Shasta Moonreaper

Shasta Moonreaper was a female assassin who later joined the Secret Galactic Intelligence Service.

Early Life
Having been born on Alderaan, Shasta grew up as a tomboy. She was always running around and playing "guns" with the boys. She had no interest in what the other little girls were playing with. She hated dolls and she hated to play "dress up".

Her interest in blasters and other weapons eventually led to marksmanship training. After years of hard work and practice, she became an assassin-for-hire. But she would only take jobs that benefited the authorities. She would only assassinate someone evil or criminal and fought for justice. Even though she was taking the lives of criminals, she felt her heart was in the right place, avenging the innocent.

Shasta's parents had always discouraged her from playing with the boys, and then discouraged her weapons training as she got older. When she officially became an assassin, her parents disowned her.

A Chance Encounter
While on Naboo, Shasta was approached by Digika about a job that involved assassinating Queen Teresaa of Theed. Shasta, of course, turned him down because the Queen was a good person and didn't need to pay for any crimes, because she hadn't committed any.

Later, Shasta heard about MI5 preventing the assassination attempt on Teresaa and heard that Digika and another Bothan had been taken into custody.

Knowing her skills could benefit MI5, she decided to join the agency. She also felt it was a good way to help more people throughout the galaxy.

Agent of MI5
Shasta's first mission as an MI5 agent was the trip to Tatooine during the hunt for CarbonEye. Her team, led by Onolar Neot and Shalin Kitovaz, were investigating the thefts at Jabba the Hutt's palace when they had a little run-in with a team of Tusken Raiders calling themselves the Yargh who had been hired by CarbonEye himself. The standoff eventually turned into a draw and the two groups went their separate ways.

When Shasta's team returned to Coruscat, they witnessed MI5 Headquarters being attacked. And in the process, M was incapacitated. So Frederick Gray had momentarily stepped in to take over as Head of MI5. Angeo Lim assigned Shasta to be Frederick Gray's bodyguard while they moved to a secure, undisclosed location for the duration of the CarbonEye mission.
