== An &amp;quot;Unremarkable Girl&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Birth of a Mundane ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At a time when the Jedi were few and far inbetween, two Force Users — Ellie and Jasper Corden — of no particular order, and not of the Light or Dark, settled upon New Tython in hopes to help bring new Force Sensitive life into the Galaxy. It was there that they were elated to discover that Ellie was with child. Jasper, having always wished to make his mark upon the Galaxy and the Jedi at large, thanked Ashla, but shortly after their daughter was born, they came to realize their wishes had not been granted. Their daughter, named Destri, was not gifted with the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellie and Jasper allowed anger into their hearts and directed it towards the only thing they could control: their daughter. For five years, they half-heartedly taught their mundane child while still attempting to bring a new life into the Force. Finally, during the time of the Battle of Yavin IV, their second daughter, Alexandria, was born.Very early on, it was apparent the she was gifted with the Force, and any remnants of love and care were stripped from Destri as Alexandria became the sole focus of their parents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through the years, Destri learned the common ways of life through family’s friends, though those of a Force Sensitive nature also gave her little to no help, causing her to have a deeply embedded distrust of their kind. Some even offered to teach her of their professions, some of military life, some of political. Destri clung dearly and quickly to the structure and discipline of the military life, so it was no surprised when she left home at seventeen to enlist with the [[Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force|K.U.D.F.]] that had arrived with the presence of a group of Jedi and allies known as Odan-Urr.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Military Genius ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DestriCorden.jpg|125px|thumb|left|Destri Corden]]&lt;br /&gt;
Straight out of her basic training, Destri proved to be a worthwhile strategist, having passed most of her tactics courses with flying colors and completing weapons training and general military knowledge. Primarily assigned to a strategic command, where she would assist in checking orders, offering insight and even proposing new naval troop movements herself, Private Corden did her best to find a purpose in her life. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, in the K.U.D.F., that Destri decided that nothing would ever stop her from achieving the goals she placed before herself. She would do her best in everything she attempted and never let anyone tell her that she could not achieve something. In her mind, she was being reborn in the fires of combat and discipline, and she would emerge a better person because of it.&lt;br /&gt;
In the years that followed, Destri continued to perform her job in the best possible fashion. Award and recognition were offered to her for her dedication and dutiful attitude, giving her the life purpose she so desired. It wasn’t until she was a Major and second in command of her strategic command unit, that she was approached by a Colonel Jericho Tannor. He briefly explained that he was part of the [[Tanduran and Dac Unified Commandos|T.D.U.C.]], and was sent to recruit Major Corden into their ranks. Destri saw this as another opportunity to further her goals and grow in both skill and discipline, thus she accepted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Elite Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For seven years, Destri worked with the T.U.D.C. under Jericho’s command. She primarily acted as their intelligence liaison and strategist, leaving most of the heavy hitting to the rest of the commandos, but when it came to crunch, she was able to keep up with the team when it counted. Over time, she learned about Jericho and his time in the military, mesmerized by  his war stories and achievements. Eventually, she became smitten and confided to him, explaining her past and her struggles through life, only being able to trust herself. He shared her feelings, giving Destri a shoulder to cry on, an ally in combat and eventually, a warm bed to share. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri and Jericho were inseparable. The more they worked together, the stronger their bond became. Everything the Colonel had to teach, the Major learned with the same excellence she had shown her entire career. Mission after mission, the TUDC team thwarted threats, relayed intelligence and continued performing their basic military duties until word of an impending invasion rang through the intelligence community. A group known as the Dark Brotherhood was threatening New Tython, primarily those of Odan-Urr, with horrifying power. A sect of them known as Arcona were the ones to initially invade the planet, and that is where Destri’s life changed forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Invasion of New Tython ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jericho had been called away, one of the few times Destri was not able to join him. Her team was too busy dealing with the initial attacks from Arcona for her to worry about the Colonel, but he was always on her mind. Only a few weeks into the invasion, however, Major Corden received word that the facility where Jericho was sent had been hit by orbital strikes, no word on survivors. In that moment, Destri’s world collapsed around her. The only person she truly cared for was gone and that left her with nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a panic, thinking she had nothing left to live for, the Major elected to serve on the frontlines, using her knowledge of the war to help the military thwart the Arcona forces. Her platoon quickly encountered a strong force of the Arcona military, leading to one of the bloodiest battles Destri had ever seen. Massive casualties eventually played out to a complete loss of life on both sides. Destri, however, knew how to hide and did so, surviving the onslaught.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the skills taught to her by Jericho, she stealthily dispatched the last few remaining Arcona soldiers, the last being a woman slightly older than her. Having lost her love, been neglected nearly her entire life from her family and having to fight for herself, Destri decided, then and there, that she would not remain on New Tython. Using the surrounding environment and the uniform of the woman she had killed, Destri impersonated Arcia Cortel, also a Major in the Dajorra Defense Force, apparently the military of Arcona. With previous knowledge of the enemy base location and some understanding of their workings, Destri infiltrated the Arcona F.O.B. and was accepted as the sole survivor of the engagement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new life was to begin for Destri. No longer would she be viewed upon with neglect and disdain. She would do what was necessary to survive and for her, running away to Arcona was her way of doing it. At first, it was hard to play a completely different person, especially one you didn’t know, but many of her attitude quirks seemed to have been in line with what was to be expected from Arcia. Any other issues were written off as psychological damage, having been the sole survivor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the war was finally over, Destri contemplated not going through with her plan. She was about to leave her home behind to rebuild without her, when they would need her the most. Likely, though, she was already written off as K.I.A., so she stayed true to her choice, and left New Tython to return to the Dajorra system with Arcona.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Amira Lux&#039;&#039;&#039;, a force-sensitive [[starwars: Kiffar|Kiffar]] female, is a highly intelligent master of disguise and manipulation, with connections in the galactic underworld. She is currently on the run from the [[starwars: Black Sun|Black Sun]] criminal syndicate and taking refuge within the [[starwars: Mandalorian|Mandalorians]] and mercenaries of Clan [[Vizsla]]. Lux has the ability to capture the past, present and future of objects and people, making her a very useful tool to Vizsla in being able to locate targets quickly. Her association with the [[Dark Brotherhood]] is relatively new, but she intends on learning as much from the organization as possible to further increase her chances of survival as she wages a private war against the Black Sun.&lt;br /&gt;

== An &amp;quot;Unremarkable Girl&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Birth of a Mundane ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At a time when the Jedi were few and far inbetween, two Force Users — Ellie and Jasper Corden — of no particular order, and not of the Light or Dark, settled upon New Tython in hopes to help bring new Force Sensitive life into the Galaxy. It was there that they were elated to discover that Ellie was with child. Jasper, having always wished to make his mark upon the Galaxy and the Jedi at large, thanked Ashla, but shortly after their daughter was born, they came to realize their wishes had not been granted. Their daughter, named Destri, was not gifted with the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellie and Jasper allowed anger into their hearts and directed it towards the only thing they could control: their daughter. For five years, they half-heartedly taught their mundane child while still attempting to bring a new life into the Force. Finally, during the time of the Battle of Yavin IV, their second daughter, Alexandria, was born.Very early on, it was apparent the she was gifted with the Force, and any remnants of love and care were stripped from Destri as Alexandria became the sole focus of their parents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through the years, Destri learned the common ways of life through family’s friends, though those of a Force Sensitive nature also gave her little to no help, causing her to have a deeply embedded distrust of their kind. Some even offered to teach her of their professions, some of military life, some of political. Destri clung dearly and quickly to the structure and discipline of the military life, so it was no surprised when she left home at seventeen to enlist with the [[Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force|K.U.D.F.]] that had arrived with the presence of a group of Jedi and allies known as Odan-Urr.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Military Genius ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DestriCorden.jpg|125px|thumb|left|Destri Corden]]&lt;br /&gt;
Straight out of her basic training, Destri proved to be a worthwhile strategist, having passed most of her tactics courses with flying colors and completing weapons training and general military knowledge. Primarily assigned to a strategic command, where she would assist in checking orders, offering insight and even proposing new naval troop movements herself, Private Corden did her best to find a purpose in her life. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, in the K.U.D.F., that Destri decided that nothing would ever stop her from achieving the goals she placed before herself. She would do her best in everything she attempted and never let anyone tell her that she could not achieve something. In her mind, she was being reborn in the fires of combat and discipline, and she would emerge a better person because of it.&lt;br /&gt;
