Templeton, once a member of the Imperial Senate holding the title of Senator, found himself banished to Captivity, a moon serving as a prison, by order of the Galactic Empire. He then integrated into the group under the leadership of [Dedelin], an ex-captain from the Imperial Navy. Ultimately, agents of the Alliance to Restore the Republic orchestrated Templeton's liberation. He and Farazzish were the only two senators still living on the planet, having been incarcerated before the Alliance became prominent. The prospect of a coordinated rebellion against the Empire thrilled the one-time Senator.
