## Biography

### Legacy of the Fett's

**Mirta Vel** is the daughter of Boba Fett and Sintas Vel as well as the grand-daughter of Jango Fett. When Mirta was just a baby, her father, Boba, was forced to leave her and her mother. By the time she was sixteen, her mother was killed during a job to claim one of her bounty's, leaving Mirta alone. She then followed in her parents footsteps and became a very successful bounty hunter, and devoted many years to hunting her father down to avenge her mother's death. She eventually hunted down her father and after nearly killing him for abandoning her, though in the end she ended up entering into a partnership with the aging bounty hunter who saw fit to to pass his vast knowledge to his daughter so that she would continue the family legacy.

She continued to work with Fett on various assignments including locating her mother who had been frozen in carbonite since a year after the Battle of Yavin. Mirta would later take care of Sintas while she recovered from her time in carbon freeze. Once Vel was well enough to be on her own, Mirta left Sintas and Fett to begin their retirement together. After this Mirta struck out on her own using the knowledge she gained from Boba to become one of the most feared Bounty Hunters in the galaxy.

Mirta would continue her career around the time of the conflict with the Resistance and the First Order. During this conflict the First Order particularly Kylo Ren had established a series of Bounty's on high valued Resistance members, the most of which could be earned by capturing or killing the Jedi Luke Skywalker or his apprentice Rey. Mirta saw this as a opportunity to claim a large profit and honor her ancestors heritage of fighting against Jedi, so she saw fit to claim these Bounty's before other hunters intervened. While the Jedi took special care in keeping their whereabouts secret, Mirta was able to track the apprentice to the planet Kalarba where she would assist the Rebels in their fight against the First Order for control of the planet.

### Turning a New Leaf

After being captured Mirta revealed her agenda to her interrogators and told them that she was just doing her job. Mirta also remained calm and steady during her questioning due to her experience and training. Luke Skywalker then volunteered to question the girl seeing as the interrogators came out with little progress in breaking her. Luke entered and used the force to see into Mirta's thoughts, he saw she was a child of Boba Fett, about her rough childhood and wanting to uphold her families legacy. Mirta stood strong against the Jedi, proving herself more than able to resist his mind games. Mirta was then held for the duration of the ships voyage.

The Resistance's cruiser would be attacked by a First Order destroyer, the ship would then be boarded by stormtroopers looking to capture the ship for their own sinister purpose. By this time the Resistance had begun to fight off the oppressors and launched various fighters to destroy the boarding chutes. A group of stormtroopers managed to enter the prison cell block and released Mirta from her imprisonment. Alema Rar then appeared and questioned Mirta for her failure and blamed Rey for her misfortune. Mirta demanded compensation for not revealing any vital First Order secrets, and for being locked up, so in response Alema force chocked Mirta and prepared to kill her. Just then Rey appeared and stopped Alema from killing Mirta, while Resistance soldiers dealt with the stormtroopers. Rey then offered to help Mirta up, to which Mirta accepted. Mirta then questioned why Rey would save her when she wouldn't extend the courtesy. Rey said that it was the right thing to do, afterwards the two decided to put aside their differences and fight off the First Order's assault. Afterwards Mirta willingly gave up vital intelligence on First Order strongholds in exchange for pardon for her previous crimes. Realizing that she would be hunted down by the First Order for revealing these secrets, Mirta agreed to become a member of the Resistance, where she would become good friends with Rey despite their differences.
