[[Alani Myrtel]] is a 27 year old female from [[Coruscanti]] descent. She left the Coruscant sector in Year 22 looking for work and to expand her knowledge and experience about the space beyond. She used to work as a captain for the neutral nation of [[One Nation Under Jou]], in the [[Morobe (System)|Morobe]] system. Now she finds herself back home, serving the Empire as a member of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps.

__TOC__

=Description=

Alani is a relatively short Coruscanti woman, standing at 5' 6" tall (167cm). Off-duty, she can often be found wearing casual clothes, such as cargo jeans, tank tops, and loose shirts. However, in public she presents herself more professionally, in a dress, suit or uniform. Her natural hair color is brown, but much to her father's chagrin, she was known to dye her hair all sorts of colors in her youth. Her complexion can be described as 'pale but not too pale', and her natural eye color is blue.

Due to her upbringing in the planetwide ecumenopolis, Alani never extensively interacted with non-humans. Living on the upper layers of Coruscant, and growing up under the Imperial influence of her father left her to develop a natural wariness for aliens. Once she departed from the city-planet in Year 22, she had no choice but to cooperate with other races. As such, she started to tolerate them, and finally started to accept them for their usefulness in their own fields of works. By then, she used to say <em>"Sometimes, you need to accept that a Class C may possess the ideal skillset that is needed for the job."</em> Her preferable work partner was still a human one, though, and she was never able to shake off the unease when looking at aliens such as the Baragwin or Hutt. This initial shift of her views let her to view the galaxy, and most notably the Empire's enemies like the Jedi Order, in a more passive manner, realizing that the Imperial propaganda was just that: propaganda. However, this passiveness reverted back to the largely Imperialistic view when Alani's ex-girlfriend Nari Noble died in Year 23.

Generally, you can view Alani as someone who values order and justice, with a generous natural curiosity.

<h2 style="margin-top: .25em">Upbringing</h2>

===A New Soul===

Only two weeks after the Imperial Declaration of War against the Rebel Alliance, on Year 0 Day 14, Alani was born in a Coruscanti hospital to Amy and James Myrtel. Despite the expertise of the Imperial medics, Alani's mother had a complication during childbirth resulting in a pelvis fracture. The medics were initially forced to perform a C-section, but the stubborn mother denied. With a stroke of luck, Alani was birthed healthily. Amy, however, was left with lingering stability and walking issues for the rest of her life.

===The Years Ahead===

Alani and her family had the luxury of being decently-off, living in a family apartment on one of Coruscant's upper layers. Free from most petty crime of the lowest layers, the girl was able to enjoy the comforts of a well-educated childhood. In the following years, she followed a minor management course, with her free time being spent taking care of her mother. Over the course of those years her caring duties slowly began to fall on droids. Alani was more interested in going out enjoying the nightly life of the mega-capital when she reached adulthood. It was at this time that she learned she was attracted to both genders. Unable to stay attached to to a person for too long, she decided to not commit to a relationship until she had found the one.

===The Father that Looked===

James, Alani's father, was an honest believer of the Imperial morals. Being an ex-trooper, he had his fair share of combat experience. At the time of Alani's childhood, he was employed by a private security corps outside the system. Due to this, he was away from home more than he was not. When his job did allow him to take a few days off, James spent his time at home, enjoying the company of his family. It did not take long for Alani to get interested in James's job. Whenever he sat down and talked about his duties, she sat there next to him, glittering, listening carefully. Alani developed an interest in the security work as the Imperial doctrine started growing inside.

===Sprouting Views===

The girl formed her views from both her father and mother: her father's Imperial upbringing and her mother's soft and kind approach. Both traits made for a mix that was Alani's. While living on Coruscant, she did not interact with many non-humans, most of the places she went to were populated mostly by humans. This non-interaction, along with the general segregation that many may think of when thinking about an Imperial society, made her naturally wary of those not like her. While not wholly denying to do business with non-humans, she would think twice when dealing with those who bore little resemblance to the people she grew up with.

==New Experiences==

===Departure from Coruscant===

One could say that the logical route after having been trained in basic blaster combat, would be to enlist and join the Imperial Army. Much to Alani's father's disappointment, Alani chose not to follow this path, deeming herself not yet fully ready to commit to the Empire. She felt that is would be better to first travel the galaxy, to get some real life experience beyond the Empire's influence. The Empire would surely still be at the back of her mind, and her father would make sure to remind Alani not to aid the enemy. It took quite some time to convince James, but he finally saw the advantages in her decision. After all, as Alani would put it, <em>"The more experience I gain, the better chance I'll have at enlisting in the Army."</em>

After having said her goodbyes, Alani would leave the Coruscant Sector in Year 22. She would move from system to system, looking for any decent leads towards a well-paying job. Eventually she found a advertisement of Lone Star Industries, originating from the Venaari System, but was unfortunately quickly disappointed after some research, ultimately not pursuing the ad after certain allegations came to light about the staff of Lone Star. Apparently the company registrars had ties to the then-defunct Exelis Runners—which in turn was a cell of the Exelis Crime Syndicate—and criminal Xyre Weltmon.

=== Glacial Distress ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: [[Year 22]] Day 80-90.</em></small></div>

Moving on, she stumbled upon a promising ad, leading her to the Avindia system. Once closing in on Polus's orbit, the situation took a turn for the worse: Bandits had attacked a YG-4210 freighter, which was forced to send out an emergency message and land on Polus. After an indecisive moment, Alani diverted her course to the current origin of the distress signal. At the location of the signal, plumed of smoke billowed from the beleaguered vessel. A firefight ensued between the bandits and Alani's crew.

Unbeknownst to Alani, a Defender-class designated <em>Crusader</em> had also picked up on the distress signal. The arrival of the <em>Crusader</em> had marked a turning point in the battle. A calculated touchdown between the bandits and the attacked vessel positioned the Defender-class as a protective shield, shielding the vulnerable spaceship from further harm. Swift and precise deployment of ground assault squads, equipped with heavy weapons and jetpacks, caught the bandits off-guard.

The engagement unfolded rapidly, with the jetpack squads descending upon the bandits and providing the needed firepower. Meanwhile, the long-range squad provided suppressing fire, ensuring that the bandits had little to no room to maneuver. The well-coordinated efforts of the Crusader's forces prevailed, quelling the threat posed by the bandits. The crew of the Crusader served under One Nation Under Jou, who were on a mission in the system. This event unexpectedly forged an alliance, with Alani eventually diverting towards the Morobe system to enlist in the neutral nation's forces. Passing the hundredth day of Year 22, Alani found herself employed as an officer cadet.

=== Revelations ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 22, Day 295.</em></small></div>

Alani, at the time a Second Lieutenant within One Nation Under Jou, was stationed aboard the Defender-class Light Corvette <em>Templar</em> during a flight from Morobe to Nimban. As the vessel approached its rendezvous, the 2LT's thoughts dwelled on a peculiar event from the previous day. The Templar suffered from some unusual hyperspace turbulence, resulting in a wrongly-fastened crate falling on top of her. With no space to duck away, Alani instinctively raised her hands in an attempt to 'cushion' the impact. To her astonishment—when she opened her eyes—the crate had not impacted her. It remained in the air, defying the artificial gravity in the cargo hold. This inexplicable incident left her with lingering question, so much that she decided not yet to report the incident. A glitch in the artificial gravity systems, as local as that, would be nigh impossible.

As the <em>Templar</em> approached Nimban, Alani prepared herself and her squad for the arrival of Lilith Delcroix, monarch of Vorsia Companion and leader of One Nation, whose security was partly her responsibility. Their encounter took an unexpected turn when the monarch sensed a connection to the Force within Alani. Alani would later be summoned before her in the Templar's chapel. Here they discussed the Force, with the Coruscanti recounting her incident in the cargo hold. Lilith offered to asses Alani's Force sensitivity, and explained the potential dangers on an untrained Force user. Alani agreed, and this encounter marked the beginning of her journey towards harnessing the Force.

=== A Darker Side ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 23, Day 297.</em></small></div>

Alani never really was religious, so to say. She believed in results, in physical objects, things she could see or sense. This did change a bit with the incident at the end of Year 22. One spot she was found regularly though was the temple area of Illumine Palace in Moroa. A place with a peculiarly serene aura, despite the many visitors, despite the fact that at that day the Guard’s alert was heightened because of a visit of some Red Lotus emissaries. One of the pros of the Palace was the fact that no one really disturbed you unnecessarily. After all, what if you were praying?

Ever since she found out she had the Force on her side, she would spend a portion of her free time attuning to it. Nothing serious: most of the time it would be meditation of sorts, nothing flashy. She was compelled to learn more from it, for she felt something was missing. So far, it had led her to a number of pieces of a sword of light scattered around the system, a tool similar to what her Lordship would wield. Incidentally, during her meditation or sleep, she would see light flickers, as if passed through an orange-hued crystal. Sometimes, a jolt of electricity would tingle from her fingertips, an unpleasant feeling, perhaps a way of the Force to say ‘enough!’?

On Year 23, somewhere around Day 297, that same invisible energy made Alani’s eyes jolt wide open as she was standing in the Palace’s halls. As if someone gut-punched her out of the blue, she dropped her datapad and heaved for air. Picking up the computer, she locked herself in a nearby bathroom until the nauseating, unpleasant feeling went away. Minutes passed, the sickly feeling still present. Flashes of that same orange she used to see during her meditation appeared before her closed eyes. Something was wrong, very wrong. Her ring-necklace felt abnormally warm to the touch. The feeling ended with an image of a familiar Hapan woman. As a tear rolled down the Coruscanti’s cheek, a feeling of despair, death, and depression overwhelmed her, followed by sadness as she washed her face with cold water.

This moment marked a change in Alani’s alignment, with Nari’s demise having reached her through the strings of the Force. Perhaps not an entirely rational one, but a change it was.

== Back to her roots ==

=== Never Far from Home ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 240.</em></small></div>

Now comfortable for a while as a Captain in the Moroa Guards, she had some time to reminisce about her past on Coruscant. In particular about the promise she made to her father. One day she would return, when she deemed she had gotten enough ‘galactic’ experience. The recent One Nation move towards the Confederacy might have accelerated her decision-making – perhaps unfounded – yet she refrained from jumping ship abruptly. Just after an important delegation mission on Moroa, Alani started taking the necessary preparations for her departure.

She knew she was about to forego a considerable amount of freedom, on several fronts, but it was for the best. After informing the Crown and attending a last ceremony, she made her way to her Sprint-class to head back to orbit. Flying at a steady high orbit off of Morobe was a considerable fleet of both One Nation, Confederate, as well as her own ships. The Sprint was heading towards the nearby Corona-class frigate to offload some cargo and to gather Alani’s belongings. The crew of both the frigate and the star cruiser would have to be put on minimum for quite some time; at least enough to defend themselves and to keep everything alive. It would not be the wisest of choices to arrive in Prakith with a small armada, lest the next thing she would own would be an artificial asteroid field. Ready for takeoff, she said her last goodbyes and initiated hyper travel. The Academy was not far away, just shy of two days, the perfect time prepare herself.

“Captain’s Log, well… I guess it is not ‘Captain’ anymore. Personal Log it is.”

