* New Republic Marshall

**Carasynthia "Cara" Dune** was a human female Alderaanian who was seasoned warrior that was assigned as a marshal of the New Republic.

## Backstory

Carasynthia Dune was a native of Alderaan, a planet in the galaxy's Core Worlds. In 0 BBY, while Dune was off-world, the entire planet was destroyed by the Galactic Empire using the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station. This act, which was soon dubbed "The Disaster" by other off-world Alderaanians. singlehandedly killed everyone Dune knew and cared about. Dune went on to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic and served as a Shock trooper, an occupation she would continue to hold under the successive New Republic, during the Galactic Civil War. Dune saw most of her action after the Battle of Endor hunting down former Imperial officials who had become warlords. After the Imperial warlords were seemingly gone and the Alliance became more politically organized, the Alliance focused more on peacekeeping tasks such as escorting delegates and suppressing riots. Dune came to regard these as tasks she had not signed up for. As a result, she left the Alliance and reinvented herself as a mercenary, putting her days of military discipline behind her.

## Bio

### Personality

Not wanting to protect delegates or suppress riots, citing that it was not what she joined the rebellion for, Dune left the New Republic, moved past her days of military discipline, and reinvented herself as a mercenary. The destruction of her homeworld by the Empire left her with a virulent hatred of Imperials, to the extent that she immediately agreed to take part in a plan to kill the Client upon being informed that he was an Imperial, despite having repeatedly declined prior to learning that detail. She was also unwilling to be captured by Moff Gideon, fearing the punishment that the Imperial remnant would inflict upon her. When Karga offered her a place in the Bounty Hunters' Guild, she expressed clerical concerns about her chain code, though Karga revealed they would be of no worry if she became his enforcer.

Dune was a woman who kept her emotions and personal feelings tightly under control, but the loss of her homeworld remained an open and sore wound. She wore a tattoo of the Rebel starbird under her left eye called a tear, by which she was recognized as a survivor of Alderaan. When confronted by Carson Teva on Nevarro over whether she lost family there, Cara bitterly told him she lost "everyone." When she rejoined military service as a marshal of the New Republic she was initially reluctant to do anything that would constitute an abuse of that position and power, she relented in the interest of saving Grogu and for another shot at the Empire.

## Skills and Abilities

A seasoned warrior who had served as a rebel shock trooper, Dune was a crack shot with a blaster and an intimidating brawler. Highly skilled in hand-to-hand combatant, she was able to fight Din Djarin, an accomplished fighter in his own right, to a standstill during their first encounter. Later, Dune fought a male Zabrak in a tavern on Sorgan, overpowering him and causing him to tap out. Dune's small frame often belied her true strength, which she demonstrated by holding Djarin in an arm wrestling contest, confidently stating that he could not beat her. During their first encounter, Dune was able to knock him to the ground with a single blow to his helmet.
