[[Atton Kira]] is a former Intelligence Analyst for the Galactic Republic. He has fashioned himself the role of a Freelance Investigative Journalist, using his skills as an Analyst to uncover various truths that are then sold to whoever will buy them - be they Holonet, private citizen, or criminal organisation. He often refers to himself as "The Doctor", though no one seems to know what of. With his Yacht - the ''[[Iego Angel]]'' - currently grounded, he is currently a resident passenger aboard the ''[[Knightfall]]''.

'''Atton Kira''' is a veteran Intelligence Officer who served in the Republic military during the Clone Wars. After several years as an investigative journalist for Holonet News, he became an information broker, with ties to [[Black Sun]] and other criminal groups. He has recently been tied to [[Emelie Shadowstar]]. He refers to himself as Doctor, but what he is a Doctor of is unclear.

== History ==
 +
Benjamin Kira's father was an eminent lawyer during the Galactic Republic, who for a short time was married to [[Contessa Ath-Thu'ban]] of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Alderaan Alderaan]. Their marriage was short-lived however; following their divorce, Benjamin left Alderaan with the couple's infant son, Atton, and moved to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ord_Radama Ord Radama]. The family moved frequently as Benjamin pursued a career into the higher levels of the Republic legal system, and Atton was raised mostly by his father's second wife, Janice. Atton had trouble forming lasting friendships; instead he dedicated himself to his studies, and in particular made a hobby of learning local languages and about local cultures. Combined with his tendency to downplay his emotions, Atton was often likened to a protocol droid as a child.

+
During the Clone Wars, Atton's familiarity with language allowed him to volunteer as an Intelligence Officer with the Grand Army of the Republic, mostly monitoring communications intercepts to screen for nuances that linguistics droids had missed. Following the declaration of the New Order, Benjamin Kira was one of the public figures who openly questioned the legitimacy of Palpatine's new Empire. Quickly branded a rebel sympathiser, a squad of Clone Troopers was sent to the Kira residence to "investigate" the validity of accusations against him; Benjamin, Janice, and Atton's half-sister Katrine were killed while "resisting arrest".
−
Born on the old Corellian colony of [[Ord Lithone]], Atton was the son of eminent Republic lawyer Tristan Kira. While still very young, Tristan moved his family to the Core Worlds in search of better pay and more challenging cases, and eventually found himself working for the High Court on [[Coruscant]]. The career move provided the family with a great deal of wealth, and led to a somewhat spoiled childhood for Atton. Impulsive and reckless, Atton was frequently in trouble for misusing his share of the family fortune. At his worst he became a public embarassment to his father, gathering a lot of media attention towards himself; ultimately his father decided to make a very bold and public statement by having his son sent to the Republic Military Academy, in order to beat some discipline into him.
+
  
−
Though reckless, Atton's youth wasn't entirely wasted: naturally bright, he had always performed well at school, but found the lack of a challenge to be boring. The Academy provided him with the challenge that his life had been missing, and he dove eagerly into his new responsibilities, adjusting well to the new situation his life had presented. He graduated with scores that impressed even his father, and as an Ensign in the Republic Navy was quickly recruited by Republic Intelligence.
+
Atton dropped off the radar for over a decade, eventually resurfacing as an investigative journalist working for Holonet News, with a sideline in information brokering. In recent years, Atton's less legal career became his priority. While not officially affiliated with the [[Black Sun]] cartel they are frequent associates, and Atton is currently on staff at one of their casino bars, working as a barman both as a cover identity and to help pass the time. When a Hutt acquired the [[Holiday Towers]] Casino & Resort however, he resigned on principle; he went on to back [[Emelie Shadowstar]] in her founding of [[Elysian Acquisitions]], providing half of the start-up capital.

Atton had just completed basic Intelligence training when the Clone Wars began, and served as an Intelligence Analyst for their entire duration, eventually rising to the rank of Lieutenant. He worked closely with the Jedi on a number of occasions, helping to prepare the intelligence reports on Separatist movements and activities that would later be presented to the Jedi High Council. One Jedi in particular - Tymon Xaarl - paid particular attention to the young Lieutenant, although Atton never discovered why, and never had a chance to ask: Master Xaarl was killed during the Jedi purge that followed Order 66.

