Legend

this strikingly beautiful woman was a courier and smuggler working for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. She grew up as a Navy brat, since both of her parents worked as TIE Fighter maintenance techs for the Empire. Sapphire was going to join the Imperial Academy when an explosion in a fighter bay killed her parents. The cause of the explosion was discovered to be the carelessness of Lieutenant Tizzin, the new officer at the base, but his family ties kept him in command. Sapphire's parents were blamed for the explosion, and she has hated the Empire ever since. She vowed to hunt down Tizzin and exact revenge on him. She joined the Alliance short after the deaths of her parents, and ran several smuggling runs with Kevas Startron. When she completed a major run for him, but kept her role in the job a secret, he bequeathed her his starship, the New Cov Quasar. She later renamed the ship to be the Sapphire's Gem.
