Dane Daedalus

"Jedi? Betray the Republic? They've defended it for over a thousand years, and have they ever faltered? No, and I refuse to believe they would betray this great government. Now leave."

-Dane Daedalus, in an interview with a HoloNet reporter shortly after Operation: Knightfall

Beginnings
"This Republic needs good soldiers. I'm giving them one."

-Dane at a Tarisian enlistment complex

Dane Daedalus had been born to a family that had diligently served the Republic for decades. His father, Mettion, had died in the Stark Hyperspace War, when Dane was a newborn to the House of Daedalus, so much of Dane's life was spent in the shadow of his father. Hoping to live up to the expectations of his family, when he was old enough, Dane applied for the Carth Onasi Military Academy. He spent eight years there, training relentlessly, and had only just graduated when the Clone Wars broke out, giving Dane the opportunity to serve the Republic.

In Service of the Republic
"You are strong in the Force, Lieutenant Daedalus."

"And what's that supposed to mean? I should be a commander like you?"

"It means you should be cautious."

-Dane's first conversation with Jedi Commander Cera Nightmare

Dane's first assignment was Jedi Temple security.
