==History==
Founded by 0 BBY, the organization attracted the attention of the Alderaanian Rel during his time as a student. Rel felt privileged to have grown up on a planet as prosperous as Alderaan and joined the organization as a way to give back after completing his studies. Because he was off-world working for the organization, Rel was not present for the Destruction of Alderaan by the Galactic Empire and the death of his family. Shortly thereafter, the work he was doing with the organization began to feel empty next to what he considered to be the evil of the Empire. Several weeks later, in 0 ABY, Rel left the organization and was recruited into the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Sometime later, while enlisted with the Rebellion, Rel was working as a scout during a battle against the Galactic Empire on the Outer Rim moon Shard when he ran into his childhood friend, Max, who was on the opposite side of the battle as a cold weather assault stormtrooper. The pair called a truce and talked about their lives since they last saw each other. Max was particularly surprised that Rel had left his charitable work to become a soldier.
