I'll think of something...
Phaineve Halseigh
A.K.A Ladybird
Faction:
Galactic Alliance
Affiliation:
Galactic Alliance - SIA - Task Force Ysalamari
Rank: Captain
Occupation: Dropship Pilot
Species: Human - Corellian Variant
Age: 37
Sex: Female
Height: 5’5”
Eyes: Black
Hair:
Skin: Pale Ivory
Force Sensitive: Nope
Strengths:
Mechanically Minded: As the spaceborn daughter of two shipbuilders, it was only natural that Phaineve learned her way around starship systems.
An Experienced Pilot: “Listen, fellas, you’re looking at generations of pilots’ DNA crammed into the mind of one person.”
Weaknesses:
“D-d-dogfights?”: Combat was hardly required as an element of Phaineve’s early life; and as a shuttle pilot, she learned simply to run from eruptions of fierce dogfights.
“Erm, I throw switches, not fists”: While Phaineve could potentially hold her own in a conflict between starships, her hand-to-hand abilities are severely limited, and her talent with a blaster is sub-par at best.

Biography:
SpaceBorn Beginnings:
Corellia’s finest were once known to originate from its metallic surface; the likes of pilots, mechanics, engineers. But while Phaineve would follow in the footsteps of these greats, she started far from Corellia’s industrial grounds and in the confines of a bustling orbital shipyard. It was this rare origin that sparked an early fascination with the stars and the vessels that traversed them in the young spacer.
Far Beyond the Stars:
It was with her parents’ blessing that years of study and of practical training that Phaineve crossed the greatest threshold in her life. At eighteen years old, the cargo freighter Alrin Greenheart set off from the bounds of Corellian space and began its long journey with Phaineve as its helmsman. For years, she’d made a name for herself with the long-coveted occupation, guiding the Greenheart on endless amounts of transport runs throughout Alliance space.
When suddenly, the galaxy began to burn around her.
Collapse:
“I must have been… twenty, maybe twenty two when the news came out. Don’t really think I believed anything at first...”
Throughout the corridors of the Alrin Greenheart, holonet news broadcasts lit up with word that the Galactic Alliance had fallen and that, with it, Corellia had been overwhelmed by the Sith Empire. There would be no going back, not in the near future. The decision was made among the Greenheart’s senior staff that the freighter would adjust its course for whatever remained of the once great government.
Silently, Phaineve would make the vow to return. And return she did.
Return to Corellia:
After painstaking years of repelling the Sith’s conquests, the eyes of Alliance forces finally turned toward Corellia-- the weathered and broken planet that only by strength of its people remained standing throughout the occupation.
“All of a sudden, freighters became weapons of war, shuttles became combat dropships.”
In the deadly liberation of Corellia, Phaineve was tasked with piloting one of the Greenheart’s transport shuttles-- now adopting the role of a troop-carrier-- through the planet’s atmosphere to deliver Alliance soldiers to the ground. And after a life-changing struggle through fields of flak and plasma, the shuttle’s landing pylons hit the ground. In time, they would lift off from the newly-liberated surface of Corellia.
Aftermath:
When fractured remnants at last banded together to form a renewed Galactic Alliance, thousands upon thousands of questions were left to deliberation. For Phaineve, chief among these queries would be her next moves. Though the Greenheart remained aloft after the long conflict, she soon found Alliance recruiters offering her a role in the emerging Galactic Alliance Defense Force for her efforts above Corellia.
“. . . but, the Sith were still out there…”
With the same amount of mental clarity that had begun her journey through the stars, Phaineve took the Alliance up on its offer.
