Dr. Oppen's Research Team

Brought together by agent Balken Oppen in order to pursue scientific curiosities, the Research Team is composed of a few select individuals that posses either great intellect or skills that further the goals of the team. Currently, there is no real "leadership" within the group, Balken simply coordinates the group's activities so that each member is kept appraised of what each other member is doing.

## Notable Personnel

The Research Team's size and capabilities varies depending on the needs (and funds) of the group, with some help hired for short times as work on an experiment progresses. However, there are certain individuals that Balken has formed personal ties with that form the foundation of the group.

* Dr. Maronea
* Vincent Pierce
* Cratala

## Notable Assets

While the assets of the Research Team are as interchangeable as its personnel, there are some pieces of equipment that are personally owned by the permanent members, and are frequently used by the group in completion of its objectives.

* **The *Iron Stag***: Vincent's personal transport, a HWK-290.
* **Shiva**: A Wrix given to Dr. Maronea by Vincent via Balken. It originally served as an experiment for growth-enhancing supplements, but now serves as the Selonian's faithful guard-cat.
* **The *Farseer***: A Wayfarer-class transport purchased by Balken to serve as the Team's mobile headquarters. Most of the cargo space has been converted into personal laboratories.

R2-M5 a Prototype Rebel Astromech. Designed with espionage and versitilty in mind.

## Early Years

R2-M5 is a prototype astromech given to the Rebellion by a mysterious benefactor. He specializes in infiltration and information extraction. When the Rebellion began working with the Shadow Broker they sent R2 to work with the agents.

## Career as a Broker Agent

Since joining the Broker's agents R2 has put his skills to great use. Such as the time he sliced the Huttball arena in SotB 47: Jiramma Drama or the time he worked with several other Broker Agents to recreate a signal that was driving the 'Stormbeasts' insane and slicing all the Imperial ships and having them transmit the signal to get the beasts to attack them while leaving the Rebel ships alone during the evacuation during Onslaught on Arda I. More than once he has used 'droid invisibility' to his advantage. The fact most people ignore droids in their day-to-day life makes R2's missions a lot easier. During Onslaught on Arda I, Part 3 R2 was able to break in to a building while an alarm was going off and Stormtroopers where searching the building.
Jokan Benn

**Character**: Jokan Benn
**Species**: Human
**Career**: Ace
**Specializations**: Pilot, Rigger
**Player**: James C.

## Early Years

Jokan Benn was born into a family of shippers and merchants in the Corellian System. His father ran an intra-system shipping company, primarily moving industrial goods from the orbital factories to outbound depots and on-planet warehouses. Jokan started flying for his family at 16, and by the time he left school he was running some of the most lucrative routes.

However, the life of a shipper left him gradually unfulfilled. As time went on, the Empire put more pressure on the Diktat to control the sector. After some particurally egregious rules that negatively affected his family's business, he utilized some contacts from his grandfather and found the Rebellion and the Broker.

## Career as a Broker Agent

Jokan was one of the founding members of the second Coronet Cell and served as the primary pilot for the group. While he was forced to split time between the Broker and the Rebellion, he rarely found the two in conflict. Even during SotB XIX: Rebels Pirates and Spies, Jokan was able to sucessfully mediate a compromise between the group and the Rebellion.

Once the Coronet Cell was forced to flee the safehouse during the events of SotB XX: Without a Trace, Jokan became the steward of their new home, the Sunflare, their Citadel-Class cruiser named for their fallen comrade, Jasper Sunflare.

Kat'ik

## Backstory:

Through Kat'iks family Kat'ik was onced honored enough to be trained as imperial honor guard (the red guards with force pikes) but one night after coming home from training Kat'ik family was murdered and Kat'ik left to find out why, but still feels dutybound to become a guard. As the guards must swear and prove alegiance of the highest manor to be a red guard and takes years of training and missions to make your way into the Emporor's chambers.

Kat'ik left with his force pike and red training robes,and his pack of  training supplies (surveliance & restraint devices) and went off to find information but first he needs credits so offers himself up to get jobs from the Broker in exchange for credits and information.

## The Royal Guard:

based out of the Imperial Royal Guard Academy on Yinchorr, a barren planet rendered lifeless by genocidal airstrikes by the Empire. Candidates for tutelage under the Academy, picked from various units in the Imperial Military, underwent rigorous training programs designed to build a sense of extreme loyalty to the Emperor, with students often being forced to kill each other in live combat. Guardsmen were trained in various forms of martial arts, including Echani. Guardsmen were commonly equipped with vibroswords and force pikes, in addition to heavy blaster pistols for ranged combat.