=== Academic Refresh ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 243—248.</em></small></div>

Ever vigilant, the forces of the Galactic Empire halted Alani’s travels towards the planet of Prakith. The defensive space stations surrounding one of the bastions of galactic stability ordered her to stay put, so she did. Alani introduced herself and provided the necessary proof that she was to attend to the Academy’s business as soon as she arrived. Satisfied with her reasoning, and deeming the Sprint-class as not being a threat, Command let her pass to the planet’s orbit, where a shuttle would be waiting for her.

The Academy planet was as it was stated in the brochure. The heart of the Galactic Empire’s educational system, its grounds ever beautiful in the morning sunrise. With its Gothic and white-marbled look, it emanated excellence of a high degree, and its busy surroundings revealed a steady stream of humans and aliens alike. The Empire attracted people of all classes, quite in contrast to what other sources would make you believe.

She was escorted off of the Academy shuttle, and brought to the entrance. Here, she was left to her own, though she did get directions to her supposed training officer. Once inside the training officer’s office, she was surprised to see their face. For one, it was a Rodian, not someone you would expect to lead recruits to their graduation. And two, it was a Rodian she had seen before on Moroa during a ██████████ visit, together with the head of ██████████ and the ██████████. After making a rather awkward introduction, she was sent to her bunk with the necessary things she would need to prepare for the upcoming tests.

A number of days passed, and a lot of reading and tests later, and she stood again in front of the training officer’s office. With her she had a waiver for the second more practical half of the course and she was in high spirits after seeing her score so far. Her feeling was right, as the training officer had an honors ribbon to present to her.

Alani Myrtel:

{{Template:Responsive Character Page
| character-infobox-width = 375px
| intro =
[[Alani Myrtel]] is a 27 year old female from [[Coruscanti]] descent. She left the Coruscant sector in Year 22 looking for work and to expand her knowledge and experience about the space beyond. She used to work as a captain for the neutral nation of [[One Nation Under Jou]], in the [[Morobe (System)|Morobe]] system. Now she finds herself back home, serving the Empire as a member of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps.

__TOC__

=Description=

Alani is a relatively short Coruscanti woman, standing at 5' 6" tall (167cm). Off-duty, she can often be found wearing casual clothes, such as cargo jeans, tank tops, and loose shirts. However, in public she presents herself more professionally, in a dress, suit or uniform. Her natural hair color is brown, but much to her father's chagrin, she was known to dye her hair all sorts of colors in her youth. Her complexion can be described as 'pale but not too pale', and her natural eye color is blue.

Due to her upbringing in the planetwide ecumenopolis, Alani never extensively interacted with non-humans. Living on the upper layers of Coruscant, and growing up under the Imperial influence of her father left her to develop a natural wariness for aliens. Once she departed from the city-planet in Year 22, she had no choice but to cooperate with other races. As such, she started to tolerate them, and finally started to accept them for their usefulness in their own fields of works. By then, she used to say <em>"Sometimes, you need to accept that a Class C may possess the ideal skillset that is needed for the job."</em> Her preferable work partner was still a human one, though, and she was never able to shake off the unease when looking at aliens such as the Baragwin or Hutt. This initial shift of her views let her to view the galaxy, and most notably the Empire's enemies like the Jedi Order, in a more passive manner, realizing that the Imperial propaganda was just that: propaganda. However, this passiveness reverted back to the largely Imperialistic view when Alani's ex-girlfriend Nari Noble died in Year 23.

Generally, you can view Alani as someone who values order and justice, with a generous natural curiosity.

<h1 style="margin-top: 0em">Biography</h1>

<h2 style="margin-top: .25em">Upbringing</h2>

===A New Soul===

Only two weeks after the Imperial Declaration of War against the Rebel Alliance, on Year 0 Day 14, Alani was born in a Coruscanti hospital to Amy and James Myrtel. Despite the expertise of the Imperial medics, Alani's mother had a complication during childbirth resulting in a pelvis fracture. The medics were initially forced to perform a C-section, but the stubborn mother denied. With a stroke of luck, Alani was birthed healthily. Amy, however, was left with lingering stability and walking issues for the rest of her life.

===The Years Ahead===

Alani and her family had the luxury of being decently-off, living in a family apartment on one of Coruscant's upper layers. Free from most petty crime of the lowest layers, the girl was able to enjoy the comforts of a well-educated childhood. In the following years, she followed a minor management course, with her free time being spent taking care of her mother. Over the course of those years her caring duties slowly began to fall on droids. Alani was more interested in going out enjoying the nightly life of the mega-capital when she reached adulthood. It was at this time that she learned she was attracted to both genders. Unable to stay attached to to a person for too long, she decided to not commit to a relationship until she had found the one.

===The Father that Looked===

James, Alani's father, was an honest believer of the Imperial morals. Being an ex-trooper, he had his fair share of combat experience. At the time of Alani's childhood, he was employed by a private security corps outside the system. Due to this, he was away from home more than he was not. When his job did allow him to take a few days off, James spent his time at home, enjoying the company of his family. It did not take long for Alani to get interested in James's job. Whenever he sat down and talked about his duties, she sat there next to him, glittering, listening carefully. Alani developed an interest in the security work as the Imperial doctrine started growing inside.

===Sprouting Views===

The girl formed her views from both her father and mother: her father's Imperial upbringing and her mother's soft and kind approach. Both traits made for a mix that was Alani's. While living on Coruscant, she did not interact with many non-humans, most of the places she went to were populated mostly by humans. This non-interaction, along with the general segregation that many may think of when thinking about an Imperial society, made her naturally wary of those not like her. While not wholly denying to do business with non-humans, she would think twice when dealing with those who bore little resemblance to the people she grew up with.

==New Experiences==

===Departure from Coruscant===

One could say that the logical route after having been trained in basic blaster combat, would be to enlist and join the Imperial Army. Much to Alani's father's disappointment, Alani chose not to follow this path, deeming herself not yet fully ready to commit to the Empire. She felt that is would be better to first travel the galaxy, to get some real life experience beyond the Empire's influence. The Empire would surely still be at the back of her mind, and her father would make sure to remind Alani not to aid the enemy. It took quite some time to convince James, but he finally saw the advantages in her decision. After all, as Alani would put it, <em>"The more experience I gain, the better chance I'll have at enlisting in the Army."</em>

After having said her goodbyes, Alani would leave the Coruscant Sector in Year 22. She would move from system to system, looking for any decent leads towards a well-paying job. Eventually she found a advertisement of Lone Star Industries, originating from the Venaari System, but was unfortunately quickly disappointed after some research, ultimately not pursuing the ad after certain allegations came to light about the staff of Lone Star. Apparently the company registrars had ties to the then-defunct Exelis Runners—which in turn was a cell of the Exelis Crime Syndicate—and criminal Xyre Weltmon.

=== Glacial Distress ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: [[Year 22]] Day 80-90.</em></small></div>

Moving on, she stumbled upon a promising ad, leading her to the Avindia system. Once closing in on Polus's orbit, the situation took a turn for the worse: Bandits had attacked a YG-4210 freighter, which was forced to send out an emergency message and land on Polus. After an indecisive moment, Alani diverted her course to the current origin of the distress signal. At the location of the signal, plumed of smoke billowed from the beleaguered vessel. A firefight ensued between the bandits and Alani's crew.

Unbeknownst to Alani, a Defender-class designated <em>Crusader</em> had also picked up on the distress signal. The arrival of the <em>Crusader</em> had marked a turning point in the battle. A calculated touchdown between the bandits and the attacked vessel positioned the Defender-class as a protective shield, shielding the vulnerable spaceship from further harm. Swift and precise deployment of ground assault squads, equipped with heavy weapons and jetpacks, caught the bandits off-guard.

The engagement unfolded rapidly, with the jetpack squads descending upon the bandits and providing the needed firepower. Meanwhile, the long-range squad provided suppressing fire, ensuring that the bandits had little to no room to maneuver. The well-coordinated efforts of the Crusader's forces prevailed, quelling the threat posed by the bandits. The crew of the Crusader served under One Nation Under Jou, who were on a mission in the system. This event unexpectedly forged an alliance, with Alani eventually diverting towards the Morobe system to enlist in the neutral nation's forces. Passing the hundredth day of Year 22, Alani found herself employed as an officer cadet.

=== Revelations ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 22, Day 295.</em></small></div>

Alani, at the time a Second Lieutenant within One Nation Under Jou, was stationed aboard the Defender-class Light Corvette <em>Templar</em> during a flight from Morobe to Nimban. As the vessel approached its rendezvous, the 2LT's thoughts dwelled on a peculiar event from the previous day. The Templar suffered from some unusual hyperspace turbulence, resulting in a wrongly-fastened crate falling on top of her. With no space to duck away, Alani instinctively raised her hands in an attempt to 'cushion' the impact. To her astonishment—when she opened her eyes—the crate had not impacted her. It remained in the air, defying the artificial gravity in the cargo hold. This inexplicable incident left her with lingering question, so much that she decided not yet to report the incident. A glitch in the artificial gravity systems, as local as that, would be nigh impossible.

As the <em>Templar</em> approached Nimban, Alani prepared herself and her squad for the arrival of Lilith Delcroix, monarch of Vorsia Companion and leader of One Nation, whose security was partly her responsibility. Their encounter took an unexpected turn when the monarch sensed a connection to the Force within Alani. Alani would later be summoned before her in the Templar's chapel. Here they discussed the Force, with the Coruscanti recounting her incident in the cargo hold. Lilith offered to asses Alani's Force sensitivity, and explained the potential dangers on an untrained Force user. Alani agreed, and this encounter marked the beginning of her journey towards harnessing the Force.

=== A Darker Side ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 23, Day 297.</em></small></div>

Alani never really was religious, so to say. She believed in results, in physical objects, things she could see or sense. This did change a bit with the incident at the end of Year 22. One spot she was found regularly though was the temple area of Illumine Palace in Moroa. A place with a peculiarly serene aura, despite the many visitors, despite the fact that at that day the Guard’s alert was heightened because of a visit of some Red Lotus emissaries. One of the pros of the Palace was the fact that no one really disturbed you unnecessarily. After all, what if you were praying?

Ever since she found out she had the Force on her side, she would spend a portion of her free time attuning to it. Nothing serious: most of the time it would be meditation of sorts, nothing flashy. She was compelled to learn more from it, for she felt something was missing. So far, it had led her to a number of pieces of a sword of light scattered around the system, a tool similar to what her Lordship would wield. Incidentally, during her meditation or sleep, she would see light flickers, as if passed through an orange-hued crystal. Sometimes, a jolt of electricity would tingle from her fingertips, an unpleasant feeling, perhaps a way of the Force to say ‘enough!’?

On Year 23, somewhere around Day 297, that same invisible energy made Alani’s eyes jolt wide open as she was standing in the Palace’s halls. As if someone gut-punched her out of the blue, she dropped her datapad and heaved for air. Picking up the computer, she locked herself in a nearby bathroom until the nauseating, unpleasant feeling went away. Minutes passed, the sickly feeling still present. Flashes of that same orange she used to see during her meditation appeared before her closed eyes. Something was wrong, very wrong. Her ring-necklace felt abnormally warm to the touch. The feeling ended with an image of a familiar Hapan woman. As a tear rolled down the Coruscanti’s cheek, a feeling of despair, death, and depression overwhelmed her, followed by sadness as she washed her face with cold water.

