When building a persona from scratch, a few basic questions must be answered before getting too far ahead of oneself:
WHO would this be?: Some sort of generic partisan Rebel from a local Sector Force.
WHEN were they be?: Galactic Civil War period—which, properly speaking, limits us to the 2BBY-5ABY period.
WHERE did they live or come from?: ?????
This last one had me stumped—I may have had a whole galaxy to pick from, but I naturally wanted a degree of verisimilitude in my choice. I’m from (and most likely to operate in) a temperate, deciduous biome, so I knew I wouldn’t be picking a desert or ice planet, but unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of planets in the GFFA that resemble eastern North America! The only deciduous-biome planet from the six films is Naboo, and we just don’t have enough details on it after about 19BBY for my confidence. Out of curiosity, I searched the Wook for ‘temperate’ just to see what would come up. One result in particular jumped out at me: Sulon! I was already pretty familiar with this moon of Sullust, as a result of spending my middle and high school years marinating in the various materials connected to the Dark Forces games.
As a result of being featured in several print and digital sources, the setting was comparatively fleshed-out, I had some examples of material culture to examine, and best of all, the various individuals featured were almost all ‘commoners’—homesteading goat gra farmers-turned-Rebels for the most part.
