Background
Joining the Rebellion: Accidental Rebel
Her stewardship on a colony planet was (surprisingly) the sole casualty of the Empire discovering its existence. Well, that, and any semblance of freedom or ideas about saving resources for colonial growth instead of sending them to feed the Empire's war machine. After all, can't have one of those disgusting aliens in a position of power. Not expecting to live long under the new, puppet colonial government, she ran.
Relationship with the Empire: Justified Avengers
Aisa had a comfortable, if somewhat hardscrabble and challenging life before it was turned upside down. She takes a measure of pride in subverting the expectations that the Empire has of her kind .
Motivation
Motivation: Economic Connection
Since her joining, her original colony of Varin III has been subsumed beneath a general desire to break the chains of all small planets and colonies under the Empire's thumb.