This moment marked a change in Alani’s alignment, with Nari’s demise having reached her through the strings of the Force. Perhaps not an entirely rational one, but a change it was.

== Back to her roots ==

=== Never Far from Home ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 240.</em></small></div>

Now comfortable for a while as a Captain in the Moroa Guards, she had some time to reminisce about her past on Coruscant. In particular about the promise she made to her father. One day she would return, when she deemed she had gotten enough ‘galactic’ experience. The recent One Nation move towards the Confederacy might have accelerated her decision-making – perhaps unfounded – yet she refrained from jumping ship abruptly. Just after an important delegation mission on Moroa, Alani started taking the necessary preparations for her departure.

She knew she was about to forego a considerable amount of freedom, on several fronts, but it was for the best. After informing the Crown and attending a last ceremony, she made her way to her Sprint-class to head back to orbit. Flying at a steady high orbit off of Morobe was a considerable fleet of both One Nation, Confederate, as well as her own ships. The Sprint was heading towards the nearby Corona-class frigate to offload some cargo and to gather Alani’s belongings. The crew of both the frigate and the star cruiser would have to be put on minimum for quite some time; at least enough to defend themselves and to keep everything alive. It would not be the wisest of choices to arrive in Prakith with a small armada, lest the next thing she would own would be an artificial asteroid field. Ready for takeoff, she said her last goodbyes and initiated hyper travel. The Academy was not far away, just shy of two days, the perfect time prepare herself.

“Captain’s Log, well… I guess it is not ‘Captain’ anymore. Personal Log it is.”

=== Academic Refresh ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 243—248.</em></small></div>

Ever vigilant, the forces of the Galactic Empire halted Alani’s travels towards the planet of Prakith. The defensive space stations surrounding one of the bastions of galactic stability ordered her to stay put, so she did. Alani introduced herself and provided the necessary proof that she was to attend to the Academy’s business as soon as she arrived. Satisfied with her reasoning, and deeming the Sprint-class as not being a threat, Command let her pass to the planet’s orbit, where a shuttle would be waiting for her.

The Academy planet was as it was stated in the brochure. The heart of the Galactic Empire’s educational system, its grounds ever beautiful in the morning sunrise. With its Gothic and white-marbled look, it emanated excellence of a high degree, and its busy surroundings revealed a steady stream of humans and aliens alike. The Empire attracted people of all classes, quite in contrast to what other sources would make you believe.

She was escorted off of the Academy shuttle, and brought to the entrance. Here, she was left to her own, though she did get directions to her supposed training officer. Once inside the training officer’s office, she was surprised to see their face. For one, it was a Rodian, not someone you would expect to lead recruits to their graduation. And two, it was a Rodian she had seen before on Moroa during a ██████████ visit, together with the head of ██████████ and the ██████████. After making a rather awkward introduction, she was sent to her bunk with the necessary things she would need to prepare for the upcoming tests.

A number of days passed, and a lot of reading and tests later, and she stood again in front of the training officer’s office. With her she had a waiver for the second more practical half of the course and she was in high spirits after seeing her score so far. Her feeling was right, as the training officer had an honors ribbon to present to her.

Alani Myrtel:

{{Template:Responsive Character Page
| character-infobox-width = 375px
| intro =
[[Alani Myrtel]] is a 27 year old female from [[Coruscanti]] descent. She left the Coruscant sector in Year 22 looking for work and to expand her knowledge and experience about the space beyond. She used to work as a captain for the neutral nation of [[One Nation Under Jou]], in the [[Morobe (System)|Morobe]] system. Now she finds herself back home, serving the Empire as a member of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps.

__TOC__

=Description=

Alani is a relatively short Coruscanti woman, standing at 5' 6" tall (167cm). Off-duty, she can often be found wearing casual clothes, such as cargo jeans, tank tops, and loose shirts. However, in public she presents herself more professionally, in a dress, suit or uniform. Her natural hair color is brown, but much to her father's chagrin, she was known to dye her hair all sorts of colors in her youth. Her complexion can be described as 'pale but not too pale', and her natural eye color is blue.

Due to her upbringing in the planetwide ecumenopolis, Alani never extensively interacted with non-humans. Living on the upper layers of Coruscant, and growing up under the Imperial influence of her father left her to develop a natural wariness for aliens. Once she departed from the city-planet in Year 22, she had no choice but to cooperate with other races. As such, she started to tolerate them, and finally started to accept them for their usefulness in their own fields of works. By then, she used to say <em>"Sometimes, you need to accept that a Class C may possess the ideal skillset that is needed for the job."</em> Her preferable work partner was still a human one, though, and she was never able to shake off the unease when looking at aliens such as the Baragwin or Hutt. This initial shift of her views let her to view the galaxy, and most notably the Empire's enemies like the Jedi Order, in a more passive manner, realizing that the Imperial propaganda was just that: propaganda. However, this passiveness reverted back to the largely Imperialistic view when Alani's ex-girlfriend Nari Noble died in Year 23.

Generally, you can view Alani as someone who values order and justice, with a generous natural curiosity.

<h1 style="margin-top: 0em">Biography</h1>

<h2 style="margin-top: .25em">Upbringing</h2>

===A New Soul===

Only two weeks after the Imperial Declaration of War against the Rebel Alliance, on Year 0 Day 14, Alani was born in a Coruscanti hospital to Amy and James Myrtel. Despite the expertise of the Imperial medics, Alani's mother had a complication during childbirth resulting in a pelvis fracture. The medics were initially forced to perform a C-section, but the stubborn mother denied. With a stroke of luck, Alani was birthed healthily. Amy, however, was left with lingering stability and walking issues for the rest of her life.

===The Years Ahead===

Alani and her family had the luxury of being decently-off, living in a family apartment on one of Coruscant's upper layers. Free from most petty crime of the lowest layers, the girl was able to enjoy the comforts of a well-educated childhood. In the following years, she followed a minor management course, with her free time being spent taking care of her mother. Over the course of those years her caring duties slowly began to fall on droids. Alani was more interested in going out enjoying the nightly life of the mega-capital when she reached adulthood. It was at this time that she learned she was attracted to both genders. Unable to stay attached to to a person for too long, she decided to not commit to a relationship until she had found the one.

===The Father that Looked===

James, Alani's father, was an honest believer of the Imperial morals. Being an ex-trooper, he had his fair share of combat experience. At the time of Alani's childhood, he was employed by a private security corps outside the system. Due to this, he was away from home more than he was not. When his job did allow him to take a few days off, James spent his time at home, enjoying the company of his family. It did not take long for Alani to get interested in James's job. Whenever he sat down and talked about his duties, she sat there next to him, glittering, listening carefully. Alani developed an interest in the security work as the Imperial doctrine started growing inside.

===Sprouting Views===

The girl formed her views from both her father and mother: her father's Imperial upbringing and her mother's soft and kind approach. Both traits made for a mix that was Alani's. While living on Coruscant, she did not interact with many non-humans, most of the places she went to were populated mostly by humans. This non-interaction, along with the general segregation that many may think of when thinking about an Imperial society, made her naturally wary of those not like her. While not wholly denying to do business with non-humans, she would think twice when dealing with those who bore little resemblance to the people she grew up with.

==New Experiences==

===Departure from Coruscant===

One could say that the logical route after having been trained in basic blaster combat, would be to enlist and join the Imperial Army. Much to Alani's father's disappointment, Alani chose not to follow this path, deeming herself not yet fully ready to commit to the Empire. She felt that is would be better to first travel the galaxy, to get some real life experience beyond the Empire's influence. The Empire would surely still be at the back of her mind, and her father would make sure to remind Alani not to aid the enemy. It took quite some time to convince James, but he finally saw the advantages in her decision. After all, as Alani would put it, <em>"The more experience I gain, the better chance I'll have at enlisting in the Army."</em>

After having said her goodbyes, Alani would leave the Coruscant Sector in Year 22. She would move from system to system, looking for any decent leads towards a well-paying job. Eventually she found a advertisement of Lone Star Industries, originating from the Venaari System, but was unfortunately quickly disappointed after some research, ultimately not pursuing the ad after certain allegations came to light about the staff of Lone Star. Apparently the company registrars had ties to the then-defunct Exelis Runners—which in turn was a cell of the Exelis Crime Syndicate—and criminal Xyre Weltmon.

=== Glacial Distress ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: [[Year 22]] Day 80-90.</em></small></div>

Moving on, she stumbled upon a promising ad, leading her to the Avindia system. Once closing in on Polus's orbit, the situation took a turn for the worse: Bandits had attacked a YG-4210 freighter, which was forced to send out an emergency message and land on Polus. After an indecisive moment, Alani diverted her course to the current origin of the distress signal. At the location of the signal, plumed of smoke billowed from the beleaguered vessel. A firefight ensued between the bandits and Alani's crew.

Unbeknownst to Alani, a Defender-class designated <em>Crusader</em> had also picked up on the distress signal. The arrival of the <em>Crusader</em> had marked a turning point in the battle. A calculated touchdown between the bandits and the attacked vessel positioned the Defender-class as a protective shield, shielding the vulnerable spaceship from further harm. Swift and precise deployment of ground assault squads, equipped with heavy weapons and jetpacks, caught the bandits off-guard.

The engagement unfolded rapidly, with the jetpack squads descending upon the bandits and providing the needed firepower. Meanwhile, the long-range squad provided suppressing fire, ensuring that the bandits had little to no room to maneuver. The well-coordinated efforts of the Crusader's forces prevailed, quelling the threat posed by the bandits. The crew of the Crusader served under One Nation Under Jou, who were on a mission in the system. This event unexpectedly forged an alliance, with Alani eventually diverting towards the Morobe system to enlist in the neutral nation's forces. Passing the hundredth day of Year 22, Alani found herself employed as an officer cadet.

=== Revelations ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 22, Day 295.</em></small></div>

Alani, at the time a Second Lieutenant within One Nation Under Jou, was stationed aboard the Defender-class Light Corvette <em>Templar</em> during a flight from Morobe to Nimban. As the vessel approached its rendezvous, the 2LT's thoughts dwelled on a peculiar event from the previous day. The Templar suffered from some unusual hyperspace turbulence, resulting in a wrongly-fastened crate falling on top of her. With no space to duck away, Alani instinctively raised her hands in an attempt to 'cushion' the impact. To her astonishment—when she opened her eyes—the crate had not impacted her. It remained in the air, defying the artificial gravity in the cargo hold. This inexplicable incident left her with lingering question, so much that she decided not yet to report the incident. A glitch in the artificial gravity systems, as local as that, would be nigh impossible.

As the <em>Templar</em> approached Nimban, Alani prepared herself and her squad for the arrival of Lilith Delcroix, monarch of Vorsia Companion and leader of One Nation, whose security was partly her responsibility. Their encounter took an unexpected turn when the monarch sensed a connection to the Force within Alani. Alani would later be summoned before her in the Templar's chapel. Here they discussed the Force, with the Coruscanti recounting her incident in the cargo hold. Lilith offered to asses Alani's Force sensitivity, and explained the potential dangers on an untrained Force user. Alani agreed, and this encounter marked the beginning of her journey towards harnessing the Force.

