Working poor growing up, somewhat close-knit community.

She worked as a nurse at the local hospital, and joined the imperial Army after it closed down.

She was stationed on Patitite Pattuna after the winding down of the initial pacification campaign. The swamps on the planet apparently had some sort of valuable sludge, and the base was deployed there to protect the rigs and the settler population supporting the rigs, as well as a reserve to keep the indigenous workforce and imported prison labor in line.

The imperial Army was mostly capital B Boring, but she got involved in a small crime ring that added a lot of excitement and levity to her life and seeded later connections and obligations. Resistance to the empire rallied around a figure called "Giant Hay-Zu" which the imperials worked harder and harder to catch as resistance continued. As this went on, the ring went from petty crime to some more intense theft to distract from some of the casual violence toward civvies. (sometimes she had to patch them up, sometimes they couldn't be)

Stress kept accumulating, and got worse after the base started getting sporadically mortared. A lot of her connections either got involuntarily discharged (some other than honorable, some dishonorable) or didn't renew their contracts, she lasted a bit longer before getting medically discharged.

Comrades- real connection can only happen when you've been through the shit together. Her comrades make her feel alive, she's a ghost everywhere else. And her former comrades are slowly dwindling, many recovering from their service or getting worse.

This crew is an opportunity to be alive again, but right this time. We're working for ourselves, and we're not hurting people who didn't sign up for this kind of life.

(10) Blackmail- she stole or helped steal a fair bit from the empire, mostly medical supplies but sometimes specialist equipment and weapons, in ways that could avoid notice but are vulnerable to blackmail. Nobody is actively blackmailing her, but she needs to keep her old crew (who are increasingly going on differing trajectories) taken care of.

Samantha keeps taking risks, and one of these days she's going to get in over her head.

Zek's alcoholism is getting worse, and sometimes he gets disoriented, especially when his shell shock is acting up. What if he says something he shouldn't around the wrong people?

Michelle seems fine but she's made more efforts to disconnect from the little community they have, something's up with her

Gerrard got a job on the Ord Mantell imperial docks, and he's been promoted enough that he's rubbing shoulders with some dangerous imperials

(10) Debt- Sometimes her patron needs her services. Sometimes the people under her care have a price on their heads, or getting to her patient presents issues. The organization is less interested in squeezing her for money than getting the services they invested in. Sometimes the organization wants a service done that can work as a cover, "humanitarian aid" and such.

Porcag Vomp is her handler.

5' 6", she's giving Imperial British, she's giving former NCO, her accent gives her away as low class

Sprinkling of scars on the right side of her face from mortar shrapnel

Her hair is kept barely long enough to be neatly tucked back

She has a gang tattoo from the imperial base crime ring featuring a scary looking tooka with a maw full of cred-chips as teeth. It's near her shoulder and isn't visible on most cuts of clothing, but can be revealed relatively easily without revealing anything.
