Autumn
When I first left my people and entered the galaxy, it was for vengeance. My people were attacked by force wielders before the war, men and women alike who used lightsabers. In my search for vengeance I left what little I had behind to seek out those who had brought pain and misery to my people. I was a woman who had nothing. At least that fact hasn't changed.
I wandered the galaxy for a time, learning the ways of the galaxy and learning what I could of those that had wronged my people. However it proved that the blame could potentially rest on either the Jedi Knights or their dark cousins. Over time I came to terms with my grief and my loss, and turned away from revenge. It was looking after a strange Taen child that saved me - Elliot.
In my youth, on my homeworld of Tae'Sha, I had spent much time working around and with our starships, large and primitive compared to those seen in the rest of the galaxy, though my unique perspective on design proved useful for the now defunct Jade Galactic, where I worked to provide food and shelter for the boy and myself, rising quickly to become head of starship design. Such peace was short lived, however. Jade Galactic soon rose in power and their ambitions became too great. I fled as the entire company was declared an enemy to the Republic, taking what little we could back towards the Core Worlds. Elliot I left to what I hoped would be a better fate. I haven't seen him since.
There was little work in privateer starship design, so I looked elsewhere into new channels. The answer seemed to lie in the Republic Navy. Worn down by the so-far grim outcome of the war, the Republic was desperately short of experienced naval officers. Though I had limited experience in fleet command, my unique expertise on ship design as well as my other...native talents, proved their own worth, at least enough to be considered.
All things considered, it's not exactly how I planned my life out, but it's a start.
