James Stanton (Wabba The I)

James Stanton (62 BBY - 26 ABY) was a male Human from an unknown planet.

Mandalorian Civil War
Joined the Mandalorian splinter group Death Watch at the alllowed age of 16, in 46 BBY, Stanton received a special training with Overlord Tor Vizsla. In the Battle of Korda Six, against the True Mandalorians led by Jaster Mereel, Montross and Jango Fett, Stanton fought against Mereel and his Headhunter Company.

He ordered his squads to attack the Korda Defense Force but with the help of Mereel's troups, the KDF was brought to safety. Vizsla joined Stanton's troops but by ignoring Vizsla's orders, Vizsla almost lost the fights and Stanton was doing his own way. After the battle, won by the Death Watch, but with heavy loses, Vizsla became furious and summoned Stanton with his troups, with the result Stanton left the Death Watch for a while.

Overlord
James Stanton was interesting again in the Death Watch. He became a member again after the Mandalorian Civil War, in 41 BBY. His first quests were seeking information on the moon Concordia and in the capital Sundari. The leading figures appointed him as Admiral of the Death Watch. Stanton became leader of some troops based on the moon Concordia. There he founded a hideout in the abandoned mines. When he even became Overlord in 39 BBY, Stanton decided to change the main plans of the organisation, new plans were made and the targets were not longer the True Mandalorians or other peaceful organisations in the Mandalore system but the Death Watch was against the Galactic Republic's troops and and participation in the Mandalore system. James Stanton, Overlord of the Death Watch, stopped in the mid of 38 BBY as member when Republican actions were too dangerous for him and when the Mandalore found some new information about the leader of the "terrorist group" called Death Watch. After that Stanton gave information about the Death Watch, about attacks, members and headquarters, to the Republic.

During twenty years the Death Watch had no Overlord until Tor Vizsla's family member Governor Pre Vizsla became Overlord for two years after the period of Duchess Satine Kryze who was Mandalore in 20 BBY. When Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Maul became Overlord he called James Stanton has "the worst Overlord of the Death Watch ever".

Alaris Prime
Between 39 BBY and 36 BBY, after an exploration by Wookiees of the Alaris moon Alaris Prime, a colonization resolution in the Galactic Senate started the Battle of Alaris Prime between the Wookiees and the Trade Federation. Viceroy Nute Gunray, who later will fight against Stanton in the Invasion of Naboo, tried to persuade Stanton for join his Trade Federation army. Gunray's B1 battle droid SRAM-13 was sent to Stanton but he killed the droid and some Droidekas too.

After the skirmish, won by the Wookiees, Stanton discovered the abandoned camp of Attichitcuk, father of Chewbacca, and sold it to the Trade Federation, seven years after the war. What happened with the camp is still not known.

Tatooine
When arriving at the planet Tatooine in 32 BBY, when the annual Boonta Eve Classic was held. Stanton wanted to have a conversation with Senator Orn Free Ta but was stopped by Chokk, a Klatooinan guard of Jabba Desilijic Tiure at his private box. By sources, made by Bib Fortuna, Stanton himself killed the Klatooinan with his own weapon. The conversation with Orn Free Ta, probably about money, was never hold.

Viceroy Nute Gunray gave orders to Stanton for having deals on Tatooine. The Trade Federation asked him to buy starships on Tatooine but due his accident with Chokk, Stanton leaved the planet after two days.

Invasion of Naboo and aftermath
In the days before the Invasion of Naboo, a war between the Trade Federation and the Royal House of Naboo, the Royal Naboo Security Force asked James Stanton in 32 BBY if he could lead the Security Guard of Naboo. The Royal Court of Naboo did not wanted that due the Constitution of Naboo. Some laws did not allow that a "outsider" like Stanton had that title. But with acception of Queen Amidala, Stanton became Sergeant Major of the Security Guard. He served under Captain Panaka who was head of all Security Forces.

During many battles, Stanton used his CR-2 blaster pistol, the traditional weapon of the Security Forces. First of all, Stanton led his personnel to the Harte Secur where a battle against the troops of command battle droid OOM-9. In the city's Research Center, Stanton fought against the droids but his small army was driven back to the Harte Secur Airbase where they defeated the droids together with the Naboo Royal Space Fighter Corps.