## Working with the Broker:

Kat'ik has upgraded his weaponry to a electrostaff and DHX rifle

After working for the broker and hearing stories from the other agents, Kat'ik decided to pledge his protection to Jasper but after Jasper was killed during a imperial raid as well as the rumors of Kat'iks family killed by imperials he has pledged himself to be dutybound to the Broker as well as feeling disgraced of letting Jasper be killed.
Scorekeeper's Collective

## Description

Based in the Outer Rim on the Planet of Orvax IV, The Scorekeeper's Collective is large collection of Trandoshan's that believe that economic superiority will gain them **Jagannath** points. They have a large stake in the black market of the Outer Rim but have worked an uneasy truce with the Hutt Cartels. They deal in anything caring little for it's legality and slaves make up a large portion of their profits. They are a large organization and often act as the middle men for Trandoshan mercenary companies when it comes time to sell loot and or secure contracts.

Trandoshan's are always treated favorably but they are not disrespectful towards other species as they are consummate professionals in all their dealings.

## Interactions with the Broker Agents

During the events of Hunting For Answers part 2, the Broker's Agent's attacked a train holding an agent of the Broker in hopes of rescuing him. Due to some well played maneuvers and lucky timing the team was able to extract the friendly target but get the Yiv Yavar blamed for the whole incident.
Soldiers Without Worlds

An organization formed during the end of the Clone Wars by an unhappy General known as the Boss. He felt that Soldiers were being sent to their deaths for meaningless reasons. The Boss recruited many brilliant and talented soldiers to his cause and has used his military connections to get his organization left alone by the Empire. The Boss secretly wants to dispose both the Empire and the Republic so that individual worlds can rule themselves without the interference of a galactic organization.

The organization has plants in many organizations and there are few places it doesn't have someone in place.

## Organization

Members of SWW are given a codename that consists of two parts. Commonly a descriptor and an animal, or an emotion and an animal, or at times two Animals.

## Feelings Towards The Broker and The Agents

The Broker is viewed as a possible threat to the SWW due to the sensitive nature of the organization but this doesn't mean it views all of the broker's agents as automatic threats. The SWW will protect their data at all costs but do not feel a need to go out of their way to harm Agents of the Broker.

Their currently attitude would best be described as Cautiously Optimistic.

## Group Obligation

If their Group Obligation is rolled: A regular mook will be upgraded to be an agent of the Soldiers Without Worlds.

One of the last surviving members of the Broker cell based in Moenia, Naboo.

## Early years

Before working for the Broker, he had a short stint as an acrobat with a traveling circus. Though proficient with blasters, he often uses a whip in combat, having learned a thing or two from the circus's animal trainers.

## Career as a Broker Agent

Though he hadn't worked for the Broker long, Rogesh quickly proved to be one of the best infiltrators in the Moenia Cell. He was a member of the team that gained an early foothold in the Imperial research facility on Naboo. Unfortunately, when his team's identities were compromised during the events of SotB XX: Without a Trace, he was the only agent to escape the facility. The only other members of the Moenia Cell known to survive were Foro Sendi and Jaan Norz, who were meeting with the Coronet Cell at the time.

Bastion

An ancient virtual reality construct activated by the fusion of the Topaz of Triumph and the Ruby of Despair in SotB XIV: Twelve Faces of Fear. At the end of the adventure, the deadly events were revealed to be all part of a completely immersive VR simulation.

*"I was created as a last ditch effort against the Infinite Empire, but in your databanks, both organic and inorganic, you carry no personal memories of my makers or their foes. You are not Kwa, but you are not Rakata, either. Thus, I allowed you to face your fears without being consumed by them. Your total score was above average. However all of you, without exception, can perform with greater efficiency. I am Bastion and I am here to train you."*

Days experienced within Bastion's VR sessions generally take several hours in real time. The simulations are used sparingly, as the mental exhaustion after a full session requires rest and Bastion itself goes into a recharge cycle lasting anywhere from a day to a week.
Hrosma Krayt

The Hrosma Krayt is a custom-built YT-1000, captained by Erla Campbell. It was commissioned in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars to ferry a strike teams to clandestine missions behind Separatist lines. Four unknown Jedi were frequent passengers, and apparently fought an ancient Sith, deep within the moon of Lowa.

It continued to serve in the Imperial Navy until it carried a unit of Shadow Troopers to a small frontier town. The town was massacred and the troopers brought back gruesome souvenirs. Colonel Campbell and his crew felt they could no longer serve the Empire. They poisoned and executed the Shadow Troopers, although one crewman was killed in the revolt.

