January 4, 2009 – Mace Windy


Mace Windy was a Human Jedi Master, revered by most within the Jedi Order although distrusted by some others, who sat on the Jedi High Council during the Invasion of Utapau. At the time of his appointment, he was the youngest person in the history of the Jedi Order to sit upon the Jedi High Council. Trained by T'ra Saa after being born on Haruun Kal, during which time he discovered he had the ability to detect shatterpoints in the Force, he was also the master of Padmé Naberrie, referring to her on many occasions as the best student he had ever trained, although it was unknown how many students he had trained prior to accepting her.

One week after hearing reports about a Kaminoan-created clone army to be used against the Galactic Republic, Mace traveled to Kamino where he learned that the army was to be used for the Republic, not against it. He also uncovered what were mysteries to him about the supposed Jedi Master Sido-Dyas who was said to have ordered the clones, and a possible Mandalorian leader named Jango Fett, the latter of whom had been the host for the clones. Mace flew to Nar Shaddaa to find Fett, and questioned him in Fett's office once the suspect was located. After a brief fight in the streets, Mace arrested Fett and brought him to Coruscant, where Mace lost control of his emotions while interrogating Fett about the army and the Mandalorians. Fett later escaped from the Jedi Temple, causing Mace to issue an immediate lock down of the surrounding areas.

January 11, 2009 – Siege of Dantooine


The Siege of Dantooine was a battle in 32 BBY that followed and partially resulted from the Attack on the Legacy. Originally, the had come to negotiate with the. However, when Drazil Drewton, acting as ambassador for the Republic, did not arrive, they thought that they had been tricked and therefore attacked Khoonda, the autonomous government of Dantooine. Not only Kaleesh assisted in the fight against Khoonda, but also s, mercenaries, and the Mandalorian Crusaders. Ludge Ganler himself, the administrator of Khoonda, was captured, along with Tarisian and Raymus, the sons of Drazil Drewton and sole survivors of the previous assassination attempt.

Searching for the captives, Idnum-Ki entered a cave in which he instead found the   Darth Desolous. After brief resistance from the Jedi, Desolous taught him much of the which Idnum would use in the concurrent battle. Meanwhile, his Dular located the captive Drewtons and freed them.

The Jedi then rejoined the battle, and Idnum-Ki fought against General Sheelal in a lightsaber duel. As he himself was not a, Qymaen was no match for Ki's abilities, and he watched as the Dark Jedi turned the tide of the battle in favor of the Republic with. Though the defeated General was allowed to escape, Khoonda was victorious, and celebrated hours after the conclusion of the battle.

January 18, 2009 – SB-3 frigid super battle droid


The SB-3 frigid super battle droid, more commonly known as snow droids, were a modification of the basic Confederate super battle droids used by the Trade Federation, Confederacy of Independent Systems, the New Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Droid Empire. Snow droids were created specially by Baktoid Combat Automata, the main droid manufacturer of the Confederacy, to solve the problem of regular battle droids and super battle droids performing lower than usual standards in icy environments. They were considered to be very effective. Snow droids were much taller than the other droids. Other features of the snow droids were that they wore white plating to camouflage them in the snow, and they were capable of handling a handheld blaster and the blaster mounted to their wrist.

Snow droids won and lost many battles during the Clone Wars. Major battles they fought in included the battles of Rhen Var, Ilum, Diado, Nelvaan, and Mygeeto. After the main control signal of all the battle droids on every planet, was disabled, snow droids, like the rest of the Confederate armies, were shut down. However, after the Clone Wars, they indirectly inspired the Galactic Empire's snowtroopers, because the Empire knew that they needed a special unit for use on the snowy terrain, to increase efficiency in terrains their basic unit could not.

January 25, 2009 – The Fanon Menace: A Day in the Life of a Stormtrooper


The Fanon Menace: A Day in the Life of a Stormtrooper was a spin-off miniseries from the YouTube series The Fanon Menace. It aired shortly after the show completed its first season, starting on July 1, 2008, and continuing for six weeks. It was six short episodes depicting the life of two stormtroopers, TK-421 and TK-422, during their first day on the Death Star.

