==Early Years==
=In Service of an Empire=
 
===Imperial Academy===
Prakith greeted Elaine with an overwhelming embrace that reached beyond her senses, a planetary colossus of monumental proportions. The tapestry woven by the city-planet's intricate infrastructure stretched far beyond her expectations. While the worlds she had encountered under Tresario's banner were adorned with architectural marvels, never before had she stood amidst a metropolis of such staggering magnitude, housing a density of population that seemed to mirror the constellations themselves. The cityscape stretched out like a cosmic canvas, an urban symphony that played upon her senses.
 
Guided through the threshold of this grand expanse, Elaine found herself swept into a cavernous hall, a gathering place for innumerable Cadets like her. As she took her seat, surrounded by a sea of aspiring individuals, her anticipation mingled with the energy in the air. The hall was alive with the movements of droids and personnel, a synchronized ballet that sent staff on their way to rendezvous with training officers. Time flowed like a river, until her turn arrived like a guiding star.
 
Summoned into the presence of Training Officer Lieutenant Commander Mordus Nordstroem, Elaine's expectations encountered a surprising twist. The officer's office stood vacant, yet the holographic presence projected his authority from afar. Swiftly and succinctly, her directives were issued, a list of tasks that would test her resolve. Drawing upon the teachings of her upbringing, she committed herself wholeheartedly, embracing her tasks with a fervor that bore the essence of her heritage. The shadows of her ancestors walked alongside her, whispering encouragement with every stride.
 
As her lessons unfurled and the threads of her education began to weave a tapestry of knowledge, a tempestuous upheaval shrouded Prakith. A surge of electrical storms reverberated through the cosmos, provoking the planetary defense network to awaken. At the behest of her Training Officer, Elaine was swiftly dispatched alongside a pair of steadfast stormtroopers. Their mission was clear: to uncover the truth hidden within the tempest's wake, to ensure that civil order held and that the specter of hostility remained vanquished. Guided by duty, she delved into her assignment with an unwavering spirit, documenting onlookers and gathering intelligence with meticulous precision.


Elaine was born to a moderately powerful Hapan family who relocated when Elaine was young to another world within the Hapes Cluster. There the house slowly expanded its wealth and power under the guide of her paternal grandmother. The success enjoyed by the family was greatly expanded when her father began research and development of a new propulsion system for the monarchy of Naboo. As a result Elaine was again uprooted as a child by her grandmother when their family left the Cluster for Naboo. There her grandmother raised her teaching her the arts of business and warfare in hopes that Elaine would kindle the fire that flows in the veins the same as her ancestors.
Upon her return, as the tempest subsided and the stars reclaimed their tranquility, Elaine's journey shifted once more. Her final trials and examinations stood as the crucible through which she forged her path to graduation, her honor like a radiant sun. With the blessings of diligence and heritage, she emerged from her trials victorious, a graduate adorned with the laurels of excellence. Stepping into her role within the Regional Government, her journey was not just a story but an odyssey marked by resilience, purpose, and triumph.


==Akheton==
==Imperial Gala==
Elaine's days on Naboo were long for most of her life, her grandmother's had set about training her to ensure her a position of power in the Corporate government that controlled Naboo for later in her life. When Elaine turned 18, her diligence and devotion to excellence in her youth came to fruition as the company was all to eager to take her as an employee driving her to develop factories and production operations Elaine saw lines of production streamlined and made more effective. However the success in Akheton was short lived when the majority shareholders sold to the Trade Federation resulting in the acquisition and subsequent merger of Akheton into the Trade conglomerate.
Amid the blossoming tendrils of her early Imperial career, one event stood as a defining chapter in Elaine's journey: the Imperial Gala commemorating the reign of Emperor Guinar Ndengin the Undying. Within its opulent embrace, the stage was set for daring action to etch her mark on the annals of influence and ascendancy. Arriving at the palace aboard a JV-7 Delta shuttle, Elaine descended the ramp in the splendor of her finest gown. Each step was a dance of grace as she held her dress aloft, a young officer poised to make her presence felt.


==Arrival to Tresario==
Navigating through the intricate passages, she presented her credentials at the checkpoint, a formality that led her into the palace's embrace. The statues of Emperor Ndengin and his predecessors cast a commanding gaze over the path, flanked by turbolaser batteries standing sentinel, their presence a reminder of the power woven into the very architecture. As Elaine ascended the grand staircase, the main hall unfolded before her like a treasure trove of artistry. Its magnificence dwarfed anything she had witnessed before, a breathtaking display of craftsmanship that left her breathless.


Space was cold as ever for Elaine as she lay curled up in her bed on her Starrunner-class Starship Vendrix. It was in hyperspace her new home in Tresario space, from Naboo. She was eager to begin life anew, leaving her old Corporate life behind after Akheton’s board members voted to sell the company to the mighty Trade Federation, Elaine's lucrative position was terminated and she was forced to sell her flat and move onto her starship. She was hours from Bak`rofsen, she had booked a landing site for the next two weeks to find a place to live on the planet. The sudden lurch of the ship was Elaine’s only sign of exiting hyperspace drawing her from her sleep. She stretched and walked to the cockpit as quickly as she could, as she sat in the captain’s chair she could see in front of her a massive array of warships and civilian vessels flying to and fro. Suddenly a shadow came over her ship and a communication request flashed on her dash. Her hands flew over the console expertly securing the line and encrypting it.
In this realm of awe, her path intertwined with Heron Vandroy, a fellow member of the Regional Government. A shared curiosity led them to the gardens, where conversations flowed like a meandering river. It was here that Director Seele made his entrance, accompanied by his confidant Joer Knight. Elaine's audacious spirit led her to guide Heron toward this prestigious duo, a move that would herald the twist her evening took. Much to her astonishment, Director Seele extended an unexpected invitation—a tour of the palace. Under his guidance, they moved through guarded corridors, weaving past retinues of guards to explore reserved sanctuaries within the gardens.


Elaine immediately responded and plotted a course for the open space lanes and flew to orbit of Bak`rofsen. As her vessel neared the planet she gasped in awe, two massive Home One cruisers were orbiting the planet side by side in what appeared to be a patrol pattern. After several minutes of securing access to the planet below she descended eventually landing at the landing pad below. Still safely aboard her ship she decided to change and freshen up. Making her way to the refresher she turned on the shower, allowing the hot steamy water to relax her muscles and relieve the tension and stress of the past few weeks. She was home, or rather as close to a home it could be. Exiting the shower, she dressed and exited the ship, the planet surprisingly warm and dry as the air hit her face. She couldn’t help but hope that she would adjust to the planet quickly as she set about exploring.
As the tour meandered to a close, Elaine's gaze shifted to the man beside her, Director Seele. The embodiment of history and power, his very essence was woven into the foundations of the Galactic Empire. The triumvirate of Directors and their esteemed advisors were pillars that could not be shaken, their legacy a testament to the Empire's resilience and strength. Amid these contemplations, a sense of anxiety tinged Elaine's thoughts, her mind racing with the implications of her daring maneuver.


Returning to her ship she repeated this process for several days, discovering the Tresarian Recruiters center, a hospital and several excellent bars and restaurants. Along her travels she had applied to several jobs as well though none of them really were attractive to her, so on the seventh day she decided to stop by the recruiter’s center.
A sideways glance betrayed the trepidation that churned within her, yet Director Seele's gaze remained unyielding. Together, they traversed the threshold of a chamber, a vault adorned with a kaleidoscope of statues crafted from various stones. These intricately detailed figures painted stories of the past, each carved form an ode to history itself. Among them, an obsidian sculpture caught Elaine's eye—a depiction of a mother and child frozen in eternal embrace, their visages etched with astonishing realism.


Inside the center was a young human male, barely a few years younger than Elaine, she eyed him curiously he was attractive, with a stern face with dark black hair and brown eyes, he had a well-toned body beneath his uniform that almost seemed one size too small for him, she clucked her tongue trying to decide if that was on purpose or not as he rose to greet her.
The evening's tapestry unfurled, a tapestry of awe and wonder that wove its threads around Elaine and the Director. She moved as if caught in a dream, a child exploring a realm of splendor and majesty. Room after room, hall after hall, they ventured forth, a pair embroiled in a symphony of power and elegance as the night flowed toward its conclusion.
His hand extended and she grasped it smiling curtly.


