STORMTROOPERS THE FOOT SOLDIERS of the First Order drow upon lhe heritoge of the
ormoured infantry units that blozed across the battlefields of the Clone Wars, in the final years of the Old Republic. The stark white armour thot was once an honourable Symbol of defence was transformed under the Empire into the faceless icon of an evil regime. Treaty stipulations forbade the building and mobilisation of stormtrooper forces after the Galactic Civil War, but little does the N ew Republic realise that the First Order is escalating its military preparations for a bold strike. Stormtroopers once again are leading the charge.

TRAINING REGIME During the time of the G a la ctic Empire, inconsistent academ y standards led to stormtroopers o f varying skill and ability. O ut of necessity, the First O rde r enforces a far more regimented opprooch to training to ensure excellence ocross its reduced stormtrooper ranks. First O rder stormtrooper training emphasises improvisotion and counter-insurgency operations, as w ell as guerrilla tactics. N o longer tasked w ith ensuring layalty to a dominant galactic government, these soldiers instead need to know how to cla w their w a y back into power. This mindset has created o more well-rounded com bat education thon the training of lhe past.

H A V IN G STUDIED JEDI SKILLS as well as arcane dark side lore, Kylo Ren is lhe embodimenl of conflict, drawing upon contradictory teachings and deriving power from discord. Ren has taken pains fo bury his pasl, though he uses the unpleasant emotions that stir within him when reflectíng upon his youth to fuel his anger and dark powers. Through his veins courses the bloodline of the mosl pow erfuljedi and Silh, and Ren sees it as his birlhright to rule the weaker beings in the galaxy. As his power rises, it eclipses his past life leaving the young man further isolated. Kylo Ren aspires to build immunity to the light side - to succeed where Darth Vader and his sentimentality once failed. Kylo Ren is the m ost gifted apprentice of Suprem e Leader Snoke, a mysterious figure steeped in dark side know ledge w ho com m ands íhe f irst Order from a distance.
LIGHTSABER COMBAT The lightsaber skills of Kylo Ren are, ironically, responsible for that elegan! weapon and its combat forms remaining unknown to the galaxy at large. Kylo Ren betrayed the other Jedi students studying with Master Luke Skywalker, and ^ is responsible for their destruction. He has well eorned the nickname "Jedi Killer", whispered in the MT First Order ranks, as it was * his deodly lightsaber skills that prevented the return of the Jedi Order. ;

KYLOS LIGHTSABER Kylo Ren's unusuol lightsaber is an ancient design, doting back thousands of years to the Great Scourge of Malachor. The crossguard blades, or quillons, are tributaries of the primary central blade, ali spawning from a cracked kyber crystal that is the couse of their ragged, unstoble oppearonce. An array of focusing crystal octivators split lhe plasma stream into perpendicular blade energy channels, creating lhe quillons. The emitter shrouds on the crossguard protect the bearer's hand from lhe smaller blades.

best, the boisterous M az Kanafa has carved herself a safe haven on the fringe of the goloxy, where she holds court in an ancient castle as the preeminent font of smuggler wisdom. Kanata has got many a young brigand started in the freebooting trade, and has a preternatural gift for sensing the shifting tides of fortune in the galaxy. She has weathered many regime changes in her long life, and has not only survived, but found ways to thrive. S tatu e o f a n a n c ie n t J e d i M a s te r

Having slood ot lhe shore of o freshwoter loke for millennia, M oz's coslle is o peculiar blend of oncienl ond current. Sensor orroys and Communications gear help keep M a z connected to the w ider galaxy, but a short w a lk from the castle plunges visitors into a primordial forest seemingly never touched by technology. M a z enjoys this controst. To her, it is yet another monifestation o f a cosmic balance.
PIRATE LEGEND M o z 's diminutive form seems at odds w ith her legendary exploits, though her larger-than-life personality bridges these extremes. A Affable, eccentric and wise, she has seen much in her centuries o f life ond H f l H can ropidly take stock o f new acquaintances. In recent decades, M a z | has kept secret one o f her greatest J H strengths - an affinity for the Force. Though she has known Jedi (and hos a few tall tales regording encounters with Knights and Mosters), she never w olked , that paih herself, instead relying on her strong connection to the Force to keep her out of danger.