Afterward, Campbell and his crew began wearing their Republic Navy uniforms again. They kept flying by doing transportation and shipping for the Broker's Network. During Grinding Gears, they transported several Coronet Cell agents to the planet Coria. After the events of the mission, Erdogan Cael and Saber Scintel were able to convince Colonel Campbell to join the Rebellion and the Broker's Network.

The Hrosma Krayt also transported Broker agents during the events of The Sound of His Horn.
Captain COMPNOR

## Holovid Series

Portrayed by the actor Barrett Travik, Captain COMPNOR is the lead character of the popular holovid series of the same name.

From the opening theme of Captain COMPNOR:

*“It is a dangerous time for the forces of order and honor. As the Galactic Empire fights to restore peace against the warmongering Rebel Alliance, equally unsavory factions attempt to capitalize on the chaos.*

*Join Captain COMPNOR and the crew of the Imperial Star Destroyer Glory as they patrol the galaxy in the name of Truth, Justice, and the Imperial Way!”*

## Elite Agent

Very few know that Captain COMPNOR is in fact an elite Imperial agent and master of disguise. He has clashed with the agents of the Broker on multiple occasions. However, it wasn’t until after the assault on the Coronet Safe House that his multiple identities and true extent of activities undermining the crew were pieced together.

## Appearances

SotB VI: The Price is Might

Placed a tracker on the crew’s ship on Torvu IV after a fake inspection. Ambushed the crew later on Nar Shaddaa.

SotB IX: Cold Comfort

Befriended Jasper Sunflare and allied himself with the rest of the crew. Raced upstairs to fight off a Defel Assassin, but after taking care of the threat, ordered his men to continue firing their blasters. With the pretense of a much longer battle upstairs and out of sight of the crew, Captain COMPNOR was able to sneak into the crew’s quarters and plant proximity trackers in their luggage.

SotB XIV: Twelve Faces of Fear

Posed as the grad student assistant of Professor Enev Nomwec. Sabotaged the crew’s hyperdrives.

SotB XX: Without a Trace

Assaulted the Coronet Safe House along with Amunet and Shorin.

Beyond the Rim I: The Tale of the Sa Nalaor

A fleeting glance from Kii’Vera through a crowd revealed a man who looked similar to Captain COMPNOR’s most recent disguise.

## Biggest Fan

Jasper Sunflare, one of the Broker’s agents was a huge fan of Captain COMPNOR’s holovid series. When he met his idol while vacationing in Corfai, the two hit it off quite well. Whether or not Captain COMPNOR’s actions were all just a ploy to gain information, he did seem genuinely distraught at Jasper’s death in SotB XX: Without a Trace.
Queen Ophilia

Born onto that most-sublime line of Traxians that can trace their lineage all the way back to the founding of Traxus and beyond, Ophilia found herself quickly burdened with the fate of her world far before she was truly ready to lead. Still a young girl when her parents, the previous monarchs, took ill after a plague of Sorian Flu swept through the colony, Ophilia became dependent on the Royal Court of Traxus to help her navigate through the thick mire of politics.

However, she was doomed from the start. The Court had no intention of training the young queen in the art of statecraft, and instead shoved her into a gilded cage while they took the "responsibility" of dealing with the corporate presence on Traxus. Because of this, Ophilia was rarely kept appraised of how the colony was abused for the sake of corporate interests, and was blind to the corruption of the Court as they soothed her with empty praise.

It was only after she reached maturity did Ophilia try to take on the duties she thought a proper queen should have, and this turned the Court against her. Most of the former nobles shed their titles in favor of employment in the industries that had entrenched themselves on Traxus, while some stayed in their positions to use their power to politically paralyze the monarch.

This shutout lasted until the discovery by Heavie Engineering that disrupted the order of Traxus. The corporations quickly tried to seize power in order to prevent word of the discovery escaping the planet, and Ophilia found herself on the run, spared capture through the sacrifice of the few loyal retainers she had.

Hiding in the lower parts of the capital, Ophilia encountered Vincent, and was able to confide in him her troubles. Through the Rodian hunter, the queen was able to get in contact with the agents of the Broker, and ask (under the disguise of an alias) for them to help restore the old order. Unfortunately, both she and the agents were tricked by the machinations of an Imperial Security Agent going by the name of "Phy'ria", leading to an occupation of Traxus by the Empire. (SotB XXII: Cutting the Red Tape)

Initially furious at the agents for assisting the Empire, however unknowingly, Ophilia's anger was tempered with the knowledge that she still had a chance to escape, and find help for her people somewhere in the galaxy.

