Legend

this woman was a Mission Commander with the Galactic Scout Corps, some forty years before the Battle of Yavin. She was believed to have been killed on an uncharted jungle planet, when one of her team - Milac Troper - returned to report that she was killed. In fact, Kev and her Lieutenant, Hereven, had been attacked by a gasnit, and Troper had left them to die, fleeing in panic. Hereven had tried to rescue her, and both scouts ended up hiding for more than six months in the caves located beneath the planet's surface. Kev and Hereven soon fell in love, but Hereven was killed during a hunting mission. A few days later, Dayla discovered that she was pregnant with Hereven's child. Upon giving birth to the boy, Dayla named him Hereven in honor of his father. They lived together in hiding for fifteen years, and discovered that they had a connection to the Force. They were rescued by a group of Wookiee explorers, who tried to sell them into slavery. Using subtle manipulations of the Force, Dayla was able to convince the Wookiees to let them go free. Instead, she convinced the Wookiees to join her in forming a safari hosting business on the planet. She changed her name to Lady Ahrkan, and made a small fortune by the height of the New Order. She never forgot or forgave Milac Troper for leaving her, however. Dayla eventually met up with Captain Roogak of the Ithorian herdship Galactic Horizon, earning his trust while virtually bankrupting herself to gain it. Her desire to maintain the relationship paid off when young Hereven discovered that Troper was going to be aboard the Galactic Horizon to negotiate a peace treaty. Dayla called in every favor owed to her by Captain Roogak, and got several gasnits placed aboard the herdship's ecosystem. Her plans to exact revenge on Troper were nearly thwarted when she encountered the team of freelance mercenaries Troper had hired to protect himself. Dayla and her son, Hereven, were captured and arrested for the attempted murder of Troper.
