Characters

Protagonists

  • Sek'nos Rath: A young Sith male (Sith refers to the species, not the Sith Order) whose parents are Je'daii (what the Jedi are called in this time period) diplomats who travel the system.

He yearns for adventure and likes to push the envelope. He's bold, rowdy, and loves fun, weapons, and females of all types.[2]
  • Tasha Ryo: A female Twi'lek whose parents are Baron Volnos Ryo and Kora Ryo. She's often torn between her father and their clan and her mother and her Je'daii duties.
