Firefly: The Artful Dodger OOC

The Artful Dodger
The Background
It's the beginning of the year 2520, just over a year since the infamous Captain Malcolm Reynolds used Asbach's (Mr. Universe) equipment to release a seriously disturbing broadcast revealing the planet Miranda, the Alliance's attempt to chemically control a planet, as well as the true origins of the Reavers. Mal's broadcast stirred the emotions of people across the universe, and ex-independent faction soldiers (Browncoats) began recruiting any and all volunteer citizens to fight against the Alliance, in hopes to gain the freedom that they had fought for and lost Unification Day 2511.
All supporters of the independent faction are being fleshed out from the core, and are escaping to the sketchy planets in the outer rim. Most planets don't have the means to support the large numbers of people arriving, so piracy within the core is more active than ever before. Some outer rim planets are hostile to the newcomers, and many innocent people have fallen victim to such hostility. These outbursts have forced independent soldiers and citizens to lose trust with each other, and approaching an outer rim planet always merits extreme caution. As of now, soldiers of the independent faction are many, but they are spread out and formless. Word is that Captain Malcolm Reynolds has an extensive military base, but the location remains unknown to the masses for protection.
The Plot
Mal's secret base is located deep within Serenity Valley, and after a year of strengthening the defenses, it had become the most fortified independent base in all of the 'Verse. Due to Alliance suspicions, most of the more fighter-based ships have been docked and the only boats that the Browncoats were able to get ahold of in abundance were Firefly class freighters. Fortunately, the Browncoats have some of the best crewmen, so most of these ships have been outfitted with weapons systems.
For a while things ran smoothly, and the independents were busy planning a strategic strafing run on a major Alliance space station. Just before these plans were set into action, Serenity Valley was surrounded and attacked from all directions. The base went into a panic, and Mal ordered an immediate evacuation. The escaping independents were slaughtered in a fashion resembling the loss at Serenity Valley 9 years prior. J.W. and his crew, aboard a freshly refurbished and outfitted Firefly called the Artful Dodger, are one of the few that made it off the ground and away from Hera. They have lost contact with everyone from the base, and have to make a decision as to what they should do next.

Name: Celestia Pauga
Alias: Sally
Gender: Female
Age: Born October of year 2486; 34 years old
Job:Second in Command
Appearance:
Bio: At 16, Sally began her training as a companion, and at 21 she officially started her career. For thirteen years, Sally was a very successful member of the illustrious and noble Companion’s Guild. Traveling the Core, many of her clients were high-ranking members of a Core World's administration, though she was not selective on only rank. When the broadcast was emitted across the ‘Verse, she questioned her clients on the matter, and was met with a much darker fate than she had anticipated: she was branded as an independent sympathetic and banished from the Core.
The Alliance had little control over the Guild, and could not remove her from her career. Because she was such an important member, The Guild agreed to give her all the support she needed, though they (and she) realized that her career as a Companion was likely over. The Alliance didn’t bother to try and attack the Guild on the matter; as long as she stayed out of the Core, they wouldn't be hunt her down. It is needless to say that it was detriment to her survival that she joined the independent faction. Her harsh treatment by the Alliance officials gave her a personal reason to do so.
Sally can fire a weapon easily enough, but her true skills lie in melee combat. After displaying these skills she was easily accepted as basic infantry for the independents. Sally chose to hide the fact that she was once a Companion, and keeps in contact with the Guild only when she is in desperate need of information or supplies. The only item from her past life is a beautifully crafted one handed sword, and two small daggers. These weapons were made personally for her, and she fights best with them.
Eventually, she found the base at Serenity Valley, though she never personally met Captain Mal (which she had heard rumors from Inara about). She teamed up with the Captain of the Artful Dodger, and soon worked her way to second in command. Her calm demeanor combined with overall understanding of military tactics made her ideal for the job. When the Alliance attacked, she ran aboard the Artful Dodger, and with kudos to their outstanding pilot, they were one of the few that survived.
