A native of the planet Garos IV and veteran of the Garosian Civil War, Ben Carver joined up with the Alliance in 6 BBY and rose through the ranks to command the 41st Pathfinders- one of the Rebellion’s elite mobile infantry units. The son of a blastersmith and arms importer, he leverages family connections to keep the Alliance and the 41st supplied with “missing shipments” intended for Imperial customers, as well as custom modifications by unit armorers, always looking to get an edge against the more numerous forces of the Empire.
As a weapons expert, Ben prefers Heavy Repeaters and Marksman Rifles, while never being without a trusted sidearm. His tactical experience in the conflicts on his homeworld of Garos IV has been invaluable to the 41st’s combat record of smashing Imperial forces in direct engagements across the rocky terrain of Bolivar and a dozen other battlefronts. The Mauston III campaign has proven a challenge for the 41st, as a heavy imperial presence has stifled the troop buildup as the 41st sends in individual operatives on civilian transports, and recruits from a local population that sees the tightening grip of the empire as a threat to their way of life.
Bolivos
The Bolivos are the subterranean dwelling indigenous species of Bolivar. They have remained hidden and undiscovered until recent coaxium mining operations have brought them to the surface.
The Bolivos but are extremely hostile to all non Bolivos and they are expert scavengers, utilizing weaponry and equipment of their victims. A vast number of Bolivos have made it off their homeworld and have been seen raiding settlements on nearby systems.
Be alert, as the hostile conditions of their native environment has conditioned the Bolivos biology for survival, they are RESILIENT and possess regenerative qualities allowing them the ability to SELF REVIVE if met unchecked. The Bolivos are known to carry necklaces of various rare materials.
BOSSK
One of the most feared bounty hunters of the galaxy, Bossk uses his natural Trandoshan hunting instincts to capture his prey. During the Clone Wars, the red-eyed reptilian partnered with Aurra Sing, Castas and young Boba Fett. Bossk doesn't care much for vendettas or politics. He is in it to get paid.
Bossk is currently working the Mauston system out of the local Bounty Hunters Guild.
Cad Bane
A ruthless bounty hunter from the planet Duro, Cad Bane was the preeminent blaster-for-hire in the galaxy at the time of the Clone Wars. No quarry was too dangerous for Bane... if the price was right.
HK-47
The ancient Hunter Killer droid was unearthed on Bolivar by various hands and was refurbished and by droid tech Tyvak Dara.
Over the events of Survivor's Endeavor, ownership of HK-47 had change multiples, ending with Han Solo as they fled the Bolivar system.
The improvised powersource of Coaxium was used to get HK-47 operational, however it led to catastrophic system failures and HK's emergency shutdown.
On Mauston III HK's chassis was repaired using various components taken from the Dark Trooper project. HK once again fully opperational has since registered with the Bounty Hunter's Guild.
During the events of Ambition's Toll while fighting with the Imperial troops HK came across an unactivated Dark Trooper. HK was able to get up to the Dark Trooper and begin uploading a unknown code into the Dark Trooper. Code was cut short by a few seconds, but it now exists deep in the Dark Trooper systems. Imperial Techs then attempted to reprogram the HK for Imperial use, but it failed. Disabled and left at Tyvakk’s shop

Keiv’altti (Admin)
Keiv’altti’s early life was wrought with conflict, unable to remember a time without it as a mandalorian youngling. Born in 21 BBY at the tail end of the Clone Wars, his mothers’ were jumpers (and skilled ones at that). Levia Toro, notorious for training the majority of the Bo Katan’s Night Owls. Her wife and partner-in-crime, Kleira Toro was a talented mechanic beyond words, able to turn just about any piece of junk into a fully functional object to suit her needs. Kleira was unfortunately one of the countless lives lost during the Siege of Mandalore. Keiv evidently inherited Kleira’s curiosity and determination when it came to technology. He mastered the Rising Phoenix.
Once he came of age, Keiv enlisted in the Imperial Super Commando ranks under the command of Governor Gar Saxon—though he very quickly became disillusioned to the glory once he witnessed the true meaning of a Imperial Soldier’s duties. After his romanticized vision of ‘peace’ had been shattered, he sought the help of his best friend, Tristian Wren who was able to cover for Keiv long enough to escape before the Governor placed a bounty on his head.
And with that, Keiv just barely escaped mandalore aboard a freighter…which was unfortunately attacked. Keiv lost an arm in the fight, but escaped with his life. He felt the heavy weight of guilt in the pit of his stomach, leaving behind his mother and siblings. It was better they thought he was dead. Keiv was now a ghost in the wind. After befriending CV-23 and salvaging the G9 Rigger he’d escaped on, Keiv briefly founded an independent rebel cell before being recruited by the Ghost Crew. Mostly thanks to a bit of convincing with Tristian’s sister, Sabine.
Liana Hallik (Admin)
Mauston III is just the latest in a string of places I can't call home. Every time I start to settle down, the Empire closes in and I have to leave. Rebels are arriving, too, but if either group found out who I really am... well, that's why I'll be leaving soon.
So why in the Nine Corellian hells did I make friends with that furry alien girl? I should never have bought that cookie from her shop. But I couldn't stand the way everyone just ignored her when she was trying so hard to make a sale, and I liked her bargaining spirit when she tried to talk me into buying more "for my friends" (wouldn't that be nice).
Now we share a roof, and meals, and laughter... it almost feels like home.
Home... I remember just a little about living in busy, crowded Coruscant, but then my parents and I moved to a quiet farm where my mother was killed by Imperial soldiers. I thought I had a home with the Saw Gererra's partisans, but he abandoned me when the Empire closed in. And after what happened on Skuhl... seems like it's my fault all my homes fall apart.