In the years that followed, Destri continued to perform her job in the best possible fashion. Award and recognition were offered to her for her dedication and dutiful attitude, giving her the life purpose she so desired. It wasn’t until she was a Major and second in command of her strategic command unit, that she was approached by a Colonel Jericho Tannor. He briefly explained that he was part of the [[Tanduran and Dac Unified Commandos|T.D.U.C.]], and was sent to recruit Major Corden into their ranks. Destri saw this as another opportunity to further her goals and grow in both skill and discipline, thus she accepted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Elite Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For seven years, Destri worked with the T.U.D.C. under Jericho’s command. She primarily acted as their intelligence liaison and strategist, leaving most of the heavy hitting to the rest of the commandos, but when it came to crunch, she was able to keep up with the team when it counted. Over time, she learned about Jericho and his time in the military, mesmerized by  his war stories and achievements. Eventually, she became smitten and confided to him, explaining her past and her struggles through life, only being able to trust herself. He shared her feelings, giving Destri a shoulder to cry on, an ally in combat and eventually, a warm bed to share. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri and Jericho were inseparable. The more they worked together, the stronger their bond became. Everything the Colonel had to teach, the Major learned with the same excellence she had shown her entire career. Mission after mission, the TUDC team thwarted threats, relayed intelligence and continued performing their basic military duties until word of an impending invasion rang through the intelligence community. A group known as the Dark Brotherhood was threatening New Tython, primarily those of Odan-Urr, with horrifying power. A sect of them known as Arcona were the ones to initially invade the planet, and that is where Destri’s life changed forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Invasion of New Tython ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jericho had been called away, one of the few times Destri was not able to join him. Her team was too busy dealing with the initial attacks from Arcona for her to worry about the Colonel, but he was always on her mind. Only a few weeks into the invasion, however, Major Corden received word that the facility where Jericho was sent had been hit by orbital strikes, no word on survivors. In that moment, Destri’s world collapsed around her. The only person she truly cared for was gone and that left her with nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a panic, thinking she had nothing left to live for, the Major elected to serve on the frontlines, using her knowledge of the war to help the military thwart the Arcona forces. Her platoon quickly encountered a strong force of the Arcona military, leading to one of the bloodiest battles Destri had ever seen. Massive casualties eventually played out to a complete loss of life on both sides. Destri, however, knew how to hide and did so, surviving the onslaught.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the skills taught to her by Jericho, she stealthily dispatched the last few remaining Arcona soldiers, the last being a woman slightly older than her. Having lost her love, been neglected nearly her entire life from her family and having to fight for herself, Destri decided, then and there, that she would not remain on New Tython. Using the surrounding environment and the uniform of the woman she had killed, Destri impersonated Arcia Cortel, also a Major in the Dajorra Defense Force, apparently the military of Arcona. With previous knowledge of the enemy base location and some understanding of their workings, Destri infiltrated the Arcona F.O.B. and was accepted as the sole survivor of the engagement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new life was to begin for Destri. No longer would she be viewed upon with neglect and disdain. She would do what was necessary to survive and for her, running away to Arcona was her way of doing it. At first, it was hard to play a completely different person, especially one you didn’t know, but many of her attitude quirks seemed to have been in line with what was to be expected from Arcia. Any other issues were written off as psychological damage, having been the sole survivor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the war was finally over, Destri contemplated not going through with her plan. She was about to leave her home behind to rebuild without her, when they would need her the most. Likely, though, she was already written off as K.I.A., so she stayed true to her choice, and left New Tython to return to the Dajorra system with Arcona.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Vessel Info==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a heavily modified [[starwars:Agave-class picket|Agave-class Picket]]. It was commissioned by [[Clan Arcona]] in 37 ABY after the [[Dark Crusade]] to fill a very specific and unique role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It connects and directs the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency has at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] and the [[Dajorra Defence Force]]; only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces for joint operations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; and her crew spend long periods operating away from home, acting as [[Arcona|Arcona’s]] eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever come to be in a position to actually harm the Clan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some cases of reported threat, once orders have been received, the crew of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; are heavily trained in a vast manner of combat oriented skill sets to handle situations requiring immediate action, giving the Team the ability to respond swiftly and efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Characteristics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original [[starwars:Agave-class|Agave-class]] design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, in addition to the modified hull, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; possesses a [[starwars:Cloaking Device|Cloaking Device]], allowing it to move undetected through enemy space. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to host a small complement of support craft. Thus far, there are two [[starwars:Nu-class|Nu-class]] attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own [[starwars:Stealth-X fighter|Stealth-X fighter]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented [[starwars:Hyperdrive|Hyperdrive]], a dedicated [[starwars:Artificial Intelligence|AI computer]], a [[starwars:Turbolaser|Long Range Turbolaser]] designed to be fitted on a [[starwars:Destroyer|Destroyer]], and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; has been designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that [[Teroch]] wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some members of the crew hope that if the rumour is true it will be a communal one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck One===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:captain&#039;s cabin.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Captin&#039;s Cabin.]]At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, its own en-suite [[starwars:refresher|refresher]], and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added to this is a desk and [[starwars:computer terminal|terminal]], a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Two===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Command deck.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Command Station]]The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. At the nose of the craft is the [[starwars:cockpit|cockpit proper]], where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward [[starwars:airlock|airlock]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic display of the sector of space the ship is occupying, as well as a full three dimensional display of the ship. &lt;br /&gt;
Aft of the Command station is the [[starwars:turbolift|turbo lift]], which usually has a pair of marines standing guard either side of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the rear portion of the craft is a small but fully equipped laboratory on the starboard side, and on the port side is an intelligence/communications salo for handling both the large volume of communications as well as housing the encryption department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the far rear is the [[starwars:holonet transceiver|holonet transceiver]] for secure communications with [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] top echelons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Three===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Crew Quarters.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Habitation Deck.]]The habitation deck comprises the largest section of the craft. At the fore of the craft is the currently-empty housing for the LR turbolaser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the Port is the [[starwars:executive officer|XO&#039;s]] office and quarters, and to the starboard is the [[starwars:medical bay|Medical Bay]]. The rear section of the Medical Bay also provides access to the [[starwars:computer core|Computer Core]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the centre of the deck is the dining and recreation area, with numerous tables, chairs and repeater displays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rear portion of the ship is taken up with the crew barrack, refreshers and the two observation decks, both port and starboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Four===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nighthawk engeneering.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Nighthawk&#039;s Reactor on Engineering level.]]Housing the oversized [[starwars:reactor|Reactor]], Deck Four is dominated by &#039;Engineering.&#039; A custom-designed [[starwars:Hypermatter reactor|Hypermatter Reactor]] was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it&#039;s many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as [[starwars:Life Support|Life Support]] and the [[starwars:Shield Generators|Shield Generators]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Five===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AGV Nighthawk Hangar.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Nighthawk&#039;s Hangar.]]The lowest portion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; houses the [[starwars:Hangar|Hangar]] and the [[starwars:Armory|Armoury]]. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain&#039;s Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship&#039;s [[starwars:Quartermaster|Quartermaster]] oversees all supplies coming in and out of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it&#039;s not otherwise in use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modifications are what truly set the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; apart from every other ship in the galaxy. It was designed to be modular with a reactor far exceeding its base needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] military expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shotgun Hypertransciever===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Installed upon all Agave-class pickets, the shotgun Hypertranciever allows instantaneous and secure communications. