Lune Oddo Divinian

Biography

Early life

Born on Nuralee in 27 BBY, Lune Oddo Divinian, a Human strong with the Force, was the son of Bog Divinian and Astri Oddo. The reason for Divinian's Force sensitivity remaining undetected at birth is unknown, preventing him from joining the Jedi Order for study. As Divinian grew up, his father was voted in as Senator for their home planet, leading the family to spend time on Coruscant, where Divinian was cared for by his grandfather, Didi Oddo. Around this period, Divinian's mother noticed his natural talent for using the Force, keeping it a secret from her husband, who despised both the Jedi Order and Force users. Despite her best efforts, Senator Divinian witnessed his son's abilities and began formulating plans to exploit them.

As Divinian's father became increasingly hostile, his mother gathered some belongings, and they fled to Samaria to live in relative peace. In the years that followed, the Clone Wars broke out between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but they managed to avoid the war's horrors. When the Republic and Confederacy were defeated in the war, and the Galactic Empire gained control of the galaxy, Divinian's father, Bog Divinian, was appointed as an Imperial Advisor to the Samarian government. Realizing the danger they were in, Astri Oddo approached Aaren Larker, the Samarian Prime Minister, who informed her of her estranged husband's scheme to capture their son and hand him over to the Empire for training at the Imperial Academy. Using stolen codes to a Platform-7 supercomputer, Astri Oddo managed to sabotage the equipment and escape the planet with her son.

After the platform was disabled, the Empire wasn't the only one interested in Divinian and his mother. In the following weeks, they were approached by Ferus Olin, a former Jedi Padawan, who was impressed by the boy's abilities. Olin agreed to take them to his hidden asteroid base, far from the Empire's watchful eyes, where Garen Muln, a former Jedi Master, helped Divinian learn to harness and control the Force.

Coruscant

During their stay on the asteroid, the Divinians found comfort among the other refugees, living in relative peace and safety. However, when Trever Flume returned to the base with activist Flame, Astri Oddo began to worry that their sanctuary would be targeted by the Empire sooner than expected. Fearing for her son's safety, they left the asteroid and went to Coruscant under the protection of Fy-Tor-Ana and Clive Flax, both Jedi Masters. Divinian's mother sought out Dexter Jettster, a Besalisk operative working against the Empire, hoping he could get them off-planet and to a safe world. While his mother met with Jettster, Divinian went to a park with Keets Freely and Curran Caladian, where he used the Force to modify the power slide, launching himself higher and performing somersaults. Detecting the boy's use of the Force, a squad of passing stormtroopers tried to capture Divinian, but his guardians managed to help him escape before they could reach him. However, the escape was short-lived; the stormtroopers captured the boy and escorted him to the nearby Imperial Naval Academy, where his father was waiting for him.

The Imperial Academy

Divinian began his indoctrination into Imperial Naval life at the Academy. After some time there, Trever Flume was recruited to rescue him. In one class, they managed to defeat Kestrel, one of the older cadets. However, Divinian's father received word from Sano Sauro, a Senator, that Darth Vader needed someone for a "special project." When Bog Divinian decided to send his son, Divinian and Flume tried to escape but were caught by Maggis, the head instructor. The two were separated, and Divinian met with his father again, who handed him over to Vader for the project. As Divinian was escorted off the premises with Vader, he learned that he was to be a test subject for a memory-altering drug created by Jenna Zan Arbor, a scientist. Before the drug could be administered, Ferus Olin rescued Divinian, and after jumping from a window, they were rescued by Flume and a defective Maggis. Safe from his father and Vader, Divinian returned to the asteroid to continue his training with Master Garen Muln. But peace was once again short-lived, as Vader led an assault group against the asteroid. Before the base and its occupants were destroyed, the three Jedi stationed there placed Divinian in an escape pod, ensuring he would survive to grow and carry on their cause.

Mercenary

After escaping the asteroid, Divinian was reunited with his mother and raised by Astri Oddo and Clive Flax, along with Trever Flume, who was purposefully brainwashed, on a world far from the Empire's reach. However, his parents continued their involvement in anti-Imperial activities. They and Trever apparently died on one such mission.

By 0 ABY, Divinian was working as a pilot and mercenary under the alias 'Div'. He was among the mercenaries hired by X-7 to hunt down Luke Skywalker on Kamino. After crash-landing on the planet and assisting Skywalker, he was captured and held on Yavin 4 by the Alliance to Restore the Republic, who wanted to know the location of his employer. Later, Imperial agents abducted him from his cell, and Skywalker set out to find him.

Upon being found by Skywalker, the pair fought off attacking Imperials, and with the help of Ferus Olin, escaped to a small asteroid. Once safe, Olin knocked Skywalker unconscious and caught up with Divinian, filling each other in on the events of the past few years. After helping Skywalker back to an Alliance base, Olin and Divinian both formally joined the Alliance and agreed to hunt down the assassin X-7. On Yavin IV, Divinian gave Luke at least one lesson in lightsaber combat.

During the mission, Olin convinced Divinian to deceive X-7 into believing he was Trever Flume, their old friend and Divinian's adopted brother, who had supposedly died years earlier. In doing so, Divinian himself became convinced of this. While their deception worked, the confused X-7 turned on Olin and Divinian, shooting Divinian in the shoulder and engaging Olin. When Olin stabbed X-7 in the heart, the assassin pleaded with Divinian to acknowledge that he mattered. Divinian agreed, recognizing that regardless of whether X-7 was Trever, he had once been part of a family to whom he was important.

Death

On his last mission, "Div" made the ultimate sacrifice in battle. He crashed his crippled starfighter into a TIE fighter to give Alliance members Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa time to escape the Imperial fleet and Darth Vader. With his mission accomplished, Divinian's crippled, burning starfighter plummeted into the gravity well of a nearby world. Divinian either died in the resulting crash or in the system-consuming explosion that followed shortly after.
