Legend

this Alliance doctor was trained in the art of medicine at the Byblos Academy of Medicine, where she was taught to "first, do no harm." She was a native of Coruscant, whose parents were supporters of the Old Republic. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power, their fortunes changed dramatically, and Aurin decided she wanted nothing to do with politics. After her training, she served at the University Faculty Medical Center on Ralltiir, where she first heard of the Alliance from a friend who survived an Imperial interrogation. Her own beliefs and feelings were dedicated mainly to helping the sick, and she grew frustrated at the Empire's bureaucracy surrounding everything she did. After joining the Alliance, Aurin was assigned to the crew of the Pharos. When she was assigned to the assault team that went to Selnesh to liberate Gebnerret Vibrion, she found that her training came into conflict with her duties. Commander Briessen told Aurin that, if she couldn't rescue Vibrion, then she would have to administer a fatal dosage of medicine to keep Virbion's knowledge a secret. Vibrion went along, as part of Lieutenant Haslam's team, with the expectation that she would recover Vibrion alive. While he succeeded in this part of the mission, he was forced to shoot and kill an Imperial stormtrooper who got between them and their escape ship. She received the Field Achievement Award, but felt that she'd violated her sacred oath to her profession.
