This is more than just a skill or a job, this is her life... But she was trained as a commando too, her precision and clever use of technology making her a very good sniper. She learned to ride, drive, and pilot, and also trained her body to be good at acrobatics, but only good in athletics because her fittness and dexterity... close combat is not really her forte.

Force sensitive No How did they join the Lucky Hand s crew? Good question. Answered later. Nikitas greater family would have been two of the old leading ones, if the Chiss Ascendancy hadnt lost those colony words to the Swarm. Her parents was thus not born at their ancestral home, but a new enclave with other home and system less Chiss. What was more, her parents somehow became the black sheeps of their families. While her father was ascendant from Grand Admiral Thrawn he never reached higher prestige but to be the aide of an officer. He kept all of the Great Admirals worse qualities, missing his finer points. No surprise that he was not able to get into the upper crust of Chiss society. Choosing a well known lower class entertainer as his mate just made him more of an outcast. Nikitas mother had notable ancestry too. One of her ancestors doing the same as she grown up to do, entertaining was the lover of one Lando Calrissian. The two even had a child, an outstanding oddity among the xenophobic Chiss, never able to climb the social ladder. It also meant that Nikitas mother came from a line of entertainers, but while some would call them artists or actress, others still kept referring to what they was doing as being exotic dancers, call girls, or just plainly escorts Her mother died at the birth of her little brother when she was six years old. When her father was reassigned with his broken family to an Imperial outpost, he started to take out his frustrations on the children And got them a stepmother or two along the way. Being among the few Chiss children she had to go to school with mainly humans, but one or two other races young too. They put her into class for her age on her papers, not seeing that she was more mature and off the charts intelligent. No surprise that she soon found herself changing schools. Nikita was also home schooled a little more and studying a lot on her own too. At least her little brother do not had to have problems with school, as he was considered too young while already learning like a Chiss at home with the help of the Library link back to their homeworld. Still not a full access, but at least a possible source for downloadable material of all kind. Lon Monna was a near human Assassin Bounty Hunter living a solitary life in one corner of Neyok City among the non-natives. His work coming from a shady man called Toanny. Lon spent his idle time engaging in calisthenics, nurturing a houseplant, and watching old vids. One day, Lon, the hitman or cleaner, as he referred to himself sees Nikita, seemingly a twelve year-old dark skinned girl who is smoking a cigarette and sporting a bloodied black eye. But that she was moping, that was more easier to spot because her perpetually red eyes. Nikita lived with her dysfunctional family next doors. Her abusive father and self-absorbed stepmother have not noticed that she stopped attending class at her new Imperial school for troubled girls. Her father attracted the ire of corrupt Imperial agents, who have been paying him to stash contraband in their apartment. After they discover he has been using and keeping some for himself, the agents storm the building, led by the sharply dressed drug addict Chiss Norstan, who, during the raid, becomes unhinged and murders Nikitas entire family one by one while she is out shopping for groceries. When she returns, she realizes what has happening just in time to continue down the street, where she desperately knocks on her neighbour's door. A hesitant Lon gives her shelter. Nikita quickly discovers that Lon is a hitman. She begs him to take care of her and to teach her his skills, as she wants to avenge the murder of her four-year-old brother. At first, Lon is unsettled by her presence. He even almost kills her in her sleep, possibly out of mercy, but cannot bring himself to do it. The next morning, Lon tries to throw her out, but she claims that, because he saved her life the previous day, he is now responsible for her, stating that she would be dead by the end of the day if he threw her out and it would be like he had never opened the door for her. She begs him to train her as a cleaner, demonstrating her willingness to learn by taking Lon's interesting blaster and firing randomly onto the street outside his open window. She is surprised as the weapon is an archaic slug thrower Reluctantly, Lon trains Nikita and shows her how to use various weapons. In return, she runs his errands, cleans his apartment, and teaches him how to use the GalaxyNet. She soon catches Lon with a woman, and starts stalking the man as he takes out his sexual frustration on different females, mutually satisfying or paying for it. She tells Lon she loves him several times, but he offers no response. One day, after she has learned how to shoot, Nikita fills a bag with pistols and