Kaila Mair was born and raised on Sarkhai. She studied to be a doctor in the capital city of Sarkund, where she worked for her 20s. She traveled to Corusant upon word that her sister, a Republic Soldier, was killed in the coup. Upon arriving, she discovered that her sister's body was destroyed, her Visa was invalidated, and she was ordered to stay on the planet pending 'Investigation'. After several months of living on the planet alone, she was finally cleared for departure. She returned temporarily to Sarkhai in order to reconnect with family and friends that she had left in order to travel to the heart of the Empire.
