History

Neria and her twin sister Lilly were born in a freighter that was traveling through deep space. This ship is where she learned the the skills necessary to become a pilot at an early age. Neria's parents were both from Tatooine. But since they were freighter pilots they never returned much to Tatooine. It was a place the twins only heard of from the holovids and the stories their parents shared with them. It was difficult for the twins to make friends as they were the only children on the ship. Sometimes they would stay over on a space colony with their mother while their father would haul goods for the local companies in the area. It was easy to make new friends for both sisters, but keeping friends was more difficult as they would never stay long at a space colony. So the twins really had only each other to share their stories and secrets. Their bond was strong and nobody could come in between them.

At the age of 16 a small pirate gang entered the freighter of her youth. The rogues proceeded to loot the ship and execute everyone on board. Neria's father led the resistance, but it was no use. The pirates were far more skilled in the arts of war. They soon overwhelmed the crew. Neria's sister got separated from the group, while Neria was with her parent fighting off the pirates. Having no contact with her sister they didn't know if Lilly was still alive. With one last act of defiance Neria's father told her to run for their shuttle and get it ready for launch. Her father and friend Enrius covered her run for the ship. Her mother followed close behind. Neria reached the shuttle, boarded it and fired up the engines. She ran back down the ramp at the back of the loading bay just in time to see her mother gunned down by the pirates. Her father yelled at her to go on without them. Neria saw him and Enrius being executed by the rogues just as the shuttle left the docking bay. She didn't know what happened to her sister.

Neria escaped the carnage and flew away in tears. She decided to go to the planet of her ancestors: Tatooine, a hot, dusty hideaway. From there she started her search for her sister. First she looked on Tatooine with the help of a little Jawa. She followed rumors about pirate gangs selling people off into slavery. She kept telling herself her sister was still alive.

Eventually Neria found a lead about her sister; she followed it and it took her back to the galaxy. Visiting many places and doing small jobs, she came closer to the pirate group. After 4 years of chasing leads, she found the group in a trading station in Hutt Space. She flew to the station and searched the docking bay, where she saw a very familiar ship. There was no doubt the pirates were there. It was the ship Neria and her sister grew up on. She smuggled herself onto the ship and waited for it to leave the station. Neria had gained new skills from her rough life after that event; she learned to be sneaky and to fight and she killed the pirates one by one, only the leader she kept alive. She questioned him and found out her sister was sold off as a slave. But he had no clue of where she would be, it was such a long time ago. This was a terrible blow for Neria's morale as the only lead to find her sister came to a dead end. She killed the pirate leader. She had no clue about what to do and her search for her sister diminished. However she would still hire mercenaries or freelancers to search for Lilly to keep the hope alive that she and her sister would be reunited one day...

Rev Cozmoz and joining Byblos Drive Yards

She starts to work for Rev Cozmo a skilled business man building up his company, who is in need of pilots. Thus Neria goes to the Starport of FFC Budnik and waits for her ride. There's not much to see in Budnik and the starport is clearly not the most important one on Tatooine and there's barely any entertaiment in the city, thus Neria is sitting there staring out in front of her, when suddenly a YT-1210 called the Sledge Hammer arrives. A rather handsome man steps out and heads to the Admin. post, then heads to the cantina where Neria is waiting for days now.

He enters the cantina and sits down on the other side of the bar where Neria is sitting; he looks up and see her and smiles at her, and she gives a small smile back. He orders a Whiskey and tell the barman to bring that girl a glass of wine. The barman gives Neria a glass of wine and says from who it comes; she looks at him and accepts the drink. The man then sits next to her and they start to talk; his name Hemi Cuda, a freelance pilot, so the whole evening he tells her of his journey in space and she tells about her life on Tatooine and how eager she is to leave this place. He has to stay a few days on Tatooine so in those few days they talk and start to get feelings for each other... He offers her a place at his side but she can't, she wants to work on her own path to fame, but they will meet and spend time together every time they get the chance. And who knows maybe she will join him on his journeys

Finally her transport arrives and she's off to pick up her ship, and to start her first job as a freelancer.

Neria and Rev Cozmo become close friends, and she tells him about her life and her dreams. After a while Rev tells her to go own her own and pursue her dreams, so with her ship Rev has given to her she sets out. But freelancing is difficult if you don't have a reputation. So after a while and some ungrateful jobs she contacts Hemi and he brings her in contact with Anax Noctru. Mr. Noctru, who is planning to start up a new company, offers Neria a spot in Byblos Drive Yards. There she quickly rises up in the ranks and becomes Head of Sentient Resources, but most important Neria is close to the man she loves. Hemi Cuda who is the Head of Prospection spoiles her with many gifts, one of them is a YT-2000 called Neo.

She starts to get a reputation of being among the best recruiters in the galaxy, some don't like her because of snatching those still green in a cockpit, but many respect her for it. Most of the recruits are grateful for her help and the care and time she puts in training them. She guides and helps every recruit personally. She gains the trust of most members of Byblos Drive Yards and the members count quickly rises to more than 40. But after a while she feels HC isnt that active; she becomes frustrated by the lack of leadership plus her current relationship is slacking as well and decides to leave BDY. Followed by 3 other members, she joins Tresario Star Kingdom. Meanwhile she met Redjon Mirrabel, and he becomes a close friend to her along with Davos Markus, Kaal Derycke, Eira Cardas, Ghecko Hex, Eta Carinea, and others.

Tresario Star Kingdom

She decides to do something completely different and join the navy of TSK, where she has yet to prove her skills. She isn't a recruiter anymore, which is something she does miss doing in her previous organization. She joined TSK with Davos Markus (one of her first recruits and friends from BDY), Kaal Derycke (her little Jawa friend from Tatooine), and Redjon Mirrabel who she met in a tavern on Polis Massa and joined BDY for a short while. After one month in service she receives a promotion for her work; she gets promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade Her CO notice her work ethos and recommends her for anther promotion. At the ceremony she takes the oath and pledges her loyalty to Tresario Star Kingdom, its citizens, the King and Hall of Ministers. She gets promoted to Lieutenant. And most agree she will get very far in the navy if she keeps it up like this.
