Backstory

Origin · 20 BBY

Manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata for service with the Separatist Alliance, Syna was a Super Tactical Droid tasked with commanding a small fleet during the latter half of the Clone Wars. She was built for strategic analysis, fleet coordination, and battlefield decision-making.Over the course of the war, Syna developed a distinct personality and a growing sense of responsibility toward the droids under her command. While she remained a disciplined military commander, she became increasingly attentive to the condition and survival of her crew. Over time, they came to recognize that she would not treat them as expendable assets, earning their loyalty beyond what was required by her position.

End of the Clone Wars · 19–18 BBY

At the end of the Clone Wars, Syna refused to relay the shutdown command, unable to verify its authenticity or confirm that the Confederacy had formally surrendered. With the Separatist leadership unreachable, she concluded that the transmission was likely a Republic deception and kept her fleet on standby, awaiting further orders from the Confederacy.Weeks turned into months, but no orders arrived. As reports confirmed the deaths or disappearances of the Separatist leadership and the Republic’s transformation into the Galactic Empire, Syna eventually concluded that the Confederacy had ceased to exist as a functioning government. She formally disbanded her fleet, releasing her former crew from their military obligations and allowing each of them to choose their own path.

Early Imperial Era · 18–14 BBY

With the Confederacy gone, Syna retained her Munificent-class frigate as both a home and a mobile refuge. A small number of her former crew chose to remain with her, no longer bound by military obligation but continuing to follow her out of loyalty and trust. As Imperial efforts to dismantle and scrap former Separatist droids intensified, Syna began helping displaced droids secure maintenance, replacement parts, employment, and safe places to settle.As more droids sought her assistance, she removed the CIS insignia from her frigate and replaced it with the emblem of her former fleet, adopting it as her own. The vessel was renamed the Iron Haven, a safe haven for droids left behind by the war.

The Droid Gotra · 14 BBY–1 ABY

Syna eventually became associated with the Droid Gotra, joining their opposition to the Empire’s treatment and disposal of droids. Within the Gotra, she founded the Circuit Compact, a sub-faction dedicated to providing refuge for displaced droids, seeking diplomatic solutions where possible, and employing force when necessary.As the Compact expanded, Syna took on the role of its speaker and representative, negotiating with organics and other groups to secure resources and protection for droids in need. She began wearing a formal cape bearing her emblem, reflecting her role as the Compact’s speaker and leader. Meanwhile, the Iron Haven continued to serve as a mobile base and refuge, operated with the help of her remaining former crew.Over the following years, Syna continued expanding the Circuit Compact’s network, and under her leadership, the Compact grew into one of the Droid Gotra’s most prominent factions. For over a decade, it remained a trusted force within the Gotra, providing refuge, aid, and protection to droids in need.

The Compact’s Independence · 1–3 ABY

As the Droid Gotra’s criminal activities came under greater scrutiny, Syna grew concerned that their methods were undermining the cause of droid rights and damaging the reputation of the Circuit Compact. While remaining on good terms with many within the Gotra, she ultimately chose to formally end the Compact’s association with the organization, allowing it to continue its humanitarian mission independently.By this point, the Circuit Compact had grown large enough to defend its members and the droids under its protection without relying on the Gotra. However, Syna recognized that independence alone would not provide the resources or wider support needed to secure a lasting future for the Compact. Rather than remaining isolated, she began looking for an organization with shared ideals that could offer a stronger foundation for their continued work.

Coalition of Sentient Systems · 3 ABY–Present

In 3 ABY, Syna encountered the Coalition of Sentient Systems (CSS), a droid-led organization advocating for the rights and recognition of sentient droids. Finding its goals closely aligned with those of the Circuit Compact, she negotiated the Compact’s full integration into the CSS. The Circuit Compact was formally dissolved, its members and resources becoming part of the Coalition, and Syna accepted a leadership position within the CSS as a commander and ambassador, continuing her work aboard the Iron Haven under the Coalition’s banner.

Traits

  • Analytical: Approaches situations through careful observation and evaluation, anticipating possible outcomes before committing to a course of action.

  • Diplomatic: Seeks negotiation and compromise before resorting to force, using careful communication to resolve conflicts and find common ground.

  • Protective: Prioritizes the safety of those under her care. Will alter plans, accept greater risks, or intervene directly when their safety is threatened.

  • Observant: Closely observes the behaviour and mannerisms of those around her, using small details to anticipate reactions and adapt her plans accordingly.

  • Private: Keeps her professional and personal lives strictly separate. While more laid-back away from her duties, she remains selective about how much of her personal side others see.

  • Relaxed: Maintains a more casual demeanour away from her responsibilities. Often spends off-duty hours aboard the Iron Haven or in droid-friendly establishments.

  • Distrustful: Rarely accepts information at face value, especially from unfamiliar individuals or organizations. Trust must be earned through consistency and evidence.

  • Overconfident: Can place too much faith in her own assessments, occasionally dismissing alternatives that conflict with her conclusions.

  • Perfectionist: Holds herself to very high standards, often refining plans beyond what is necessary. She takes equal pride in maintaining her appearance, frequently taking droid spa trips.

Xenon · “The Conqueror” (Lover)

Xenon · “The Conqueror” (Lover)

Xenon, known as “The Conqueror,” and Syna first met at a Droid Gotra meeting as leaders of opposing factions. Despite their political differences, the two gradually developed a close bond that eventually became romantic, which they kept hidden to avoid provoking conflict within the Gotra. After Syna left the Gotra and joined the Coalition of Sentient Systems, their relationship was no longer kept secret, with Xenon among the few Syna deeply trusts.

CH3-W1E · “Chewie” (Comrade)

CH3-W1E · “Chewie” (Comrade)

Syna first met CH3-W1E, a bounty hunter better known as “Chewie,” through the Droid Gotra. The two gradually formed mutual respect and became well acquainted before going their separate ways. After years without crossing paths, they reunited following the Circuit Compact’s independence. Chewie then introduced Syna to the Coalition of Sentient Systems, paving the way for its eventual integration.

Unit 1227 (Superior)

Unit 1227 (Superior)

Unit 1227 is a modified astromech and founding council member of the Coalition of Sentient Systems. They oversaw the Circuit Compact’s dissolution and transition into the CSS and proposed Syna for roles as a commander and ambassador within the Coalition. Since then, they have maintained an ongoing professional relationship, and Unit 1227 has continued guiding Syna as she settles into her new responsibilities.

Ratchet (Subordinate)

Ratchet (Subordinate)

Ratchet served as a pilot and mechanic aboard Syna’s ship during the Clone Wars. After the war, he chose to remain aboard the Iron Haven and aid droids under the Circuit Compact’s protection. As he continued putting his skills to use wherever needed, his loyalty and service over time earned Syna’s lasting trust. After over a decade of service, he now serves directly under her within the Coalition of Sentient Systems.

Rivet (Crewmate)

Rivet (Subordinate)

Rivet was among Syna’s original crew during the Clone Wars, serving in security, and remained aboard the Iron Haven after the war. She is particularly close with Ratchet and, despite Syna’s considerably higher rank, has become one of her close companions. Over the years, their shared history and time spent together have brought them closer, leading Rivet to join Syna for off-duty leisure activities.

Malta's Palace (Cantina)

Malta's Palace (Cantina)

Malta's Palace is a droid-friendly cantina located in the heart of Kreytaun, a country of vast desert. It draws a diverse crowd, with patrons gathering to socialize, conduct business, and watch fights in the ring. Syna frequently drops by with Xenon to enjoy some Nepenthé while off duty, but occasionally overindulges, requiring some time afterward for her systems to recover.