Before long Elaine was on her way to the Tresarian University less than a week later.


Her time in the University came easy, physically she was fit and passed each physical test with ease, and her time on the range with her classmates was fun and leisurely for her as she was an excellent shot, establishing near mastery over projectile weapons from an early age under her grandfather’s tutelage. As for her piloting skills she scored decent marks being an already experienced pilot. All around she was pleased to score perfect marks on her final exam. Returning to her ship she boarded it hanging her uniforms and making to orbit to receive transport to her first official mission and be assigned to her first Tresarian ship.
==The Father, The Sun, And a Rising Metropolis==
Elaine's arrival at the hallowed precincts of the Regional Government's offices brimmed with unbridled enthusiasm, a spark that ignited her relentless engagement with her responsibilities. The once-neglected projects, mere fragments of potential, flourished under her nurturing guidance, sprouting to fruition. Wrapped in her unshakable faith in the Empire's political arm, the [[COMPNOR]], she embarked on a journey of integration, weaving threads of design from the Core into the very fabric of her architectural endeavors. Her prowess as a swift executor of tasks acted as a siren's call, drawing the attention of esteemed senior officials. With their gaze upon her, expectations soared, carving out a path of heightened standards. Undeterred, she embraced this mantle of progress, dedicating herself anew with a blazing fervor.


=In Service of an Empire=
Like a star ascending its celestial path, she charted a trajectory through the echelons of the Regional Government. A metamorphosis occurred within her, one that nurtured an appreciation for the viewpoints of several Class B Citizens. In this nuanced dance of governance, her orbit expanded to envelop those whose voices might have otherwise been muted. A few of these voices found resonance in her, and she extended her hand, drawing them into the intimate folds of her personal staff. The trajectory she carved was one of inclusivity, an embodiment of her commitment to fostering unity within the Empire's embrace.
 
Guided by her burgeoning influence, she was entrusted with the monumental task of crafting the blueprint for the development of the enigmatic planet ████████. This canvas was unveiled amidst the rallying cry of [[COMPNOR]], where the cadence of progress resonated with the hearts of refugees fleeing the clutches of the New Republic's tyranny. Elaine's revelation wove seamlessly into the tapestry of a greater narrative, a testament to her dedication and her belief in the Empire's enduring ideals.
 
==COMPNOR==
===Academy Revisited===
Elaine's adeptness in management and her unwavering attention to even the minutest of details swiftly cast a spotlight upon her within the hallowed halls of the Academy. Like a constellation aligning, the Dean's declining health plunged the institution into a state of uncertainty. In this pivotal juncture, the Commandant—an eminent figure and the most senior authority under the Minister of Culture in [[COMPNOR]]—recognizing Elaine's potential, bestowed upon her the role of acting Dean.
 
As time wove its tapestry, Elaine embraced her newfound responsibilities with an ardent spirit. The flame of her dedication kindled the drive for modernization, igniting the fervor to refine Imperial training materials and elevate academic standards to greater heights. Her relentless pursuit of progress served as both her anchor and guiding star, and it wasn't long before she was officially anointed as Dean, her rise a testament to her competence and commitment.
 
Yet, like a celestial body journeying across the heavens, her tenure in this esteemed role was destined to be brief. The inexorable demands of her duties within the Bureau reached out like gravitational forces, pulling her into its orbit with increasing intensity. Recognizing the immutable call to fulfill her responsibilities, Elaine made the decision to step back from her position as Dean. The torch she had carried was entrusted to Assistant Secretary Arya Solus, a transfer of power that occurred nearly a month after she had assumed the mantle herself. The tale of her stewardship was brief but impactful, a chapter of her journey that illuminated her capacity for leadership and adaptation.
 
 
 
===Signal Amplifier===
At the helm of the [[Imperial Security Bureau#Who? |Bureau]]'s Surveillance Department, Elaine assumed the mantle of a vigilant observer, her gaze spanning both local and imperial news with an unwavering dedication. Yet her role extended beyond mere observation, as her pen often danced across the pages, crafting and refining narratives for precision and accuracy. A virtuoso of truth, she wielded her words to shape the very information that coursed through the Empire's veins.
 
Her multifaceted contributions rippled across the landscape, each note of her symphony resonating through the corridors of influence. The Ministry of Culture, recognizing the orchestrator behind the scenes, extended an invitation for her to chair the Department—an invitation Elaine met with a resolute nod. Eagerly, she stepped into this elevated role, embracing it as both an honor and an opportunity. Her passion for unearthing the Empire's heartbeat burned brighter than ever before, propelling her into a relentless pursuit of events unfolding throughout the reaches of the galaxy.
 
 
==Imperial Security Bureau==
In the midst of year 18, Elaine Veritrax embarked on a pivotal shift, transitioning her allegiance from the Regional Government to the commanding realm of the Imperial Security Bureau. Adhering to protocol, her journey commenced at the hallowed ISB Headquarters on Coruscant, where the corridors whispered secrets and every step held the weight of potential. In the capable hands of her training officer, the enigmatic [[Kathleen Tate]], she embarked on an immersive probationary period.
 
Under the seasoned eye of her mentor, her days were etched with the indelible ink of rigorous training. A symphony of subjects unfolded before her, encompassing the realms of law, policy, risk management, and the rigors of physical conditioning. These crucibles of learning were the forge in which she honed herself for both overt and covert operations. Her ascent through these trials was swift and unwavering, fueled by a fusion of innovative ideas and unconventional methodologies. With her graduation from this crucible of knowledge, she unfurled her wings to embrace her newfound role as the Regional Liaison for the Empire's illustrious capital—the [[Emerald Region]].
 
In the embrace of the capital, Elaine's presence proved magnetic. A tapestry of agents and informants rallied beneath her banner, drawn by the gravitas she emanated. With determination and resolve, she endeavored to consolidate the disparate strands of Bureau operations, weaving them into a cohesive fabric that exemplified the Empire's unwavering stance. Her approach, marked by stringent rigor and unyielding purpose, echoed through the corridors of power. Planets and aristocrats in the Core were compelled to heed the Empire's ideals, guided by the metronome of her unrelenting actions.
 
===Chief of Surveillance===
Elaine's swift and adept consolidation of the Empire's law enforcement units within the Emerald Region painted her as an exceptional figure in the Directorate's gaze. Impressed by her prowess, the Directorate made a resolute decision—to grant her a dual command, entrusting her not only with the mantle of Regional Liaison but also as the Chief of Surveillance. This elevation to dual leadership prompted a symphony of transformation as she orchestrated a sweeping overhaul of the program she now helmed.
 
With fervor as her beacon, Elaine embarked on a journey to breathe new life into the Surveillance Department. Her canvas was a realm of doctrines and reporting methods that demanded reinvention, an operational landscape ripe for enhancement in capacity and the stratagem of information compartmentalization. The very foundations trembled as she restructured and reequipped Surveillance, arming it to face both domestic and intergalactic threats. The architecture of her design promised a harmonious interplay between intelligence and action.
 
Stepping onto the hallowed grounds of Coruscant, Elaine's presence seemed to reverberate with the weight of purpose. Here, she immersed herself in crafting procedural plans that would seal the gaps in data compartmentalization. The machinery of the Department of Surveillance was reshaped to harmonize with a relentless stream of intelligence, channeled through the tireless endeavors of surveillance professionals. This undercurrent of work served as the heartbeat behind counter-terrorism, foreign counterintelligence, and criminal investigations, orchestrating a symphony that influenced the trajectory of Imperial decisions.
 