=== A Darker Side ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 23, Day 297.</em></small></div>

Alani never really was religious, so to say. She believed in results, in physical objects, things she could see or sense. This did change a bit with the incident at the end of Year 22. One spot she was found regularly though was the temple area of Illumine Palace in Moroa. A place with a peculiarly serene aura, despite the many visitors, despite the fact that at that day the Guard’s alert was heightened because of a visit of some Red Lotus emissaries. One of the pros of the Palace was the fact that no one really disturbed you unnecessarily. After all, what if you were praying?

Ever since she found out she had the Force on her side, she would spend a portion of her free time attuning to it. Nothing serious: most of the time it would be meditation of sorts, nothing flashy. She was compelled to learn more from it, for she felt something was missing. So far, it had led her to a number of pieces of a sword of light scattered around the system, a tool similar to what her Lordship would wield. Incidentally, during her meditation or sleep, she would see light flickers, as if passed through an orange-hued crystal. Sometimes, a jolt of electricity would tingle from her fingertips, an unpleasant feeling, perhaps a way of the Force to say ‘enough!’?

On Year 23, somewhere around Day 297, that same invisible energy made Alani’s eyes jolt wide open as she was standing in the Palace’s halls. As if someone gut-punched her out of the blue, she dropped her datapad and heaved for air. Picking up the computer, she locked herself in a nearby bathroom until the nauseating, unpleasant feeling went away. Minutes passed, the sickly feeling still present. Flashes of that same orange she used to see during her meditation appeared before her closed eyes. Something was wrong, very wrong. Her ring-necklace felt abnormally warm to the touch. The feeling ended with an image of a familiar Hapan woman. As a tear rolled down the Coruscanti’s cheek, a feeling of despair, death, and depression overwhelmed her, followed by sadness as she washed her face with cold water.

This moment marked a change in Alani’s alignment, with Nari’s demise having reached her through the strings of the Force. Perhaps not an entirely rational one, but a change it was.

== Back to her roots ==

=== Never Far from Home ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 240.</em></small></div>

Now comfortable for a while as a Captain in the Moroa Guards, she had some time to reminisce about her past on Coruscant. In particular about the promise she made to her father. One day she would return, when she deemed she had gotten enough ‘galactic’ experience. The recent One Nation move towards the Confederacy might have accelerated her decision-making – perhaps unfounded – yet she refrained from jumping ship abruptly. Just after an important delegation mission on Moroa, Alani started taking the necessary preparations for her departure.

She knew she was about to forego a considerable amount of freedom, on several fronts, but it was for the best. After informing the Crown and attending a last ceremony, she made her way to her Sprint-class to head back to orbit. Flying at a steady high orbit off of Morobe was a considerable fleet of both One Nation, Confederate, as well as her own ships. The Sprint was heading towards the nearby Corona-class frigate to offload some cargo and to gather Alani’s belongings. The crew of both the frigate and the star cruiser would have to be put on minimum for quite some time; at least enough to defend themselves and to keep everything alive. It would not be the wisest of choices to arrive in Prakith with a small armada, lest the next thing she would own would be an artificial asteroid field. Ready for takeoff, she said her last goodbyes and initiated hyper travel. The Academy was not far away, just shy of two days, the perfect time prepare herself.

“Captain’s Log, well… I guess it is not ‘Captain’ anymore. Personal Log it is.”

=== Academic Refresh ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 243—248.</em></small></div>

Ever vigilant, the forces of the Galactic Empire halted Alani’s travels towards the planet of Prakith. The defensive space stations surrounding one of the bastions of galactic stability ordered her to stay put, so she did. Alani introduced herself and provided the necessary proof that she was to attend to the Academy’s business as soon as she arrived. Satisfied with her reasoning, and deeming the Sprint-class as not being a threat, Command let her pass to the planet’s orbit, where a shuttle would be waiting for her.

The Academy planet was as it was stated in the brochure. The heart of the Galactic Empire’s educational system, its grounds ever beautiful in the morning sunrise. With its Gothic and white-marbled look, it emanated excellence of a high degree, and its busy surroundings revealed a steady stream of humans and aliens alike. The Empire attracted people of all classes, quite in contrast to what other sources would make you believe.

She was escorted off of the Academy shuttle, and brought to the entrance. Here, she was left to her own, though she did get directions to her supposed training officer. Once inside the training officer’s office, she was surprised to see their face. For one, it was a Rodian, not someone you would expect to lead recruits to their graduation. And two, it was a Rodian she had seen before on Moroa during a ██████████ visit, together with the head of ██████████ and the ██████████. After making a rather awkward introduction, she was sent to her bunk with the necessary things she would need to prepare for the upcoming tests.

A number of days passed, and a lot of reading and tests later, and she stood again in front of the training officer’s office. With her she had a waiver for the second more practical half of the course and she was in high spirits after seeing her score so far. Her feeling was right, as the training officer had an honors ribbon to present to her.

Alani Myrtel: 27

{{Template:Responsive Character Page
| character-infobox-width = 375px
| intro =
[[Alani Myrtel]] is a 27 year old female from [[Coruscanti]] descent. She left the Coruscant sector in Year 22 looking for work and to expand her knowledge and experience about the space beyond. She used to work as a captain for the neutral nation of [[One Nation Under Jou]], in the [[Morobe (System)|Morobe]] system. Now she finds herself back home, serving the Empire as a member of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps.

__TOC__

=Description=

Alani is a relatively short Coruscanti woman, standing at 5' 6" tall (167cm). Off-duty, she can often be found wearing casual clothes, such as cargo jeans, tank tops, and loose shirts. However, in public she presents herself more professionally, in a dress, suit or uniform. Her natural hair color is brown, but much to her father's chagrin, she was known to dye her hair all sorts of colors in her youth. Her complexion can be described as 'pale but not too pale', and her natural eye color is blue.

Due to her upbringing in the planetwide ecumenopolis, Alani never extensively interacted with non-humans. Living on the upper layers of Coruscant, and growing up under the Imperial influence of her father left her to develop a natural wariness for aliens. Once she departed from the city-planet in Year 22, she had no choice but to cooperate with other races. As such, she started to tolerate them, and finally started to accept them for their usefulness in their own fields of works. By then, she used to say <em>"Sometimes, you need to accept that a Class C may possess the ideal skillset that is needed for the job."</em> Her preferable work partner was still a human one, though, and she was never able to shake off the unease when looking at aliens such as the Baragwin or Hutt. This initial shift of her views let her to view the galaxy, and most notably the Empire's enemies like the Jedi Order, in a more passive manner, realizing that the Imperial propaganda was just that: propaganda. However, this passiveness reverted back to the largely Imperialistic view when Alani's ex-girlfriend Nari Noble died in Year 23.

Generally, you can view Alani as someone who values order and justice, with a generous natural curiosity.

<h1 style="margin-top: 0em">Biography</h1>

<h2 style="margin-top: .25em">Upbringing</h2>

===A New Soul===

Only two weeks after the Imperial Declaration of War against the Rebel Alliance, on Year 0 Day 14, Alani was born in a Coruscanti hospital to Amy and James Myrtel. Despite the expertise of the Imperial medics, Alani's mother had a complication during childbirth resulting in a pelvis fracture. The medics were initially forced to perform a C-section, but the stubborn mother denied. With a stroke of luck, Alani was birthed healthily. Amy, however, was left with lingering stability and walking issues for the rest of her life.

===The Years Ahead===

Alani and her family had the luxury of being decently-off, living in a family apartment on one of Coruscant's upper layers. Free from most petty crime of the lowest layers, the girl was able to enjoy the comforts of a well-educated childhood. In the following years, she followed a minor management course, with her free time being spent taking care of her mother. Over the course of those years her caring duties slowly began to fall on droids. Alani was more interested in going out enjoying the nightly life of the mega-capital when she reached adulthood. It was at this time that she learned she was attracted to both genders. Unable to stay attached to to a person for too long, she decided to not commit to a relationship until she had found the one.

===The Father that Looked===

James, Alani's father, was an honest believer of the Imperial morals. Being an ex-trooper, he had his fair share of combat experience. At the time of Alani's childhood, he was employed by a private security corps outside the system. Due to this, he was away from home more than he was not. When his job did allow him to take a few days off, James spent his time at home, enjoying the company of his family. It did not take long for Alani to get interested in James's job. Whenever he sat down and talked about his duties, she sat there next to him, glittering, listening carefully. Alani developed an interest in the security work as the Imperial doctrine started growing inside.

===Sprouting Views===

The girl formed her views from both her father and mother: her father's Imperial upbringing and her mother's soft and kind approach. Both traits made for a mix that was Alani's. While living on Coruscant, she did not interact with many non-humans, most of the places she went to were populated mostly by humans. This non-interaction, along with the general segregation that many may think of when thinking about an Imperial society, made her naturally wary of those not like her. While not wholly denying to do business with non-humans, she would think twice when dealing with those who bore little resemblance to the people she grew up with.

==New Experiences==

===Departure from Coruscant===

One could say that the logical route after having been trained in basic blaster combat, would be to enlist and join the Imperial Army. Much to Alani's father's disappointment, Alani chose not to follow this path, deeming herself not yet fully ready to commit to the Empire. She felt that is would be better to first travel the galaxy, to get some real life experience beyond the Empire's influence. The Empire would surely still be at the back of her mind, and her father would make sure to remind Alani not to aid the enemy. It took quite some time to convince James, but he finally saw the advantages in her decision. After all, as Alani would put it, <em>"The more experience I gain, the better chance I'll have at enlisting in the Army."</em>

After having said her goodbyes, Alani would leave the Coruscant Sector in Year 22. She would move from system to system, looking for any decent leads towards a well-paying job. Eventually she found a advertisement of Lone Star Industries, originating from the Venaari System, but was unfortunately quickly disappointed after some research, ultimately not pursuing the ad after certain allegations came to light about the staff of Lone Star. Apparently the company registrars had ties to the then-defunct Exelis Runners—which in turn was a cell of the Exelis Crime Syndicate—and criminal Xyre Weltmon.

=== Glacial Distress ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: [[Year 22]] Day 80-90.</em></small></div>

Moving on, she stumbled upon a promising ad, leading her to the Avindia system. Once closing in on Polus's orbit, the situation took a turn for the worse: Bandits had attacked a YG-4210 freighter, which was forced to send out an emergency message and land on Polus. After an indecisive moment, Alani diverted her course to the current origin of the distress signal. At the location of the signal, plumed of smoke billowed from the beleaguered vessel. A firefight ensued between the bandits and Alani's crew.

Unbeknownst to Alani, a Defender-class designated <em>Crusader</em> had also picked up on the distress signal. The arrival of the <em>Crusader</em> had marked a turning point in the battle. A calculated touchdown between the bandits and the attacked vessel positioned the Defender-class as a protective shield, shielding the vulnerable spaceship from further harm. Swift and precise deployment of ground assault squads, equipped with heavy weapons and jetpacks, caught the bandits off-guard.

The engagement unfolded rapidly, with the jetpack squads descending upon the bandits and providing the needed firepower. Meanwhile, the long-range squad provided suppressing fire, ensuring that the bandits had little to no room to maneuver. The well-coordinated efforts of the Crusader's forces prevailed, quelling the threat posed by the bandits. The crew of the Crusader served under One Nation Under Jou, who were on a mission in the system. This event unexpectedly forged an alliance, with Alani eventually diverting towards the Morobe system to enlist in the neutral nation's forces. Passing the hundredth day of Year 22, Alani found herself employed as an officer cadet.

