Editing Sikka Jerass (section)

====Background====

Sikka Jerass had a privileged upbringing to say the the least. Heir to a corporate dynasty, a brilliant engineer and last but not least, blessed with being in tune with the Force, like several of her ancestors. The Mirialan people are deeply religious and practice a primitive understanding of the Force, so the heir to the fortune of Jivu Inc was without a doubt destined for greatness.

It did not work out so easy however and it all came to a climax on her wedding day. Certain elements in the Empire wanted access to the technological innovations Jivu Inc could provide. Her parents were reluctant to do so, and so was Sikka. Her sister Mirza had no such qualms, even going so far as seeing the Empire as the way forward, not to mention a great source of revenue. She counts the Imperial Governor of Mirial, Jegga Mervoru as one of her personal friends.

Mirza and her Imperial allies struck at Sikka's wedding, two years ago, killing her parents and husband to be. Sikka herself only barely survived. It is her childhood friends Tuvi Guqoza and Kirr Brenna who got her out. Tuvi's father runs the Mirialan branch of The Exchange, something that always made her family look askance at her choice of friends, but now that connection paid it's dividends. They patched her up and smuggled Kirr and her out of Mirial.

Now they are on the run, their every step hounded by a mysterious Imperial agent who calls herself Kiba Ardesh...