However, the first day turned out to be extremely hectic for them. During orientation, the two stormtroopers learned the number one rule around the Death Star was "Do not remove your helmet", which was considered worse than forming a plan to overthrow the Empire. With both stormtroopers sent to solitary confinement, together, they soon discovered the relationship between Darth Vader and Princess Leia. Through a turn of events, they met up with the escaped convicts back at the detention block and witnessed two men, a Wookiee and a Force ghost Jedi free the Princess and escape.

With this look into what went on in the Death Star during Episode IV: A New Hope, audiences got a glimpse of what a day in the life of a stormtrooper really was like. It was directed by Seth Hoover and released through the same two companies as the main series, College Kids Productions and The League of Extraordinary Jedi. It was also the beginning of what would be a continuous broadcasting of mini-series in between each season of The Fanon Menace.

February 1, 2009 – Darth Taral


Darth Taral, previously Idnum-Ki, was a starwars:Cerean and starwars:Jedi Master during the last years of the starwars:Galactic Republic. As a starwars:Padawan, he had an interest, later leading to an obsession, of Sith holocrons. This entailed much discussion over him from the Jedi High Council, but at the time they merely dismissed it as curiosity. After being made a Jedi Master years later, he took Dular as his apprentice in 34 BBY when the Padawan was abandoned by his previous Master, Xarkun.

In 32 BBY, Idnum-Ki joined the Jedi Council of Seers, a group dedicated to stopping the return of the Sith. He did whatever necessary to stop their possible return, even if that meant killing Ibtiseh, a fellow Jedi who he had foreseen would indirectly cause the death of the Jedi Council members. During the same year, he participated in the Siege of Dantooine, in which he was turned to the dark side of the Force by an ancient Sith named Darth Desolous. Idnum gradually began to feed his own Padawan the same teachings, and made occasional visits to Dantooine for further training from Desolous, though he did not consider himself a Sith at the time.

By the time of the Clone Wars, Idnum-Ki had become a manipulative Dark Jedi. He placed seeds of doubt within his own Padawan, and used even Count Dooku, the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, as a tool. He had grown powerful enough to strip the Force away from a Jedi or Sith, and conferred once with Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith.

February 8, 2009 – Banik Kelrada


Banik Kelrada was the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order during the early days of the Alsakan Crisis of 13,000 BBY. He later became an outcast Jedi Master following the events during and after the Conclave on Ossus that sparked a schism amongst the Jedi, which created the Ospion Guardians. He was born on Coruscant and taken into the Order as an infant, and during his training he came to be seen as a skilled duelist by his masters. When he was eighteen years old, Banik was enslaved in the Outer Rim Territories by a mining company during a failed mission with his master, who was killed by the slavers. Although Banik initially attempted escape, the plot failed and Banik remained in custody, during which time he met and fell in love with a woman named Al'eal. Al'eal, however, was killed while saving Banik’s life, after which Banik was finally able to escape from the slavers and return to Coruscant. After psychological testing and a brief retraining period, Banik took his Jedi Trials and was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight.

Many years later, Banik became a Jedi Master and was granted a seat on the Coruscant Jedi Council, the Jedi governing body in the Great Jedi Pyramid on Coruscant. He later became the Grandmaster of the Coruscant Council, giving him a seat on the Jedi High Council, and after then-Jedi Grandmaster Sarus Kappa resigned from his post, Banik was elected Grandmaster of the Jedi Order. Around this same time, Coruscant was invaded and captured by the Alsakan Union, a religious organization seeking to claim control of Coruscant, an act which started the Alsakan Crisis of 13,000 BBY between the Alsakans and the Galactic Republic.

After the conflict began, Banik attempted to negotiate peace efforts between the Galactic Republic’s Supreme Chancellor Relana Isolde Tanoor and the Alsakan Vicar Lharra in the hopes of avoiding a full-scale war, but Lharra was assassinated while meeting with Banik at the Jedi Enclave on Ossus and the Alsakans implicated Banik in the crime. One week later, Banik called and led the Conclave on Ossus. During the event, he was said to have had a psychotic breakdown and was accused of murdering Jedi Master Edo Tesu, whom Banik had claimed to be a traitor. Although Banik was arrested for the murder, he was able to escape Ossus with the help of two other Jedi Knights and travel to Onderon for safety.

