BIOGRAPHY:
Kara Runo was born in the mid rim; Kara Runo was born in space; her home world was that of a windy plateau like planet where the people had Growing up she lived a life of constant travelling. From one town to the next they often had to use shuttles and small freighters. Since her father and mother were traders she spent a lot of her youth travelling the planet and a few of the mid rim worlds. Since she was little she would always run off and hang around spacers that raveled to and from the outer rim and beyond. Growing up with dreams of one day becoming the proud owner of a freighter and exploring the galaxy. One fateful day, while her parents decided to stay planetside for a month before joining an outgoing caravan, Kara discovered an old imperial sentinel class shuttle in a junk yard. Whenever Kara and her family returned home she would visit the junkyards for interesting parts and tinker with things. She spent every day working on it. Learning the technical details and figuring out the layout of the ship. As the end of the month approached she had managed to get it the shuttle working. She decided to try and fly it herself a few times before coming home to her family. Her parents were proud and impressed with her. They wanted to send her to an academy in the core to become a pilot in the republic.
She had never considered joining the military or any civilian company for that matter as a pilot. In fact all Kara wanted was to stay with the family and help with the business.
A republic cruiser one day appeared in orbit and a few recruiters came planet side. Her parents pressed her to talk to them and so not wanting to disappoint she gave in and asked what her options were. She displayed to the recruiters what she had done and her piloting skills.
A raiding party of mandolarians struck during her practice trials. The republic forces fled in the face of such a sudden and daring attack. In the collateral damage the spaceport had been ruined by the mandolarians. Her parents were killed by turborlaser fire.
Hatred grew in her heart for both the republic and the mandolarians… She spent several years wandering the void. Traveling the same routes her mother and father took her on. She didn’t trust the republic and certainly would tangle with a mandolarian or too when given the opportunity. Revenge was the only thing on her mind but over time and through much sorrow she realized she couldn’t do anything on her own. Upon hearing the formation of a new faction of Imperials calling themselves the Imperial Remnant. The idea of instilling order and peace to the galaxy wasn’t any different from a lot of the other factions out there. However the IR gave her an opportunity to gain potential power and maybe one day authority to get her revenge.
Kara spoke with some Imperial recruiters and managed to get a commissioning as an Ensign. She was able to keep her old sentinel shuttle and joined into the Imperial Navy. Initially she didn’t stand out much in the initial stages of reviving the old Imperial Empire. The liberation of Crina she managed to at least get cited for bravery after she made several harrowing strafing runs and dropped off some storm troopers straight into the frontlines. After that Kara ended up getting assigned to piloting a movable ground station onto Kalee. That where met Lt. Commander Flavian and ended up having a one night stand after a night of drinking too much. Before they were rotated off the planet he asked her if she would like to be his adjutant. Seeing the opportunity to get recognition that could lead to the path of exacting revenge she took him up on the offer. Unfortunately something she hadn’t planned on was having fraternized could end up being something that could hinder her down the line…
Now she spends most of her days chauffeuring the Lt. Commander from the front lines to the capital planet and where ever else he needed to go…
One day though she would make both the republic and the mandolarians pay a price steeped deep in blood for their transgressions…
