Narice Jassea

Narice Jassea was a Major in the Onoporan Militia and a key leader in that groups defection to the Rebel Alliance during the Demnadi Crisis in 6 ABY.

Early Life and Onoporan Militia
Narice grew up on Onopor and was always taught that duty to Onopor was the most important thing. Thus, upon reaching the legal age of 18, she signed up to serve in the Onoporan Militia, a military group mostly used to police the planet so the Imperials would not have to spare troops to do it. However, while in the Militia, Narice grew more and more disillusioned with the Empire, and eventually, in 6 ABY, convinced its leaders to switch sides and aid the Rebellion.

Demnadi Crisis
Narice was a leader of the Onoporan Militia who rose up on Onopor in 6 ABY and siezed control of the capital of Dankur, driving out its Imperial garrison and effectively taking control of the planet, as Dankur housed the only significant spaceport on the planet, as well as the fact that it controlled the planet's economy. When forces under Colonel James Rudder attempted to retake the city, Rudder was captured and brought under Narice's responsibility. The two had many long hours of back-and-forth dialogue in which not much was accomplished, but both gained a grudging respect for each other.

When Admiral Loteros decided to bomb the Onoporans out, Narice was the only Onoporan who came back to rescue Rudder from his jail cell. While doing so, however, she was knocked unconscious by a falling piece of ferrocrete, and Rudder, in return for having been saved by Narice, picked up Narice and carried her out of the building to safety, although he had to dress her as an Imperial Lieutenant. Effectively Rudder's unofficial prisoner, Narice was forced to play the part of an Imperial Lieutenant, and accompanied Rudder back to Demnadi. There, the two learned that Loteros had siezed control of the system as leader of a group called the Alliance of Independent Systems. When asked to join, Rudder agreed, and he and Narice went up to Loteros' ship.

However, a fleet loyal to the Empire arrived in-system and started a battle. During the Battle of Demnadi, Narice was able to convince Rudder to go and sabotage part of the ship, eventually settling on the bridge shields. They did so, disabling them permanently, and were brought to the bridge where they expected to die once the Imperial forces destroyed the bridge. In the face of death, Narice and Rudder expressed their love for each other, right before the bridge was destroyed and Loteros killed. Narice and Rudder survived the attack, however, and returned to Onopor, where Rudder, now as disillusioned with the Empire as Narice had been, renounced the Empire forever and joined the Rebellion. Narice and Rudder were married not long after.
