## Biography

### Early life

Bruce was born on the planet Corellia with two parents and an older brother who was 10 years older than him. When Bruce was young, he was taught various skills and manners from his family such as being polite, calm in tough situations, and how to defend himself. Bruce was taught extensive melee combat skills as well as being a crack shot at shooting when he was taken to a shooting range.

Bruce also took flying lessons with his best friends from school and would blow everyone's minds when he showed off his piloting skills with almost any type of ship. On one of his birthdays, Bruce was given a flight simulator and used it everyday to practice.

### Imperial Academy

One day, the Empire arrived on Corellia to take care of anti-Imperial protestors and Bruce's family was apart of the movement. He was separated from his parents in the chaos and was taken by the Empire. Noticing his skills in flying, the Empire drafted him into the Imperial Navy as a TIE pilot, where he would spend many years in the training academy on Garos IV.

Bruce made friends with Trent Hanson while in the academy, making him his only friend on the planet. When Bruce was nineteen, he freed a captive Wookiee from the academy and escaped together on a trading vessel docked in the academy. Bruce and Hanhar fought imperials along the way and escaped to the Janno, a paradise world Bruce was planning to go to.

### Janno

Bruce and Hanhar became freight pilots on Janno under Ryo. While getting something to eat at the Trader's Luck in Paradise City, Bruce played a game of Pazaak with Jonathan Flores and Dani, which he won, angering Dani. The two got into a fight, which resulted in Bruce shooting her in the leg. Jonathan helped Bruce and Hanhar leave the scene and offered them to live with him.

Bruce met Pris Sunrider days later as well as buying his own swoop bike for his dream to become a racer. Him and Pris became attracted to each other after Bruce saved her and slaves of Janno from a pirate ship in space. Bruce learned the truth of Janno's purpose and use of slaves, so Bruce, Jonathan, Hanhar, and Pris rebelled against Ryo and freed the slaves, destroying the Canto factory in the process. They left for Talus to drop off the slaves and purchase a new ship to make them less noticeable. They traded The Janno's Hope for The Vertibird. They then left for Manaan, where Bruce became a swoop racer and won the season opener against his new rival Josque. Bruce and Pris then accidentally met Pris's parents on Manaan, where he detailed to her parents how he saved her life from the crime syndicates on Janno, which made Mrs. Sunrider worried. At night, Bruce was attacked by his old friend Trent, who was furious at him for killing a fellow Imperial Pilot and causing Trent to lose his job along with his respect from his family. The two fought, with Bruce presumably killing Trent by punching him to "death". Mrs. Sunrider called the Empire and authorities, so Bruce and everyone else ran away with the help of Rick Sunrider, Pris's dad.

They all traveled to Lok to lay low for a while. Pris finds out that her father was arrested for allowing them to escape, which she feels she is ruining Bruce's life, because now he can't continue his racing season. Bruce tells her its not her fault, but she leaves a note for him saying she is leaving. Bruce is heartbroken, but Jonathan tells him that he has to move on.

### The Gambit

Five years later, Bruce and Hanhar go to look for Pris through Kang on Nar Shaddaa. Kang tells them that she cant be found through his system, so Bruce and Hanhar come across John Hunt, who takes joins them to look for her. On Socorro, Jonathan tells him to stop looking for her, so he stops and decides to go looking for a way to meet with the Hutts to end them hunting him. They get the help of Emilia Scott and Kortez to Taris and fall into a trap by Ebor the

Hutt and Vince. They escape captivity which impresses Ebor, so he hires Bruce to be apart of his business. Bruce and his friends go to Brentaal IV for a job assigned to him by Ebor. Bruce stumbles upon Josque on the planet, who challenges him to a race, which results in Bruce badly injuring Josque. At night, Bruce and Kortez are attacked by Josque's friends. Kortez saves Bruce by accidentally killing one of the goons. The Empire is alerted to the death and chases down Bruce and Hanhar, who fail to escape with the everyone else.

