| - The seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, Jal’Dana Rall’s life was supposed to be blessed. The idea would be tested many times throughout her life. As the youngest of all the children, she held a special place in her father’s heart, but being from such a large family, she worked nonstop, as did her mother. That left a lot of time to slip through the cracks. It wasn’t that her family was bad, just busy. Her father was a foreman for a mining company on Berchest, her mother a nurse for the same company and with six other siblings, attention was something that was lacking, while freedom was abundant. Always a bit of a tomboy, the lack of supervision instilled a strong sense of self, personal accountability, and resolve in the young woman.

As the youngest of all the children, she held a special place in her father’s heart, but being from such a large family, she worked nonstop, as did her mother. That left a lot of time to slip through the cracks. It wasn’t that her family was bad, just busy. Her father was a foreman for a mining company on Berchest, her mother a nurse for the same company and with six other siblings, attention was something that was lacking, while freedom was abundant. Always a bit of a tomboy, the lack of supervision instilled a strong sense of self, personal accountability, and resolve in the young woman. Her life was normal for the most part — she attended school, had friends, and knew she wanted to do anything but work in a mine. There had to be something more. At the age of sixteen, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, she went with her older brothers to the Imperial Recruiting Center to join the war. They didn’t tell her she wouldn’t have a shot. Once at the IRC, the Officer in charge turned her away. Not for her age, but because she was a woman. That sexist attitude would set in motion a series of events no one could predict.
