Chessa Oto

Chessa Oto was a Human and member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

Early life
Chessa was born on Onderron to a farming family. She became attached to the animals used to transport them around and formed bonds with them. In 2 BBY a Nalrithian traveller came to her family's farm and asked to stay. While there Chessa noticed that the armour he was wearing bore the Rebel insignia. She asked the Nalrithian if he was a Rebel, to which he refused to answer. A few days after the traveller showed up, a squad of Stormtroopers arrived at the farm and demanded to search it for a Rebel that they believed that was there. However, the traveller, known as Kiracho Tolth, ambushed the Stormtroopers and killed most of them. The last Stormtrooper attempted to kill both himself and the Kiracho by using a thermal detonator but was stopped by Chessa's father, who launched himself at the Stormtrooper. This proved fatal, as the trooper managed to shoot Chessa's father several times. By the time the fight was over Kiracho had managed to conceal himself from the Stormtrooper, and leapt out at him. While the two fought, the trooper's blaster accidently fired and killed Chessa's mother. Chessa had been out feeding the animals and came inside just as the Stormtrooper lost his gun. Chessa picked it up and killed the Stormtrooper, injuring Kiracho in the process. Chessa asked to be taken away from the farm and go with the Rebel soldier, knowing that there was nothing there for her anymore. He agreed and took her back to his ship, the Althirian Blade and left the planet.

Kashyyyk
During her time in the Rebellion she had Kiracho train her on marksmanship. He was impressed at how quickly she learned and how much skill she had with a rifle. She was also taught how to fly several vehicles and became a skilled pilot, although not on the level of Tendra Derris, Chessa's friend who she had met shortly after joining the Rebellion. She and Tendra were stationed on Kashyyyk at an old oil refinery used during the Clone Wars. While there, she began taming katarns and trained them as mounts. When a Rebel outpost was discovered, she and her fellow soldiers left their base to help repel the Imperials. However her katarn mount was killed and Chessa and the others were forced to retreat back to their base. Only Chessa, Kam Zenabi, Segano Melan, Tendra, Adrath Gaar and Kolm Nnaut managed to make it back. She and Tendra used their sniping abilities to defend Kam while he attempted to signal his ship. However when Kolm was injured she abandoned her post in order to help him. Kam's ship, the Nighthawk managed to touch down and rescue them, and Chessa sat beside Kolm while the medical droids helped him. The two became friends after the battle.

Haalthor
After this she and Kolm were sent to Haalthor in order to help the survivors of an Imperial bombing. However the rescue was interrupted by several TIE fighters who were also searching for survivors. Chessa and five others boarded AST-5 Armoured Sentinel Transports and attempted to shoot them down. However they ran into an Imperial ambush and two of the other pilots were shot down. Chessa however managed to gun down several, with the aid of the Jedi, Jirachi Kna. They defeated the hidden Imperial forces and finished the rescue mission.
