Anders

"He was the only survivor of the Nowhere Incident, sir. He could carry some serious emotional scars."

- to Anders was a Human male privateer and explorer in service of the New Republic who commanded the Stargazer during the later years of the Galactic Civil War and the Yuuzhan Vong War. He was perhaps most famous for being the only survivor of the infamous Nowhere Incident.

Born on a farm on Corellia in the year 16 BBY, Anders was the son of Jedi Knight Rictus, though he himself was not Force-sensitive. In 1 BBY, his farm was attacked by Stormtroopers. Darth Vader confronted and killed Rictus and his wife, leaving Anders an orphan. Four years later, he enlisted in the Alliance Fleet - secretly hoping he would one day be able to confront Vader. He was assigned as a crewmember aboard the Nowhere, captained by Rylex Bin-Tarion. When the Nowhere Incident erupted, however, Anders abandoned the vessel with his life - while all the other crewmembers died.

He continued to fight in the Alliance until the destruction of the second Death Star. He eventually commandeered his own ship - the Stargazer - as a privateer in service to the New Republic. He also took many expeditions into the Unknown Regions, becoming instrumental in mapping this once desolate region of space. He also fought in the Second Imperium Crisis and the Yuuzhan Vong War.
