Name: Kreyn Tash Homeworld: Corellia Species: Human Career: Navy Officer Rank: Lieutenant Commander Affiliation: 145th Squadron Starship: TIE-LN Starfighter

A native of Corellia, Kreyn Tash came from a middle class family of bureaucrats and businessmen. Seeking something more noble than a life of quiet service, she sought application to the Imperial Naval Academy on Prefsbelt IV. She was one of the top students of her class, excelling at mathematics and fighter tactics. On graduation she was lined up to be assigned to a low risk, high prestige station in the Core Worlds, but she requested duty in the Outer Rim, where she knew the opportunities for combat were greater. She received her transfer to ship out to Disentis immediately after the capping review.

Stationed onboard the Persecutor, Kreyn leds a single squadron of TIE-LN fighters. Her men respected her, but she has frequently clashed with the ship's skipper, Captain Vladis, who she suspects of corruption. Despite this, she was enough of a professional to follow his orders without question. She had sometimes contemplated asking for a more independent command that would give her greater freedom to make command decisions, but she knew that it it was onboard the Persecutor that she had the best opportunity to prove herself in combat.

Kreyn was present during the Battle of Adjani, where she shot down three smuggler vessels, more than any other pilot present, and earned her ace's star. Despite her personal success, the battle was a debacle for the Imperial Navy, with the loss of the Persecutor due to engine damage causing it to crash into the planetoid. Since the remaining Imperial ships did not have sufficient fighter bays to take onboard all of the starfighters deployed from the Persecutor, Kreyn was forced to abandon her fighter as she was taken aboard the Jaeger.

She has since been promoted to Lieutenant Commander and given command of a flight of TIE-LNs based on Disentis.

Tash enjoys playing Sabac, although she is careful never to fall in with the criminal groups who often coalesce around Sabac games.
