Biography
Early Life
Born into the Alderaanian nobility from the Hejaran Barony family line on Year -13, Day 219, she is the current heir of the Hejaran ancestral lands on the remote world of Tepasi II in the Alderaan Sector.
Contrary to what most people expect from Alderaanians, Calindra grew up in the desertic and savage wilderness of her native planet, and is not familiar with Aladeraan’s lush ad verdant capital. Instead, she has grown up among Tepasi's deeply superstitious and proud colonists who consider themselves stronger and more disciplined than their cousins from the capital.
Like most young nobles, she took up fencing, enjoyed dueling, and was schooled early in the arts of diplomacy and trade. As a consequence, Calindra is at ease with people of all classes and easily shift between political matters and more personal subjects, as the situation warrants.
Wanting to change the world, she tries to suggest changes to how the Barony operates in order to generate more revenues, only to have all her ideas shot down by her father. Feeling the need to prove herself to her father, she eventually left her beloved Tepasi II and sought employment off-world.
A love of Cards: The Founding of the Hejaran Gambling Syndicate
As a young noble far away from home, Calindra quickly took to spending the excess of credits she had and quickly got into the habit of making friendly wagers, and was always at her happiest whenever friends decided to play cards. She was eventually introduced to Michael Bourne during one of his galactically reknowned Pazaak Tournaments, and she quickly seized the opportunity to work more closely with Michael in various business side projects. One such project was the Hejaran Gambling Syndicate which offers book keeping (betting) services for the various gambling tournaments across the galaxy.
As a consequence, Calindra has met several of her business associates at the Pazaak tables, and has forged a few friendships with entrepreneurs and gamblers alike. Of note is Mando trade baron Werda Mird, who eventually proposed a friendly wager with the young baroness, in which he dared her to play Pazaak against him. If she were to win, he’d pay her a month’s worth of her current of salary plus bonuses. However, if she lost, she would have to work for him a whole month. They have yet to play against one another to finalize that bet, however sources say that Calindra almost jumped on the occasion; her only real hesitation being that she had duties within the Tion Hegemony at the time and couldn’t give her word to work for someone else.
Tion Hegemony
Career
Calindra joined the Hegemony on Day 16, Year 15, and immediately set to work for Tion Engineering and Construction (TEC) under Stephanie Barefoot-Rhode's supervision. Tionese service records indicate that Calindra got along well with her colleagues; worked on several planetary builds; gave a lot of her free time to various creative side projects; and assisted with recruitment as a Recruitment Liaison officer. She was quickly noticed by her superiors and rose through the ranks accordingly.
Neriagate
Some believe that Calindra was instrumental in what was eventually to be dubbed the "Neriagate" affair, and that she lead a coalition that demanded Neria's removal. However, historical and political evidence suggests that no such demands were ever made, and that Neria's eventual expulsion from the Tion Hegemony resulted from a combination of factors. Namely: Neria’s own disenchantment with the Hegemony’s decision to restructure the Sentient Resource Program (SRP) into the Tion Trading Bureau (TTB); the creation of a civilian reservist project called the Flotilla that Neria Derycke was to spearhead, as well Neria’s constant refusal to respect the military or civilian chains of command in its implementation. The only records that implicate Calindra directly to Neriagate are a series of discussion logs that Calindra handed over to the Tion High Command, requesting that they confirm or deny Neria's actual orders and stating that until such time as the orders weren't confirmed that Calindra was revoking Neria's access to the discussion boards.
Things eventually came to a head the following morning, when Michael Bourne resigned his commission from the Tionese Military. Some historians believe that this caused sufficient uproar that it -- combined with Neria’s constant conflict with other people in authority within the Hegemony -- eventually led to the Lord Hegemon’s decision to expulse Neria Derycke from the Hegemony later that same day.
Avance Coalition - The Harbingers, and the rise of the Kingdom of Elysia
The fallout from the "Neriagate" affair eventually precipitated the departure of her very close friend and confidant, Xyre Weltmon, from the Tion military. This eventually led Calindra to take leave from her duties with the Hegemony (some might even argue that she resigned) in order to follow Xyre and make a new start with the Avance Coalition’s religious faction The Harbingers on D349 of Year 15. Little did she know how much of the Coalition had been subverted by the Trade Federation.
Indeed, shortly after her arrival in Avance territory, the leader of the Avance Coalition (Navik Ikron) decided to hand over Avance's territories to the Trade Federation, while several members of his cabinet accepted high ranking positions within the Federation. This was opposed by a few of the Coalition's leaders, and the Coalition was fractured between the Wraiths, the Trade Federation, and what would become the Kingdom of Elysia.