Elaine's tenure marked the dawn of a new era—an era of sophisticated analysis and dissemination of intelligence. Advanced technology and cutting-edge data analysis techniques converged under her guidance, transforming the Bureau into a sentinel of precision. Her innovative strategies breathed life into the act of data analysis, unraveling potential threats and vulnerabilities with a swiftness hitherto unattained. These insights, an oracle's whisper, guided proactive measures to protect the Empire's interests and quell threats before they could strike.
 
Yet Elaine's reach extended beyond the realm of technology; she wove the tapestry of relationships with finesse. Fostering partnerships with key stakeholders across the Emerald Region and beyond, she became a conductor of collaboration. Her symphony of unity harmonized with local law enforcement agencies, military units, and other entities, creating a nexus of information and effort to safeguard the Empire's stability.
 
As the crescendo of her leadership resounded, the Department of Surveillance emerged as a beacon of excellence, admired by law enforcement agencies galaxy-wide. Elaine's unwavering dedication to the safety of Imperial citizens elevated her to a position of universal recognition and respect. She walked as a sage advisor, a trusted ally, offering her counsel to senior government officials and military leaders alike. In the pages of history, her legacy shone as a testament to leadership, vision, and an unyielding commitment to the Empire's safeguarding.
 
==Ministry of Culture==
 
Year 19, Day 355 marked a turning point as the names of Elaine and [[Draelor Nah`utal]] resounded across the Empire, bestowing upon them the titles of Ministers and inducting them into the revered Select Committee of the Empire's Central Government. This momentous elevation was not only a nod to their worthiness but a union with the embodiment of the Empire's ethos—COMPNOR, the cornerstone of both the Central Government and the Empire's Political Party, affectionately known to Elaine as "The Party."
 
With the mantle of Minister of Culture draped upon her shoulders, Elaine accepted a formidable challenge—the stewardship of the Empire's ideological dissemination and the unwavering loyalty of its populace. Her past stints as Director of Information Services and Chief of Surveillance had seeded the soil of experience, allowing her to sprout a plan to breathe life into propaganda's embers across the Empire's dominion.
 
Initiating this grand revival, she orchestrated the securing of funds to fuel the Ministry's expansion, casting her gaze on distinguished officers who could serve as key pillars. A chorus of "true believers" answered her call, embodying the very spirit of the New Order. This assembly, featuring luminaries like [[Arya Solus]], [[Patrick Mueirech]], and [[Lirri Elysar]], catalyzed a rapid metamorphosis. Their departments, veritable engines of influence, were reengineered to pierce the veils of private lives, kindling public interaction with the State.
 
In tandem with these visible shifts, subtler tides of transformation surged beneath the surface. Sven Jazzel, the maestro of artistic ingenuity, sculpted new media and banners that beckoned audiences from across the galaxies. Through the canvas of Culture, the Empire painted its tales. [[Krakonico Petermind]], a beacon of advocacy, rallied for the nurturing of the Empire's future through the Sub-Adult Group. Under his baton, triumphs etched in the Empire's annals were celebrated with exuberance. The Ministry's growth became a crescendo of engagement, each note a siren's call beckoning more souls into the embrace of The Party.
 
As the Ministry's influence swelled, its reach expanded beyond mere numbers. Underneath the surface, the very fabric of the Empire was rewoven. The efforts of Sven, Krakonico, and their peers infused new hues into the canvas of Imperial existence, transforming it into a masterpiece of engagement and unity. The Ministry's pursuit of igniting passion and loyalty blazed like a beacon, and as its flames leapt higher, it illuminated the Empire's path toward a future of shared purpose and unyielding dedication.
 
===Focused Signals===
Elaine's immediate focus became the rejuvenation and fortification of the Empire's propaganda machinery. This endeavor called for a collaborative symphony of minds, and she summoned her Secretaries to orchestrate this transformation. In this harmonious exchange, two brilliant officers were anointed to helm pivotal sections within the Information Service. [[Phaedra Thester]] was entrusted with the mantle of Chief Editor for the Empire's beloved magazine, "The Iron Will," while [[Owen von Ismay]] took on the mantle of Chief Archivist.
 
==Return to The Shadows==
On Year 22, Day 282, a symphony of roles converged as Elaine embarked on a dual journey—assuming the mantle of Chief of Analysis for Imperial Intelligence and Chair of the Imperial Information Service, responding to the beckoning call of the Select Committee. Her sagacious foresight had already set the stage, engaging in profound discussions with the Director of Imperial Intelligence even before the official appointment unfurled its wings. Together, they wove a tapestry of strategic renaissance, breathing life back into an organization that had weathered the storm of former betrayals.
 
Their shared pursuit of revitalization was a beacon of synergy. Elaine's focus became a beacon—recruiting exceptional talents to stand as her lieutenants. Two stellar figures emerged, stepping into the spotlight: Max Corrino and Thrae Claddlyl. Their combined expertise and dedication converged, forming the pillars of Elaine's strategic vision.
 
In the annals of Empire, Elaine's commitment was an unwavering note, resonating through the hearts of its denizens. A melody of dedication that could not be ignored. This song found harmonious recognition within the halls of the Political Party of COMPNOR. An intimate ceremony held within the chambers of the Select Committee enshrined her as a permanent member of this revered assembly. This honor was a crown, adorned with jewels of acknowledgment for her exceptional service as Minister of Culture and the multitude of contributions she had woven into the ministry's tapestry. A testament to her tireless work and indomitable leadership, this honor was the Empire's ovation to Elaine's symphony of dedication.
 
===Silencing Heretics===
 
 
A devoted scholar of Kintik's teachings and the lore of the Dark Lord himself, Darth Nantius' philosophical voyage through the realms of Sith ideology took an intriguing trajectory. As her mastery of the Force burgeoned, her perspectives swerved into the depths of violence and zealotry. Within the Order's labyrinthine passages, her influence blossomed, a testament to her growing understanding of the intricate dance within the Sith Order's society. It was a maturation marked by cunning and manipulation, a symphony of power orchestrated with precision.
 
Amidst this symphony, Year 22 heralded a pivotal crescendo. Darth Nantius, now a name spoken in hushed reverence, took her rightful place on the Dark Council. Within its shadowy chambers, she embraced the mantle of leadership over the enigmatic and formidable Saarai Enclave, a realm defined by its secrecy, violence, and unwavering devotion. The Enclave's name carried weight, resonating with whispers of fear and reverence—a stark testament to its place within the Order's hierarchy.
 
A solemn vow, etched in shadows, bound her to a singular purpose: to silence those who dared to raise dissenting voices against the teachings of the Empire and the sanctum of the Order. Her inner circle, a coterie of confidantes, became the bedrock upon which her vision was cast. With the precision of a master craftsman, she embarked on a journey to fortify the Enclave's standing. Stagnation was banished, and the seeds of transformation were sown. Training facilities, once a reflection of mediocrity, now stood as temples of growth and ascension. The reigns of control tightened, clutched in the hands of her trusted advisors, who mirrored her conviction and fervor.
 
In the shadow's embrace, Darth Nantius wove her narrative, threading her path with the essence of the Force itself. The symphony of her influence played on, resonating through the annals of Sith history, a testament to her unyielding spirit, her determination to carve her name into the tapestry of the Dark Side.
 
===The Ubiqtorate===
In the annals of Y23 D202, the tale of Elaine von Veritrax carried her to the very heart of Imperial supremacy—the grandeur-laden chambers of the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. Even though she had traversed its sprawling expanse before, this summons held an air of significance that eclipsed her previous visits to the colossal citadel. Empress Inwe Ventidius herself issued this enigmatic invitation, a gesture shrouded in veils of shadow and intrigue. Recognizing Elaine's steadfast devotion and the far-reaching waves of her impact, she was granted an ascent to the zenith of Imperial Intelligence, a position of singular prominence as the Director.


===Imperial Academy===
With the mantle of her newfound authority draped upon her shoulders, Elaine strode boldly into the forefront of the Ubiqtorate, embodying its intricate mechanisms. A recruitment campaign unfurled beneath her banner, seeking to beckon forth the most ingenious and ingenious minds the galaxy harbored. Across the tapestry of the cosmos, seeds of doubt were meticulously sown, and the Empire's dominion stood unwaveringly affirmed. As the mastermind behind clandestine symphonies, she dedicated herself ceaselessly to weaving a cosmic web of influence, intricately connecting the fates of those who dared challenge the Empire's unassailable dominion.


