Background
Shivenia was born to a merchant family, aboard a large traders vessel. Her mother and father plied the Hyperlanes of the Mid and Outer Rim. Buying from the bigger systems, selling to small outposts, low tech worlds and mining colonies.
Shivenia was always a calm child, always polite, but the Sullustian drive to explore was always there. She loved getting to drive the little speeder they owned when they landed on remote colony planets, always wanting to explore.
Once she reached school age her family decided to put her into boarding school, an education was important. They chose Neimoidia for its location on their regular trading rout, and the highly regarded education provided. Shivenia hated it! But her family came back regularly to visit.
Years went by, Shivenia grew up and eventually got into college... but she also got her license. She was studying Law, although not the smartest student she could apply herself to something and achieve her goal. She had a small job serving in a dinner, saving all her money she bought a speeder and finally her freedom from the boredom of school life. It was also then that she discovered racing.
Initially Shivenia was just seeing how fast she could race from school to work, but soon she would go on long drives to find ever more interesting roads. Then one evening she accidentally stumbled upon a group of street racers, she felt immediately at home. Her speeder was a little tricked out, with a couple of simple mods, but this was a whole new world.
But one race ended bad, Shivenia crashed hard and destroyed her prized speeder. In hospital recovering Shivenia's mother found out, the raced to Neimoidia where they berated her for such reckless action. They told her how dare she undermine all that they had given, they where so upset they flew off never to return.
College came and went, she graduated and got a job in the local Law Enforcement office, mainly doing paperwork, but eventually going through basic training, where the instructor discovered her exceptional driving ability. He recommended her for a high speed patrol course and she ended up out on the street.
That's when Plo entered her life. A young Neimoidian with a habit of lying, but also a cunning officer. They didn't exactly get along, she kept things buy the book trying to hide her racing life... he did nothing by the book. Weeks of beating the streets together and she felt he needed to know the truth, he had a lot of connections himself to the underworld, but could he really be trusted?
Then one day he didn't show up for work. Worried she started checking his usual haunts, and eventually found him in a little caff shop down in a nearby industrial sector. He was bloody, tired, and looking down... he told her the story.
Turns out their Chief was actually a major Drug Dealer, he had used the Police force to hid his activities and now he had killed an old friend of Plo's. Plo was a dead man if he didn't hide, and Shivenia was going to help.
They headed off to an old workshop owned by a legendary racer, he had experience hiding people and it was time to call on his help.
