Shiar Throndec is a Corellian female. She was raised by drunken parents, which basically means she raised herself on the streets, learning about flying shooting, and gambling. She discovered she had a natural affinity for anything mechanical. She is highly intelligent, and learned to read and understand binary. She loves building, repairing, and programing droids.
Being a Corellian, Shiar is naturally a great pilot and deliever all of her own cargo. Someone once said of her skill that she could pilot a bulk cruiser through the eye of a needle without scratching the paint.
Shiar is also a lightning fast draw with her two Heavy Blaster Pistols, which she hides under her work vest, which is loaded with any tool she might need to fix anything. She is extremely accurate, but the longer and faster she shoots, the more she looses accuracy. As it turns out, she is a decendant of a Corellian Jedi, whom Rostek Horn hid during the same time he was adopting Nejaa Halycon's son. But Shiar refuses any training and just attributes her skill to being a Corellian.
Shiar made great deal of money gambling. She had the CEC build her a custom frieghter of the design of the Action VI, only smaller. She named the ship the Luck of Corell and often refers to the ship as her sister. Her Life's motto, "Better to be lucky than good" is painted on the side. Shiar is both.
Shiar also started her own company, Throndec Industries, which she currently operates out of Iskaayuma on Rodia and the Wookiee Cube. She sells her own custom creations. Her biggest client is the Free Jedi Order and her friend Brulax Ruso.
Shiar favor the look of a tomboyish grease-monkey. She has the Corellian cocky grin and swagger.
