Morana Fal was a female born on the planet Ord Mantell. She was a criminal who was sentenced to death in gladiatorial combat in the Soruus system. She was among the combatants provided with a JX4 Gladiator Prototype battle armor in order for the model to be tested. Morana managed to escape the arena, taking advantage of a diversion created by sabotage. Subsequently, she and a group of fellow escapees committed atrocious crimes against the galactic public. Eventually, the Galactic Empire set out to hunt down the escapees. Morana, however, managed to evade the Empire, and in the process she obtained an extra JX4 armor in addition to her own.
