Demas Cordd

Demas Cordd was a Rodian member of the Rebel Alliance from 7 BBY to 5 ABY. He joined after the infamous Rodian Massacre that occurred 15 BBY. He came to the Rebellion when he was 18. He lost all of his immediate family during the massacre, leaving him orphaned and alone, along with many other Rodian children.

He was taken by the Empire to a prisoner ship just days after the genocide. He was to be brought to a prison moon, but the prisoner barge was attacked by pirates, killing all Imperials on board and sparing the aliens that didn't get in the way, which was most of them. The barge was taken control of by the pirates, redirecting them to the Taris, a polluted Outer Rim world.

The pirates were later arrested around 8 BBY by the Empire for illegal alien-trafficking. Demas and the others were reluctantly let off by then-Captain Stryker Perox. A year later, Demas found a Rebellion recruiter, and was let in as a standard infantryman.
