      C-3PO (See-Threepio)

      C-3PO longs for more peaceful times, but his continued service to the Resistance — and his knowledge of more than seven million forms of communication — keeps the worry-prone droid in the frontlines of galactic conflict. Programmed for etiquette and protocol, Threepio was built by a young Anakin Skywalker, and has been a constant companion to astromech R2-D2. Over the years, he was involved in some of the galaxy’s most defining moments and thrilling battles. Since the Empire’s defeat, C-3PO has served Leia Organa, head of a Resistance spy ring aimed at undermining the First Order.

      R2-D2

      A reliable and versatile astromech droid, R2-D2 has served Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, and Luke Skywalker in turn, showing great bravery in rescuing his masters and their friends from many perils. A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant, he has an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol droid C-3PO.

      Star Commuter Shuttle

      A small ferry craft, the star commuter shuttle was used to transport passengers on short trips between worlds. For the route between Lothal and Garel, it was piloted by RX-24, a droid that specialized in space travel. During the age of the Resistance, Jarek Yeager piloted such a shuttle to ensure a clandestine meeting between Poe Dameron and secret spy Kazuda Xiono happened far away from the Colossus platform.

    • RX-24 Pilot Droid

      default

      RX-24 Pilot Droid

      RX-24 was the pilot of the star commuter shuttle that traveled from Lothal to Garel. He was genial but proper; when a young passenger suggested it, he commanded all droids to remain in the rear of the ship as Imperial code dictated. Little did RX-24 know that this was all part of a rebel scheme to gain information from an on-board Imperial.

    • Garel

      default

      Garel

      Garel is a planet not far from Lothal, and was the site of a deal for T-7 ion disruptor rifles between the Empire's Minister Maketh Tua and Amda Wabo.

    • Minister Maketh Tua

      default

      Minister Maketh Tua

      Minister Maketh Tua was a proud member of the Empire. With the rise of the Lothal rebels, Minister Tua gained the ire of Grand Moff Tarkin. Darth Vader and Agent Kallus informed her that she would meet with the Imperial leader, and Tua knew her life was in danger. She secretly contacted the Ghost team, looking for safe passage off Lothal in return for the Empire’s secrets. While they were wary, the rebels agreed and set a rendezvous point. It was not to be, however; Darth Vader knew that Tua would try and escape, and used it to his advantage. After she boarded her shuttle and the rebels neared to escort the Minister, the ship exploded. It was all a setup meant to draw out and frame the rebels. Tua was killed, a tool used for Vader’s evil machinations.

    • Amda Wabo

      default

      Amda Wabo

      Amda Wabo, a male Aqualish, was a weapons manufacturer on Garel during the age of the Empire. He had set in place a deal to sell banned T-7 ion disruptors to the Empire, but his plans fell through due to a slight language barrier...courtesy of a group of Lothal rebels.

    • T-7 Ion Disruptor Rifles

      default

      T-7 Ion Disruptor Rifles

      T-7 ion disruptor rifles were deadly, powerful weapons capable of disabling starships; when used against organic beings, the results could be gruesome. As a result, they were banned by the Senate. During the age of the Empire, Imperial forces used the disruptors to clear out worlds and, sometimes, slaughter their inhabitants, as was the case with their takeover of Lasan.

    • Cikatro Vizago

      Cikatro Vizago

      Once a leader of the Broken Horn crime syndicate on Lothal, Cikatro Vizago changed his ways (mostly) and now serves as captain of the Rebellion's stolen ore crawler.

    • IG-RM Thug Droids

      IG-RM Thug Droids

      IG-RM thug droids proved popular with gangsters, including Lothal's Cikatro Vizago, as they were commonly used as enforcers. The intimidating robotic beings used BlasTech DLT-18 laser rifles, and were developed by Holowan Laboratories -- the manufacturer responsible for IG-86 sentinel droids and General Grievous' dreaded IG-100 MagnaGuards.

    • AT-DP Walker

      default

      AT-DP Walker

      AT-DP (All Terrain Defence Pod) walkers were among the fastest Imperial vehicles of their type, designed primarily for patrols and scouting missions. They had more nefarious purposes, however. When the Empire wanted more land on the Outer Rim planet of Lothal, AT-DPs were used to quickly clear out farmers from their property. The walking tanks were also employed to combat rebel threats, including the crew of the Ghost.

