## History

### Abduction

Jade was stolen from Earth before the rift opened in 2016 and was biologically altered while she was in stasis to be a breeding slave. Her abduction year and history before *The Buoyant Star* remain unknown.

### Buoyant Star

Jade was awakened from stasis along with three other women by szzt pirates who committed a mutiny aboard *The Star* in order to “amuse the crew.” Some time after Jade was awakened, another mutiny broke out between the pirates, splitting the crew in half. Most of the pirates snuck out of the ship in the middle of the night with 20 stasis pods while the two remaining crewmen abandoned ship in fear of the other pirates coming back or being caught by authorities; leaving behind the four women and the remaining 132 sleeping people stranded.

### Corsairs: Adiron

Jade, Alice, Ruth and Helen spent three years aboard *The Star* figuring out how some of it worked. They survived by bringing in cruiser ships to board them by sending out a distress beacon, putting on “slave” outfits to get their targets guards down, locking their victims in a room while filling it with gas that causes temporary memory loss, stripping the cruisers of any supplies and then sending their victims back into space. When *The Darkened Eye* finds them with the beacon the women sent out, they try the same trick on Straik, Kaspar and Adiron. Their plan goes well until the end when an electric current sent out by the other ship knocks the women out cold and their all taken prisoner.

Aboard *The Eye,* the women are interrogated individually. Jade is interrogated by Adiron; who immediately fell for her, in the ships mess hall and she tells him about how she robbed other ships and the people in stasis after he got her drunk on sweet juice without her realizing until it was too late. She wakes up hours later in Adirons quarters alone, he put her in his bed so she could sleep off her hangover and to help her feel safe. She spends time with Adiron and wants to trust him, but she feels protective of her friends and the people in the pods if she misplaces her trust. Jade is later reunited with her friends and is told about the ice field *the Star* will be heading into and how they will die within a month if they don’t go with the crew. Jade and the women ask if they could return to their ship in order to discuss their options and then give their answer in the morning. The men agree with Adiron accompanying them as their “hostage” to insure there’s no distrust. During the night, Straik decided to go talk to his uncle about what to do about his situation. He ends up leaving the brothers and the women behind and taking off for Risda III, accidentally taking a hiding Ruth on his ship. Jade and the others make a plan to send a group of two in escape pods; Kaspar with Alice and Mathiras with Helen, and how they will come back in a month. Jade decides to stay on the ship with Adiron.

When Jade and Adiron are alone, he decides to ask Jade on a date in order to cheer her up and woo her. The date makes her happy and she grows attracted to him more. They end the date date with passionate love making and become lovers.

A month later, Jade an Adiron are still onboard the ship without any word from anyone. They are later boarded and taken hostage by pirates led by Shaalyn; Adirons ex. Jade plays dumb in order to make the pirates think she’s unthreatening; planning to use that to her advantage when the time is right, and is able to hide a blaster she hid in her large cleavage in the pirate ships bathroom to use when the time is right. While being held captive on Shaalyn’s ship, Jade is shocked to learnshe’s pregnant with Adirons baby and is afraid that she might have it terminated by Shaalyn. She’s put into a ice stasis pod (but not before punching Shaalyn in the face) until she and Adiron are rescued by Zoey and the crew of Jabberwock and gets pulled out of stasis.

Jade wasn’t sure how Adiron would react to her pregnancy, but after a few days on their way to Jerroks station; she finally tells him and he’s absolutely ecstatic over the news. This makes Jade happy since she loves Adiron and wants a family with him on *the Little Sister*
