You likely grew up in a hangar and snuck some simulator time in when you weren't fetching tools and components or doing minor repairs that the techs didn't have time to do.  By the time anybody found out what you were up to, you were a decent tech and better pilot than the majority of the flight school graduates.  When push comes to shove, the military is notorious for scraping the bottom of the barrel and probably threw you in a fighter for the first time during a last ditch, do or die defense of something vital.  Seeing that you were able to survive, they probably used you any time they were short on pilots, if the senior officers were looking the other way and they figured the missions weren't too dangerous.  They probably gave you a decommissioned ship out of a sense of guilt over using you so unmercifully, although you didn't see it that way.  It allowed them to get rid of an asset that was no longer of any value and gave you something to do as you brought it back up to proper space-worthy condition.  Are you sure you want to dig Mina?  You dig, I dig."<br/><br/>He wasn't meaning to be malicious in his assessment.  She was obviously a navy brat.  A few questions and her reaction to them would tell him more.  She could have been orphaned and adopted by the techs, the pilots or the ship crew.  She could have been the child of military parents.  To get where she was there were few paths and even fewer starting points.  In any case she seemed like an interesting person, even if her assessment of the group was a little off compared to his.  She was also another female.  It looked like he was going to be surrounded by them.  It was a pity that the majority would likely be adverse to him making a profit off of their 'assets'.<em>Where are the Twi'leks when you need them?</em>
