Biography

Hera Syndulla was a female Twi'lek who was born on her homeworld of Ryloth where she was the daughter of Cham Syndulla and Eleni Syndulla with her being a child during the time of the Clone Wars. Her father was notable for being a revolutionary who had fought against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During that time, her mother kept her safe by hiding them below ground but as a young girl Hera came to see the Galactic Republic which flew over Ryloth to help liberate the planet. Looking up at the ships, she came to decide to be a pilot on day with this prompting her to leave her home and family one day in order to pursue her love of flying. During that time, she came to hear stories about the purrgil that were large space dwelling creatures that were said to had inspired people to develop hyperdrives. As she grew older, her views about the creatures changed as she started to see them as a menace as they endangered hyperspace travel as they could crash into ships. This view only magnified when she began o work as a pilot and she lost more than one friend to a collision with a purrgil.

At the Battle of Ryloth, a BTL Y-wing starfighter crashed near her home with Hera investigating the site. She found the pilot to had died but managed to recover an old astromech droid from the fighter with this being C1-10P.

After the Clone Wars ended, the Republic came to be re-organised into the first Galactic Empire under the reign of Palpatine. This saw Ryloth being freed from Separatist threat and transitioning to Imperial rule with Cham Syndulla working with the Twi'lek senator in order to rebuild their world. However, many Twi'leks were uneasy over the Empire and their presence on their world with the young Hera hearing these voices from her uncle and mother.