### The Hunter Wars

A year later, Bruce and Hanhar were rescued by Jonathan, Kortez, and John Hunt above Denon during a prisoner transfer above the planet. Bruce and Hanhar were rescued so that they could pay off Ebor the Hutt for losing thousands of credits worth of shipments during the Brentaal job. The entire crew was tasked by Ebor's second in command, Drego, to pay the money back somehow or else they would all be killed. Emilia suggested the planet Rellia, which housed millions of credits worth of credits in the royal palace vaults. The plan was agreed upon and the heist crew recruited a Twi'lek slicer named Vao to help them. During the heist on Rellia, Emilia betrayed them to steal the money for herself and left everyone left to die from the Rellia security forces, but they managed to escape aboard the Vertibird and leave for Tatooine where they were to deliver the money originally to Drego; to eventually warn him of

Emilia's betrayal. The betrayal ended up to be much more complex as Emilia used the money as bait to have the Empire, Rebel Alliance, smuggler's alliance, and Bounty Hunter guild fight each other and destroy one another for more profit and less competition. On the surface of the planet, Hanhar, Vao, and Bruce fought alongside the smuggler's guild against the Empire and the Bounty Hunters. John got cold feet and left the crew behind after HK became damaged and Kortez was severely injured. Bruce, Hanhar, and Vao got Kortez to safety and went after Emilia, only to be sprung into a trap at Drego's estate. Hanhar was forced at gunpoint by Emilia to load the Rellia treasure along with Drego's supplies on her transport in the Dune Sea. Bruce was able to kill Drego and catch up to Emilia, killing her in standoff. Hanhar, Bruce, and Vao donated the money to Rebel Alliance and Smuggler's guild so they could advance their war effort and everyone went their separate ways except for Bruce and Hanhar.

## The Roman Wars

### The Quest for Veterum

Bruce and Hanhar lived in Coruscant's after they retired from their smuggling career, although They would regularly travel to the underworld and get into trouble with other criminals from time to time. One day the two would go to a cantina in the underworld and Bruce would gamble with the bounty hunter, Brianna, at Pazaak. Bruce would win every match due to his sneaky cheating and would later be chased by her henchmen through the traffic Bruce and Hanhar were able to escape them and return home.

Their run in with Breanna had reminded Bruce that the death mark on his head was still present from Ebor several years prior and he needed to do something about it. Bruce and Hanhar became mercenaries across the Outer-Rim to gain enough pay from jobs so they could finally stop putting off the debt and pay Ebor. The two had responded to a distress beacon near Lothal that had been a brutal battle between the Alliance the Empire. On the planet's surface, a Jedi Master named Timothy Knighten and his accomplish Andres, had called for helped to be taken offworld to the planet Danuta, the Rebel Alliance's base of operations.

Once they had reached Danuta, Bruce and Hanhar were asked for their assistance in their search for the planet Veterum which was valuable due to its potential force nexus that could be used to infuse troopers with the darkside of the force. Bruce and Hanhar took the job for a hefty amount of money and they joined the fight. Bruce and Hanhar had become attached to their new crew during the fight for the planet against the Empire. After the Rebels had taken Veterum with the assistance of Ian Gamboa, Vett, Andres, Timothy, and Louise, Bruce and Hanhar stayed with the Alliance because of the friendships they made. When they had returned to Danuta after the battle, the team was then labeled as Delta Squad.

###  Evacuating Danuta

Shortly after Delta Squad's victory at Veterum, the Empire discovered their base on Danuta through a mole in the Alliance ranks. The Alliance was tasked with evacuating the planet and set course to their secondary base of Yavin 4. Bruce and the rest of Delta Squad had been prioritized with defending the base and allowing transports to pack up and flee, so Hanhar kept the Vertibird ready in the meantime. Delta Squad's last transport off was the Vertibird and Hanhar mainly flew everyone out while some Delta Squad members mounted on the turrets and copiloted. Delta Squad and the Alliance then jumped to lightspeed and joined the Rebels on Yavin 4.

During the Rebel's move in on Yavin 4, Jonathan had arrived on Yavin 4. Bruce and Hanhar were surprised to see him and when they asked why he was present, he revealed that after the Rellia Heist and Hunter Wars, he had become a general in the Alliance. His past military experience and aid to the rebels had planted him a position amongst the Alliance and was promoted to general. Bruce, Hanhar, and Jonathan reminisce about the old times and enlightened Delta Squad on the friend's past together.

