A curious and fearless child, she needed near constant supervision otherwise she would sneak out and explore the streets of Coruscant on her own.<br/><br/>With an affinity for science and engineering, her parents had great ambitions for her, but she proved unsuitable for long hours of study, preferring a more active lifestyle and a more practical approach to science.<br/><br/>Despite having a rebellious phase in her teens, the Imperial Academy seemed to fit her well and was noticed for her dedication and her diligence. Generous and friendly, she had no difficulty making friends and frequently found herself being depended upon by her fellow students.<br/><br/>Shassaa however handled injustice and discrimination poorly and would be extremely vocal in such situation, putting her at odds with certain students and instructors.<br/><br/>While not strongly politically aligned, the Empire’s handling of her family and herself forced her to take a stand in favor of the Alliance, and it took little more than a push for her to enroll with the Rebellion.<br/><br/>Though not a stranger to romance, Shassaa usually prefers to take the lead and go from 0 to 100 in short order rather than being the target of elaborate flirting schemes.<br/><br/>Despite her Togruti heritage, Shassaa has little connection with her people’s culture, most notably their relation to nature, as she was born and raised in an ecumenopolis made of steel and concrete.<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>History:</strong> </span><br/>Shassaa was born on the upper levels of Coruscant from a family of merchants and diplomats who made their fortune during the later days of Old Republic and the Clone Wars. Enjoying a wealthy lifestyle, she was given the best education early one, even despite her energetic personality.<br/><br/>While still a student, she became a part-time pilot, taking clients to various destination on Coruscant and offworld during school breaks, doing so less for the moment - which she had no shortage of - than to satiate her wanderlust.<br/><br/>In her later teens, she enrolled in the Imperial Navy Academy on Prefsbelt IV, her admission only allowed thanks to the vast sum of money her family forwarded to the Academy’s board. Majoring in Astrogation and Astrophysics, she enjoyed the more active model of study the academy offered as opposed to what civilian institutions offered, taking full advantage of the Academy’s hybrid combat training and academics program.<br/><br/>Despite a near-spotless academic record and few disciplinary incidents - the existing ones usually related to standing up to bullies and unfair instructors - she was held up on classes for dubious reasons and refused a cadet posting several times over. With her mounting frustration and the increasingly obvious fact that she would never be allowed to graduate, it took only a push for Shassaa to lose her temper, which she did after weeks of harassment and bullying from a fellow student, a human and personal favorite of the Academy’s headmaster. Engaging in a fist fight with the fellow student was all it took to get her kicked out.<br/><br/>Ashamed by her dismissal, Shassaa did not immediately return home, instead living on her own and earning a living as a private pilot. Upon hearing that her family had been arrested on accusations of corruption, she headed back to Coruscant but was unable to have her parents release, or even access any of her family’s wealth and properties, which the Empire had seized. Broke, wanted and fearing for her parent’s and her own safety, she fled Coruscant and headed for the Outer Rim, hoping to find help and a way to free her family.<br/><br/>In the Outer Rim, her piloting skills came of use when she became involved with a gang of ‘movers’, secretly giving passage on and off-world to criminals and other individuals wanted by the Empire or who desired to avoid Imperial entanglements. She was eventually hired by a recruiter for the Alliance to Restore the Republic who convinced her to join the Rebellion as a pilot and navigator, serving on a Corellian Corvette as her first posting.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Specializations:</strong> </span><br/>(in order of skill)<br/>-Astrogation/Navigation<br/>-Piloting (light freighters and shuttles)<br/>-Capital Ship Helmsmanship<br/>-Piloting (speeders, starfighters)<br/>-Combat (small arms, hand-to-hand)<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Character Flaws:</strong></span><br/>Family matters : With Shassaa’s family in its clutches, the Empire has a strong leverage against her, should it ever need it…<br/>Idealist: Shassaa’s ideals of justice and defense of the oppressed are likely to get in the way of making the smartest decision in situations that call for it, and she will resent a commander who makes the difficult but strategically sound choice.<br/>Mild ADHD: Sitting around in a meeting or on a bridge for hours is a sure way to lose Shassaa’s attention.<br/>Rich Girl: Shassaa is accustomed to a life of relative luxury and may not handle having to deal with frugal conditions for too long too well<br/>Obligatory Carnivore: Togruti are carnivorous and unable to effectively digest plant matter.
