-Blandar Tuntata

## Early life

Blandar was born on the planet of Kesh to a Keshiri Sith. He never knew his farther and his mother was away for long periods of time fighting with the Sith, so Blandar lived a very lonely life. He spent most of his time playing in the streets alone as the other children were scared of him because of his Sith heritage. Blandar enjoyed tinkering with weapons used by the Keshiri guards. When he was just ten he was hired by the guards to improve their weaponry, this lead Blander to learn more about the inner workings of blasters. At the age of 16 Blandar's mother introduced him to the Sith, who had been on the planet for many thousands of years. These Sith told Blandar about the force and the lightsabers, which they used to fight with. Having heard of Blandar's skill with tinkering, the sith entrusted Blandar in customising their lightsabers to improve them.

## After The Sith

When Blandar was 20 years old he had earned enough money to travel to the planet of Coruscant. For most of his life he was interested in politics so this was the perfect opportunity as Coruscant was the main Hub for all things political. After arriving on the planet Blandar realized that universities cost credits and so he worked under Val Aran, a prolific black market trader, modifying weapons. After finding out this was illegal he turned Aran in to the police force.

## Engineering Apprenticeship

After this Blandar had enough money to live safely, this allowed him to pursue a career in engineering. He worked under weapons engineer Garm Hariku. Whilst in this Apprenticeship Blandar learnt more about technology as a whole. This Apprenticeship led Blandar to a short lived career in weapons engineering where Blandar managed to save enough money to pay for university

## Role In The Senate

After Graduating from the Greater Coruscant University with honours, he started work in the Galactic Senate where he had a fanatical wish to introduce Sith ideals. He started as a lowly Populist member but rose slightly higher in the ranks becoming a press secretary under Siimmor Noph. After this brief occupation, Blandar rose to position of the council within the populists whilst also becoming the Kashyyyk representative. During his time in the council, he developed a rivalry with Esp Joralis. He formed an unlikely bond with then chancellor Larian Candor, who manipulated Blandar into joining the centralist party.

### Centralist Party

After a dispute within the party, Blandar expressed his hate for Esp in a public speech which made personal attacks and voiced Blandar's concern as to the direction the party was taking. After a long talk with Larian, Blandar decided the best move would be to join the centralists. He publicly announced his departure (much to the upset of the voters of Kashyyyk) and was immediately promoted to minister of defence under the Candor regime. During this time, Blandar was becoming increasingly disinterested within the senate, and instead began to focus on his personal life. After a only a few actions being taken as MoD, Blandar lost his position as senator and went into hiding. Soon after, Blandar was captured by authorities and exiled to Korriban. Not much is known of Blandar currently.
