COMBAT INFORMATION

Caulder Dune is accompanied at all times by a small group of security, whether furnished by the Galactic Alliance or the Silver Shield Group. They will handle any direct threats to his person while he attempts to flee.

Darth Adekos, a Sith Lord, is also usually accompanied by security, but participates more actively in his defense. He makes use of a standard lightsaber with a gilded, lavishly embellished hilt. His style is reminiscent of traditional tapani dueling, fusing the defensive footing of Soresu with Makashi's refinement, elegance, and economy of motion.

He relies predominantly on avoidance and maneuverability. A leftover of his traditional training as an umbaran shadow assassin. His saber strokes are light and noncommittal, seeking to debilitate foes rather than kill outright.

FORCE ABILITIES

Caulder Dune is not sensitive to the Force. He registers a presence within it no greater than any other layman.

Darth Adekos is the foremost living expert on Mechu-Deru and the broader practice of Technopathy. He does not possess equals in this field. He is capable of using Sith Alchemy, though he prefers to term it "Sith Science" and focuses exclusively on metallurgical and technological applications.

Though derived from his earlier background, Darth Adekos maintained a high degree of skill in the abilities of Force Cloak and Force Speed. He is skilled in several expressions of energy manipulation. Namely: Force Lightning, Ionize, and Tutaminis.

He was similarly competent in aspects of mentalism and telekinesis, though not to an especially remarkable degree.

HISTORY - DUNE

Caulder Dune was born on Umbara in a remote settlement to a middle-class family. He attended university at Rudrig, obtaining degrees in public and business administration. He served in executive positions at several Tionese firms. When the Bryn'adul threatened the Tion Cluster, he relocated to Eriadu and obtained a controlling share in the then-nascent Silver Shield Group.

Caulder Dune was appointed deputy director of the InterGalactic Banking Clan later. After tiring of the antics of the Banking Clan's Director, Dorian Harper, Caulder resigned from his post.

The collapse of the Confederacy of Independent Systems greatly improved the economic standing of the Silver Shield Group. Caulder Dune would become a founding member of a reincarnated Commerce Guild as a result, partnering with the likes Luca Caldogne and Marcus Tritum.

Caulder Dune was recently selected by the Commerce Guild to act as its representative to the Senate of the Galactic Alliance. It appears this has taken over the bulk of his duties.

He has remained unmarried, though is known to have three children. Two currently serve in the AgriCorps far from the frontlines of any known conflict. The third studies with the Golden Order.

He is usually reticent to discuss his immediate or extended family.
