Alan

In Andrew's Empire
Alan was an Imperial Officer in Andrew's Empire, who was born after the Yuuzhan Vong War but before the Second Galactic Civil War. Alan was originally a Jedi child, raised away from Coruscant after the Jedi left once Abeloth was defeated. What the Jedi didn't know is that the Ossus Temple was close to space which would eventually become part of Andrew's Empire. Alan left the Jedi ranks as a young man and made his way to the Eastern Outer Rim beyond Tatooine. His ship got lost in the D'Anjon Nebula and eventually he stumbled upon the Metal Planet and Andrew's forces. He was captured and interviewed, but when Andrew noticed that he had Force Sensitivity, he asked if Alan would be his eyes and ears in the Outside World. Alan sensed that this faction of the Empire, if it could survive the coming darkness, would be well placed to restore order to the Galaxy. So he agreed to become Andrew's conduit to the Galaxy outside the nebula and provide him information. So Alan went back and forth for a decade, until the Sith Cruscade began. Then Andrew called him back and advised him that the Empire would wait until the Sith Cruscade was over before revealing themselves to the Galaxy. Alan told Andrew about the Yeda Rebel Alliance and Andrew decided that they would be his first target: to prevent the Coruscant Government from discovering his forces. Alan remained with Andrew for the rest of his life, eventually rising to the rank of Second-In-Command as Andrew's General. When the Metal Planet was taken over by the Yeda Republic, Alan went with Andrew and was then sent away to find the next faction of the Empire to attack the Yeda Republic. Alan managed to find the Foot Ship near Fondor, but then he died of old age before he could tell Andrew about it. Without instructions from Andrew, the Foot Ship Council had to wait until Emperor Palestine gave them attack orders 50 years later.

In Palestine's Empire
When Emperor Palestine was killed by Commander Stan, he realized that he needed a more reliable Second-In-Command. Vader V and Grand Admiral Aaron had turned good, Stan had killed him, and he sensed that Admiral Phedge's loyalties were in question. So Palestine spent his brief time as a spirit finding General Aaron's Force Ghost and persuading him to inhabit Stan's old body. Once Palestine left Stan's old body and shared consciousness with his Hand, Alan's spirit had taken over residence in Stan's old body. So the entity was now known as ALAN, not Stan or Palestine. Alan attacked the Jedi on Endor, partly in revenge for the death of Palestine, and partly in revenge for the death of his old master Andrew 55 years before. After the Endor Battles with the Jedi, Alan was overjoyed to find that his old master Andrew had been restored to an android body and that he could serve him once again in Palestine's Empire.
