Legend

this young woman joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin, choosing a life of possible adventure over motherhood or a boring job. She was based on Etti IV, working aboard the Kalla's Stanchion as a supplies and requisitions agent. She had hoped to meet Han Solo, but was frustrated by his growing attraction to Leia Organa. She found herself flying aboard the Millennium Falcon when the Kalla's Stanchion was attacked by Imperial forces, and Han was forced to transport Leia to a meeting on Aguarl III. Their first jump into hyperspace went as planned, taking them to a remote corner of the galaxy. However, a distress call forced them to break off the rest of the jump. They found the remains of a ship that crashed on an uncharted planet, but the crew had been consumed by the native wildlife. Han and Chewbacca almost met the same fate, but Leia and Deena managed to reach them in time to blast them free. It was in the quiet time following the battle that Deena realized she had joined the Alliance for the wrong reasons. Instead of searching for her own future, Deena resolved to work harder at ensuring a better future for the rest of the galaxy. She was part of the "command crew" that was assigned to pose as Imperial officers aboard the Nuna's Twins during the Alliance's attempt to infiltrate the labor colony on Kalist VI. Shan pretended to be a science officer, assigned to the Nuna's Twins to investigate fuel consumption at various Imperial outposts. Her backstory, as well as her good looks, caught the attention of Imperial Captain Roshuir, who agreed to work with her to locate the Alliance forces that abmushed the Nuna's Twins.
