Kaine Rischer

"“”""― Kaine Rischer"Kaine Rischer (23BBY – 35ABY) was a Force-sensitive human male smuggler who strongly believed survival in numbers was very important, and formed The Defiance.

Kaine was born to a relatively wealthy family on Carida, however saw very little of his his father, a republic soldier, as he died when Kaine was only 4 years of age, due to the rise of the Galactic Empire. Kaine lived with his mother on Carida living a fairly peaceful life-style up until the age of 11 when his mother was betrayed and killed by Niemad Curae, and man who they considered a friend. Niemad, selfish and thirsty for nothing but imperial credits, kidnapped and sold Kaine to a group of slavers, to work as a slave on the junk planet, Lotho Minor.

Kaine managed to keep himself on the down-low while working as a slave, always working to the best of his abilities and not ever questioning orders. He would generally keep to himself, never bringing his life on Carida into conversation as he was experiencing trust issues due to his mothers betrayal.

Work was fairly simple in the 'junk fields', however could get tiring, constantly lifting metals and carrying heavy loads days after day. The goal each day, find more valuables than the previous day. Kaine was smart however, instead of searching for valuables everyday and returning only to disappoint the slavers, he would always bring a consistent amount of resource, mainly being metal. This method would keep the slavers happy, and grant Kaine with more to eat each night.

During one of Kaine's searches, he came across a glowing cube, a Jedi Holocron. Intrigued by this cube and not knowing what it was, Kaine decided to keep and study it more later that night, but to no success. Each night Kaine would be put into a trance like state when studying the cube. With his mind opening up to the possibilities of where it may have come from, he became more desperate to leave the planet than ever, and little did he know that thought would soon be a reality.