February 15, 2009 – Incident on Adirof's moon


The Incident on Adirof's moon was an event orchestrated in part by Darth Sidious, the, that occurred during the. A shuttle piloted by Raymus Drewton and   Reeves was secretly sent to Adirof, with Dular, a ; three clone troopers including recruited soldiers  Kyle Krenis and  Tarisian Drewton; Daklif Ordo, a ; and two prisoners, Bodotor Thuvat and Dem Nozah, on board. Before it could arrive on Adirof, however, the shuttle was shot down by a  and crash-landed on the planet's moon. All on board except Reeves survived. As the survivors searched for a transport off the seemingly-uninhabited moon, tension rose from previous situations and suspicions had grown from the crash, resulting in the survivors fighting against each other. The fight was quickly interrupted when Separatist droids emerged from the nearby ocean's water.

After escaping the droids, the shuttle-crash survivors determined that, because of the Separatist's occupation of the moon, there would be Separatist starships on the moon which they could use. Soon after, Dular was confronted by Separatist Commander Asajj Ventress and dueled her. Upon locating a, Commander Krenis, Captain Drewton, Lieutenant Drewton, Daklif Ordo, and a clone trooper hijacked it and rescued Dular from the duel. Unknown to them at the time, prisoners Bodotor Thuvat and Dem Nozah had remained on the moon in order to make a deal with Separatist leader Dooku. Though the incident did not go exactly according to Darth Sidious's plan, he was confident that enough had been achieved.

February 22, 2009 – Battle of New Centrif


The Battle of New Centrif was the first armed conflict of the Invasion of Utapau. Beginning shortly after the corporate Trade Federation landed its forces on Utapau, in retaliation for anti-slavery laws passed by the Galactic Republic, the battle was fought between the Federation, led by battle droid commander OOM-9, and the New Centrif Security Forces, led by Security Captain Sotab Jacoma. The purpose of the battle was to destroy the planet’s last remaining active communications array, the other arrays on the planet having already been jammed by the Federation. New Centrif Mayor Arruinada intended to use the array to warn Utapau Queen Sabé Arcadia, who was in the capital city of Ogana, about the arrival of the Federation forces.

After the Federation destroyed the city’s security perimeter gate, the droid forces, which numbered in either the hundreds or thousands, swarmed the city and engaged the security forces and armed townspeople, although the defenders numbered only in the dozens. The New Centrif forces were quickly overwhelmed, resulting in the deaths of virtually all of the security forces within minutes. Jacoma and a few other officers remained alive, although Jacoma ended up killing himself when he used a grenade to destroy the droids in the area. Towards the end of the battle, Arruinada recorded a partial message to send to Queen Arcadia, but the mayor was killed before completing the transmission. The Federation destroyed the communications array and went on to attack Utapau's capital city of Ogana, where they captured Queen Arcadia.

March 1, 2009 – Doluc II


Doluc II was a satellite of Doluc, the primary planetoid of the Doluc system. Though its origins dated back several millions of years, Doluc II did not become the second moon of Doluc until fairly recently in comparison to its birth, approximately 20,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Before then, Doluc II was the primary satellite of Sram I, which was once its own independent celestial body.

Doluc II's surface was green and filled with life, covered with greenery and a variety of fauna. From the thick foliage at the planet's equator to the grasslands around the planet, there was not an area on the planet that lacked plantlife - sans the snowy, polar areas. The forests that dotted the the planet benefited from the warm, humid weather; the vegetation grew rapidly due to the heavy amount of rainfall that the planet received.

Due to the abundance of animal life, the Dolucians who first colonized the planet's surface took up the role of hunter-gatherers and formed nomadic villages throughout the steppes and hill country that encompassed the planet's surface. Eventually, these wanderers were united under the Sons of Bogan, a dark side sect that inhabited the planet for several thousand years. By 2,000 BBY, the Sith Lord Darth Ruin had formed the New Sith Empire, and the Sith's power increased throughout the galaxy. The Dolucians of Doluc used this period of instability to drive the Sons of Bogan off their world and its moons in a four-way campaign that resulted in the Dolucian natives of Doluc gaining Doluc II and its other satellites and establishing them as colony worlds.

However, the Sons of Bogan's lasting influence on the Dolucians of the moon remained after they left and the Dolucians continued to dabble in dark magic and arts even after the Sons of Bogan and the Sith abandoned the planet. The warlord Ronos Ka'i attempted to establish a dark-sided faction independent of Doluc's rule, though he was defeated at the Battle of Icalinas in 640 BBY. The Doluc loyalist faction was victorious, and the battle contributed to growing opposition to Republic policies and intervention in Dolucian wars. This sentiment eventually contributed to the Dolucians stance in the Clone Wars. The faction of Dolucians who opposed Republic sovereignty was the most popular and numerous on Doluc; after the Battle of Doluc, however, the survivors who migrated to Doluc II began to oppose Republic action and support anti-Republican policies on the moon. This marked the unofficial beginning of the Dolucian Liberty and Autonomy movement.

