Mira Volz

Mira Volz was the daughter of the inventor Renn Volz, both of Kessel. Mira would often assist her father around the lab, and accompanied him on trips.

Her father created the Ion Ring around the planet Zerm to help control destructive storms which had been devastating the planet's surface. When the Imperial Captain Bzorn found out about the device and its potentially destructive capabilities, he placed Professor Volz under arrest and comandeered the Ion Ring Ship. With the intent of destroying the Rebel planet of Rion, Bzorn took Mira as a hostage, ensuring that Renn would do his bidding.

While in transit, Mira was able to escape from Imperial custody on the planet Randa, a Rebel stronghold. Here, she met Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, who promised to help the girl get her father back. They were able to track her fether to the planet Rion, but only after he had used the Ion Ring Ship to destroy the planet's climate, plunging it into an ice age. There, they learned from locals that her father was next headed to Kessel.

On Kessel, the group went to Professor Volz's secret laboratory. Mira stayed behind and attempted to contact her father using his sub-space image transmitter, while Solo, Skywalker and Chewbacca went to the Ion Ring Ship to attempt a rescue. Both were successful, and Professor Volz and Mira were united, but not before the Professor set the ship to auto-destruct.
