Hailing from the once-illustrious world of Serenno, Myra Flanig was born in 21 BBY into a noble family who lost everything after the Clone Wars. Myra's family was forced to sell what possessions they had to get by, eventually limping along until they reached the end of the line: Terminus, one of the galaxy's seediest shadowport.

Myra ran away from home when she overheard her parents discussing selling her into slavery, and fell in with the criminal organization known as the Exchange. She served various roles, from flying along the spice lanes to engaging in shootouts with Black Suns and other rivals. Eventually, her work for the Exchange brought her to the Hutt moon of Nar Shaddaa, where she met former Rebel pilot Janica Halcyon. The two became friendly, and when Myra's superiors tried to have her iced to ensure she never spoke of what she knew, Myra cut ties and signed up with Janica as her bodyguard - not that Janica strictly needs the protection. Flying in the Wayfarer transport known as the Liberty, the duo make up the core of Halcyon Transport Solutions.

The Exchange wants Myra dead since she knows too much, and they are more than happy to send assassins after her to accomplish this.
