Legend

a Corellian General with the Alliance, his strict military background was formed during years of service to the Imperial Academy and the Empire. He took pride in the fact that, regardless of other Imperial squadrons' tactics, his team never took unneessary liberties during a a battle. However, when he began to see that his personal tactics were never going to be accepted, he tried to accept the Empire's ways himself. When this failed, he decided that it was time to seek out the Alliance. Using information on the Darktrooper project of Rom Mohc, Madine made his first contact with the Alliance. After his Storm Commandos were ordered to release the Candorian Plague on Dentaal, any vestige of support for the Empire left Madine completey. He erased all Imperial records of himself and sought out the Alliance. Mohc tracked him down and imprisoned him at Orinackra, but Kyle Katarn managed to rescue him. He made contact with his old friend, Carlist Rieekan, who put in some good words for him. When the Alliance accepted Madine, his Imperial training made him the logical choice to plan the assault on the second Death Star. There are rumors that the true reasons behind his defection deal with the receipt of a set of highly-criminal orders from Emperor Palpatine himself. They so assaulted his sensibilities that he lef the Empire. After Endor, he turned down a seat in the New Republic's Inner Council, preferring to remain with the Republic's growing military. He became the Republic's commander of Special Forces, drawing together a crack team of commandos who were prepared to enter any situation for the sake of the Republic. Not many of his accomplishments are known, due to their often secret nature. The one mission that was lauded by the New Republic, unfortunately, was also his last. He had taken a small team to infiltrate the Hoth asteroid field and determine the status of Durga the Hutt's Death Star revision, the Darksaber. A series of mishaps left Madine alone; Korenn had died entering the asteroid field, and Trandia died giving Madine a hope for escape. Madine chose not to escape, and was captured by Durga's alien guards. Durga, pleased with himself for hatching the Darksaber plot and capturing Madine, executed Madine with a blaster bolt through the heart.
