    Major Story Arcs

    Force Unleashed

    When Starkiller was allowed by Vader to begin assassinating Jedi survivors of Order 66, PROXY accompanied him. Together with the pilot Juno Eclipse they traveled to various worlds in order to kill the Jedi located there. After the death of Shaak Ti at Starkiller's hands, Vader ordered Starkiller - and by extension PROXY and Juno - to return to Vader so they could kill the Emperor.

    It turned out, however, to be a trap. Palpatine knew of Starkiller and used PROXY to represent him when he made Vader kill his apprentice and throw him out of a window using the Force.

    In order to save his apprentice, Vader sent out droids to retrieve Starkiller from the void of space and reconstruct him. Starkiller awoke six months later on Vader's research ship: The Empirical. Starkiller was ordered to start a rebellion in order to help them overthrow the Emperor. PROXY set a course for the Empirical into a nearby star shortly before PROXY escaped with Starkiller and Juno Eclipse.

    During their attempts to start a rebellion, PROXY, Starkiller, Juno and Rahm Kota visited Raxus Prime, PROXY was briefly corrupted by Raxus Prime's hive mind and decided to attack Starkiller. Despite utilizing a combat module he had never used against Starkiller before in the form of Darth Maul, PROXY still lost and became severely damaged. After the fight, his connection to Raxus Prime was severed and his primary programming lost, resulting in him no longer having to try to kill Starkiller.

    The three managed to successfully start the Rebellion with the aid of Bail Organa and his adoptive daughter Leia. However, at the start of the first meeting, the Empire attacked with Vader commanding. As Vader attacked Starkiller, PROXY tried to stop him but was seemingly killed by Vader.

    After Juno and the Rebel leaders escaped thanks to Starkiller's sacrifice, Juno retrieved PROXY and repaired him. For a while a glitch occurred, causing him to only be able to look like Starkiller, causing Juno much grief. This glitch was eventually fixed.

    Force Unleashed II

    PROXY was accompanying Juno Eclipse on the Alliance ship under her command when the Empire attacked. Boba Fett raided the control room and took Juno, PROXY was shot but quickly recovered.

    In an attempt to strike back at the Empire, the Rebels attacked Kamino. During the assault, PROXY accompanied Rahm Kota and a squadron if his troops. During a confrontation with Boba Fett, PROXY was able to defeat him using a Jango Fett combat module, this confused Fett and made him hesitate giving PROXY the upper hand. However, Fett was able to use a sonic disruptor and escape.

    After Juno was Force pushed out of a window by Darth Vader, PROXY attempted to revive her but without success. Despite this, when Starkiller went to hold Juno in his arms she woke up.

    Powers and Abilities

    As a hologram droid, PROXY is able to take on the appearance of any humanoid. PROXY can then choose a combat module to fit the appearance. For instance, if he makes himself appear as a Jedi, he can mimic their fighting style. PROXY created multiple combat modules using data found in the Imperial database, however, it is rare for PROXY's modules to be as skilled as the person he is mimicking. PROXY can also use repulsors and tractor beams to mimic Force telekinesis when using Force sensitive modules.

    The overthrow of the Republic is complete. The Separatist forces have been smashed, the Jedi Council nearly decimated, and the rest of the Order all but destroyed. Now absolute power rests in the iron fist of Darth Sidious–the cunning Sith Lord better known as the former Senator, now Emperor, Palpatine. But more remains to be done. Pockets of resistance in the galaxy must still be defeated and missing Jedi accounted for...and dealt with. These crucial tasks fall to the Emperor’s ruthless enforcer, Darth Vader. In turn, the Dark Lord has groomed a lethal apprentice entrusted with a top-secret mission: to comb the galaxy and dispatch the last of his masters’ enemies, thereby punctuating the dark side’s victory with the Jedi’s doom.

    Since childhood, Vader's nameless agent has known only the cold, mercenary creed of the Sith. His past is a void; his present, the carrying out of his deadly orders. But his future beckons like a glistening black jewel with the ultimate promise: to stand beside the only father he has ever known, with the galaxy at their feet. It is a destiny he can realize only by rising to the greatest challenge of his discipleship: destroying Emperor Palpatine.

    The apprentice’s journeys will take him across the far reaches of the galaxy, from the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk to the junkyard planet of Raxus Prime. On these missions, the young Sith acolyte will forge an unlikely alliance with a ruined Jedi Master seeking redemption and wrestle with forbidden feelings for his beautiful comrade, Juno Eclipse. And he will be tested as never before–by shattering revelations that strike at the very heart of all he believes and stir within him long-forgotten hopes of reclaiming his name...and changing his destiny.

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    No Caption Provided

    As ruthless apprentice to Darth Vader, Starkiller was mercilessly schooled in the ways of the dark side, commanded to exterminate the last of the purged Jedi Order, and groomed for the ultimate Sith power play: assassination of the Emperor. He served without question, killed without remorse, and lost his heart without warning to beautiful Imperial fighter pilot Juno Eclipse, never suspecting that he was just a tool in the schemes of his masters—until it was too late to escape their lethal betrayal.

    Juno mourned Starkiller as dead...but now he is back, purged of all memories and programmed to kill. And as fate brings Juno and Starkiller closer to reuniting, with Darth Vader determined not to lose his assassin a second time, they will both have to make a stand. The prize is freedom. The punishment for failing will be eternal enslavement to the dark side of the Force...
