Description
Phasma grew up in the Scyre clan on Parnassos, a world devastated by a nuclear catastrophe, and became a warrior there and later the clan's war leader. Seeking to leave the planet, she helped the First Order general Brendol Hux reach his ship, betraying her own clan and her brother Keldo in the process, after which she broke with her former life.
In the First Order she rose to head the stormtrooper training program. Together with her patron's son, General Armitage Hux, she arranged the murder of Brendol Hux; for this, a former protégé of the dead man, known as Cardinal, tried to kill her. Having strengthened her position, Phasma joined an unofficial triumvirate with Hux and Kylo Ren.
She took part in the massacre of the village of Tuanul on Jakku, an event that drove the stormtrooper FN-2187 to flee. At Starkiller Base, he, together with Han Solo and Chewbacca, forced her to lower the shields; having survived, Phasma pinned the blame for the base's destruction on Lieutenant Sol Rivas and hunted him down. She died aboard the flagship Supremacy, falling into the flames.
