Sage, Vana
this woman was a Naboo expatriate who roamed the galaxy as a hired gun. Originally born on Alderaan, Vana left home at fifteen and worked for a number of bounty hunters before she ended up on Naboo. There, she joined the Royal Security Force, but was frustrated with the pacifism and naivete' of the Naboo military. After being rebuffed in her request for additional military build-up, Vana left the RSF and struck out on her own as a mercenary for hire. She flew in a starship she named the Guardian Mantis, and was soon employed by the Trade Federation as a bounty hunter. She was known to have captured the Feeorin pirate Nym, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. When the Federation blockaded Naboo, Vana began to question whether her alliance with the Federation was going to work out in her favor. She eventually returned to legitimate service with the Naboo Royal Security Force.