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cloaking Device===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s primary form of defense is remaining undetected and whilst all Agave-class picket&#039;s stealth systems are formidable, the addition of a [[starwars:Stygium|Stygium]] Cloaking Device renders the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; undetectable to anything not equipped with a [[starwars:Crystal Gravfield Trap|Crystal Gravfield Trap]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia Cortel is a former operative of [[starwars:Imperial Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]], currently serving Clan [[Arcona]] as Captain of the [[AGV Nighthawk]] within House [[Galeres]], holding the rank of [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]]. With strong ties to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]] and certain members of the [[Arconae]], Arcia has sworn her loyalty in upholding their directives and ensuring safety of Clan Arcona and its members. Her past is littered with moral rises and falls through her various alignments, however she has recently  fully embraced her place within the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]] of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]]. She is an extremely capable strategist in both naval and ground warfare and has recently retired  from being an assassin, instead focusing on her ship’s crew and augmenting her martial combat with the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood (4ABY - 20ABY) ===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]], two officers of the [[starwars:Imperial Navy|Imperial Navy]], known as Jasper and Ellie Corden, brought new life into the galaxy. Their careers were at a point where early retirement was permitted, so they decided it was time to settle down with child. The couple relocated to Ellie’s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]], where she carried out the remainder of her pregnancy. After several months of peaceful living for Ellie and a professor’s billet at the Academy for Jasper, their daughter was born, whom they named Destri. The two former Imperial Officers took great joy in raising their little girl and teaching her the lessons of life they learned both as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Education for Destri came easily, as she had already been able to test out of much of her course study, being considered something of a savant at a young age. Several of her teachers recommended that she graduate early and a few others even went as far as sending her name and schooling portfolios to the [[starwars:Imperial Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters, who began to monitor her closely. Destri maintained her status as top of class at age sixteen and graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies in [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]]. She immediately sought to apply for the Imperial Academy, and due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor, was accepted only months after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the blessings of her parents and all that they taught her, Destri felt she was ready and knew what to expect from a life in the Imperial Navy. While en route to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. She recognized his status due to the armed guards trailing behind him, the sheer power that emanated from him, and the [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] he wore openly on his belt. The man locked eyes on her as he approached and halted before her, noticing her piercing gaze returned. Most would have averted their view, but she seemed to not be afraid; more intrigued. A wordless conversation quickly began and finished as each set of eyes sized the other, the girl’s eyes pausing on the Imperial Intelligence insignia, when the man chuckled aloud and patted Destri’s shoulder before moving on. Destri’s parents quickly hurried her away, saying she would miss her shuttle, but she knew they were afraid of the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] she had just given herself to in silence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life (20ABY - 27ABY) ===&lt;br /&gt;
Destri was prepared for what the [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] had to offer due to her upbringing and pre-schooling under former Imperial Officers. The coursework was demanding and the standard recruit could easily fail without the proper guidance. Destri, however, with her previous excellence in schooling, completed most of her initial training near the top of her class yet again. The older recruits did not take to a younger surpassing them and frequently displayed this through various acts of hazing that caused Destri to stop mingling during off hours. Due to the frequent quarrels, the instructors placed Destri as her training group’s squad leader for the duration of her stay, to see how the group would cope with one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The art of combat came to Destri very slowly and her squadmates would use it to their advantage. She did not have the physical prowess most others did, but where she lacked the strength to stand toe-to-toe, she made up with extraordinary reflexes that far surpassed the others. This combined with her sheer intelligence in most situations she was placed in continued to allow Destri to remain above the rest of her squad on most of the physical training exercises as well as standard coursework. Destri’s hard work came to fruition when her squad performed exercises for visiting officials, to which several of them began taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation with little to no time for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For two years, Destri trained at the Academy for her basic training as well as advanced schooling for signals analysis and covert infiltration for a means to erect communications devices behind enemy lines. With the training she was provided, Destri learned more on how the communications field worked as well as learning to blend in with her surroundings to remain hidden in crowded situations by taking on different personas. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri completed her initial and advanced training and was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant holding a desk oriented job. She fought tooth and nail to be re-evaluated and stationed in a more suitable role, but she eventually gave in and assisted handling the orders of various strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she was specifically trained on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lieutenant Corden’s disagreement with her assignment was widely known, but her ability to perform her abilities to the best were more recognizable. She made sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier’s reflected to be the best choice for each situation, proving that her attention to detail was uncanny. Even though she was rather vocal with her disagreements towards her placement, her superiors continued to inform her that the position was just a ‘foot in the door’ and she would eventually get the placement of her choice in due time. Come [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after a rather lengthy time serving in her distribution and analysis position as well as a promotion and the occasional award for outstanding service, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while in transit to her place of work on [[starwars:Bastion|Bastion]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DestriCorden.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Destri Corden, as seen in 25ABY]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two officers did not introduce themselves by name, only as ‘Commander’ and ‘Captain,’and informed Lieutenant-Commander Corden that they were both part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]]. Destri learned that she was being watched and reviewed since her first year in the Academy and everything she had accomplished in the Navy was recorded and recognized. After a short meeting, Corden was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence where she was briefed in full and reassigned to serve Imperial Intelligence as a critical communications and analysis officer on board the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;. With this transfer, she was also elevated to the rank of Captain, giving her weight to her position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for military occupation. She was selected for the role due to her intimate knowledge of many variations of communications devices, so she was also able to give the strike team experienced intel regarding any situations they would encounter. On the side, Captain Corden would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet transceivers in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Corden served prestigiously for another two years, creating more efficient ways of handling encrypted data and expanding her knowledge of various ships systems. During this time, she also continued to train physically to keep herself in the top percentage of physically fit crewman aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;. Throughout her career, her superiors and ship mates noticed that the Captain’s reactions, either in combat training or through use of ships systems, were unnatural. It was as if she was being driven by an unseen force which quickly caught the attention of the darker sides of the Empire. The attention she happened to grab, though, changed her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows (27ABY - 29ABY) ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Captain Corden’s official dossier, towards the end of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a classified mission with her strike team, which she began physically joining since mid 26ABY. Several investigations were launched in attempts to locate the Captain, but all were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted on both the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; and her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy. Both of her parents were in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a location still classified in all related files, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awakening from a drug induced coma. She was told that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as deceased and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for Imperial Intelligence as a covert operative. Corden was given advanced training in hand-to-hand combat through the art of [[Teras Kasi]] and furthered her linguistic ability to encompass several new languages. Initially only used for menial tasks, such as information retrieval and alteration, Destri quickly became adept in subterfuge. Her covert operations training, weapons use and communications espionage made her the perfect operative. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding the new position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the abilities to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. The implants replaced both of her eyes and were backed by highly resistant electromagnetic countermeasures to ensure her vision would not be disrupted by any means. A downside to the cybernetics, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, was that the implants quickly depleted energy. To counteract this, Destri commissioned specialized charging plates that would be attached to her temples and after a few short hours, the power supply would be fully charged and the secondary attachments would no longer be needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Operative X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Working under her new designation, Destri began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each of her jobs was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] known as Zeklynd Csularin, which just so happened to be the very same man she had encountered before leaving for the Academy all those years ago. Corden was unaware of this, however, as she was never informed that her accomplishments were being reviewed. A year in the field passed before she was approached directly by Zeklynd, who explained that during her missions, both as an Operative and Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special ‘influence’ to accomplish her goals. Destri knew that she was guided by some unseen force, but wasn’t aware of how or why.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sephren, the Sith Apprentice (29ABY - 32ABY) ===&lt;br /&gt;