After escaping aboard the Sunflare, Ophilia quickly departed from the agent's company. She is currently searching the region around Traxus for support in her attempt to liberate her world from Imperial control. Due to the guilt of contributing to her misfortune, Vincent is currently assisting Ophilia in her quest, transporting her from system to system while serving as her bodyguard.
General Mathis Wei

## Biography

Mathis Wei was born on Coruscant the son of a Commander in the Republic Navy and Captain in the Republic Marine Corps. He grew up on the ship named Grandest Peace. It was stationed in the Mid Rim set to patrol around Lowa. At the age of 18 he joined the Republic Navy as an Officer. 25 years in he found himself immersed in the Clone Wars as the Captain of a Consular-class space cruiser that was designed for dropping off tanks and soldiers into battle. During his first proper battle the jedi and command staff Clones were killed in a rocket attack leaving Captain Wei to take charge and lead them into battle.

Wei had a knack for tactics and the men serving under him always seemed to do better and be more capable then under others and he earned a reputation for being a capable Naval officer as well as a Capable planet-side leader. He was offered a position under a General known as Jack David and lived out the rest of the war assisting in large-scale battles and secret black ops.

During the creation of the Empire, Wei resigned in disgust at the direction the Republic had taken. Suddenly being non-human was akin to a crime. He had served with fine aliens and dealt with them near his whole life. It wasn't long until Senator Bail Organa personally contacted him for his expertise in fighting guerrilla warfare. At first Wei resisted not wanted to turn on the people he felt he had served. When the Tarkin Doctrine came into effect though, Wei jumped at the chance to help the Alliance.

He led the armies of the Alliance against an imperial factory world in the Outer rim to a major success that allowed the capture not only of the planet but nearly the entire enemy force. Thanks to the help of the Agents, Wei was able to take the planet with minimum casualties.

He is currently leading a black ops operation on the planet of Coria where an Imperial Intelligence 'Recruit' Training center has popped up after the last inhabitants were forced out.

Shorin

## Background

A male Etti Inquisitor first encountered at the end of “SotB X: When the Sun Refused to Shine.” A former Jedi youngling and Hank’s best friend, he was captured while attempting to escape into The Works. Instead of being slain like most of his comrades, he was converted to the Dark Side and inducted into the ranks of the Inquisitorius.

## Abilities

Lithe and graceful like many Etti, Shorin is a deadly practitioner of the acrobatic Ataru style of lightsaber combat. He is also quite proficient with the use of Force Move. However, the most powerful weapon in his arsenal was the ability to manifest the Force Wraith known as Lament. Though the entity was destroyed by Jasper Sunflare, who sacrificed himself to do so, the process of creating and binding Force Wraiths is shrouded in mystery.

## Appearances

SotB X: When the Sun Refused to Shine

Ambushed the crew after the successful completion of their mission. With the aid of Lament and Pinpoint, an advanced probe droid, the Inquisitor proved more than a match for the Broker's agents. However, the timely arrival of Gida Luroon and the Sunken Crater Raiders forced Shorin to retreat.

SotB XIV: Twelve Faces of Fear

Led the Imperial assault team that captured nearly half of the crew. Ordered Lament to transform Jasper into a Force Wraith, but the plan was thwarted by a swooping ruping rescue, courtesy of Erdogan Cael.

SotB XX: Without a Trace

Assaulted the Coronet Safe House along with Amunet and Captain COMPNOR.

## Interrogations

Shorin has no qualms with torturing information (often fatally) out of anyone who has had contact with Hank and his fellow agents. His first victim was Yarroq, the former leader of the Sunken Crater Raiders. The next was Typhoon, a bounty hunter and associate of Durin Boge first encountered in SotB VII: Son of Fortune. Shorin also interrogated Sunny and the Black Seraphs. None of swoop gang members were killed, as they readily gave up information on the Broker's agents and agreed to help Amunet infiltrate the Coronet Safe House.
Bleached Dragoons

A gang thought by its members to be formed out of a simple mischievous desire to make a ruckus against the entanglement of politics with corporate greed, the simple street toughs and swoop-racing enthusiasts had no idea that they were part of an Imperial conspiracy to spy on the corporate affairs on Traxus.

Brought together by an Imperial Agent disguised as an old streetwise crimeboss, Phy'ria, the Bleached Dragoons were an up-and-coming gang built with the intention of supplying Phy'ria with the knowledge and manpower she needed to watch over the efforts of the local corporations, without attracting attention.