### The M4-78 Campaign

Some time after the rebels moved to Yavin, Bruce and Hanhar left the rebellion's burden and led a familiar smuggling life in space once again. A year later while on Kothlis, they were visited by Bruce's old friends Clay and Rose where they offered a job to search for the fabled M4-78, which Bruce agreed. Everyone met on Tempus to break into on the temples to find clues to M4-78. After finding the info, Bruce, Hanhar, and Rose were betrayed by Clay who almost killed them and left with the information to the planet.

Bruce and the others made a trip to Yavin to apologize and join the rebellion again. Bruce and the three others went o Onderon to find their old hacker friend, Vao, so she could hack into Vikram and Clay's database to catch up with their research and beat them to M4-78. Once they recovered Vao after a firefight in the markets, they were requested to help rescue Tim and Andres as they were captured by the Empire on Wayland. With the help of the rebels, Bruce and the crew were able to save them and return to Yavin where Andres would recover from his battle with Roman. Bruce

and the others left again after learning about Clay and Vikram's research that led to Anoat. They raced to Anoat where they found the final coordinates to M4-78 and were quickly chased through the asteroid field. They were able to escape to Bespin for repairs and meet Bruce's old friend Kortez. They were soon found by Vikram and Clay along with the help of the Empire, where Roman made a deal with Vikram to torture Bruce for the rebel base and M4 coordinates. Bruce gave them up and himself and the others were rescued by Andres who sensed they were in danger.

They all left to M4-78 after Vikram and Clay left and fought with them in the city. Clay was killed by his own grenade and Vikram was cast down in the planets core. The crew was able to escape back to Yavin where they were partake in the evacuation from the Empire as they attacked. They were able to escort everyone from the planet and find a new base for the next 3 years.

### Trap on Korban

When two bounty hunters named Breanna and Vince set a trap for the rebels Bruce and Hanhar, they were captured aboard their ship the Vertibird and taken to an abandoned cave hideout. Andres was led to the planet after looking for his missing friends. Andres was misled by Vince and knocked unconscious by Vince.
Bruce was taken to Breanna's club in a small town and beaten by her thugs for revenge for cheating in Sabacc against Breanna. Bruce was able to beat all the others men and Breanna and escape on speeder bike to rescue his friends. After he rescued his friends and Vince fled, they recovered the Vertibird in Pleasant City in a shootout and left the planet for good.

### The Crucible

During a mission to make alliances with the people on Lunara, Bruce, Andres, Hanhar, Louise, and Vett were shot down by the townspeople and their Blockade Runner crashed near the town. They were all captured by the secretive Imperial forces on the planet led by Admiral Devon. The Admiral the planets rulers agreed to put the ship's crew through the galaxies most gruesome and difficult crucible trials were the only way for them to reach the Vertibird and escape was to go through the crucible. Everyone doubted their success and believe they would die but they were able to make it through the trials. Devon was furious and called in the Game Master, Jackal, to kill them with his stolen lightsaber. He was able to injure Andres and cause pain to his robotic hand and nearly beat them to death. Bruce devised a plan to escape, but was blocked by Hanhar when he was mind controlled to kill them. Bruce was able to turn his friend back and they all escaped to Talus to change the ships codes.

The crew was followed to Talus where the Empire attacked the city to capture them. The local militia and Delta Squad fought back against the Empire and pushed back their small advance. Before more Imperials arrived, Delta Squad left Talus and returned to the rebel fleet.

### The Battle of Mrlsst

Delta Squad was tasked with investigating an Imperial research station on Talus following the siege of Talus. The research station ended up being a construction facility for a new Star Destroyer model that employed a super laser built into the ships. There were two that were constructed so far and were used in a trap for the small rebel task force led by Delta Squad. The task force retreated to their nearby outposts on the planet Mrlsst, where a large rebel fleet was orbiting the world. Delta Squad was followed through hyperspace by the Imperials and the rebel fleet at Mrlsst was attacked. During the battle, Andres was shot down on the assault frigate he was stationed on and crash landed on the planet's surface. Bruce wanted to rescue Andres, but had to prioritize the new superlaser ships instead. Louise led the charge against one of the new Star Destroyers after it had destroyed two Mon Calamari cruisers. Bruce flew the Vertibird with the *Titan* and several B-Wing squadrons to destroy one of the destroyers. The other Star Destroyer prototype evacuated the battle after the first one was destroyed. Bruce flew down to the surface after the battle was over to recover Andres, who had just defeated a dark side inquisitor that was sent to kill Andres.

