BIOGRAPHY:
Lady Shambleau is a Dark Jedi operative of Ke'dem. A Force-sensitive, she was one of many Ke'dem recruits who were selected due to losses and collateral damage inflicted by the One Sith over the past years. Her grudge against the One Sith is significant. She participated in the anti-Sith raids on Crina, Erida, Mayferria, and Lujo. On Lujo, she faced the full power of Spencer Varanin's Force horror. She survived and escaped, barely, but the experience forced her to reevaluate her life. Her focus shifted from a youthful, gleeful, cathartic sort of rage to a more focused approach toward the extermination of the Sith.

In the aftermath of Ashin Varanin's death, Lady [member="Ajira Cardei"] of Theed reached out to her as a secret associate of Varanin. Together with [member="Seren Ordavo"], and with Cardei's guidance, Shambleau brought Ke'dem to heel and smoothed their transition toward a closer association with Clan Rekali. However, Shambleau had no interest in the Witch/Mandalorian clan.

She now serves as Cardei's agent and messenger. A longtime aide within Theed Hangar, she has the seniority to command a patrol fleet.

SHIP:

• A Santhe Challenger.

The Force and Lady Shambleau

Shambleau has a well-rounded skillset and a firm grasp of the Core Powers. Unlike her employer, she is not a devoted specialist in any particular direction. However, she has picked up a few notable abilities along the way.

• Shambleau is quite good at hiding her Force presence or scattering it to obscure her exact location.
• Shambleau, as a Ke'dem member, is quite good at Force shields, including adiabatic shields.
• By exploring the wreck of an ancient Pius Dea cathedral ship, Shambleau discovered scrolls on the infliction of pain and the creation of Force Shadows. Appreciating these techniques' elegance, Shambleau studied the scrolls at length, and has used them in combat.
• On more than one occasion, Shambleau has experienced overwhelming mental attacks and infiltrations, and has given away secrets. This has led her to practice mental defense and seek related training from [member="Spencer Varanin"].

Mikan Information

Wookieepedia:

The Mikans were creatures native to Jellyfish Cove. They took the form of beautiful near-Human women with pink skin and pure-white eyes; however, once they had attracted someone to them, they turned into huge jellyfish-like creatures and consumed their targets. They could only come out in night or on foggy days, as when the sun came out, the light reacted with their tissue and froze them into statue-like rocks. Bara was a Mikan.

Jellyfish Cove was an Imperial prison on the asteroid Mika. Garve and Dando were two of the guards posted there.

Dando was a mercenary hired by the Galactic Empire to oversee Jellyfish Cove. He was killed by Bara, who used his uniform to walk in daylight.

StarWars.com:

Mikans have perfected their shapeshifting ability to the point where they can transform into a human shape. These beings from Mika (or “Jellyfish Cove”), in the Arkanis Sector, resemble purple jellyfish in their natural form, but use the human disguise to lure targets, usually as beautiful women. Their liquid tissue solidifies upon contact with sunlight, so they are only active during the night. There are no stories of Mikans ever taking on other shapes, but then again, encounters are usually fatal.
