Lashed out, committing vandalism, speeder and starship theft. Opportunism, not patriotism. -Repeat captures and offenses led to a choice; an Imperial prison camp and likely death by hard labor, or an Imperial Academy. Briala chose the Academy. -Entrance test scores and aptitude batteries, combined with personal history, revealed surprising general and tactical intelligence and top-tier reflexes and spatial awareness. Took months to condition and discipline her temperament. Fast tracked for piloting programs. -Continued success led to transfer to prestigious Skystrike Flight Academy. Iron sharpened iron. She was among the top graduates of her class. -Now a fully qualified TIE fighter pilot, she cut her teeth against Separatist holdouts, pirates, smugglers, and then Rebels. -Promotions came quickly due to repeated success and minimal squadron loss, until she criticized a Captain's strategy that put her pilots in excessive danger.

A little unpredictability is what keeps a pilot alive." Lorn didn't look up from his datapad. He remained seated on the edge of his bunk, posture perfect, his voice a low, steady drone. "Predictability allows the squadron lead to coordinate assets with consistency. If we all deviate to be 'exciting,' we’re just a collection of loose cannons." "Exactly!" Menali said almost gleefully.