Elaine's arrival to Prakith was overwhelming to her sense, the sheer size of the planet and its infrastructure was astounding, never before had she encountered a city planet of such magnitude. She was quickly ushered into a massive hall with hundreds of other Cadets, where she was seated and instructed to wait until summoned. Dozens of droids and staff walked through rows of seats sending and escorting staff to training officers. When at last Elaine's turn came she was directed to an office of Training Officer, Lieutenant Commander (at the time) Mordus Nordstroem. His office to her surprise was empty, he was away from the Academy at the time and was instructing operations and training from afar via hologram. He set her to work quickly, directing her to accomplish a list of tasks among academic studies, striving to maintain the teachings of her upbringing Elaine worked as hard as she could to graduate with honors.
=Campaigns & Operations=


As her lessons began to come to a close a mass of electrical storms triggered a planetary defense network to read the energy signals and require investigation. Elaine, assigned by her training officer was quickly dispatched with a pair of stormtroopers to ensure no civil unrest or hostile action, upon her return she filed an in depth report, documenting onlookers and intelligence gathered during her thorough investigations of the area. Returning to her studies Elaine conducted her finals before graduating with honors and assuming her role in the Regional Government.
==War for Hosnian==


In the annals of Year 19, precisely on Day 188, the cosmic stage bore witness to the unveiling of the Hosnian system by explorers hailing from the Tresario Star Kingdom. What followed in the subsequent weeks was a crucible of trials by fire, a test that would challenge the resolve of all involved. As the echoes of this revelation reverberated, a clarion proclamation resounded—the clarion call of Imperial ownership, heralded by none other than [[Seele#Who? |Emperor Seele]].


==Imperial Gala==
A cascade of humanity, numbering in the thousands, converged upon the once-veiled system, each drawn by the irresistible allure of untouched landscapes and untapped potential. Yet, within this intoxicating opportunity lay the seeds of turmoil. A motley assembly of the influential and the wealthy rallied, crafting militias that played their part in the symphony of chaos, capitalizing on rebel factions' fervor to strike a blow against the Empire. This confluence of motives, fueled by avarice and fueled further by the echoes of rebel indoctrination, thrust thousands of workers into the fray. Their aim: to thwart the Empire's advance.
One of the first Empire wide events Elaine attended in her early career was the Imperial Gala celebrating the rule of Emperor [[Guinar Ndengin]] the Undying. Elaine arrived to the palace aboard a JV-7 Delta shuttle in one of her finest dresses. The young officer held her dress as she moved down the ramp of the ship making her way to the checkpoint Elaine presented her ID and invitation with her credentials.  


The Lieutenant smiled as he handed back her documents and sent her on her way.
Amidst this chaotic maelstrom, Elaine von Veritrax emerged as a key player, her role akin to a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, a delicate dance against the backdrop of shifting allegiances and treacherous ground. The formidable Kuga Morgul was her counterpart, a sparring partner in this intricate choreography. As build crews endeavored to shape the future of Hosnian, Veritrax maneuvered with calculated precision, orchestrating the ebb and flow of confrontation.
Moving through to the steps leading into the Palace, Elaine gazed in wonder at the immense statues of the Emperor. Along the walk way turbolaser batteries, trained on targets ensuring they maintained a good distance from the Palace. Ascending the stairs she came into the main hall and sucked in a sharp breath, the hall was a work of art unto itself and contained more craftsmanship in a single room than she had ever witnessed in her whole life.  


Working her way through the hall she encountered Heron Vandroy and happily led him in a curious manner into the gardens. For some time the pair of them chatter before Director [[Seele]] arrived accompanied by his close friend and ally Joer Knight. In a brash and almost daring move she dragged the young Prefect Vandroy with her to pay compliments to the venerable duo. The true surprise however was in store for Veritrax as the Director stole her away for a tour of the Palace. Veritrax and Lord [[Seele]] passed several retinue of guards as she accompanied him during the duration of the Gala where she observed events as she began the game of Imperial politics.
A tide turned, a conflict began to tip in favor of the Empire, and amidst this shift, Elaine donned new mantles. The ranks of special units beckoned, and with unwavering determination, she took up the task of rounding up build crews, many of whom had been hired by parties harboring hostility toward the Empire. In the shadow of this conflict—dubbed Operation: Swiftsure—she emerged as a stalwart presence on various fronts, a beacon of Imperial commitment and valor.


==The Father, The Sun, And a Rising Metropolis==
When the dust finally settled, and the echoes of battle had faded, a Letter of Commendation adorned Elaine's achievements—a testament to her service during this tumultuous campaign. In the backdrop of her actions, the name Veritrax was etched onto the canvas of history, a marker of dedication, courage, and an unyielding commitment to the Empire's cause.


Elaine's arrival to the Regional Government’s offices for her Region had filled her with great enthusiasm throwing herself into her work relentlessly. Projects once left unfinished were rapidly seeing completion under her supervision. Engrossed in her belief of the Empire’s political party of [[COMPNOR]] she quickly began integrating design ideas from across the Core into the architectural projects she undertook.


Her ability to rapidly accomplish tasks quickly drew the attention of various senior officials and with it, increased expectations, ever and the driver of progress she devoted herself to these new standards with renewed fervor.  
==Second Battle of Krmar==
Year 20, Day 70 marked the inception of the Second Battle of Krmar II—a pivotal chapter within the tapestry of the ongoing Second Galactic Civil War. The stage was set for a monumental clash between the Faerytail Family and the Archduchy of Tolonda, both vying for dominion over the fiercely contested planet of Krmar II. Among those who answered the Empire's call to arms were illustrious figures such as [[Arya Solus]], [[Filipe Barro]], [[Emillio Peares]], and the indomitable Sven Jazzel, each converging to lend their strength to the impending struggle.


Rising through the ranks of the Regional Government she grew to appreciate and tolerate the views of several Class B Citizens even pulling a few into her personal staff. She was afforded authority over making plans for the development of the planet ████████, which she unveiled to the refugee leaders fleeing the corruption of the New Republic amidst a [[COMPNOR]] rally.
The curtain of conflict had unfurled well before Year 20, Day 70, with the Archduchy of Tolonda's forces descending upon the planet's surface, a storm of ground forces echoing their intent. As days turned to weeks, the gathering storm was mirrored by the arrival of formidable reinforcements, both from the Imperial Union and the New Republic. Two formidable titans aligned with their respective allies, casting their lot into the cauldron of combat.


Yet, the battle exacted its toll—a somber toll that carved deep into the annals of history. Amidst the fervor and fury, four prominent figures from the galactic tableau fell into captivity, while the specter of execution cast a shadow over three of them. A heartrending chorus of loss sang through the universe as nearly 15,000 soldiers and laborers found their fates intertwined with the brutal dance of war. The canvas of Krmar II was splattered with blood, the price of conflict painted in crimson.


==COMPNOR==
Finally, on Day 135, the crescendo of combat met its denouement. The forces of the Archduchy of Tolonda and the New Republic, weary and bloodied, disengaged from the planet's surface, and the once-ravaged Krmar II could breathe a sigh of respite.
===Academy Revisited===
Elaine’s tact for management and attention to detail rapidly drew the attention of her superiors at the Academy. With the Dean falling into a state of critical illness the Commandant, and senior most authority next to the Minister of Culture for the party of COMPNOR, made Elaine acting Dean. As time passed she performed the duties with fervor, pushing to modernize content and ensure the quality of Imperial training materials were on par with Imperial standards.  With her continued advocating for progress she was officially made Dean. Her time as Dean was short as her duties with the Bureau demanded increasing amounts of her time. As a result she abdicated the post nearly a month after assuming it passing the responsibility over to (Assistant) Secretary [[Arya Solus]].


