## Biography

### Early Life

#### Warrior of the Scyre

Before being Scyre Clan, **Phasma** and her brother Keldo were members of a weak clan that resided around the Nautilus on a desolate world Parnassos. Phasma and Keldo grew up having to defend the clans territory from raiders from rival clans such as the Scyre or Claw Clan. One day Phasma had orchestrated the deaths of her clan including her parents in order to ensure both herself and Keldo survived whilst still being able to live in the Nautilus. In order to do this, she stabbed Keldo in the foot with a knife and pushed him into a cave thus disabling Keldo, she said the clan was under attack then shouted for help and her family arrived to fight the rival Scyre Clan, by the time that Keldo awoke their family was dead and most of his foot gone.

Shortly after, Phasma along with Keldo both pledged their allegiances to the Scyre by painting themselves with a oracle salve made from their family. Due to Parnassos' harsh environment and lack of a technological advancements, Phasma spent her days wearing a protective gear and scavenging crashed starships for weapons and supplies. Additionally, she led a group of Scyre clan warriors and believed herself to be the strongest warrior on Parnassos. Everything did change, however, when Phasma observed a First Order starship crashing in the neighboring Claw clan territory. Covertly leading her Scyre warriors over the border into Claw territory, Phasma was brought face to face with First Order officer Brendol Hux, flanked by three Stormtroopers and a black droid. Hux introduced himself as an officer for the First Order, who had been on a mission to recruit the strongest warriors in the galaxy to the First Order's military when his ship had been shot down by Parnassos' automated defense system. Seizing her opportunity to get offplanet, Phasma stepped forward and unmasked herself, introducing herself and offering to assist Brendol find his crashed vessel and return to the First Order.

### Service to the First Order

Phasma was Stormtrooper Captain of the First Order, though her true rank was higher than her title suggested. Phasma was a leading member of the unofficial commanding triumvirate, alongside Dark Side enforcer Kylo Ren and the General Armitage Hux. Phasma was assigned to Starkiller Base, where she oversaw training of the First Order military and ranks of the Stormtroopers, in particular. Captain Phasma sought to have only the elite soldiers wear the Order's Stormtrooper armor, and endeavored to keep politics out of the ranks to guard against a lack of effectiveness. Phasma also believed a Stormtrooper's loyalty was to be first and foremost to the First Order, not to any individual or a comrade. She herself did oversee the training of the FN Corps including FN-2187, FN-2000, FN-2003, and FN-2199. After one training simulation, Phasma noted to Hux that FN-2187 and his class had the potential at becoming the best Stormtroopers the First Order had ever produced. However, she also noted that FN-2187 was too empathetic, despite training him and his class since their induction, after he strayed from his objective to save FN-2003 before they fully completed their training simulation.

Phasma later expressed these concerns to trooper FN-2187 himself, ordering the trooper to leave those who could have potentially weaken the First Order behind, speaking of FN-2003. After the previous training session, she accelerated FN-2187 along with other fellow cadets training sessions, at times praising the trooper FN-2187 in front of great many Order members for his successes. However, Phasma once again reprimanded FN-2187 after she had seen the Stormtrooper's performance in an melee weapons exercise, during which the cadet once again expressed sympathy for FN-2003. After this, she sent the trooper FN-2187 and other fellow squadmates on their first deployment to an asteroid field in Pressylla System, giving them one short briefing in which she explained that the cadets of the First Order were to restore order. At the asteroid mining facility, collectively called Pressy's Tumble, Captain Phasma stationed cadets on guard duty. During the meantime, she had gathered a group of First Order Stormtroopers with her and awaited to negotiate with the miners on strike, who allegedly were riled up by infiltrating New Republic agents and caused delays to Order mining operations.

Once ready, the Captain called FN-2187 and the cadets to her, informing them that they would be accompanying her for the negotiations. However, immediately in response to the miner's requests, Phasma ordered FN-2187 and the others of the cadets to open fire on the miners. FN-2187 did not fire his weapon, but the rest of the squad did so, slaughtering all the miners. Despite his hesitation, FN-2187 and others had been officially promoted to full-fledged Stormtroopers of the First Order, but Phasma remained disappointed in FN-2187's lack of fulfillment. Phasma decided to give FN-2187 a final chance to show his worth by choosing him to be deployed on an assignment to the Western Reaches of Jakku, with her hope being real battle would show him what it meant to be a Stormtrooper. Under orders of the Supreme Leader Snoke, Phasma prepared assault on Jakku to be led by Ren. The dark enforcer was on the hunt for a map that would lead them toward the current location of the last Jedi, Luke Skywalker. Destroying the legendary warrior Luke Skywalker who led a Rebel Alliance to defeating the Galactic Empire was the goal of Snoke in the war against the Resistance and a Republic.

#### Hunt for The Last of Jedi

Phasma was accompanied with at least eighty Stormtroopers, including FN-2187 and FN-2003, to the village of Tuanul. There, the First Order sought to find an ally of the Resistance, Lor San Tekka, whom they believed had found the map to Skywalker. Immediately after her Stormtrooper forces touched down on the planet, a battle broke out between the First Order Stormtroopers and the villagers. FN-2003, whom Phasma had commended on his latest mission to the Pressylla mining colony, was killed during the assault by Dameron, which was witnessed first hand by FN-2187. After the villagers were rounded up by Phasma's troopers and Dameron's X-Wing starfighter was disabled, San Tekka was brought before Kylo Ren and interrogated. Lor San Tekka, however, did not give up the location of the map and was executed by Ren, and Dameron was instead taken as prisoner. When Phasma inquired what to do with the village survivors, Ren ordered her to kill them all. Under Phasma's command, the surviving villagers were killed, although FN-2187 refused to fire his weapon and his conscience was awoken by the event. Before returning to their ship, the *Resurgent*-Class Battlecruiser *Finalizer*, Phasma and her forces searched the village for anything that could lead to the map under Kylo Ren's orders.