In the future, Atton Kira's and his family settled on [[Susevfi]], becoming liked and respected leaders of the community. Atton was appointed Senator, representing the world in the Galactic Alliance Senate. He had two great-nephews, [[Inyos Atton Ath-Thu'ban|TTony]] and [[Mandan Montegue Ath-Thu'ban|Danny]], but had not remarried or had children of his own. He did however adopt a son, who took over his role in [[the Exchange]].

'''Benjamin Kira''' † was Atton's father. He worked as a criminal prosecutor, initially in local courts in the Mid Rim, before moving up through the hierarchy to the highest levels of the Republic Courts. Atton holds a great deal of resentment towards his father, who he feels advanced his career at the cost of his family, and also exclusively blames him for their deaths.

With the destruction of the Jedi and the defeat of the Separatists came the rise of the New Order. Atton's father was by then a prominent figure on Coruscant, and was very vocal about his views on the illegal nature of Palpatine's political take-over. Their house was raided by Clone Troopers and their assets siezed; Atton's father, mother, and younger sister didn't survive. Fortunately for Atton his status within the Republic Navy had shielded him, and reports by his superiors were enough to assure the officers conducting Palpatine's purge of his enemies that Atton wasn't worth the trouble; the same superiors however advised that Atton leave Imperial service and find a place to stay out of the galaxy's way. Using the money in his trust fund - all that remained of his family's accumulated wealth - Atton went into hiding.

−
Not emerging back into view of the galaxy for twenty years, the Atton that resurfaced was a very different individual than the one that had disappeared. Aside from gaining the title of Doctor from somewhere (Atton continues to be very secretive about its nature and origins), Atton managed to get himself a job working for the Imperial Holonet as a freelance reporter, paid for any stories that he submitted and were published. The pay was particularly low, but was ultimately unnecessary: Atton merely took the job as a cover for his new past-time.

'''[[Sadie K'Vesh]]''' is a slicer, and a low level member of Atton's information broker network. For reasons unknown he has a sentimental attachment to her, dedicating resources to keeping tabs on her and - for the most part - trying to keep her out of trouble. His efforts missed her dropping off the grid however, and Atton's fondness for [[Emelie Shadowstar]] and [[Vittore Montegue]] is largely due to them spotting and rectifying his mistake before it was too late.
  
−
Putting to work the skills learned from his father and from Republic Intelligence, Atton roamed the galaxy as an "investigative journalist", trying to uncover the galaxy's secrets and mysteries to satiate his own curiosity. Some of those secrets he kept; others he sold to the holonet to earn his keep and the privilages that being a registered reporter granted him, and some he sold to the more seedy aspects of society for a little money on the side - at the right price, of course. As an information broker, Atton is known to have dealings with the Hutts and Black Sun, suspected of ties to the Rebel Alliance, and rumoured to possibly have sold information to the Galactic Empire in the past.

'''[[Vittore Montegue]]''' is a bounty hunter who Atton has had occasional dealings with in the past, mostly via his father, [[Hugo Montegue]]. Vittore and [[Cambrio Montegue|his brother]] once stole [[Crimson Tide|Atton's ship]], but the insurance payout was sizeable enough that Atton isn't too broken up about it. Recently, he has developed a grudging respect for Vittore, in no small part due to his efforts in saving [[Sadie K'Vesh]].

A few years after the death of Palpatine, Atton travelled to the Imperial-friendly world of [[Baraboo]] to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding the unexpected death of future Sovereign [[Decelia Andonel]] and her parents.

After several years of roaming the galaxy, Atton's ship - the ''[[Iago Angel]]'' developed mechanical faults that eventually spelled the end of the Hyperdrive. With Imperial Customs causing extensive delays for the shipments of replacement parts to [[Nar Shaddaa]], Atton arranged long-term passage aboard the ''[[Knightfall]]'' - a smuggling vessel working as part of the Alliance Support Fleet - to avoid spending months stranded on the Hutt moon.

