Sherry Martwell



Born two years after the Battle of Christophsis, Sherry grew up in a war ravaged city. Her parents told her stories of how glorious and majestic the planet was before the Republic and the Confederates came and all but destroyed it. Even once the Empire took over, no aide was provided to the people of Christophsis, and Sherry saw the result of that all too well. Early in her life, her parents were murdered, leaving her to fend for herself on the streets. She'd join a gang, learning how to survive and fight, eventually, at the age of 16, becoming one of the top lieutenants of the gang. However, she always desired better, she wanted better for her planet and the people, and when the planet announced a small planetary defense fleet being constructed, she quickly took the opportunity for something better.

Her vision of making her way up in society to help her planet soon faded however. The fleet barely did anything, the local imperial garrison doing everything from inspections to fighting pirates. Her job was little more than concessions to the people of Christophsis. Even worse, when she did do things, they seemed barbaric. During a riot in the capital city, the imperial garrison ordered that the corvette she was serving to enter the atmosphere and 'scatter' the people with laser cannon fire. She had to watch in horror as her own people were cut down by those meant to protect them. She had had enough.

On her 17th birthday, she gathered together the forces she could convince to join her, all of whom shared her disgust for what was happening to their people, and mutinied, taking the ship for themselves before hyperspacing away, vowing to return to free their home world.
