Ara Hoban is a young woman from Corellia. She has gotten into some trouble with some criminals (she is, of course, innocent), and got kidnapped. Luckily she got rescued again, but Corellia is a little to “hot” for her now, and because of that. Her family has decided to send her into her rescuers care. So now she is travelling across space with her “gouvernants”. She is from an respectable and large family, but preferred to make friends among the streetchildren and spent a large part of her sparetime among them. When she grew a little older she started working in her uncles “space-repairing facility” and that sparked a keen interest for spaceships in her.
