I've never met someone who's received the Medal of the Emperor's Fist. Come on. You don't know what the pilots are saying about you? They call you a hero."
"I'm not a hero, lieutenant. I'm doing my job.

—Dolph Morin and Jaina Shen

Jaina Shen was a Human female from Empress Teta who served the Galactic Empire as a TIE fighter pilot. The daughter of a Clone Wars veteran, Jaina was a graduate of the prestigious Raithal Academy. During her service in the Imperial Navy, she quickly established a reputation for herself as a skilled pilot, quickly climbing the ranks and earning the status of ace, as well as the vaunted title of Baron of the Empire.

During the course of the Galactic Civil War, Jaina lead Banshee Squadron against the Rebel Alliance.

Biography[]

Galactic Civil War[]

After the Battle of Hoth, Jaina was offered command of a VT-49 Decimator, considered an honor. Instead, she turned the offer down in order to remain with her squadron.

Personality and traits[]

Physical description[]

Jaina was a slender human woman with light skin and black hair. Her hair was straight in texture and quite smooth, with a lustrous sheen; it was fairly short, with two long locks at the sides. Although considered attractive, Jaina refrained from wearing jewelry or cosmetics and didn't have any tattoos or piercings. She was known for being rather stone-faced and inexpressive.

She wore the standard TIE pilot flight suit and helmet.

Skills and abilities[]

Jaina's skill as a pilot was something to be reckoned with; many, including those in the Rebel Alliance, considered her to be one of the Empire's finest - and deadliest - pilots. Her skill cemented her status as an ace, with more than thirty confirmed kills. Her skill and daring in the cockpit of a starfighter earned her several honors in her service to the Empire, including the Medal of the Emperor's Fist and the title of Baron of the Empire.

Equipment and possessions[]

Jaina flew a TIE interceptor. Due to her status as a Baron, there were red markings on her flight suit and helmet that differentiated her from other pilots.

Relationships[]

Mical Heste[]

I see right through your modesty. You're an ace, just as I am. A leader. A weapon."
"A weapon? Nah, that's not me. Maybe you Imperials fight for "glory" or for the sake of fighting. I do this to protect people who can't protect themselves. I do this to keep people alive."
"Then you know the weight of command, the weight of knowing your men rely on you to get them home. That is worthy of my respect.

—Jaina and Mical Heste

Behind the scenes[]

Jaina's name is borrowed from a friend's character name from the Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG; in addition to being a namesake, the Jaina from Galaxies was also an ace Imperial pilot.
