Leia Organa

Leia was the daughter of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padme Amidala, though she was raised by Bail and Breha Organa as her mother died in childbirth and her father became the Sith Lord Darth Vader. On Alderaan she was raised as a princess and at a young age became a member of the Imperial Senate, though in the meantime she followed in her adopted father's footsteps and became a leader in the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Eventually this was found out and she became a full-time member of the Alliance. She was briefly captured on the Death Star and witnessed the destruction of Alderaan, but was rescued by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. She was a very active member of the Alliance and fought in several battles, including that of Endor, which saw the Empire begin to falter. Seizing the opportunity, the Alliance began an offensive on Coruscant itself, where Leia personally commanded one of the front lines, but the operation proved a disaster when a new faction, the State of New Telmaros, ambushed the rebels, crippling their forces and killing Han and Luke and many members of Alliance Command.

Though forced to retreat, Leia did not give up hope and commissioned the special forces unit Casaya Team to investigate this new threat. As the team followed a trail that eventually led them to the New Telmaros capital of Taldornadi, Leia's own refusal to stay idle saw her captured by Talon Bloed, who had recently defected from Telmaros-affiliated Blood Corps. Though his prisoner, Leia gained Talon's trust and with their combined resources they eliminated his father Major Blood and lured recently-declared Emperor Nioman Dakara into a trap. Dakara was defeated, Coruscant surrendered, and Taldornadi was reclaimed by Talon, who asked Leia to join him in rebuilding and later leading the war-torn planet.

In the following years, Leia married Talon and with him adopted his sister's ward Rose Gabar and had two children of their own, Julien and Addison. Leia served several years as New Telmaros's representative in the new Galactic Coalition before stepping down to help Talon as joint Head of State.

In the following weeks Luke left the alliance in hopes of restoring the Jedi Order and Han was killed, but Leia continued serving the Alliance as a member of High Command. In the next year she developed a close friendship with Sergeant Kervis Griggs, whose team she oversaw, and she was largely responsible for his later promotion to general. She briefly left the Alliance and High Command to pursue Darth Vader, who had survived the Battle of Endor, but realized her place with with the Alliance and soon resumed her duties and command there. She participated in the Battle of Taldornadi and worked with Talon Bloed in building ties between the Allinace and the Blood Corps.

After Endor
Leia's time with Luke as her brother was short-lived, as mere weeks after the battle he departed from the Rebel Alliance with the goal of restoring the Jedi Order, though Leia rightly suspected there was more to it than that.

Capture
Not long after she herself was captured along with Han Solo and Chewbacca. When she awoke from a drugged state she found they had both been killed and she was in the custody of biological engineer Kamath Dur. There she remained for weeks, though luckily Dur's progress was slow and Leia experienced no lasting effects from the various experiments and procedures performed on her. Eventually she was rescued by Casaya Team and taken off the space station where she had been held captive.

Before returning to the Alliance, the team had to resupply on fuel and Leia, with Dyrell Fragost and Me-Dari Callo, infiltrated an Imperial Base on Stogan and retrieved the needed fuel, as well as medical supplies and foodstuffs. She was soon returned to the Rebel Fleet, gathered around the site of Alderaan, and learned of the disastrous Battle of Coruscant that had taken place in her absence and the death of Admiral Ackbar. This meant the following year would be spent with little action from the Alliance as it struggled to gather and keep a substantial fleet and avoided as much conflict as possible with the Empire.

Casaya Team
It was Leia who advocated to keep Casaya Team functioning as several on High Command wanted to see it dismantled and such valuable members as Sergeant Griggs and Commander Callo to be used more effectively elsewhere. Leia believed the team could be used well as a special forces unit and succeeded in keeping it active. She put the team under her direct control and often spoke with Griggs, whom she became close with.

Some time later it was evident that High Command, particularly General Shepard, were intend on having Casaya Team disbanded but Leia, in secret, assigned it to locate and defeat the Blood Corps, a mission which the team was eventually successful in, though it took six months to accomplish.

Upon the team's return, Leia promoted Griggs to general and he was placed on High Command.

Personality and Traits
Leia Organa was a sharp-witted diplomat who was unafraid to speak her mind, even when confronted by powerful men like Vader and Tarkin, or her peers in Rebel High Command. She was as competent with weaponry as she was with words, and kept her composure even in humiliating situations to perform daring feats like diving into a garbage chute or strangling the infamous Jabba the Hutt.
