Brief bio: Cass Gemini (born Alessandra Robutton) was born on Corellia and lost her mother at child birth. She grew up with her father in low rent housing on its grimy streets of the worker districts. As she grew she looked remarkably like her mother which caused her farther to distance himself from her in her teen years. Her dad, a reasonable starship mechanic taught his daughter the trade but tragically became addicted to deathsticks that he used to ease pain of loosing Cass’s mother and a few weeks before Cass’s 22nd birthday he passed away at the age of 53. Cass with no one left in the world fell in with a bad crowd and began to strip stolen starships for quick credits, eventually running an underground garage and doing illegal mods for independent smugglers and other more dastardly crime factions.

In the years prior to the Galactic civil war, Cass was sought out by select members of the reclusive Techno Union to join them on one of their several space stations spread accross the fringes of Wildspace. They needed people with experience to quickly help retrofitting a small invasion fleet of captured Hapan Star fighters for a faction calling themselves The Syndicate. The credits they offered were too good to be true and enough to get her out of Corellias underbelly forever. So with nothing left to lose Cass decided to take the job and left her old life behind her.

During the Galactic Civil war good starship mechanics not conscripted were worth their weight in gold and Cass found profit travelling with a large merchant vessel which she assisted in installing illegal cloaking and signal jammers. The merchant ship however was captained by a loose lipped Dug who one drunken night told members of the darkshield of their ships capabilities. Before long the merchant vessel was tracked and eventually caught, Cass being forced into service for the enemy of the throne. A year later, during an imperial raid on a Darkshield military starship facility by the ESE Cass was captured and classed a prisoner of war along with several hundreds of others.

Cass was transferred to a reinstated obsidian mining facility on Hallion that doubled now as a death camp. Here she was given the inmate code number C724 and first met Anmetei M'lo, Redman Reed, Cal Clayborn and Darious otherwise known as prisoner P495.

During her time in that hell hole Cass and a close circle or conspirators orchestrated a prisoner riot to cover a daring escape. Cass had set depth minding charges intending to level the place. The ultimate plan was to commandeer an ore carrier that had arrived, and with as many inmates as she could get on board flee the system and then disappear into Wildspace. Unfortunately for Cass, one of the explosive charges went off prematurely blinding her and melting the bottom half of her face and neck leaving blackened bone, melted cartilage and charred muscles. Darious, or prisoner P495 as he was then known to her, was a captured rebel surgeon and was one of the few trusted inner circle of conspirators during her planning of the mass breakout. He and Anmetei luckily had found her after the accident and quickly took her to the medical room, patched her as best they could before taking her unconscious body into the waiting escape ship. Many died in that chaotic skirmish with the guards and security droids, but thanks to the Imperial secret service defector Cal Clayborn and the charismatic Federation fighter pilot Redman Reed they and close to one hundred and ten other prisoners managed to escape. Cal, with visible satisfaction, remotely detonated the charges set around the death camp as they broke from orbit. The explosion was visible even from that distance she was later told and even now she regretted being unable to see it herself.

Later, the escapists split the profit they made from sale of the captured ore ship and then went their own ways after finally reaching the fringes of wildspace. 23 ex-prisoners that day with nowhere else to go swore an oath to remain alongside Cass instead of going off alone. They decided via a vote to pool their remaining shares of the credits. With that profit they then paid for Cass’s cybernetics and with the remainder their own frigate, both purchases from a known neutral and unofficial Techno union space station Satuaun. It was that day she became their leader and Captain, and they, her family.

7 years later Cass and her crew would be recruited to work for the new Darkside regime against their will to locate and capture designs of a Gree technological super weapon from an ancient lost Rakkatan temple on the Tython System forrest world of Ska Gora.
