It's funny the way you look up to me, but I don't look up to you. I have to admit, though, you Ewoks are quite small, very small. There's only one thing you're bigger than: Darth Vader's brain.
—Shade speaking to the Ewoks during the capture of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker

Trained By The Sith[]

I'm surprised she knows what the force is, let alone how to use it.
—General R2 speaking to himself about Shade

Shade was trained well by R2 and became an expert force-user. Her lightsaber techniques were not as extraordinary, though. On a mission to the C.I.S ship, Jumbo Columbo, Shade manually planted explosives on one of two cannons, whereas R2 used the force to disable the other. Shade's training was minimal and the exercises were often interrupted by duty, arguments and afternoon tea.

R2: “Well, neither can it be won by our battle poses.

So Shade offered a sum of 50,000 which was never actually paid.

Core and Heart[]

Shade went to Raxus Prime and discovered the remains of an ancient civilization. Prime had told her that he was on the ship Calibure that had last stopped on Raxus Prime, but there was no sign of it anywhere.Shade began to explore the planet and found a prison. A bounty hunter named Defeer Jamika had been left there after flying to Raxus Prime on the Calibure. Shade asked for his help to locate it, as Jamika claimed he knew the route and the planet at which it stopped next. Jamika was reluctant and first, but after Shade made him an offer to free him from prison, he became a little more interested. After Shade told Jamika her name he agreed to help her. They escaped Raxus Prime on the old starship Core and Heart.

Shade Laonash: “Defeer, it was only after you learned my name that you agreed to listen to my proposition. Because that's what you wanted, and because I needed you, I didn't press the matter. I'm not a simpleton Jamika. You knew my father.
Defeer Jamika: “I knew him. Probably one of the few who knew him as Jakal Kenobi. Everyone else just called him Blackheart, or Blackheart Jack.
Shade Laonash: “Blackheart?
Defeer Jamika: “Good man. Good pirate. I swear you look just like him.