When nothing was found, her stormtroopers destroyed Poe Dameron's X-Wing starfighter and returned to the *Finalizer*. Once there, Phasma confronted FN-2187 and demanded he turn his blaster rifle in for inspection, as well as to report to her division for evaluation. She also reprimanded the trooper for removing his helmet, which he had done so in order to vomit after witnessing the events on Jakku. Phasma determined that FN-2187 ultimately needed to be reconditioned. In the meantime, Ren used the Force to probe Dameron's mind and discovered that the map to Luke Skywalker had been hidden in Dameron's droid, BB-8, which was back on Jakku. However, before trooper FN-2187 could be reconditioned and further action could be taken by the First Order on the droid, the stormtrooper betrayed the First Order and helped the Resistance pilot escape. On the bridge of the battlecruiser, after FN-2187 and Dameron escaped, Kylo determined FN-2187 had been responsible for Dameron's rescue, and the Captain noted that it had been the Stormtrooper's first offense against the Order. Despite the First Order's efforts to pursue the treacherous trooper and locate the astromech droid, he escaped from Jakku with the aid of a scavenger named Rey on board the freighter called *Millennium Falcon*.

#### Conflict at Starkiller Base

Following the initial failure to retrieve the droid from Jakku, Snoke approved of Hux's recommendation of using Starkiller against the New Republic. Phasma, along with the might of the military force stationed on Starkiller Base, gathered for a speech to be delivered by Hux prior to the weapon's activation. The Captain stood at attention behind General Armitage Hux during the General's speech, in which the impassioned officer commended the First Order for a successful building of such a massive superweapon. Phasma, along with the rest of the present First Order, witnessed the activation of their Starkiller Base for the first time as it fired its dark energy quintessence beams through hyperspace and reached halfway across the galaxy, successfully destroying the entire Hosnian System, including New Republic's capital world, a Senate, and a majority of the fleet. Afterward, the First Order received word that BB-8 was on Takodana, located in the castle of a pirate Maz Kanata. Kylo led an attack that, although failed to capture BB-8, led to the capture of Rey, who had intel of the map to Skywalker. This led FN-2187, who took on the name Finn, to seek a way to return to Starkiller and free Rey.

Along with the famed smuggler Han Solo and the Wookiee Chewbacca, Finn successfully infiltrated Starkiller Base and sought out Phasma to bring down the base's planetary shield. In addition to rescuing Rey, Finn and Han Solo sought to make way for a resistance attack on the First Order's superweapon. While Captain Phasma diligently patrolled the areas of Starkiller Base under her command, Chewbacca tackled the stormtrooper captain and brought her before Finn along with Han Solo. Finn had taunted Phasma during her capture, expressly telling her that he was now the one in command. When ordered to lead the group to shield control room, Phasma then initially refused, but she was convinced by having Chewbacca threaten to crush her within her armor and Finn threaten to shoot her at close range. As the Captain and the group made their way to the control room, Captain Phasma realized that the Starkiller's architects had never considered being infiltrated and had little security. Once at the shield console, the Captain attempted one last effort to thwart Finn's efforts by stating she would need another officer to bring down a shield, a bluff which rebel Han Solo called Phasma on.

#### Final Service to the Order

When that failed, the Captain took down the shields as asked and threatened the group, assuring them that her troopers would kill them all and stop their plans. Instead of killing Phasma, however, Han Solo asked Finn who worked sanitation on Starkiller Base as a cadet—if it had a trash compactor, to which Finn replied it did. Once the trio blasted consoles in the room beyond repair, they dumped Phasma down a chute into Starkiller Base's sewage system. Ultimately, bringing down the planetary shields allowed Resistance fighter forces to infiltrate Starkiller Base and destroy a thermal oscillator, crippling the superweapon and causing the icy world that hosted it to collapse upon itself. The Captain didn't stay in her prison for long. Having managed to set herself free, Phasma returned to the console she had used to lower all shields to erase all traces of her own treason. Upon realizing that the Lieutenant Sol Rivas had managed to access the very same computer mere minutes before her, Phasma decided to make him take the blame. Spotting her scapegoat on Level Two, Captain Phasma tried to shoot him at a distance, but missed because of the many explosions all across Starkiller Base.

She was forced to follow the escaping Rivas on the surface, and then in space after the Lieutenant fled in a TIE Fighter. While pursuing her quarry, she started recording notes on the final moments of Starkiller Base, rewriting history into the favor of herself. Phasma and TN-3465 tracked Rivas to the planet Luprora. While tracking him they ran into an creature called the tsw'ells. Phasma killed the creature with a knife. After killing the creature, the pair were greeted by a species named the Lupr'or. After meeting their leader, Jair'i, they set out to find Rivas. In the aftermath of Snoke's vessel being split by the final heroic efforts of Resistance Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo in order to save the last of their surviving rebels, Phasma had a final confrontation with Finn, calling him a "bug in the system". Finn attacked her with his Z6 baton, and after a short duel, Finn delivered a debilitating blow to Captain Phasma's own helmet, knocking her into an pit and then rendering one of her eyes visible through the damaged helmet. Captain Phasma had glared at Finn as she told him that he was "always scum", before falling to a fiery death in the burning remains of the command vessel *Supremacy* interior.
