Eire Willamina Solus

Eire Willimina Solus was a female Polydroxol Mandalorian captain who was in command of the Gamma-1 and Sabertooth squad. Born on Sevetta in 686 ABY, she was banished from the planet when she was mistakenly accused of killing her brother. She ended up on Dathomir and discovered her Force sensitivity before joining with a group of Nightsisters for some time. When the Nightsisters attempted to kill her, she quickly left Dathomir and rejected the ways of the Nightsisters. Teaming up with a retired spice dealer named Herroth, she went to Nar Shaddaa for a job. She helped him sober up as he helped her find her way in the galaxy. Herroth was able to become a cunning pilot and piloted on the ships Eire served on.

Eire ended up working as a bounty hunter for a powerful Hutt named Vaggon the Hutt. Using a ship known as The Ripper, Eire took down Vaggon's enemies across the galaxy. After taking down numerous targets and enemies of Vaggon, the Cartel saw Eire as a threat and tried to eliminate her. Eire was forced to kill Vaggon and leave Nar Shaddaa. On her way out, she was attacked by Vaggon's bounty hunters. They almost killed her before she was saved by a Mandalorian named Allison Willimina Skirata. Eire showed potential and was offered to join the Mandalorians.

As a Mandalorian, Eire quickly climbed the ranks, showing competance and ingenuity during every mission. Though The Ripper had been destroyed, she amassed the credits she had left to order the construction of a Nova-class battlecruiser. Eire modified it as she saw fit. Dubbing the starship Gamma-1, Eire traversed the galaxy, doing missions for the Mandalorians. When the Second Mandalorian Civil War occured, Eire joined the Loyalists. She participated in the Defense of Manda, maintaning its position as a Loyalist-held planet. Her efforts, however, were in vain. The Mandalorian Civil War ended. Eire was admitted into the new Mandalorians and eventually married the leader of the Loyalists, Lucius Veshok.

Early Life
Eire was born under the name Sertah Larrick to Daertan and Serra Larrick in 686 ABY in Arrun, Sevetta. Her father was a high ranking man and her mother was an officer. She had one brother, Sertan. Eire stayed on Sevetta for most of her life, training to become an officer like her mother. Sevetta had a high honor system. There were numerous trials for Eire to do before she became an officer.

Sertan shared Eire's ambition to join the Sevettan Police Force and the two thusly did their trials together. However, Eire was outperforming Sertan in almost every way. In 921 BBY, Daertan announced that he was stepping down from his position. Eire was chosen to inherit the position, which she graciously accepted. Sertan was jealous, however. He decided to kill her during their next training session. The two, training near a volcano, had an argument before Sertan attempted to push Eire into a volcano. Eire, using the Force for the first time, blasted Sertan back, into the volcano.

Daertan was outraged at this. Though Eire insisted it was in defense, Daertan denied Eire's claims and stripped her of her title. She was banished from Arrun and most other towns had been ordered to banish her too. Eire lived alone for five years before an unknown Sith on Sevetta met her and offered to train her. Eire was taken to a Star Destroyer. There, she learned of the Sith plot to take over the Empire and rule the galaxy again. Eire quickly left the Sith and attempted to join the Jedi.

The Jedi didn't seem right for Eire either. She saw many of them as hypocrites. Hearing of a group of Force users that weren't Jedi or Sith, she went to Dathomir to search for them, leaving the Jedi. She traveled Dathomir for months before she was discovered by the Nightsisters. A Nightsister attempted to attack her. Eire defended herself and killed the Nightsister before mimicking most of her features. Other Nightsisters saw this and were very impressed. They offered to take Eire in and train her.

Nightsister
The Nightmother trained Eire in the ways of the Force. Over the span of decades, Eire became one of the top Nightsisters in her clan. She did numerous missions for the Nightsisters, which worked for Eire's betterment. The clan focused on stealth and infiltration. Since Eire was a shapeshifter, she was practically in her natural habitat. Of course, this life did not last.

Eire did not have the cold heart necessary to be a Nightsister. She was merciful, reasonable, and kind. The other Nightsisters saw this as a weakness, though they knew how she fought so they left her alone. However, one event in particular drove Eire off the edge. The Nightsisters were torturing a spice dealer named Herroth Ker. Herroth had once had a somewhat decent life, but that has long since passed.

The Nightsisters tortured the man while Eire pleaded for them to stop. She saw the torture unnecessary and cruel. When he attempted to defend himself, the leader of the group, Juno, cut his legs off at the knees with a lightwhip and began choking Herroth with a spice flask. Eire pleaded for Juno to stop torturing the man, but Juno deemed Eire as 'not a Nightsister' and attacked her.

Eire defended herself and was forced to kill the Nightsisters attacking her. During the fight, Herroth had passed out. When the fight was over, Eire woke him up and consoled him. As he came to, he offered her passage on his personal shuttle. The two went to Nar Shaddaa and parted ways for a while. Eire took up a human appearance and adoped the name 'Eire'. She took up bartending in Little Y'Toub Bar while Herroth went to rehab.

