- Shanra Immel and Malcom discuss their plan to destory the local spaceport

Shanra Immel was a human female sergeant in the Galactic Republic's army. In 3,641 BBY during the renewed war between the Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire, Immel and her squad along with SpecForce Colonel Jace Malcom serving as their advisor was deployed on the planet Kalandis Seven. During the ongoing battle for control of the world Immel and her squad were given orders to destroy the local spaceport that was under Imperial control. On the way to the spaceport, Immel and her squad was attacked and Corporal Amden vor Keioidian was fatally wounded during the attack. After checking Keioidian's condition Immel made the decision to leave the Corporal behind, activating his med tracer so that he would be rescued.

Shortly after Immel ordered the squad to move out they reached the spaceport three hours later. Immel and Malcom emerged from a caynon entering the local plains with the spaceport in sight. After her squad checked in&mdash;consisting of Camur, Eron, Yennir of the Green, Vaskus Kayle, Min-Reva, and Zenhai&mdash;Malcom gave Immel a satchel of targeting beacons. Together Immel and Malcom approached the spaceport and observed the enemy patrols. Malcom shot the closet patrol and with Immel's help disposed of their bodies under a Imperial fighter that was half-repaired.

Immel discovered one of the troopers was still alive and killed him to prevent their discovery. After silencing the trooper she planted one of the target beacons onto a nearby power terminal. After watching a planetary command ship land, Malcom amended Immel's plan to include him capturing the command ship alone, while she and her men would finish the mission. After setting all the beacons on their targets, Immel checked on Malcom's status and they talked about her thoughts of private Kayle and Malcom reminded her it was good to spend time with her squad. As the spaceport exploded Immel spared a fighter to save Malcom's life as he jumped out of the command ship. Malcom thanked her for saving his life and asked about the status of the mission.

She responded saying that the spaceport was destroyed and offered to buy Malcom a drink upon their return back to base. Malcom declined stating that he was being recalled to the Core Worlds.

Personality and traits
"Mercy shot."

- Shanra Immel's thoughts on killing a wounded Imperial soldier

Shanra Immel was a human female with light skin, short brown hair and brown eyes. She cared for others especially those she served with, and refused to send them into a situation that they were not equipped for. Immel didn't care much for SpecForce and was the opinion that they were nothing but scum. When Immel ended the life of a wounded Imperial soldier, she viewed her actions as a mercy. She didn't think highly of private Vaskus Kayle viewing him as aa bad shot, and was of the opinion that he would mistakenly poison himself one day. However she acknowledged that Kayle knew his faults and knew how to follow orders.