During the Second Battle of Theed, Stanton and his soldiers followed the Resistance army in the streeds of Theed City. With Lieutenant Gavyn Sykes, he overpowered the Ostracoda-class gunboats. He later killed B1 battle droid RK-7 and many other droids while coacting with Nathaniel Camaran from the Resistance.

Following the death of Stanton's cousin, the Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn, he attended Jinn's funeral at the Funeral Temple in Theed City. His title Sergeant Major of the Security Guard was given to Tobias Pall, personally by Stanton at the victory celebrations. He visited the Naval Shipyards and the Troop Center when the Queen apppointed him as head of Department of Restoration.

However Stanton was in fact a Trade Federation Member, he testified against Viceroy Nute Gunray, Rune Haako and some other Neimoidians in the Supreme Court but four trials were not enough so Gunray still controlled the Federation and would later join the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

New Mandalorians
Back on Mandalore in 21 BBY he became Captain of the Mandalorian Royal Guard for some days. He followed Aran Syss who died within a skirmish on the Coronet. The Guard's main tasks were protecting New Mandalorian Duchess Satine Kryze but Stanton was more a personal advisor to Kryze. He personally killed a Death Watch assassin who tried to kill Satine, after the assassin's duel with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

He attended the funeral of Senator Onaconda Farr when Farr was killed by Lolo Purs. Other guests at the funeral were Yoda, Mace Windu, Duchess Satine Kryze, Padmé Amidala, Bail Prestor Organa, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Vice Chair Mas Amedda and many other Senators. Later, at Mandalore, he decided to give speeder pilot Aramis a funeral but Kryze asked him for being Minister in the Ruling Council of Mandalore. She appointed him to Minister of Finance but another member, Armatan, did not like that.

She appointed him just for two weeks until she found another person, suitable as Captain of the Mandalorian Royal Guard. He was followed by Dak Kryze who was a newphew of Duchess Satine Kryze. A woman followed him as Minister of Finance in the Ruling Council.

He had some critics by the Mandalorians and the Galactic Senate because he had no experience with the organisation and had a "dark period" when he was active as Overlord of the Death Watch. As weapon and symbol Stanton received the Captain's Force Staff, a weapon blocking blaster fire.

Takeover of Mandalore and Darth Maul
Sith Lord Darth Maul founded an organisation, led by himself and his brother Savage Oppress. He allied with the Death Watch, Black Sun, Nightbrothers and Pyke Syndicate organisations and also tried to ally with the Hutt Grand Council on Nal Hutta but it failed. Only Jabba the Hutt joined Maul's Shadow Collective after an attack on Jabba's Palace on Tatooine. When all those organisations were allied with the Collective, Maul and Vizsla finalized their plans for the conquest the New Mandalorian capital city on Mandalore, Sundari. Maul stated that their army was complete and that they had enough resources. In the takover, Stanton's former employer Satine Kryze would be dethroned by Death Watch Overlord Pre Vizsla. However, Vizsla betrayed the two brothers and prisoned Maul and Oppress in Sundari's prison but all other Shadow Collective members as well. But Maul escaped and battled Vizsla. Defeating the betrayer and stealing his Darksaber, Maul killed Kryze but when Maul's former Sith Master Darth Sideous arrived and battled Maul and Oppress, Oppress was killed and Maul escaped. Overwhelmed in anger, Maul allied with Stanton who arrived just after the Battle of Sundari.

During the Battle of Sundari, Maul and his Shadow Collective failed to takeover Mandalore but he and Stanton decided to liberate all members of the organisation, including Jabba's forces, Black Sun foot soldiers and Pyke Syndicate members but as well the leaders, including Ziton Moj and Lom Pyke but later, they turned their minds. Maul wanted almost nothing being related with his participation in the takeover so Stanton decided to help him with "cleaning up" Maul's past.

First of all, both guys travelled to the Oba Diah planet where the Pyke Syndicate was headquartered. First of all, Maul wanted to consult with their leader Lom Pyke but Pyke just maked a laugh when Maul appeared with a new guy. Maul killed him with his lightsaber and Stanton decided to participate in a battle. Both guys killed the whole Pyke family. Stanton went towards the main hall of the headquarters where all leaders were found. Maul decided to have a small treaty with Stanton for not abandoning and betraying each other. Also Ziton Moj, leader of a Black Sun faction, was killed by Stanton and both guys almost killed all other Black Sun members in their fortress on Mustafar. Marlo and Arok the Hutts were killed by Stanton who travalled alone to Marlo's personal castle and the Hutt Grand Council Hall where Arok was working. Jabba was the only surviving member of the council. When Stanton was killing the Hutts, Maul went to his birthplace Dathomir where he killed his own mother, Kycina, because she gave him away to Darth Sideous who betrayed him.

