Someone makes a bad mistake finding her deep in Republic space- in the Republic Fleet, no less. She's worth a lot of credits for bounty if she is turned in, or so the fool thinks. No one in the Fleet suspects she is Sith. The Sith are dead, right?

Stupid Devoraronian, doesn't he know that the Sith do not hesitate to shoot first?

She had left home to pose as near human of unknown genetics to enter the Republic Fleet, as pilot, to fight against the Mandalorians, and finds herself assigned to Carth Onasi's squadron.