=== Revelations ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 22, Day 295.</em></small></div>

Alani, at the time a Second Lieutenant within One Nation Under Jou, was stationed aboard the Defender-class Light Corvette <em>Templar</em> during a flight from Morobe to Nimban. As the vessel approached its rendezvous, the 2LT's thoughts dwelled on a peculiar event from the previous day. The Templar suffered from some unusual hyperspace turbulence, resulting in a wrongly-fastened crate falling on top of her. With no space to duck away, Alani instinctively raised her hands in an attempt to 'cushion' the impact. To her astonishment—when she opened her eyes—the crate had not impacted her. It remained in the air, defying the artificial gravity in the cargo hold. This inexplicable incident left her with lingering question, so much that she decided not yet to report the incident. A glitch in the artificial gravity systems, as local as that, would be nigh impossible.

As the <em>Templar</em> approached Nimban, Alani prepared herself and her squad for the arrival of Lilith Delcroix, monarch of Vorsia Companion and leader of One Nation, whose security was partly her responsibility. Their encounter took an unexpected turn when the monarch sensed a connection to the Force within Alani. Alani would later be summoned before her in the Templar's chapel. Here they discussed the Force, with the Coruscanti recounting her incident in the cargo hold. Lilith offered to asses Alani's Force sensitivity, and explained the potential dangers on an untrained Force user. Alani agreed, and this encounter marked the beginning of her journey towards harnessing the Force.

=== A Darker Side ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 23, Day 297.</em></small></div>

Alani never really was religious, so to say. She believed in results, in physical objects, things she could see or sense. This did change a bit with the incident at the end of Year 22. One spot she was found regularly though was the temple area of Illumine Palace in Moroa. A place with a peculiarly serene aura, despite the many visitors, despite the fact that at that day the Guard’s alert was heightened because of a visit of some Red Lotus emissaries. One of the pros of the Palace was the fact that no one really disturbed you unnecessarily. After all, what if you were praying?

Ever since she found out she had the Force on her side, she would spend a portion of her free time attuning to it. Nothing serious: most of the time it would be meditation of sorts, nothing flashy. She was compelled to learn more from it, for she felt something was missing. So far, it had led her to a number of pieces of a sword of light scattered around the system, a tool similar to what her Lordship would wield. Incidentally, during her meditation or sleep, she would see light flickers, as if passed through an orange-hued crystal. Sometimes, a jolt of electricity would tingle from her fingertips, an unpleasant feeling, perhaps a way of the Force to say ‘enough!’?

On Year 23, somewhere around Day 297, that same invisible energy made Alani’s eyes jolt wide open as she was standing in the Palace’s halls. As if someone gut-punched her out of the blue, she dropped her datapad and heaved for air. Picking up the computer, she locked herself in a nearby bathroom until the nauseating, unpleasant feeling went away. Minutes passed, the sickly feeling still present. Flashes of that same orange she used to see during her meditation appeared before her closed eyes. Something was wrong, very wrong. Her ring-necklace felt abnormally warm to the touch. The feeling ended with an image of a familiar Hapan woman. As a tear rolled down the Coruscanti’s cheek, a feeling of despair, death, and depression overwhelmed her, followed by sadness as she washed her face with cold water.

This moment marked a change in Alani’s alignment, with Nari’s demise having reached her through the strings of the Force. Perhaps not an entirely rational one, but a change it was.

== Back to her roots ==

=== Never Far from Home ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 240.</em></small></div>

Now comfortable for a while as a Captain in the Moroa Guards, she had some time to reminisce about her past on Coruscant. In particular about the promise she made to her father. One day she would return, when she deemed she had gotten enough ‘galactic’ experience. The recent One Nation move towards the Confederacy might have accelerated her decision-making – perhaps unfounded – yet she refrained from jumping ship abruptly. Just after an important delegation mission on Moroa, Alani started taking the necessary preparations for her departure.

She knew she was about to forego a considerable amount of freedom, on several fronts, but it was for the best. After informing the Crown and attending a last ceremony, she made her way to her Sprint-class to head back to orbit. Flying at a steady high orbit off of Morobe was a considerable fleet of both One Nation, Confederate, as well as her own ships. The Sprint was heading towards the nearby Corona-class frigate to offload some cargo and to gather Alani’s belongings. The crew of both the frigate and the star cruiser would have to be put on minimum for quite some time; at least enough to defend themselves and to keep everything alive. It would not be the wisest of choices to arrive in Prakith with a small armada, lest the next thing she would own would be an artificial asteroid field. Ready for takeoff, she said her last goodbyes and initiated hyper travel. The Academy was not far away, just shy of two days, the perfect time prepare herself.

“Captain’s Log, well… I guess it is not ‘Captain’ anymore. Personal Log it is.”

=== Academic Refresh ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 243—248.</em></small></div>

Ever vigilant, the forces of the Galactic Empire halted Alani’s travels towards the planet of Prakith. The defensive space stations surrounding one of the bastions of galactic stability ordered her to stay put, so she did. Alani introduced herself and provided the necessary proof that she was to attend to the Academy’s business as soon as she arrived. Satisfied with her reasoning, and deeming the Sprint-class as not being a threat, Command let her pass to the planet’s orbit, where a shuttle would be waiting for her.

The Academy planet was as it was stated in the brochure. The heart of the Galactic Empire’s educational system, its grounds ever beautiful in the morning sunrise. With its Gothic and white-marbled look, it emanated excellence of a high degree, and its busy surroundings revealed a steady stream of humans and aliens alike. The Empire attracted people of all classes, quite in contrast to what other sources would make you believe.

She was escorted off of the Academy shuttle, and brought to the entrance. Here, she was left to her own, though she did get directions to her supposed training officer. Once inside the training officer’s office, she was surprised to see their face. For one, it was a Rodian, not someone you would expect to lead recruits to their graduation. And two, it was a Rodian she had seen before on Moroa during a ██████████ visit, together with the head of ██████████ and the ██████████. After making a rather awkward introduction, she was sent to her bunk with the necessary things she would need to prepare for the upcoming tests.

A number of days passed, and a lot of reading and tests later, and she stood again in front of the training officer’s office. With her she had a waiver for the second more practical half of the course and she was in high spirits after seeing her score so far. Her feeling was right, as the training officer had an honors ribbon to present to her.

Year 26

2025-10-30T10:40:10Z

Alani Myrtel:

<noinclude>''This is a chronological list of noteworthy events that occurred in '''Year 26'''. For an overview of all such events, see [[Timeline]].<br />For the summary of events preceding the [[Galactic Civil War]], see [[History of the Galaxy]].''</noinclude>

*Day 157: In a formal declaration from the highest levels of [[Black Sun]] government, Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight]] has announced his abdication, bringing to a close the longest and most consequential reign in Black Sun history. His chosen successor, Vigo [[Thrall Lothbrok]], has been named the twenty-second leader of [[Black Sun]] and now assumes full command.
*Day 187: The [[Chiss Ascendancy]] was formally ratified as a member of the Imperial Union.
*Day 188: The BSS Chosen drew out and engaged rebel forces in the [[Serroco (System)]]. The Chosen is a Q-Ship, being a heavily modified [[Mammoth-class Heavy Hauler]] refitted for combat duty.
*Day 191: The TMS Blue Knight was disabled by Rebel forces in the [[Serroco (System)]] this day and ultimately destroyed by a volley of fire from b-wing and y-wing craft. It was a [[Colossal-class Heavy Carrier]] and the largest ship lost in Serroco in recent memory. The pilot of the Blue Knight managed to eject her cargo before her destruction giving a chance to IU forces in the area who were trying to resupply. Various other bombers, gunships, fighters, and corvettes also died in the battle on both sides.
*Day 215: [[Orion Chran]], the leader of [[Rebel Alliance (Year 21) | Rebel Alliance]] was replaced today by [[Jonas Kanuteau]].
*Day 261: [[Thragg Craghorn]], the leader of [[Jedi Order]] was replaced today by [[Rivain Dumat]].
*Day 310: [[Tholme So]] of [[Alpha Medical Corporation]] announces Galactic Shockball League Emerges from Dormancy, Announces Beta Launch.
*Day 322: [[Robert Derr]], the leader of Incom Corporation was replaced today by [[Pietro Leopoldino]].
*Day 322: [[Wynk Waawat]], the leader of [[The Legacy of Ithor]] was replaced today by [[Wrrath Khuykiaal]].
*Day 329: The BSS Chosen once more engaged rebel forces in the [[Serroco (System)]]. She sustained heavy shield damage in the battle but managed to escape as additional Black Sun and Galactic Empire forces arrived to save her from Rebel Forces. Of note was that Black Sun deployed Tie Interceptors for the first time rather than their signature Vipers showing the strength of relations between Black Sun and the Galactic Empire.
*Day 334: The Galactic Empire deployed the Executor-class Star Destroyer Kraken to the [[Serroco (System)]]. Deployed as the command ship of a combined Imperial Union fleet with frigate and corvette escorts she oversaw the battles of the day. Rebels forces attacked in force with a surprise move using bombers and corvettes only. The BSS King, a Kaloth-class Battlecruiser was caught unaware and destroyed from the line in a first strike. BSS Dungeoness, the BSS King's sister ship, quickly followed her brother into star dust. After this the escorts frigates and corvettes entered hyperspace to thwart rebel bombers.
*Day 338: [[Rivain Dumat]], the leader of Jedi Order was replaced today by [[SyberJedi]].

Emperor

Alani Myrtel: /* Known Emperors */ vodo is twice

{{featured}}

''This page is about the ruler of the Galactic Empire. For other uses of the title, see [[Emperor (disambiguation)]].''
[[Image:Imperial Logo Small.png|right|link=Galactic Empire]]
The '''Emperor''' (also known as the '''Emperor of the Galaxy''', '''Emperor of the Known Universe''', or '''Galactic Emperor'''), is the Head of State of the [[Galactic Empire]]. The Emperor has absolute authority within his dominion and its subject states. Of the eleven individuals to hold the title, all but one began their career in the [[Imperial Navy]], although a number had long since moved into other branches of the Galactic Empire. Due to the continued primacy of the Empire as a military superpower in the [[Core Worlds]], the emperor is frequently described as the most powerful sovereign in [[the galaxy]].

There exists some scholarly disagreement about the order of succession of the early sovereigns. Several variants of Imperial history record Vodo Bonias as the second emperor, governing between [[Drayson]] and [[Suntzu]]. However, a number of earlier sources such as the Annals of the Emperors,<ref name="Annals">[http://web.archive.org/web/20010730085044/http://www.swcempire.com/history.shtml Annals of the Emperors - Imperial News Grid] (Archived)</ref> the O'Dwyer Manuscript,<ref name="O'Dwyer Manuscript">[http://web.archive.org/web/20000607173643/http://members.tripod.com/Steve_ODwyer/history.html The O'Dwyer Manuscript: A Datalog of Imperial History]</ref> and the archives of the [[Imperial Core|Imperial Core War Library]]<ref>[http://imperial-history.swcombine.de/docs/DE-ImperialHistory.html Imperial Core War Library / Dark Empire Imperial History]</ref> record him as the third.

