Ia, after being wounded on Ryloth

Ia (no surname) is a former Coruscanti police officer in the traffic division who, due to the poor timing of a double date along with her best friend Deserea Synn with Les Karif and Rixx Corren, wound up being branded a traitor by the first order. As a result she fled the planet with the men and their allies and adopted an outlaw life as a result.

## Background

Ia grew up in the undercity of Coruscant and met her best friend Deserea Synn. Due to the rough manner of the upbringing they were connected to the criminal undercity gang known as The Lost Ones.

At some point both she and Desera managed to leave the life of crime behind them and migrate into respectable professions, with Ia joining the Coruscanti Police Force and becoming a traffic enforcement officer. During the course of her career she found a “nemesis” in the Rybet air speeder cab driver Nibber Swoo, who seemed to delight in committing traffic violations. Overall she found the job itself rather dull and felt she was making little impact in society and was pretty dissatisfied with her work.

## A Turning Point

During the New Years festival on Coruscant in  37 ABY Ia happened to meet First Order Security Bureau agent Les Karif and began talking to him, mostly about his position in the FOSB  Pushed largely by his friend and fellow agent Rixx Corren, Les agreed to meet Ia for coffee and discuss the job and the possibility of Ia securing a position as an agent. This Pseudo date led to Ia and Desera inviting Les and Rixx to the Western Sea for a vacation, to which they agreed.

The vacation did not go as expected, however, as they seemed to stumble upon a mystery of a missing girl, and the vacation was abruptly cut short when Rixx and Les’ fellow agents, Tohar Anlon, Aurelia Denelian, and Jaylin Draglin,  were attacked by Marshal Silas Cargeloth and his forces at a nearby island on Western Sea.

Although Les was reluctant to speed to the rescue of his colleagues Ia, Deserea and Rixx convinced him and the four rented a boat to speed to the island to help them. During the journey, however, they were chased by a mysterious couple who turned out to be First Order agents Gunn Barboy and Nali Fellwen, who ordered them to stop and submit to arrest for treason.

Les and Rixx refused, and the latter seemed to cause their pursuers’ boat to crash while they sped to safety. They met up with the other agents, who had escaped with the assistance of Calder Brya, and retreated to Brya’s summer home on the lake. They all soon learned that the agents were being accused of treason and assisting the Resistance and all of them were sought.

The agents insisted the charges were false, but maintained that they needed to leave the planet anyway, as they did not believe they would receive a fair hearing. They offered to leave Ia and Desera behind, urging them to cooperate fully and even accuse them of being coerced if necessary to secure their safety, but both Ia and Desera decided they had little to remain on Coruscant for and asked to accompany them off the planet, in spite of the fact it would mean life as an outlaw. With varying degrees of reluctance, the group agreed.

## Fleeing Coruscant

With the assistance of Calder Brya and Dr. Henrietya "Corellia" Antilles, they were able to sneak to the spaceport and secure a ship, the *Harrand’s Folly* (though they promptly rechristened it the *Eclectic Mayhem)*, and fled the planet.

After a brief stop for supplies on Corellia, which saw a riot start due to rising political tensions, the *Eclectic Mayhem* fled to the outer rim. The crew was forced into a brief stint as bounty hunters to secure parts for their damaged hyperdrive engine, during which Ia proved uncertain during combat in spite of her weapons training as a Coruscanti Security officer, she quickly overcame her hesitation.

## On Ryloth

### The Bounty Hunting Job

Ia and the others arrived on Ryloth and began to investigate job opportunities, as everyone had left only with the clothes on their back and the credits in their pocket. The group ultimately decided to accept a bounty hunting job to capture one Guzdan Tar because it offered the highest payout, and made contact with Guzdan’s cousin, Tadya Tar. It turned out that Tadya was the sister to a woman from Les Karif’s past, Sinya Tar, and Tadya agreed to help them due to her suspicions that Guzdan had sold Sinya into slavery to get her out of the way of his business ambitions.

However when Tadya failed to arrive at a scheduled rendezvous, the crew concluded that she had been kidnapped by Guzdan and was in the family operated offices of Sienar Fleet Systems. Rixx agreed to perform recon, but was caught and captured, leading the others to storm the building in an effort to rescue him.

Though limiting herself to stun blasts, Ia proved herself quite capable in battle. However things took a turn for the worse when she suffered a blaster bolt to the face, as the security forces of the office were not limiting themselves to stuns, and she and Desera were captured when reinforcements arrived.

### **Capture**

Ia and Deserea were captured by the Tar Clan and taken back to the Tar Clan hall and imprisoned alongside Tadya Tar. She and Deserea were beaten and interrogated, though what (if anything) she revealed is unknown. Guzdan Tar subsequently sold her to Clan Himar, to be sold intern to a buyer who “likes his slaves a little damaged.”

## Enslavement

Ia was sold to Zag Leer, who smuggled her off Ryloth and brought her back to Iridonia. Ia was installed in the brothel owned by Leer to serve as a sex slave. Ia almost immediately began planning her escape when the slave den was raided by rebels fighting against Iridonia's pro First Order government. Seeing an opportunity Ia sprang into action and aided the rebels to help secure her own freedom.

## A New Way

Upon escaping, the Mandalorian informed her they took note of her abilities during the raid. It did not take long before she had joined with the Mandalorian, finding a great deal of comfort in their ways.

With her combat abilities it did not take long for Ia to earn the respect of the Mandalorian and earn the right to wear armor and participate in combat. She was all to happy to assist the Mandalorian who were aiding Accadi's revolution on Iridonia.

## A Reunion

Ia was shocked when the Crew of the *Eclectic Mayhem* turned up on Iridonia, informing her they'd been searching for her and that they had refused to rest until they saw her freed from captivity. She was quite touched by the dedication and was thrilled to be reunited with Desera.

She also realized that crew could be of help to the rebellion, and asked them if they would consider assisting her with a mission she was planning to free more of the slaves from Zag Leer's slave den. The crew agreed, and Ia and Desera operated the speeder to take the freed slaves from the city at the successful conclusion of the mission.

## The Battle of Maladris

Ia participated in the Battle of Maladris, accompanying Desera and the Crew of the *Eclectic Mayhem* in their mission to disable the shield generators protecting the Governmental District of the city. That mission was successful, and they were reassigned to assist in capturing the Governmental Palace. She was separated from her companions in the fighting, joining up with her fellow Mandalorian and participating in harsh combat.

Ia did manage to fight her way into the Governmental Palace in time to rejoin Acaadi and the Crew of the *Eclectic Mayhem* as they attacked the President's Council Chambers. The president and his council were present, including Zag Leer, who had been promptly shot down by Les and Tohar. Ia wordlessly advanced on Leer, finishing him off with a blaster to the head.

## Personality and Abilities

Ia is smart, friendly and personable although she can become flustered when overwhelmed or in stressful situations.

She was a capable security officer and as a result of her training is capable of using all manner of blasters.
