If the young daughter of the Taltos had a reputation for being a slut, well ... girls would be girls.<br/><br/>Since the Clone Wars the Empire had seemed to be far away, but her mother always discouraged Savaelli from asking too many questions about galactic politics or the ambitions of Sheev Palpatine.  More recently, word of a Rebellion had spread to the and Savaelli dreamt of getting far away from her farmgirl life and fighting for freedom.  Her parents quietly reminded her that she had a place <em>here,</em> a good place and a worthy, if humble, life.<br/><br/>When the Empire arrived, that changed.  Suddenly the Taltos household was bunkering down, laying in supplies and hoping to avoid excessive <em>Imperial entanglements</em> but Savaelli decided that waiting until someone else could solve their problems wasn't good enough, that it was just ... living scared under occupation.  She took her hunting rifle, a pack of supplies and enough tools to get by - and disappeared into a warm night to make contact with an offworld smuggler who, for the right price, would be willing to make an introduction for her.</div></div>
