rhyley in order to reform their deadly connection and restore the aching she now harboured. It would remain broken for years after until Kileo finally restored Rhyley's body to normality through Sith Blood Magic. As such Rhyley's bond to Shikan has been fully restored.
==== Stargazer and Dunestrider ====
Following their first meeting, both Rhyley Stargazer and Cayla Dunestrider would try to keep their distance from the other. Cayla would learn of Rhyley's bond with Aniwevei however felt it was probably because in some shape or form the pair had been in love at some point. Conversely the true nature of Rhyley's innate bond ability would remain unknown.
Cayla remained with Rhyley when the young Rebel suddenly collapsed and entered a coma-like state on Arbra. Soon finding out that this was possibly due to the affects of the bond he shared with Aniwevei, Dunestrider remained at his side as Rhyley's condition slowly deteriorated.
When Rhyley died following Aniwevei's sudden death, due to their now broken bond, Cayla gave herself over to the force and shared the last few memories that Stargazer had been re-living. Pleading for the young man to stay and continue living she willingly opened herself to him at a crucial point, and with Rhyley's bond to Aniwevei severed, formed the bond with the Corellian Pilot that would ultimately save his life.
Though the bond was enough to keep Rhyley alive, it was not enough to heal the wound that was left behind from his connection to Aniwevei. Since then the two have tentatively learned to reach the other through their bond which served them well up to the retreat from Orupia, however when Rhyley was sent back to Orupia, after a few months Rhyley could no longer feel Cayla.
Having now returned from Orupia, Rhyley is still at a loss as to why he cannot detect Cayla through the force. Cayla too is unable to feel Rhyley, and this uncertainty caused much difficulty for their relationship before they seperated. It would remain broken for years after until Kileo finally restored Rhyley's body to normality through Sith Blood Magic. As such Rhyley's bond to Cayla has been fully restored.
==== Stargazer and Dimoh ====
It was probably apt that of all those that would form a bond with Rhyley, that it would also see Kileo Dimoh bonded with him. Rhyley would fall for the young Nabooian female before his marriage to Atyphe Vrydella, and since then continued to wrestle and struggle with his feelings for the woman during their constant endeavours.
When Kileo became Stargazer's secret apprentice, the two quickly grew closer than ever, able to link to the other during the course of their training, an early foundation for such a happening began to form. After meeting with Vima-da-Boda, Kileo was warned to not spend so much time with Rhyley, for fear that it may trigger a worsening of his force wound, going so far as to ask Kileo to sacrifice her feelings and kill Rhyley in order to save him from becoming something far more insidious.
Kileo however refused, and during a trip to Orupia used this link in an effort to save Stargazer, unfortunately however this effort backfired, granting Rhyley a link to her Orupian heritage, it inadvertently saw his wound draw more on her darker side and allowed the link to become so strong that the two were bonded as a result.
=== Living Wound in the Force ===
When Rhyley's connection to Aniwevei Chreitti was severed, it would leave a wound within the force upon the young man caused by there being a weakness in the fabric of the Force shared between the pair. Where as in the past his connection to Aniwevei had been broken when Stargazer had been possessed by Sithspore, his force connection had been artificially adjusted and the bond lay dormant (asleep), and thus had not lead to his death unlike the catastrophic events that would later befall him on Arbra when Chreitti had died on Dxun.
Even though Cayla Dunestrider had been able to almost resurrect Stargazer by implanting a bond to herself with the young man, the wound had not been closed or healed. The wound was so initially strong that it had unknowingly caused a rift in the force around the planet Talus, centralised to the Dathomiri Witch Aniwevei Chreitti. Again however no one knew that it had been because of Rhyley's taint. When Exao Gunn and Aniwevei produced an artificial bond between the pair, though it had undone what had begun to take place at Talus, Rhyley's wound to himself would remain.
This wound has remained unknown thus far to all that have been in Stargazer's company, and no one has been able to sense it or even realise what it is doing to Rhyley. Rhyley himself is also completely unaware of this wound that has been inflicted to him. The epicentre of the wound is a dark taint, barraging Rhyley with the reverberating echoes of the pain, terror, and suffering, its dark malevolence often fuels the Corellian's anger and rage when he calls upon the force.
It began to surface when Stargazer had imposed himself under exile to Rhen Var, though took more of a hold on the young man when he was embroiled in a battle against Imperial Forces at Orupia. One instance allowed Stargazer to call on the darker energies when faced with Shadowtroopers by sending several bolts of lightning from his fingers at his foes which has served to ignite a hunger within the young man's body for the dark side.
