## Biography

### Early Life

Being born a non-human on Naboo, Tanir was subject to passive, cultural and racial discrimination from an early age. While her parents were free people, they were confronted with consistently worsening restrictions for non-humans in the Imperial system, ultimately relocating to the moon of Rori, before once again relocating to Iridonia.

Tanir, too young to be troubled by her parent's difficulties, grew up having seen many different homes, developing within her a strong wanderlust. Combined with a natural curiosity and a clear aptitude for combat, Tanir learned to become a hunter for her adoptive tribe on Iridonia. While initially happy with this arrangement, an Imperial attack on her home left her distraught, and pushed her to join the Rebel Alliance, where she would join the regular infantry initially.

After having shown both tactical creativity and exceptional bravery, Tanir was offered further training to join the Special Forces, which she accepted. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Tanir was often operating far behind enemy lines, performing strategic target elimination, sabotage and espionage.

Following the formation of the New Republic, Tanir moved to the new structure, and participated in several operations to unseat Imperial warlords from worlds. However, during the Thrawn Campaign, Tanir's unit was unable to hold a corridor open to escape the oncoming Imperial forces. However, through luck and skill, she managed to evade capture and return to Republic Command just in time to witness the surrender of Coruscant.

### Operation Second Dawn

After Grand Admiral Thrawn's onslaught came to an end, New Republic Special Forces immediately began planning for counter-offensives and disruption operations. One of these operations is Operation Second Dawn, a destabilisation campaign with the goal of creating new and disruptive rebel cells within weakly held Imperial territory.

While assessing the viability of creating new anti-Imperial cells in the Arkanis Sector, Tanir met and encouraged the Mandalorian Reiwe Jendri and her friend, Bu'kara's plan to form a low-key citizen militia in Mos Eisley, Tatooine, with a primary focus on opposing the exploitation of the locals by the Hutt Cartel. Tanir would secure New Republic support for the militia and promise guarantees of self-determination in the case of an Imperial withdrawal.

Following her success on Tatooine, Tanir was reassigned to assist operations on Rori, with her primary objective being to steadily turn the population of New Restuss to rise up against their Imperial rulers, though would find much hesitation. Despite her best efforts, the population of Rori was cowed into hesitation by the planet's recent history, having been a high profile and vicious battlefield of the Galactic Civil War.

After a chance encounter by Vivi and Zurayaga with an Imperial probe droid, Tanir organised a rescue operation from the now trapped civilians, that would also double as a front for an operation to eliminate another of the remaining Inquisitors. However, while the civilians were successfully evacuated, the Inquisitor remained undefeated, and the New Republic Special Forces frustrated at the lost opportunity.

While investigating the entrapment of other civilians at a site on Tatooine, Tanir forced a hostile confrontation with the Miraluka Esieda, believing her to be an Imperial agent luring suspected Force-sensitives to be captured by Inquisitorius forces. After the confrontation was resolved by Esieda revealing her nature as a Miraluka to Tanir, she let her go after justifying her actions, mostly to herself.

In the absence of General Kemmi Sotoni, Tanir took interim charge of Operation Second Dawn, primarily directing it's resources to a relief operation on Dantooine. This plan was quickly taken out of her hands by the New Republic Navy admiralty, who orchestrated it into an operation to secure a steady foothold on the planet to work into a full-scale liberation, the first offensive action taken in the conflict by the New Republic in over a year. In this process, Tanir was forced to ask Reiwe Jendri and Bu'kara to divert their planned operation to recover ion mines to instead assist Black Squadron in eliminating a sensor and comms jammer that was inhibiting the Navy's ability to coordinate an attack.

After the success of the operation to disable the comms jammer, Tanir regrouped with Reiwe and Bu'kara to apologise for getting them involved in New Republic military affairs, and vowed to not let it happen again.

## Personality

Tanir is a very upfront personality, rarely leaving room for interpretation on what she means. She holds an immense disdain for the Empire, and frequently openly and brazenly disrespects it's members when covert. With friendly or neutral people, Tanir will generally show kindness and altruism, often giving up valuables to those that she deems to be in greater need.
