GM's expanded bios of the PCs

Duvessa LiCidan Young Senator & Duke's Daughter (Me) She is a young Senatorial from the planet Amador as well as the Duke of the Sluis Sector's daugther. Being only 18 she is old enough to know better but young enough to be stupid about not caring. The Rebellion has kept Duvessa on a short leash, fearing that she is just too young to understand the gravity of the situation. Until now. Someone has realized that her flightiness and immaturity is not all that it seems and has decided to test the young woman with a new mission of some importance. This is what has brought to Paranoth to meet with the rest of her team. Duvessa is 175cm tall with chestnut hair and doe brown eyes. She is athletic and well-toned. Taking great pride in her appearance, she wears the best that money can buy and coordinate. She is not particularly interested in climbing the ranks of the Alliance. She is interested more in do what is best for her, her family, her planet and then Rebellion. In that order. Perhaps Fate has a plan in store for her. Jela'han Merchant (Dave) Smooth, sly and cunning, this Twi'lek Merchant joined the crew in a moment of opportunity and necessity.	Endra Yahnna Opportunistic Merchant (Johanna) A smile and a handblaster will get you a lot farther than just a smile alone - this is Yahnna's credo in life. As comfortable in deep space as on planetside, Yahnna knows she's seen far more of the galaxy than anyone of her age really should - not that she's about to admit her age. She calls herself a free-trader and freelance pilot, although she won't deny the epithet of smuggler too vigorously. Home is where ever she happens to be and her wordly goods she can carry on her back. Yahnna's temper can be mercurical and unpredictable - from friendly and voluble one moment to cynical and truculent the next. She gives neither explaination nor apologies for her moods and when asked the reason behind her Rebellion sympathy, she will merely shrug and say "It beats the alternatives". Plying her with drink might get more expansive answers, but Yahnna has proven before that her alcohol tolerance can outlast most of her companions'. Yahnna is 1.65m tall, blond hair, has a slender build and a distinct preference for utilitarian clothing. When forced to dress up, she will don her only long skirt - black - a matching shirt and fret about the fact that there's no discreet way to carry a blaster with that ensemble. Fortunately, no-one can see the holdout pistol under the skirt...
Dev Seeto, Lt. Rebel Pilot (EricL) Hailing from the planet Model, Dev Seeto is one of the Rebellion's more promising pilots. He's quick, has good instincts, confident... maybe too confident. But the word that describes him best is optimistic. He's always looking for the positive spin. He makes note of the good portion of any outcome, no matter how small. Dev is 178cm tall, thin and always somewhat wide-eyed. He wears his uniform with pride. In fact, he does just about everything with pride. Highly ambitious, he'll go far in the Alliance. Geehan Ambassorial Aide (Britt) The suave Mon Calmari to which every situation is "imminently manageable."	Matthew Decker Rebel Operative (Bob) "To make an omelet you need to break a few eggs." At 25, this Ex-Imperial Marine Officer has seen more pain and suffering in his short life than anyone should see in a lifetime. After refusing to kill a group of unarmed women and children at Imperial command, Matthew abandoned the Imperial Marines and eventually became a full time Rebellion operative. He is an expert swordsman and a master of physical meditation. He works hard to overcome the sins of his past, but very few trust him due to his Imperial history. Rarely rocking the boat, he is a man of few words, serious actions and eyes that have seen too much. His personal belief about the Empire is that it is the Emperor and the Moffs who are at fault. The rest are just following the orders and examples of their leaders. When you come right down to it, it is the people he is trying to save - even if they don't realize they need saving. Sometimes, they need convincing. Sometimes, they are beyond help. Matt is 188 cm tall with dark brown hair and light eyes. He cuts an impressive figure that looks like it was born to wear a military uniform. He keeps physically fit with regular sword and martial arts workouts.
William Travers Republic Colonel (Bob) Found after 30 years in stasis, this Republic Colonel is having a hard time adjusting to a future with the loss of his family, no Jedi, Imperial Rule and this budding Rebellion group. (Character retired after "Ord Mantavi, Part 2" as he has gone to Rebellion HQ to become an expert computer slicer for them.)
