Her parents, Siluna and Thura, were part of the Imperial Medical Corps stationed on a nowhere planet, and she became that nowhere planet's newest resident until they shipped out again. Most of her life before age 10 was lived on starships, with brief stops on other worlds for a few months, or a year at most. Sorana had a natural way with languages and with people, and when she was old enough, her parents at the 'urging' of their COs sent her to a fine school on the Empire's dime.<br/><br/>While she was off at that fine school, her parents were killed in what she was assured was a tragic accident near Yavin-4. Sorana grieved in private and threw herself into her schooling. It was what Mother and Father wanted for her; the least she could do was fulfill their dream for her. She was placed in Intelligence upon her graduation, and has shown herself to be completely competent and efficient at what she does.<br/><br/>The Empire might wish she was less competent, however, if they knew all of what she has uncovered. Her request to be stationed out of common space landed her a position with the Commodore on Masivaa - she was capable, quiet, and good with languages so she could help any interpretation they might need. During her research into the system that would be her home now, she stumbled on a copy of her own file, and her parents' files. Their deaths were accidents, if laser cannon fire could be accidental. Moreover, the Empire knew whose laser cannons they were, and had covered it up - imagine the shame it would bring if a Moff's ship, under his personal command, had accidentally fired upon an Imperial medical vessel because he mistook it for a Hutt cargo freighter! It was covered up, and the Moff in question was still serving.<br/><br/>Sorana's blood had boiled, then cooled to ice in her veins. The Empire didn't care, she'd known that, but this was something she could not let pass. Revenge wasn't really her style, but repayment . . . that sounded just lovely. Upon her arrival on Masivaa, she spent some time learning how to ferret out rebel communications, and learning the language and codes they used. And then set up meetings of her own, getting herself involved in the rebellion as much as they'd trust her (not too much, at first, but when they didn't all get arrested immediately, it improved). She's on track to become one of Commodore Teff's assistants, but right now is still working in Intelligence, passing on information to the rebels and keeping the Imps from learning everything they're doing.