His coupling with Kileo eventually brought to light knowledge of this wound however given their continued escapades, this wound has grown considerably stronger in it's dominance of Rhyley's spirit and desire for more insidious teachings, as a result causing Rhyley to bond with Kileo.
The wound would almost take over Stargazer's soul until 8 ABY, where the Corellian and Kileo would find the Great Library on Ossus. Kileo herself locating the Sith Book of Spells was able to use Blood Magic to fully heal the wound and Rhyley's body.
=== Rhyley's Force Psychometry ===
Force Psychometry was a Force power that was a mental technique of picking up impressions and traces of information about the object touched and the events that have surrounded it. This power allowed Rhyley to view events as if they were there, including the sights, sounds, and feelings, both emotional and physical, that the wielder of the object experienced. This power was easier to use on personal objects that were used frequently. Objects that were used once or by several people often made the use of this power difficult, though it was still possible.
As such Rhyley is often seen wearing gloves, unable to fully control the power, whenever he touches someone's belongings, he is often filled with a flood of memories he is unable to understand.
=== Rhyley's Farseeing ===
Rhyley unknowingly first exhibited the ability to attain vague impressions of the future following vivid dreams he would have whilst feeling the effects of stress and fatigue. Farsight was an ability to gain an insight of events happening in other places or times using the Force. These visions focus on strong imagery and emotions. The future is always in motion, however, and is thus subject to change. Rhyley's inability to harness or even control this ability has often lead him to view these force dreams and misinterpret their meaning.
===Rhyley's Telekinesis===
Rhyley gained his use of Telekinesis through his bond with Aniwevei, however it was his time spent with Vima-da-Boda that really allowed Rhyley to improve his ability to manipulate objects through the force. With it, he could lift some objects according to his concentration and move them, hovering the items in any direction.
===Rhyley's Ancient Sith Lightsaber===
Rhyley Stargazer managed to retrieve a lightsaber mainly through accident. Whilst on his honeymoon with Atyphe, the young man was greatly affected by a dark presence. With Atyphe intrigued as to what was causing her husband to be so restless, she managed to convince him to search this disturbance. Managing to stumble across a Temple, the two ventured within and found a burial place where Lightsabers were left. Stargazer retrieved one, however was so overwhelmed by the nature of the weapon that he almost succumbed to its evil history. With the aid of his wife, Rhyley snapped away from the vision and managed to control the item he held in his hand, since then, he has kept the object.
The lightsaber belonged to a Crystinn Nibber, a former Sith Cult Member that died over a thousand years before Rhyley Stargazer would enter the Temple. Nibber had joined the Cult following the breakout of the New Sith War. Alakatha would become the sight for one of the most brutal civil wars in history; Nibber herself would kill and murder thousands as the Cult took hold of the planet's government. In time the Jedi Order would come to vanquish the Cult however Nibber and a few others escaped underground. There they would try to resurface however much of them fell due to infighting. Nibber herself was slain by her own apprentice, and was laid to rest in the Temple with her lightsaber. 
The lightsaber was originally built in 2,000 BBY, and bore some resemblance to more modern designs. The blade was gold in colour, and the hilt was made of a smooth duranium covered with a black rubber-like handle covering and encased in a metallic gold coloured finish, a silver protective plate and the emitter-casing also a gold colour.
After prolonged use of the weapon, its exterior shell and casing began to degrade and wear. Stargazer repaired the weapon as best he could manage whilst in solitude on Orupia, however most of the pomp, elegance and style of the weapon was lost and replaced with a far more simplistic and minimalist style. It was mainly silver in colouring, though the emitter-casing was stripped to show bare components and crystal replaced by a Sion Crystal he later found during his time on Orupia at Almousiqi.
Though the weapon still works as intended, thanks to the modifications and the new crystal, the noise the blade makes is richer and the blade itself far more unstable.
==The Legacy==
Rhyley Stargazer is a descendant of a Legacy that has spanned generations since the formation of the Old Republic. The Family beginning on Alderaan rose to its highest focal point with the Jedi Children Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma. Their story one of bitter twisted anger as Ulic succumbed to the Dark Side before slaying his own brother. The first Stargazer was Nev-Lan Stargazer born nearly 4000 years before Rhyley would come into existence.

== Behind the Scenes ==
* Rhyley Stargazer was initially drawn up from an idea some five years ago as a bed-time adventure story for the player's own children. The character has since changed a lot from the boy who wanted to fly amongst the stars.
