Legend

this young human female (about fifteen years of age) was a dancer in a Mos Eisley club frequented by Imperial soldiers. She often performed provocative dances, a sharp contrast to her innocent nature. She was simply working to support her family's moisture farm. The Imperials wanted to have their way with her, but she fled to her family's farm. There, the Imperials killed her brother Kamma as she escaped again, this time fleeing into the southern desert. There, after a shot from her punch gun, Shaara knocked the Imperials into the Pit of Carkoon. Unfortunately, Shaara's speeder was disabled, and she, too, fell into the pit. All but one of the Imperials and Shaara herself were swallowed quickly. The remaining Imperial uncharacteristically saved Shaara from one of the Sarlacc's tentacles, and was captured himself. The Sarlacc then grabbed her, but instead of dragging her into its maw, it flung her out of the pit. It may have been because she was still dressed in her metallic dancer's outfit, or it may have been that the Sarlacc knew she was in trouble and helped her. No one will ever know.
