Shae Vale



Shae "Ember" Vale was a human female and Mandalorian outcast serving in the Grand Army of the Republic and later Galactic Empire's Stormtrooper Corps as a lieutenant during the Rise of the Empire Era.

Early Life on Mandalore
Shae grew up on the planet of Mandalore, where she and her family would pose as New Mandalorians despite holding true to ideals of the martial traditionalists. As a youth, her mother taught her how to shoot and her father taught her how to forge her armor. During Vale's teen years, she and her family were discovered to be traditionalist Mandalorians and were exiled to Mandalore's moon of Concordia. There a small civil war would ensue, with Shae fighting against both the Death Watch and later her own clan. From there she would be outcast, banished from Concordia and hunted by the remnants of Clan Vale throughout her teenage years.

From then on, Shae moved from planet to planet, stealing to survive, going on adventures and getting into skirmishes with her former family. Eventually Vale would enlist with one of the Carida Planetary Defense Force, where she would serve for a year before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. There she would join up with the Republic's army which would be absorbed into the Grand Army of the Republic. Soon after the start of the Clone Wars, she would meet ARC Commander Decretum on a mission who would recruit her into the 34th Advanced Combat Legion.