### Meeting Jax

While on a recon mission to recover lost records on Yavin, Bruce and Hanhar were spotted by the Crimson Blockade and damaged by the Imperial's superior Star Destroyers. They were able to land in a nearby system for repairs on the planet Jovan III. They were aided by James Daemon for repairs that lasted a week. They were eventually found by the Empire and attacked with James being killed in the process. Jame's son Jax saved Bruce after he killed the Sith Inquisitor that was threatening Bruce. Jax left with Bruce and Hanhar to join the rebellion after his father's death and become a member of Delta Squad.

### Battle of Bespin

After Bruce had met Jax and recruited him into Delta Squad, Bruce piloted the Vertibird in the rebel's attack on Bespin. Bruce's job was to assist Blade Squadron and other starfighter squadrons in stealing Tibanna Gas and destroying the gas mines so the Empire could no longer use them while a separate assault led by Kortez would take place on Cloud City. Bruce protected transports and his fellow fighter squadron using the Vertibird and destroying stations himself using the freighter's cannons and new missile launchers. Once the rebel's job in the sky had been done, Bruce was asked to help in the fight on Cloud City. Bruce had caught word that Kortez was very injured during a run in with an agent named Thrall. Bruce found Andres and Kortez escaping the Imperial garrison and escorted them back to the Cloud City landing pads. Bruce and his troops defended the last remaining transports that were evacuating the cities civilians and essential personnel.

### The Dark Trooper Project

Following a sequence of events involving Andres and Vett's missions over the next few months, Bruce was given a new important assignment that involved another Imperial project, but this time led by Thrall. Bruce, Jax, and Andres traveled to Charros IV where they encountered Bruce's past rival Dani, who was now working with the rebel Alliance and was their contact to meet on the planet. Bruce was wary to trust Dani at first, but they were all captured by Thrall soon after, including Dani. Bruce and his friends were taken to some carbonite chambers that were built beneath the planet's surface and were being planned to be frozen as prizes for Roman, but they managed to escape through Andres's force abilities and Dani's help.

During their search for an exit, the Delta Squad members came across a databank and armory for prototype dark trooper armor. Dani sliced and took the data out of the computer to help the Alliance and everyone escaped the facility once they got the data. When they returned to the rebels, Dani showed the data to the Alliance leaders. Several spies

and X-Wing squadrons were sent to Charros to retrieve more data from the facility and were able to gain more information, but it was compromised by the Empire on Adairea. Bruce transported Vett and Dani to the planet to retrieve the lost data, and evacuated them on board the Vertibird after they were being hunted by dark troopers. Once the data was retrieved, Jax volunteered to lead the mission of discovering the dark troopers project and destroying it.

### The Dark Corsair

Bruce was sent to Tatooine by the Alliance to meet with new contacts in Mos Eisley that were willing to give information and weapons to Alliance. Bruce met with the contacts with Hanhar and the deal went smoothly. When Bruce and Hanhar settled in for the night in a hotel, the two were lured out into the Dune Sea by a bounty hunter named the Dark Corsair. Bruce was attacked by the hunter and the two got into a brawl in the desert during the night and Bruce lost the fight after Hanhar was tranquilized by the bounty hunter. Bruce asked what this hunter was after Bruce for, but he never got his chance after the hunter was shot from a sniper shot in the distance. Bruce woke Hanhar and walked to the mountains where they met with the person that shot the bounty hunter to save him. The sniper was none other than Pris Sunrider, Bruce's past romantic partner when became a swoop racer when he was nineteen.

Bruce was very emotional when meeting Pris for the first time in over a decade and filled her in to everything that he been up until this point in his life. Pris told Bruce that she had found Bruce because she needed his help to stop Ryo and his operations on Janno because of the manufacturing that was being used on the planet to aid the Empire. Bruce instantly agreed to help Pris in returning to Janno, mostly due to the fact that he missed being around her and always wanted to do anything that involved hurting the Empire or Ryo. Bruce's feelings towards Pris had overtaken his duty to the rebellion, as the Alliance ordered Bruce to return at once, but Bruce wanted to help Pris.

