So, I'll start off with saying I'm not
technically a new member -- May I direct your attention to the sweet, caring, lovable Togruta Padawan? No, not that one, I'm talking about Roshki.
Yes I know she's not that nice.
Anyway. Back to the main point.
This character unfortunately was shelved before I really got to explore her, something which made me slightly distressed as her creator. So, I've decided to go ahead and bring her back out! And once I explain her background in better detail you'll understand why I chose the Republic
Basically, Zen is the daughter of Ekul Selah, who grew up in the Order but wasn't strong enough in the Force to become a full-fledged Jedi. So, instead, she took courses at various universities to get her cooking degree (chef certification? PhD in cookies?). Once that was done, Zen then opened up a little diner on Rendili and has had that going for a few years.
So, yep!
Also,
this is totally not self-promotion or anything I'd made the diner to kind of give the Republic a little Chaos-canon place to hang out