'''''"Ambition without direction can be self-destructive."''''' - Elaine speaking to Recruits at the Imperial Academy.
Yet, the story did not conclude with this battle. In the aftermath, the Archduchy of Tolonda underwent a transformation—an enigmatic metamorphosis that saw it rise as a false Sith Imperium, rewriting its narrative with the ink of intrigue and subversion. The echoes of the battle continued to reverberate, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the galactic theater, forever marked by the crucible of Krmar II.


===Signal Amplifier===
Leading the [[Imperial Security Bureau#Who? |Bureau]]'s Surveillance Department meant Elaine monitored news both locally and across the Empire to some extent; if she wasn't writing or editing it for accuracy. As a result of her work part time for the Ministry of Culture and her firm hand on the news networks already existing she was asked to chair the Department by the Ministry, accepting the position she fell into the role with fervor launching a series of campaigns to better capture events around the Empire.


==Imperial Security Bureau==
==Operation Reditus==


Around Year 20, Day 247, the specter of the CorSec Crisis cast its shadow across the galaxy—a tempestuous chapter that unfolded as former Executives and senior figures from the Correllian Security Force embarked on a daring endeavor. Their aim: to dismantle Imperial control that held sway over the expansive Correlia Sector. In the wake of this audacious operation, officers from diverse branches coalesced, forming a formidable vanguard poised to counter the insurgent threat.


In mid-year 18 Veritrax transferred from the Regional Government to the Imperial Security Bureau. As with standard procedure she was sent to Coruscant’s ISB HQs to begin her probationary period. Her training officer ████████, wasted no time and began to put her through rigorous training. Her training included study on law, policy, risk management and physical training to prep her for both overt and covert operations. She quickly rose to prominence with presentation of both innovative ideas and unorthodox methodology graduating her training and subsequently assuming the post as Regional Officer for the Empires capital, the Emerald Region.  
Much like the echoes of Hosnian, this crisis too was fueled by multifarious motives, greed and the quest for personal wealth being among the chief instigators. As the undercurrents of turmoil surged, strategic commands reverberated, and the call to action resounded. It was in this tumultuous tide that Elaine Veritrax found herself, entrusted with a pivotal role in the unfolding drama.


Within the first month in the capital she had effectively gathered Agents and informants she trusted into her Bureau operations seeking to consolidate and set a firm stance on all Bureau operations in the Region. Her strict and often harsh actions quickly brought planets and aristocrats of the core back into line of the Empire’s ideals.
Guided by the orders of strategic command, Veritrax's mantle of responsibility expanded, thrusting her into the heart of regional operations for one of the systems ensnared by this crisis. With steely resolve and an unwavering commitment to her duty, she recognized the gravity of the situation. Faced with a relentless insurgency, she responded with a calculated plan of action—one that hinged on the synergy of commanders and officers working in orchestrated harmony.


===Chief of Surveillance===
Delegating operational control with finesse, she devised a phased assault strategy that honored each commander's expertise and strengths. This tactically nuanced approach harnessed the collective might of her forces, steering them toward a shared goal while affording them the autonomy to seize opportunities as they arose. This meticulous orchestration manifested as a turning point—a pivot that swung the tide of battle in the favor of the Imperial forces under her command.
Impressed with her quick consolidation of the Empire’s law enforcement units in the Emerald Region the Directorate sought to expand her responsibilities and give her dual command, both as Regional Chief and Chief of Surveillance. With fervor she launched an overhaul of the program seeking to create new doctrine and reporting methods while improving operational capacity and improving compartmentalization of information.


As the storm clouds cleared and the crisis subsided, Veritrax's strategic acumen and resolute leadership stood as a testament to the power of unity and calculated action. The majority of Imperial territory within her assigned system was wrested back from the clutches of insurgence, solidifying the Empire's dominion once more. In the annals of galactic history, this chapter served as a beacon of resilience and collaboration, with Elaine Veritrax's name forever etched among those who turned the tide of adversity into triumph.

Elaine von Veritrax, acclaimed under the ominous alias of Darth Nantius, stands as a revered pillar within the tapestry of Imperial Society, her presence demanded at the opulent gatherings hosted by the Imperial aristocracy. Among her numerous eminent roles, she holds the exalted mantle of Director of Imperial Intelligence, a pivotal position within the enigmatic web of power, as well as being an esteemed member of the Empires Political Party and formerly an influential voice within the Sith Council.

As a devoted luminary within the Empire's Political Party, Elaine's legacy has been etched through years of service in the hallowed halls of the Ministry of Culture's Cabinet. Her tenure, marked by exceptional prowess, culminated in a permanent seat, a testament to her distinguished stewardship as the Minister of Culture under the reign of Emperor Seele. With an adroit hand, she navigates the labyrinthine corridors of Imperial politics, subtly crafting the trajectory of development, policy, and advancement across all sectors.

Elaine's saga of influence traces back through her multifaceted career. Her previous roles as Minister of Culture in the Central Government as a member of the Select Committee, and Imperial Security Bureau, alongside her suspected covert contributions to Imperial Intelligence, weave a narrative of a figure enshrouded in mystery and mastery. Her astute stratagems and intrinsic diplomacy have earned her the accolades of the Empire's elite echelons.

Beyond the realm of politics and bureaucracy, Elaine's aura of mastery transcends to a domain where the Force weaves its intricate threads. As Darth Nantius, she emerges as a paragon of the Sith arts, her dominion over the Force elevating her to unparalleled eminence. This arcane knowledge offers her a distinctive vantage, a lens through which she discerns the Empire's inner mechanisms, propelling her aspirations both personal and political. Yet, for all her triumphs and station, she remains an enigma, her poise reserved, her life veiled in privacy.

Elaine's unswerving loyalty to the Empire and the Sith Order resonates as an unwavering anthem. Her counsel is invoked in the highest sanctums of Imperial leadership, her sagacity a lodestar to those who steer the Empire's course. Her far-reaching influence has woven her name into the very fabric of power and prestige, a symbol synonymous with dominance among the cognoscenti who traverse her orbit.


In Service of an Empire

Imperial Academy

Prakith greeted Elaine with an overwhelming embrace that reached beyond her senses, a planetary colossus of monumental proportions. The tapestry woven by the city-planet's intricate infrastructure stretched far beyond her expectations. While the worlds she had encountered under Tresario's banner were adorned with architectural marvels, never before had she stood amidst a metropolis of such staggering magnitude, housing a density of population that seemed to mirror the constellations themselves. The cityscape stretched out like a cosmic canvas, an urban symphony that played upon her senses.

Guided through the threshold of this grand expanse, Elaine found herself swept into a cavernous hall, a gathering place for innumerable Cadets like her. As she took her seat, surrounded by a sea of aspiring individuals, her anticipation mingled with the energy in the air. The hall was alive with the movements of droids and personnel, a synchronized ballet that sent staff on their way to rendezvous with training officers. Time flowed like a river, until her turn arrived like a guiding star.

Summoned into the presence of Training Officer Lieutenant Commander Mordus Nordstroem, Elaine's expectations encountered a surprising twist. The officer's office stood vacant, yet the holographic presence projected his authority from afar. Swiftly and succinctly, her directives were issued, a list of tasks that would test her resolve. Drawing upon the teachings of her upbringing, she committed herself wholeheartedly, embracing her tasks with a fervor that bore the essence of her heritage. The shadows of her ancestors walked alongside her, whispering encouragement with every stride.

As her lessons unfurled and the threads of her education began to weave a tapestry of knowledge, a tempestuous upheaval shrouded Prakith. A surge of electrical storms reverberated through the cosmos, provoking the planetary defense network to awaken. At the behest of her Training Officer, Elaine was swiftly dispatched alongside a pair of steadfast stormtroopers. Their mission was clear: to uncover the truth hidden within the tempest's wake, to ensure that civil order held and that the specter of hostility remained vanquished. Guided by duty, she delved into her assignment with an unwavering spirit, documenting onlookers and gathering intelligence with meticulous precision.

