So, now you get to know the Republic Commando team better than 'a team of varying species'. I followed US military ranks for this, since the movies seem to do it as well. On that note, enjoy!


...ACCESSING REPUBLIC COMMANDO OPERATING PERSONNEL FILES...

Lieutenant Commander Adiri, Lara

Native Military Branch: New Republic Navy, Special Weapons and Operations Division

Species: Mirialan

Homeworld: Mirial

Gender: Female

Age: 32 (Galactic Standard Years)

Eye color: Yellow

Hair color: Brown

Current status: Active, CO of Fireteam Krayt and assigned to Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano and Jedi Padawan Leia Skywalker-Naberrie.

Notable features: Prosthetic right arm (concealed), myriad scars as a result of her participation in [REDACTED] and the Mandalorian Demilitarization conflict

Notes: Lara Adiri is as gifted a warrior as a non-Force sensitive can be. While her leadership skills are somewhat inconsistent, her results in the battlefield have resulted in a meteoric rise through the ranks of the NRCs. Originally drafted for the garrison on Mirial, Adiri shattered many previous short-to-medium range marksmanship records and ranked fourth in CQB training for the entire sector. She is a skilled slicer, an excellent shot, and an all around seemingly unbeatable warrior.

Unfortunately, this has resulted in a minor superiority complex and a tendency to try and accomplish a mission by herself. It is this analyst's hope that placing her next to the somewhat reckless operating dynamics shared by Knight Tano and Padawan Skywalker will curb this undesirable trait.


Master Gunnery Sergeant Zuelch, Arian

Native Military Branch: New Republic Navy, Interstellar Marine Corps, 247th Heavy Weapons Infantry Company

Species: Human

Homeworld: Carida

Gender: Male

Age: 56 (Galactic Standard Years)

Eye color: Blue/red (synthetic)

Hair color: Light brown/grey

Current status: Active, assigned to Fireteam Krayt as a Heavy Weapons Specialist and second-in-command of Commander Adiri.

Notable features: Sports a well-kept beard, has a prosthetic left eye due to injuries sustained in the Clone Wars. Has an implanted communication suite on the left side of his face.

Notes: A veteran of the Clone Wars and former Drill Sergeant on Carida's Armed Forces Academy, Arian Zuelch is a career soldier with undying devotion to the New Republic and a perfect sense of discipline and morality...except when it comes to weapons. Sergeant Zuelch exhibits a near pathological love for every aspect of weaponry, from its construction to its usage in the field. Has been known to "confiscate" enemy weapons post-combat.

Sergeant Zuelch has seen much combat, and is, as a result, very patient and prudent when it comes to the battlefield, and thus provides a good foil and balance to Commander Adiri's brazen tactics. Coupled with the Jedi, it should prove a beneficial mix.


Warrant Officer Teck, Jaina

Native Military Branch: New Republic Navy, Research and Development Division

Species: Human

Homeworld: Dantooine

Gender: Female

Age: 25

Eye color: Brown

Hair color: Blue (genetically modified)

Current status: Active, Technological Specialist attached to Fireteam Krayt

Notable features: The aforementioned electric blue hair.

Notes: Young, petite, and shy around strangers, Officer Teck is quite deceptive; behind her timid visage hides one of the brightest minds ever to grace the Republic's armed forces, both old and new.

Jaina Teck was born on Dantooine to a large family of cattle farmers, fortunately avoiding much of the conflict known as the Clone Wars. Her parents were staunch Republican supporters, and having recognized their child's frightening intellect, sent her off to Coruscant to train in the most advanced military training facility in NR territory. While never being all that great with a blaster, her affinity with technology and near-limitless desire for learning were sufficiently compensating to be considered for and accepted into the NR Commando ranks.


Lieutenant Y'delle, Mira

Native Military Branch: New Republic Navy, Special Weapons and Operations Division

Species: Twi'lek

Homeworld: Nar Shaddaa

Gender: Female

Age: 30

Eye Color: Blue

Hair Color: N/A

Current Status: Active, attached to Fireteam Krayt as a Vehicle Specialist and Marksman.

Notable features: Light purple skin. Not inclined to speak much as a result of her upbringing.

Notes: Lieutenant Y'delle's story is a rather sad one. Born into slavery on the Hutt homeworld's moon, and being raised amongst bounty hunters and scum, it is likely she was destined to become a woman of pleasure, or another related profession, due to the stereotype attached to her species, and her admittedly otherworldly beauty. After the Mandalorian Demilitarization, and the following Cartel Skirmishes that ended up causing the abolishment of slavery in the Outer Rim, she was free to choose the course of her life. She chose the NR Navy.

