Lesa Galvan

Lesa Galvan hails from the world of Balmorra, who had no desire to become just another factory worker-so once she was of age, she enlisted into the Imperial Academy. There, she demonstrated a knack for command, and rose in the ranks quickly. In little time, she became a Commander, and was likely only a couple of years away from promotion to Captain. All was well, until about 01 ABY.

That year changed everything for her. While she thought she was on the right side, the destruction of Alderaan and a chance meeting with Darth Vader (who was being transported on her ship to another destination-likely looking for a certain Rebel pilot) convinced her that the Empire was, in fact, evil. She and a small group of like-minded Imperials jumped ship as soon as possible-and stole an old Clone Wars prototype vessel, the Phalanx-class Retaliation. Unwilling to put her and her crew under the command of the Rebel Alliance, she nonetheless acted against Imperial interests along the Outer Rim for the duration of the Galactic Civil War.

This campaign used a hack of the Apocalypse World game system, designed for a Star Wars setting.