Upon her return, as the tempest subsided and the stars reclaimed their tranquility, Elaine's journey shifted once more. Her final trials and examinations stood as the crucible through which she forged her path to graduation, her honor like a radiant sun. With the blessings of diligence and heritage, she emerged from her trials victorious, a graduate adorned with the laurels of excellence. Stepping into her role within the Regional Government, her journey was not just a story but an odyssey marked by resilience, purpose, and triumph.

Imperial Gala

Amid the blossoming tendrils of her early Imperial career, one event stood as a defining chapter in Elaine's journey: the Imperial Gala commemorating the reign of Emperor Guinar Ndengin the Undying. Within its opulent embrace, the stage was set for daring action to etch her mark on the annals of influence and ascendancy. Arriving at the palace aboard a JV-7 Delta shuttle, Elaine descended the ramp in the splendor of her finest gown. Each step was a dance of grace as she held her dress aloft, a young officer poised to make her presence felt.

Navigating through the intricate passages, she presented her credentials at the checkpoint, a formality that led her into the palace's embrace. The statues of Emperor Ndengin and his predecessors cast a commanding gaze over the path, flanked by turbolaser batteries standing sentinel, their presence a reminder of the power woven into the very architecture. As Elaine ascended the grand staircase, the main hall unfolded before her like a treasure trove of artistry. Its magnificence dwarfed anything she had witnessed before, a breathtaking display of craftsmanship that left her breathless.

In this realm of awe, her path intertwined with Heron Vandroy, a fellow member of the Regional Government. A shared curiosity led them to the gardens, where conversations flowed like a meandering river. It was here that Director Seele made his entrance, accompanied by his confidant Joer Knight. Elaine's audacious spirit led her to guide Heron toward this prestigious duo, a move that would herald the twist her evening took. Much to her astonishment, Director Seele extended an unexpected invitation—a tour of the palace. Under his guidance, they moved through guarded corridors, weaving past retinues of guards to explore reserved sanctuaries within the gardens.

As the tour meandered to a close, Elaine's gaze shifted to the man beside her, Director Seele. The embodiment of history and power, his very essence was woven into the foundations of the Galactic Empire. The triumvirate of Directors and their esteemed advisors were pillars that could not be shaken, their legacy a testament to the Empire's resilience and strength. Amid these contemplations, a sense of anxiety tinged Elaine's thoughts, her mind racing with the implications of her daring maneuver.

A sideways glance betrayed the trepidation that churned within her, yet Director Seele's gaze remained unyielding. Together, they traversed the threshold of a chamber, a vault adorned with a kaleidoscope of statues crafted from various stones. These intricately detailed figures painted stories of the past, each carved form an ode to history itself. Among them, an obsidian sculpture caught Elaine's eye—a depiction of a mother and child frozen in eternal embrace, their visages etched with astonishing realism.

The evening's tapestry unfurled, a tapestry of awe and wonder that wove its threads around Elaine and the Director. She moved as if caught in a dream, a child exploring a realm of splendor and majesty. Room after room, hall after hall, they ventured forth, a pair embroiled in a symphony of power and elegance as the night flowed toward its conclusion.


The Father, The Sun, And a Rising Metropolis

Elaine's arrival at the hallowed precincts of the Regional Government's offices brimmed with unbridled enthusiasm, a spark that ignited her relentless engagement with her responsibilities. The once-neglected projects, mere fragments of potential, flourished under her nurturing guidance, sprouting to fruition. Wrapped in her unshakable faith in the Empire's political arm, the COMPNOR, she embarked on a journey of integration, weaving threads of design from the Core into the very fabric of her architectural endeavors. Her prowess as a swift executor of tasks acted as a siren's call, drawing the attention of esteemed senior officials. With their gaze upon her, expectations soared, carving out a path of heightened standards. Undeterred, she embraced this mantle of progress, dedicating herself anew with a blazing fervor.

Like a star ascending its celestial path, she charted a trajectory through the echelons of the Regional Government. A metamorphosis occurred within her, one that nurtured an appreciation for the viewpoints of several Class B Citizens. In this nuanced dance of governance, her orbit expanded to envelop those whose voices might have otherwise been muted. A few of these voices found resonance in her, and she extended her hand, drawing them into the intimate folds of her personal staff. The trajectory she carved was one of inclusivity, an embodiment of her commitment to fostering unity within the Empire's embrace.

Guided by her burgeoning influence, she was entrusted with the monumental task of crafting the blueprint for the development of the enigmatic planet ████████. This canvas was unveiled amidst the rallying cry of COMPNOR, where the cadence of progress resonated with the hearts of refugees fleeing the clutches of the New Republic's tyranny. Elaine's revelation wove seamlessly into the tapestry of a greater narrative, a testament to her dedication and her belief in the Empire's enduring ideals.

COMPNOR

Academy Revisited

Elaine's adeptness in management and her unwavering attention to even the minutest of details swiftly cast a spotlight upon her within the hallowed halls of the Academy. Like a constellation aligning, the Dean's declining health plunged the institution into a state of uncertainty. In this pivotal juncture, the Commandant—an eminent figure and the most senior authority under the Minister of Culture in COMPNOR—recognizing Elaine's potential, bestowed upon her the role of acting Dean.

As time wove its tapestry, Elaine embraced her newfound responsibilities with an ardent spirit. The flame of her dedication kindled the drive for modernization, igniting the fervor to refine Imperial training materials and elevate academic standards to greater heights. Her relentless pursuit of progress served as both her anchor and guiding star, and it wasn't long before she was officially anointed as Dean, her rise a testament to her competence and commitment.

Yet, like a celestial body journeying across the heavens, her tenure in this esteemed role was destined to be brief. The inexorable demands of her duties within the Bureau reached out like gravitational forces, pulling her into its orbit with increasing intensity. Recognizing the immutable call to fulfill her responsibilities, Elaine made the decision to step back from her position as Dean. The torch she had carried was entrusted to Assistant Secretary Arya Solus, a transfer of power that occurred nearly a month after she had assumed the mantle herself. The tale of her stewardship was brief but impactful, a chapter of her journey that illuminated her capacity for leadership and adaptation.


Signal Amplifier

At the helm of the Bureau's Surveillance Department, Elaine assumed the mantle of a vigilant observer, her gaze spanning both local and imperial news with an unwavering dedication. Yet her role extended beyond mere observation, as her pen often danced across the pages, crafting and refining narratives for precision and accuracy. A virtuoso of truth, she wielded her words to shape the very information that coursed through the Empire's veins.

Her multifaceted contributions rippled across the landscape, each note of her symphony resonating through the corridors of influence. The Ministry of Culture, recognizing the orchestrator behind the scenes, extended an invitation for her to chair the Department—an invitation Elaine met with a resolute nod. Eagerly, she stepped into this elevated role, embracing it as both an honor and an opportunity. Her passion for unearthing the Empire's heartbeat burned brighter than ever before, propelling her into a relentless pursuit of events unfolding throughout the reaches of the galaxy.


Imperial Security Bureau

In the midst of year 18, Elaine Veritrax embarked on a pivotal shift, transitioning her allegiance from the Regional Government to the commanding realm of the Imperial Security Bureau. Adhering to protocol, her journey commenced at the hallowed ISB Headquarters on Coruscant, where the corridors whispered secrets and every step held the weight of potential. In the capable hands of her training officer, the enigmatic Kathleen Tate, she embarked on an immersive probationary period.

Under the seasoned eye of her mentor, her days were etched with the indelible ink of rigorous training. A symphony of subjects unfolded before her, encompassing the realms of law, policy, risk management, and the rigors of physical conditioning. These crucibles of learning were the forge in which she honed herself for both overt and covert operations. Her ascent through these trials was swift and unwavering, fueled by a fusion of innovative ideas and unconventional methodologies. With her graduation from this crucible of knowledge, she unfurled her wings to embrace her newfound role as the Regional Liaison for the Empire's illustrious capital—the Emerald Region.