However, events quickly spun out of control not long after Phy'ria had established the gang in the industrial-sector of Traxus' capital. The corporations quickly locked down on the government and the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA) was called in to suppress any sedition against the new order. Phy'ria found herself powerless to call in the support she needed to counter such an aggressive tactic, so she decided to be patient, working within the Traxian criminal network to establish a group that could help oppose the Authority, the Traxian Syndicate.

Unfortunately for Phy'ria, the gangs and rackets that comprised the Syndicate would not bend to her influence so easily, as they respected skill and force over subtle manipulation. Phy'ria would need to prove the Bleached Dragoons superiority over the over groups before she could coordinate the various criminals to do her bidding. Luckily, she was provided the perfect opportunity in the form of a swoop race, which would feature all the gangs in the Syndicate riding for the sake of embarrassing the CSA police state. Her luck continued when her gang's racer, Rever, ran across a specially-armed group of individuals, agents of the Broker, one of which was able to modify his ride into a racing-beast. With their help, Rever led the Bleached Dragoons to the top.

After recognizing that these individuals had more skill than most of the Syndicate combined, Phy'ria accelerated her plans and tricked them into helping her contact the Empire. While her plan did work, it led to her capture by the agents, leaving the Bleached Dragoons leaderless in the face of an Imperial occupation. (SotB XXII: Cutting the Red Tape)

Rever, having built a bond with one of the agents, Jokan Benn, was inspired by his new-friend's words to survive and fight back against the new establishment. In the chaos of the first days of the occupation, the swoop-racer was able to rally his ganger comrades and keep the Bleached Dragoons whole, even while the Traxian Syndicate fell apart. Even as stormtroopers patrol the streets of Traxus, the Dragoons defiantly take to the skies.
Reego Bestuk

Specialization(s)
 Race
 Player
 Nickname

## General Description

Reego Bestuk is a male Rodian, often disguised as a janitor, who often orchestrates terrorist bombings and enjoys employing riddles and rhymes in a form of largely ineffective psychological warfare.

## History

### Early Life

Reego was born into a small clan of very nasty rodians who had very little regard for sapient life. Beyond the blood ties, he never felt too attached to many of his family members and often preferred being alone and keeping his numerous schemes to himself. He'd always been an idealist, but his ideals would often change by the day, and while he was eager for a cause to fight for, he never found himself sticking with one for very long. For Reego, it was always resistance for the sake of resistance.

He joined up with many different rebellious outfits over the years, from mercenaries to outright terrorists, learning how to make the biggest, most violent difference he could. Having not had much of a relationship with his clan, and thus not much recognition from his parents or clan leaders, he was desperate for ways to express himself and capture the attention of others. So, naturally, he happily trod the path of the mad bomber.

### Career with the Broker

During a particularly eventful spree of guerrilla attacks against the Imperial establishment, Reego was approached by the Broker's network with a lucrative offer that tickled his fancy in numerous ways. After a very short round of negotiations, he was adopted into the Moenia Cell and enjoyed a very interesting career alongside his fellow agents. However, after the cell's betrayal at the hands of Rogesh Vai, Reego's whereabouts and status have been a mystery.
Gōtham

**Character:** Gōtham

**Species:** Wrix

**Career:** Beast

**Specializations:** Mount

**Player:** Taylor S.

## Early Years

Gōtham was born on Felucia. While just weeks old his parents were both killed as they attacked the Broker's agents. Those agents discovered the now orphaned Gōtham and chose to take him in. It was at the Broker's safe house that young Gōtham spent his time, being cared for by all of the Broker's agents.

## Career as a Broker Agent

With Gōtham now having grown large enough to be ridden by the fearless future pirate king chimagura, he is ready to begin working in the interest of the Broker. All eyes are upon the young wrix to see how he handles himself in the face of danger. It is now Gōtham's job to keep chim chim safe and likewise it is chim chim's duty to protect and watch over Gōtham. The galaxy holds its breath in anticipation of the new dynamic duo.
Dregam Orzos

Dregam is the cook aboard the Eclipse. He is an older Dresselian known for his versatility, resourcefulness and unexpectedly friendly attitude.

## Life Before the Rebellion

Before leaving Dressel to join the Alliance's fight, Dregam owned a tavern located on the continent of Breehara, near one of the planet's larger city-states. He was a good friend to the local guerrilla fighters and would shelter them or offer them free food and supplies in order to fuel their efforts against the Empire's occupying forces. He kept his distance from the conflict, choosing to help his people only when he could do so safely, but found himself drawn further into the fight when his son decided to join the resistance fighters. Dregam didn't argue with his son's decision, knowing the high value his people place on their freedom.

