Legend

this balck-haired woman served the Alliance at the base on the planet Arbra, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. She was part of a team, along with Luke Skywalker and Berl, that was dispatched to Serphidi to make contact with the native Serps. Captain Tarheel's X-Wing fighter was shot down over Serphidi by Imperial TIE Fighters when they entered the system, and she was forced to crash-land her ship on the surface. Only years of experienced helped her make the landing successfully. However, as soon as Luke and Berl arrived to help, they were set upon by a group of armored Serps. Berl was shot and killed, and Cinda was wounded and taken prisoner. She was forced to be one of King S'Shah's slave girls, until the Serp King revealed that she was going to be the main course at a dinner in his honor. She briefly escaped, but was shortly captured and subdued. She was to be cooked at the dinner following one of S'Shah's doom-jousts, but Luke managed to defeat the King, with some help from Elglih. The elderly Serp freed Cinda, and agreed to support the Alliance.