Zeklynd educated Operative X02 that it was through the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] that she was able to manipulate others and her surroundings, and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then, knowing and sensing her potential, offered to take the woman under his tutelage and instruct her on more of the powers the Force and the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]] would give her. Without a seconds thought, Destri agreed. The Force, or what she knew of it up until this point, fascinated her as well as those who could control it. Now she was being given the opportunity to become something she praised. With their agreement set into the Force, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren took on many names over the next three years and come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], she had accomplished many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation and augmenting her own physical abilities to become even more with the shadows she frequently hid within. When Csularin deemed her ready, he hesitantly offered Sephren his old lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her future training and taught her the art of saber combat, choosing [[Vapaad]] as her form to emphasize her ability of speed and acrobatics. Sephren quickly grasped the use of a saber, though her hand me down began to not feel right in her hands. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw materials and heavy with the Dark Side so that she may craft a blade of her very own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ZeklyndCsularin.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith and Sephren’s only Master]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren travelled to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and created her first personalized lightsaber after traversing the tombs and barren deserts that populated the surface. She searched for some time until she found an old, unpowered altar that was once used for assisting students in the creation of their sabers. After disabling several droids and taking their power cores, she reactivated the altar, communed with the Dark Side and levitated the objects given to her by Zeklynd. Through telekinesis and her connection to the Force, the saber components slipped together with ease and as the crystal took to its resting place, the blade erupted from the hilt and hovered before the woman with its crimson red hue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she began her journey back to the ship Zeklynd supplied her, she was ambushed by a gang of Force practitioners that had lost their minds due to being present on Korriban for far too long. Without giving Sephren any time to explain, they lashed out at her, sabers drawn, forcing the woman to defend herself with her own newly crafted weapon. Sephren quickly used the training Zeklynd provided her and through use of Vapaad, the attackers could not keep up with her sheer agility and obscene acrobatics. In mere moments the mentally torn Sith were dispatched, leaving Sephren to return to her ship and depart the cursed world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Merely a few months passed from Sephren’s journey to Korriban before a mission arose that would alter her life forever. Paired with another Operative designated Alpha Nine, to which she had already accomplished several missions with in the past, they were to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The kicker was that none of the inhabitants spoke common languages. The mission was to be lengthy, being undercover for anywhere up to a year. Sephren silently questioned herself regarding the mission, as she had begun to feel attraction to Alpha Nine over the past several missions they had been paired up for. Vowing to not let her personal feelings get in the way, X02 assisted Alpha Nine in preparing new identities and setting up supplies to complete their mission successfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the pair set off on their mission, Sephren encountered a new person aboard Zeklynd’s personal cruiser known as the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;. The man was albino, his most distinguishable feature other than the white pigment being his blood red eyes that seemed to glow from within his hood. He introduced himself as Shi, a follower of the [[Krath]] practices. He explained that he was working with Zeklynd to locate ancient lore that could give insight to new powers. Sephren recognized the Krath’s level of Force adeptness, but didn’t trust his motives. Before departing the ship, Sephren warned her Master of the Krath, who simply dismissed her pleas, sending her off to complete the mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren and Alpha Nine had discovered a rudimentary language used throughout the habitation via monitoring of the communications satellites orbiting the planet and quickly adapted themselves to using the language on a day-to-day basis. This allowed their covers to be near perfect as they passed themselves off as technical specialists working on various systems of the installation. This allowed them to have near complete access to most of the facility and caused the mission to be completed almost without worry. After convincing an executive to allow them to test the server firewalls, they had their information and were done. Having only spent several months instead of the granted year time clock, Sephren and Alpha Nine decided to extend their stay on the beautiful planet as a sort of relaxing leave of absence. The two grew to become close to one another, knowing that their superiors would not take kindly to inter-agent relationships, but cared not for the fact and pursued their own personal connection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Approximately a fortnight prior to when the two were scheduled to return to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]], Alpha Nine, or Jericho as Sephren now knew him, simply vanished without word or sign of where he went. To her deep regret, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were corrupted; most likely by Jericho before he disappeared. Knowing that returning without the package and without her partner would result in severe reprimand, Sephren choked up the courage and returned to her superiors at the High Command. As expected, she was scorned and severely punished for her failure. She was barred from taking any further contracts with Imperial Intelligence indefinitely and removed from recognition as an Imperial Operative. To her dismay, Sephren attempted to look on the brighter side of things; she could now spend more time to study and train under Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After returning to the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, Sephren noticed that Shi was nowhere to be seen and Zeklynd frequently kept himself busy with ‘study.’ Sephren decided to keep to herself by practicing with her saber daily and honing her prowess of the Force through [[starwars:Meditation|meditation]]. It wasn’t until another few months passed when she began to notice that recent speculations of her body were apparent; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
THE REMAINING INFORMATION IS HEAVILY ENCRYPTED AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REVEALED. PLEASE STANDBY.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
Elequin Erinos is a Mandalorian Warrior selected from Arconas Mandalorian Clan for the Fade Initiative. She is an expert in Teras Kasi and the many skills required to be the perfect intelligence operative. Elequin currently serves as Arica Cortel’s personal secretary and close bodyguard&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mandalorian Soldier -- Fade Initiative - Operative #011 ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Physical Description ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elequin is shorter than most of her clan, but that doesn’t keep her from being just as dangerous. Where her height and weight put her at a disadvantage, her near mastery of the art of Teras Kasi shoots her straight back towards the top. When not in full Mandalorian armor, Elequin, or ‘El’ as she is also known by, wears simple black slacks, a white undershirt and a cropped black jacket. Her brown hair falls just shy of her jaw line and isn’t style in any particular fashion. Blue eyes are visible behind her frequently worn spectacles that assist her in pretty much nothing, they’re just for show. In this dress, only her face, neck and arms are visible showing her lightly tanned skin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elequin’s Mandalorian armor is an intricate construction of black and blue plates and mesh, strategically positions to give her the most mobility possible. On her right arm, an advanced data pad is mounted giving her access to a variety of communications and recon data. Strapped to her sides are twin blasters that she rarely uses, but thinks they look cool enough to have the general knowledge of how to use them in most situations. On her left shoulder panel, the Erinos Clan emblem is acid etched with the Arconan symbol beneath it. Her right shoulder is an elongated, flexible armor plate that gives her suit a bit of flair and is etched with the numbers ‘011.’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== History ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Elequin’s extensive background in Intel, she’s learned to cover her tracks rather well, so most of her dossier is empty. It is known that before joining the Fade Initiative and being inducted into the Erinos Clan, she frequented the underworld of her home, Nar Shaddaa and picked up on many of the traits she uses today. Living on the streets gave her a cocky, flirting attitude towards anyone she meets, no matter the gender, and also taught her how to keep out of trouble either through steering clear, or using Teras Kasi, which her skill was taught to her by her father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she had nothing more to learn from Nar Shaddaa, Elequin left the moon and drifted the galaxy, taking on a bounty here, a recon request there, until she managed to find her way into a well thought out trap. It seemed that several of the pirate bounties she turned in had managed to escape and hatched a plan of their own to capture her. She was beaten and imprisoned, only after killing three of her captors in the process, before the AGV Nighthawk managed to decrypt a series of messages sent from the pirate fleet. The Nighthawk relayed the messages to the DIA which quickly dispatched a fleet to destroy the potential invaders. Elequin was found, rescued, and offered a place within the Erinos Clan after they discovered what she was capable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elequin doesn’t speak of her initiation, but is proud to wear the emblem of the Erinos Clan and serve her charge to the best of her abilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Personality ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elequin can be viewed as a headstrong, cocky, straight sassy girl. She loves to flirt and has no shame in saying what’s on her mind. She is frequently berated by Arcia when in gatherings, but only takes that as another challenge to come up with something worse the next time around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elequin has pure dedication to her charge and will stop at nothing to ensure the safety of Arcia, even if it requires harm to herself or even her life. This is due to a connection between the two that neither have spoken of in public.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Combat Specialization ====&lt;br /&gt;
