Zhenya Spacestrider

"Even the Resistance's recruiters ought to know the benefits of the casting couch. Perhaps especially the Resistance's recruiters, if the stories about your general are true...."

- Gloram Yobus

Zhenya Spacestrider, nicknamed Zhen, was a female Human who served in Kanjiklub, as a Hutt-educated slave, and later the Resistance. She embarked on a mission to Murkhana with Narra Tynn, using aggressive negotiation to secure Visualist HoloNet feeds to broadcast Resistance Shadowfeeds.

New Republic Era
Zhenya's mother Zofloya was an Imperial officer of the Galactic Empire who was enslaved by the Hutts of the Desilijic kajidic in the chaos following the Battle of Endor, and her father was a Mandalorian mercenary. They conceived a child, and her mother was pregnant during the internal gang war that consumed the Hutt Clans after the death of Jabba Desilijic Tiure. She was liberated as part of the Kanjiklub uprising on Nar Kanji.

Zhenya served as a member of Kanjiklub and was a slave, acquiring Hutt-educated skills at aggressive negotiation. She encountered Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian while the heroes had a dealing with Kanjiklub, and left to join Leia's cause, proving her skills at aggressive negotiation.

Serving the New Republic, Zhenya was paired with the Twi'lek Narra Tynn, and accompanied her on a number of missions. They both became special Resistance operatives under General Organa, serving in her SABE Unit.

Resistance Era
"We happy? Zhen? We happy?" "Yeah, we happy."

- Narra Tynn and Zhenya Spacestrider

Around the time of the Hosnian Cataclysm, Zhenya and Narra were dispatched by General Organa on a mission to Murkhana, assigned to make contact with the Visualists to gather information on suspected First Order collaborators in the New Republic. The agents used former Separatist equipment and Visualist sympathizers to slice into the HoloNet to discover potential blackmail information, and viewed findings on a holoscreen. Tynn asked Spacestrider if they were happy with the results, to which the Human girl agreed.

Still on Murkhana as of the Battle of Starkiller Base, Zhenya and Narra used their Hutt-educated skills to aggressively negotiate with the Visualist slicers in exchange for broadcasting Resistance Shadowfeeds and coordinating communications with allies in the Outer Rim Territories. However, upon hearing news of Han Solo's death from the Resistance Headquarters on D'Qar, the girls approached the holofilm producer Gloram Yobus, who supervised the Visualists, about sending out notices of Solo's death, as well as adventurous anecdotes and scathing condemnations of his murder. Yobus agreed on the condition that the girls auditioned on his casting couch to be starlets in new propaganda vids. They accepted, reminded of their former lives as slaves, and briefly returned to their old ways to service Yobus by offering up their bodies. The girls proved especially persuasive, and Visualist feeds were soon reconfigured to broadcast Resistance Shadowfeeds into the depths of the underworld to combat First Order propaganda.

General Organa viewed a snippet of holographic footage of Zhenya and Narra's mission on Murkhana, displayed by BB-8 while the droid endeavored to project footage of a liaison on Ztdetelik.
