Arissa Kiiko

Biography
An unusual pair to say the least, but not the strangest pair would fall in love and produce a single daughter. A Royal Guard, dispatched to serve as protector one of Emperor Palpatine favorite Moffs, would meet and have a short but torrid affair with a Firrerreon refugee. After his tour was over, the Guard was retired from active service. The man took his infant daughter and would return to Thyrsus, where Arissa would be brought up steeped in the Echani culture.

A Royal Guard never truly retires however, and with the death of the Emperor in the skies over Endor, Arissa’s father would return to service. Thus he left behind the fifteen year old girl, in the care of her uncle. What would become of him remains unknown even now, though Arissa would follow her father in Imperial service in search of answers.

The Empire was in a state of shock, and the recruiting flood gates would be open to those deemed less then ideal in the era of Palpatine. Basic Training was a breeze for the Echani warrior; a life time on Thyrsus had already blessed her with the physical conditioning and mental stamina that was required of an Imperial Solider. Immediately after boot camp, she was sent through Officer Candidate School (OCS). She graduated second in her class a feat many thought impossible of a woman, much less a woman that was not fully human. After Graduation form OCS in 7 ABY as a 2nd lieutenant she was given command of scout platoon and would see action on numerous worlds.

It wasn’t until 8 ABY her unit would see major action in the battle of Tatoonie. It would come in a loosing effort, but the action would not only earn her a promotion to 1st lieutenant, but put her on the radar of the very people that would hold her fate in their hands.
