About Rima Val-Mos

Rima Val-Mos is a 28 year-old, female Zeltron. Rima was raised by Kon Val-Mos, a friend to her parents and her legal guardian after their death at the hands of Hutt Slaver forces during an attack on the Zeltron colony of Ra-Manda. Rima's parents had been smugglers, dealing in valuable trade goods in areas where the local crime lords would not otherwise let such items be traded freely. It was here, as a child, that Rima developed her healthy skepticism of the rich and powerful.

Kon, a Human officer in the Coruscant Defense force, raised Rima as his daughter on the capital world, exposing her to both military and political life. During his deployment on a peacekeeper ship (attached to the Republic Diplomatic Corps, where Rima encountered her first Jedi, whom she distinctly remembers as "smelling funny"), Kon discovered Rima's natural talents and affinities for life aboard starships, both in her easy adaptation to an emergency zero-gee situation, and her ability to navigate the ship flawlessly without having been on it before. Kon pushed these skills in Rima's development, and eventually she became an accomplished starship pilot and captain in her own right.

When Kon left the Defense force shortly before the beginning of the Separatist Uprising, it was a teenage Rima who flew the ship while her adopted father handled such tasks as weapons and mechanical engineering - two fields that Rima was never good at. With the Separatist Uprising in full swing, and the Clone Wars looming on the horizon, Kon brought himself and his daughter back into the fold of the Republic, this time working as a courier and intelligence gathering vessel for the Republic Intelligence Service.

When Rima reached the age of sixteen, she convinced Kon to let her join the RIS as a new recruit, and (despite lying about her age on the application) was quickly accepted into their ranks. She made her way through the lower ranks of the service quickly, and with the coming of the Clone Wars, has found herself frequently sent into scenarios and areas where other (Human) agents would be more easily spotted. Her ship, the Steady Hand, has been expertly weathered, beaten, and battered to make it look much more worn out than it actually is. While the ship is not new by any stretch, it is certainly not the creaky pile of rotting wiring it appears to be.

Rima's specialty fields are insertion/extraction piloting, interpersonal information gathering, and (when necessary) coercion and the gathering of compromising information on high-profile targets.

While not a crack shot, Rima is adept at ranged combat, surprising her range instructors with her ability to dodge and return incoming fire. Despite this almost supernatural ability, Rima is decidedly not capable in The Force, having been tested shortly after Kon brought her back to Coruscant.

Rima stands 1.8 meters tall, and weighs 62 kilograms. While not particularly strong, she is physically lithe, adept and hardy due to her years of working with her father's ship and her RIS training. As with all Zeltrons, Rima is considered physically attractive by most male, and many female, Humanoids. Despite spending most of her life away from native Zeltron culture, Rima is nevertheless generally cheerful and friendly, though she harbors a special dark mood for slavers, especially those who work for (or are) Hutts.