In the embrace of the capital, Elaine's presence proved magnetic. A tapestry of agents and informants rallied beneath her banner, drawn by the gravitas she emanated. With determination and resolve, she endeavored to consolidate the disparate strands of Bureau operations, weaving them into a cohesive fabric that exemplified the Empire's unwavering stance. Her approach, marked by stringent rigor and unyielding purpose, echoed through the corridors of power. Planets and aristocrats in the Core were compelled to heed the Empire's ideals, guided by the metronome of her unrelenting actions.

Chief of Surveillance

Elaine's swift and adept consolidation of the Empire's law enforcement units within the Emerald Region painted her as an exceptional figure in the Directorate's gaze. Impressed by her prowess, the Directorate made a resolute decision—to grant her a dual command, entrusting her not only with the mantle of Regional Liaison but also as the Chief of Surveillance. This elevation to dual leadership prompted a symphony of transformation as she orchestrated a sweeping overhaul of the program she now helmed.

With fervor as her beacon, Elaine embarked on a journey to breathe new life into the Surveillance Department. Her canvas was a realm of doctrines and reporting methods that demanded reinvention, an operational landscape ripe for enhancement in capacity and the stratagem of information compartmentalization. The very foundations trembled as she restructured and reequipped Surveillance, arming it to face both domestic and intergalactic threats. The architecture of her design promised a harmonious interplay between intelligence and action.

Stepping onto the hallowed grounds of Coruscant, Elaine's presence seemed to reverberate with the weight of purpose. Here, she immersed herself in crafting procedural plans that would seal the gaps in data compartmentalization. The machinery of the Department of Surveillance was reshaped to harmonize with a relentless stream of intelligence, channeled through the tireless endeavors of surveillance professionals. This undercurrent of work served as the heartbeat behind counter-terrorism, foreign counterintelligence, and criminal investigations, orchestrating a symphony that influenced the trajectory of Imperial decisions.

Elaine's tenure marked the dawn of a new era—an era of sophisticated analysis and dissemination of intelligence. Advanced technology and cutting-edge data analysis techniques converged under her guidance, transforming the Bureau into a sentinel of precision. Her innovative strategies breathed life into the act of data analysis, unraveling potential threats and vulnerabilities with a swiftness hitherto unattained. These insights, an oracle's whisper, guided proactive measures to protect the Empire's interests and quell threats before they could strike.

Yet Elaine's reach extended beyond the realm of technology; she wove the tapestry of relationships with finesse. Fostering partnerships with key stakeholders across the Emerald Region and beyond, she became a conductor of collaboration. Her symphony of unity harmonized with local law enforcement agencies, military units, and other entities, creating a nexus of information and effort to safeguard the Empire's stability.

As the crescendo of her leadership resounded, the Department of Surveillance emerged as a beacon of excellence, admired by law enforcement agencies galaxy-wide. Elaine's unwavering dedication to the safety of Imperial citizens elevated her to a position of universal recognition and respect. She walked as a sage advisor, a trusted ally, offering her counsel to senior government officials and military leaders alike. In the pages of history, her legacy shone as a testament to leadership, vision, and an unyielding commitment to the Empire's safeguarding.

Ministry of Culture

Year 19, Day 355 marked a turning point as the names of Elaine and Draelor Nah`utal resounded across the Empire, bestowing upon them the titles of Ministers and inducting them into the revered Select Committee of the Empire's Central Government. This momentous elevation was not only a nod to their worthiness but a union with the embodiment of the Empire's ethos—COMPNOR, the cornerstone of both the Central Government and the Empire's Political Party, affectionately known to Elaine as "The Party."

With the mantle of Minister of Culture draped upon her shoulders, Elaine accepted a formidable challenge—the stewardship of the Empire's ideological dissemination and the unwavering loyalty of its populace. Her past stints as Director of Information Services and Chief of Surveillance had seeded the soil of experience, allowing her to sprout a plan to breathe life into propaganda's embers across the Empire's dominion.

Initiating this grand revival, she orchestrated the securing of funds to fuel the Ministry's expansion, casting her gaze on distinguished officers who could serve as key pillars. A chorus of "true believers" answered her call, embodying the very spirit of the New Order. This assembly, featuring luminaries like Arya Solus, Patrick Mueirech, and Lirri Elysar, catalyzed a rapid metamorphosis. Their departments, veritable engines of influence, were reengineered to pierce the veils of private lives, kindling public interaction with the State.

In tandem with these visible shifts, subtler tides of transformation surged beneath the surface. Sven Jazzel, the maestro of artistic ingenuity, sculpted new media and banners that beckoned audiences from across the galaxies. Through the canvas of Culture, the Empire painted its tales. Krakonico Petermind, a beacon of advocacy, rallied for the nurturing of the Empire's future through the Sub-Adult Group. Under his baton, triumphs etched in the Empire's annals were celebrated with exuberance. The Ministry's growth became a crescendo of engagement, each note a siren's call beckoning more souls into the embrace of The Party.

As the Ministry's influence swelled, its reach expanded beyond mere numbers. Underneath the surface, the very fabric of the Empire was rewoven. The efforts of Sven, Krakonico, and their peers infused new hues into the canvas of Imperial existence, transforming it into a masterpiece of engagement and unity. The Ministry's pursuit of igniting passion and loyalty blazed like a beacon, and as its flames leapt higher, it illuminated the Empire's path toward a future of shared purpose and unyielding dedication.

Focused Signals

Elaine's immediate focus became the rejuvenation and fortification of the Empire's propaganda machinery. This endeavor called for a collaborative symphony of minds, and she summoned her Secretaries to orchestrate this transformation. In this harmonious exchange, two brilliant officers were anointed to helm pivotal sections within the Information Service. Phaedra Thester was entrusted with the mantle of Chief Editor for the Empire's beloved magazine, "The Iron Will," while Owen von Ismay took on the mantle of Chief Archivist.

Return to The Shadows

On Year 22, Day 282, a symphony of roles converged as Elaine embarked on a dual journey—assuming the mantle of Chief of Analysis for Imperial Intelligence and Chair of the Imperial Information Service, responding to the beckoning call of the Select Committee. Her sagacious foresight had already set the stage, engaging in profound discussions with the Director of Imperial Intelligence even before the official appointment unfurled its wings. Together, they wove a tapestry of strategic renaissance, breathing life back into an organization that had weathered the storm of former betrayals.

Their shared pursuit of revitalization was a beacon of synergy. Elaine's focus became a beacon—recruiting exceptional talents to stand as her lieutenants. Two stellar figures emerged, stepping into the spotlight: Max Corrino and Thrae Claddlyl. Their combined expertise and dedication converged, forming the pillars of Elaine's strategic vision.

In the annals of Empire, Elaine's commitment was an unwavering note, resonating through the hearts of its denizens. A melody of dedication that could not be ignored. This song found harmonious recognition within the halls of the Political Party of COMPNOR. An intimate ceremony held within the chambers of the Select Committee enshrined her as a permanent member of this revered assembly. This honor was a crown, adorned with jewels of acknowledgment for her exceptional service as Minister of Culture and the multitude of contributions she had woven into the ministry's tapestry. A testament to her tireless work and indomitable leadership, this honor was the Empire's ovation to Elaine's symphony of dedication.

Silencing Heretics

A devoted scholar of Kintik's teachings and the lore of the Dark Lord himself, Darth Nantius' philosophical voyage through the realms of Sith ideology took an intriguing trajectory. As her mastery of the Force burgeoned, her perspectives swerved into the depths of violence and zealotry. Within the Order's labyrinthine passages, her influence blossomed, a testament to her growing understanding of the intricate dance within the Sith Order's society. It was a maturation marked by cunning and manipulation, a symphony of power orchestrated with precision.

Amidst this symphony, Year 22 heralded a pivotal crescendo. Darth Nantius, now a name spoken in hushed reverence, took her rightful place on the Dark Council. Within its shadowy chambers, she embraced the mantle of leadership over the enigmatic and formidable Saarai Enclave, a realm defined by its secrecy, violence, and unwavering devotion. The Enclave's name carried weight, resonating with whispers of fear and reverence—a stark testament to its place within the Order's hierarchy.