With extensive experience in long range combat, and her knowledge of all things mechanical, she was almost immediately accepted into the NavSpecWO division, and from there, easily chosen to join Fireteam Krayt. I am told she enjoys the experience tremendously, though obviously not by her. Having grown up in an environment where the wrong word would get one killed, she understandably does not speak much.


Sergeant First Class Var, Zek

Native Military Branch: Grand Army of the New Republic, 41st Explosive Ordnance Platoon

Species: Zabrak

Homeworld: Hypori

Gender: Male

Age: 26

Eye Color: Orange

Hair Color: N/A

Current Status: Active, attached to Fireteam Krayt as an Explosives Specialist

Notable Features: Shorter than average height, longer than average cranial horns. Full body tattoos typical of Zabrak males.

Notes: Sergeant Zek is inappropriate at the best of times, and rude more often than not. Having grown up around Separatist junkers in the massive factory world of Hypori, his demeanor is expected, as is his expertise with explosive materials and ordnance.

Originally drafted after the Clone Wars (very much against his will), Sergeant Var has since come to love his profession, if, perhaps, a little too much. Almost as much as he loves the opposite gender, a trait that not even intensive psychological treatment has been able to override. I should know; I tried.


"Commander, permission to speak freely?" -asked Zek Var, male Zabrak and explosives expert of Fireteam Krayt.

Lara gave him a withering look, but humored him. "Not sure I want to give it to you, but go ahead."

The Zabrak gave a lecherous smile. "What do you think are the chances that the Rogue will kill me painfully if I steal a horn stroke?"

Lara, knowing full well that the gesture was fairly explicit in Zabrak culture, took a gauntlet covered hand to her face. "I suppose not too high. I don't think you'll feel a lot after she immediately beheads you." -she muttered.

Zek tapped his chin. "I hear ya. Still, I might risk it. Have you seen her outfit? She's basically halfway to naked already, and the other half's not too hard to imagine with those pants."

"I'll know to requisition a replacement ordinance specialist from Command, then." -the Commander said resignedly.

Jaina, the human tech officer, sighed, absently fiddling with her comm. "Much as I hate to say it, I don't think we should lose our explosives expert. At least, not before this particular mission."

The heavy weapons specialist, another human, though male, older and more grizzled, called Ari Zuelch chuckled. "Aye, I agree. Let the hornhead get a little hot and bothered. Just shoot him in the arse if he gets too close to the Rogue."

Their vehicle specialist and sniper, a female Twi'lek with lilac skin called Mira Y'delle hefted her sniper rifle, thumbing the safety off and raising an eyebrow at Lara, who shook her head slightly.

Zek pouted. "You guys are no fun. Besides, if anyone's shooting me, it's the Commander. The rest of you might knock my babymakers off."

Jaina gave Lara an exasperated look. "Would that not be a favor to the galaxy?"

"To the Zabrak gene pool, perhaps." -she said wryly.

The team, currently sat on some crates around the Daughter of Mortis waiting for the ship's Captain to arrive, went back to a companionable silence. Lara, rechecking her Commando pistols, turned to Mira. "Any insight on Tatooine you might share?"

The lavender skinned Twi'lek hummed. "It's hot and dry. Sand gets everywhere."

"Any insight relevant to the mission?" -asked Lara, sarcastically.

Mira gave her a smug smile. "Expect trouble. Lots of it."

The Zabrak returned from daydream state to hear that. "Oh, man. That sounds fun! I've been dying to test the Imploders on some baddies."

Jaina frowned. "What, dets not flashy enough for you?"

Zek narrowed his eyes, stroking one of the Thermal Imploders strapped to his chest on a bandolier. "There is no such thing as too flashy."

The bearded man chuckled. "I'm on the dirty Army boy's side on this one."

The Zabrak crossed his arms in satisfaction. "See? Wait, what?" -he said frowning.

Jaina facepalmed, and even Lara laughed a bit, only to straighten up when they saw two familiar Jedi walked toward them, one serene and the other slightly glum. "Krayt, cut the chatter. Here come Knight Tano and Padawan Skywalker."

The Jedi duo walked up to them. "Ready for departure, ma'am." -said Lara.

"Good. Master Kenobi and Operative Skywalker report they'll be at Korriban within the week. We must make haste for Tatooine." -said Ahsoka.

"Understood. Will Fireteam Spectre be joining us?"

Ahsoka smirked, and motioned for them to board the Daughter. "We'll be joining them Lara. The Ghost is already in orbit."

The team looked at each other but saluted. Ahsoka nodded toward the ship, and everyone boarded. The Daughter of Mortis' heavily modified ion engines screamed into life, and the Gozanti-class gunship sped off toward the stars, a custom black and red Delta 7b interceptor containing Maris Brood following closely behind.