After the Dolucian Separatists were defeated during the Battle of Doluc II, Dolucian public opinion continued to support the notion that the Doluc system had the right to govern itself and it took military action against the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances to subjugate the independently-minded Dolucian people. After almost two decades of constant rebellion, the Dolucians' desire for self-government was quelled by the Vancita Alliance at Sram II in 32 ABY.

March 8, 2009 – Battle of Ahara (Cruentusian War)


The Battle of Ahara was a battle during the Cruentusian War. It occurred when the elite commando group the Lost Ones, cut off from their civilization, arrived on the desert world of Ahara to activate a secret cadre of droids belonging to the Infinite Empire, the collapsed galactic Empire they had once worked for. As part of this plan, they had obtained the supposedly powerful artifact known as the Hand of Darkness several months before. In the process, however, they destroyed a spy outpost on the world belonging to the fascist Necasian Military, which managed to send out a distress call before its destruction. Both an elite Necasian squad, led by proclaimed Necasian hero Haveer Jarn, and a group of Srav Hammer Division troops led by Jarn's counterpart, Nataska Vergulva, picked up the distress call and arrived on the planet, and both had to reluctantly work with each other against the Ratakan droid legions. Meanwhile, the Zayre leader Storm Ironwings, treated as a heroine by her people, also participated in the battle, engaging the Lost Ones leader Ravyr in a duel. Nonetheless, with the combined efforts of the two commando groups, and to a lesser extent the Zayre, Ravyr was defeated and the Lost Ones fled, with their temple on the planet being razed by a Srav nuclear strike.

March 15, 2009 – Phydah Forest apparition


An apparition appeared in the Phydah Forest of Dantooine in 1 BBY to duel the Human Jedi Knight Narod Antrell. The apparition spoke few words and instead immediately enacted the duel with Antrell, seeking to taunt, intimidate and ultimately defeat him. However, the apparition was defeated after the brief duel and faded into nothingness.

The apparition was a specter of the Force that was created by Narod Antrell himself. The Jedi Knight, in an attempt to deal with the troubles of the Galactic Civil War between the dominant Galactic Empire and the rebelling Alliance to Restore the Republic, created the apparition as a way to deal with the stress by eventually dueling it. For this reason, the specter itself told Antrell it was he who had created the apparition during their duel.

Although only a specter of the Force, the apparition still took on a physical form for the duel between it and the Jedi Knight. The apparition took on a Human body with brown hair, eyes, and tan skin, and the apparition was slightly taller than Antrell. It wore black, casual clothing and wielded a red lightsaber. The apparition was actually a physical combination of some of Antrell's enemies, created through his mind.

March 22, 2009 – Jar Binks


Jar Binks was an Otolla Gungan and the exiled Crowned Prince of the Gungan Empire during the Invasion of Utapau. Born on Utapau to Gungan leader Gorgr Binks, he enlisted in the Gungan military in the city of Otoh Gunga at a young age where he served as the watchman of an ancient relic, called the Kaiburr crystal by the government of Utapau. During this time, Binks’s father died and it was decided that Binks was too young to take the throne, so he was replaced as leader of the Gungans by Rugor Nass. The assignment to guard the relic, which was his duty as the Crowned Prince, eventually led to his exile, as a female colleague named Scortora distracted Binks and allowed the Utapau government to steal the relic. This caused the Gungan High Council to exile Binks to the surface of the planet.

Two years later, the Trade Federation shipping cartel invaded Utapau in retaliation for the planet’s support of the Republic Anti-Slavery Law. Binks encountered Jedi Master Jard Dooku and Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi in the forests and offered to bring them to Otoh Gunga for safety, provided that they helped him gain favor with the Gungans so he would be accepted back into the city. The three were arrested upon entry into the city and taken before the Gungan High Council. Dooku was able to secure them a transport, as well as secure Binks’s freedom from the execution he would face due to his return. The group later arrived in Utapau’s capital of Ogana where they rescued Queen Sabé Arcadia and her advisers from their Federation captors and escaped on the planet onto a royal starship, setting course for the desert planet Tatooine.

