Legend

this woman was a bounty hunter and scout who was active during the years following the Great Sith War, nearly 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. She was unusual for her kind in that she never killed another being to collect a bounty, and only used lethal force in self-defense. Even then, she killed reluctantly, and this collection of attributed allowed her to remain clear of organizations such as the Exchange. As a young girl, Mira was orphaned during the Mandalorian Wars when her parents were killed during the Battle of Malachor. She was enslaved by the surviving Mandalorians and ended up on Nar Shaddaa, where she as forced to survive on her own. With her knack for finding people, Mira quickly became a bounty hunter. She was known to hunt with a specialized wrist launcher, that could fire small darts or ion rockets. During one fateful mission, she managed to save the life of Hanharr, forcing him to acknowledge a life-debt to her. Hanharr never forgot this, and spent many years trying to track her down and have her killed, so that the debt would no longer be hanging over his head. After the Jedi Civil War, Mira was among the bounty hunters who traveled to Nar Shaddaa to work for Goto, hunting down the surviving Jedi Knights and bringing them to Nar Shaddaa. On Nar Shaddaa, she joined the party of beings who traveled with The Exile. When they tried to locate Visquis in the Jekk'Jekk Tarr bar, Mira was forced to confront Hanharr in one-on-one combat. Using all her skills, Mira was able to defeat the huge Wookiee, although she regretted having to take his life. She voiced these regrets to The Exile, who recognized that she had a connection to the Force, and agreed to take her on as a student.
