Kyp Durron

Kyp Durron is a male human currently living on Earth in a suburb of. Kyp currently serves as a civilian supervisor to Remnant operations in the South Central U.S. sector. This position places Kyp in direct supervision of Remnant General Jonas Ashley and Ashley's successor General Rich Terrik. He also serves as a Master in the Jedi Order of Earth.

Early Life
Kyp was born on Deyer which is a colony in the Anoat System in 1970. He lived with his parents and older brother until 1978 when he and his family were taken into custody by the Galactic Empire due to his parents' anti-Imperial activities which had increased following the Destruction of Alderaan by the First Death Star the year prior. While Zeth was sent to the Imperial Academy on Cardia and trained as a Stormtrooper, Kyp and his parents were sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel as slaves where his parents eventually died during a prison revolt following the Battle of Endor.

After this, Kyp encountered a woman named Vima-Da-Boda who realized that Kyp was able to use The Force and gave him some informal training before she was taken away. Kyp continued working as a slave despite the mines now being controlled by the crime lord Moruth Doole until 1989 when he got caught up in the middle of Galactic events.

A New Life
In 1989, Doole captured Han Solo and Chewbacca who had been sent to Kessel on a diplomatic mission for the New Republic. Doole who knew Solo from Solo's smuggling days quickly sent the two into the spice mines where they met Kyp and began planning their escape while Doole fed a string of lies to Solo's wife the former Princess of Alderaan Leia Organa Solo about Solo's ship having been lost in The Maw black hole cluster. Eventually, Kyp escaped along with Solo and Chewbacca on a shuttle and helped Solo pilot the ship through a black hole where they discovered a secret Imperial weapons facility known as Maw Installation. The three were then captured again, this time by Imperial Admiral Natasi Daala who questioned Kyp and Han before deciding that Kyp had no value to her and ordering his execution. Eventually, Solo sprung Kyp from Daala's Death Row with the help of defecting Maw scientist Qwi Xux who also sprung Chewbacca from a Wookiee slave labor detail before making off with the Sun Crusher, a superweapon capable of destroying entire star systems. After ramming the Sun Crusher through the bridge of one of Daala's Star Destroyers and tangling with Doole's fleet which had been chasing Lando Calrissian and Luke Skywalker after the two along with R2-D2 had reclaimed the Millennium Falcon from Doole before Doole's fleet decided to engage Daala's fleet which had followed the four out of the Maw. Kyp would spend some time on Coruscant with Solo and his family until heading off to Skywalker's Yavin 4 Jedi Academy where he joined his fellow classmates Streen, Dorsk 81, and Bryan Khayman among others.

While there, Kyp fell under the influence of the spirit of the Sith Lord Exar Kun. Kun encouraged Kyp to seek revenge against the Empire among other things which included attacks on Xux and Skywalker and raising the Sun Crusher from the planet Yavin. Kyp used the weapon first to attack Daala's fleet as it prepared for an attack on Coruscant and then to attack Cardia after he rescued Zeth. This however ended with Zeth's death due to the stall tactics of Cardia's Ambassador Furgan which included telling Kyp that his brother had died in an accident. Kyp later attacked a system in the Core Worlds where the Empire had taken refuge after numerous defeats. While there, he was confronted by Solo while his classmates managed to vanquish Kun. Kyp eventually surrendered to Solo who took him back to Coruscant where Chief of State Mon Mothma decided that Luke was the only one fit to pass judgement on Kyp's actions. Luke opted to give Kyp a second chance, but had one task that Kyp had to complete as part of his atonement. This was to destroy the Sun Crusher by sending it into one of the Maw's black holes. After a battle involving Wedge Antilles, Daala, and the Death Star Prototype that had been built to test the superlaser that would be used on the actual battle station, Kyp sent both Death Star and Sun Crusher into a black hole after squeezing himself into a message cylinder by breaking most of his bones. With this Trial completed, Luke welcomed Kyp back into the New Jedi Order although some such as Corran Horn had their concerns.

