A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Thirty years before the Great Resynchronization re-calibrated dating systems across the Galaxy, and 65 years before the monumental Battle of Yavin, a bourgeois couple, Radhak and Danielle Jan-Otay set up shop on the planet of Concord Dawn in hopes of trading with the local, predominantly Mandalorian population. Unfortunately, seven years after settling down, Concord Dawn was violently attacked by the forces of the Mandalorian Death Watch. Radhak and Danielle barely escaped the planet with their lives on board a refugee ship- only for the ship to be hijacked by space pirates. Radhak and Danielle were sold as slaves to Offworld Corporation, which sent them to work in the ionite mines of Bandomeer. Then, thirteen years into their enslavement, Offworld Corporation was unseated from power on Bandomeer. As Republic investigators descended on the planet to investigate, Offworld hastily smuggled their slaves out transported them to secret locations before finally selling them, when it became apparent that they would never regain Bandomeer. Radhak and Danielle were divided and sold separately: Radhak was sent to work for the crimelord Ugga the Hutt on the backwater planet of Luuq, while Danielle was purchased by the wealthy, but secretive Lagda the Hutt on Cyborrea. Elderly Lagda, whose intimidating presence belied the kindness with which he treated his slaves (an unusual trait in a Hutt), appointed Danielle his private secretary. Although, it took some time for her to realize, Danielle was already pregnant with Radhak's child. After nine months of serving Lagda, Danielle gave birth to a baby girl she named Christine. Lagda was delighted, for he was sterile and doted on the children of his slaves and she spent much of her childhood in Lagda's personal nursery with the children of Lagda's other slaves. Unfortunately, when Christine was two years old, Lagda met an untimely death at the hands of a Rodian bounty hunter. Lagda's assets, including his slaves, were inheirted by Lagda's brother, Hargulla the Hutt. Hargulla promptly shut down Lagda's nursery and worked his slaves harshly in an effort to garner money to finance the hunt for the beings responsible for Lagda's death. It was shortly after, that Ss'yak, a Verpine Jedi, investigating a recent spate of violence and political tumoil in the Hutt Sector, came to Hargulla's new estate. Ss'yak sensed slight Force-sensitivity in the toddler. When Danielle heard Ss'yak comment this to the estate overseer, she begged the Jedi to take Christine away to spare her the hardships of growing up as a slave. Ss'yak sympathized with the young mother and agreed to purchase Christine and take the child into training despite her reservations about the extent of the child's Force abilities...
