Witchblade

Biography

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 he 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were killed by a disgruntled casino patron as part of a debt collection that went wrong, this led to her becoming withdrawn and spending time living with extended family, some of whom held positions in planetary import and export community.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.

Personal Fighter

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.
