Legend

a native of the planet Coruscant, this man was a Jedi Knights serving the Old Republic some 600 years before the Battle of Yavin. While on Coruscant, Timpel worked with the Jedi Council to screen potential candidates for training. One of these candidates was a young Gotal who was too old and lacked a deep connection to the Force. Life continued for Timpel, but he often found himself unable to adequately complete his missions due to the limitations and restrictions imposed by the Jedi Council. Years later, on a mission to Antar 4, Timpel once again encountered the Force-sensitive Gotal he had dismissed years ago. The Gotal, known as Kaskutal, still harbored resentment toward the Jedi Order, but it was overshadowed by his admiration for the work of the Jedi Knights. Putting aside their differences, Timpel and Kaskutal began discussing the need for more action by the Jedi Order. Timpel decided that it was time to form an organization which was separate from the Jedi Order yet allied with their ideals and goals. Along with funding from Kaskutal, Timpel formed the Antarian Rangers. Unfortunately, Timpel died shortly afterward, leaving the administration of the Rangers to Kaskutal.