rifles from Lon's collection and sets out to kill Norstan. She bluffs her way into the Imperial office by posing as a delivery girl, only to be ambushed by Norstan in a bathroom. She learns from Norstan that Lon killed one of the corrupt agents in another part of the town that morning. Lon, after discovering her plan in a note left for him, rescues Nikita, shooting two more of Norstan's men in the process. A now enraged Norstan goes to find Toanny, and assaults him in order to find out where Lon is. When Nikita returns home from grocery shopping, a team sent by Norstan captures her and attempts to infiltrate Lon's apartment. Lon ambushes the team and grabs her. Back in his apartment, Lon creates a quick escape for her by smashing a hole in an air shaft. He reassures her and tells her that he loves her and that she has given him a taste for life, moments before the police come for him. In the chaos that follows, Lon sneaks out of the building disguised as a wounded officer. He goes unnoticed save for Norstan, who recognizes him, follows him and shoots him in the back. As he is dying, Lon places an object in Norstan's hands that he says is from Nikita. Opening his hands, Norstan discovers that it is the cover from a grenade. He then opens Lon's vest to find a cluster of active grenades, which detonate moments later, killing them both. She heads to see Toanny, as Lon had instructed her to do before he died. Toanny reveals to Nikita that Lon instructed him to give his money to her if anything happened to him. He offers to hold the money and provide it to her on an allowance basis, on account of her youth. When she asks Toanny to give her a job as a hitman Toanny angrily and adamantly refuses to hire a ten year old girl, even if she looks thirteen, telling Nikita to forget about her ordeal and return to school. She meets with the school headmistress, who readily admits her after Nikita tells her what had happened in the past several weeks and if the headmistress does not help her now, she would be dead by the end of the day. Nikita then walks into a field near the school to plant Lon's houseplant, as she had told Lon he should, to give it roots. The school is for the up and coming Imperial Army, with the help of the few Chiss from their Expansionary Defense Force. They train the girl for scouting and computer infiltration, nurturing her skills with weapons, as she is without her family - as her father has been exiled before she was born, and he is also dead, there was no contact with her real mothers family - they being from a lower class with mixed lineage anyway. Her stepmothers relatives could not be counted upon either, with the lack of lawful connection Nikita soon realises that while her race as a whole would never attack first, nor would the individuals start attacking others, most of the families was under the pressure to provide soldiers for the newly arisen Sith Empire even if they would became high ranking officers, they still had to go fight for the Sith, or possibly lose everything. Her self proclaimed job was clear, take out the trash, those individuals who greatly went against the Chiss code of conduct Warmongers, war criminals, and their Imperial Sith Superior. With diligent studying and work, she finished her schooling and training, secretly taking out one bad Chiss after another. Her only hobby and family being the animals she learned to ride around the compound and area. Soon she had to leave the system with the outpost, and start looking around the galaxy for more. She had an opportunity to get chosen for future training and taken onboard the Sith Counsellor's warship with other future Imperial officers. She reprogrammed numerous droids and robots and computers until succeeding in orchestrating an accident, where the Siths personal transport was locked onto a docking vector, just to get in the way of a misfiring ion cannon. Nikita made sure to be ready with her ancient slug thrower to put the dot on the cabin window, and like any sufficiently strong micro meteorite, the special projectile damaged the material enough without further notice. Looking into the eyes of the Sith, she sent slug after slug into the cracked armor, the energy dissipating tiles not able to shrug off the ancient weapon. Without a working shield the Sith soon found himself in space but protected by the big ships force fields. He was immediately engulfed in the helping arms of a rescue droid. Keeping the Sith steady and supplied with air and traction, he was starting to retaliate when he realised that the droid kept him really safe as its safety protocols malfunctioned and flow them straight into the smaller ships automatically restarting engines cone of exhaust. No surprise Nikita broke away as soon as possible with the help of a less than officially approved Interrogator droid -, before the inquiry and detective work would successfully incriminate her. She was lucky enough to run into an undercover Jedi coming to discover the cause for the high ranking Siths demise. They worked together to appropriate some new tech prototypes being worked on onboard the warship She got herself a new shiny weapon and saved the quirky droid too. SIZE