====Intel====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elequin is a wiz in the intelligence field. She is able to gather an amazing variety of information on nearly any topic when assigned to a mission. With a basic understanding of slicing, though not enough to warrant recognition, Elequin has been called on time and time again to retrieve valuable information for both the Erinos Clan and the Dajorra Intelligence Agency via her connections through Arcia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Martial Arts====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elequin has dedicated a lot of her time to perfecting and continuing to master the art of Teras Kasi. In single hand to hand combat, she is a deadly force to be reckoned with. Within the Erinos Clan, she is frequently used as a sparring partner to keep the other Mandalorians trained up on their choice of martial skill.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia Cortel is a former operative of [[starwars:Imperial Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]], currently serving Clan [[Arcona]] as Captain of the [[AGV Nighthawk]] within House [[Galeres]], holding the rank of [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]]. With strong ties to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]] and certain members of the [[Arconae]], Arcia has sworn her loyalty in upholding their directives and ensuring safety of Clan Arcona and its members. Her past is littered with moral rises and falls through her various alignments, however she has recently  fully embraced her place within the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]] of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]]. She is an extremely capable strategist in both naval and ground warfare and has recently retired  from being an assassin, instead focusing on her ship’s crew and augmenting her martial combat with the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood (4ABY - 20ABY) ===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]], two officers of the [[starwars:Imperial Navy|Imperial Navy]], known as Jasper and Ellie Corden, brought new life into the galaxy. Their careers were at a point where early retirement was permitted, so they decided it was time to settle down with child. The couple relocated to Ellie’s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]], where she carried out the remainder of her pregnancy. After several months of peaceful living for Ellie and a professor’s billet at the Academy for Jasper, their daughter was born, whom they named Destri. The two former Imperial Officers took great joy in raising their little girl and teaching her the lessons of life they learned both as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Education for Destri came easily, as she had already been able to test out of much of her course study, being considered something of a savant at a young age. Several of her teachers recommended that she graduate early and a few others even went as far as sending her name and schooling portfolios to the [[starwars:Imperial Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters, who began to monitor her closely. Destri maintained her status as top of class at age sixteen and graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies in [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]]. She immediately sought to apply for the Imperial Academy, and due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor, was accepted only months after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the blessings of her parents and all that they taught her, Destri felt she was ready and knew what to expect from a life in the Imperial Navy. While en route to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. She recognized his status due to the armed guards trailing behind him, the sheer power that emanated from him, and the [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] he wore openly on his belt. The man locked eyes on her as he approached and halted before her, noticing her piercing gaze returned. Most would have averted their view, but she seemed to not be afraid; more intrigued. A wordless conversation quickly began and finished as each set of eyes sized the other, the girl’s eyes pausing on the Imperial Intelligence insignia, when the man chuckled aloud and patted Destri’s shoulder before moving on. Destri’s parents quickly hurried her away, saying she would miss her shuttle, but she knew they were afraid of the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] she had just given herself to in silence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life (20ABY - 27ABY) ===&lt;br /&gt;
Destri was prepared for what the [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] had to offer due to her upbringing and pre-schooling under former Imperial Officers. The coursework was demanding and the standard recruit could easily fail without the proper guidance. Destri, however, with her previous excellence in schooling, completed most of her initial training near the top of her class yet again. The older recruits did not take to a younger surpassing them and frequently displayed this through various acts of hazing that caused Destri to stop mingling during off hours. Due to the frequent quarrels, the instructors placed Destri as her training group’s squad leader for the duration of her stay, to see how the group would cope with one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The art of combat came to Destri very slowly and her squadmates would use it to their advantage. She did not have the physical prowess most others did, but where she lacked the strength to stand toe-to-toe, she made up with extraordinary reflexes that far surpassed the others. This combined with her sheer intelligence in most situations she was placed in continued to allow Destri to remain above the rest of her squad on most of the physical training exercises as well as standard coursework. Destri’s hard work came to fruition when her squad performed exercises for visiting officials, to which several of them began taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation with little to no time for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For two years, Destri trained at the Academy for her basic training as well as advanced schooling for signals analysis and covert infiltration for a means to erect communications devices behind enemy lines. With the training she was provided, Destri learned more on how the communications field worked as well as learning to blend in with her surroundings to remain hidden in crowded situations by taking on different personas. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri completed her initial and advanced training and was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant holding a desk oriented job. She fought tooth and nail to be re-evaluated and stationed in a more suitable role, but she eventually gave in and assisted handling the orders of various strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she was specifically trained on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lieutenant Corden’s disagreement with her assignment was widely known, but her ability to perform her abilities to the best were more recognizable. She made sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier’s reflected to be the best choice for each situation, proving that her attention to detail was uncanny. Even though she was rather vocal with her disagreements towards her placement, her superiors continued to inform her that the position was just a ‘foot in the door’ and she would eventually get the placement of her choice in due time. Come [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after a rather lengthy time serving in her distribution and analysis position as well as a promotion and the occasional award for outstanding service, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while in transit to her place of work on [[starwars:Bastion|Bastion]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DestriCorden.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Destri Corden, as seen in 25ABY]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two officers did not introduce themselves by name, only as ‘Commander’ and ‘Captain,’and informed Lieutenant-Commander Corden that they were both part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]]. Destri learned that she was being watched and reviewed since her first year in the Academy and everything she had accomplished in the Navy was recorded and recognized. After a short meeting, Corden was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence where she was briefed in full and reassigned to serve Imperial Intelligence as a critical communications and analysis officer onboard the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;. With this transfer, she was also elevated to the rank of Captain, giving her weight to her position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for military occupation. She was selected for the role due to her intimate knowledge of many variations of communications devices, so she was also able to give the strike team experienced intel regarding any situations they would encounter. On the side, Captain Corden would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet transceivers in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Corden served prestigiously for another two years, creating more efficient ways of handling encrypted data and expanding her knowledge of various ships systems. During this time, she also continued to train physically to keep herself in the top percentage of physically fit crewman aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;. Throughout her career, her superiors and ship mates noticed that the Captain’s reactions, either in combat training or through use of ships systems, were unnatural. It was as if she was being driven by an unseen force which quickly caught the attention of the darker sides of the Empire. The attention she happened to grab, though, changed her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows (27ABY - 29ABY) ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Captain Corden’s official dossier, towards the end of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a classified mission with her strike team, which she began physically joining since mid 26ABY. Several investigations were launched in attempts to locate the Captain, but all were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted on both the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; and her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy. Both of her parents were in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a location still classified in all related files, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awakening from a drug induced coma. She was told that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as deceased and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for Imperial Intelligence as a covert operative. Corden was given advanced training in hand to hand combat through the art of [[Teras Kasi]] and furthered her linguistic ability to encompass several new languages. Initially only used for menial tasks, such as information retrieval and alteration, Destri quickly became adept in subterfuge. Her covert operations training, weapons use and communications espionage made her the perfect operative. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding the new position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the abilities to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. The implants replaced both of her eyes and were backed by highly resistant electromagnetic countermeasures to ensure her vision would not be disrupted by any means. A downside to the cybernetics, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, was that the implants quickly depleted energy. To counteract this, Destri commissioned specialized charging plates that would be attached to her temples and after a few short hours, the power supply would be fully charged and the secondary attachments would no longer be needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Operative X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Working under her new designation, Destri began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each of her jobs was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] known as Zeklynd Csularin, which just so happened to be the very same man she had encountered before leaving for the Academy all those years ago. Corden was unaware of this, however, as she was never informed that her accomplishments were being reviewed. A year in the field passed before she was approached directly by Zeklynd, who explained that during her missions, both as an Operative and Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special ‘influence’ to accomplish her goals. Destri knew that she was guided by some unseen force, but wasn’t aware of how or why.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sephren, the Sith Apprentice (29ABY - 32ABY) ===&lt;br /&gt;
