Vana Kewlii was born on Duro, but on one of the many civilian space stations that orbited the ruined planet. Her parents worked in shipping and had been making a stop over during one of their shipping runs. Her mother went into labor during the stop over, making the stay much longer than they had anticipated. Thus Vana was born after a rather short labor time of five hours. Her parents stayed on the station for a few more days, as the company that they worked for had understood what had happened, and that the family would need more time before they could get back onto the shipping lane. Vana’s father was the pilot of the ship, while her mother was the co-pilot and was necessary. In addition, they didn’t want to ask the man to leave his family during a time like this.
