Jaden Cardie is a Force-sensitive Dark Jedi operative affiliated with the Dark Jedi Brotherhood during the post-Galactic Concordance era. Known for his technical expertise and covert combat style, Cardie combines his natural aptitude for technology with dark side Force powers to navigate the dangerous underworld of the galaxy’s Outer Rim.
Biography
Jaden's Homeworld
Early Life
Jaden Cardie was born on Corellia, a prominent Core World famed for its starship manufacturing and heavy industry. His early childhood was disrupted when New Republic agents discovered his father’s history as an Imperial officer. To avoid arrest and persecution in the post-Galactic Civil War era, Jaden’s family fled Corellia when he was just two or three years old. They resettled on Gyndine, a hazardous and largely lawless industrial planet on the Outer Rim. Gyndine’s toxic atmosphere, sprawling factories, and weak enforcement made it a dangerous place to grow up but also fostered Jaden’s early independence and survival skills.
Growing Up on Gyndine
With no formal schooling available, Jaden taught himself through experience. He became a contract welder, but his true passion was tinkering with technology and hacking electronic systems for fun and survival. During this time, he became aware of his latent Force sensitivity, noticing he could repair microscopic cracks in machinery or sense impending events moments before they happened. These early abilities, while mysterious and uncontrollable, gave him an edge in the harsh environment of Gyndine.
Turning Point and Imprisonment
Jaden’s curiosity and audacity led him to hack into a local authority’s database, where he uncovered sensitive information about a powerful local warlord. Attempting to blackmail this figure, he was caught and imprisoned. While incarcerated, Jaden’s frustration and anger triggered his first uncontrollable use of the dark side of the Force when he accidentally snapped the neck of a taunting guard. Shocked by his own violent power, he seized the guard’s access pass to escape. However, he was pursued and cornered by several guards near his home. In a desperate act of self-defense, Jaden unleashed a psychic scream that incapacitated his attackers, drawing the attention of Nobillus, a Dark Jedi operative nearby.
Joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood
Nobillus recognized Jaden’s untapped potential and intervened, bringing him to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood for training and guidance. Under the Brotherhood’s tutelage, Jaden honed his Force abilities, focusing on stealth, combat, and technological manipulation. His unique combination of hacking skills and Force sensitivity allows him to excel in unconventional warfare, often preferring to disable enemies with traps and technological sabotage rather than direct confrontation. Although adept in close-quarters combat and trained to face Force-sensitive opponents, Jaden relies heavily on his gadgets and clever tactics to survive and dominate.
Personality and Skills
Jaden Cardie is known for his sharp intellect, resourcefulness, and an often rebellious streak. Though capable of fulfilling responsibilities, he prefers to avoid routine and authority, frequently finding ways to sidestep orders and prioritize personal interests. His passion for technology is unmatched, and he possesses near-arrogant confidence in his ability to fix and manipulate devices—from holopads to starship systems.
His combat style reflects his reliance on technology and the Force rather than brute strength. Jaden excels at setting traps, using explosives, and turning enemy tech against foes. While adept at close-quarters combat—having trained to face Force-sensitive adversaries—he prefers to avoid direct confrontations where possible, relying instead on stealth, hacking, and improvisation.
However, his reliance on technology can be a weakness if he finds himself stripped of gadgets or isolated from systems to hack. Jaden’s temper can flare when things don’t go as planned, especially when his confidence in his technical skills is challenged.
Notable Abilities
- Force Sensitivity: Trained by the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Jaden wields dark side powers such as psychic screams and telekinetic force techniques, enhancing both offense and defense.
- Technological Expertise: A gifted slicer and mechanic, able to repair, hack, and repurpose complex technology under extreme conditions.
- Adaptive Combat Training: Conditioned to face Force-sensitive enemies in melee combat despite lacking a primary martial arts background, and proficient in Form III (Soresu) lightsaber techniques.

Languages and Knowledge
Jaden is fluent in Basic, Binary, and Bocce, enabling him to navigate diverse social and technical environments. His historical knowledge spans Imperial history, the Galactic Civil War, and post-Galactic Concordance conflicts, providing context for his motivations and alliances.
Equipment and Loadouts
While Jaden has yet to formalize public loadouts, he is known to favor gadgets, explosives, smoke grenades, and hacking tools over traditional weaponry, preferring indirect combat and disabling enemies through technological and Force-enabled means.
Legacy
Though still relatively young, Jaden Cardie’s combination of hacking prowess, dark side power, and streetwise cunning mark him as a rising operative within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. His past struggles with authority and identity fuel his determination to carve out his own path—one where technology and the dark side combine to give him an edge in the galaxy’s shadow wars.
