Shade Laonash Kenobi

Shade Laonash Kenobi, born Elizabeth Lonta Kenobi, was the former princess of Haqua, a small Outer Rim planet. She was the leader of the Saturn 5 Navy and had a total of 291 ships under her name. Laonash flew a Type-9880-JH3, also known as an S5SSTOT(AP)E (Saturn 5 Sith Starfighter of the (Against Palpatine) Empire). Shade was a member of the Against Palpatine Sith Empire and was trained by General R2.

Laonash had long red hair, which she often kept tied back in a bun. She owned two droids, B-10PO and R2-Q4. Her best friends were R2, the president of Saturn 5, Skipper Brisbane and Rex Pine (who, interestingly enough, were battle droids and comrades).

She also spoke Huttese, which became very useful when dealing with R2's clients. She never had any children, but had two sisters, who both had kids. She became the foster mother to Kelly Tirafe, after her sister, Maud, died in the Battle Of Yavin. As the half-sister to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Shade had a great deal of hope in the Republic and this was often her weakness when ordered to kill a senator, politician or security official. While serving on board Voyager, Laonash was introduced to many of her future employers, that included Captain Flora Halie and Captain Kally Sparkles. Laonash spent most of her life in the S5SSF (Saturn 5 Space Station Forces) on the small space station the Honey Badger 2. There was never a Honey Badger 1 and so the name was a great joke the the crew.

Early life
Shade, born Elizabeth Lonta Kenobi, was the child of the King of Haqua. She served as Princess and was liked by her people. At the age of six she was already fluent in English as well as her native language of Haquen. She also learned to speck Bocche, Huttese and Satila&mdash;an old language usually spoken on Saturn 3. At the age of seven Shade first tied her hair into a bun, as she stated in her diary. Both her mother and her father hated her tightly secured hair and said it was not suitable for a princess. Her mother stated she looked like the Princess of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, and said she was not a good example to follow. Shade left school two years later and began her 'Princess Training', but on the family's trip to Coruscant she was taken on board by Jedi Master Derrari. She was a good Jedi Knight, but left the order at the age of thirteen to rejoin her family.

Parents' death
Shade found out that her father had been killed. She stayed with her mother, Ursala, from when she was 16 to when she was 19 and was offered to join the Republic Secret Agent sector. She became known as Elizabeth 'Bund,' following the famous agent but with a slight play on words. It was on her nineteenth mission, one involving spying on a local school, believed to be involved in a Sith plot, that Shade first met Rex Pine and General R2.

Recruited At Point Blanc Range
After being discovered as an agent by General R2, Shade was asked a series of questions. R2 sensed she was able to use the force and was over cautious when questioning her. When Shade revealed she was working under Chancellor Palpatine's orders, R2 recruited her as a member of the navy and accepted her as his Sith apprentice. She built a total of seventeen lightsabers and broke fifteen of them, including her Padawan Training Sabre. the two she managed to keep in tact are the two she used for the rest of her life.



General R2
R2 was accused of loving Shade after he told Cody, Rex, Skipper and Philippe that she was a princess and that they were not worthy of her. He denied it, saying she was just a good friend.

Skipper Brisbane
It was a well known fact that Skipper had a growing crush on Shade, even after he was punished by R2 and Cody for getting too close to her. Unfortunately, Skipper didn't get very far. He often got angry when Shade was seen with another man and usually threw them to the floor and enclosed Shade in a tight hug. He stopped doing this after Philippe Cerrier broke one of his arms in a counter-attack.

Rex Pine
They were once dance partners and it was noticeable that they spent a lot of time together, but there were no real feelings here. Rex and Shade shared a kiss once on the day of Haqua's liberation from the republic, however, the affair ended there.

Commander Cody
No body is quite sure what happened with them. After two dates, three kisses and a night together, Cody and Shade split up (on R2's order). There were rumors that the two were seeing each other, but these were untrue.

Philippe Cerrier
As governor of Haqua, Philippe seemed like a good match for Princess Lonta&mdash; as known by her people. They started dating when Shade was only 18. They were deeply in love, but Shade left on her missions and never came back. It was when R2 brought back the leaders of republic Co-Operation, that Shade and Philippe were reunited. He was known as a Vichy Man to the history-mad residents of Saturn 5. R2 was very angry with Philippe because he was a co-operator. When Shade and Philippe secretly left Saturn 5 and went back to Haqua, they took the underground passages to the Palace main room. The Queen had rigged these passages with cameras, so when Philippe first kissed Shade, the whole planet knew about it. Shade sung the Saturn 5 National Anthem at his funeral.