When Little Y'Toub was shut down due to low funds, Eire was jobless again. She quickly found herself needing money to pay for the apartment she had bought.

Freelancer
Eire, retaining much of her training from the Police Corp. on Sevetta, began taking notice of people with bounties on their heads. She started using her bare fists as weapons, but the money she collected quickly allowed her to buy better weapons, including a pair of Bryar rifles, which she quickly converted into Bryar pistols, her trademark weapon.

As the competition got tougher, Eire became more creative to compensate. Before long, she was the most successful freelance bounty hunter on the Promenade at the time. This caught the notice of several other bounty hunters, who attempted to kill her to eliminate competition. None were successful. Crime lords began to notice Eire. The Hutt Cartel wanted her first.

Working With the Hutts
Several Hutts wanted Eire as their personal bounty hunters. Eire graciously accepted the offer. She would receive extra funding from the Hutts, but she could not accept contracts from anybody else. While it did limit her pickings a bit, the bounties Eire pursued were high-paying hits and she was able to keep anything she wanted that the Cartel didn't want from her targets.

These contracts provided her with credits, allowing her to afford more weapons and pay for her apartment. She was on-call; if a Hutt needed her, they'd call and she'd do what they wanted her to do. Eire did not like spending money. It was rare that she spent on things she didn't need. Her apartment was almost bare, though she had the money to fully furnish it in new, luxurious furniture with plenty of money left over.

A high-paying offer was sent to Eire by Vaggon the Hutt. Vaggon controlled a massive portion of Nar Shaddaa at the time. The Hutts were currently battling the reborn forces of the Exchange criminal syndicate. Eire accepted the offer and was solely employed by Vaggon.

Vaggon's Bounty Hunter
Eire's first job for Vaggon was a low-risk job requiring her to hunt down a bartender in a bar on the Promenade. She performed well on this job, resulting in Vaggon giving her a riskier job. As she continued to do riskier jobs, the credits continued to roll in, the pay increasing each job she took. Within a few years, she was Vaggon's chief bounty hunter.

With the money she'd acquired, she purchased a downsized ShaShore Frigate. She replaced much of the crew with automated controls and droids, but kept some of them. She hired the only pilot she knew: Herroth Ker. Herroth had finished rehab and was taking up piloting. He had competed in several flying competitions and won. When Eire asked him to fly for her, he immediately joined up with her.

The frigate known as The Ripper took Eire around the galaxy to look for people with sizeable bounties on their heads posted by Vaggon. When one smuggler left Vaggon's cartel and killed some of his men, he posted a sizeable bounty on his head. The man, named Dash Aria, continued to cross Vaggon until the bounty on his head was one of the highest Vaggon had ever posted.

Hunt of Dash Aria
Eire took The Ripper to Tatooine, Dash Aria's home planet. She followed his trail from Tatooine to Corellia, where she was not only fed incorrect intel, but her offenses caused her to get banned from Corellia. A faint trail led to Taris, where Aria was hiding. Eire took The Ripper to Taris to find Dash Aria. There, she teamed up with multiple bounty hunters.

The informant, Warren, betrayed Eire and kidnapped her. When she broke out, she was able to find Dash Aria leaving Taris. She took The Ripper back into space where she shot down Dash Aria's ship. The fight resulted in the destruction of several skyscrapers. Eire payed for some of the damage, but depended on the credits being provided by Dash Aria's bounty.

Betrayal
Upon returning to Nar Shaddaa, Eire found herself met with hostility from Vaggon. Teaming up with multiple bounty hunters to take down Dash Aria and killing multiple valuable Hutt assets along the way forced Vaggon to post a bounty on her head. Eire was forced to fight her way out of Vaggon's palace, resulting in the deaths of several guards and, eventually, Vaggon himself.

Vaggon's death left a void in Nar Shaddaa and the Hutt Cartel. Vaggon's territory descended into civil war. As the Exchange took the opportunity to take parts of Vaggon's territory, Vaggon's heirs squabbled over his palace. Eire herself left Nar Shaddaa, only to be hunted by a large fleet of bounty hunters. A battle commenced in Nar Shaddaa's orbit, resulting in the destruction of The Ripper. Luckily for Eire, a Mandalorian named Allison Willimina Skirata was able to save Eire and some of her crew from their death. Eire, proving prowess in the fight, was offered to join the Mandalorians.

Mandalorian
Eire proved to be an asset to the Mandalorians. The Mandalorians, who had just recently been pushed from their homes by the Sith, were forced to work silently, something Eire was good at. As Eire did more missions for the Mandalorians, her rank increased. The last of her credits from her bounty hunting days were spent on a new ship, a Hapan Nova-Class Cruiser known as Gamma-1.
