Post-Mortem Analysis of SAMC Data Cores — Recovery Site: Wreckage of Gran Granada Super Station, Sector [REDACTED]
Following the catastrophic destruction of SAMC infrastructure, New Republic recovery teams salvaged heavily fragmented data cores from the wreckage of the Gran Granada super-station. SAMC provided vital ground and air support to the Rebellion during the Star War. Recovered logs indicate leadership and military assets have been effectively neutralized.
Current working theories suggest the perpetrators are remnants of hostile factions (NOD, the Final Republic, or the Separatist Alliance) or an internal splinter group.
Most clones who defected post-Clone Wars were exterminated by the Imperial Empire. Four known survivors: Commanders Rex, Stone (OOC), Cody, and Atlas (OOC).
SAMC Team 4 (Atlas, Luke, Jake, Leia, T44, T43) deployed to infiltrate a NOD base for rebel coordinates. Mission failed due to intelligence error. T43 and T44 KIA. Atlas, Luke, and Leia vanished. Jake was the sole survivor, severely wounded.
The systematic destruction of Gran Granada and the high volume of key SAMC personnel listed OOC indicates a highly coordinated, well-funded adversary. The Separatist Alliance (forces loyal to Paragor) remains the most probable culprit.
New Republic Intelligence Command — Classification: RESTRICTED / EYES ONLY
Kyber One is a highly advanced, heavily compartmentalized, and fiercely independent intelligence and security syndicate operating strictly in the galactic gray zone. Unlike the mercenary-driven syndicate it evolved from (SAMC), Kyber One possesses a surprisingly benevolent operational doctrine.
They bypass both Imperial remnants and New Republic bureaucracy to independently target trafficking rings, hostile syndicates, and corrupt planetary governments.
Likely born from the ashes of SAMC following the catastrophic destruction of Gran Granada. Surviving black-site operatives, advanced AI architectures, and proprietary tech were secured and quietly reformed. Shedding SAMC's profit-driven mercenary roots, Kyber One was restructured into an ideological sanctuary for the galaxy's broken but capable survivors.
Built from SAMC's elite SET teams. Executes black ops, high-value extractions, and targeted asset denial with surgical precision. Heavily utilizes former underworld enforcers.
The technological core. Maintains the impenetrable Digital Vault — a decentralized network protecting whistleblower identities and securing all Kyber One covert communications.
A galaxy-spanning music and media label. Kyber One's most radical departure from SAMC. Broadcasts are layered with encrypted data. Concert tours serve as logistical cover for inserting operatives into secure sectors.
Kyber One represents a unique threat to traditional power structures but a net positive for galactic stability. They possess the tactical capabilities of a state intelligence agency, the wealth of a mega-corporation, and the ideological drive of a localized rebellion. Due to their strict adherence to protecting civilians and their impenetrable operational security, direct engagement by New Republic forces is strongly discouraged.
Operative character profiles — Kyber One Personnel Database

Dani grew up on a working-class world where her greatest escape was her voice. Singing provided rare comfort to her community. Driven by a genuine desire to protect people, she enlisted in the Empire the moment she came of age.
The reality of Imperial "peacekeeping" shattered her idealism. She witnessed firsthand the oppressive tactics used to subjugate populations. To cope, she kept singing — but her hopeful melodies morphed into somber, haunting a cappella ballads. When her contract ended, she walked away, leaving her uniform and her faith in the system behind.
Without the structure of the military, Dani was recruited into the ranks of Crimson Dawn. Forced into moral compromises that further darkened her worldview. Her signature asymmetrical black tunic with deep crimson lining is a subtle nod to the blood on her ledger from this era.
Scouted and recruited by Kyber One. For the first time since she was a teenager, she felt she was actually making a positive difference. Kyber One's neutrality allowed her to dismantle threats that hurt everyday people — bypassing the political red tape and corruption she'd experienced on all sides.
Primary identity. Concerts feature deep reds, pitch blacks, intense strobe effects, and theatrical fog — creating tactical blind spots. She slips offstage, neutralizes targets or slices secure terminals in VIP areas, and returns before the song ends.
Infiltrates Core World political galas by performing stripped-down classical ballads. Gathers raw intel from elites as "hired entertainment."
Leans into harsh, purely industrial sound to make contact with informants in the lower levels. Blends with rough crowds from her Crimson Dawn days.
"Most people think my music is about the people I've lost. It's actually an apology to the people I couldn't save."
