## Biography

### Early Life

Hart was born on the Colonies planet of Commenor during the year 17 BBY.

### Service on the Anodyne

Shortly after the Destruction of the Hosnian System, Hart transferred from serving aboard the Raddus to on the Anodyne, a Nebulon-C Escort Frigate owned by the Resistance. Hart was the commander of the ship, her captain being Paydin Nasan. A medical ship, the Anodyne flew to the Hosnian System to scout out survivors however found none, as all the planets within the system had been completely destroyed. Hart regrouped the ship with the Raddus' fleet.

### Evacuation of D'Qar

With Starkiller Base destroyed, the Resistance had brief time to celebrate before their base on D'Qar had to be evacuated. Vice Admiral Paulon Resdox was assigned by General Leia Organa to the Anodyne. Upon his arrival, he reassigned Hart to the Raddus. Hart, along with her assisstant, Lieutenant Krista Amina, travelled from the Anodyne to the Raddus via a U-55 Orbital Loadlifter, the Houssin, piloted by pilots Trem Mannar and Flenchesca Prins. Upon arriving aboard the Raddus, Hart was injured when the Houssin's landing ramp collapsed as she disembarked the ship, injuring her leg.

### Destruction of the Raddus' Bridge

Having been injured, Hart was taken to the Raddus' medical bay to be treated. During this time, the Raddus fled the Ileenium System into hyperspace. The Raddus later left hyperspace in the Oetchi System, however, the First Order arrived soon after, having followed the ship through lightspeed, something which the Resistance judged to be impossible. The arrival of the First Order, inclusing the flagship of Snoke's personal command ship, the Supremacy, a Mega-Class Star Dreadnought, plunged the Raddus into chaos. Hart attempted to reach the bridge but struggled due to her injury. The bridge was shortly thereafter destroyed, killing all aboard, including Fleet Admiral Gial Ackbar, the ship's Captain, Idrosen Gawat and the vast majority of the Resistance's High Command, leaving General Leia Organa as the sole survivor.

Hart later attended Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo's introductory speech, as being the highest ranking officer in the fleet, was automatically given command. Hart sat alongside Lieutenant Amira and next to the Sullustan pilot Nien Nunb.

### Mutiny against Holdo

As the Resistance boarded the U-55 Orbital Loadlifters, Poe Dameron's mutiny against Vice Admiral Holdo came into full effect. Hart was not present with Holdo, having been assigned by Holdo to another transport. There, Hart was held at blasterpoint by several members of the resistance, including Lieutenant Amina. The mutiny failed when Holdo managed to overpower her mutineers, triggering a chain panic reaction which resulted in all mutineers being defeated. Hart, now freed from her mutineers, boarded her transport.

The evacuation of the ship was initially successful, with the First Order failing to notice the ships departing due to cloaking technology installed by Rose Tico. Slicer DJ, however, betrayed the Resistance by informing them of the Resistance's evacuating transports. The gunners of the Supremacy opened fire on the fleeing transports. After multiple transports were shot down, Hart ordered her pilot, Myko Santos, to make contact with Vice Admiral Holdo, who had stayed aboard the Raddus. The pilot begun to make contact, while Hart comforted her fellow passengers, including Lieutenant Amina, whom Hart forgave for her prior digression. As the pilot and Holdo spoke, their transport was struck by the Supremacy's fire, killing all aboard as the ship exploded into a fireball.