Zillo Beast
When Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker defeated an unidentified Zillo Beast, maybe the last living Zillo Beast, on the planet Malastare, after the Battle of Malastare Stanton moved to the Imperial palace of Doge Nakha Urus; leader of the Malastarian council for have some words with the Jedi Masters and the members of the council. Stanton voted pro for the idea of transportating the Zillo Beast to another planet but when it broke out he wanted to research the beast. Some people were against the built of the Republic Science and Technical Center on Coruscant where painful things were tested on the beast. People gave critics on him when it broke out again.

Battle of Aargonar and aftermath
The Battle of Aargonar (Mina Bonteri's husband), between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, on the Perkell Sector's planet Aargonar, was fought in 22 BBY. Stanton joined the Republic's side and along with clone troopers, he killed the husband of former Senator Mina Bonteri in the Separatist base on the planet.

After a terrorist attack on the Coruscant power generator, a Confederate-Republic peace initiative was discussed. With Padme Amidala, who he met before in the Invasion of Naboo, and Senators Onaconda Farr and Bail Prestor Organa, he discussed about it but he was already convinced by the oppisition. He was not a Senator so Stanton could not giva a vote but his opinion was seen as one of the most prominent, as killer of Bonteri's husband who joined the Separatists. Probably, in order of Voe Atell, member of the Separatist Parliament, he killed both supporting members Amita Fonti and Kerch Kushi. At the end of the bill, the Stanton-prefered side won.

Ohnaka Gang
When Hondo Ohnaka, leader of the Weequay pirates group Ohnaka Gang, asked Stanton to kill someone, Stanton detected Porla the Hutt and killed him because he used Hondo and his servants as slaves. He was rewardered with spice, received by the gang on the black market.

Stanton was not a member but Ohnaka used him to do some jobs, having his personal room at the gang's outpost on Florrum. The only condition of Ohnaka was he would not pay in credits but with other random stuff.

During the Battle of Florrum, fought between the Republic and the CIS, a Weequay bounty hunter called Shahan Alama crashed with his Flarestar-class ship on Florrum. Ohnaka was present there because his new contracts with Stanton were continued and while Alama was asking help to Ohnaka, the gang leader told Stanton might do his sentence about Alama and Stanton just took the Weequay bounty hunter to Coruscant, probably to surrender him to the Republic.

Short-time bounty hunter
As bounty hunter, several people and organisations, mostly the Galactic Republic, asked Stanton to kill or find some people. The Republic just appointed him as a "tenured bounty hunter" but some others, withouth the knowledge of the Republic, gave money or merchandise. The Republic also wanted taht Stanton was not killing people but just find them.

Vianna D'Pow was a bounty hunter who failed to steal Jango Fett's genetic material from Kamino in order to Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Tyrannous, or simply Count Dooku. D'Pow duelled with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in the city of Tipoca and escaped. Not the Republic, but Dooku hired Stanton to find and kill D'Pow because she knew about the Confederacy of Independent Systems too much. A reward of thousands of credits was given but Dooku never knew Stanton was doing the task because he used several code names in his mission. Both people never met during the quest but before and later, they would be enemies again.

After the failed tempture to attack Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker in Death Canyon, Kenobi wanted Stanton to find the several bounty hunters who where responsible for the attack. Blackmailing the male Human Mooney on Coruscant later, he gave information about others. Promising him to save his life, Stanton still killed him and some others. Kenobi became angry when he heard Stanton killed the bounty hunters when the intention was just find them and have some information so the Jedi Order or other police forces could overpower them.

Quiberon sector
In 15 BBY Stanton made his first trip to his cousin Prince Jagoda ever in his life. At the home planet R-Duba Stanton became Baron because personal advisor and former Baron Gavern Starlock tried to do an assasination on Jagoda but C-3PO, R2-D2 and Kirk Windjammer blocked this. Jagoda wanted to give the title personal advisor to James but he said there would be no other contacts between himself and the R-Duba planet so he asked for give him the title Baron because Gavern Starlock was given to the Galactic Empire's prison Belsavis. He had the title Governor of R-Duba until his death in 26 ABY.

