Legend

the youngest member of a large family based on the planet Talus, this woman worked for the Empire as a biologist during the height of the New Order. When her father died in the factory he was working in, her four brothers tried to keep the family together. Her mother seemed to have died inside, although she kept on living. When her youngest brother enlisted in the Imperial armed forced but died during a training exercise, Dusque's mother began to rail against the Empire, claiming that it had killed her family. She then returned to the shell she had become, leaving Dusque and her surviving brothers to fend for themselves. Despite graduating with high marks and continually scoring higher than her superiors, Dusque always managed to miss out on promotions or better jobs. She knew that this was due to her sex, and so she dressed and acted as unfeminine as possible. However, this didn't deter her from doing the best job possible. Her love of her work was enhanced by the presence of her partner, Tendau Nandon. During a routine mission to a galaxy-wide conference on Naboo, Dusque met Finn Darktrin, who began to question her allegiance to the Empire. While Dusque didn�t openly say it, she had begun to wonder why the Empire treated non-humans so unfairly. Her dedication to the Empire was shattered when Tendau was arrested and executed on the suspicion of being an Alliance sympathizer. She agreed to accompany Finn and set out to join the Alliance. The two were paired on a dangerous mission to Dantooine, where the abandoned Alliance base still stood. Despite having been razed during the Imperial investigation just before the Battle of Yavin, Princess Leia Organa still believed that a holocron containing the names and locations of hundreds of Alliance agents was still on Dantooine. Dusque and Finn set out from Corellia to find it, racing the Empire's agents and the planet's ecosystem to find it. Dusque discovered it hidden in the ashen remains of a campfire, inexplicably located hundreds fo feet belowground, at the site of an ancient Jedi training compound. Her elation at finding the holocron was matched by her growing affection for Finn, although he seemed alternately aloof and eager to return the feeling. It was on their return to the Alliance headquarters that Dusque discovered that Finn himself was an Imperial agent. He managed to send off a small portion of the holocron's contents before Dusque grabbed the object and ejected it into space. Finn had no desire to return to the Alliance, and didn't need Dusque blowing his cover, so he stabbed her in the chest with a knife. As their ship was about to be boarded, Finn blasted away in an escape pod. Dusque found herself being rescued by Luke Skywalker, but had to explain what happened to Finn. However, she believed him dead when no Imperial forces attacked their base on Corellia.