A solemn vow, etched in shadows, bound her to a singular purpose: to silence those who dared to raise dissenting voices against the teachings of the Empire and the sanctum of the Order. Her inner circle, a coterie of confidantes, became the bedrock upon which her vision was cast. With the precision of a master craftsman, she embarked on a journey to fortify the Enclave's standing. Stagnation was banished, and the seeds of transformation were sown. Training facilities, once a reflection of mediocrity, now stood as temples of growth and ascension. The reigns of control tightened, clutched in the hands of her trusted advisors, who mirrored her conviction and fervor.

In the shadow's embrace, Darth Nantius wove her narrative, threading her path with the essence of the Force itself. The symphony of her influence played on, resonating through the annals of Sith history, a testament to her unyielding spirit, her determination to carve her name into the tapestry of the Dark Side.

The Ubiqtorate

In the annals of Y23 D202, the tale of Elaine von Veritrax carried her to the very heart of Imperial supremacy—the grandeur-laden chambers of the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. Even though she had traversed its sprawling expanse before, this summons held an air of significance that eclipsed her previous visits to the colossal citadel.

War for Hosnian

In the annals of Year 19, precisely on Day 188, the cosmic stage bore witness to the unveiling of the Hosnian system by explorers hailing from the Tresario Star Kingdom. What followed in the subsequent weeks was a crucible of trials by fire, a test that would challenge the resolve of all involved. As the echoes of this revelation reverberated, a clarion proclamation resounded—the clarion call of Imperial ownership, heralded by none other than Emperor Seele.

A cascade of humanity, numbering in the thousands, converged upon the once-veiled system, each drawn by the irresistible allure of untouched landscapes and untapped potential. Yet, within this intoxicating opportunity lay the seeds of turmoil. A motley assembly of the influential and the wealthy rallied, crafting militias that played their part in the symphony of chaos, capitalizing on rebel factions' fervor to strike a blow against the Empire. This confluence of motives, fueled by avarice and fueled further by the echoes of rebel indoctrination, thrust thousands of workers into the fray. Their aim: to thwart the Empire's advance.

Amidst this chaotic maelstrom, Elaine von Veritrax emerged as a key player, her role akin to a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, a delicate dance against the backdrop of shifting allegiances and treacherous ground. The formidable Kuga Morgul was her counterpart, a sparring partner in this intricate choreography. As build crews endeavored to shape the future of Hosnian, Veritrax maneuvered with calculated precision, orchestrating the ebb and flow of confrontation.

A tide turned, a conflict began to tip in favor of the Empire, and amidst this shift, Elaine donned new mantles. The ranks of special units beckoned, and with unwavering determination, she took up the task of rounding up build crews, many of whom had been hired by parties harboring hostility toward the Empire. In the shadow of this conflict—dubbed Operation: Swiftsure—she emerged as a stalwart presence on various fronts, a beacon of Imperial commitment and valor.

When the dust finally settled, and the echoes of battle had faded, a Letter of Commendation adorned Elaine's achievements—a testament to her service during this tumultuous campaign. In the backdrop of her actions, the name Veritrax was etched onto the canvas of history, a marker of dedication, courage, and an unyielding commitment to the Empire's cause.


Second Battle of Krmar

Year 20, Day 70 marked the inception of the Second Battle of Krmar II—a pivotal chapter within the tapestry of the ongoing Second Galactic Civil War. The stage was set for a monumental clash between the Faerytail Family and the Archduchy of Tolonda, both vying for dominion over the fiercely contested planet of Krmar II. Among those who answered the Empire's call to arms were illustrious figures such as Arya Solus, Filipe Barro, Emillio Peares, and the indomitable Sven Jazzel, each converging to lend their strength to the impending struggle.

The curtain of conflict had unfurled well before Year 20, Day 70, with the Archduchy of Tolonda's forces descending upon the planet's surface, a storm of ground forces echoing their intent. As days turned to weeks, the gathering storm was mirrored by the arrival of formidable reinforcements, both from the Imperial Union and the New Republic. Two formidable titans aligned with their respective allies, casting their lot into the cauldron of combat.

Yet, the battle exacted its toll—a somber toll that carved deep into the annals of history. Amidst the fervor and fury, four prominent figures from the galactic tableau fell into captivity, while the specter of execution cast a shadow over three of them. A heartrending chorus of loss sang through the universe as nearly 15,000 soldiers and laborers found their fates intertwined with the brutal dance of war. The canvas of Krmar II was splattered with blood, the price of conflict painted in crimson.

Finally, on Day 135, the crescendo of combat met its denouement. The forces of the Archduchy of Tolonda and the New Republic, weary and bloodied, disengaged from the planet's surface, and the once-ravaged Krmar II could breathe a sigh of respite.

Yet, the story did not conclude with this battle. In the aftermath, the Archduchy of Tolonda underwent a transformation—an enigmatic metamorphosis that saw it rise as a false Sith Imperium, rewriting its narrative with the ink of intrigue and subversion. The echoes of the battle continued to reverberate, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the galactic theater, forever marked by the crucible of Krmar II.


Operation Reditus

Around Year 20, Day 247, the specter of the CorSec Crisis cast its shadow across the galaxy—a tempestuous chapter that unfolded as former Executives and senior figures from the Correllian Security Force embarked on a daring endeavor. Their aim: to dismantle Imperial control that held sway over the expansive Correlia Sector. In the wake of this audacious operation, officers from diverse branches coalesced, forming a formidable vanguard poised to counter the insurgent threat.

Much like the echoes of Hosnian, this crisis too was fueled by multifarious motives, greed and the quest for personal wealth being among the chief instigators. As the undercurrents of turmoil surged, strategic commands reverberated, and the call to action resounded. It was in this tumultuous tide that Elaine Veritrax found herself, entrusted with a pivotal role in the unfolding drama.

Guided by the orders of strategic command, Veritrax's mantle of responsibility expanded, thrusting her into the heart of regional operations for one of the systems ensnared by this crisis. With steely resolve and an unwavering commitment to her duty, she recognized the gravity of the situation. Faced with a relentless insurgency, she responded with a calculated plan of action—one that hinged on the synergy of commanders and officers working in orchestrated harmony.

Delegating operational control with finesse, she devised a phased assault strategy that honored each commander's expertise and strengths. This tactically nuanced approach harnessed the collective might of her forces, steering them toward a shared goal while affording them the autonomy to seize opportunities as they arose. This meticulous orchestration manifested as a turning point—a pivot that swung the tide of battle in the favor of the Imperial forces under her command.

As the storm clouds cleared and the crisis subsided, Veritrax's strategic acumen and resolute leadership stood as a testament to the power of unity and calculated action. The majority of Imperial territory within her assigned system was wrested back from the clutches of insurgence, solidifying the Empire's dominion once more. In the annals of galactic history, this chapter served as a beacon of resilience and collaboration, with Elaine Veritrax's name forever etched among those who turned the tide of adversity into triumph.

Operation Swamp Net

In the early stages of her tenure as the Director of Imperial Intelligence, Elaine von Veritrax orchestrated a substantial expansion in the deployment of field agents and contracted operatives, spanning the vast reaches of the galaxy. Among these accomplished individuals, one particularly exceptional talent emerged: the Togorian known as Natsuki Natsu. Natsu's journey into the realm of Imperial Intelligence began when she departed her homeworld, eventually finding her purpose within the Rebel Alliance at the urging of the Ubiqtorate. This affiliation, indirectly fostered by Director Veritrax herself, saw Natsuki Natsu rapidly embedding herself within various Rebellion-affiliated factions. Her adeptness earned her the confidence of numerous high-ranking field officers.

In a pivotal juncture, Natsu astutely ambushed and subdued Jedi Praxeum member Glenn Osmer, displaying remarkable prowess. This triumphant feat culminated in her successfully securing Osmer within her own vessel. Following this decisive act, Natsuki Natsu expediently conveyed Osmer to the direct oversight of Director Veritrax. This closely supervised operation underlined Veritrax's personal involvement in the unfolding events across the Galaxy, a reminder to those who oppose the Empire of her reach.
