Shonn Volta was a Humanoid Force-sensitive female captain, sniper, and assassin of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the Clone Wars, she was captured by Jedi Master Kit Fisto and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and imprisoned within The Prism. After the rise of the Galactic Empire and the subsequent Gentis coup, Volta was one of the few prisoners who survived a brutal test and were allowed to join the New Order. She then helped to take back Coruscant in a surprise attack that culminated with Emperor Palpatine's execution of Headmaster Gentis.
