Nireema was born on Champala and grew up watching the horrors of the clone wars unfold on her family’s holoscreen. Her parents volunteered to help bring medical aid to war-stricken worlds and provide medical care to both republic and separatist soldiers alike. Following in their footsteps, she began studying medicine. Many anti-empire student organizations were active at her university, and she was swayed to the rebellion when she learned about the ghorman massacre and the multiple genocides the empire carried out. She dropped her studies and boarded a ship to the outer rim, joining a rebel cell as a medic-in-training.