The present incumbent is [[Jai Meridan]].

==Separatist Movements==

|}
{{Main|Order of Darkness|First Imperial Civil War}}
The earliest known separatist movement was the quasi-legendary "[[Order of Darkness]]" led by the enigmatic [[Hiram Drayson]], a former emperor opposing his successors such as [[Suntzu]], [[Vodo Bonias]], and [[Spytek]] during a chaotic historical period known as "the Dark Years." Although Drayson himself had been overthrown by Bonias, the perceived failings of his various successors enabled him to form an effective opposition group circa [[Year -2]]. High-profile defections included General [[Balseraph|Diablirus Balseraph]] and Admiral [[Dyvel Price]], however, Drayson's Order of Darkness later faded into obscurity after the presumed death of its founder and patron. Despite its rapid decline, the Order of Darkness became an inspiration for many future separatist movements.

* Emperor [[Hiram Drayson]]
* General [[Gorn Veynom|Veynom]]
* Admiral [[Dyvel Price]]

|-

|}
{{Main|Imperial Core|Dark Empire|Second Imperial Civil War}}
After the golden age of Emperor [[Piett]]'s lauded reign, a schism occurred in the Empire between the supporters of Emperor [[Trey Connel]] and Grand Admiral [[Gorn Veynom]], former rivals to the throne prior to Piett's surprise ascendance. On [[Year 1|Year 1 Day 305]], Veynom departed for the [[Unknown Regions]], but his supporters still refused to serve Connel. Dubbing themselves "the [[Imperial Core]]" and taking much Imperial equipment with them, the separatists formed their own government in the farthest reaches of civilized space and proclaimed the absentee Veynom as their titular sovereign. However, [[Veynom]] never returned to lead the Core and the organization later united with the [[Sith|Sith Order]] to form "the [[Dark Empire]]." A former emperor, [[Vodo Bonias]], became the ruler of the Dark Empire. After a year, this latter organization was forcibly unified with Emperor [[Charon]]'s Galactic Empire, albeit with much distrust on both sides. The conflict did not end with the reunification and would eventually culminate in the overthrowing of Charon and the ascension of [[Greyson Uebles|Uebles]]. This in turn planted the seeds for the [[New Imperial Order]].

* Dark Emperor [[Gorn Veynom]] ([[Year 1|Year 1 Day 214]] — [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 94]]) ''(Titular)''
** Lord Protector [[Simms|Adric Titus Simms]] ([[Year 1|Year 1 Day 214]] — [[Year 2|Year 2 Day 329]]) ''(De facto)''
** Lady Protector [[Jennifer Dreighton]] ([[Year 2|Year 2 Day 329]] — [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 94]]) ''(De facto)''
* Dark Emperor [[Vodo Bonias]] ([[Year 3|Year 3 Day 94]] — [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 290]])

===The Imperial Reformation===

|-
| width="100%" colspan="2" | [[Garen Karrade]]</i>
|}
{{Main|New Imperial Order|Third Imperial Civil War}}
During the protracted second reign of Emperor [[Vodo Bonias]], a large number of high-ranking officers and enlisted personnel became displeased with the heavy-handed managerial style of Grand Moff [[Daelin Zerk]], Vodo's hand-picked Chief of Staff who was allegedly prone to micro-managing his subordinates. Gradually, a split occurred between Zerk's allegiants and a loose coalition comprised largely of enlisted personnel as well as former [[Charonist]]s who still resented Vodo for his role in the deposal of their earlier sovereign. Dubbing themselves "Imperial reformers," the separatists left the Empire circa [[Year 6]] and formed "the [[New Imperial Order]]", although they refused to appoint an emperor. Some speculate this was because they hoped Charon would return and claim the title himself, but a more plausible explanation is that reunification with the Empire was always one of their goals, albeit on their own terms. After a negotiated reconciliation several years later, many of the organization's veterans rejoined their beloved Empire and even served as its rulers.

* Lord Steward [[Garen Karrade]] ([[Year 6|Year 6 Day 318]] — [[Year 7|Year 7 Day 52]])
* Executor [[Thomas Cherokee]] ([[Year 7|Year 7 Day 52]] — [[Year 10|Year 10 Day 160]])

==Tabulation==
Below is a tabulation of the emperors as well as their archival portraits, associated eras, and opposition groups. Charon is considered by some Imperial historians to be part of a dynastic triumvirate which began with Emperor [[Trey Connel]] and included Charon's predecessor, [[Mccarthur]]. This triumvirate dominated galactic politics for three years — from Year 1 Day 212 to Year 4 Day 133 — and was externally opposed by separatist warlords such as Grand Admiral [[Gorn Veynom]], Dark Jedi Master [[Vodo Bonias]], and Count [[Greyson Uebles]]. The ascension of [[Thomas Cherokee]] as emperor circa [[Year 11]] inaugurated a subsequent era of sovereigns formerly affiliated with the [[New Imperial Order]].

Alani Myrtel: ILA

{{Template:Responsive Character Page
| character-infobox-width = 375px
| intro =
[[Alani Myrtel]] is a 26 year old female from [[Coruscanti]] descent. She left the Coruscant sector in Year 22 looking for work and to expand her knowledge and experience about the space beyond. She used to work as a captain for the neutral nation of [[One Nation Under Jou]], in the [[Morobe (System)|Morobe]] system. Now she finds herself back home, serving the Empire as a member of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps.

__TOC__

=Description=

Alani is a relatively short Coruscanti woman, standing at 5' 6" tall (167cm). Off-duty, she can often be found wearing casual clothes, such as cargo jeans, tank tops, and loose shirts. However, in public she presents herself more professionally, in a dress, suit or uniform. Her natural hair color is brown, but much to her father's chagrin, she was known to dye her hair all sorts of colors in her youth. Her complexion can be described as 'pale but not too pale', and her natural eye color is blue.

Due to her upbringing in the planetwide ecumenopolis, Alani never extensively interacted with non-humans. Living on the upper layers of Coruscant, and growing up under the Imperial influence of her father left her to develop a natural wariness for aliens. Once she departed from the city-planet in Year 22, she had no choice but to cooperate with other races. As such, she started to tolerate them, and finally started to accept them for their usefulness in their own fields of works. By then, she used to say <em>"Sometimes, you need to accept that a Class C may possess the ideal skillset that is needed for the job."</em> Her preferable work partner was still a human one, though, and she was never able to shake off the unease when looking at aliens such as the Baragwin or Hutt. This initial shift of her views let her to view the galaxy, and most notably the Empire's enemies like the Jedi Order, in a more passive manner, realizing that the Imperial propaganda was just that: propaganda. However, this passiveness reverted back to the largely Imperialistic view when Alani's ex-girlfriend Nari Noble died in Year 23.

Generally, you can view Alani as someone who values order and justice, with a generous natural curiosity.

<h1 style="margin-top: 0em">Biography</h1>

<h2 style="margin-top: .25em">Upbringing</h2>

===A New Soul===

Only two weeks after the Imperial Declaration of War against the Rebel Alliance, on Year 0 Day 14, Alani was born in a Coruscanti hospital to Amy and James Myrtel. Despite the expertise of the Imperial medics, Alani's mother had a complication during childbirth resulting in a pelvis fracture. The medics were initially forced to perform a C-section, but the stubborn mother denied. With a stroke of luck, Alani was birthed healthily. Amy, however, was left with lingering stability and walking issues for the rest of her life.

===The Years Ahead===

Alani and her family had the luxury of being decently-off, living in a family apartment on one of Coruscant's upper layers. Free from most petty crime of the lowest layers, the girl was able to enjoy the comforts of a well-educated childhood. In the following years, she followed a minor management course, with her free time being spent taking care of her mother. Over the course of those years her caring duties slowly began to fall on droids. Alani was more interested in going out enjoying the nightly life of the mega-capital when she reached adulthood. It was at this time that she learned she was attracted to both genders. Unable to stay attached to to a person for too long, she decided to not commit to a relationship until she had found the one.

===The Father that Looked===

James, Alani's father, was an honest believer of the Imperial morals. Being an ex-trooper, he had his fair share of combat experience. At the time of Alani's childhood, he was employed by a private security corps outside the system. Due to this, he was away from home more than he was not. When his job did allow him to take a few days off, James spent his time at home, enjoying the company of his family. It did not take long for Alani to get interested in James's job. Whenever he sat down and talked about his duties, she sat there next to him, glittering, listening carefully. Alani developed an interest in the security work as the Imperial doctrine started growing inside.

===Sprouting Views===

The girl formed her views from both her father and mother: her father's Imperial upbringing and her mother's soft and kind approach. Both traits made for a mix that was Alani's. While living on Coruscant, she did not interact with many non-humans, most of the places she went to were populated mostly by humans. This non-interaction, along with the general segregation that many may think of when thinking about an Imperial society, made her naturally wary of those not like her. While not wholly denying to do business with non-humans, she would think twice when dealing with those who bore little resemblance to the people she grew up with.

==New Experiences==

===Departure from Coruscant===

One could say that the logical route after having been trained in basic blaster combat, would be to enlist and join the Imperial Army. Much to Alani's father's disappointment, Alani chose not to follow this path, deeming herself not yet fully ready to commit to the Empire. She felt that is would be better to first travel the galaxy, to get some real life experience beyond the Empire's influence. The Empire would surely still be at the back of her mind, and her father would make sure to remind Alani not to aid the enemy. It took quite some time to convince James, but he finally saw the advantages in her decision. After all, as Alani would put it, <em>"The more experience I gain, the better chance I'll have at enlisting in the Army."</em>

After having said her goodbyes, Alani would leave the Coruscant Sector in Year 22. She would move from system to system, looking for any decent leads towards a well-paying job. Eventually she found a advertisement of Lone Star Industries, originating from the Venaari System, but was unfortunately quickly disappointed after some research, ultimately not pursuing the ad after certain allegations came to light about the staff of Lone Star. Apparently the company registrars had ties to the then-defunct Exelis Runners—which in turn was a cell of the Exelis Crime Syndicate—and criminal Xyre Weltmon.

=== Glacial Distress ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: [[Year 22]] Day 80-90.</em></small></div>

Moving on, she stumbled upon a promising ad, leading her to the Avindia system. Once closing in on Polus's orbit, the situation took a turn for the worse: Bandits had attacked a YG-4210 freighter, which was forced to send out an emergency message and land on Polus. After an indecisive moment, Alani diverted her course to the current origin of the distress signal. At the location of the signal, plumed of smoke billowed from the beleaguered vessel. A firefight ensued between the bandits and Alani's crew.

Unbeknownst to Alani, a Defender-class designated <em>Crusader</em> had also picked up on the distress signal. The arrival of the <em>Crusader</em> had marked a turning point in the battle. A calculated touchdown between the bandits and the attacked vessel positioned the Defender-class as a protective shield, shielding the vulnerable spaceship from further harm. Swift and precise deployment of ground assault squads, equipped with heavy weapons and jetpacks, caught the bandits off-guard.

The engagement unfolded rapidly, with the jetpack squads descending upon the bandits and providing the needed firepower. Meanwhile, the long-range squad provided suppressing fire, ensuring that the bandits had little to no room to maneuver. The well-coordinated efforts of the Crusader's forces prevailed, quelling the threat posed by the bandits. The crew of the Crusader served under One Nation Under Jou, who were on a mission in the system. This event unexpectedly forged an alliance, with Alani eventually diverting towards the Morobe system to enlist in the neutral nation's forces. Passing the hundredth day of Year 22, Alani found herself employed as an officer cadet.

