Legend

this strikingly beautiful young woman was one of the galaxy's most famous smugglers. Platt was the daughter of parents who were members of one of Brentaal's more prominent trading houses. She was supposed to attend the commerce academy and learn about the family business, but the idea of being a stuffy businesswoman didn't appeal to her. After several boring years at school, she packed her meager belongings and hitched a ride aboard the Starlite Cloud. After two years on the Starlite Cloud, she crewed on the Ravelev for two years before joining the Klatooinan Trade Guild as a pilot. She owned the YT-1300 known as the Last Chance. Early in her career, Platt was captured and enslaved by Big Quince. A chance meeting with a fellow slave named Tru'eb Cholakk brought her a chance for escape. The two plotted against Big Quince, eventually stealing his personal shuttle and escaping captivity. Platt later repaid Tru'eb for his help, and the two developed a strong friendship. Platt often worked for the Alliance and the New Republic, but was by no means allied with them. She and Tru'eb often worked alone, although they often hired additional help as needs demanded. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, they teamed up with Dirk Harkness while working on Zelos II, when they became aware of the Imperial presence on the planet. They tipped off the New Republic to the location of the garrison, and Harkness went in to ensure the base was cleared out. However, the Republic's team was wiped out and Harkness was captured. Platt and Tru'eb both believed Harkness was worth rescuing, so they infiltrated the garrison and rescue him, along with Jai Raventhorn.
