Lessa was born around [[2535]]. She and Niko grew up together on the impoverished [[outer colony]] of [[Aleria]]. The two of them eventually worked out a system wherein Lessa would use fein interest in a target and charm them while Niko lurked nearby, hacking into the victim's [[COM pad|commpad]]. In [[2555]], [[Rion Forge]] was visiting the mining slums on the planet when Lessa and Niko targeted her for their scam. Rion managed to catch on to what Lessa was up to, however. Instead of turning she and her brother over to the local authorities, she offered both of them positions on her vessel, the ''Ace of Spades''.  

After completing a six-week long job that included a stop at [[Komoya]] at the end of [[2556]], the crew of the ''Ace of Spades'' returned to [[New Tyne]], [[Venezia]] in January of [[2557]] for what Lessa and others presumed would be a time of restful shore leave. Rion had left room in her mind for other plans, however. While she met with [[Nor Fel]] at the [[Kig-Yar]]'s [[Nor Fel's clearing house|clearing house]], Lessa and the a new hire, [[Kip Silas]], waited outside at their truck. Rion eventually emerged and broke the news to Kip and Lessa: they had a new objective. Lessa responded to this revelation with apparent frustration and anger, since the crew had been promised a break. She quickly calmed down and resigned herself to the change in fortune, however, and Rion surmised that as much as she protested, she couldn't resist a score any more than she or any other crew member could. The next stop was the dive bar, [[Tiny Birds]]. Fel had told Rion that she ought to talk to its owner, [[Rouse]], about the potential of a large piece of salvage waiting to be discovered. As the trio walked through the bar, Rion was accosted and harassed by a man named [[Cottrell]]. Cottrell's words caused Rion to momentarily lapse into a state of memory that she was only brought out of at Lessa's insistence. After meeting with Rouse and learning the location of a ship's wreckage, Less, Rion, and Kip made their way to the [[New Tyne Airfield]] where the others and their ship waited.<ref name="ItF"/>