### Dozen Against A World

On Janno, Pris introduced Bruce to her radical rebellion base on the far side of Janno. Rushes of nostalgia had clouded Bruce's mind, so he didn't think completely straight when following Pris' orders. Bruce and Hanhar did begin to feel uncertain about the operation after learning that Pris' rebellion was only comprised of nine other fighters. The lack of numbers forced Bruce to think of new strategies that would ensure that they survived and still would do damage to Ryo's operations. Bruce, Pris, and Hanhar led assaults on Imperial manufacturing sites across the planet that built TIE fighters, ground vehicles, and weapons. The rebels used the Empire's own weapons against them, and soon enough the small band of fighters were being hunted by Ryo's forces and the Empire's. Using stolen AT-STs and

weapons that they stole, the rebels ransacked Paradise City, destroying Ryo's Headquarters in the process.

The last site that they needed to destroy was the former spice factory that Bruce had met Pris at in their youth. The factory had been transformed into a heavy vehicle factory that produced AT-ATs and other weapons. The team split up into different groups to set explosives around the building and destroy the factory. While the explosives were being set up, Ryo confronted Bruce and Pris, shooting a shot with his blaster that hit one of the explosives. A chain reaction resulted in the damage and the entire factory went into flames and began to collapse. Bruce killed Ryo in a brief shootout, but Bruce was left for dead by Pris. Bruce found Hanhar and carried the injured wookiee to the last remaining transport on the roof of the factory, but Pris shot at the pair because of the bounty on Bruce's head that she couldn't pass up. Bruce shot and killed Pris in the shootout, leaving Bruce devastated. Bruce spoke to Pris one last time before he and Hanhar got onto the ship and flew back to the Vertibird. Following the battle on Janno, Bruce flew to Manaan to find Pris' father and told him of her daughter's death. The news put him into distraught and it was last time that Bruce and him would ever talk. Bruce's return to the rebels had impressed the Alliance, but Bruce had returned hurt emotionally. Bruce had shared his story of what happened to Pris and he was comforted by his friends and Vett.

### The Inner-Rim Expansion

With the string of victories underneath the Alliance's belt, the rebels gained control in the Inner-rim on worlds that were largely ignored by the Empire. These new worlds would be used as staging grounds and supply lines for future attacks by the Alliance. Bruce and Delta Squad helped establish bases on Tor Kalla and Bestine which would become essential worlds for the Alliance to uphold for supply movement and rendezvous points. During this time as well, Bruce accompanies Vett on several missions that revolved around a new Imperial leader named Ade Turner, who had begun to establish new rule on Imperial worlds and developing a new army called the Nova Corp, which was an elite legion of stormtroopers. Bruce and Vett mostly spied on Ade's operations and had run ins with the Nova troopers from time to time, but remained hidden to Ade's scopes.

### Attacking the Ignis Hegemony

The base on Tor Kalla had been found by probe droids sent by the Empire, compromising the world for the Alliance. Louise and Andres defended the world against an Imperial attack, but while this event was happening, Bruce was beginning his new idea to learn the location of the Sun Crusher and Roman's central operations. The mission was risky, but it was now time for the Alliance to strike at the Empire's heart now that their military was stronger than ever and the Empire lost many projects. Bruce recruited the renegade Turret Company, an elite unit of soldiers and pilots that could adapt to any situation. All of Turret Company were transferred over from the battle of Tor Kalla to help Bruce in his assault on the Ignis Hegemony, where Bruce knew that the Empire was keeping their data center. After a series of operations to retrieve disguises, an Imperial shuttle, and layout of the Hegemony territory; Bruce, Jonathan, Hanhar, rebel soldiers, and Turret Company infiltrated Ignis Edge's surface by disguising as Imperials aboard a Lambda shuttle. The infiltrators make their first strike and try to contact the rebels to send in their reinforcements to Ignis Edge. Jack of Turret Company is killed in action before the fleet arrives soon after to assist. Rebel transports land on the surface to reinforce the ground assaults while Admiral Casey leads the space assault.

