## Biography

### Imperial Service

An Human male native to Corellia, **Crix Madine** then attended the Raithal Academy and entered service in the Imperial Army. He rose quickly through the ranks after establishing himself as an innovative tactician and effective leader. When the Imperial Military identified a need for an surgical strike force to counter the rebellion's guerrilla tactics, Crix was selected to form their unit. This result was a group of the Storm Commandos, which he'd picked from Stormtroopers ranks and trained himself. He led their unit on a number of missions, but found the missions he and the men were called on to perform to be questionable. Crix Madine eventually defected to the Rebel Alliance, a rebel group that opposed Imperials tyranny during the Galactic Civil War. Holding the rank of General, he was specialized in covert actions like infiltrating of strike teams onto an occupied planet.

### Alliance Service

#### Operation: Yellow Moon

Several months after the Battle of Hoth, a General Madine and other high-ranking rebel officers secretly met on Zastiga, where Alliance Chancellor Mon Mothma revealed that the Alliance had discovered the Emperor was building the planet-killing battle station, the Death Star II, over the Forest Moon of Endor. The rebellion decided to destroy the battle station before it was completed, but needed time to gather the Alliance Fleet near Sullust. rebel Princess Leia Organa proposed leading a mission, dubbed Operation Yellow Moon, to distract the Galactic Empire's attention to the Corva sector on the opposite side of the galaxy from Sullust. Madine and the other rebel commanders agreed with her plan, and Madine had volunteered to serve on the mission as a Commando. Mon Mothma rejected him, noting that he was needed to plan the assault on the second Death Star. Instead, Madine assigned one of his best commandos, rebel Major Lokmarcha, to the mission. Leia succeeded in completing the operation, although Lokmarcha and another operative died. Leia managed to steal the *Tydirium*, the Imperial *Lambda*-class T-4a shuttle, which General Crix intended to use on their mission to Endor.

#### Battle at the Forest Moon

While some Alliance commanders were suspicious of the Imperial past, he was allowed into the High Command with an backing of General Carlist Rieekan. His intimate knowledge of the Imperial tactics earned him a position of chief military advisor, and commander of Alliance Special Forces. In the latter capacity, Madine trained rebellion ground commanders on tactics to use the Alliance's smaller numbers effectively against the Empire. With their Alliance fleet in place, Madine, Mon Mothma, and a Admiral Gial Ackbar briefed Alliance forces on the plan to destroy the second Death Star II. Thanks to Leia's theft of the *Tydirium*, General Crix planned on sneaking a strike team onto the Forest Moon of Endor, where the Empire had built a shield generator to protect the battle station. From forest moon's surface, the rebels could take down the Empire's shield generator, leaving an Death Star II vulnerable to the rebellion fleet's firepower. In order to accomplish that mission, Madine asked his fellow General Han Solo to assemble and lead the strike team. Prior to a Battle of Endor, he gave hologram briefing to starfighter squadrons in the Fleet including Corona Squadron, which was based on *Liberty*.

When Kendy Idele asked who would take care of the deflector shield generator at Endor, Madine reassured her that Han Solo's team would handle that matter. When several Corona pilots including Yendor chatted about Solo, he'd interjected that Solo was one of their best assets. He then assigned Corona Squadron to escort a rebel General Lando Calrissian in the *Millennium Falcon* and the Gold, Red, Green, and Gray Squadrons as they penetrated a second Death Star II. Crix's plan ultimately succeeded, which led to the rebellions most crucial victory over the Empire. Following the destruction of the second Death Star, Crix kept the fleet on alert over the Forest Moon of Endor as he was concerned about a possible Imperial counterattack. The next day, Madine conferred with General Solo about a Imperial outpost still operating on the other side of the moon from the shield generator. Both agreed that they could not allow the Imperials to remain and then threaten the Ewok populace, and Han led the strike team in a assault on the outpost. Soon after the victory at the Battle of Endor, Rebel Alliance was reorganized into New Republic and Madine was placed in command of the Special Forces.

### New Republic Service

#### War Against the Remnants

A few months after Endor, Madine and other elements of the rebel Fleet Command were aboard a MC80 Star Cruiser at Muster Point: Stalwart. Madine and Admiral Ackbar briefed rebels soldiers and pilots on the Imperials ongoing planetary assaults, including Empire Operation: Cinder. Madine thanked their rebels for their efforts against the Empire and for the thousands of lives they saved countering Operation: Cinder, but sadly noted that the war was far from over. After Ackbar received vital intelligence on Imperial Fleet movements from a mysterious informant called the Operator, General Madine was part of a hologram conference that included Commander Kyrsta Agate, Captain Saff Melor, and the Chancellor Mon Mothma. When General Crix Madine questioned the trustworthiness of this informant, Kyrsta Agate responded that their mysterious Operator had been reliable thus far. However, Gial Ackbar cautioned the Imperials were playing a long game.

At the advice of Ackbar, Madine agreed to divert a small team of Special Forces soldiers led by a Sergeant Jom Barell to investigate the Empire's presence on the world of Akiva in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. While most of this unit was killed, Barell played a role in an successful rebellion at Akiva. In the fifth year that followed the beginning of Galactic Civil War, General Crix attended a Liberation Day celebration held at Chandrila's Old Gather-House. Chancellor Mon Mothma had organized a Liberation Day to celebrate the liberation of hundreds former rebellion prisoners from prison Ashmead's Lock on Kashyyyk. However, each of their liberated prisoners had been fitted with inorganic biochip implants which had allowed the Imperial Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax, an true leader of the Imperial Remnants, to transmit signals which turned the prisoners into unwilling assassins. Madine was rumored to have been one of the victims during the Chandrila attack.