It'd be better for everyone if I just lived on my own, but I can't desert my friend now. I'll get her off this planet and then I'll be more careful not to get close to anyone. Just gotta keep my head down for a few more days until I have enough credits. Durring the events of Ambition's Toll she was tasked with an assasination of the notorious bounty hunter Bossk. Though she failed to kill Bossk like the Malgun leader wanted, the mask changed leaders so many times that she was able to avoid repercussions. While Imperials were suspicious of her and she had several verbal confrontations with Directors, she managed to avoid arrest. She thought being a waitress at Seela's shop was a temporary job, but it's still working out so she plans to follow wherever she sets up.
Ooba
Growing up on a low-tech planet of furry forest-dwellers, Ooba never learned much about blasters or technology. But when Imperial soldiers came to prepare her planet for mining, she and many of her people were taken captive. She managed to escape when the ship went down, and ended up on Mauston as a cook at Seela's cantina. She is curious and creative, and though she's not a fighter, she tries to help people in need, especially children. She is well-known for her delicious cookies and Mandalorian Uj'alayi cake, and she would definitely never cook and eat people...
Recclan Olyon (Admin)
Recclan Olyon has a perfectly legal and legitimate job since leaving his past life behind him and does not want to discuss politics, especially with strangers or the authorities. He enjoys a strong splash of caf and watching others use his products and accessories to makes sure there are less people on this forsaken planet.
There are a number of wares available for purchase at the munitions shop (utilizing in game currency), from Thermal Detonators (EG-67s), Ammo, and even Full Blasters.
Business in Vess was significantly successful. Possesses an Ion cannon in secret stock. Meanwhile, the terrible bombardment of Folan revealed even more lucrative coaxium veins beneath the surface and renewed Imperial interest in making sure the coaxium is mined under their watchful eye. With a glimmer of cynical hope riding high on a string of financial success in the legal blaster retail industry, Recclan has decided to see what can be made of the return to Bolivar as Mayor of the temporary settlement of 'New Folan'. Status: Dobra grancha (Huttese) I am grand
Seelazi’veri (Admin)
Madame Seelazi’veri runs a bordello on Ryloth where she dances, sings, serves food and drinks, and protects her clan fiercely.
After a slaver raid, almost assuredly orchestrated by the Empire, left her with nothing but a pile of ashes, Seelazi’veri vowed to create a safer place for her and her newfound clan. Tol’Alema was borne from this vow and that protection extended to any wayward soul who needed a soft place to land, somewhere to hide, or a quick route off planet.
Seela will do whatever it takes to protect those in her clan and her employ so, when word came down that Chiss Grand Admiral Thrawn was scheduled to pay a visit to Ryloth to personally take care of the Free Ryloth Movement’s insurgency, Madame Seela was already in motion. Profitable business with the bordello meant securing her own ship, the Fiery Spirit, was not an issue.
Working with Han Solo in his Cantina on Bolivar seemed to be the perfect ruse to buy some time and get a look around. Focused on her own goals, Seelazi’veri was not too sure what actually happened on that windy, dust-strewn planet but, in the end, she met a Corellian Pit Boss in need of a ride; something she was able to provide, at a cost. She took him to Ryloth, gave him a small craft and a task; get these women off-planet. They needed protection and he could provide it.
Meanwhile, Seela took her three strongest, Diaz’iveri, Teera’aziveri, and Sienn with her to Mauston III. They set up a cantina there to serve the Imperial Outpost...and to listen.
Tol’Alema will always be their home but, until it is safe to go back, Madame Seela’s Mobile Lounge aboard the Fiery Spirit will have to suffice. Her clan may be scattered to the reaches of the galaxy but Seelazi’veri knows they are safe and, with that knowledge and her goals in mind, she will continue traveling, ear to the ground, and helping as many wayward souls as come her way. Besides, she is finding traveling with this crazy Corellian kind of fun...and profitable.
Tyvak Dara
Tyvak Dara is droid salesman/technician who one day wants to own a ship large enough to run a droid shop out of. He ended up on mining planet Bolivar to study the droids here and scavenge after the battles.
With the aid of the others on Bolivar, Tyvak was able to get a salvaged HK unit fully "functional". He has since moved his shop to the nearby system of Mauston III, and has taken a consulting contract with the Imperials on a top secret project.
Colonel Vann Kyrell (Admin)
Hailing from Carida, he is used to operating in rugged and unforgiving environments. He actually values the lives of his troopers, and does his best not to sacrifice troops unnecessarily.

Troops from his Division can typically be found on Bolivar, Mauston III and Knox Prime.
Veld Grend Durron (Admin)
ISB ‘Commander’ Durron.
Veld Grend Durron, a human male from the planet Chandrila. He was born in 26 BBY and grew up hearing stories from the Clone Wars. These stories prompted him to join the Imperial Army as a soldier, but was recruited from their ranks early on to join the ISB. Not much is known of his work inside the ISB as most of his work included classified information. However, recently Durron was sent to the Outer Rim to deal with the Director Hyde situation. He was given the military rank of Commander and took command of a small fleet and arrived in the Bolivar sector in the midst of the Bolivar disaster. Durron arrived on the planet to observe the facilities that Director Hyde had been responsible for and discovered the local garrisons were being overrun by local Bolivo and Rebel forces alike. After assisting with calming the chaos, Durron returned to the fleet to begin assisting the ground troops, but Admiral Byre had already decided to bombard the planet. Durron was responsible for organizing the evacuation of Bolivar and did his best to leave no person behind, Imperial or otherwise. Now Commander Durron has taken temporary command of the Bolivar Sector Fleet after Byre’s recall and is personally overseeing the operations that Admiral Byre and Director Hyde had been in charge of. This will include Mauston III.
