## Pre-Campaign History

Naari knows little about her early childhood, mostly vague memories of being an orphan on the streets of Shili. The second she got the chance, Naari stowed away on a ship off-planet and never looked back, drifting from corner of space to corner of space. She became an incredibly skilled pilot, especially when it came to smuggling goods in and out of imperial space.

Naari was one of the smugglers who joined the effort on Scipio. It was unlike anything she had witnessed before. She managed to get a multitude of people off world and to safety, but on her last run she was injured, but continued her efforts, she fell unconscious as she walked out of her ship at the rendezvous point and received immediate medical attention from another Togrutan woman, Shama, who was a healer back on Shili and had come with a group of healers to pitch in for medical efforts, the two hit it off immediately.

During her recovery, she was approached by Voss Proko. He had seen what her ship had been through, and the expert flying she had done, and knew that there had to be something else there. Still haunted by her experience on Scipio, she refused him once, and continued to do what she was good at: Piloting and Smuggling--all while frequently returning visiting Shama back on Shili.

As things got serious, and Naari met Shama's family, they disapproved of the couple, citing the more 'criminal' and 'chaotic' aspects of Naari's lifestyle. The denounced the relationship, saying something along the lines, "You can have our blessing when Nerfs fly." Around that time, Naari joined the Jedi and went back and forth between the Order and doing long-haul smuggling work. She eventually came back to Shili with a new ship, modified to be a top line smuggling freighter and a cozy home, named the Flying Nerf and proposed to Shama, with their family's blessing. The couple spent several years at the Praxeum as Naari learned to be a Jedi. They also adopted two children: Ruush and Sudu.

They spent the last two years on Shili, letting the kids have a home life with on Shili while Naari took a Sabbatical from the Jedi Order.
