Cassandra Worner grew up in a family of mechanics on Ord Mantell, and was herself gifted with incredible mechanical aptitude from an early age. Her parents taught her everything they knew, with the intent of letting her inherit the family repair business in Mannet Point once she was old enough.

However, while Cassandra loved her parents, and was alright with the idea of inheriting the shop, part of her craved greater challenge. She quickly outstripped her parents' abilities, and began taking Holonet courses from prestigious technical colleges. She started tinkering with various items in her spare time, both things in the shop and stuff she found around town.

One day, when Cassandra was 15, she was working on a large cluster of unassembled parts, and managed to put them together to form what she would learn was a rather rough blaster pistol. She kept it hidden from her parents, since they never worked with weapons, and would frown upon her for having made one. However, a few days later, she was practicing with it outside of town when someone else found her, and expressed interest in the crude weapon. She learned the other person worked for the Hutt Cartels, and was impressed with her work.

The two got to talking, and she mentioned her home situation. The Cartel henchman asked. "If you could get your parents out of the way, would you be able to make more weapons?" She considered it, and decided that yes, making weapons for the Hutt Cartel would be a suitable challenge. After Cassandra said this, the Henchman left, saying to 'leave everything to him'.

Just two days later, her parents died in a 'tragic accident', leaving Cassandra in charge of the shop. She was soon visited by the Cartel Henchman, who revealed that the accident was no accident—as he had promised, her parents were now 'out of the way'. Cassandra was horrified, but given that the henchman wasn't offering her a choice, threatening to 'expose' her to the authorities as being behind the accident if she refused, she followed through on her part of the 'bargain' and began selling weapons to the Hutt Cartels, though she kept the family business running as a 'legitimate cover'. While she realized that the challenges that the Hutt Cartel offered, such as weapons with concealed illegal modifications, or reprogramming droids as assassins, were making her happier than anything she had ever done in the past, things her parents would never have agreed to let her do, she detested the Cartels for the lengths they went to to secure her services. While she would occasionally sell her 'specialty wares' discreetly to common criminals or Black Sun, her primary clients were still the Hutt Cartels, using the threat of 'exposure' to keep her under their thumb. She also built and maintained several droids to help out around the shop.

Then one day, two years ago, a group from the Pale Redeemers came to Mannett Point. While they accomplished their tasks, they also came across Cassandra's shop - and Cassandra, sensing an opportunity, made a deal with them: they kill the Hutt blackmailing her and his lackeys, she goes with them and offers her services to whoever they work for. The deal was struck, the Hutt killed, and Cassandra was spirited offworld.

Cassandra now lives aboard the Pale Redeemers' flagship, with her own personal workshop, helping to maintain their weapons and armor, and striving to give them the very best in both. She has also begun branching out, to design the occasional high-performance fighter for them...

Cassandra is a 21-year-old Human female, who stands at 5'6" with fair skin and a slender build, possessing short red hair and blue eyes. She typically tends to wear the black mechanics jumpsuit that was her 'uniform' when she ran the shop on Ord Mantell, though she has created a set of armor of the same color scheme that she uses in battle.