March 29, 2009 – Second Battle of Ankarr (Cruentusian War)


The Second Battle of Ankarr was a comparatively large battle during the Cruentusian War. Having learned of the adopted homeworld of the Zayre species, Ankarr, the Srav Federation launched a full-scale invasion of the planet, intending to subjugate the Zayre race and remove them as threats. The Sravs also saw the move as vengeance against the Zayre for assisting the Srav enemies earlier in the war. To strengthen their numbers, the Sravs hired a large force of Savi Alliance mercenaries, and allowed Savi commanders to participate in the planning and execution of the battle. Both sides then launched a lightning assault on Ankarr, with Zayre warriorwoman Storm Ironwings and former Necasian leader Carsal Redharn mounting the defense. The Zayre, however, considered themselves disadvantaged by what they felt was the orbital superiority of the other factions, and took losses from liberal use of chemical and nuclear weapons by the Sravs. Under Ironwing's command, the still Zayre managed to hold their ground in some areas. Nonetheless, the Zayre were eventually overwhelmed by numbers and firepower, and the Sravs began what was considered to be a repressive occupation of the planet. Following the battle, Irownings and Redharn fled underground and led an unsuccessful resistance movement against the Sravs before eventually fleeing off world.

April 5, 2009 – Battle of Vontor
The Battle of Vontor was one of the first battles of the Great Jedi Purge, instigated by the executive Order 66 ordering the clone troopers of the newly-formed First Galactic Empire, superseding the Galactic Republic, to destroy all of the Jedi Order. After a pacification mission on the world of Vodran, the 404th Star Corps, led by the Jedi General Suruar'heo and her Padawan, the Jedi Commander Zeri Undis, were in the Royal Palace of the Hutt crime lord Noukeer on Vontor, forming an alliance with the Hutt's cartel.

During the negotiations, however, the clone trooper commander CC-1118 "Torr" received Order 66 from the Galactic Emperor, the then-Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Palpatine, hindering the negotiations just as they were ending. As a result, Torr and his clone troopers attacked their Jedi superiors, leading Noukeer's bodyguards to believe the Republic had betrayed the Hutt. In retaliation, led by the Nikto bodyguard Timmommit, Noukeer's men also fought against the clone troopers.

In the ensuing battle, Suruar'heo had her Padawan escape through one of the palace's hideouts into underground caverns, while the Jedi Master held off the 404th. The Twi'lek was killed, although not before killing numerous clone troopers, along with Noukeer and all of his bodyguards. Torr was injured in combat, so he sent clone trooper captain CC-1402 "Nicra" after Undis; while underground, the Padawan did battle with the captain and his men and killed them, buying her time to ultimately escape. In the aftermath of the battle, the clone trooper CT-24-7714 searched for Undis to no avail.

April 12, 2009 – Battle of Ogana


The Battle of Ogana was a battle during the Invasion of Utapau, a conflict between the Trade Federation shipping cartel and the planet of Utapau. The battle, fought between the Trade Federation Droid Army and the Utapau Security Forces, resulted in a victory by the Federation that allowed them to capture Ogana, Utapau’s capital city. Queen Sabé Arcadia, who had been under security protection in the Ogana Royal Palace, ordered her forces to stop fighting what she believed a futile battle and was captured by the Federation forces. After her capture, Arcadia was told by Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray that she would have to sign a treaty that would legitimize the Federation occupation of the planet.

Arcadia refused to sign the treaty, so she was assigned to Federation Camp Four, a Trade Federation concentration camp on the outskirts of Ogana. While en route to the camp, the battle droids assigned to escort her and her advisers were attacked by Jedi Master Jard Dooku, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and exiled Gungan Prince Jar Binks. The three rescued the queen and her people before bringing them to a starship that managed to escape the Federation blockade in orbit around the planet.

