Cinta Kaz was a human female who was a member of the rebel network operated by Luthen Rael in resistance to the Galactic Empire. At some point, Kaz’s entire family were killed by stormtroopers. Kaz became a member of a team that fellow rebel, and Kaz’s eventual lover, Vel Sartha led on a mission to break into the armory of the garrison on Aldhani and steal an Imperial sector’s quarterly payroll of more than 80 million credits. Another member of that team, Cassian Andor, had been recruited by Rael within days of the mission. During the mission, Kaz shot the Imperial Colonel Soden Petigar and held Commandant Jayhold Beehaz’s wife and son hostage to force his cooperation. Although the theft was successful, the only survivors of the mission were Kaz, Sartha, and Andor.
