"Government"
Brendol "The General" Hux: Head of Communications for the current government and its main enforcer. Never referred to by his first name and is instead known solely as Hux or "The General" due to his almost militarist style and demand for perfection. His father Brendol Hux (Snr) also held the job many years previously and Hux has a huge legacy to fill. Of both Irish (Father) and Scottish (Mother) descent so his speech is accented.
Ben "Ren" Solo: Hux's long-time partner and second-in command. Official title is "Special Advisor" to Hux's position but he is well known for being a more unhinged form of enforcer (compared to Hux's demeanour). His relationship with Hux was initially controversial due to his family background but the pair are almost a force of nature when working and plotting together and any doubts about Ren's loyalty are swiftly shut down by Hux or Ben himself. Nickname is Ren but reasons are unknown.
"Phasma": Home secretary. Real name is not very commonly known but she has earned the notorious nickname 'Phasma' for her uncanny ability to appear exactly where she is needed and disappear from trouble just as quickly. Her skills and efficiency as a worker is almost inhumane and she is loyal to a fault.
Dopheld Mitaka: One of Phasma's special advisors. A somewhat nervous disposition, he is often the subject of ridicule but has proven to be a good worker.
Prime Minister Snoke: The current Prime Minister and the man whom Hux and Ren are trying to keep in power. Referred to jokingly as "Supreme Leader" due to his constant need to be made aware of and updated on every single situation which arises.
"Opposition"
Leia "General" Organa: Head of Communications for the Opposition Party. Runs her party like it were her own personal family. So if people toe the line and behave then she is a benevolent presence but as soon as dissent rises its head her targeted aggression is notorious. Also goes by the nickname "The General" which is of great personal affront to Hux.
Poe Dameron: Shadow home secretary. Charismatic and loyal. Similarly to Phasma he is greatly skilled at his work and is one of the few members of the opposition Hux feels is competent enough to be a serious threat.
Luke Skywalker: Leader of the Opposition. Having already held the office of Prime Minister two terms ago, Luke managed to hold on to the position of Leader due to his popularity within the party despite his public appearances becoming more and more sporadic.
Rey Kenobi: Special Advisor to Leia. A recent addition to politics, she has shown great potential to be a powerful player. She also has a mild history with Ren and has rejected several offers to cross the floor and switch parties.
Finn "Traitor": Previously worked for Hux in Communications but crossed the floor to join the Opposition. Now works as a special advisor to Poe and Hux makes a point to never refer to him by his real name, only 'Traitor'.
"Other"
Han Solo: Journalist. Once faced damaging accusations of smuggling private information but it was never proven. Ex-husband of Leia Organa and father of Ben Solo. He has virtually no relationship with his son but often uses his journalistic contacts to assist his ex-wife since they still share an amiable relationship.