Delta Squad and Turret Company lead the charge on the Imperial compound on the planet's central continent and infiltrate at the expense of most of Turret Companies lives. In space, Bruce learns of Admiral Casey's death at the hands of Ade, who has arrived aboard the Sun Crusher. Racing against the clock, the last member of Turret Company, Paul, protects Delta Squad as they retrieve the data they need to find the location of Roman's citadel and the Sun Crusher's layout. Stormtroopers invade the complex to stop them, but Paul gives his life to shut the door and fend off the troopers long enough for Delta Squad to escape. Bruce and Delta Squad escape on an Imperial shuttle and as they are leaving, the planet is destroyed by the Sun Crusher. Their shuttle is intercepted by the *Harbinger,* one of the last remaining ships in Casey's fleet. Bruce hands over the data to the rebel captain of the ship and they jump to lightspeed to Bestine, followed by the Empire.

When the rebels reach Bestine, they are followed by an Interdictor Cruiser and were boarded by the Sith apprentice Mical and stormtroopers. The entire crew was slaughtered except for Delta Squad, who escaped to the surface and delivered the plans to Bastila Vermire. The rebels attacked the Interdictor cruiser, disabling it's projection well and escaping back to Hypori, where the final plans to attack Roman's capital would begin.

### The Battle of Maximus

The Empire's stronghold was found to be on the planet Maximus Prime. Bruce volunteered to lead an assault on the world by being the first strike team to disable to planetary shields long enough for a large ground force to be sent in and attack. Bruce, Hanhar, Andres, Kortez, and Timothy boarded an Imperial Star Destroyer that took off from the planet Tempus and they became stowaways until they reached Maximus Prime. The rebels disabled the shields after the Star Destroyer sent transports down to planet's surface. The rebel fleet jumped in to attack the Imperial fleet from range, while ground ships landed on the planet. Bruce, Hanhar, Kortez, Tim, and Andres and Beta Squad traveled through the Imperial City to ambush Roman in the Imperial palace. Andres and Tim confronted Roman in the bowels of the palace, while Bruce and the others compromised the palace's strategic centers. Roman escaped to the Sun Crusher after feeling overwhelmed by the Jedi. The Sun Crusher then fired on the planet's surface to wipe out the rebels on the surface. Everyone evacuated from the nuclear site, but during their escape, the group was attacked by Mical and Stormtroopers. Mical fought Bruce and Tim at the same time, almost killing Tim until Bruce threw his lightsaber into Mical's chest. Bruce's left his lightsaber behind in Mical's body as the explosion from the Sun Crusher grew larger. Delta Squad joined the space battle against the Sun Crusher after Ian Gamboa gave his life to disable the shields to the superweapon.

Bruce, Hanhar, and some rebel gunners flew the Vertibird during the space battle, to assault the Sun Crusher, Bruce dropped Tim and Andres off into the Sun Crusher so they could kill Roman and open the accessways towards the Reactor core. Andres and Tim were successful in killing Roman and now that the reactor was exposed, Bruce and starfighter squadrons flew into the belly of the station, destroying the reactor, which subsequently destroyed the station.With the station now destroyed and Roman dead, the Empire retreated from Maximus Prime and the rebels celebrated on surface of Maximus Prime. During the celebration, Louise confronted Bruce about him leaving the Alliance after the war was officially over.

### Fighting the Imperial Remnant

Bruce continued to fight against the Empire following the battle of Maximus Prime. Bruce had worked separately from the rest of Delta Squad and mostly worked closely with Vett and Hanhar instead. The rest of Delta Squad had been fighting to take Coruscant, while Bruce had been dealing with Imperial warlords taking over territory in the outer and mid-rims. After the Alliance had taken Coruscant and secured Onderon, Bruce had finally asked Vett to marry him, which she agreed to. Bruce and Vett were married on her homeworld of Onderon and the wedding was attended by both of their closest friends and family.

Bruce also became passionate about helping his best friend Hanhar in liberating his Kashyyyk. Bruce asked the New Republic for permission to lead an attack on Kashyyyk, feeling that the defenses there would be minimal. Bruce's assumptions were wrong however and his recon team was attacked and stranded on the planet for several weeks. With no contact, the Alliance sent in support to the planet to find Bruce and his team. The fleet was attacked by the Empire and the battle began. Bruce was not able to make contact with the fleet and asked for ground support to help to wookiees in overthrowing the labor camps. Troops were sent down to the surface, and with the aid of the wookiees, the Imperials lost ground on the surface. Hanhar's family however, was still being terrorized and held hostage in the villages, so Bruce and Hanhar deviated from the main group and found Hanhar's family being taken captive by Nova Troopers. Bruce fought one of them, Davik Nord, in a fight, defeating the trooper by throwing him down the trees. Hanhar took care of the rest of the Imperials and saved his family from execution. Kashyyyk was no liberated from the Empire, which made Hanhar even more grateful for having Bruce as his friend.