April 19 – May 23, 2009 – Allura Drayneen


Allura Drayneen was a Force-sensitive female Human member of the Imperial Inquisitorius who was born on the Colonies world of Yir Tangee. Early in her life, Allura aspired to pursue a successful career as a medical practitioner. She eventually took the opportunity to make her aspiration a reality and attended the Academy of Medicine on Byblos where she trained towards becoming a doctor. After graduating from the academy, Allura became a medical trainee within the Galactic Empire. After causing a foul-up during her posting on Denon, Allura was sentenced to incarceration at an Imperial prison on the Outer Rim world of Dathomir, eventually becoming the facility’s medical supervisor after her sentence had ended. During her time on Dathomir, Allura’s medical knowledge was exploited by the prison’s Chief Warden, Garis Lorvan. Lorvan coerced Allura to work for him as a torturer, forcing her to submissively carry out his orders regardless of her initial misgivings.

When an Inquisitor by the name of Lyon Olof took control of the prison in response to incursions by Nightsisters, Allura was subjected to interrogation when Olof believed that she was an undercover Nightsister agent. After her potential was realized, Allura was ultimately convinced by Olof to become a member of the Inquisitorius herself. Following the completion of her training at the College of the Inquisition, Allura worked as an interrogator at the organization’s command center on Prakith.

Years after her induction into the Inquisitorius, Allura took part in an operation to eliminate a suspected terrorist faction on the world of Dakshee. Working with an Imperial Intelligence major known as Orem Ducat on behalf of Governor Gerald Weizel, the terrorist ringleaders were eventually identified, though they were subsequently killed in a purposely botched arrest attempt. Following the end of the assignment, Allura was chastised for not undertaking her duty to a satisfactory level.

May 24, 2009 – Utapau (ASWS)


Utapau was the capital planet of the Chommell sector and a member world of the Galactic Republic. Originally inhabited by the indigenous and sentient Gungan species, the planet was colonized by Humans following the, a galactic conflict between the Second Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. The two sentient species fought a war that sent the Gungans into the Aquarian Ocean, allowing the Humans to take control of the surface. Gungans and Humans fought each other once more thousands of years later during the Gungan-Utapauan War.

Despite the multiple domestic wars, the planet was only part of an outside conflict on three known occasions. The first, in 3,522 BBY, was when the planet was attacked during the Great Sovereign Crusades, a war fought primarily between the Republic and the Third Sith Empire. The second was the Trade Federation shipping cartel’s Invasion of Utapau, which led directly into the third conflict, the Clone Wars.

As a member world of the Republic, it was watched over by a member of the Republic's Galactic Senate but primarily ruled by a sole monarch. After the Gungan-Utapauan War, the House of Arcadia assumed the throne and kept their royal title at least until the Invasion of Utapau. The Gungans ruled over the Gungan Empire in the Aquarian Ocean, having little contact with the Human government due to disagreements stemming back from the initial colonization of the planet.

May 31, 2009 – Dolucian
The Dolucians were a race of Near-Humans from the Outer Rim Territories; they originated from the world of Doluc in the Doluc system. The Dolucians quickly expanded their territory to encompass all the moons in the system, including Doluc II, Sram I, and Sram II. This species was genetically similar to Humans and often reproduced with them, but they had several key features that set them apart from their Human relatives, including gills and a longer lifespan than Humans.

The Dolucian people came from the Zhell species of the Core World, Coruscant. However, they were genetically isolated from their ancestors, where they began to evolve unique traits due to the Doluc's initial aqueous environment. Though the planet's oceans eventually dried up due to the fact it got closer to the system's star, the Dolucians retained the gills that they had developed. The Dolucians did not interact with the galaxy until a sect that utilized the dark side of the Force known as the Sons of Bogan attacked their planet. This attack resulted in many Dolucians being shipped offworld for slave labor, and gave rise to a desire for autonomy and individualism that lasted until the Second Galactic Civil War between the intergalactic Galactic Federation of Free Alliances and the Confederation.

The Dolucians were proud of their ability to participate in warfare and valued their independent sovereignty. This led many Dolucians throughout the Doluc system to develop a warrior culture, and become distinct from the other Dolucians. Eventually, the Dolucians were divided into two subspecies: Pure Dolucians, those that lived on Doluc or Doluc II, and Sramic Dolucians, those that lived on Sram I or Sram II. Despite attempts to achieve independence from the galaxy, they were eventually - albeit peacefully - subdued and assimilated into the Vancitan League of Allied Systems, a growing governmental body in the Outer Rim.

