Once a trained pilot for The Galactic Empire, now a defect in the ranks of The Rebellion.
Zal saw the atrocities that The Empire committed first hand and was ordered to bomb civilian targets once too many.
She knew that The Empire had to be stopped. It was no longer The Senate that she once believed in. She decided that her skills and know-how would be valuable in the hands of The Rebellion, so she switched sides.
Now she acts as a security expert, conducting counter-intelligence and cover spying missions behind enemy lines.

The Republic:
Zal believes in the Republic and all it stood for. She is determined to restore it in all its glory (and hopefully what it was before corruption set in).

Counter-Intelligence (5):
As a defect from the Empire, Zal knows that the survival of the Alliance depends on its ability to hide from the Empire and avoid complete destruction at the hands of its overwhelming military superiority. To this end, she wants to hunt down and eliminate enemy agents and threats, feed false information to Imperial Intelligence Networks (IIN) and cover the movements of all Alliance assets from observation and reporting.
