Shogo

Shogo was a 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.

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. 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.

Shogo first appeared in Ronin: A Visions Novel, which was written by Emma Mieko Candon as a tie-in to the Star Wars: Visions short film "The Duel;" however, the character does not appear in the short film.

Candon confirmed via social media that the hormones referenced in Ronin: A Visions Novel are hormone replacement therapy used by transgender individuals.
