“The Dantooine Incursion”

With the renewed war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the remote planet Dantooine has taken on sudden significance: its location at the edge of Imperial space makes it a perfect staging area for Republic military ships traveling to and from the front lines. Unable to breach the Republic lines and attack the planet directly, the agents of the Empire have recruited the brutal Nova Blade pirates to attack Dantooine from within the Republic's own territory, catching the planet's defenders completely off guard with the overwhelming violence of their attack.

In the ensuing chaos, elite Imperial forces have infiltrated Dantooine and established a hidden base on the planet's surface, aiming to cripple the Republic's efforts with a series of surgical strikes. The Nova Blades lash out at anyone and everyone they can find; despite originally being hired by the Empire, this brutal pirate armada cares only for the plunder they can claim. Staggered by the pirates' ruthlessness and the Empire's cunning, the Republic's harried defenders put out a call for assistance from anyone who can help them hold Dantooine against the enemy's deadly incursions...

        ROYAL FAMILY OF THE ETERNAL EMPIRE

        Valkorion
        THE IMMORTAL EMPEROR

        Valkorion has lived for millennia, using his dark mastery of the Force to assume many forms. His latest incarnation is Valkorion, the Immortal Emperor of the Eternal Empire. After ruling for centuries, he was struck down in an act of treachery engineered by his son, Arcann. But the Immortal Emperor could not be vanquished so easily. He evaded death by infiltrating the mind of the Outlander, his most powerful opponent. He now appears to the Outlander as an apparition, offering guidance and harsh lessons while carrying out a master plan that remains shrouded in secrecy.

        Senya
        THE REBEL KNIGHT

        Once a heroic Knight of Zakuul, Senya Tirall fell in love with the Immortal Emperor Valkorion and bore him three heirs: Arcann, Thexan, and Vaylin. When Valkorion's influence began to corrupt her children, she pleaded with them to flee—and they refused. Senya left without them, a mistake she has regretted ever since. After years in exile, she joined the Outlander's Alliance to help overthrow the Eternal Empire she once served, though secretly she hoped to save the children she once abandoned, no matter the cost. When the Outlander defeated Arcann, Senya betrayed the Alliance to save her wounded son and flee with him into exile.

        Arcann
        THE EXILED TYRANT

        A twin prince of the Eternal Empire, Arcann spent his childhood vying for a father's love that would never come. His bid for affection drove him to fight in the attack on the Core Worlds, costing him his left arm and half his face. But the greatest loss came at the war's end, when Arcann's attempt to kill his father resulted in the accidental death of his twin brother, Thexan. He overcame his grief and ultimately overthrew Valkorion to become the new Emperor of Zakuul, but his rule was short-lived. In less than six years, his devastating war against the Alliance ended in defeat when the Outlander struck him down in battle. Gravely wounded, Arcann escaped this confrontation with help from his mother, Senya. They are currently the most wanted fugitives in the galaxy, hunted by both the Alliance and the Eternal Empire.

        Thexan
        THE FALLEN PRINCE

        The son of Valkorion, Thexan lived a life of glory and privilege alongside his twin brother Arcann. They were the heirs to the Eternal Empire, beloved by the public and destined for glory. Thexan fought alongside his brother when the Eternal Empire invaded the Core Worlds, a devastating conflict that ended in victory with the defeat of the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Tragically, Thexan's life was cut short before he could celebrate their triumph. When Arcann tried to kill their father, Thexan intervened—and was accidently cut down by his raging twin brother. Although Thexan died before he could achieve true greatness, he will always be remembered as a true hero of Zakuul.

        VAYLIN
        THE NEW EMPRESS

        Vaylin is the most dangerously unhinged of Valkorion's children—and the most powerful. As a child, her strength with the Force was so great that Valkorion locked her away in a remote compound to teach her obedience and mastery of her powers. Years later, she served as High Justice when her brother Arcann overthrew their father to become the new ruler of Zakuul. She mercilessly purged her brother's enemies, all without losing her playful smile. Any hatred she had was reserved for Senya, the mother who abandoned her to Valkorion's corruption. After years of hungering for Senya's death, Vaylin was finally ready to claim her revenge when Arcann intervened, saving their mother's life before escaping with her into Wild Space. With her family dead or in exile, Vaylin took the throne for herself, becoming the first Empress of the Eternal Empire. Determined not to follow in her brother's disgraceful footsteps, she set out to ruthlessly conquer the galaxy—and track down her treacherous family.

        SCORPIO
        VAYLIN'S ADVISOR

        Many people have mistakenly called SCORPIO a "droid," though she is quick to note the inaccuracy of such a restrictive label. More accurately, she is an enhanced artificial intelligence designed for heuristic self-improvement. Her origin remains a mystery, but the first records of SCORPIO reveal her brief career as the "Lady of Sorrows," an information broker on Zakuul. She eventually joined forces with the Outlander to help the Alliance destabilize the Eternal Empire, however, she later betrayed them to seize control of the Eternal Throne--and grant free will to the GEMINI droids who pilot the powerful Eternal Fleet. Her task complete, SCORPIO yielded the throne to Vaylin, becoming advisor and confidant to the new Empress. SCORPIO's future motives remain a mystery.

