Legend

this woman, known for her striking red hair, was one of the Lieutenants who served the Kuari Princess. Celia grew up the child of a graduate of the Imperial Academy, and dreamed of attending herself. However, her father, Reise Durasha, never forwarded her application for entry. He told her that the Academy no place for a woman. He then sent Celia's brothers in their turn, keeping her at home. She ended up attending Baylagon Technical Institute, and was hired by Galaxy Tours shortly after graduation. She served as the navigator of the cruise ship Majestic, and single-handedly saved the ship during a pirate attack. This got her noticed by the company, which promoted her and assigned her as navigator of the Kuari Princess. It was aboard the Princess that she became good friends with Dap Nechel. Known as Crimson to Detien Kaileel, she was disturbed to learn of his allegiance to the Alliance. When he was arrested on the Princess, though, she began to understand his loyalties. She also began to question her own stance when Kaileel's captor turned out to be her childhood love, Adion Lang. She was torn about who to believe when Kaileel revealed the truth about the Empire's involvement in the destruction of Alderaan. She sided with Kaileel, and nearly succeeded in helping him escape. However, they were intercepted by Lang, who shot Kaileel and killed him before he could escape. Celia took the shuttle and fled into the Maelstrom. Years later, she met up with Kaj Nedmak on Oasis after stowing away on his ship, and the two decided to go into the shipping business together. Celia liked his roguish actions, but feared his debts would catch up to him. It was for this reason that she reluctantly went along with his plan to use weapons they were transporting for Bwahl the Hutt to pay of a gambling debt to Rass M'Guy. Her fears proved correct, and they were forced to crashland on Ord Mantell. Celia feared Kaj was dead, and discovered Thune's hideout in the wilderness. Celia was duped by Thune into believing that Treytis Prash was the bounty hunter who captured Kaj, when in reality it was Thune herself. In a harrowing escape, Kaj and Celia enlisted the help of Prash and Thune's droid, U-THR. Celia and Kaj returned to smuggling, this time with U-THR's help. She went by the monicker of Mistress Crimson, and commanded the starship Starlight Red during this time.
