Ex-Imperial physician/medical researcher, defected to the Rebels pre-Hoth. Essentially a do-gooder, albeit with some skeletons in the cupboard. Available for healing, critical injury removal, light firefights, and probable stressed-out banter.
The character would work as either a currently commissioned officer in a Republic group, or a Republic reservist/sympathizer in a group of more-or-less Republic-aligned civilians. Ex-imperials probably need not apply, unless they’re fellow anti-Empire defectors.
Basically, if you’re a mostly unrepentant former Imperial or someone likely to resist helping the Republic should it come up, it might not work out between us. It’s not you, it’s me...
Groups that are willing to dedicate some ship/homestead space to medical facilities bigger than a backpack kit are especially welcome!
