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 Mannett 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, and while she was moved to Nar Shaddaa and given a much better workshop, she still worked as a repairwoman 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.

When Cassandra was 21, the Cartels brought her in on another job - working as chief mechanic for one of their primary racing teams. Meeting the pilot, (Name), she quickly became good friends with the other woman, falling in love soon after.

Today, she still maintains the image of a polite, quiet repairwoman on the outside, while to (Name) those who ask for her 'special services' she is practically a mad scientist, though a loving one in (Name)'s case. She chafes under the control of the Cartels, however, knowing that just one slip-up with her weapons work or one lost race on the part of (Name) could have dire consequences, and is looking into options to get herself and (Name) out from under their thumb and pursue her own path to technological innovation...

Innovation/Invention - While working on improving traditional weapons and repairing equipment is what pays her bills, Cassandra has always sought the Technological challenge of inventing new equipment, especially weapons and droids. While working on Cartel projects, she will often pursue her own personal projects as well, and then might market the result if it's useful enough as a weapon. Though she will also advance technology through her work on (Name)'s racing craft.

Blackmail (20 Points) - The Hutt Cartel killed Cassandra's parents to get her to make weapons for them. However, they have fabricated evidence which would say that Cassandra herself was the one behind their 'accident', which will be released to the public if she ever stops working for the Hutts.

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 is her 'uniform' as a repairwoman.