Zeklynd educated Operative X02 that it was through the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] that she was able to manipulate others and her surroundings, and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then, knowing and sensing her potential, offered to take the woman under his tutelage and instruct her on more of the powers the Force and the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]] would give her. Without a seconds thought, Destri agreed. The Force, or what she knew of it up until this point, fascinated her as well as those who could control it. Now she was being given the opportunity to become something she praised. With their agreement set into the Force, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren took on many names over the next three years and come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], she had accomplished many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation and augmenting her own physical abilities to become even more with the shadows she frequently hid within. When Csularin deemed her ready, he hesitantly offered Sephren his old lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her future training and taught her the art of saber combat, choosing [[Vapaad]] as her form to emphasize her ability of speed and acrobatics. Sephren quickly grasped the use of a saber, though her hand me down began to not feel right in her hands. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw materials and heavy with the Dark Side so that she may craft a blade of her very own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ZeklyndCsularin.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith and Sephren’s only Master]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren travelled to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and created her first personalized lightsaber after traversing the tombs and barren deserts that populated the surface. She searched for some time until she found an old, unpowered altar that was once used for assisting students in the creation of their sabers. After disabling several droids and taking their power cores, she reactivated the altar, communed with the Dark Side and levitated the objects given to her by Zeklynd. Through telekinesis and her connection to the Force, the saber components slipped together with ease and as the crystal took to its resting place, the blade erupted from the hilt and hovered before the woman with its crimson red hue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she began her journey back to the ship Zeklynd supplied her, she was ambushed by a gang of Force practitioners that had lost their minds due to being present on Korriban for far too long. Without giving Sephren any time to explain, they lashed out at her, sabers drawn, forcing the woman to defend herself with her own newly crafted weapon. Sephren quickly used the training Zeklynd provided her and through use of Vapaad, the attackers could not keep up with her sheer agility and obscene acrobatics. In mere moments the mentally torn Sith were dispatched, leaving Sephren to return to her ship and depart the cursed world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Merely a few months passed from Sephren’s journey to Korriban before a mission arose that would alter her life forever. Paired with another Operative designated Alpha Nine, to which she had already accomplished several missions with in the past, they were to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The kicker was that none of the inhabitants spoke common languages. The mission was to be lengthy, being undercover for anywhere up to a year. Sephren silently questioned herself regarding the mission, as she had begun to feel attraction to Alpha Nine over the past several missions they had been paired up for. Vowing to not let her personal feelings get in the way, X02 assisted Alpha Nine in preparing new identities and setting up supplies to complete their mission successfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the pair set off on their mission, Sephren encountered a new person aboard Zeklynd’s personal cruiser known as the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;. The man was albino, his most distinguishable feature other than the white pigment being his blood red eyes that seemed to glow from within his hood. He introduced himself as Shi, a follower of the [[Krath]] practices. He explained that he was working with Zeklynd to locate ancient lore that could give insight to new powers. Sephren recognized the Krath’s level of Force adeptness, but didn’t trust his motives. Before departing the ship, Sephren warned her Master of the Krath, who simply dismissed her pleas, sending her off to complete the mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren and Alpha Nine had discovered a rudimentary language used throughout the habitation via monitoring of the communications satellites orbiting the planet and quickly adapted themselves to using the language on a day to day basis. This allowed their covers to be near perfect as they passed themselves off as technical specialists working on various systems of the installation. This allowed them to have near complete access to most of the facility and caused the mission to be completed almost without worry. After convincing an executive to allow them to test the server firewalls, they had their information and were done. Having only spent several months instead of the granted year time clock, Sephren and Alpha Nine decided to extend their stay on the beautiful planet as a sort of relaxing leave of absence. The two grew to become close to one another, knowing that their superiors would not take kindly to inter-agent relationships, but cared not for the fact and pursued their own personal connection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Approximately a fortnight prior to when the two were scheduled to return to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]], Alpha Nine, or Jericho as Sephren now knew him, simply vanished without word or sign of where he went. To her deep regret, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were corrupted; most likely by Jericho before he disappeared. Knowing that returning without the package and without her partner would result in severe reprimand, Sephren choked up the courage and returned to her superiors at the High Command. As expected, she was scorned and severely punished for her failure. She was barred from taking any further contracts with Imperial Intelligence indefinitely and removed from recognition as an Imperial Operative. To her dismay, Sephren attempted to look on the brighter side of things; she could now spend more time to study and train under Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After returning to the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, Sephren noticed that Shi was nowhere to be seen and Zeklynd frequently kept himself busy with ‘study.’ Sephren decided to keep to herself by practicing with her saber daily and honing her prowess of the Force through [[starwars:Meditation|meditation]]. It wasn’t until another few months passed when she began to notice that recent speculations of her body were apparent; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
‘’’Gryden Carr’’’ is the Flight Deck Chief of the [[AGV Nighthawk]]. He is considered to be one of the best spacecraft mechanics in the fleet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Gryden Carr was born in 10 ABY in the suburbs of Celeste. His father was one of the best mechanics on [[Selen]]. The members of the High Society of Celeste all brought their speeders to his father’s shop. His mother was a drunken gambler who constantly berated Gryden’s father for not charging people more for his services. Gryden helped his father at the shop and proved to be an excellent mechanic in his own right. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AGV-Nighthawk.jpg|150px|thumb|left|AGV Nighthawk]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Gryden turned 17, his father bought him a home in the suburbs two streets from his family home. The gift came as a surprise because Gryden had never thought of his father as a wealthy man. His father was grooming him to take over the family business and explained that the shop brought in much more money than Gryden’s mother knew because she would have spent the family fortune and Gryden’s inheritance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gryden continued to work at his father’s shop until the Vong attack on Selen. In the aftermath of the initial attack he joined the [[Arconan Armed Forces|AAF]] and became a spacecraft mechanic to the dismay of his father who is a staunch pacifist. He worked his way up through the ranks and is now the Flight Deck Chief aboard the [[AGV Nighthawk]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gryden takes his work very seriously. He holds to military tradition and is extremely loyal to his unit. A pilot had better respect his ships and if they don’t he isn’t afraid to put higher ranking officers on report. His father has all but broken ties completely because of his choice to join the [[Arconan Armed Forces|AAF]]. Gryden spends his spare time reading technical manuals and gathering as much information as he can about small ships. &lt;br /&gt;

==Vessel Info==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a heavily modified [[starwars:Agave-class picket|Agave-class Picket]]. It was commissioned by [[Clan Arcona]] in 37 ABY after the [[Dark Crusade]] to fill a very specific and unique role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It connects and directs the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency has at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] and the [[Dajorra Defence Force]]; only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces for joint operations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; and her crew spend long periods operating away from home, acting as [[Arcona|Arcona’s]] eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever come to be in a position to actually harm the Clan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some cases of reported threat, once orders have been received, the crew of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; are heavily trained in a vast manner of combat oriented skill sets to handle situations requiring immediate action, giving the Team the ability to respond swiftly and efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Characteristics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original [[starwars:Agave-class|Agave-class]] design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, in addition to the modified hull, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; possesses a [[starwars:Cloaking Device|Cloaking Device]], allowing it to move undetected through enemy space. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to host a small complement of support craft. Thus far, there are two [[starwars:Nu-class|Nu-class]] attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own [[starwars:Stealth-X fighter|Stealth-X fighter]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented [[starwars:Hyperdrive|Hyperdrive]], a dedicated [[starwars:Artificial Intelligence|AI computer]], a [[starwars:Turbolaser|Long Range Turbolaser]] designed to be fitted on a [[starwars:Destroyer|Destroyer]], and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; has been designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that [[Teroch]] wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some members of the crew hope that if the rumour is true it will be a communal one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck One===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:captain&#039;s cabin.