Atton Kira is a veteran Intelligence Officer who served in the Republic military during the Clone Wars. After several years as an investigative journalist for Holonet News, he became an information broker, with ties to Black Sun and other criminal groups. He has recently been tied to Emelie Shadowstar. He refers to himself as Doctor, but what he is a Doctor of is unclear.

He currently lives on Cloud City, where he works as a casino barman as a cover for his illegal activities.

History

Benjamin Kira's father was an eminent lawyer during the Galactic Republic, who for a short time was married to Contessa Ath-Thu'ban of Alderaan. Their marriage was short-lived however; following their divorce, Benjamin left Alderaan with the couple's infant son, Atton, and moved to Ord Radama. The family moved frequently as Benjamin pursued a career into the higher levels of the Republic legal system, and Atton was raised mostly by his father's second wife, Janice. Atton had trouble forming lasting friendships; instead he dedicated himself to his studies, and in particular made a hobby of learning local languages and about local cultures. Combined with his tendency to downplay his emotions, Atton was often likened to a protocol droid as a child.

During the Clone Wars, Atton's familiarity with language allowed him to volunteer as an Intelligence Officer with the Grand Army of the Republic, mostly monitoring communications intercepts to screen for nuances that linguistics droids had missed. Following the declaration of the New Order, Benjamin Kira was one of the public figures who openly questioned the legitimacy of Palpatine's new Empire. Quickly branded a rebel sympathiser, a squad of Clone Troopers was sent to the Kira residence to "investigate" the validity of accusations against him; Benjamin, Janice, and Atton's half-sister Katrine were killed while "resisting arrest".

Atton dropped off the radar for over a decade, eventually resurfacing as an investigative journalist working for Holonet News, with a sideline in information brokering. In recent years, Atton's less legal career became his priority. While not officially affiliated with the Black Sun cartel they are frequent associates, and Atton is currently on staff at one of their casino bars, working as a barman both as a cover identity and to help pass the time. When a Hutt acquired the Holiday Towers Casino & Resort however, he resigned on principle; he went on to back Emelie Shadowstar in her founding of Elysian Acquisitions, providing half of the start-up capital.

Years From Now

In the future, Atton Kira's and his family settled on Susevfi, becoming liked and respected leaders of the community. Atton was appointed Senator, representing the world in the Galactic Alliance Senate. He had two great-nephews, TTony and Danny, but had not remarried or had children of his own. He did however adopt a son, who took over his role in the Exchange.

Family

Benjamin Kira † was Atton's father. He worked as a criminal prosecutor, initially in local courts in the Mid Rim, before moving up through the hierarchy to the highest levels of the Republic Courts. Atton holds a great deal of resentment towards his father, who he feels advanced his career at the cost of his family, and also exclusively blames him for their deaths.

Katrine Kira † was Atton's younger sister, though he almost exclusively called her Katie. Atton once purchased an astromech, R4-K8, purely because the salesmen referred to her as Katie. She tragically died shortly after the fall of the Republic.

Sadie K'Vesh is a slicer, and a low level member of Atton's information broker network. For reasons unknown he has a sentimental attachment to her, dedicating resources to keeping tabs on her and - for the most part - trying to keep her out of trouble. His efforts missed her dropping off the grid however, and Atton's fondness for Emelie Shadowstar and Vittore Montegue is largely due to them spotting and rectifying his mistake before it was too late.

Vittore Montegue is a bounty hunter who Atton has had occasional dealings with in the past, mostly via his father, Hugo Montegue. Vittore and his brother once stole Atton's ship, but the insurance payout was sizeable enough that Atton isn't too broken up about it. Recently, he has developed a grudging respect for Vittore, in no small part due to his efforts in saving Sadie K'Vesh.

Emelie Shadowstar is a young businesswoman of dubious legality and morals, who Atton has taken as his protégé and hopefully successor. Atton has agreed to invest in every venture Miss Shadowstar engages in for the next ten years (until 20 ABY), at which point he plans to collect his profits and retire, leaving Emelie in control of everything.