=== Revelations ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 22, Day 295.</em></small></div>

Alani, at the time a Second Lieutenant within One Nation Under Jou, was stationed aboard the Defender-class Light Corvette <em>Templar</em> during a flight from Morobe to Nimban. As the vessel approached its rendezvous, the 2LT's thoughts dwelled on a peculiar event from the previous day. The Templar suffered from some unusual hyperspace turbulence, resulting in a wrongly-fastened crate falling on top of her. With no space to duck away, Alani instinctively raised her hands in an attempt to 'cushion' the impact. To her astonishment—when she opened her eyes—the crate had not impacted her. It remained in the air, defying the artificial gravity in the cargo hold. This inexplicable incident left her with lingering question, so much that she decided not yet to report the incident. A glitch in the artificial gravity systems, as local as that, would be nigh impossible.

As the <em>Templar</em> approached Nimban, Alani prepared herself and her squad for the arrival of Lilith Delcroix, monarch of Vorsia Companion and leader of One Nation, whose security was partly her responsibility. Their encounter took an unexpected turn when the monarch sensed a connection to the Force within Alani. Alani would later be summoned before her in the Templar's chapel. Here they discussed the Force, with the Coruscanti recounting her incident in the cargo hold. Lilith offered to asses Alani's Force sensitivity, and explained the potential dangers on an untrained Force user. Alani agreed, and this encounter marked the beginning of her journey towards harnessing the Force.

=== A Darker Side ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 23, Day 297.</em></small></div>

Alani never really was religious, so to say. She believed in results, in physical objects, things she could see or sense. This did change a bit with the incident at the end of Year 22. One spot she was found regularly though was the temple area of Illumine Palace in Moroa. A place with a peculiarly serene aura, despite the many visitors, despite the fact that at that day the Guard’s alert was heightened because of a visit of some Red Lotus emissaries. One of the pros of the Palace was the fact that no one really disturbed you unnecessarily. After all, what if you were praying?

Ever since she found out she had the Force on her side, she would spend a portion of her free time attuning to it. Nothing serious: most of the time it would be meditation of sorts, nothing flashy. She was compelled to learn more from it, for she felt something was missing. So far, it had led her to a number of pieces of a sword of light scattered around the system, a tool similar to what her Lordship would wield. Incidentally, during her meditation or sleep, she would see light flickers, as if passed through an orange-hued crystal. Sometimes, a jolt of electricity would tingle from her fingertips, an unpleasant feeling, perhaps a way of the Force to say ‘enough!’?

On Year 23, somewhere around Day 297, that same invisible energy made Alani’s eyes jolt wide open as she was standing in the Palace’s halls. As if someone gut-punched her out of the blue, she dropped her datapad and heaved for air. Picking up the computer, she locked herself in a nearby bathroom until the nauseating, unpleasant feeling went away. Minutes passed, the sickly feeling still present. Flashes of that same orange she used to see during her meditation appeared before her closed eyes. Something was wrong, very wrong. Her ring-necklace felt abnormally warm to the touch. The feeling ended with an image of a familiar Hapan woman. As a tear rolled down the Coruscanti’s cheek, a feeling of despair, death, and depression overwhelmed her, followed by sadness as she washed her face with cold water.

This moment marked a change in Alani’s alignment, with Nari’s demise having reached her through the strings of the Force. Perhaps not an entirely rational one, but a change it was.

== Back to her roots ==

=== Never Far from Home ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 240.</em></small></div>

Now comfortable for a while as a Captain in the Moroa Guards, she had some time to reminisce about her past on Coruscant. In particular about the promise she made to her father. One day she would return, when she deemed she had gotten enough ‘galactic’ experience. The recent One Nation move towards the Confederacy might have accelerated her decision-making – perhaps unfounded – yet she refrained from jumping ship abruptly. Just after an important delegation mission on Moroa, Alani started taking the necessary preparations for her departure.

She knew she was about to forego a considerable amount of freedom, on several fronts, but it was for the best. After informing the Crown and attending a last ceremony, she made her way to her Sprint-class to head back to orbit. Flying at a steady high orbit off of Morobe was a considerable fleet of both One Nation, Confederate, as well as her own ships. The Sprint was heading towards the nearby Corona-class frigate to offload some cargo and to gather Alani’s belongings. The crew of both the frigate and the star cruiser would have to be put on minimum for quite some time; at least enough to defend themselves and to keep everything alive. It would not be the wisest of choices to arrive in Prakith with a small armada, lest the next thing she would own would be an artificial asteroid field. Ready for takeoff, she said her last goodbyes and initiated hyper travel. The Academy was not far away, just shy of two days, the perfect time prepare herself.

“Captain’s Log, well… I guess it is not ‘Captain’ anymore. Personal Log it is.”

=== Academic Refresh ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 243—248.</em></small></div>

Ever vigilant, the forces of the Galactic Empire halted Alani’s travels towards the planet of Prakith. The defensive space stations surrounding one of the bastions of galactic stability ordered her to stay put, so she did. Alani introduced herself and provided the necessary proof that she was to attend to the Academy’s business as soon as she arrived. Satisfied with her reasoning, and deeming the Sprint-class as not being a threat, Command let her pass to the planet’s orbit, where a shuttle would be waiting for her.

The Academy planet was as it was stated in the brochure. The heart of the Galactic Empire’s educational system, its grounds ever beautiful in the morning sunrise. With its Gothic and white-marbled look, it emanated excellence of a high degree, and its busy surroundings revealed a steady stream of humans and aliens alike. The Empire attracted people of all classes, quite in contrast to what other sources would make you believe.

She was escorted off of the Academy shuttle, and brought to the entrance. Here, she was left to her own, though she did get directions to her supposed training officer. Once inside the training officer’s office, she was surprised to see their face. For one, it was a Rodian, not someone you would expect to lead recruits to their graduation. And two, it was a Rodian she had seen before on Moroa during a ██████████ visit, together with the head of ██████████ and the ██████████. After making a rather awkward introduction, she was sent to her bunk with the necessary things she would need to prepare for the upcoming tests.

A number of days passed, and a lot of reading and tests later, and she stood again in front of the training officer’s office. With her she had a waiver for the second more practical half of the course and she was in high spirits after seeing her score so far. Her feeling was right, as the training officer had an honors ribbon to present to her.

Alani Myrtel: A-Infantry

{{Template:Responsive Character Page
| character-infobox-width = 375px
| intro =
[[Alani Myrtel]] is a 26 year old female from [[Coruscanti]] descent. She left the Coruscant sector in Year 22 looking for work and to expand her knowledge and experience about the space beyond. She used to work as a captain for the neutral nation of [[One Nation Under Jou]], in the [[Morobe (System)|Morobe]] system. Now she finds herself back home, serving the Empire as a member of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps.

__TOC__

=Description=

Alani is a relatively short Coruscanti woman, standing at 5' 6" tall (167cm). Off-duty, she can often be found wearing casual clothes, such as cargo jeans, tank tops, and loose shirts. However, in public she presents herself more professionally, in a dress, suit or uniform. Her natural hair color is brown, but much to her father's chagrin, she was known to dye her hair all sorts of colors in her youth. Her complexion can be described as 'pale but not too pale', and her natural eye color is blue.

Due to her upbringing in the planetwide ecumenopolis, Alani never extensively interacted with non-humans. Living on the upper layers of Coruscant, and growing up under the Imperial influence of her father left her to develop a natural wariness for aliens. Once she departed from the city-planet in Year 22, she had no choice but to cooperate with other races. As such, she started to tolerate them, and finally started to accept them for their usefulness in their own fields of works. By then, she used to say <em>"Sometimes, you need to accept that a Class C may possess the ideal skillset that is needed for the job."</em> Her preferable work partner was still a human one, though, and she was never able to shake off the unease when looking at aliens such as the Baragwin or Hutt. This initial shift of her views let her to view the galaxy, and most notably the Empire's enemies like the Jedi Order, in a more passive manner, realizing that the Imperial propaganda was just that: propaganda. However, this passiveness reverted back to the largely Imperialistic view when Alani's ex-girlfriend Nari Noble died in Year 23.

Generally, you can view Alani as someone who values order and justice, with a generous natural curiosity.

<h1 style="margin-top: 0em">Biography</h1>

<h2 style="margin-top: .25em">Upbringing</h2>

===A New Soul===

Only two weeks after the Imperial Declaration of War against the Rebel Alliance, on Year 0 Day 14, Alani was born in a Coruscanti hospital to Amy and James Myrtel. Despite the expertise of the Imperial medics, Alani's mother had a complication during childbirth resulting in a pelvis fracture. The medics were initially forced to perform a C-section, but the stubborn mother denied. With a stroke of luck, Alani was birthed healthily. Amy, however, was left with lingering stability and walking issues for the rest of her life.

===The Years Ahead===

Alani and her family had the luxury of being decently-off, living in a family apartment on one of Coruscant's upper layers. Free from most petty crime of the lowest layers, the girl was able to enjoy the comforts of a well-educated childhood. In the following years, she followed a minor management course, with her free time being spent taking care of her mother. Over the course of those years her caring duties slowly began to fall on droids. Alani was more interested in going out enjoying the nightly life of the mega-capital when she reached adulthood. It was at this time that she learned she was attracted to both genders. Unable to stay attached to to a person for too long, she decided to not commit to a relationship until she had found the one.

===The Father that Looked===

James, Alani's father, was an honest believer of the Imperial morals. Being an ex-trooper, he had his fair share of combat experience. At the time of Alani's childhood, he was employed by a private security corps outside the system. Due to this, he was away from home more than he was not. When his job did allow him to take a few days off, James spent his time at home, enjoying the company of his family. It did not take long for Alani to get interested in James's job. Whenever he sat down and talked about his duties, she sat there next to him, glittering, listening carefully. Alani developed an interest in the security work as the Imperial doctrine started growing inside.

===Sprouting Views===

The girl formed her views from both her father and mother: her father's Imperial upbringing and her mother's soft and kind approach. Both traits made for a mix that was Alani's. While living on Coruscant, she did not interact with many non-humans, most of the places she went to were populated mostly by humans. This non-interaction, along with the general segregation that many may think of when thinking about an Imperial society, made her naturally wary of those not like her. While not wholly denying to do business with non-humans, she would think twice when dealing with those who bore little resemblance to the people she grew up with.

==New Experiences==

===Departure from Coruscant===

One could say that the logical route after having been trained in basic blaster combat, would be to enlist and join the Imperial Army. Much to Alani's father's disappointment, Alani chose not to follow this path, deeming herself not yet fully ready to commit to the Empire. She felt that is would be better to first travel the galaxy, to get some real life experience beyond the Empire's influence. The Empire would surely still be at the back of her mind, and her father would make sure to remind Alani not to aid the enemy. It took quite some time to convince James, but he finally saw the advantages in her decision. After all, as Alani would put it, <em>"The more experience I gain, the better chance I'll have at enlisting in the Army."</em>

After having said her goodbyes, Alani would leave the Coruscant Sector in Year 22. She would move from system to system, looking for any decent leads towards a well-paying job. Eventually she found a advertisement of Lone Star Industries, originating from the Venaari System, but was unfortunately quickly disappointed after some research, ultimately not pursuing the ad after certain allegations came to light about the staff of Lone Star. Apparently the company registrars had ties to the then-defunct Exelis Runners—which in turn was a cell of the Exelis Crime Syndicate—and criminal Xyre Weltmon.

