Pashna Starkiller

Pashna Starkiller was a Human male who served as a respected Imperial general who received the title Warlord of the Empire. Coming out of retirement, Starkiller was approached by the Rebel Alliance at a time when it sought experienced leaders to help formulate strategy for its new military. Starkiller defected to the Alliance's cause, and rose to become one of the Alliance's highest-ranked members. A seasoned military officer, Starkiller's skills helped shape Rebel Alliance military planning. As a younger generation of military men and women rose, Starkiller relinquished some of the responsibility, while continuing to advise the Rebellion on strategic matters. In 0 BBY, Starkiller was present in the ceremony held in honor of Luke Skywalker and other heroes of the Battle of Yavin.

In time, Starkiller retired again, only to be called upon by famed Rebel strategist Jan Dodonna during the fight against the resurrected Palpatine. Starkiller joined a number of other retired officers, including Vanden Willard and Adar Tallon, in an advisory body that called itself the "Gray Cadre." Providing strategic planning for what was now the New Republic, Starkiller and the others in the group were responsible for saving millions of lives in the war. When that crisis was averted, Starkiller returned to a state of semi-retirement, continuing to receive intelligence briefings and regularly meeting with Dodonna and the others to advise the New Republic on its continuing war against the Empire.