Dregam's son died less than a year after joining the Dressel Resistance, prompting him to close down his tavern for a time. He was caught between two feelings: his want to fight the Empire and his need for some space from his home world and the painful loss incurred there. The next time the Bothan liaisons made their rounds to Dressel, Dregam demanded to go with them.

## Career with the Rebellion

He was placed into an infantry unit initially, and served a dual-role as their quartermaster and cook. From his time on Dressel, he had a fair amount of hunting and camping experience, which made him a valuable asset to his comrades. Before long, he'd garnered a reputation for being able to make something delicious out of any situation, either by hunting down a rare beast or preparing seemingly mundane meals in surprising and creative ways. He also eschewed most high-tech cooking implements, instead preferring to build his own fires, harvest his own ingredients where possible and use more hands-on methods.

Despite his age, he was kept on the front lines just for the boost in morale he provided. The younger soldiers he surrounded himself with all reminded him of his son, and his need to protect and care for them was appropriately intense. On one occasion, during a skirmish in the Mid Rim, he joined the fighting elements of his unit in battle, even putting himself at great personal risk in order to rescue a small group of young recruits that had been pinned down. He suffered a grievous injury in the process, though, which ruined his mobility. Not trusting of cybernetics, he refused a replacement or treatment and instead accepted a transfer to a new post aboard the Eclipse, where his injury wouldn't be as limiting.
Elegant Raccoon

## Biography

The true past of Elegant Raccoon has been revealed. He was a youngling at the Jedi Temple who escaped during the night of chaos. He was rescued by a Jedi Master and Jedi Knight that had returned before they received Obi-Wan's warning. It wasn't long before he was separated from Master Orto and Knight Rabca. With what he had learned in his short time with them he became a smuggler for a time.

Elegant Raccoon smuggled for a time before he met The Boss. The Boss saw a great potential for leadership in the young man and approached him with an offer of work on a specialized team based on Infiltration. Raccoon quickly learned to use the force to make others think he was supposed to be there or even at times their best friend. He always avoided excess violence and bloodshed looking back on the teachings of the Jedi as a guiding force.

Elegant Raccoon was also adept at scavenging and maneuvering in the dark corners of the world and so earned the Title Raccoon. Combined with his ability to convince others he was awarded Elegant.

---More Information May be added as missions Progress---

## Interactions with the Broker's Agent

Elegant Raccoon had attempted to use the agents of Grinding Gears 2 to deal with a problem he felt was a galactic threat but his motive was to draw attention away from the SWW operations on the planet that he thought the team was here to investigate. He handed over the Arm of Gray Fox to D4RT and ended up in a lightsaber duel with Agent Surly. He was rescued by the Agents after the mission went sideways and an Imperial vanguard led by the Star Destroyer "Mourning-Star" arrived to take over the Station and the Planet.
Reo

**Character:** Reo the Jawa
**Species:**Jawa
**Career:**Technician
**Specializations:**Mechanic, Demolitionist
**Player:**Kyle L.

## Early years

As a youngling, Reo was always inquisitive and adventurous. He shared the seemingly species-wide love of technology, but his was almost an obsession. Constantly tweaking and modifiying his clan's sand crawler would lead him to many a trouble in those times. It wasn't long before Reo started to venture off on his own, and this led him to a shipship parked in the middle of the dunes of Tatooine.

Being able to board a starship was just too much for the Jawa to ignore and he sneaked on board while the crew was away and the sentry left behind was napping in a chair by the loading ramp. He lost himself for hours studying and learning the inner workings of the marvelous machine before he was caught while the crew of the ship returned in a hurry, fleeing some Hutt gangsters.

After the initial shock, they took the Jawa in as a mascot of sorts, especially since he didn't mind working on the ship for free and even performing janitorial  duties. While working for this team, Reo ended up leaving the ship while it was parked at the wonderful city of Coronet, and he quickly lost himself to all the technological wonders aviable for sale. When he was returning to the ship, Reo saw his crewmates were bound and shackled while Imperial Stormtroopers stood guard.

Fearing for his life, Reo quickly skittered away, hiding in the Blue Sector of Coronet until he was recruited by an Agent of the Broker.

## Career as a Broker Agent

For a while, all Reo would do was mechanic work and janitorial duties at the Coronet Cell until he was finally called on to join in active missions.

Reo was brought in on his first mission SotB IV: Hunting For Answers, but his contributions were minor and it wasn't until the events of SotB V: Quarantine Quandary that he was truly felt to be a part of the team. In a suicidal attempt to save the team, the Jawa ran, jumped, and slid under the monstrous machine known as 'Killjoy' to plant a bomb. He was caught in the blast and knocked unconscious as his body was torn asunder.

