● ● ● CANON UPDATES
ICly, whoever is in charge of bringing the characters to the station decides that you’ll be a better asset to the team with new memories, hence they return you back to your world to get new experience and then whisk you back to fulfill your contract.
Please note that new canon needs to be at least a month old in order to canon update to it.

CANON UPDATE FORM:
no subject
CHARACTER: Cal Kestis.
CANON: Star Wars.
PREVIOUS CANON POINT: End of Jedi: Fallen Order, after destroying Edo Cordova's Holocron.
NEW CANON POINT: End of the mission to Nova Garon in Jedi: Survivor, which takes place five years after the end of Jedi: Fallen Order.
CHANGES: When Cal is pulled back to the Ximilia, it's right after resists the call of the Dark Side and does not kill an Imperial Chief Supervisor out of rage.
Cal Kestis has been through some things. During the past five years, he's split up with the crew of the Mantis as their goals drastically shifted. Wanting to continue to take down the Empire for what they did to the Jedi Order, Cal spent his time working with the famous revolutionary Saw Gerrera and other insurgents to undermine Empire bases, assisting to set up some (failed) coups, and getting his face plastered over various planets as a major public enemy. Cal's seen the reality of what fighting the Empire brings. He's lived with what it means to be a leader that's trusted, has lead people to their deaths. Five years in, Cal sees the cost of fighting for what one believes in and radicalising people to a movement. While has seen the cost, he hasn't been able to stop either. He’s thrown himself head first into the idea that he has to keep fighting so the sacrifices people made for him to survive mean something. The only problem is the sacrifices keep piling up.
While Cal's saddled with guilt, he's still capable of being very hopeful. He sees that, despite the pain, hope remains as long as the fight goes on. He has recently allowed himself to believe that there's more to life than fighting for past and the Jedi Order of old; there's fighting for a future. And that future? He’s found a group looking to hide Force Sensitives from the Empire.
Some of the anger he's feeling now that has him grappling with the Dark Side stems from a fear of losing the future and sliver of safety for Force Sensitives that feels finally within grasp. Part of it is much more personal; Cal wants to keep the people he loves safe -- them being threatened, hurt, or nearly killed leaves him seeing red.
That said, Cal isn’t reaching for the Dark Side as something that’ll make him stronger. He is overwhelmed by his emotions and pulled to it in those moments, but outside of them he doesn’t want to give in and finds he's afraid of what the future holds because he doesn't know if can handle the loss that may lay ahead. There are opportunities on the Ximilia to make connections that ground him in who he is in the Light and to learn to control his emotions which is what I want to dig into with this canon update.
While he’s not in a great place mentally, the powers that be have seen that Cal's a whole lot stronger and more confident in his Force abilities. And the skills he's picked up being a revolutionary are definitely a benefit on tumultuous planets. He's mastered a few new skills on top of his established powers with the Force: calming and controlling large animals to fight by his side, Jedi mind tricks to control or confuse groups of enemies temporarily, using the Force to be able to jump 20 feet (the furthest a normal human can jump with a running start is roughly 10 feet), mastering shooting a blaster, and also becoming a pretty good pilot.
Cal will return dressed in an Imperial Officer's uniform with his own lightsaber, a blaster gun and a scrapper's ascension cable, which he can use as a grappling hook to ascend or descend a max of 20 feet at a time.
