Biography[edit]
Witchblade had a wandering upbringing. She was born on Ord Mantell, in the city of Wolport in 0 ABY. Her parents at the time were employed by the Lady Fate Casino, a well known entertainment facility in the Government Circle district. Like many children of casino employees she attended the Worlport Academy where she did her best to blend it with the crowd and not draw much attention to herself.
At the age of 16 her parents were killed by a disgruntled casino patron as part of a debt collection that went wrong, this led to her becoming withdrawn and spending time living with extended family, some of whom held positions in planetary import and export community. This connection helped Witchblade to gain a position off world at the age of 16, training as a navigator and sometime pilot aboard a freighter for Wolport Import and Trading Co (WITCo). WITCo primarily operated a fleet of run down and used freighters that were perpetually one jump away from a overhaul at the best of times.
However, by the age of 25 she'd climbed the ranks and was piloting her own freighter within the WITCo group but was quickly becoming jaded by the confines of the corporate world and the lack of a visible future.
A chance encounter with a EH patrol from Battlegroup I during one of her cargo runs led to her leaving WITCo to join the Empire and earning a commission in the Emperor's Hammer.
Her first posting upon completing basic training was to the ISD-II Hammer where she joined Beta Squadron and served under a number of different Squadron Commanders before climbing up the ranks to Squadron XO.
Character[edit]
To Witchblade the galaxy was a vast and indifferent place, it was a never-ending expanse of conflict, credits, and betrayal. As she was raised in amongst the shadows of casino lights, sabaac tables and spacer docks she never truly bought into the idea of destiny or grand causes that run like a red thread through the books she reads.
The galaxy didn’t hand out fairness, it dealt in odds, and the house almost always ended up the winner in this game…
This point of view that took root during her early years shaped how she approached life: with caution, calculation, and a sharp sense of self-preservation. Trust was a kind of currency to be earned and showed more volatility than the most dangerous explosive.
Yet, within the confines of the Emperor’s Hammer, she found structure, a kind of order in the chaos that brought meaning to it all. Military life provided clarity of purpose with defined goals, and just enough flexibility to keep her edge.
Flying; particularly in the simulators found aboard the Hammer and squad tactical training, became more than just recreation. It was a way to refine instincts, outwit others, and test herself. Whether it was training sims, time at the sabacc table with her peers, or piloting her Spectre Advanced Missile Boat into combat to smite the enemies of the Empire, Witchblade thrived in environments where thinking three steps ahead meant survival.
She didn’t fight for the glory, she fought to understand her opponent. Every move, every bluff, every risk was insight and, in a galaxy spinning out of control, understanding the game of war was the best way to stay alive.
TIE Corps[edit]
Witchblade is the current Squadron Commander of Alpha Squadron, assigned to Wing I aboard the current TIE Corps Flagship, the ISDII Hammer.
She has held this position since Alpha Squadron was reactivated in January 2024.
Her previous postings include:
- Squadron XO of Gamma Squadron
- Commander of Gamma Squadron from its reactivation on 27 July 2022 through to 19 October 2023 when she became the Squadron XO.
- Prior to this tour of duty Witchblade served as the Executive Officer of Beta Squadron which is another squadron in Wing I, which she joined in the summer of 2020.
Personal Fighter[edit]
Witchblade currently flies a Spectre Advanced Missile Boat as part of Alpha Squadrons Flight One. However her personal fighter is a TIE Interceptor that is commonly found in the ISD-II Hammer officer hangar. This fighter tends the be flown only for training purposes these days, but is a constant reminder of the need to be agile thanks to its lack of shields.