=== Glacial Distress ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: [[Year 22]] Day 80-90.</em></small></div>

Moving on, she stumbled upon a promising ad, leading her to the Avindia system. Once closing in on Polus's orbit, the situation took a turn for the worse: Bandits had attacked a YG-4210 freighter, which was forced to send out an emergency message and land on Polus. After an indecisive moment, Alani diverted her course to the current origin of the distress signal. At the location of the signal, plumed of smoke billowed from the beleaguered vessel. A firefight ensued between the bandits and Alani's crew.

Unbeknownst to Alani, a Defender-class designated <em>Crusader</em> had also picked up on the distress signal. The arrival of the <em>Crusader</em> had marked a turning point in the battle. A calculated touchdown between the bandits and the attacked vessel positioned the Defender-class as a protective shield, shielding the vulnerable spaceship from further harm. Swift and precise deployment of ground assault squads, equipped with heavy weapons and jetpacks, caught the bandits off-guard.

The engagement unfolded rapidly, with the jetpack squads descending upon the bandits and providing the needed firepower. Meanwhile, the long-range squad provided suppressing fire, ensuring that the bandits had little to no room to maneuver. The well-coordinated efforts of the Crusader's forces prevailed, quelling the threat posed by the bandits. The crew of the Crusader served under One Nation Under Jou, who were on a mission in the system. This event unexpectedly forged an alliance, with Alani eventually diverting towards the Morobe system to enlist in the neutral nation's forces. Passing the hundredth day of Year 22, Alani found herself employed as an officer cadet.

=== Revelations ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 22, Day 295.</em></small></div>

Alani, at the time a Second Lieutenant within One Nation Under Jou, was stationed aboard the Defender-class Light Corvette <em>Templar</em> during a flight from Morobe to Nimban. As the vessel approached its rendezvous, the 2LT's thoughts dwelled on a peculiar event from the previous day. The Templar suffered from some unusual hyperspace turbulence, resulting in a wrongly-fastened crate falling on top of her. With no space to duck away, Alani instinctively raised her hands in an attempt to 'cushion' the impact. To her astonishment—when she opened her eyes—the crate had not impacted her. It remained in the air, defying the artificial gravity in the cargo hold. This inexplicable incident left her with lingering question, so much that she decided not yet to report the incident. A glitch in the artificial gravity systems, as local as that, would be nigh impossible.

As the <em>Templar</em> approached Nimban, Alani prepared herself and her squad for the arrival of Lilith Delcroix, monarch of Vorsia Companion and leader of One Nation, whose security was partly her responsibility. Their encounter took an unexpected turn when the monarch sensed a connection to the Force within Alani. Alani would later be summoned before her in the Templar's chapel. Here they discussed the Force, with the Coruscanti recounting her incident in the cargo hold. Lilith offered to asses Alani's Force sensitivity, and explained the potential dangers on an untrained Force user. Alani agreed, and this encounter marked the beginning of her journey towards harnessing the Force.

=== A Darker Side ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 23, Day 297.</em></small></div>

Alani never really was religious, so to say. She believed in results, in physical objects, things she could see or sense. This did change a bit with the incident at the end of Year 22. One spot she was found regularly though was the temple area of Illumine Palace in Moroa. A place with a peculiarly serene aura, despite the many visitors, despite the fact that at that day the Guard’s alert was heightened because of a visit of some Red Lotus emissaries. One of the pros of the Palace was the fact that no one really disturbed you unnecessarily. After all, what if you were praying?

Ever since she found out she had the Force on her side, she would spend a portion of her free time attuning to it. Nothing serious: most of the time it would be meditation of sorts, nothing flashy. She was compelled to learn more from it, for she felt something was missing. So far, it had led her to a number of pieces of a sword of light scattered around the system, a tool similar to what her Lordship would wield. Incidentally, during her meditation or sleep, she would see light flickers, as if passed through an orange-hued crystal. Sometimes, a jolt of electricity would tingle from her fingertips, an unpleasant feeling, perhaps a way of the Force to say ‘enough!’?

On Year 23, somewhere around Day 297, that same invisible energy made Alani’s eyes jolt wide open as she was standing in the Palace’s halls. As if someone gut-punched her out of the blue, she dropped her datapad and heaved for air. Picking up the computer, she locked herself in a nearby bathroom until the nauseating, unpleasant feeling went away. Minutes passed, the sickly feeling still present. Flashes of that same orange she used to see during her meditation appeared before her closed eyes. Something was wrong, very wrong. Her ring-necklace felt abnormally warm to the touch. The feeling ended with an image of a familiar Hapan woman. As a tear rolled down the Coruscanti’s cheek, a feeling of despair, death, and depression overwhelmed her, followed by sadness as she washed her face with cold water.

This moment marked a change in Alani’s alignment, with Nari’s demise having reached her through the strings of the Force. Perhaps not an entirely rational one, but a change it was.

== Back to her roots ==

=== Never Far from Home ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 240.</em></small></div>

Now comfortable for a while as a Captain in the Moroa Guards, she had some time to reminisce about her past on Coruscant. In particular about the promise she made to her father. One day she would return, when she deemed she had gotten enough ‘galactic’ experience. The recent One Nation move towards the Confederacy might have accelerated her decision-making – perhaps unfounded – yet she refrained from jumping ship abruptly. Just after an important delegation mission on Moroa, Alani started taking the necessary preparations for her departure.

She knew she was about to forego a considerable amount of freedom, on several fronts, but it was for the best. After informing the Crown and attending a last ceremony, she made her way to her Sprint-class to head back to orbit. Flying at a steady high orbit off of Morobe was a considerable fleet of both One Nation, Confederate, as well as her own ships. The Sprint was heading towards the nearby Corona-class frigate to offload some cargo and to gather Alani’s belongings. The crew of both the frigate and the star cruiser would have to be put on minimum for quite some time; at least enough to defend themselves and to keep everything alive. It would not be the wisest of choices to arrive in Prakith with a small armada, lest the next thing she would own would be an artificial asteroid field. Ready for takeoff, she said her last goodbyes and initiated hyper travel. The Academy was not far away, just shy of two days, the perfect time prepare herself.

“Captain’s Log, well… I guess it is not ‘Captain’ anymore. Personal Log it is.”

=== Academic Refresh ===
<div style="margin-top:-0.4em;"><small><em>Approximate galactic date: Year 25, Day 243—248.</em></small></div>

Ever vigilant, the forces of the Galactic Empire halted Alani’s travels towards the planet of Prakith. The defensive space stations surrounding one of the bastions of galactic stability ordered her to stay put, so she did. Alani introduced herself and provided the necessary proof that she was to attend to the Academy’s business as soon as she arrived. Satisfied with her reasoning, and deeming the Sprint-class as not being a threat, Command let her pass to the planet’s orbit, where a shuttle would be waiting for her.

The Academy planet was as it was stated in the brochure. The heart of the Galactic Empire’s educational system, its grounds ever beautiful in the morning sunrise. With its Gothic and white-marbled look, it emanated excellence of a high degree, and its busy surroundings revealed a steady stream of humans and aliens alike. The Empire attracted people of all classes, quite in contrast to what other sources would make you believe.

She was escorted off of the Academy shuttle, and brought to the entrance. Here, she was left to her own, though she did get directions to her supposed training officer. Once inside the training officer’s office, she was surprised to see their face. For one, it was a Rodian, not someone you would expect to lead recruits to their graduation. And two, it was a Rodian she had seen before on Moroa during a ██████████ visit, together with the head of ██████████ and the ██████████. After making a rather awkward introduction, she was sent to her bunk with the necessary things she would need to prepare for the upcoming tests.

A number of days passed, and a lot of reading and tests later, and she stood again in front of the training officer’s office. With her she had a waiver for the second more practical half of the course and she was in high spirits after seeing her score so far. Her feeling was right, as the training officer had an honors ribbon to present to her.

Alani Myrtel: Galactic Empire, advanced infantry qualification badge, small version

User talk:Rick Bender

Alani Myrtel:

As a character, Rick Bender is a mixture of several influences.

He is modelled a bit after Rick from Rick and Morty, who himself was modelled after Doc from Back to the Future. He's also modelled a bit after Bender from Futurama, who himself was modelled after John Bender from The Breakfast Club. But perhaps most of all, he is modelled after Larry Kenobi from the Auralnauts' lampoons of the Star Wars prequels and the Kenobi series. Each of these influences is quite complimentary if you analyze them. Rick, Bender, and Larry have a lot in common.

Rickard (Game of Thrones reference) Laurentius (the Latin form of Lawrence, the source of Larry) Bender's aliases come from the original temporary name chosen by Darkness (Shane Cage, the name on his tutorial speeder) and two alternate handles: Steven Dirtfarmer (rejected by Ten) and Laurentius Yolo (accepted by Euna Miriel). Guapo is a redundant Larry reference (it means "handsome"), and RL are his first initials, hinting at a "real-life" bender but also a subtle nod towards the bluesman RL Burnside.

Ewan McGregor was selected as the avatar subject to further drive home the Larry Kenobi reference. Discord's avatar is taken from his role as Renton in Trainspotting, and the rest of the images are taken from Last Days in the Desert, where he portrays both Jesus and Satan.

Obviously, I have no idea what I'm supposed to be talking about here. Do you know?

== Featured Article September 2025 ==

Hi there!

I saw that you published your article as a Featured Article for September 2025. Nice! However, it kind of broke the Holocron's homepage. I did fix it, but you might want to change the text that [[Holocron:Featured Articles/2025/September]] is currently showing. I just took some of the beginning text of the [[Rick Bender]] article.

Next time, please take a look at previous Featured Articles to get some guidelines on how to format them, before you post another one :) (like [[Holocron:Featured Articles/2025/August]]). You'll see that it isn't just a redirect, but it is an actual summary with a link to the full article.

Happy editing!<br />~ 👀 [[User:Alani Myrtel|Alani Myrtel]] 21:32, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Alani Myrtel: attempted fix of homepage

[[Image:RBender003.png|150px|left|link=Rick Bender]]'''Rickard Laurentius Bender''' is the only son of Vance Bender and Damalia, née Gallo, of Theed. Born on the 76th day of Year 3 BCGT, his birth was never officially reported. This is not uncommon among the [[Naboo|Royal Naboo]], who value their privacy and are typically reluctant to have personal affairs recorded. This was especially true during the era of the [[First Galactic Civil War|Galactic Civil War]]. He is a human male from the city of Theed on planet [[Naboo (Planet)|Naboo]]. Known aliases include Shane Cage, Steven Dirtfarmer, Laurentius Yolo, Guapo, and R.L. A typical Naboolian, Rick Bender was home-schooled until the age of seven and was then enrolled in Theed's Royal House of Learning for five years of primary education. After passing the exams at the age of twelve, he continued on to the Theed School of Technology and Engineering and entered mandatory community service as a squire in the Theed Engineering Corps of the Royal Naboo Security Forces...
