Sam Antha, here.  You can call me Sam or Jolinar.  What do I need to do?

Name: Sam Antha
Callsign: Jolinar
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Species: Twi’lek (Rutian)
Homeworld: Mandalore

Physical Description: 5 ft 6 in, 125 lbs, teal skin, deep purple eyes.  Has vine-like spiral tattoos on both lekku, a tattoo of a krayt dragon in the small of her back, a rose with a thorny stem on her right ankle, a five-pointed star on the outer corner of her left eye, and thorny vines around both wrists.  Has a silver bar piercing her bellybutton with a deep purple crystal on the end of it.  When off-duty she prefers low-riding black or brown leather pants, black or brown leather knee-high boots, black or brown leather midriff-bearing sleeveless tops, black leather belt and holster with a blaster pistol on the right hip, brown leather knee-length coat in cold weather often worn open.

Personality: Brutally honest most of the time, considered abrasive by some and refreshing by others.  Generally not diplomatic or tactful like most people, but can be if she chooses to be.  Tends not to lie most of the time, but is rather accomplished at it when the situation calls for it.  Can be infinitely patient at times, but at other times she acts on her impulses.  Has many secrets and rarely speaks unless she has something to say.  Most people around her underestimate her, and she uses that to her advantage.  She doesn’t shy away from a fight, and in fact tends to revel in a good brawl.  She uses every weapon that comes to hand whether it's a blaster, blade, or her opponents’ mental weaknesses such as the male fascination with female twi’leks.  Doesn’t get scared or intimidated easily, even when her opponents are bigger and stronger than she is.  Doesn’t hesitate to take what she needs when she needs it, and is generally a creature of opportunity.

History: Born on Mandalore to a mercenary mother and an unknown father.  Has no siblings or other relatives that she knows of other than her mother.  Was raised mostly on Mandalore and Tatooine.  Has a wide variety of skills, with skill level ranging from theoretical workings to almost expert.  Understands shyyriwook and is fluent in Huttese, Twi’leki, Basic, and Mandoa.  The only information she’ll give regarding her callsign is that it's a tribute to someone no longer among the living.

The sandwich is an effective maneuver if you can pull it off.  If you have a wingmate, one of you can bait an enemy pilot into pursuit by taking a few potshots at him, and the other can sneak up behind the enemy pilot while he's distracted and take him out with missles or cannons.  The pursuing wingmate should make sure that the leading wingmate is clear of the blast radius before firing on the enemy craft.

For those pilots who can pull it off, an aerial flip is an effective and efficient way of taking out or evading an enemy pilot who is pursuing you.  This can be done either in space or in atmosphere, and in theory is simple.  In practice, if the pilot is off even slightly on her timing, the results can be disasterous.  Basically, the pilot being pursued temporarily stalls the craft using their repulsors and executes a tight upward vertical turn, flipping over the pursuing enemy craft and coming out of the flip behind them.  The pilot can then take out the enemy fighter almost immediately, or if the pilot can't fire her weapons for whatever reason, instead of coming out of the flip behind the enemy fighter, the pilot can then continue in the opposite direction from the enemy, righting her craft as she goes.
