Legend

this grizzled X'Ting fighter was one of the recruits who joined the Desert Wind terrorist group to fight against the Five Families during the height of the Clone Wars. A farmer by trade, Resta and her husband worked hard to eke out an existence in the desert near Kibo Lake. When the Five Families raised energy prices to the outlying areas - a move meant to ensure that their secure bunker was properly protected - Resta and her husband were unable to survive without extra income. Her husband went to work in the mines, but died from exhaustion. Rather than stand by and lose her farm, Resta answered the call sent out by Jedi Master Kit Fisto and the ARC trooper known as Nate. After training with them for several weeks, she joined Desert Wind to strike back at the Five Families and their control over Cestians. She was the only X'Ting to survive the training process with the clone troopers, but she fought for the same thing her comrades did: equal rights and freedom for the workers of Ord Cestus. She earned the respect and gratitude of the AFRC trooper known as Jangotat, after he was brought to the Zantay Hills to recover from injuries sustained during a raid on the Desert Wind encampment. When Jangotat launched a desparate mission to root out the Five Families from their secret bunker, Resta refused to remain behind, even though Jangotat gave her the A-98 Tac Code 12 phrase to receive compensation from the Republic. The only way Jangotat got her to stay behind was to incapacitate her in a swift sleeper hold, rendering Resta unconscious before she could protest.