June 7, 2009 – Cliegg Lars (ASWS)


Cliegg Lars was a Human moisture farmer on Tatooine before and during the Invasion of Utapau, a conflict between the planet Utapau and the Trade Federation shipping cartel in 22 BBY. Born in 69 BBY, Lars lived as a moisture farmer for many years along with his family. He had what he felt was an inseparable relationship with his brother, Lee Lars. When Lars was old enough, and despite his father's disagreement, he joined the Republic Judicial Forces, the military branch of the Galactic Republic. Sometime after Lars returned to Tatooine, he met and married Akia Lars and the two had a son, Owen. Akia died a few years later due to an illness caused by exposure to sunlight.

In 32 BBY, Lars met Shmi Skywalker in Tatooine's Mos Espa settlement, and the two married one year later. This gave Lars a stepson, Annikin Skywalker, whom he came to think of his own son and wanted to be a strong father figure for. In 22 BBY, Lars allowed a group of outsiders from a crashed starship from Utapau to stay on his farm while Annikin helped repair the vessel’s damaged hyperdrive generator. This led to arguments between Lars and Owen, who felt that helping the outsiders was a mistake.

June 14, 2009 – Panaka (ASWS)


Panaka was the Human captain of the Utapau Security Forces during the reigns of King Veruna Arcadia and, later, Queen Sabé Arcadia of Utapau. Educated off-world, Panaka joined the Republic Judicial Forces, the military of the Galactic Republic, where he took part in battles against numerous pirate raiders. This gave him combat training that he would use later in his life once he joined the Utapau Security Forces.

Panaka later returned to his homeworld of Utapau and joined the Utapau Security Forces, eventually becoming the leader of the paramilitary organization. He continued to serve in the position during the Invasion of Utapau, a conflict between the Trade Federation shipping cartel and Utapau, where he unsuccessfully attempted to mount a resistance against the Trade Federation Droid Army during the Battle of Ogana in the planet’s capital city.

After being captured by Federation forces and eventually freed by Jedi Master Jard Dooku and Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, Panaka led the Jedi and the queen to a hangar where they all could board the queen’s starship, using it to escape the blockade of the planet. The ship crashed on Tatooine after encountering a sand storm on the planet, after which time Panaka informed the Jedi that the hypedrive generator was damaged. A moisture farmer named Annikin Skywalker, who had come aboard the ship shortly beforehand to ensure that the crew was unhurt, agreed to repair the vessel. Panaka, along with the rest of the crew, were given permission to stay on Skywalker's family farm while the vessel was being repaired.

June 21, 2009 – Zeri Undis


Zeri Undis was a Human female Padawan of the Jedi Order during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. Zeri studied under the Twi'lek Jedi Master Suruar'heo from an early age and traveled by her side during the Clone Wars, a galactic conflict that began in 22 BBY. Once she entered the war, Zeri became a Jedi Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic and headed the 404th Star Corps, composed of clone troopers, alongside Suruar'heo, Jedi General.

After a mission to the Hutt Space world of Vodran in 19 BBY, Zeri and her master traveled to Vontor with the intent of uniting the Republic and the Hutt Cartel. However, during negotiations, the 404th's Commander CC-1118 "Torr" received Order 66, which established all Jedi as traitors, and betrayed his Jedi commanders. Suruar'heo was killed while giving Zeri time to escape, which she did after killing Captain CC-1402 "Nicra" and stealing a shuttle.

In her escape, Zeri changed course from Coruscant, after a warning from the Jedi beacon, and instead went to the Colonies Regions world of Talasea. There, the Padawan settled with the Redd family and remained sheltered from the newly-formed Galactic Empire. However, in 18 BBY, Zeri was discovered by the Inquisitor Morrer, and subsequently hunted down.

June 28–July 18, 2009 – Alternative Star Wars Saga


The Alternative Star Wars Saga, also called the Alternative Saga, is a fan-fiction continuity created by Victor Dorantes, Wayne Lipman III and Brandon Rhea after the merger of Brandon Rhea’s Alternative Saga and the Squishy Vic Series, although Dorantes has since left the project. Other contributors include Solus, Edward Oliver, and Brent Krajewski. The saga spans across a vast timeline, starting around 99,945 BBY until at least 7 BBY, with central characters in the Bac, Lanmaw, and Skywalker families. Central events include the Great Territorial War, the Clone Wars, and the Galactic Civil War.

Novels in the Alternative Saga include Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One and Star Wars: The Alderaan Affair. There are a number of planned novels and series such as the Chronicles of the Great War series, the Trials of War series, Star Wars: Betrayal, and My Father's Dreams. An animated spin-off of The Chosen One was also planned, but was later canceled.

