Former Imperial Biker Scout and colonel in the Emperors 21^st Blue Star Riders.  Born on the world of Sapphire, Ryath Rai Centaur soon enlisted in the Imperial army along with his younger brother Torath and was soon rising through the ranks, making sergeant while posted to Entall.  He married his fiancée Sarra and successful engagements followed with criminals and a nascent rebel opposition falling before him before his posting to Durathosin. It was here that a rebel cell executed Torath and Colonel Pillot betrayed him.  Disillusioned with the service and cheated on by Sarra, he elected to go AWOL and hunt down his brother’s killers, primarily Pillot Alvarna.  For years he tracked down the men on that list, sometime using the alias of Yorath Devalis.  Becoming friends with Jan Lomona, Goah Galletti, Newell Arrithat, and a known acquaintance of Tarr Ranth Centaur helped out the Rebel Alliance, though strictly for his own ends, and worked for Glann Cipple as a mercenary on a handful of occasions.  He entered into a seven-year relationship with a Zelonian woman by the name of Clara and with her at his side founded the Iron Claw mercenary unit, which he based on Hellion.  After a surprise defeat at the hands of a well-organised rogue Imperial faction and the loss of the original Thunderchild, Centaur wearily handed over control of the Iron Claws to his great friend Saul Davlon.  Appalled with the chaos and ruin that followed the fall of the Galactic Empire, Colonel Ryath Centaur worked for the remnants of Imperial Security before finally leaving the Empire behind and returning to lead the Iron Claws following the death of Saul Davlon. After finally laying the demons of his past to rest with the execution of his long-time enemy Pillot, Centaur still plied a good trade as a mercenary in his starship the Thunderchild II.  Centaur was seen less and less in the Mid-Rim as he expanded his interests elsewhere, but was drawn back to the sector when he fell unexpectedly in love with Jan Lomonas daughter Paige.  During the Ki-Ki/Setnin War Centaur became a figure of huge influence; given the rank of Colonel he assisted in the formation of the unified Setnin Defence Force and used the Iron Claws in conjunction with the Trac-Tran Transit Company of Jan Lomona and Squadron Indigo to strike at the Ki-Ki, and with his vast fleet, temporarily bolstered by the addition of Daemon Garr’s Raven Corporation vessels before their defection to the Ki-Ki, he caused consternation to the enemy.

Mandalorian-armoured Bounty Hunter and son of Lord Tarr Ranth.  Sometimes using the alias of Tarrion Randelle, Ranth owned the starship Prodigal Son before losing her in a fire fight with the Bounty Hunter Queed over Gista and taking the Dark Star, which belonged to his father out of mothballs and refitting it enormously Instantly recognisable in his jet-black armour, Ranth pursued many quarries, including the smuggler Canen Luone - and rarely failed to bring them back.  Hunted himself for years by the Imperial Captain Nerain, Ranth preferred to keep his prey alive in case they ever escape so he could capture them again, Ranth aided Jan Lomona, Ryath Centaur and Goah Galletti on a number of occasions, and the starship thief Nias Derril on numerous occasions.  Born on Corellia, Ranth inherited his armour from his father Lord Ranth, who inherited it from Tarr’s Grandfather.  An adversary of the famed bounty hunter Boba Fett, Ranth could more than hold his own with the best.  Later in his life he studied in the force at the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV under his cousin, the Jedi Knight Blake De'Athe.  Now a dedicated Jedi Knight, Ranth accepted a mission of danger to the world of Leogard to discern the number of Ki-Ki Sector vessels in wait.  Ambushed, he met his death in the destruction of the Dark Star III, but returned to aide his cousin Blake De’Athe as a Jedi spirit.

The most prominent gangleader in Setnin Sector history.   Once the leader of the travelling race the Muyaden, Cipple came into the Setnin Sector from the world of Klaem in the Corb Sector fifty-five years before the Battle of Yavin after betraying his people to the ancient alien Longbody.  Making a name for himself working as a smuggler for the Setnin Sectors then major crime boss Duze Jostenn, Cipple soon hooked up with fellow operators Dressel, Riger and Dessio D’Staan. With Cipple occasionally using the pseudonym of Mister Gold the quartet made significant inroads into building a new crime syndicate, with runs into the Core.  Later joined by Anzai Karoo, the group challenged Jostenn’s lofty position.  For twelve years they built their powerbase until Cipple had a secret affair with D’Staan’s wife Jeriah. A day after the birth of their child Armella, D’Staan left the sector with his family and headed for the Core, taking details of the lucrative Core Runs with him.  Having plunged all their money into the Core runs Cipple, Dressel and Riger conspired to sell out Luschia Arkensaws Jedi family to the Empire for a million credits.  Riger disappeared under mysterious circumstances and after paying off Karoo, Cipple and Dressel continued their partnership for a brief time but after a massive altercation they went their separate ways – Cipple to Amagad and Dressel to Cawbate.  Cipple decided to begin hiring trusted agents, taking Duze Jostenns Mon Calamarian assassin Carlonian Feese.  Feese had made his presence known by assassinating his own employer Jostenn after Cipple and Jostenn had entered into a business partnership.  Cipple decided that to legitimise his public image he would run for the governorship of Amagad City, which he won with the assistance of chief justice Garris Tarainnew and local Imperial General Kriner.  Before long Cipple made himself master of the Setnin underworld, much to the consternation of Dressel and Grand Moff Treece.  Remaining governor for twenty-four years, Cipple saw off Gang Wars and various challenges on his position.  Glann hired such operators as Jan Lomona and Goah Galletti and fell in love with one of his smugglers, Bella with whom he had two daughters, Bessa and Brea.  Cipple rarely left the luxurious confines of his Mount Fava Fortress, preferring to work on genetic experiments like the Coryarthanax, the clone of Goah Galletti and the Hunter Killer Lawkeeper project in locations as diverse as his Fortress and the Euphoria Station - fieldwork was left to his many agents.  After the fall of the Empire at Endor Cipple faced other challenges – two Gang Wars followed, despite Cipple having many of his opponents eliminated.  His first fall came after the discovery of the legendary Starship Heed.  Upon selling it to Admiral Korne Lans the ship was sabotaged by mercenary Luschia Arkensaw.  Certain of betrayal Lans levelled Amagad City, but only after the Heed had crashed into the Bay of Amagad and flattened the city with a tidal wave.  Leaving Amagad with Carlonian Feese, Cipple lost his wife, newborn daughter, his business and the respect that he had so carefully built over the past forty years.  His whereabouts were unknown until he resurfaced seven years later, working alongside Zobian Pirates and the Bedois dark force user Arcc Nedeen in a plan to invade and take the Setnin Sector by brute force.  Cipple was ultimately located by the bounty hunter Queed and brought to the world of Trefnare where he had a final meeting with Dressel, Anzai Karoo and Queed/Riger.  Dressel, Karoo and Queed died, leaving Cipple as the only surviving member of the Happy Contrivers – until his nemesis Longbody appeared from the shadows just as he had promised decades before and took Glann away to meet his destiny.  Despite his treacherous betrayal of his former employees and colleagues, and despite working on the fringes of civilised society, Glann Cipple had a massive hand in shaping the destiny of the entire Setnin Sector.