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Captin&#039;s Cabin.]]At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, it’s own en-suite [[starwars:refresher|refresher]], and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added to this is a desk and [[starwars:computer terminal|terminal]], a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Two===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Command deck.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Command Station]]The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. At the nose of the craft is the [[starwars:cockpit|cockpit proper]], where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward [[starwars:airlock|airlock]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic display of the sector of space the ship is occupying, as well as a full three dimensional display of the ship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aft of the Command station is the [[starwars:turbolift|turbo lift]], which usually has a pair of marines standing guard either side of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the rear portion of the craft is a small but fully equipped laboratory on the starboard side, and on the port side is an intelligence/communications salo for handling both the large volume of communications as well as housing the encryption department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the far rear is the [[starwars:holonet transceiver|holonet transceiver]] for secure communications with [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] top echelons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Three===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Crew Quarters.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Habitation Deck.]]The habitation deck comprises the largest section of the craft. At the fore of the craft is the currently-empty housing for the LR turbolaser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the Port is the [[starwars:executive officer|XO&#039;s]] office and quarters, and to the starboard is the [[starwars:medical bay|Medical Bay]]. The rear section of the Medical Bay also provides access to the [[starwars:computer core|Computer Core]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the centre of the deck is the dining and recreation area, with numerous tables, chairs and repeater displays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rear portion of the ship is taken up with the crew barrack, refreshers and the two observation decks, both port and starboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Four===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nighthawk engeneering.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Nighthawk&#039;s Reactor on Engineering level.]]Housing the oversized [[starwars:reactor|Reactor]], Deck Four is dominated by &#039;Engineering.&#039; A custom-designed [[starwars:Hypermatter reactor|Hypermatter Reactor]] was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it&#039;s many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as [[starwars:Life Support|Life Support]] and the [[starwars:Shield Generators|Shield Generators]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Five===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AGV Nighthawk Hangar.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Nighthawk&#039;s Hangar.]]The lowest portion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; houses the [[starwars:Hangar|Hangar]] and the [[starwars:Armory|Armoury]]. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain&#039;s Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship&#039;s [[starwars:Quartermaster|Quartermaster]] oversees all supplies coming in and out of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it&#039;s not otherwise in use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modifications are what truly set the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; apart from every other ship in the galaxy. It was designed to be modular with a reactor far exceeding its base needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] military expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shotgun Hypertransciever===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Installed upon all Agave-class pickets, the shotgun Hypertranciever allows instantaneous and secure communications. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cloaking Device===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s primary form of defense is remaining undetected and whilst all Agave-class picket&#039;s stealth systems are formidable, the addition of a [[starwars:Stygium|Stygium]] Cloaking Device renders the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; undetectable to anything not equipped with a [[starwars:Crystal Gravfield Trap|Crystal Gravfield Trap]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Vessel Info==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a heavily modified [[starwars:Agave-class picket|Agave-class Picket]]. It was commissioned by [[Clan Arcona]] in 37 ABY after the [[Dark Crusade]] to fill a very specific and unique role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It connects and directs the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency has at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] and the [[Dajorra Defence Force]]; only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces for joint operations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; and her crew spend long periods operating away from home, acting as [[Arcona|Arcona’s]] eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever come to be in a position to actually harm the Clan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some cases of reported threat, once orders have been received, the crew of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; are heavily trained in a vast manner of combat oriented skill sets to handle situations requiring immediate action, giving the Team the ability to respond swiftly and efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Characteristics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original [[starwars:Agave-class|Agave-class]] design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, in addition to the modified hull, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; possesses a [[starwars:Cloaking Device|Cloaking Device]], allowing it to move undetected through enemy space. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to host a small complement of support craft. Thus far, there are two [[starwars:Nu-class|Nu-class]] attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own [[starwars:Stealth-X fighter|Stealth-X fighter]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented [[starwars:Hyperdrive|Hyperdrive]], a dedicated [[starwars:Artificial Intelligence|AI computer]], a [[starwars:Turbolaser|Long Range Turbolaser]] designed to be fitted on a [[starwars:Destroyer|Destroyer]], and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; has been designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that [[Teroch]] wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some members of the crew hope that if the rumour is true it will be a communal one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck One===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:captain&#039;s cabin.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Captin&#039;s Cabin.]]At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, it’s own en-suite [[starwars:refresher|refresher]], and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added to this is a desk and [[starwars:computer terminal|terminal]], a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Two===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Command deck.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Command Station]]The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. At the nose of the craft is the [[starwars:cockpit|cockpit proper]], where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward [[starwars:airlock|airlock]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic display of the sector of space the ship is occupying, as well as a full three dimensional display of the ship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aft of the Command station is the [[starwars:turbolift|turbo lift]], which usually has a pair of marines standing guard either side of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the rear portion of the craft is a small but fully equipped laboratory on the starboard side, and on the port side is an intelligence/communications salo for handling both the large volume of communications as well as housing the encryption department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the far rear is the [[starwars:holonet transceiver|holonet transceiver]] for secure communications with [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] top echelons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Three===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Crew Quarters.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Habitation Deck.]]The habitation deck comprises the largest section of the craft. At the fore of the craft is the currently-empty housing for the LR turbolaser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the Port is the [[starwars:executive officer|XO&#039;s]] office and quarters, and to the starboard is the [[starwars:medical bay|Medical Bay]]. The rear section of the Medical Bay also provides access to the [[starwars:computer core|Computer Core]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the centre of the deck is the dining and recreation area, with numerous tables, chairs and repeater displays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rear portion of the ship is taken up with the crew barrack, refreshers and the two observation decks, both port and starboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Four===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nighthawk engeneering.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Nighthawk&#039;s Reactor on Engineering level.]]Housing the oversized [[starwars:reactor|Reactor]], Deck Four is dominated by &#039;Engineering.&#039; A custom-designed [[starwars:Hypermatter reactor|Hypermatter Reactor]] was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it&#039;s many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as [[starwars:Life Support|Life Support]] and the [[starwars:Shield Generators|Shield Generators]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Five===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AGV Nighthawk Hangar.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Nighthawk&#039;s Hangar.]]The lowest portion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; houses the [[starwars:Hangar|Hangar]] and the [[starwars:Armory|Armoury]]. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain&#039;s Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship&#039;s [[starwars:Quartermaster|Quartermaster]] oversees all supplies coming in and out of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it&#039;s not otherwise in use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modifications are what truly set the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; apart from every other ship in the galaxy. It was designed to be modular with a reactor far exceeding its base needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] military expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shotgun Hypertransciever===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Installed upon all Agave-class pickets, the shotgun Hypertranciever allows instantaneous and secure communications. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work. &lt;br /&gt;

A new initiative from the [[Dajorra_Intelligence_Agency|DIA]], the Nighthawk acts as the Shadow Lord’s eyes and ears, co-ordinating the far-flung spies, informants and agents of the Dajorra Intelligence Agency. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Members of [[Arcona]] are chosen because of their unique skill sets and loyalty to form the basis of a team that reaches far into the depths of space.

