Aima
As a child on Eshan, Aima loved listening to her father sing folk-hymns about ancient echanian heroes. The haunting melodies transported her to a long-forgotten time, when good won over evil. When love was more powerful than hate. Yet, the Sith, seemed to disprove those memories. They conquered more and more worlds, disrupting the force and the balance in the galaxy.
Aima watched in frustration as, time and again, Sith's army swiftly conquered more worlds. Most disturbing, Sith had discovered the secrets of dark force and use them expand their empire.
Even though Aima and others like her urged her people to join the fight, the Echani instead only helped protect the republic. They tried to negotiate with the Sith, but would not protect the outer worlds.
Thus, Aima became a freedom fighter. The time for negotiation was over. Aima was determined to use her lethal skills to defend the outer planets. She attacked some of the most fortified strongholds and left a trail of bodies in her wake, she earned the nickname “White Death”. Her dedication to the cause was unmatched, as she focused only on the next mission, and the next step toward freedom for these worlds. Though she cherished her rebel allies, she usually acted alone, believing she could do the job better than any other.
But then she would meet a smuggler, who would change her life forever.
Present Day of Kessel
Aima had her doubts about her latest plan as she walked toward the local bar, P2-08. It was just before 1 am in the morning, a light rain was falling. She wore a rain poncho that kept her dry and safe. Safe, because Kesselstone was mined on the planet Kessel. Kesselstone was ground into powder, which was then used by criminals to create a powerful narcotic. The mining operations released toxins into Kessel's atmosphere. The rain brought the toxin back to the surface of the planet.
This rain made the northern hemisphere of Kessel barren. No mining was permitted in the southern hemisphere of the planet and it remained a lush reminder of what the planet should look like.
The bar, P2-08, was a dump. Amia thought it was a stupid name too, "Pee-too or ate". But the place did have good drinks, and food you could keep down. That was a plus. She entered the bar and looked around.
The counter was greasy and the floor had not been swept in days, maybe all week. Old papers, empty glasses, half eaten food littered the tables. The few people in the place were drowning themselves in alcohol. A couple of pilots... or smugglers, were talking about business in hushed tones in one corner.
She ordered a glass Corellian rum and made her way to a dark corner. She cleaned off the table, moving the dirty glasses to another table and took a seat. She removed her rain poncho, but continued to wear a hooded cloak. She was carrying a combat knife, laser blaster and her light saber. The thick cloak covered all of her weapons. Display of weapons on Kessel was not illegal, but her light saber was a problem. The Sith hunted down anyone using that weapon.
“I hope this smuggler is not a piece of shit.” Amia whispered to herself as she popped open her comlink and looked for messages. She found nothing. Then the door to P2-08 opened, letting in rain, wind, and a few scraps of discarded newspaper and ….
