- "Droids are the most unappreciated of all the arts."
- ―Scudi Ferria
Scudi Ferria is a Chiss Slicer born on the planet of Csilla currently living in the domain of Plagueis on the Isle of New Raxulon. Scudi has earned a bit of a reputation in the underworld as a capable mechanic who can ensure technology remains running with less than ideal materials at her disposal, as well as a capable slicer. She is known to have visited several worlds formerly associated with the CIS and retrieving various pieces of technology she retains to the present day.
Character History
Early Life
Scudi was born in 4 ABY on the planet of Csillia. Her mother is known but no reports of a father have ever surfaced. It is believed that Scudi's mother was the mistress of a local politician who couldn't let the information slip as it would have cost him his career to be seen consorting with a woman of low birth. Scudi's mother raised her only child in a medium-sized town on the outskirts of Csilla's capital city Csaplar. Scudi's mother tried to find a man in order to give her daughter a chance at a family but to no avail. As a result, the young Scudi was always seeing her mother tired from working to support her daughter in the hopes she could excel and gain a high paying job, maybe work for the Aristocra.
Recognising Potential
With a lack of money meaning Scudi was deprived of achieving the level of education afforded to most Chiss who are sent out into the wider galaxy, her mother decided to send her to a trade school instead. While the more affluent attended their ivory towers, Scudi was learning to repair common electrical faults. Scudi did feel lonely, as at the school she attended she was the only female student. Having to overcome the expectations of not being as good as her male counterparts, Scudi was regularly top of her class. Scudi's favourite teacher knew she was gifted and introduced her to the world of slicing. At first, she only learned the basics of computers, but soon after she was entering systems she wasn't supposed to. Her teacher faced some backlash for this and had to cut off Scudi's private lessons due to the school board's concern over how close two were becoming.
Journies among the stars
When Scudi reached the age of 18, her former mentor reached out to her with a proposition. He had some friends who were leaving Chiss space to make money selling antiques from the wider galaxy to members of the Aristocra and other wealthy Chiss. Scudi agreed to go with them as long as her mother would be cared for. After a teary goodbye, Scudi ventured to the spaceport to meet up with her new colleagues. The crew was lead by a Sephi who purported to know the locations of untold riches but lacked the Chiss contacts or mechanical knowledge to obtain them. The crew numbered 7 in total and lived aboard Chiss shuttle.
Lola Sayu
The first stop for Scudi and her band of merry men was the sulfurous, cracked planet known as Lola Sayu. The crew were there to hit the Citadel, a facility built by the Galactic Republic to hold Jedi that the Confederacy had taken over early on the Clone Wars. The defenses almost took Scudi out on a number of occasions, but other members of the team kept her safe. Upon reaching the top of the facility's control tower, she was able to take control of a prototype Aggressor assault fighter by accessing it's Electronic Warfare Suite from the command console. While still in the command center Scudi shut down the facility's defenses, allowing the rest of the crew to plunder the facility. Scudi went to the ship, which she flew to the rendezvous.
The gang's Sephi leader demanded Scudi relinquish the ship to him but she refused. Things were tense for a moment before she explained that she was capable of keeping it running and could easily ensure the gang were protected, thereby ensuring more successful missions and more credits for everyone. The leader agreed reluctantly and took Scudi's share of the pay for the Citadel mission as insurance.
Agamar
Agamar was a barren, rocky planet in the Outer Rim and the location of the next retrieval op. When the crew arrived they found remnants of a battle that had taken place maybe 2 decades earlier. Mostly wreckage from the Galactic Empire's vehicles and troops that had lain abandoned for years. Scudi, however, felt there was a greater treasure lurking on the planet. She implored the rest of the group to follow her and assured them that it'd be worth it. Her fellow Chiss were hesitant, they didn't want it to appear like they just did what Scudi said. Tension had been growing in the months since Lola Sayu, having her own ship meant Scudi could turn on them at any moment, not to mention how she stood up to the crew's leader over the ship. The Sephi leader gave them permission to follow but warned Scudi if she came back with less men than followed her the ship she'd claimed would be forfeit. This angered the female Chiss but she couldn't argue. After accessing a nearby Seperatist supply ship's systems she learned of an enhanced analysis droid designated 4N-D1 and where it was being stored.
Setting off in the droid's direction, Scudi's cohorts found themself stuck behind a ray shield. Taking the time to shut down the shield, Scudi warned the men to be careful.

Characteristics
Physical Description
A sapphire blue Chiss of resplendent height, Scudi’s body is ectomorphic, resulting in a body shape best described by comparing it to a ruler, lean with a relatively flat chest, along with her stomach and hips being equally in-line. Her long limbs are well-toned, much like her legs with her hands and feet being in proportion to the limbs they are attached to.
Scudi Ferria has a heart-shaped face that features her shaped, arched eyebrows narrowly above her cherry red eyes. Her short, thin nose is approximately 2.5 times as wide at the base when compared to the bridge, her full lips are narrow and midnight blue. Her jawline is of average size, smooth in shape and rounds off her near perfect facial symmetry. Her black hair is slicked back into a shoulder-skimming bob.
Scudi has both of her ears pierced and a couple of symmetrical scars on her face, both just underneath an ear and in the shape of an x. Just below her left wrist on the inside, she has her initials, SF, inked. On each of her feet, Scudi also has tattoos, on the left, she has a sun with petals protruding around the outside while her right foot is adorned by a crescent moon with a similar flower inspired design within it.
Scudi prefers to wear light clothing, regardless of if she's on a mission or working on a relatively benign repair job. "Function over form" is Scudi's defining fashion statement. If it doesn't have several pockets, the chances are Scudi will pass it over regardless of any designer branding.
Core Principles
Scudi is a firm believer in Meritocracy. Having grown up in the aristocratic oligarchy known as the Chiss Ascendancy, Scudi has come to the view that people must show themselves worthy of being given privileges such as the ability to vote or hold political office. This is because an individual must be tested to see if they can put the good of the people above their own personal desires. Because of this view, Scudi finds herself seen as a radical by supporters of most forms of government in the galaxy and the people who run them, but it has instilled in her a strong work ethic out of a desire to prove herself worthy.
Scudi is also highly wary of feelings being taken to their logical extremes. Scudi has seen the dangers of when people wholeheartedly commit to carrying out thoughts to their fullest extent, and she didn’t like what she saw. Because of the trauma inflicted on her as a child, Scudi is hesitant to fully commit to anything, whether it be a cause or a relationship. Because of this, she may be drawn into conflict with people who expect her to do more, while she can be saved from the pitfalls of over-committing.
Scudi isn't a pacifist, she sees the value in armed conflict on occasion, she's just hopeless at it. Scudi lamented the isolationist nature of the Chiss Ascendancy, wishing it would take more of a proactive approach to galactic affairs.
