Chamberlyn (ASWS)

"We have a job to do, so let's just get it done. It doesn't matter who's in charge."

- Chamberlyn

Chamberlyn was a male lieutenant in the Utapau Security Forces and a member of the Veermok Resistance, a rebel group opposed to the Trade Federation shipping cartel's occupation of Utapau during the invasion of the planet in 22 BBY.

Early life
Chamberlyn joined the Utapau Security Forces sometime prior to the Invasion of Utapau, a conflict between Utapau and the Trade Federation shipping cartel in 22 BBY. Chamberlyn's eyes was injured during a training accident, requiring him to wear an eye patch.

Rebellion
In 21 BBY, the Galactic Senate of the Galactic Republic passed the Republic Anti-Slavery Law, forbidding Republic companies from using slave workers while operating outside Republic jurisdiction. Utapau's monarch, Queen Sabé Arcadia, was one of the principal supporters of the bill's passing. The Trade Federation was outraged that the bill passed, as it directly impacted the corporation's bottom line, so in an attempt to force the law's overturning the Federation blockaded and, after one month of failed negotiations between Utapau and the Federation, subsequently invaded Utapau in 22 BBY. The Federation solidified their occupation after most of the planet during the Battle of Ogana, during which time the Federation occupied the capital city of Ogana. This occupation caused Queen Arcadia, along with her advisers and head of security Panaka, to flee the planet in the hopes of reaching the safety of Coruscant, the capital of the Republic.

In the days that followed, Chamberlyn and members of the Utapau Advisory Council, a group of advisers to Queen Arcadia that included Ogana Governor Sio Bibble, political and economic adviser Horace Vanicl, and Chief Architect Hugo Eckener, came together and began discussing the formation of an insurgent movement against the Federation. They group decided that, should it be formed, it would be called the Veermok Resistance, named after the non-sentient veermok that lived on Utapau. Around that same time, Chamberlyn's men captured TC-14, a Federation protocol droid and personal assistant to Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, while it was wandering the streets of Ogana. Chamberlyn reprogrammed the droid to gather information for the resistance once it was placed back into the Federation’s hands.

Chamberlyn and the others held another meeting on a night when many of the city’s citizens were starting to rebel themselves, officially beginning the Rebellion in Ogana. During the meeting, Chamberlyn briefed the others on his plan for using TC-14 to gather information, which they approved. With their approval, Chamberlyn declared that the Veermok Resistance had been officially born.

Personality and traits
Chamberlyn was regarded by some such as Governor Sio Bibble as having a collected personality, being someone who was straight-laced and composed. One of the only times Bibble saw him in the opposite state was during the meeting that officially began the Veermok Resistance, indicating to the governor that the occupation was taking its toll even on the most collected of people. Despite his outward appearance during the Rebellion in Ogana, Chamberlyn did not feel any regrets over the occupation, as he felt that there was nothing he as a member of the Utapau Security Forces could have done to prevent it.

Although he associated himself with the Advisory Council for the purposes of the resistance, Chamberlyn had a low opinion of politicians. He felt they were all partisan hacks, and he cared very little about them or their thoughts on any matter.

Talents and abilities
Sometime prior to the Rebellion in Ogana, Chamberlyn developed a skill for reprogramming droids, specifically protocol droids. He used this skill when he reprogrammed the Federation protocol droid TC-14 to gather information for the Veermok Resistance.
