I'm pretty dissappointed with the current Mora article, so here is what I'm going to do with it... It is still a mess (specially the last two parts) and I haven't added the sources yet (takes like two minutes with everything coming from the River of Chaos).

Early life
"The humans on M'haeli have rejected her because of her ties to the H'drachi. And the H'drachi generally scorn her because she is human."

- Governor Grigor

Mora was born to the royal family of M'haeli in 17 BBY. Her parents supported the Galactic Republic which led to Imperial invasion of the planet when Mora was only a baby. The royal palace in N'croth was devastated and the peaceful H'drachi&mdash;native species of M'haeli&mdash;feared that the Human population of the planet would blame them for the destruction. When a group of H'drachi elders, including Ch'no, searched for the evidence of H'drachi innocence they found Mora among the ruins. They believed that the servants had abandoned the child when they fled from the palace during the attack and that they should leave her to her destiny&mdash;to die. Ch'no, who had found Mora, saw that she was destined to become the queen of M'haeli but only revealed the information years later, when Mora's inheritance had been discovered by Imperial governor, Grigor. Ch'no also noticed that the time-stream concentrated around the child revealing to him that her destiny was not to die as the other elders believed.

When Mora grew up there were rumours about an heir to the throne and those rumours spurred on rebel activity among Human population of M'haeli. Governor Grigor wanted to find the heir and kill him&mdash;believing that the surviving heir was a male child&mdash;and interrogated rebel prisoners in attempt to find out about the heir. None of the Rebels, nor Mora herself, knew that she was the missing heir.

Mora became a devoted daughter to Ch'no, who was the only H'drachi whose ability to tap into the time-stream was not hindered by her presence. Humans of M'haeli shunned Mora because she lived with H'drachi and showed loyalty to them. On the other hand H'drachi could not accept Mora because she was a Human and she had a strong disruptive effect on the time-stream. Thus Mora was able to befriend only with few people such as two rebellious H'drachi youths, N'ton and R'han, who liked to collect junk together with Ch'no, Mora and their droid, Widget.

Junkyard mechanic
"People say you're the best in N'croth."

- Ranulf Trommer

As Mora grew up she became skilled mechanic who was well known in N'croth for being able to fix almost anything. She also knew how to fix prosthetic limbs&mdash;having worked with Widget&mdash;as well as how to handle explosives. She often escorted her adoptive father and their friends when they went to search junk that had been thrown away and which they could turn into something useful. Mora wanted to join the rebellion against the governor but other Humans did not trust her and she was unwilling to jeopardise her father. When two rebels, Jalose and Merrik, offered her a job converting their speeders for military use as light guerrilla vehicles, she was eager to take the chance to help them.

When Mora was waiting Jalose and Merrik to come back and get their equipment a young man, who introduces himself as a merchant Ranulf Trommer&mdash;but who in reality was an Imperial officer sent to spy on Mora and H'drachi&mash;came to their shop with a protocol droid that had been shot. Governor Grigor&mdash;who correctly believed that Trommer had been sent to M'haeli to spy on him&mdash;sent a group of stormtroopers to kill Trommer as a suspected Rebel agent. However he was saved by Mora and a small group of real Rebels led by Princess Leia Organa, who happened to be on their way to pick up the speeders from Mora.

The Rebels knew that they had to take Mora, Ch'no and Trommer with them since the Empire would be hunting them for the death of the troopers. The Rebels took speeders Mora had modified while Mora and Trommer mounted the one she had been constructing for herself and they took off. It soon came apparent that Mora was not able to keep up with the more powerful speeders and they fell behind. Organa instructed Mora to meet her in a cave located behind W'eston Falls. Stormtroopers using speeders caught up with Mora and Trommer, who were able to fight them off, but Trommer was shot to the leg during their escape.