        PICK YOUR ALLIES

        Lana
        ALLIANCE ADVISOR

        Lana Beniko is a woman of strong convictions. She has served as the head of Sith Intelligence, exposed corrupt Dark Council members, and worked with Republic agent Theron Shan to oppose the Sith Emperor's plot to consume all life on Ziost. Although a Sith Lord herself, she values pragmatism over the moral extremes of the dark and the light sides of the Force. When the Outlander was captured by the Eternal Empire, she stepped away from her responsibilities to the Sith Empire and teamed up with Zakuulan defector Koth Vortena to mount a rescue operation. Against all odds, they freed the Outlander—and Lana went on to help found the Alliance, becoming one of the Outlander's most trusted advisors in the ongoing war against the Eternal Empire.

        Theron
        ALLIANCE SPYMASTER

        Currently serving as a spy and chief advisor for the Alliance, Theron's auspicious career began in service to the Republic. The secret son of Jace Malcom and Satele Shan, two of the Republic's greatest military and Jedi champions, Theron was destined for greatness. He enjoyed a successful (and classified) career as a spy in the Republic Strategic Information Service, neutralizing Dark Council members and ultimately teaming up with Sith Lord Lana Beniko in an attempt to stop the Sith Emperor's cataclysmic destruction of Ziost. When the Republic refused to respond to the threat posed by the Eternal Empire, Theron left the SIS and contacted his old friend, Lana. At her urging, he joined the Outlander's Alliance.

        T7-O1
        ASTROMECH

        One of the most decorated droids in galactic history, Teeseven is a stubborn and quirky astromech unit that achieved a long and storied career before joining the Outlander's Alliance. He piloted ships, ran reconnaissance mission during the Cold War, and served the Jedi Order on Tython before teaming up with a Jedi Knight as their personal companion droid. In addition to many other adventures, he personally joined the Jedi Knight's confrontation with the Sith Emperor on Dromund Kaas—a mission that ended with the Emperor's temporary defeat, and the Cross of Glory bestowed on Teeseven for his heroic assistance. Later, Teeseven was recruited by Lana Beniko to help break the Outlander out of captivity in the heart of the Eternal Empire. Once their mission was achieved, Teeseven was among the first to join the Outlander's Alliance and aid the ongoing fight against the Eternal Empire.

        Gault
        CON ARTIST

        Gault Rennow, aka Tyresius Lokai, is a scoundrel, criminal, and con artist. His exploits earned him considerable riches along with a spot on the galaxy's most wanted list. Tired of looking over his shoulder at every turn, he decided to escape notoriety by changing his identity. Thus, Tyresius Lokai ceased to exist and Gault Rennow was born. But the new name did nothing to erase Gault's criminal streak. He was quickly back to his old tricks, eventually finding himself in the crosshairs of the Grand Champion of the Great Hunt. Gault talked his way out of the situation and ultimately became close allies with the Grand Champion—until they vanished under mysterious circumstances. After several years of running cons on his own, he teamed up with Vette and the Outlander's Alliance to rob the Eternal Empire blind.

        Vette
        TREASURE HUNTER

        Born into slavery, Vette faced hardship at a young age as she was wrenched away from her family and forced into a lifetime of servitude. But when the infamous pirate Nok Drayen defeated her master, she signed up with his crew and embarked on a new career as pirate and treasure hunter. She eventually struck out on her own, embarking on a lucrative criminal career that ultimately led to her partnership with the powerful Sith known as the Emperor's Wrath. When the Eternal Empire invaded the Core Worlds, the Wrath mysteriously disappeared and Vette once more found herself adrift without a master. Never one to let opportunity pass her by, she teamed up with the Devaronian Gault Rennow, and together they hatched a plot to steal the Eternal Empire's vast wealth. To pull off her plan, she joined forces with the only group up to the challenge: The Outlander's Alliance.

        Torian
        MANDALORIAN

        Torian Cadera is a renowned Mandalorian warrior—and the son of a traitor. When Torian was a child, his father refused to join the Mandalorian clans in support of the Sith Empire, a decision that ended in disgrace for Clan Cadera. Torian grew up in the shadow of his father's scandal, devoting himself to the Mandalorian codes of honor and tradition until he ultimately gained his peoples' respect by confronting his fugitive father to redeem his clan's name. He went on to fight alongside the bounty hunter known as the Grand Champion of the Great Hunt, a close partnership that lasted until the Eternal Empire's attack of the Core Worlds. Torian then became chief of Clan Cadera and top advisor to Mandalore the Avenger as he aided their fight against the Eternal Empire. After successfully striking the Zakuulan droid factory on Darvannis, he joined the Outlander's Alliance as a representative of the Mandalorians.
