Edi Myrtaan

Edi Myrtaan was an individual who gained a significant fan following playing as keeper for the Coruscant Emeralds grav-ball team. He was recruited by the Galactic Empire and appeared in numerous Imperial recruitment materials before realizing he was being used by the Empire. Disappearing from the public eye, he defected to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. His defection only became apparent when he surfaced as part of a rebel cell on the planet Sullust, after which the Alliance quickly adapted its propaganda to make use of him. A personnel file for Myrtaan existed within the Rebel Alliance Archives and was cited by the historian Beaumont Kin when he mentioned Myrtaan in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire in 35 ABY.
