My take on the deceased bounty hunter Aurra Sing. Too bad she was killed by Becket. I really liked the Jedi hunter aspect of her - but that was mostly legends anyways. What do you think about Aurra Sing?

Of all the trees on Dry Plain around Lugarno this is my favourite.

There's something special about it for me, its defiant shape, standing tall to the harsh elements that challenge it, somehow laughing, and singing with the strength of its resiliance.
