Legend

this former Jedi Knight was a descendant of the Tredway family which owned the 24 Tredway asteroid in the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt. He and his wife ran the mines to earn a living for their family, which included two children: Dena and Erling. Axton, like many Jedi of his age, fought in the Clone Wars, and became good friends with Anakin Skywalker. He even introduced Anakin to his family on 24 Tredway. However, the victory in the Clone Wars was a hollow one for Axton, and he returned home saddened at the state of the Old Republic. Shortly after Palpatine declared himself Emperor, Axton was hunted down and executed by Darth Vader on 24 Tredway, an event which shook his entire family. Axton's wife carried on, making the mines on the asteroid profitable enough to put Dena and Erling through school. However, both children joined the Alliance - in their own ways - and earned the anger of Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell. In an effort to capture Erling, Parnell destroyed 24 Tredway, killing Axton's wife and severely injuring Dena.
