===King Lux Bonteri (Onderon)===
Lux Bonteri never anticipated being elevated to the throne of his home planet, but after years spent representing Onderon in the Separatist, Republic, and then Imperial Senates, and even fighting to free it from Separatist occupation alongside Saw Gerrerra, when the old king died and his people called on him to serve, he did not refuse the honor.

His relationship with the Empire was complicated: though it was the legitimate successor state of the Republic he'd sworn loyalty to, his ties to the Jedi and his own experience as a rebel gave him sympathy for dissenters. Using his influence as a hero of the anti-Separatist rebellion, he did his best to restrain the Empire's tyranny while serving them as a pro-Imperial rallying point to contrast against Saw Gerrerra's violent extremism.

With the Emperor and Vader dead at Endor, the Empire fracturing, and Bel Iblis's open declaration of defiance, King Lux finally felt confident enough to openly voice his own and his people's dissent for the first time in decades.
