Biography
Ciena Ree was a rural villager from the planet Jelucan in the Outer Rim Territories. She grew up as a friend of Thane Kyrell, an aristocrat. They bonded over their love of flying and fell in love. The two fulfilled their dream of flying by enrolling in an Imperial Academy, using their piloting skills in the service of the Galactic Empire. Their dreams were shattered when Kyrell came to see the Empire as a horrific force and joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Ree, however, remained loyal to the Empire, forcing the two star-crossed lovers to fight on opposite sides of the Galactic Civil War&mdash;and leaving Ree with a choice to between her loyalty to the Empire and her love for her childhood friend. Ree had a twin sister, Wynnet, who died only a few hours after they both were born. Though there was no way for her to remember her, she lived her life for both of them. She wore a leather bracelet as a symbol that was still tied to her twin sister and when she saw something of significance would recite the phrase "Look through my eyes" as a reminder that she was seeing it for the both of them.

Ciena was seriously injured after the Battle of Endor, causing her to need a life support unit attached to her mid-section. The implant acted as her liver whilst Bacta was used to grow her a new one. Following her recovery, Ree was promoted to captain, and took command of the Star Destroyer, Inflictor. Under 25 years old, Ree was easily one of Galactic Empire's youngest captains. She participated in the Battle of Jakku, where New Republic forces intended to capture her ship. Instead of allowing their plan to succeed, Ree ordered her crew to abandon ship and allowed the Star Destroyer to crash into Jakku. Thane rescued her from the ship and bundled her in an escape pod.

Ree was held as a prisoner of war. After weeks of refusal, she finally allowed Thane to see her. He offered her options to lessen her sentence if she gave away Imperial information. Ree refused to go back on her oath to the Empire and gave away no intelligence to the New Republic. Ree was believed dead by her remaining comrades in the Galactic Empire and became a symbol as an upstanding Imperial officer who refused to give in to corruption following the Empire's defeat at the Battle of Endor.
