Vander

Vander was a Human male Republic Army General stationed on Ord Mantell during the Cold War.
==Biography==
General Vander was Republic chief of operations for Ord Mantell, commanding all its military forces during the Separatist War. He promoted a promising Republic Commando sergeant of the famous Havoc Squad to the rank of lieutenant for disabling the stolen ZR-57. He tasked the newly-promoted lieutenant with rebuilding the squad after defection of Commander Harron Tavus and his men to the Sith Empire. He also assigned recently-demoted sergeant Aric Jorgan as Havoc's first new member, claiming that was all he could do for the soldier whose career had been tainted by the betrayal of his comrades. Later, he contacted Jorgan, offering him to return to his previous post at Ord Mantell Infantry Command, but the Cathar refused politely, stating that his goal for a while was to capture and punish Tavus.
During the Galactic War, just before the beginning of the Revanite crisis, General Vander was in command of a Republic liberation force sent to the planet Altair 9. Following a ten-month long siege, his forces, aided by a Special Forces unit, which infiltrated the city and disabled the Imperial defensive network, captured the capital of Klemark. All Imperial defenders were either killed or captured and food as well as other aid was subsequently provided to the long-suffering populace. Vander would speak to a small collection of journalists in the hours following this victory, saying "Truly, this is a stunning victory that all Republic citizens can feel proud of!"
