Physical Description: Strong and muscular. Quite intimidating to look at, with broad shoulders and perfectly defined muscles from his neck to his calves. Purposely wears tunics with the arms cut off to showcase his well-developed biceps. He is fast and has quick reflexes. Exceptional eyesight which helps his aim when using a blaster.
Professional History: He assumed the head of the Cordann Syndicate when he was 21. Cade turned the Syndicate from a merchant and shipping company to a crime syndicate. He is still at the head of his syndicate and controls it with an iron hand. He is now beginning a play to be the head of the Corporate Sector and to control the CSA.
Background: Born 29 years ago to a powerful and
wealthy family. His father Dage Cordann was a member of the Old Republic
Senate.
Dage was the founder of the Cordann Syndicate. While Dage was serving in the
Senate his brother, Cade’s uncle, Lorn Cordann ran the Syndicate. Under Lorn’s
leadership the business grew to encompass a variety of endeavors from mining,
luxury liners, casino’s, shipyards, smuggling, banking and numerous black
market profiteering schemes. The black market trading is of course secret and
one of the highest credit making sections of the Cordann Syndicate.
During this time the family grew to prominence in the Old Republic. Dage had the power and his brother Lorn had the credits. They worked together to build a web of power across the Galaxy.
Unfortunately Dage and Lorn underestimated Senator Palpatine. When Palpatine took control and dismantled the Old Republic government, including the Senate, Dage’s power dissolved. Seeing Dage and Lorn as a threat to him, Palpatine hired bounty hunters to have them dealt with.
After the death of his father and uncle, his mother Verresta took over the Syndicate. She handed it over to Cade when he turned 21. Verresta still gives her son advice from time to time and is invaluable to him in many sectors of the Galaxy.
Cade expanded his family's business to weapons when the Rebellion began. He has no love for the Empire but he feels its necessary to appear neutral so that his Corporation can continue making a profit and avoid Imperial entanglements. He's chosen the planet Tel'Thranan as the Syndicates HQ, because the Empire doesn't have complete access to the surface and when they do come he can hide quite well in the Mountain ranges of Ekreska. His palace on Tel'Thranan is impressive. It is equipped with repulsors but they're rarely used. He can move the palace though and hide in the mountain ranges of the planet. The palace is full of servants and slave girls. He has a weakness for women.
Cade has many employees. You could probably find more than 50 species working for him at any given time and innumerable droids at his disposal. He has two Wookiee bodyguards, Lokal and the other he's nicknamed Lancer. He cant pronounce the Wookiee's real name. He also has a few Drall servants who also act as record keepers.
Cade is known for his immense list of contacts throughout the Galaxy ranging from bounty hunters, smugglers, Hutts and even diplomats and pirates. The Repair Shipyards in orbit of Tel'Thranan are just one of the many shipyards he's scattered across the Galaxy.
Most of his early history is unknown as Cade, his mother and his siblings had
to hide during his childhood, fearing that the Emperor had a contract out on
their lives.
The Cordann Syndicates Starliner cruisers are actually four modified Mon Calamari Cruisers. Their names are CSN Whitestar, CSN Paradise, CSN Scarlett's Eye and the CSN Resolution. The Starliner business is legitimate and transports any and all passengers who can pay the fare. The Empire generally allows the Starliners to travel without restrictions. Cade had just bought a new luxury liner for his personal use Cordann's Pride, a Sorosuub Luxury 5000(above.) It's been modified and refit, but tech specs have not been released, decks plans are old mods not the current configuration.
The Cordann Syndicate's financial holdings are extensive. Therefore his brother Corin and sister Caylee assist in the running of the family business. They both know who has the final word, Cade's word is never questioned.
Personality: Cade Cordann can be summed up in one word- Greedy. If you needed a second word to describe him it would be powermonger. He is also a ladies man. He possesses the perfect mind for a merchant. Business savvy, diplomatic and rules his syndicate with an iron hand. Can get violent. Cade’s the kind of man you don’t want as your enemy. He’s tough, smart and rich and displays all the characteristics that usually accompany those three traits.
Vehicle of Choice: A YT-2400 that is extremely
modified containing a .5 hyperdrive and enough firepower and shield generators
to take on just about anything that attacks it. He does his best to stay out of
the range of a Star Destroyer however. Cade has nicknamed his ship The Rising
Star. He has also just bought a new SoroSuub Luxury 5000 which Cade's in
love with, he's named it Cordann's Pride.
Base Of Operations: HQ is a hovering palace on Tel'Thranan. It is about a half mile above the Thranan surface, and 1/10th the size of the Cloud City Complex on Bespin. The decor is ornate and it is as heavily guarded as the Imperial Palace. It is moved on a daily basis and never spends the night in the same place twice. It hovers above the Continent of Ekreska. (Note- it is not the Orbital Shipyards)

Superhuman Powers or Augmentations to Body: He has
unusual things happen to him at times. He hasn’t been able to explain it. He
currently just ignores the strange occurrences and continues seeking more
credits. It is believed to be that Cade is Force Sensitive and has displayed
such power, he is not in complete control of it and doesn't know when the powers
will display themselves.
