Biography

Imperial service

Born on Corellia, Crix Madine attended the Imperial Academy and entered service in the Imperial Army. He rose quickly through the ranks after establishing himself as an innovative tactician and effective leader, who refused to bow to political connections, training his troops thoroughly regardless of whatever COMPNOR influence they might have. When the Imperial Military identified a need for a surgical strike force to counter the Alliance's guerilla tactics, Madine was selected to form the unit. The result was the Storm Commandos, which Madine hand picked from the Stormtrooper ranks and trained himself. He led the unit on a number of missions, but found the missions he and his men were called on to perform were increasingly questionable.

Defection complications

It was the order to release the Candorian Plague on Dentaal that convinced Madine it was time to leave. Wracked with guilt over his role in the death of the entire Dentaalian population, Madine contacted his old friend Carlist Rieekan (who had previously defected to the Rebel Alliance). He then disappeared from his unit while on a training mission in 1:8 ABY. Madine erased himself from all Imperial records he had access to, although his disappearance was covered by some HoloNet news channels. To prove his loyalty, Madine provided essential guidance for the sabotaging of Operation Strike Fear, but after the Battle of Yavin he was captured by General Rom Mohc and imprisoned in Orinackra for execution. Upon learning of his capture, Mon Mothma dispatched Kyle Katarn to rescue Madine, who revealed Mohc's role in the project. He also provided the Alliance with intelligence on two subsequent targets to sabotage the Dark Trooper project. After slipping back to his homeworld of Corellia, Madine's defection was intercepted once more by Imperial forces, but the timely arrival of Rogue Squadron allowed him to escape.

Rebel leader

While some Alliance commanders suspected Madine of disloyalty due to Imperial past, he was allowed into Alliance High Command with the backing of General Carlist Rieekan. His intimate knowledge of Imperial tactics earned him the position of Chief Military Advisor on the Advisory Council and Commander of Alliance Special Forces. In the latter capacity, Madine trained Alliance ground commanders on tactics to use the Alliance's smaller numbers effectively against the Empire.
