15 years have passed since the end of the Clone Wars, and the rise of the new Galactic Empire. The Great Jedi Purge has annihilated the once grand order of the Jedi, leaving only handfuls scattered across the galaxy, in hiding. The powerful Imperial Navy, the symbol of the Empire's oppression, patrol the Imperial domain, remaining all of the Emperor's power.
However, even under the heavy thumb of the Empire, there are still those ready to fight. Resistance cells pop up like weeds, always a thorn in the Empire's side. While most are crushed with extreme prejudice, there are those who withstand the Imperial onslaught, and continue to fight on.
It is in this galaxy in conflict that the Kepla flies. A ship of multiple purposes, its services are usually sold to the highest bidder, though sometimes it does some simple smuggling to pay the bills. You are a member of the Kepla's crew, whatever your reasons for joining were, and you'll be along for the ride as the ship thumbs its nose at the Empire, crimelords and Rebels alike.

This will be a tale of the Kepla and her crew as the ship flies through the underbelly of a galaxy in flux. With the Rebel movement on the rise, and the Empire trying to clamp down, jobs for people willing to get their hands dirty are in good supply. The captain also has no love for the Hutts or other crimelords that prey on the weak in these times of conflict, and relishes the chance to steal from the robbers.
The ship is a Maka-Eekai L4000 transport [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Maka-Eekai_L4000_transport] with little changed from the standard configuration. Only a few areas with no furnishings have been modified with secret compartments to hide smuggled goods
1. Due to the timing in-universe, I will not accept Jedi. However, I will accept a few Force Sensitives, with powers limited to powers like increased perception and weak telekinesis. I will scrutinize Force Sensitive characters harder than normal characters.
2. Droids will be accepted, but I will only accept one or two depending on how large the final roster ends up being.
3. Aside from major events/people (i.e The Clone Wars, Jedi Purge, Darth Vader, The Emperor, Luke Skywalker, etc.) I won't really fact-check changes to the universe in the RP/bios done for the sake of making an interesting story.

Biography:
Name: Lysa Estor (alias: Lisa Darwell)
Age: 57
Gender: Female
Species: Human Cyborg
Appearance: Her red hair doesn't flow far past her shoulders, but is styled to cover several scars on the side of her head and neck. It also covers the plating around her right eye, also replaced with a mechanical duplicate. She wears a long, navy blue coat that reaches all the way to her ankles. Again, an attempt to hide her cybernetic parts. A glove usually covers her left hand, and her boots are always strung to the top, even when she's relaxing. Beneath the coat, she wears a white, puffed up blouse, tucked into a pair of blue jeans. Of course, she always has her trusty blaster tucked into a holster she hides at her side. Contrasting, she has a short viroblade displayed for all to see outside the coat.
Profession: Captain of the Kepla
Equipment: Aside from her cyborg enhancements, Lysa only carries her DL-44 blaster and virobalde on her person.
Skills: Her cyborg nature gives her stamina beyond her years, though it also creates and odd disparity between what has been "enhanced" and what hasn't. Like when she's typing, her left hand goes so fast it rattles the console, while her right hand is much slower and has long, deliberate movements. Regardless of this, she has retained her sharp tongue and skill as a crack negotiator.
Biography: Born on Corellia, Lysa grew up to find she had a knack for running underground operations. As the galaxy spiraled into the mess history remembers as the Clone Wars, Lysa had amassed a good sum of credits and had a galaxy-wide network of contacts. Though, she was always hindered by a large Hutt bounty on her head, a result of a botched operation that led to her flying under the radar with a ragtag band of misfits.
Eventually, after the Empire started to "blossom", an opportunity was provided. Using her fortune and her contacts, Lysa formed her own Consortium, wanting to give the Hutts a run for their money. What came after was a war in the shadows, with skirmishes on planets few people knew of, and fleets of mercenaries blowing each other up over planets run by crimelords. Surprisingly, Lysa's weaker Consortium was able to match the Hutts blow-for-blow, able to outwit their larger forces into ambushes where their numbers meant nothing.
However, this did not last, as a betrayal from within devastated Lysa and her organization. In a move of subterfuge that would've impressed Lysa had the play not been made against her, over half of her trusted contacts turned coat and fell in league with the traitor, who then tried to kill her.
In a daring escape that left her grievously injured, her first mate dead, and the rest of her closest allies scattered, Lysa decided that she wasn't out of the game just yet. Using what little she had left, Lysa had her body rebuilt and rescued a ship from the scrapyard for her use. The past few years, the captain has been picking up the pieces, trying to start over while her enemies think her dead.