* Rhyley was initially named Riley Stargazer, though this was changed to allow people to shorten Rhyley to Rhy.
* The inspiration for the character Rhyley Stargazer is based on a few sources. Obvious sources being that of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo from the original trilogy, though there is also inspiration taken from Expanded Universe characters such as Jedi Kyp Durron, Jacen Solo and Kyle Katarn as well as Pilot Jagged Fel. A more personal connection being that there are also hints of character from the player's Grandfather, Father and cheekiness of his Son along with the player's own arrogance for good measure.
* The original concept for Rhyley Stargazer had the character born on Coruscant to Tae and Tessa Stargazer. However this was scrapped following the loss of core personality traits later seen in the fully realised Stargazer character.
* Surprisingly also Tessa Stargazer was due to die whilst in labour with the child, as well as his father committing suicide not long after. Again due to loss of key character components as well as making Stargazer a lot darker than originally intended this was also changed. This also saw a revision to the name Stargazer, with Tae and Tessa being renamed Taei and Tessia Wynonyms. Rhyley held the Stargazer name.
* Further to the initial drafted death of his parents, Rhyley was due to spend time in an Imperial Force Training Camp under the tutelage of the Imperial Inquisitors, before escaping and taking refuge on Mon Calamari, where he was adopted by a Mon Calamari called Glephon.
* The only constant character that had survived all drafts with Rhyley Stargazer was his close ally Bai'yle Norssohn. Norssohn was based on the player's real-life best friend who died in combat in Afghanistan.
* His grandfather's company was only intended to be a small garage, though following subsequent re-drafts this garage soon grew to become a fully realised Shipyards, giving birth to S.S.I.
* Stargazer at first only wore three colours. Black, Red and White. This was to mimic the feeling he had upon losing his father with black signifying emptiness and red meaning death. Note he only added white to his clothing when he learned of his connection to the force, white signifying hope. The colours of the Stargazer Crest are Red and Silver, which is also similar to the colours of the Rebel Alliance.
* Rhyley's unique outlook on life and perspective of things around him would see him adopt a more controversial ideal as a Jedi, more in keeping with the ideals of the Potentium and possibly classing him as a Gray Jedi. This is also due to earlier drafts having Stargazer as a Dark Jedi Guardian rather than Force Sensitive Pilot.
* Rhyley was due to follow Aniwevei Chreitti into the Jedi project New beginnings following the incident in Kashyyyk, however this was re-written following more interesting developments happening in Outmian Yakta as well as the need to establish Stargazer more as a character and personality.
* Stargazer's Legacy was elaborated and is based upon characters the player had previously scripted from older Roleplay Forums that were set in and around the time of the popular Knights of the Old Republic series. With the new Lucasarts and Bioware Project also gathering pace and rumours forming that it may be an MMO based around this series, the player adopted the Legacy line for Rhyley Stargazer.
* The little astromech droid, R2-M5 is named after the player's son and personality includes the child's more aggressive cheekiness. 'M' being the initial of the child's given name and '5' being the age of child upon the creation of the astromech droid. Earlier use of the astro droid was merely as a progression background character and only ever referred to as 'Artoo'
* Upon initial creation Rhyley Stargazer was placed on the Starsider Server, however this was soon changed to the Chimaera Server. His profession was initially as a Jedi, though was respecced to Bounty Hunter following the Kashyyyk incident. Since then he is again of the Jedi profession.
* The anonymous female Stormtrooper Cadet Rhyley referred to as 'cute' was Jhaeda Mallarchus. Previously, the Stormtrooper Rhyley back-chatted to before his arrest was Grub. The Unknown Hooded Man on Kashyyyk was Jedi Master Tsotha-Lanti.
* As stated in the Resolution Roleplay Forums, the ideal candidate to play the role of Rhyley Stargazer in a Star Wars movie would be Jensen Ackles
* Rhyley's eventual demise towards the Darkside would happen largely through no fault of his own. The loss of his bond to Aniwevei wasn't expected to happen, and thus it lead to him forming a type of wound in the force. This had initially been scheduled to have become resolved by Aniwevei re-forming the bond with Rhyley at a later date, however this never happened and Aniwevei instead eventually formed a different type of bond with Exao Gunn.
* For Rhyley's change to Dark Jedi, the player took inspiration from the Dark Empire comics, Spiderman, Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic and the art of Hyung-Tae Kim.
