Now that's really cool. Which character was it?
It's a backstory for an extra called Chyler who appears for a split second during the evacuation of Bespin.
However, backstories have been developed for more notable minor characters, such as the crew member on the Radiant VII, Anakins childhood friend Melee and the captain of the Invisible Hand: Lushros Dofine, among others
Great backstory, yodas_waiter. I also liked the other backstories you included, especially Melee's.

Awesome Thread!
I would say my favorite minor character would be Doran Tainer. I can just imagine a Force strong little Kell! 
I do love Ghent as well!

Cool thread! 
Favorite minor characters are (in no particular order): Dengar, Shawnkyr (thanks Jade, I'd never spell that right), Piggy and Runt from the Wraiths, Droma (Han's temp sidekick from the NJO), Jos (from the MedStar novels) and I-5 (also from the MedStar novels). I-5 is also a big inspiration for my own OC droid, Loki. Those who know Loki and have read the novels may have already seen the similarities.

Just a note to let you all know, I updated the index, and all of Abeja's fics... at least the ones that are in the sig are included now. Also, I failed to include brodiew as Jade_Pilot's co-author on "Changing Sides".
If anyone sees any more mistakes, just let me know either in the thread or via PM.

Done.
Sorry about not including it sooner. I meant to after I read it, but since I was on my original account, I couldn't do it. Then when I logged off as Alexis, I forgot.

yodas_waiter, that's a good backstory! I especially like that she's part of ISB.
Thank you! Her being an ISB operative and working with Aqualish were already pre-determined facts established by the CCG card game. The rest, except her first name, is all me.
Great backstory, yodas_waiter. I also liked the other backstories you included, especially Melee's.
Thanks I always find it cool how even the smallest extra has a story to tell in the Star Wars galaxy.
I can't tell you how tempted I am to write a story starring Chyler

Yo Commish -- Just a question here. Are you planning on organizing the index by type within the boards (i.e., "Rogue Squadron," "Imperials," "Cantina characters" etc.)? I could see this getting kind of unwieldy if all the stories get indexed.
Just wondering.

Actually, I was going to just let it go with alphabetizing by author within the three eras. When there gets to be too many stories in one era, I'll start breaking up the index to A - G, H - N, and M - Z, again by author. I'll use those reserved threads for that purpose (though for the 'before the saga' era, I accidentally included a third reserved thread... ironic, since that is the one that has the least amount of stories so far).
BTW, I hope you all enjoyed the run on sentence gag I posted for the reserved threads. 
Minor League Challenge #1:
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to write a vignette (one shot story) about a minor character you've never written about before, and post it on Monday, October 8, 2007. I will not specify board time because I know that could create problems for those who live in different time zones. Just post it sometime on Monday, Oct. 8, your time. The only rule (besides having it not violate TOS, of course) is you have "Minor League Directory Challenge" or "MLD Challenge" on the subject line, and link to this thread in your summary. Let's flood the boards on that day and show how glorious minor characters can truly be! Oh, and don't forget to post a link to your story here or PM me with it (I'm lonely and want more PM's ). Most of all, have fun with this!

Here's a fun minor character: Darth Vectivus. Apparently he was a fairly successful secret Sith during the millennium before the movies. I'm a bit puzzled by his living out his days surrounded by friends and family in a location that had been driving people insane.
I found him through Wookieepedia's page on banthas, of all things.

Baby banthas are quite cute....
...Not sure I could write him, though. Hmm.

Wow, a Sith Lord who doesn't succumb to the lure of power? Now that's rather unique!