When Bruce returned to the New Republic at Coruscant, he was introduced to Erik Rand, who was an Imperial defector after Andres found him on Candros, and his friend Naomi. Bruce worked closely with them during the next several operations against the Empire. Bruce was sent to Zhar to negotiate with a potential Imperial Captain defecting, but his return was long overdue and Erik Rand and Naomi flew with Sapphire Squadron to find him. Bruce and Hanhar were ok and retrieved the defector, but had been hunted down the Empire. They were chased to Gall where they were reinforced by Sapphire Squadron and returned the defector to the New Republic.

#### Battle of Rakata Prime

The final battle of Roman Wars took place on the planet Rakata Prime, a desolate tropical world in the unknown regions. Bruce and Hanhar flew the Vertibird naturally in the battle, and the battle proved to be the most intense that he had fought in. The Imperial Fleet there had been comprised of many Star Destroyers and a Super Star Destroyer. Bruce flew with Blade Squadron in damaging the Super Star Destroyer, but the dreadnought escaped before they could finish it off. The battle was won by the New Republic in the end, and a new era of peace began now that the Imperial Remnant had been fended off into nothing.

### Having Children

Now that there had been a short period of peace in the galaxy, Bruce and Vett conceived two children, Angela and Andrew Starkiller. Bruce and Vett continued to find himself busy with New Republic work, so they would often have their two children cared for by TC-6 and Vett's handmaiden. When Bruce did get to see his kids, he loved them deeply and cared for them at every waking moment. Bruce and Vett had truly been happy and peaceful for the first time in years now that no wars were interfering with their lives at the moment.

### The Imperious Crisis

Peace did not last long however, as the Imperious Coalition, a darkside based Imperial faction was at large and attacking the Republic at all fronts. Bruce Starkiller was pulled into the conflict after being publicly threatened by Josque, who was the new leader of the faction after Mical's death at the hands of Andres. Bruce felt it was his duty to track down Josque and put an end to their rivalry, which Vett was completely opposed to. Before Bruce embarked on his journey, Andres gifted him a new lightsaber to replace the one he lost on Maximus Prime. Bruce and Delta Squad pursued the Coalition's movements and learned of their intention to located the lost Rakatan Construct

Fleet, which was rumored to have unspeakable power. Delta Squad raced them to the planet Alba in the unknown regions and a battle between them and Josque's militia took place in the White Palace. When Josque activated the fleet and unleashed it on Coruscant, Bruce and Jonathan boarded the flagship before it jumped to lightspeed. During the fight over Coruscant, Bruce and Josque fought in a lightsaber duel. Bruce barely won the fight by impaling Josque with his lightsaber. With Josque dead, Bruce and Jonathan deactivated the Construct Fleet by destroying the central flagship from the inside before the fleet could wipe out the Jedi Temple and the rest of the planet. The Jedi were in Bruce Starkiller's debt after the crisis and his name was immortalized as the Hero of Coruscant by the galaxy.

## Personality and Traits

Bruce was a very humorous person who loved to have a laugh but also knew when to be serious. He was very polite to others but could be mean when he needed to, specifically his enemies and people he disliked. Bruce was also very easily annoyed, either it be from "stupid" conversations or the way someone acted. Bruce also cared much about his friends and their safety, never letting them be pushed around or left behind.

**Blaster -** Bruce used a personally modified DL-44 with a more comfortable leather grip, power shot mode, rate of fire adjuster, and cooling flush adjustments.

## Relationships

**Vett -** During the Roman Wars Bruce became attracted to Vett, one of his members on Delta Squad. The two had become frustrated with each other as Vett couldn't confess her attraction and the fact he left the rebellion for a year. The two eventually fell for each other on the Vertibird during their mission to stop Vikram and Clay from finding M4-78. The two became married after the war and gave birth to two children.
