Kethan Falor: Etti - Unit Commander

Exceptionally tall (2.2m) Falor wears his hair close cropped, the antithesis of his people, partly in protest at the way his homeworld has been given over to estates for wealthy Imperials.

One of the original members of the Nova Dragons, he was invited to take command of the unit by the other founding members, in the main due to his extensive business experience. Indeed, he still tends to run the unit more on a business than a military model, but has support from Chaide when the going gets hot. He is developing an awareness of small unit tactics, both in planetside and spaceborne operations. Kethan had long been aware of a certain "foreknowledge" especially in dangerous situations, but his time with the Nova Dragons had seen that sixth sense develop into a small knowledge of The Force.

Syl Norn: Sullustan - Unit Executive Officer

Syl has known Kethan longer than anyone, and the two share a common love of the Wild Fire. Syl had for many months been happy simply to pilot the ship and look after the technical aspects of the unit (but DON'T accuse him of burglarising any establishments, or mention fences!). More recently, with the influx of new people, the change in emphasis of the unit and simply the need to make sure that someone other than Kethan understands the books, Syl has reluctantly agreed to act as XO. Whilst he has been unsure of that role, he has made great strides in recent times.

Chaide Walker: Human - Planetside Commander

Chaide follows a strict moral code, which has occasionally brought him into conflict with Kethan, though usually because Kethan has been unable to explain the full story to Chaide in time. One such incident almost caused Chaide to walk out on the group when it was still in its infancy, and it took some serious fast-talking from Kethan to persuade him to stay. Whilst nominally in command of Nova Dragon planetside operations, Chaide has never shied away from the front line. He backs his skills in any confrontation, and rarely comes up short. The one problem Chaide has is that he seems to be a friendly fire magnet having been shot or blown up by at least 4 different members of the unit, on around 6 different occasions!

Kal Traveen: Human - MedTech

A long time associate of Chaide's, the two met on Ord Mantell in a time of crisis for both and forged a partnership that is one of the rocks of the Nova Dragons. Kal has patched up every member of the team at some point, so whilst his forte is human physiology, he is fast gaining knowledge of a wide variety of the Galaxy's major sentient species. Quietly spoken, it is always worth listening to Kal on those few occasions he opens his mouth. He's a crack shot and a more than adequate pilot.

JD Brickman: Human - Demolitions

JD was the first outside the founding four to join the Nova Dragons. A former member of the Imperial Navy, he left the service having chosen not to sign on for a second term. At that time he was starting to question Imperial doctrine, and felt the need to explore his thoughts in a much less restrictive environment. Having free-lanced for a while, JD hooked up with Kethan and the others for blockade run to a Rebel outpost, and has been a valued member of the team ever since. Always eager to please, JD sometimes acts without thinking through the full consequences of his actions. This led on one occasion to his arrest by Imperial Forces, and subsequent torture, costing him two fingers on each hand. It says a great deal about the bond between the members of the Nova Dragons that they put aside their then current goals to stage a rescue of JD. A visit to Bespin has provided JD with cybernetic replacements for the missing digits.

Zulah: Ubese - Communications

One of a group of slaves that joined the Nova Dragons following their liberation from a slaver's camp in the Dain system. With her need for a Type II atmosphere to breath, Zulah is never seen outside her armour. Definitely not someone to mess with, Zulah favours her Light Repeating Blaster Rifle, or twin force blades in close combat. Working on refitting an advanced communications suite into her armour.

Grat: Gamorrean - Droid Disposal

Joined the Nova Dragons at the same time as Zulah, Raggy, Morrez and Kribaczek following the successful assault on the slave camp. His trademark weapon is the vibro-axe, which he is inordinately fond of placing through droids with great force. This occasionally backfires when he slices deep enough to find the droid's power core. Through patience, persuasion and no small amount of luck, the Nova Dragons have been able to convince Grat that there are actually "useful" droids (such as the astromech droid that serves aboard the Wild Fire).
