[MANDALORIAN CULTURAL ARCHIVE – FIELD DOSSIER 7-19A // CLASSIFIED ACCESS ONLY]
SUBJECT DESIGNATION: Rynar Solde
CALLSIGN: "Whisper"
CLAN AFFILIATION: None (Alor-less)
SPECIES: Human (Mandalorian descent)
HOMEWORLD: Unknown – presumed Outer Rim origin
OCCUPATION: Freelance Archivist / Precision Marksman
CURRENT STATUS: Active – Last confirmed with korda veydran
VISUAL AND EQUIPMENT PROFILE:
Armor Designation: Solde-pattern Scout Beskar'gam (Mk. IV)
Rynar Solde is a quiet and introspective figure. He speaks little and listens often, carrying himself with the weight of one who questions his place in both the galaxy and the creed. He is a self-taught historian and informal archivist, gathering fragments of Mandalorian culture, forgotten battles, and oral histories from the scattered diaspora.
Those who have fought beside him note a certain gentleness beneath the armor — a hesitation in his voice, a rare warmth in how he speaks to his companion creature. Though he doubts himself, he never falters when others depend on him.
INCIDENT REPORT – THE CHOLGANNA SURVIVAL EVENT
Timestamp: 11:43:09 – 4:1:22
Location: Cholganna, Outer Rim Territories
During an archival expedition gone wrong, Solde's transport was destroyed in-atmosphere during a solar flare surge. He survived the crash but found himself stranded for several standard months in the dense forests of Cholganna — the native world of the nexu.
According to Solde's personal log (entry 47-B):
"She came out of the fog with eyes like twin suns. I did what instinct demanded — fired. I lived because she didn't."
After slaying the attacking adult nexu, Solde discovered her den — and a single surviving cub. Malnourished and defenseless. Against his training and logic, he couldn't bring himself to kill it. He used the mother's pelt for warmth and fashioned a protective sling to carry the cub until it was strong enough to walk.
Over the months, the two formed an unlikely bond. Solde named the creature Cupcake — a quiet act of irony that still makes him smile beneath the helmet when no one's watching.
When Solde was eventually recovered by a Mandalorian patrol, Cupcake refused to leave his side. Now fully grown, the nexu remains fiercely loyal, trained to obey subtle gestures and vocal clicks.
COMPANION RECORD – "CUPCAKE"
RELATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS:
"Solde reminds us that even those who doubt themselves can preserve the best parts of what we are. He's proof that the Mandalorian heart beats not only in battle, but in memory."

VISUAL AND EQUIPMENT PROFILE:
Armor Designation: Solde-pattern Scout Beskar'gam (Mk. IV)
- Plating: Lightweight beskar composite with layered phrik reinforcement along chest and shoulders; designed for minimal profile and reduced sound signature.
- Undersuit: Flexweave armored bodysuit with heat-dispersing fibers; capable of maintaining thermal balance during extended overwatch operations.
- Helmet: Narrow-visor variant modeled after Crusader-era recon helms; incorporates tri-spectrum optics (infrared, electrostatic, and macro zoom). Rangefinder is retractable and silent-operating — personally modified by Solde to prevent the telltale servo whine found in most stock models.
- Cloak: Patchworked field cloak stitched with grey and russet fur — the preserved hide of a female nexu encountered during Solde's survival ordeal on Cholganna. The fur's coloration serves as natural camouflage in wooded and temperate environments.
- Markings: No clan sigils. The only symbol etched into his cuirass is a stylized open book with a single blaster bolt bisecting the page — his personal sigil, meaning "Knowledge Preserved Through Strife."
- Loadout:
- Primary Weapon: Modified Valken-38x Longblaster, recoil-tuned and paired with a magnetic stabilizer harness.
- Sidearm: WESTAR-35 compact variant with low-flash discharge module.
- Melee: Short vibro-knife housed in a vambrace sheath, used primarily for survival rather than combat.
- Auxiliary Gear: Compact data-slate core for artifact logging, carbon-rope grapnel, multi-spectrum scanner, ration injector, and field repair kit.
