History

The Queens Hand

The Queens Hand.

Even at a young age Petra was space happy. Her mother was the second in command of a Hapan Nova class Queens Handand took Petra with her on her travels. Malin was a good woman and taught her daughter everything she knew about Hapan ships. She also taught Petra how to fight.

Petra became fond of Knives. Oh she did well with hand blasters but she was an expert when it came to Vibroknives. She found that knives were more useful on ships then blasters. But soon Malin saw her daughter was ready to go to Hapes to train. This became the Highlight and how young Petra ,then 15, how to command and fly a capital ship.

One year later back on the Queens hand she returned to her ship soon enough. She had trained hard for the weapons officers. while not a commissioned officer her familiarity made her a logical for her to take the post.

Four years passed uneventful for the girl until one day death came. Three Pirates were running from the Nova and would have been easy prey. Little did the crew what was closing to aft till the ship rocked with a direct hit on the weaken aft shields. Bringing the ship about they saw to there horror that not only were they outside the ort cloud, but a Corona Class Frigate was closing to port and hammering at their shields.

Petra did her best with the Weapons and shields but to no avail. Despite all her efforts the bridge took a direct hit. she targeted the Corona with the last Ion cannon and hit the aft section of the frigate and the ship stopped still.

Petra moved over to her mother...only to find her with a piece of metal running through her heart. Standing up after feeling no pulse Petra looked about the bridge for the next in command and realised she was the only one on the bridge standing. It dawned on her that she was in command with no other senior staff to take command.

Petra moved to the coms console. First she checked to see if the officer had activated the Distress Beacon. then she opened a ship wide com and issued the one command she never wished to give. "All Hands. This is the Bridge. Scuttle what you can destroy what you can't and abandon ship. Repeat All hands abandon ship."

Then she moved to the helm and set a new set of coordinates and set ramming velocity. Then Remembered nothing as a stabbing pain cut into her back and slammed into her head.

OCC note: this is all fiction i am a new player to SWC.

Awaking

Petra in Bacta Tank.

The next thing Petra remembered was waking up in a Bacta tank with no idea how she got there. There was a medic droid and a human male of her own species looking in on her. the man wore and Imperial Uniform and spoke calmly to her. "Chief Petra. Nod if you can understand me."

Petra nodded as the man continued. "Would like to get out of the tank?"

Petra nodded twice and was ejected from the tank Dried and laid on a medical bed with the back up. The officer sat on a stood next to her his dark eyes on her face. Telling her that she was on the VSD Endurance heading into Hapes Space. He told her that only 15 of her crew survived and the Corona and the Queens Hand were gone.

The Medical Droid approached and told her in it's flat voice. They needed to get her back in the tank to finish healing her back scar. She looked at the droid. Petra shook her head and spoke the first time since she was out of the tank.

"The Sith if I remember correctly, say Pain is a good teacher. I wish to keep the scar as a memory and lesson of what i have lost."

The droid grumbled and walked away. Petra sat in the bed waiting for something to happen. She closed her eyes, and all the memories flood her her mind goes into chaos. she needed peace of mind. Soon however, she realised a truth the sith had taught for ages. Peace was indeed a lie. an Illusion. To maintain the illusion requires Discipline. She soon found her peace threw disciple.

Ever since that day she meditates an hour each day a mental Disciple she found helps her with each days events and thought of a horrid truth during on that Star Destroyer trip to Hapes. Petra prayed to Queen Mother she was wrong.

Betrayal and Flight

When Petra landed she made her way to the training ground. She moved to the one person Petra trusted. Petra found the Mandalorian at the sparing arena. She had been there for a long as Petra could remember.

"Su cuy'gar," The woman spoke to Petra. Her voice cold harsh, yet for for the young woman, it was safety and security.

"Indeed Mirtex," Petra's voice was calm and collected. "I need information."

"I know but it is dangerous for you here verd'ika. If what you want to know is if the Noble houses set you up then the answer is yes. Next you will want Advice. All i can tell you is that Hapes is no longer safe for anyone of the name Petra. My advice would be to go with the Imperials. If they are as smart as you. they will put what we know together, they will accept you."

"I see," Petra was so alone right then. But then Mirtex did something she had never done she removed her helmet to look into the eyes of the last of the Petra family.

"You need to be strong now," the mandalorians voice was a shade softer. "You have lost much verd'ika. Hopefully you can gain from such loss. Learn to fight back."

With that the Mandalorian placed one of her Vibroknifes sheath and all into the young petra's hand. then she spoke a phrase in Mando'a: "Ijaat verd'ika."

Petra to Mirtex surprise answered in mando'a. "Burc'ya vaal burk'yc, burc'ya veman."

With that Petra returned to the shuttle that dropped her off and left with the other Imperials knowing she would never return to her homeland.

Finding a New Family

At heart Petra was always a Fighter and she joined the Imperial Navy with high hopes and met the man whom she would fall in love with. Being drawn to the dark silent nature of Skyron Cyneran the two developed a close bond and soon after she graduated were married.

Now she has her place in the world and she hopes nothing will change that.
