Background
Vesper Reshari was a military brat. Her family followed Tylon Reshari, a non-commissioned officer in the Republic Navy, from post to post: Rhinnal, Esseles, Brentaal, Corulag—while her mother, Hyinth, worked as a nurse. When the Galactic Republic turned Empire, Tylon Reshari took the opportunity to retire, and the family settled down on their home planet, Ralltiir.
Moving so much as children, the Reshari children struggled to stay grounded. Her older brother, Vigil, took after their father and entered a COMPNOR SAGroup and then the Imperial Academy. Vesper instead took up grav-ball, the sport of antigravity movement and scoring goals. Vesper became a skilled wing attacker, protecting the ball carrier by smashing into enemy attackers head-on. She won a scholarship to the University or Ralltiir, the first in her family to go to university. For the next three years, Vesper started for the Ralltiiri Glowmites, taking premed classes between matches.
But as good as she was, there was someone better: the team captain, a Chagrian named Wesemai Fafo. Vesper could never match the Chagrian's prowess on the field—and she was jealous. So when the Imperial-aligned government of Ralltiir declared non-Humans no longer welcome at the planetary university, Vesper did nothing. In fact, she watched as Wesemai, her other non-Human teammates, and several sympathetic Human students staged a protest at the final game of the season. Imperial stormtroopers rushed the stadium, arrested the protesters, and carted them off to parts unknown. When the dust had settled, Vesper got her desire: The coach named her team captain.
The Glowmites managed to make it to the sector championships without their non-Human members. Then, in a brilliant play, Vesper made a key block that enabled the Glowmites' striker to score the winning goal. In the bargain, though, Vesper's grav-boots shorted out, and she fell a dozen meters, shattering her leg. The team doctor said it would take years of physical therapy to recover fully, so her career in grav-ball was effectively over. Vesper threw herself into medicine, specializing in sports healthcare as her leg healed.
The attack happened while Vesper was in residency at the Ralltiir First General Hospital. The Imperial Lord Tion, citing Rebel cells on Ralltiir, brought a star destroyer to the world and bombarded the surface from orbit. Vesper was among the first responders, finding herself working alongside a Polis Massan spacer named Svae Xor Voe, who had sprung into action to offer first aid to the victims of the attack. As they worked, Voe pointed out how the bombardment seemed to have targeted non-Human-majority neighborhoods. Then Vesper's superiors ordered her to ignore the most heavily impacted areas and to focus instead on helping Human victims. The memory came back in stark relief, her just standing by as her non-Human teammates had been carted away from the grav-ball court only a few years before.
Vesper ignored the order. In fact, the order made her mad. She realized she'd been enabling the Empire's atrocities with her silence. But no more. Voe revealed that she had actually come to Ralltiir to deliver supplies to the targeted Rebels when the attack occurred. In fact, she could put Vesper in touch with her father, Torx, a high-ranking medical officer in the Rebel Alliance. He could always use another good medic.
To her chagrin, the Alliance has kept Vesper at arm's length: Her parents are noted Imperial loyalists, and her brother, Vigil, has become a commissioned officer in the Imperial navy. Alliance Command worries that Vesper's loyalties may be compromised should she ever get back into contact with her family. The doctor has now reached her second anniversary as a Rebel, and no amount of pickup grav-ball in a makeshift ice court can get her excited to treat the hundredth case of frostbite this week. Vesper yearns for the thrill of the field. But Dr. Torx says he's put in a good report; maybe something will happen soon.
Description
The grav-ball circuit has turned Vesper into 1.6 meters and 68 kilograms of solid muscle. Her dark hair, eyes, and complexion betray her origins in the equatorial regions of Ralltiir, as does her accent. Despite her shift from sports to medicine, she maintains much of the crassness and jocularity common in locker rooms across the galaxy. But her gruff exterior hides a deeply contemplative side, one that is now coming increasingly to the fore as she embraces the ideals of the Alliance and tries to stop the Imperial atrocities that she feels at least partly responsible for.
Motivation
Quest (Redemption): Vesper seeks to atone for a past mistake: After the government of Ralltiir swore allegiance to the Empire, she stood by as the University of Ralltiir instituted a new Humans-only policy and expelled non-Humans from the university. As other students protested the crackdown, Vesper kept quiet, even accepting the position of team captain when the former leader, a Chagrian, was forced to quit. Wesemai Fafo, Jukno Tujec, Zufal Kritt—the names of her non-Human teammates haunt her, and she wants to rescue them from Imperial slavery or else make things right through her actions.
Duty
Resource Acquisition: (55) There are never enough medpacs or bacta to fully support those fighting the juggernaut that is the Empire, and Vesper knows it very well. She is determined to seek out new sources of medicines, equipment, and gear for use in treating Alliance soldiers. One spare crate of medpacs can save quite a few lives, and a handful of stimpacks can mean the difference between success and failure on a mission. She will trade, beg, borrow, and steal anything for the cause.
