Zal Castra

Zal Castra was a born into a Mandalorian clan and raised as a warrior, as per tradition. At age 16 she had fought as a mercenary in several battles already by the side of her clan. Displaying extraordinary proficiency with her beskade, it seemed like she would one day become the leader of her clan. However, when on a mission for a mining guild, which had decided to solve a feud over mini rights by means of violence, Zal disobeyed the contract and orders given by her employer. She spared the rivaling company’s workers and only killed the security guards, even though the contract stated to wipe out any opposition, including civilians. While this was certainly the right choice from her point of view, her actions were seen as treason and cowardice by her clan and she was subsequently banished, fated to spend the rest of her life as an outcast. Reluctant to accept this decision however, Zal went on to seek out other outcast and over time built a new clan, Clan Jiyu, which held up a higher moral code than other clans and within hundreds of outcasts gathered eventually.
