Xe Kozz

Xe first appears in Season 2: Grasp of the Empire!

Age: 23 Home Planet: Dorin Occupation: Scholar / Pilgrim

Xe Kozz grew up surrounded by violent storms, reveling in the duality of chaos and calmness. They learned to channel their calmness while studying among the Baran Do, but Xe was always convinced there were greater ways to harness the Force.

During A Shattered Galaxy, Xe was off on a remote planet studying under Reverend Master Jalomo Dregg and helping her tend to Lasat refugees. Their mind stretched thin thanks to massacres on Dorin by the True Empire, Xe lost control in a violent outburst.

Exiled from one home with the other destroyed, Xe is continuing to hunt for knowledge and hopefully redeem themself. Xe’s goal to limit the great tragedy of death and their desire to end the True Empire continue to tempt them closer to the edge of the storm, but with their newfound allies hope is on the horizon.

Senator VC-20

Beware, there are some mild spoilers for Season 1: A Shattered Galaxy - so go listen to that first if you want to experience it on your own!

𝐀𝐠𝐞: Unknown - centuries 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭: Coruscant 𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Senator

Since before the reformation of the Galcatic Republic, VC-20 campaigned to ensure that the Wookiees's sentience was recognized and respected. In gratitude for his tireless efforts, he was elected senator of Kashyyyk.

Always a steward and advocate of non-humanoid life, VC-20 set out to investigate rumors that some Anothian living crystals might be sentient. This led him and his friends to the shocking discovery of portals that could cross the galaxy in an instant. During the journey to discover the truth behind these devices, the group came across a cave, where someone or something spoke to them through deeply personal dreams. While droids do not dream, with some effort, the entity reached out in the form of a long-estranged friend to remind VC-20 that he too was a "luminous being" before it faded away.

Upon returning to Coruscant, VC-20 finds himself in a political theater more fraught than before -- and his old friend coming back into play, ready to thrust the galaxy into war yet again. Even if some combat is unavoidable, VC-20 still believes deep in his cognitive module that a peaceful and egalitarian future can be created through hard work, communication, and kindness.

Lumiya Organa - aka Miya

Beware, there are some mild spoilers for Season 1: A Shattered Galaxy - so go listen to that first if you want to experience it on your own!

Age: 19 (or 20, now) Home Planet: Coruscant Occupation: Pilot/Family Disaster

Miya Organa is the family disappointment: not subtle enough to be a politician like her mother, and not force sensitive like her older and younger brothers, so becoming a Jedi is out. But she has those Solo-Skywalker pilotinig reflexes (and their penchant for attracting trouble) so she is seeing where the stars take her. At the start of A Shattered Galaxy, she was in the doghouse with her Mom, and ended up on an adventure with Senator VC-20 that helped her locate her missing brother, the Jedi Knight Ronas.

But even as she grows into herself, and accepts that she'll never be like anyone in her family, her heart and ideals bring her into the heart of the conflict between the New Republic and the True Empire, where one of her oldest and dearest friends leads the fight against everything she and her family stand for.

Eshka Mela'orok

𝐀𝐠𝐞: 20 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭: Bothawui 𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Technician

Eshka is a curious cat who firmly believes machines are better than people. The beginning of Space Battles finds her a seemingly-unassuming landing dock mechanic on Corsucant who only ends up with the rest of the gang because she couldn't resist sneaking onto VC-20's ship to check out the cool tech. But when bounty hunters show up to collect her for the Hutts, it seems her past may be a liiiiittle more complicated.

By the end of A Shattered Galaxy, Eshka has learned the power of friendship (and developed a more-than-healthy fear of fire, thanks to a few close calls). But will this scrappy outlaw mechanic with a spotted Outer Rim past find her place in the New Republic?

Lirki’ama’souca

Beware, there are some mild spoilers for Season 1: A Shattered Galaxy - so go listen to that first if you want to experience it on your own!

Age: 26 Home Planet: Syrecht-Rey Occupation: Jedi Consular/Warrior

Lirki’ama’souca, or “Kiama” to those that don’t exactly know how to pronounce her Chiss name, is a Chiss foundling raised by Luke Skywalker at the Jedi temple on Syrecht-Rey. At the start of A Shattered Galaxy, she was found by the rest of the gang on Coruscant with no memory of her life and who she was - only a burning hatred for the man known as Luke Skywalker. During their travels, slowly parts of her memory returned, her past as Jedi including her romantic involvement with her fellow Jedi, Ronas Organa.

But at the end of A Shattered Galaxy, she still has many gaps in her memory, leaving questions unanswered. Her relationship with Luke is rocky at best and as further perils befall the galaxy, she finds herself once again thrust into conflict.

Hey Everyone,

We're the @spacebattlespodcast crew! We wanted to take a second to introduce ourselves from left to right!

First off, we have Brian, aka @thetasteoffire (or AlgorithmDaddy over on Twitter). Brian's our fearless leader, our cruel totally benevolent master of game. He is a programmer, composer, and typical Ohio Guy. He seeks the destruction of capitalism with every fiber of his being, but also wants to be Jean-Luc Picard.

Next up is Kevin (surreal.analysis on Instagram), who joined us in our second "Episode" Grasp of the Empire. Kevin is a kindly soul and also a force of chaos. He can be found trying to eat fish, even though he is extremely allergic.

Third we have Victoria, aka @aionimica (same over on Twitter), who helps with podcast editing, who runs most of the social media stuff for us. Her superpower is forgetting to hydrate and doing a lot of pull-ups.

Fourthly, we have Rebecca, aka @dinosaurjam (both here and on Twitter), who is a cat mom and aspiring woods witch and novelist. She has a tea for every mood.

Fifthly, we have Celia, aka @draganchitsa (aka crossing_winter on Twitter) who is absolutely a "functional" "adult" what are you talking about; her hair color is whatever vibe she's feeling that day.

And lastly we have Chris. He's off in Japan for now, living the adventure of the expat studying a new language. We are grateful for the internet because it means we can still hang out with him halfway around the world. He has a cat named Moses, who is a gentlemanly chonk.

We're currently in the process of recording the third arc of our show, and we're so excited to share it with all of you soon!
