Brexton Gnaster (ImperialOne)

"You're the best survivor I've ever known, Commander."

- CT-8934, "Badger", to Brexton.

Brexton Gnaster was a force sensitive Human Jedi Knight who was a Jedi Commander of 414th Clone Battalion, a Rebel freedom-fighter, and eventually a New Republic military leader. He also co-founded the New Jedi Order with Luke Skywalker but eventually left it due to a falling out between the two.

Brexton and his twin brother Denton were born in 34 BBY to former Jedi Knight Dahlia Gnaster and her husband Republic Defense Officer Dayton Gnaster. After being identified as force sensitive, the Jedi Seeker Rahm Davos took the twins to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. At thirteen, Brexton was chosen by the young Jedi Master Johanna Su-Tra, while his brother was not chosen by a master and was assigned to the Agricultural Corps. Almost immediately after being made a padawan, Master Su-Tra was given command of the new 414th Clone Battalion. Brexton served as Jedi Commander of the Battalion until Order 66, when Master Su-Tra sacrificed herself to save Brexton. After escaping, Brexton became an engineer on the Benevolent, a smuggling ship. A few months after serving as an engineer, he revealed himself to be a Jedi to his fellow crew members after they were ambushed on Castillia.

In 18 BBY, Brexton traveled to his homeworld in search for his mother, who could complete his training. He eventually found his mother and she continued his training, albeit for a short time. After starting training, Imperial Purge Troopers, led by Denton, who was now an Imperial Inquisitor, discovered the two Jedi. Brexton was able to flee while Dahlia held off her son and escaped. In 1 BBY, the crew of the Benevolent, along with Brexton, joined the new Rebel Alliance and conducted many successful covert smuggling operations. The crew participated in the Battle of Endor and later the Battle of Jakku. After the surrender of Imperial forces in 6 ABY, he and his longtime partner Janet Argos had a son, named Brendon. In 7 ABY, Brexton helped Luke Skywalker found the New Jedi Order, but left after disagreeing with Luke on a number of issues. He went on to become a Commander in the New Republic Military and eventually retired in 20 ABY. He eventually returned to military service after the resurrected Palpatine and Empire returned and began invading the Galaxy.