**Career:**Colonist
**Specializations:**Scholar, Recruit, Politco, Medic
**Player:**Kyle L.

## Early years

Fai Mei was married to a Republic Navy Officer during the end of the clone wars and when it became the Empire, her husband stayed on board. She was a professor on Dac and took care of her son while teaching Xenology. Unfortunately on a patrol mission to fight pirates in the sector her husband's ship was destroyed. This left her depressed and without enough money to support herself and her son, at least to a level she wanted keep at. So to make ends meet, she started to sell good grades to her students. This went on for a while before she was exposed and banned from teaching at the university. During this time she met a charming Shistavanen named Gristle with whom she had an intimate encounter.

After this she took her son to Coruscant to live with her husband's family as she was in need of work and the only work she could find involved gallivanting around the galaxy and she did not want that for her son. She worked on a few expeditions that ultimately led her to thirst for more adventure. Eventually she ended up working for a shadow operative of the Broker who was impressed with knowledge of the local fauna and forwarded her credentials to the Broker.

She started out working in the Coronet Compound as an adviser before being promoted to field agent.

## Career as a Broker Agent

The first mission Fai took part of was a VR training mission,[[ http://shadowofthebroker.wikia.com/wiki/SotB IV: Hunting for Answers| Hunting for Answers Part 1]]. She has yet to make a huge impact on any individual mission but she has been helpful on many.

Broker Network

The Broker Network is the loose collection of semi-independent mercenary cells that all report to the Broker. Due to the extreme secrecy with which the Broker operates, many of the cells have only vague knowledge of the others, though they've been known to work together from time to time.

The two most prominent cells were based in Coronet, Corellia and Moenia, Naboo. Both were hit hard by the events of SotB XX: Without a Trace, which led to the entire network going silent due to the threat of a mole.
Shorbecca

Shorbecca is a Wookiee Hired Gun Heavy who joined the Coronet Cell during the Rendezvous at Ord Mantell side mission.

**Character**: Shorbecca
**Species**: Wookiee
**Career**: Hired Gun
**Specializations**: Heavy, Gunner
**Player**: Brandon M.

## Early Life and Imperial Slavery

Shorbecca grew up on the Wookiee home-world, Kashyyyk, in the city of Kachirho. He joined the Wookiee Defense Forces and fought in the Battle of Kashyyyk when Darth Vader and the 501st Legion attacked. While attempting to protect the Jedi Kento Marek and his son Galen, Shorbecca was Force-thrown from a massive Worshyr tree by Darth Vader. Shorbecca survived the fall, but found himself in chains.

Enslaved by the Imperials in the Wawaatt Archipelago for 20 years, Shorbecca saw the spirit of his noble species collapse. The Imperials delighted in torturing the Wookiees, and the strongest of his compatriots were the first to die. Shorbecca had always been more keen with a blaster and was largely ignored by his captors. One fateful night, a small group of slaves had been taken to work a special project and the Imperial soldiers ended up getting drunk on duty. Seeing their opportunity, Shorbecca and his fellow Wookiees broke free to attack their captors. Despite the surprise, the Imperials killed all except for Shorbecca, who grappled a heavy blaster rifle and shot the remaining Imperials down.

Bleeding out and wandering through the wilderness, he found a small town and hid himself on a supply ship. He hid amongst the cargo and passed out, waking up on Coronet in the medbay of the Broker's safe house. With no where else to go, Shorbecca took the Broker's offer to join as an agent.

## Life with as Broker Agent

Wielding the heavy blaster rifle he stole from the Imperials, Shorbecca first joined the crew during the Rendezvous at Ord Mantell side mission.

On Orvax IV, Shorbecca discovered a group of captive Wookiee children and rescued them with the help of Kii'Vera and Durin Boge. (SotB XIII: Hunting for Answers, Part II)
Evelyn Hertz

*A 24-year-old human having escaped from slavery, Eve takes refuge with the Broker's Agents, offering up her skills to the group as an ex-enforcer.*

## Background

Evelyn Hertz was an only child, living with her mother and father who were searching the galaxy for answers. When Evelyn was ten years old, the three ended up on Ylesia, following false promises of a religious retreat. The Exultation, produced by male t'landa Til, kept her, her parents, and the other pilgrims content as they were put to work in spice processing factories.

