I'm using it as part of Mejun and Mira's charachter development because Sabine made the decision to only tell them about her time serving the Empire and that she built the Duchess when they were around 14 years old. She was afraid that if they found out sooner, they'd despise her and refuse to acknoweldge her as their mother anymore becuase of the shame. Mejun and Mira were tought to take great pride in their Mandalorian heritage and she had no idea how they'd react if they found out she built something that was tailor made to exploit something so crucial to Mandalorian identity. In the chapter I'm writing concerning this, Sabine has a borderline nervous breakdown when she imagines how her children would react to learning she served the Empire after everything she and Ezra had told them about the horrible things its done. Both Mejun and Mira look up to her and Ezra for what they did as part of the Rebel Alliance.

Even when Sabine has Ezra, her parents, Zeb and Kallus with her when she tells Mejun and Mira everything on Krownest soon after Mejun runs into Skovic, she's terrified that her own children will disown her as their mother. Ezra even thinks to himself that the pain of losing her children's love in front of the entire family will be more than Sabine can bear. Mejun and Mira don't react the way Sabine is afraid they might and they point out she did all this before joining the Ghost crew and the Rebel Alliance, so things turn out fine. But I thought Sabine's past working for the Empire and the Duchess in particular could make for an interesting scenario.
