Subject Name: Medil

Homeworld: Aut Matok

Species: Matoki

Gender: Non-binary (sexless)

Affiliation: Matoki Kingdom

Medil is the heir to the throne of Aut Matok, a world in the Inner Rim that could be mistaken for a planet-sized space station at first glance and is inhabited by many mechanical lifeforms that, unlike droids, are just as connected to the Force as any other organic being.

The Matoki are Aut Matok's dominant sapient species. While relatively isolationist due to millennia of outside anti-droid prejudice, they've kept tabs on the galaxy at large and gained information outside their world due to tapping into the HoloNet (which they simply call "the Network") in the hope that they leave their world someday. However, some Matoki choose to abstain from tapping into the Network for a number of reasons.

However, this ended up becoming a problem when the Forceless Collective invaded Aut Matok, as they decided to use its many mechanical lifeforms as a testbed for a computer virus that can possess artificial intelligence like the symbiotes can possess organics; and this allowed them to send this virus over the HoloNet. Having been forced to flee Aut Matok's capital for a Network-abstinent village, Medil leads a resistance against the Collective, but being forced to kill their own people has been taking a toll on Medil's sense of morality. Medil is also a trained Flight Armor (transforming mechs that change between humanoid and fighter form) pilot and the captain of the Kingdom's Violet Squadron. Their father, King Auskuth, is mildly Force-sensitive and has received visions of aid from Jedi.
