Originally born on Despayre, a penal/slave world in the Horuz system. Her mother died during during childbirth, and she was taken in by an old expert mechanic, Jergar Ravecot. He had lost his daughter when he was forced into slavery to help construct the Death Star. Karalea was twelve years old when she started work on the Death Star under the tutelage of Jergar. Unfortunately he was worked to death during the final months of construction, and Karelea was able to escape during the chaos after the Death Star was destroyed and Empire forces were re-deployed across the galaxy. She's been drifting from system to system since that time doing odd jobs and trying to keep her skills active. Due to where she started her work, she has a very solid understanding of imperial technology.

Karelea is motivated by Emancipation. As a slave worker on the Death Star, she was worked for the better part of a decade with no pay and little rest. She has a very strong distaste for slavery of all forms, including droids as servants.

Karelea has an Obsession with machines and understanding technology. She's gotten herself into trouble when she hyperfocused on machinery when she had to move on or complete a job. Rather than just fixing things, she wants to know how all things mechanical function. It's more than simply a passion for her, it drives her work and feels like her life's purpose.

Karelea is a quiet and small 23 year old human mechanic. She mostly keeps to herself, but has a passion for machinery and droids. The machinery and parts speak to her in a way that other people don't.
