Biography
Juno was born on Corulag, and became the youngest cadet to be accepted into the Imperial Academy at age fourteen. Juno quickly excelled in starship repair and became a talented combat pilot. She also perfected her skills in droid maintenance and marksmanship.
After graduating, Juno flew many successful combat missions throughout the Outer Rim; bringing the admiration of her peers and commanding officers. Through quick promotions, she eventually gained control of Black Squadron. After proving her loyalty during the Battle of Callos, Darth Vader prompted her to pilot the Rogue Shadow, a secret ship used to transport Vader's apprentice. However, she was unaware of Vader's apprentice's mission and was under the assumption of him being one of Vader's spies. During the pair's journey, Eclipse's conscience would play a role in the fate of the galaxy.