Kyp and Dorsk 81 quickly became friends and when Dorsk 81 graduated alongside Kyp a year later, Kyp joined the clone on his homeworld of Khomm if only to keep an eye on the Empire. The two Jedi eventually found their way to an Imperial rally where much to his horror, Kyp discovered that Daala was alive and well and had assumed command over the entire Empire with the help of Gilad Pellaeon with plans to attack the Jedi Academy. The two narrowly escaped and sounded the alarm although Daala moved her plans up and added Dorsk 81's homeowrld to the top of a list of planets that were to be attacked as a diversion while she and Pellaeon attacked Yavin 4. Kyp then helped defend the Academy although Dorsk 81 died after channeling The Force to throw Pellaeon's fleet out of the Yavin System. Eventually, Daala was defeated again and resigned her rank in disgrace while Kyp welcomed Dorsk 82 to the Academy and saw Bryan Khayman off to his own homeworld of KO-35. Kyp however did hold concerns about Khayman's homeworld becoming a target of the Empire one day and told Khayman who simply told him that Zordon would know what to do if they showed up. Kyp like everyone else was shocked when Zordon was destroyed in 1998 at the hands of Andros Khayman in a self-sacrifice and kept his guard up after hearing that an Imperial Star Destroyer had found its way to the corner of the galaxy that the Khaymans lived in soon after. Kyp eventually made plans to join Khayman on KO-35 as he was unaware that Khayman was now living on Earth and had located other Jedi on that planet.

Time in New York
In 2001 following a devastating Imperial attack on New York City, Kyp was sent to Earth to ensure the delivery of the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO to the Astro Rangers. Durron's arrival was plagued by the news that Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod had built and completed a third Death Star as well as using it to destroy KO-35 which was the homeworld of fellow Jedi Bryan Khayman. When Jerjerrod began working on a fourth Death Star, Kyp stayed behind in New York after Bryan told him that he had been told by Stormtrooper Tevin Felth about Wanda Houston being in hiding in the city. After the battle station was destroyed by Khayman during the Battle of Gratha and Houston seen to safety, Kyp and Bryan were promoted to Jedi Masters and began training Jedi that were found on the planet. Kyp spent the rest of 2003 living peacefully in New York City and helping Bryan with the transition of the Empire into the Remnant.

Durron, Texas Jedi
In 2004, Kyp was asked by James Rommel to motivate an Imperial general stationed in Dallas, Texas. Upon arriving, Kyp found that the General had a habit of using the 501st for his own personal reasons including grabbing potential girlfriends off the streets. Kyp immediately began to reshape the operation by forcing the general, Jonas Ashley to clean up after a Texas Ranger's horse did it's business. This motivation as well as the news that Kyp was his boss shocked the general. Kyp also picked up Khayman's sense of humor and often tampered with Ashley's car. Kyp later filed behind Ashley's back a 20-page report to Davin Felth detailing Ashley's conduct, this reaffirmed the decision to make Kyp Ashley's boss. Kyp and Ashley eventually maintained a close friendship due in part to Ashley's often humorous stunts. Kyp has also made peace via Ashley with the Empire and was reportedly joyed to hear the Jerjerrod and Veers were executed. Kyp also met and married a woman named Lauren who worked as a Federal Prosecutor in Dallas. The couple later welcomed a son named Seth who was named after Kyp's deceased brother with Jonas serving as an honorary Uncle.

In 2008 and again in 2009, Kyp traveled to Haddonfield, Illinois to help Michael Myers deal with the Sith Lord Darth Sidious who had joined forces with Doctor Terence Wynn and set his sights on inflicting Michael's son Josh with the Curse of Thorn in 2008 and returned a year later seeking revenge on Michael for ruining his plans. As part of this, Kyp also worked closely with the spirit of Anakin Skywalker. In 2010, Kyp appeared at the funeral for Bryan Khayman after Khayman had been killed by Sidious and was surprised to see Michael in attendance as well. In 2013, Kyp joined the Jedi Order of Earth after hearing that it had been formalized by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.

In Late 2019, Kyp reported to Davin Felth that Jonas had been killed when his car was struck head-on by a drunk driver. Aware of a number of Remnant officers with questionable loyalties and the growing crisis involving the First Order, Kyp indirectly requested Richie Terrik as Jonas' replacement. The Durrons later welcomed the Terriks to Texas and Kyp explained to Rich how things were done in Texas with Kyp adding a joke about the most violent of suspects requiring hogties after being subdued as per Texas Livestock Law which earned him glares from Lauren and Amy Terrik.
