Cody Sunn-Childe

Cody Sunn-Childe was a male Jashwik freedom fighter of the Alliance to Restore the Republic who disappeared for many years after dedicating himself to a pacifist way of life. Sunn-Childe was one of Senator Mon Mothma's earliest supporters. Over a decade after the Galactic Empire was declared, Sunn-Childe called to arms and led a group of insurgents against the Empire, becoming a public face of the opposition for a time around 3 BBY. All this success against the Empire inspired many to follow in his footsteps, and gave hope to many more.

According to an account Sunn-Childe gave to Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca, he was injured and fell into a large crevasse during a battle with Imperial forces on a newly-conquered planet. There, he was engulfed in an everlasting flame created by the native M'usts, though he survived, gaining the ability to make his dreams come to life.

Eventually, Sunn-Childe left the M'usts and used his newfound abilities to build an ornate City of Dreams. He invited his former comrades to live a life of peace and harmony in an alternate dimension, where they waged a more personal war against the Empire. Soon after the Battle of Hoth, outsiders visited the City of Dreams for the first time, when Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca inadvertently created a rent in Sunn-Childe's dimension because of a hyperdrive malfunction; however, the Millennium Falcon had been followed by a fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers. Sunn-Childe was eventually forced to break his vows and conjure dream-beasts to fend off the Imperials, though he immediately changed his mind. Determined to maintain his philosophy of peace, Cody Sunn-Childe allowed the Star Destroyers to destroy his City of Dreams and kill its inhabitants.
