Biography
Carasynthia Dune was a female human born in the galaxy far, far away on the planet of Alderaan.
During the New Republic Era, Cara Dune found her way on a backwater world called Sorgan, which she called an early retirement. She eventually encountered a Mandalorian bounty hunter recently associated with the Bounty Hunters' Guild named Din Djarin, who she engaged in a brief skirmish with after falsely believing he had come to fulfill a bounty on her. Their scuffle came to a draw after the two both pulled their blasters on each other and noticed the Mandalorian's child, an infant named Grogu, watching them, after which the Mandalorian invited her for soup. Dune explained who she was to Djarin and why she attacked him, stating she figured that he had a tracking fob on her. She then told him to leave Sorgan as she had arrived to the planet first. When Djarin was convinced to help a tribe defend its village against Klatooinian raiders, he gave Dune the credits the farmers had paid earlier. Dune accompanied the bounty hunter to the village. The two later investigated the source of the attacks, and discovered the footprints of an AT-ST, something neither of them was capable of taking down and which led them to unsuccessfully attempt to persuade the villagers to leave. Dune cited the lack of available fighters, but after she was convinced that the farmers would stay and defend their village, they trained the villagers to fight off the invaders. She explained that the pond needed to be deeper in order to trap the AT-ST and trained a number of villagers in close-quarters combat. After completing their training, Dune and Djarin headed for the raiders' encampment in order to provoke them. They infiltrated their tent after incapacitating the guards, drawing the other Klatooinians' attention. The two then fought them as they entered the tent, and quickly escaped after the detonator Djarin had placed was set to explode. After alerting the AT-ST, they ran towards the village while evading its attacks. Returning to the village, Dune, Djarin, and the farmers all fought off the invaders. Dune noticed that the AT-ST failed to step into the trap they had created, and demanded Djarin's pulse rifle in order to bait the walker. She stepped into the pond and proceeded to fire at the walker, luring it into the trap and giving the Mandalorian an opportunity to destroy it with a detonator. The village's defense was successful, forcing the remaining raiders to flee.
On-board Slave I, they tracked down an Imperial shuttle and came to board it where it was carrying a clone engineering to Moff Gideon's light cruiser. Cara was among the boarders where one of the Imperial pilots threatened to kill his charge rather than allow him to fall into enemy hands but was killed in the scuffle. Afterwards, Djarin came to recruit the Mandalorians Lady Bo-Katan Kryze and Koska Reeves for his mission where they joined the assembled team on the mission. They orchestrated a plan to stage an attack on the shuttle that would escape to the cruiser allowing a strike team entry on the Imperial ship. Once on the ship, the main team made their way to the bridge whilst Djarin separated in order to rescue the child in the detention area. In this time, Cara had some trouble with her heavy blaster but managed to get it to work as she took down a squad of Stormtroopers. They then secured the bridge but there was no sight of Moff Gideon was actually in the prison cells holding the child hostage. Djarin returned with the captured Moff along with the child where they were forced to secure themselves on the bridge when a platoon of Dark Troopers had been activated and were looking to take back the vessel. They were only saved when an X-Wing arrived holding Jedi Master Luke Skywalker who had received a call from the Force through Grogu that was sent sometime ago where he managed to defeat the Dark Troopers before they made their way into the bridge. Djarin then bade farewell to the child who departed with the Jedi to undergo training in his abilities.
Overview
Personality and attributes
She had a tattoo of the Rebel Starbird under her left eye that was called the Tear which recognised her as a survivor of Alderaan.
Dune kept her emotions and personal feelings tightly under control, but the loss of her homeworld remained an open and sore wound. When confronted by Carson Teva on Nevarro over whether she lost family there, Cara bitterly told him she lost 'everyone'. When she re-joined military service as a marshal of the New Republic she was initially reluctant to do anything that would constitute an abuse of that position and power, she relented in the interest of saving Grogu and for another shot at the Empire.
Powers and abilities
She came to be referred to as a Rebel Shock Trooper where she was skilled in the use of heavy repeating guns.
