Legend

this woman, a native of Coruscant and the daughter of two Imperial Intelligence agents, was lithely built and distinguished by a beauty mark on her right cheek. Her parents groomed her to become an Intelligence agent herself, but they were arrested for an unspecified crime when she was old enough to hate them and miss them at the same time. Since the Empire had been her life, she joined the Intelligence agency and rose quickly through the ranks She spent a good deal of time in the guide of Chyan Mezzine, a New Republic Naval officer. Later, as one of the code slicers who worked on the Morrt droid deployment project, she was able to provide the Republic with the false information that led to the destruction of Talon Squadron. She also discovered the New Republic's base on Folor, but actually found the false beacons placed on the opposite side of the moon. This allowed the starfighters to scramble and get away before Trigit could attack. During the destruction of Trigit's command ship, the Implacable, Petothel used her slicing skills to gain entrance to Trigit's personal escape pods to flee the ship before it could take her with it. After escaping, she wondered at the reasons the Empire would condone the actions of a man like Trigit, who would willingly sacrifice his entire crew for a mission's outcome, especially if retreat would mean the chance to fight another day. After returning to Coruscant, she assumed the identity of Lara Notsil, which involved dyeing and cutting her hair as well as removing her birthmark. As Lara, she eventually gained a place in Wraith Squadron. The part of her that was still Gara wanted to use her new position to gain her a place with Warlord Zsinj, but after seeing the New Republic's actions from the other side, she decided to remain as Lara and break off all ties with the Empire. However, she re-used the Gara Petothel identity after she was exposed by Garik Loran's investigations and fled the Wraiths, in order to gain access to Zsinj and the Iron Fist. She claimed to be working for the Empire again, but instead managed to severely disable the Iron Fist before fleeing to Corellia and adopting the identity of Kirney Slane.
