Biography . Thilis - Brin was a female Ishi Tib born sometime between 36 BBY and 32 BBY . During the Galactic Civil War , she joined the insurgent Alliance to Restore the Republic and underwent recruit training , placing first in her class . She also placed fourth in the desert training seminar , an impressive achievement given the aquatic physiology of the Ishi Tib . Upon graduation from her training , Thilis - Brin was regarded as SpecForce material , but she was assigned to the Mon Calamari Shipyards , working as a technical troubleshooter . However , she longed to take a more active role in the Alliance . Two years after enlisting , Thilis - Brin received the opportunity she desired . She was selected by the Jin Lieutenant Dutra Zeneta to serve as part of Shroud Team , an all - alien unit of Foster Agent s . A posting as a Foster Agent was one of the most dangerous assignments in the Alliance ; they were the point of contact for operative s stranded in the field who were attempting to rejoin the Alliance . The names and locations of the Foster Agents were provided to those operatives who may have need of their services ; if the operatives were captured and interrogated , the Foster Agent was in danger of being compromised . Shroud Team was inserted into Corint City on the planet Pirik in the Divis Arm ; in addition to Thilis - Brin and Zeneta , the team also consisted of the Rodian Dheendo , the Carosite Tamo Lan , and the Aqualish Gondara . The unit ' s composition blended well with the inhabitants of Corint City , as non - Humans made up 95 percent of the local population . Thilis - Brin served as the team ' s chief technician and procurement specialist , who would obtain needed supplies , such as vehicles and rations . She was also Shroud Team ' s secondary Foster Agent , with Dheendo operating as the primary . However , her Ishi Tib physiology meant that she needed to immerse herself in a brine solution every day . The closest available source to Corint City was the Uloitir Sea , located fourteen kilometers from the settlement , and Thilis - Brin had to find the necessary time in the day to attend to her physiological needs while also performing her duties with Shroud Team . At some point during her assignment on Pirik , Thilis - Brin was involved in a high - speed speeder bike chase through the Talamp Industrial Sector . Riding her modified Ikas - Adno Sunwolf speeder bike , she evaded a squad of Imperial scout troopers while transporting a high - ranking Alliance officer . Evading pursuit and positive identification , she ensured her charge was safely delivered to their destination . Personality and traits . Thilis - Brin was an individual driven to succeed , be it on a personal level or in her goal to assist in the destruction of the Empire . Her scores during her Alliance training marked her as an operative with a promising career , which Thilis - Brin began to live up to once she started working with Shroud Team . Although she enjoyed her work with the unit , Thilis - Brin was unsure of exactly what kind of career she wanted to pursue with the Alliance and in what capacity she wanted to serve in the future . While Ishi Tib were generally known to be mild - mannered individuals , Thilis - Brin was not . She was a show - off who lived for thrills and was noted for rescuing Alliance operatives in a high - profile manner . Skills and abilities . Thilis - Brin was qualified to pilot both capital ships and space transports , and she was rated to handle the weapon and shielding systems aboard the former . She was also capable of navigating vessels through hyperspace and using communications and security equipment . A skilled technician , Thilis - Brin was trained to repair capital ships , with particular expertise with EF76 Nebulon - B escort frigates and MC80 Star Cruiser s , and space transports , as well as maintaining their weapon systems . She was also able to program and repair both droids and computers . Thilis - Brin ' s assignment to the Calamari shipyards gave her an insight into the bureaucracy needed to keep the installation functioning efficiently , as well as knowledge regarding Mon Calamari ' s law enforcement procedures . She was also well - informed about business protocols , item valuation , and Corint City itself . She was skilled in the operation of repulsorlift - equipped vehicles and could repair them when the need arose . Trained in survival techniques , Thilis - Brin placed fourth in desert survival during her training . A member of the aquatic Ishi Tib species , Thilis - Brin was a natural and strong swimmer , although her need to be immersed in salt water on a daily basis was an occasional hindrance , as she would have to find the time to do so while also operating as a member of the Alliance . In addition to that species trait , Thilis - Brin also possessed a hardened beak capable of inflicting harm during unarmed combat , and she was a natural planner like the majority of her race . She was trained in the use of a blaster and could also operate vehicle - mounted blasters . Equipment . Thilis - Brin generally armed herself with a blaster pistol and carried a comlink and tool kit . She also owned a Sunwolf speeder bike , which was the military variant of the Ikas - Adno ' s civilian - model Starhawk . Behind the scenes . Thilis - Brin first appeared in an installment of the " Cracken ' s Rebel Operatives " article series published in " Star Wars Adventure Journal 10 " by West End Games in 1996 . Detailing the members of Shroud Team , the feature was written by C . Robert Carey with illustrations provided by Kathy Burdette . Thilis - Brin was later namechecked as an example name for Ishi Tib characters in the " Ultimate Alien Anthology " , published in 2003 , and " The Unknown Regions " , released in 2010 , both from Wizards of the Coast .