When Mora and Trommer reach the cave they found out that it was not a Rebel base, but Trommer was able to understand the suspicion Rebels felt toward them&mdash;he was a complete stranger to them and even Mora was not seen as entirely trustworthy. Mora found out that one of Trommer's legs was actually a cybernetic prosthetic that had been damaged during the escape. Trommer expected her to be horrified by the discovery but she only told him that he was lucky because she knew how to fix it. Soon they were asked to prove their worth to the Rebels by finding the source of dragite crystal. Ch'no provided them with the location of the secret mine and the pair headed out.

They found the mine from D'lope Range, where governor Grigor used slave workers captured in raids on Rebel strongholds. Mora's unlucky ability to disrupt the time-stream almost led them to be discovered by the guards. Mora and Trommer also discovered that Mora's friend, R'han, who had been reported to be found dead among the Rebels, was alive and held prisoner there. They found the dragite crystals and Trommer noticed that some of the soldiers were only mercenaries wearing stormtrooper armour. After the success of the operation Rebels were ready to welcome Mora and Trommer to their main base, but Trommer&mdash;who was confused of his loyalties between Mora and the Empire&mdash;left them to arrest governor Grigor for treason. Merrik, who was suspicious of Trommer, followed him and saw him enter the Imperial garrison unchallenged. When Merrik returned to the camp Mora was shocked to learn that a man she had come to love was a traitor of their cause. Soon they got the word that stormtroopers had destroyed H'drachi compound when searching Mora and Ch'no. Mora decided to lead a group of Rebels in retaliation strike to the dragite mines.

Heir to the throne
"Old nurse said... Heir is well hidden. Will return... to save us from the Empire."

- Rebel prisoner

Trommer failed in his attempt to capture Grigor and was himself imprisoned by the governor who resorted to torture to force Trommer to reveal what he had found out about Mora and H’drachi. When Grigor found out that Trommer would not betray his new friends he promised a reward for Mora’s capture or death and hired a Gotal bounty hunter, Glott, to track her down. Through Jalose and Ph’dan’s betrayal of Mora, Gotal discovered that she was leading the attack against the mines and was able to capture her even with Trommel – who had escaped from Imperial garrison – attempting to save her. Glott took Mora to Grigor who first decided to have her killed but changed his mind when he discovered that Mora’s identi-print matched with a missing member of the royal family. In attempt to legalise his rulership of the planet Grigor forced Mora to become his bride and announced his plan and made a public announcement of the discovery – knowledge that Mora was the hereditary queen came as a shock to Jalose who had engineered Mora’s capture to quell her own jealousy because of Merrik.

In the end Trommer was able to convince Rebels that his only concern was to rescue Mora from Grigor. He got Jalose, Merrik and Widged to help him when they entered the Imperial garrison. When she first saw Trommer Mora tried to attack him believing he had betrayed them all but the rescue team convinced her that while the truth was not much better Trommer was innocent to the betrayal. The group was on its way back to the Rebel camp when Glott caught up with them and tried to kill Mora but Jalose took the laser fire in her stead. Soon Mora was reunited with Trommer in the Rebel camp and she heard the true story of him being an Imperial officer.

Going Rebel
Trommer’s knowledge of Imperial military and his fighter training came in handy when Rebels were defending their base from Grigor and governor’s troops. The battle was immediately followed by arrival of Trommer’s father and Grand Moff Hauser who intended to turn the M’haeli into an armament factory with the help of dragite mines. Hauser ordered Mora to be killed without a second thought but Trommer had learned to expect betrayal from his Imperial superiors and shot the trooper holding her. During their escape Mora questioned Trommer about his decision to defect not understanding why he turned against them after the warm welcome he had received from his father.

The groups of Imperials that arrived to conquer M’haeli after Trommer revealed the dragite mines to them started hunting down the Rebels. Realising that they had no hope if they would stay on M’haeli Mora and Trommer decided to follow Princess Leia Organa off-planet where they could do more to bring down the Empire. Before they would leave Mora and Trommer led Merrik and Ch’no to destroy the dragite mine so that the Empire could not use it to support their war efforts. After destroying the mine Mora, Ch’no and Trommer left together with Organa.
