"Why did you join the Rebellion? Why do you fight the emperor?" "My parents were killed by the Empire. They refused to give up their land. So they were killed."

She swore to avenge her parents and managed to blow up the governor's landspeeder. She also attempted to blow up his house, but was captured and imprisoned. Eventually, she was liberated by the local underground Rebel cell.
