Aasha Singh, rescued Imperial Slave and the face of the Pegasi Pirate War, was spotted recently at Orcinox's Orbiter assisting authorities with the resettlement of refugees. A line of people stood ahead of the table where Aasha's blue wig peaked out from beneath a traditional freedmen's Pileus cap.
When asked about why she shaved her head Aasha replied that it is a local Munshin tradition for a freed slave to shave her head and wear a soft cap: a tradition that experts say dates to ancient times on Earth. "I think this is part of any Imperial citizen's calling," said Aasha, "but my experience at the hands of the Crew gives me a valuable perspective on the lives these people are leaving behind." The interview was cut short by Aasha's insistence she return to work.
Though the war rages on, brave men and women can look to heroes like Aasha Singh as an example of Imperial fortitude.
