Shogo

This article is non-canon within the canon continuity. This article covers a subject from a Star Wars: Visions story that Lucasfilm declared is set in an alternate history within a reimagined galaxy.

Shogo was a trans male individual from the planet Rei'izu who, as a youngling, was taken by the Sith to become a trooper. Ekiya, a female who shared Shogo's homeworld, became close to him during that time. On the pair's first mission, their commander shattered Shogo's knee. He could not afford a transplant, and by the time his fellow troops had accumulated enough money to pay for it, he did not trust having someone else's technology and proprietary parts in his body. Instead, he created his own knee brace.^[1]

After the Sith rebellion, Shogo became a slicer. He would work on jobs for years, a little bit at a time, avoiding the singular attention-grabbing actions that got other slicers caught. Shogo's work included disabling both a planet-wide banking system and a Jedi fleet. He stayed in contact with Ekiya and kept emergency stashes of hormones on her starship, the Poor Crow. Ekiya had a personal mission to return the relics of Rei'izu's refugees to their world; Shogo disagreed with her and considered it a lost cause. Nevertheless, he assisted her with supplies and she commissioned him to create a new replacement prosthetic for the man known as the Ronin.^[1]