    • Lasan Honor Guard AB-75 Bo-Rifle

      default

      Lasan Honor Guard AB-75 Bo-Rifle

      The AB-75 bo-rifle was the weapon of the Lasan Honor Guard, featuring a blaster barrel, bayonet, and electromagnetic pulse-generator tip. It required a great degree of skill to wield; Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau took an AB-75 from a fallen Lasat Honor Guard he defeated in battle. While a bo-rifle was a powerful weapon, its uses stemmed beyond combat. Zeb, the Lasat rebel, used his bo-rifle to complete an ancient ritual: the blaster-staff, shooting beams of yellow energy, led the Ghost through an anomaly and directly to Lirasan, the fabled Lasat homeworld.

    • Bail Organa

      default

      Bail Organa

      A member of Alderaan's royal family and the planet's representative to the Republic Senate since the time of the Clone Wars, Bail Organa earned respect on Coruscant for his honesty and his commitment to justice. Prior to the fall of the Republic, Bail served alongside Senator Padmé Amidala as a member of Chancellor Palpatine's Loyalist Committee. The two became close friends, and recruited like-minded allies to prevent Palpatine's alarming grabs for power. At the end of the war, Bail Organa adopted Padmé's daughter Leia and raised her as an Alderaanian princess. While representing Alderaan in the Imperial Senate, he continued to work secretly with allies such as Mon Mothma and Ahsoka Tano to assist rebel cells scattered across the galaxy, working towards the day that a unified Rebellion could emerge.

    • Ezra Bridger

      default

      Ezra Bridger

      One of the few to be trained as a Jedi after the fall of the Republic, Ezra Bridger grew up an orphan on the streets of Lothal during the age of the Empire. Although he had learned to be wary of strangers, his introduction to the Ghost crew, a small band of rebels fighting back against the Imperial regime, changed his outlook and his future. Training in the ways of the Force under the mentorship of Kanan Jarrus, Ezra became a Jedi Padawan and a part of the emerging rebellion. He also grew close to Hera Syndulla, Zeb, Chopper, and Sabine Wren, who was like a sister in his new found family. After several years together, Bridger vanished during the Battle of Lothal, disappearing into parts unknown in a hyperspace jump that pulled Ezra and Grand Admiral Thrawn into deep space.

    • Sabine Wren

      default

      Sabine Wren

      Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian warrior and graffiti artist with a creative and rebellious spirit. Independent by nature, during the age of the Empire a young Sabine defected from the Imperial Academy of Mandalore and joined a small rebel cell operating out of the Ghost and led by Hera Syndulla and the Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus. With a gift for colorful explosives and uniquely-painted beskar, Sabine’s signature starbird — a mark she left to sign her street art and other handiwork — inspired what would become the symbol for the Rebel Alliance.

    • Hera Syndulla

      default

      Hera Syndulla

      Once the heart of the Ghost crew during the age of the Empire, Hera Syndulla continues to serve as the captain of her ship while fighting for freedom from oppression as a general in the New Republic during an era of reconstruction. A gifted pilot with a knack for dogfighting with TIE fighters and a steadfast leader who was instrumental in leading the successful Lothal rebellion, Syndulla is now a mother, veteran, and general.

      Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios

      Meet the muscle of the Ghost team. Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios was a cunning Lasat honor guard who adopted the cause of rebellion against the Empire. Despite his hulking frame, Zeb was actually highly-educated and articulate. Still, he loved beating up stormtroopers, who he nicknamed “bucket heads.”

    • Kanan Jarrus / Caleb Dume

      default

      Kanan Jarrus / Caleb Dume

      Not every Jedi perished in Order 66. Once known by the name Caleb Dume, Kanan Jarrus survived the Emperor’s purge, going underground for years and hiding the truth about who he really was. To keep his past a secret, Kanan carried a blaster -- an uncommon practice for a Jedi -- and used a lightsaber that had to be assembled. In the years leading up to the galactic civil war, he was a leader among the Ghost crew, a small group of rebels looking to strike back against the Empire, and with the emergence of the Force-sensitive Ezra, once again embraced his identity as a Jedi Knight.
