Legend

this tall, slender woman was a Captain in the Alliance military, and was the leader of the Harrier infiltration team. She was also a young Jedi in training. Fable was one of youngest beings ever appointed the rank of Captain, and at the age of 19 was also one of the youngest infiltration operatives. Her mother had been a Jedi Knight, and instructed Fable's father in its uses. When Fable's father was killed in a struggle with one of the Emperor's Inquisitors, Fable and her mother were forced to flee and hide from Palpatine's reach. Despite her military training and sensitivity to the Force, Fable was also easily distracted and moody. After her team suffered a loss during a mission to Nysza III, Fable was faced with the Dark Side of the Force in a confrontation with the Dark Jedi Vialco, who was guarding the Imperial communications bunker she was ordered to destroy. The bunker was taken out, but Vialco soundly defeated Fable in a short battle of wills. Later, in a chance encounter on the planet Iscera, Fable met Jaalib Brandl, and followed him back to Trulalis. There, she was introduced to Adalric Brandl, Jaalib's father, and was given instruction in the deeper use of the Force to help her defeat Vialco. Despite the needs of Harrier Team, Fable remained on Trulalis for many months, striving too hard and making more mistakes than she thought she was capable of making. During her training, Fable fell in love with Jaalib, a relationship that Adalric forbade. He sent Jaalib back to Iscera and called Vialco to Trulalis, provoking a battle that renewed their aggressions. She was unaware of Adalric's true intentions until she had defeated Vialco and refused to kill him outright. Adalric prodded her, then sent an image into her mind - that of Vialco recovering his lightsaber and lunging toward her. She spun her own lightsaber around and decapitated Vialco, only to snap out of the vision and realize that Vialco had never recovered the weapon. Adalric then imprisoned her, hoping to return her to the planet Byss as a gift to the Emperor.
