Legend

this dark-skinned woman, a native of the planet Ingo, joined Wraith Squadron shortly before they were assigned by the New Republic to hunt down Warlord Zsinj. She was the younger sister of Vula Nelprin, and was also personally trained by her father in hand-to-hand combat. Her father, an irascible man, had faked his own death in order to avoid Imperial entanglements and led to Ingo to raise his family. She used this skill to help the Wraiths become better ground agents, especially in preparation for their activities against Warlord Zsinj. She was assigned the position of Wraith Ten serving as Myn Donos' wingman, after the losses of Eurssk Thri'ag and Falynn Sandskimmer. She assumed the identity of Qatya Nassin as part of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, and was supposedly killed in action during Warlord Zsinj's attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss, In actuality, she commandeered a TIE Interceptor and landed atop the Razor's Kiss's shield generator platform. Once the New Republic forces were arrayed in a constraining pattern, Shalla destroyed one of the Super-class Star Destroyer's shields. Voort saBinring knocked out the other, and the Razor's Kiss was destroyed by the Republic's forces. For her part in this and other missions, Shalla was promoted to Lieutenant following the battle over Kuat.