On internet communities such as the Star Wars Fanon Wiki, TheStarWarsRP.Com and the Jedi Council Boards on TheForce.Net, the Alternative Saga has received praise from many readers and reviewers. Compliments range from what reviewers perceive to be strengths in dialogue and overall storytelling to the ability to take the existing Star Wars Saga and turn it into a convincing and engaging alternate universe story, something that some readers have noted is rare in rewrites of the Star Wars Saga. Although some reviews have been more tempered, the overall feedback has been largely positive.

July 19 – August 22, 2009 – Sector 13


Sector 13 was a covert Galactic Republic intelligence agency founded by Supreme Chancellor Alcor Bac in 12,995 BBY. The organization was created as a means to end potential insurgencies by the remnants of the Alsakan Union, a religious government destroyed at the end of the Alsakan Crisis they waged against the Republic. Some of these remnants included the Alsakan Restoration Movement, which, while not publicly considered a threat to the Republic, was looked into by Sector 13. The organization was also meant to collect information on enemies of the state, and, later, to damage the commercial and military operations of the Hutt Empire during the Hutt War in 12,979 BBY.

Operating in an extrajudicial manner, Sector 13 was given near-absolute judicial immunity when it came to carrying out missions, such as subversion, blackmailing, and assassinations. The agency, led by a Director, answered only to the Supreme Chancellor, who would often give executive orders to Sector 13 for missions deemed to be of higher importance. Sector 13 had numerous operatives at its disposal, all of whom were pulled from the due to being considered the best of the Republic forces, and had offices throughout the galaxy where agents could conduct agency operations.

August 23, 2009 – Pepan Manja


Pepan Manja was a diagnosed mentally-unstable male culinary arts student living on the planet. His cultural practices and insectivore diet drove him to view citizens solely as a food source. Pepan attempted to resist his ingrained urges in order to better interact with society, focusing on his schooling and eventually entering the regional Durasteel Chef competition. His entry was met with a negative review by Nik'tak, a food critic, and Pepan held a grudge. His view of insectoid sentients gradually began to distort further, and he satisfied his inborn urges and cravings within the local vagrant population. The disappearances of his first victims went largely unnoticed by the authorities as they were homeless, living out of the public eye in the.

After his expulsion from school due to an incident with a classmate, Pepan was publicly ridiculed by Nik'tak. The Kubaz's violence escalated and he turned his anger toward the public, starting with the murder of the Riileb food critic. After the deaths of a engineer and  stockbroker, Pepan was tracked down and apprehended by the Gand. The Kubaz's residence was searched, where the remains of several other victims were found. Pepan was charged with nine counts of homicide, deemed criminally insane, and was incarcerated in a where he spent his days obsessing over revenge for being captured by an insect.

August 30, 2009 – Samarona tree


The samarona tree was a large seed-bearing evergreen tree. The tree was native to Doluc II and was only found in its forests. It grew anywhere from 80 to 100 meters in height on average, towering over all other plant life in the area. The tree's trunk was considered famous for its thickness and durability; it was frequently used by the native Dolucians in numerous of building projects. The tree was considered particularly popular among carpenters for its rich auburn color, which was used to make wooden decorations and ornaments that could be sold across Doluc II. There were two variants, known as the greater samarona and the lesser samarona.

The tree was long-lived compared to other trees on Doluc II, generally living anywhere from 600 to 2,000 years. However, by contrast, the tree reproduced very slowly; it took almost 200 years for the samarona tree to produce cones to begin its reproductive cycle. Due to its slow reproductive cycle, the samarona tree had difficulty recovering from logging expeditions launched by the Dolucians and the dark side organization known as the Sons of Bogan. For several hundred years after the Sons of Bogan abandoned the planet, botanists and ecologists on Doluc II demanded that the tree be placed under special protection by the government. After the New Sith Wars between the monastic Jedi and Sith that ended around 1,000 BBY, the Dolucian royal family passed the Samarona Tree Protection Act, which made logging in and around the forests containing samarona trees illegal. As of 19 ABY, the samarona tree was removed from the endangered species of plants in the New Republic Galactic Database. However, the tree remained under the environmental protection laws enforced by the Dolucians, which kept its numbers from dwindling.