At R-Duba he met Van P. Quist, a businessman and owner of The Droid Store. He gave him some money so Stanton had some invests in the shop but he lose to money when Quist sold his business to Human merchants. By catching some alley rats on R-Duba, Stanton had some money when he sold over 120 animals on different planets like Coruscant. The whole fleet of Dorande Gunships were given to James Stanton by Prince Jagoda but on condition that Stanton would sell them and give the money back to the people of R-Duba so Stanton did. The photon missiles, around 8.000 in total, were given to Stanton too but he sold them to different merchants on R-Duba self, like his co-partner Van P. Quist.

Rothana, a planet in the Rothana system and close to R-Duba, was the home to the Rothana Heavy Engineering company, a subsidiary of the Kuat Drive Yards. At Rothana, an Imperial planet, Stanton created a new contract to create war machines for non-Imperial organisations but with tactical advantages so the Empire would never discover Stanton's betrayel. As evidence of R-Duba's generous freedom and reception, Stanton did a set of customized All Terrain-Tactical Enforcers as a gift.

Trade Federation
After the disintegration of the Trade Federation, Stanton's main enemy in the Naboo Invasion, only the Federation's resistance held stand. That resistance was dissolved due the Imperial elimination in two battles when Customs Vizier Marath Vooro was captured. However, Darth Sideous let him free and appointed him as Commissioner of Trade and the resistance became the only surviving body of the Separatist Council. Stanton joined the resistance in 7 BBY and killed Vooro three years later and became the new Commissioner. He acted following the Imperial-Trade Federation treaty because Sideous and the stormroopers held looked after Stanton's plans and missions.

The Old Trade Federation Route was owned by the Nal Raka Criminal Empire, led by Borvo the Hutt. At Borvo's Vault on Naboo, Stanton killed some main figures in the criminal organisation but Borvo escaped with the help of his personal champion, the Wookiee Mordran. However the route was free of the Nal Raka Empire, Borvo's gang was still active after 1 ABY.

Due the difficult situation, Stanton abdicated as resistance leader in 2 BBY. He and some other members joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic while others started a new one, a fanatic Trade Federation that would never by the same as before. Stanton was also famous to be one of the few non-Neimoidians to hold such a high title within the Federation.

Prisoner
The Corellian Treaty from 2 BBY started a new period for former Commissioner Stanton and some other Trade Federation resistance members. Together with people from Alderaan, Corellia, Chandrila and other planets the treaty was signed with Stanton as representative from the former Trade Federation. From that moment he was one of the founders of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The treaty inspired thousands of other organisations and planets to follow the Alliance against the Galactic Empire.

The treaty had been suggested by Darth Vader and Vader, together with stormtroopers, invaded the building. Together with Bail Organa, Garm Bel Iblis, Mon Mothma and Jedi Master Rahm Kota, Stanton was prisoned and taken to the First Death Star because Vader ordered to take the prisoners alive and the purpose was a massacre by the Emperor himself. Galen Marek, who also signed the treaty, was not prisoned due his escape and he later duelled Vader and Sideous but was killed by that last one. Kota and Stanton escaped and saved the other Senators and later, on the Kashyyyk planet, all signers were in save, except Marek who died. Because Stanton was not a Senator, he was not allowed at the Corellian System Meetings.

Mandalore
Recalled to one of his home worlds, Stanton travelled to Mandalore again. Being Death Watch Overlord around 39 BBY, over forty years later, in 3 ABY, he fought in a skirmish against Imperial slavers.

Fenn Shysa commanded a group of Mandalorians who attacked some slavers, walking to the City of Bone. Shysa gave Stanton the potency about some Mandalorians. While Shysa's target was the control box of the slaver commander, Stanton decided to battle the slavers behind Shysa. With Leia Organa's help and Stanton's strategic arrangement, the Mandalorians won the battle and returned to their forest base. Shysa thanked Stanton who decided to return to Coruscant, together with Organa.

Relationsips
Stanton had probably relations with dozens of women but the most well-known was Jedi Aayla Secura. After her relations with Kit Fisto and Quinlan Vos she had a long during sexual relation with James and two hybrid children were born: a son Jace (born 32 BBY) and a daughter Annabel (born 34 BBY). They were more Twi'lek than Human and both were braught to the planet Ryloth. Probably he had a relationship with her Padawan too, Xiaan Amersu. Both women died in 19 BBY.
