Early life
Lymie Chamna was born to Akak Chamna and his wife, Nal in 45 BBY on Coruscant. In her early years, she lived with her mother while her father, a Coruscanti trader, traipsed across the galaxy making a living for his wife and daughter.

Nal Chamna died in 40 BBY, while Lymie was just a toddler. Her father returned home and tried to care for his daughter as best he could, taking her with him on his trading journeys and such. On one such journey, Akak went to J't'p'tan to trade furs of exotic animals and Lymie, who was twelve at the time, but very tough for her age decided to explore the city on her own. She carried a small blaster, given to her by her father, for protection and went off, leaving her father a note informing him of where she was.

She was walking through an alley, a "shortcut" back to her ship, or so she thought, when she found Ryluk Shouja, lying in the gutter and waiting for his body to bleed itself out. The tenderhearted girl applied a bandage that she happened to be carrying with her and carried the boy gently back to the ship, where her father took the young lad in and treated him. The trader's vessel left port with Ryluk Shouja and the Chamna family became a trio.

Akak died in 29 BBY of a rare, untreatable heart disease. Both Lymie and Ryluk, who was still living with the family mourned his passing extensively. After a while, the two of them moved to Corellia permanently. Lymie attended the Correll Medical College there and became a neurosurgeon, doing quite well for herself. Ryluk put his money in stock of various Corellian companies, making several very shrewd decisions based on past and present performance. With the remainder of his money, he bought a wreck of a Pursuer-class enforcement ship, registering it with the Corellian Traffic Commission as the Lymie in honor of his secret love.

When Lymie learned of the dubbing of his ship, she was very embarrassed and asked him the reason for the "outrageous name," as she called it. "It was the only way I could think of to show my love for you," he told her. After that moment she realized how much she loved him. Ryluk proposed to her, and she accepted. The wedding was scheduled for Melona 28, 24 BBY in honor of Lymie's parents, who were married on that same day thirty-two years previous.

Life with the bounty hunter
Lymie's life didn't end happily ever after, at least not from that point. On the day of her wedding, only a few minutes before the ceremony took place, she was stolen away by a group of Cathar, who were Gibranna the Hutt's honor guard, and taken to a hidden base on a remote, uncharted planet in the Outer Rim. Ryluk tracked them there and found his bride, taking her and a Wookiee back with him. The Wookiee's name was Vakanem. Vakanem was a very renowned Wookiee warrior that found his way to the wrong side of Gibranna's favor.

Vakanem declared a Life Debt to Ryluk, and indirectly to Lymie, who at that time lived in the Shouja Mansion with her fiancé. The house was massive, with over one hundred rooms. It was ancient, one of the oldest buildings on Corellia. Lymie and Ryluk lived there happily. There was no shortage of problems after Lymie's escape, as the Cathar Honor Guard struggled mercilessly to avenge their fallen Boss, as they called him. There were several assassination attempts, and so Ryluk brought home a TacSpec Corporation Fill Footman Droid, named Erudite, for protection. In spite of this precaution, a group of Trandoshan mercenaries broke through the defenses and shot Lymie in the back. However, it was a minor blast, and she was able to recover quickly after a brief stay in a hospital.