A few years passed, and during that time the Rebel Alliance launched a number of small attacks on the planet to disrupt the production of spices. With reduced profits, the Hutts in control sold away many of their less beneficial slaves in order to keep the price of upkeep down. Evelyn was then in the possession of a slave trader for a couple years, as no one particularly wanted to purchase an irritable young girl suffering from withdrawals.

Eventually, however, she was sold to Boto the Hutt to satisfy his desires. After Evelyn stubbornly resisted orders, withstanding a number of beatings, Boto took a different interest in her, "promoting" her to an enforcement position. At first, she was only to see that rebellious slaves did not go unpunished, but as she grew older and stronger Boto had her help on occasion with certain visitors or to quell local defiance. However, to always remind her of her real position, Boto made her continue to wear a chainless collar. Though not proud of what she did, Evelyn worked for Boto in this manner for several years.

## Career as a Broker Agent

Evelyn escaped the destruction of Boto the Hutt's sail barge by hiding out on the Agents' ship (during the second installment of Crystal Clear), and having nowhere else to go, Evelyn soon joined the team. Her first contact with the Broker was after the events of SotB XXXVIII: Trust Fall, when the Agents learned of their new safe house on Wayright. Since then, her trust in the mysterious figure has been shaky at best.
Quash Sogar

Quash Sogar was an Aqualish (Quara) Jedi Master, who trained Saber Scintel in the Niman technique and Force Move.

## Early Life and Geonosis

One of the very few Jedis of his species, Sogar was discovered by the Council and trained in the Jedi Temple from a very young age. Though he did not distinguish himself in intellectual pursuits, he excelled in his discipline training and master the Niman technique. Like other Jedi Masters, his life was devoted to serving the Republic and maintain balance in the universe.

He joined a group of Jedi in the First Battle of Geonosis when Mace Windu ordered them to investigate a large energy signature near the Geonosian Arena. The group descended into a secret facility and were exposed to Mind Worms. During a battle to destory a super laser set to attack the Clone fleet in orbit, Quash lost control and attempted to attack his own padawon, Dena Io. The other Jedi succeeded in restoring his control and the worm was surgically removed in the field by Clone Medic Patches. This experience and the coming galaxy wide war led him to abandon the Order.

## A New Disciple

Quash gathered supplies and set off for an uncolonized wild space world, eventually finding a verdant jungle world, untouched by technology. He touched down and purposely deconstructed his ship over the course of several years, but a vision led him leave the distress beacon in one piece. Soon after he witness a cruiser crash landing into the planet. To his surprise he sense a Force-sensitve being in the wreckage and found the only survivor was a young Zygerrian boy, who clinged to an ancient sword of unknown make.

Despite his misgivings about Zygerrians, Sogar raised the boy and soon found he had no talent for survival in the jungle environmental. He meditated and foresaw darkness in the boy's future, but realized he must train him in the Force and the Niman technique if he was going to survive the planet. As Sogar focused on the boy, he neglected his own meditation on the future and was unable to foresee an attack by venomous insects. He saved Saber and his remaining moments revealed the location of the distress beacon.
Aurelia Fion

A pilot that fell in with the Broker after she deserted from the Imperial Navy and her family deserted her.

**Character**: Aurelia Fion

**Species**: Human

**Career**: Ace

**Specializations**: Driver, Gunner

**Player**: Cail M.-S.

## Early Years

Aurelia was born to a vassal family of an Alderaanian noble house. The house had close ties to the Republic, but were bitter rivals with house Organa. As the Republic transitioned to the Empire, Aurelia and other youths of her house were encouraged to start military careers.

While Aurelia's career with the Imperial military started well, she found herself on missions delivering more troops to oppress desperate people, rather than the food or medical supplies that the populace needed. During an assignment to "suppress a revolt" (attack starving protesters), she took her crew and vehicle and deserted. She knows of two others who have survived without being sent to Imperial prison camps. However, her commanding officer still holds a grudge (perhaps some of the crew members that did not avoid the prison camps do, too).
Enev Tamei

A blue Rodian archaeologist with magenta hair, Enev delivered the Ruby of Despair to the Coronet Safe House, helping to reassemble Bastion, the Kwa artificial intelligence that allows the agents to train in virtual reality missions. A specialist in the history of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, Enev first assumed the Ruby and the Topaz of Triumph were Rakatan technology. Once it was discovered that Bastion was a Kwa relic, she spent a long period studying Bastion along with Erdogan Cael and her partner, Keb Arrel.

Her relationship with the Broker is unclear. There is no reason to suspect she is one of the Broker's agents, but she was willing to entrust a priceless artifact to his care. It seems possible that they know one another personally.