&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The basic uniform worn by all non-security personnel is one comprised of flexible, breathable material blends to enable comfort and ease of movement. From day-to-day onboard activities, the uniform consists of under-armour that settles like a second skin, knee length combat boots and a tunic. The under-armor stabilises body temperature through the breathability of the material as well as having enough elasticity to stay fitted to shape whilst maintaining normal movement. The tunics are fitted to each member, are armless and come to the waist. They are usually trimmed with a colour specific to their station:&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The combat uniform is the norm for all Security personnel and utilises the Peacekeeper attire in burgundy. It is also used by any crew members entering a combat scenario and has a few features to be decided upon in personal taste. Other than the colour, there is a choice between a simplistic flak jacket and short sleeved shirt or a long sleeved jacket in a similar fashion. There are multiple belts across the breast of the jacket and utility pockets may be attached. The pants worn are dark and pinstriped and are finished off with a pair of dark boots. There is also the option of having a dark trench coat in addition to any other choices.&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

There is also the option of having a dark trench coat in addition to any other choices.&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

==Vessel Info==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a heavily modified [[starwars:Agave-class picket|Agave-class Picket]]. It was commissioned by [[Clan Arcona]] in 37 ABY after the [[Dark Crusade]] to fill a very specific and unique role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It connects and directs the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency has at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] and the [[Dajorra Defence Force]]; only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces for joint operations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; and her crew spend long periods operating away from home, acting as [[Arcona|Arcona’s]] eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever come to be in a position to actually harm the Clan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some cases of reported threat, once orders have been received, the crew of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; are heavily trained in a vast manner of combat oriented skill sets to handle situations requiring immediate action, giving the Team the ability to respond swiftly and efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Characteristics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original [[starwars:Agave-class|Agave-class]] design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, in addition to the modified hull, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; possesses a [[starwars:Cloaking Device|Cloaking Device]], allowing it to move undetected through enemy space. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to host a small complement of support craft. Thus far, there are two [[starwars:Nu-class|Nu-class]] attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own [[starwars:Stealth-X fighter|Stealth-X fighter]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented [[starwars:Hyperdrive|Hyperdrive]], a dedicated [[starwars:Artificial Intelligence|AI computer]], a [[starwars:Turbolaser|Long Range Turbolaser]] designed to be fitted on a [[starwars:Destroyer|Destroyer]], and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; has been designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that [[Teroch]] wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some members of the crew hope that if the rumour is true it will be a communal one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck One===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:captain&#039;s cabin.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Captin&#039;s Cabin.]]At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, it’s own en-suite [[starwars:refresher|refresher]], and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added to this is a desk and [[starwars:computer terminal|terminal]], a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Two===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Command deck.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Command Station]]The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. At the nose of the craft is the [[starwars:cockpit|cockpit proper]], where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward [[starwars:airlock|airlock]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic display of the sector of space the ship is occupying, as well as a full three dimensional display of the ship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aft of the Command station is the [[starwars:turbolift|turbo lift]], which usually has a pair of marines standing guard either side of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the rear portion of the craft is a small but fully equipped laboratory on the starboard side, and on the port side is an intelligence/communications salo for handling both the large volume of communications as well as housing the encryption department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the far rear is the [[starwars:holonet transceiver|holonet transceiver]] for secure communications with [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] top echelons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Three===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Crew Quarters.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Habitation Deck.]]The habitation deck comprises the largest section of the craft. At the fore of the craft is the currently-empty housing for the LR turbolaser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the Port is the [[starwars:executive officer|XO&#039;s]] office and quarters, and to the starboard is the [[starwars:medical bay|Medical Bay]]. The rear section of the Medical Bay also provides access to the [[starwars:computer core|Computer Core]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the centre of the deck is the dining and recreation area, with numerous tables, chairs and repeater displays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rear portion of the ship is taken up with the crew barrack, refreshers and the two observation decks, both port and starboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Four===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nighthawk engeneering.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Nighthawk&#039;s Reactor on Engineering level.]]Housing the oversized [[starwars:reactor|Reactor]], Deck Four is dominated by &#039;Engineering.&#039; A custom-designed [[starwars:Hypermatter reactor|Hypermatter Reactor]] was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it&#039;s many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as [[starwars:Life Support|Life Support]] and the [[starwars:Shield Generators|Shield Generators]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Five===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AGV Nighthawk Hangar.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Nighthawk&#039;s Hangar.]]The lowest portion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; houses the [[starwars:Hangar|Hangar]] and the [[starwars:Armory|Armoury]]. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain&#039;s Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship&#039;s [[starwars:Quartermaster|Quartermaster]] oversees all supplies coming in and out of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it&#039;s not otherwise in use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modifications are what truly set the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; apart from every other ship in the galaxy. It was designed to be modular with a reactor far exceeding its base needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] military expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shotgun Hypertransciever===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Installed upon all Agave-class pickets, the shotgun Hypertranciever allows instantaneous and secure communications. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cloaking Device===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s primary form of defense is remaining undetected and whilst all Agave-class picket&#039;s stealth systems are formidable, the addition of a [[starwars:Stygium|Stygium]] Cloaking Device renders the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; undetectable to anything not equipped with a [[starwars:Crystal Gravfield Trap|Crystal Gravfield Trap]].&lt;br /&gt;

Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to host a small complement of support craft. Thus far, there are two [[starwars:Nu-class|Nu-class]] attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own [[starwars:Stealth-X fighter|Stealth-X fighter]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented [[starwars:Hyperdrive|Hyperdrive]], a dedicated [[starwars:Artificial Intelligence|AI computer]], a [[starwars:Turbolaser|Long Range Turbolaser]] designed to be fitted on a [[starwars:Destroyer|Destroyer]], and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; has been designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that [[Teroch]] wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some members of the crew hope that if the rumour is true it will be a communal one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck One===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:captain&#039;s cabin.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Captin&#039;s Cabin.]]At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, it’s own en-suite [[starwars:refresher|refresher]], and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added to this is a desk and [[starwars:computer terminal|terminal]], a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Two===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Command deck.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Command Station]]The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. At the nose of the craft is the [[starwars:cockpit|cockpit proper]], where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward [[starwars:airlock|airlock]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic display of the sector of space the ship is occupying, as well as a full three dimensional display of the ship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aft of the Command station is the [[starwars:turbolift|turbo lift]], which usually has a pair of marines standing guard either side of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the rear portion of the craft is a small but fully equipped laboratory on the starboard side, and on the port side is an intelligence/communications salo for handling both the large volume of communications as well as housing the encryption department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the far rear is the [[starwars:holonet transceiver|holonet transceiver]] for secure communications with [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] top echelons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Three===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Crew Quarters.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Habitation Deck.]]The habitation deck comprises the largest section of the craft. At the fore of the craft is the currently-empty housing for the LR turbolaser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the Port is the [[starwars:executive officer|XO&#039;s]] office and quarters, and to the starboard is the [[starwars:medical bay|Medical Bay]]. The rear section of the Medical Bay also provides access to the [[starwars:computer core|Computer Core]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the centre of the deck is the dining and recreation area, with numerous tables, chairs and repeater displays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rear portion of the ship is taken up with the crew barrack, refreshers and the two observation decks, both port and starboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Four===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nighthawk engeneering.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Nighthawk&#039;s Reactor on Engineering level.]]Housing the oversized [[starwars:reactor|Reactor]], Deck Four is dominated by &#039;Engineering.&#039; A custom-designed [[starwars:Hypermatter reactor|Hypermatter Reactor]] was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it&#039;s many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as [[starwars:Life Support|Life Support]] and the [[starwars:Shield Generators|Shield Generators]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Five===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AGV Nighthawk Hangar.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Nighthawk&#039;s Hangar.]]The lowest portion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; houses the [[starwars:Hangar|Hangar]] and the [[starwars:Armory|Armoury]]. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain&#039;s Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship&#039;s [[starwars:Quartermaster|Quartermaster]] oversees all supplies coming in and out of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it&#039;s not otherwise in use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modifications are what truly set the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; apart from every other ship in the galaxy. It was designed to be modular with a reactor far exceeding its base needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] military expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shotgun Hypertransciever===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Installed upon all Agave-class pickets, the shotgun Hypertranciever allows instantaneous and secure communications. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cloaking Device===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s primary form of defense is remaining undetected and whilst all Agave-class picket&#039;s stealth systems are formidable, the addition of a [[starwars:Stygium|Stygium]] Cloaking Device renders the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; undetectable to anything not equipped with a [[starwars:Crystal Gravfield Trap|Crystal Gravfield Trap]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Vessel Info==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a heavily modified [[starwars:Agave-class picket|Agave-class Picket]]. It was commissioned by [[Clan Arcona]] in 37 ABY after the [[Dark Crusade]] to fill a very specific and unique role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It connects and directs the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency has at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] and the [[Dajorra Defence Force]]; only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces for joint operations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; and her crew spend long periods operating away from home, acting as [[Arcona|Arcona’s]] eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever come to be in a position to actually harm the Clan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some cases of reported threat, once orders have been received, the crew of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; are heavily trained in a vast manner of combat oriented skill sets to handle situations requiring immediate action, giving the Team the ability to respond swiftly and efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Characteristics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original [[starwars:Agave-class|Agave-class]] design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, in addition to the modified hull, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; possesses a [[starwars:Cloaking Device|Cloaking Device]], allowing it to move undetected through enemy space. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to host a small complement of support craft. Thus far, there are two [[starwars:Nu-class|Nu-class]] attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own [[starwars:Stealth-X fighter|Stealth-X fighter]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented [[starwars:Hyperdrive|Hyperdrive]], a dedicated [[starwars:Artificial Intelligence|AI computer]], a [[starwars:Turbolaser|Long Range Turbolaser]] designed to be fitted on a [[starwars:Destroyer|Destroyer]], and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; has been designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that [[Teroch]] wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some members of the crew hope that if the rumour is true it will be a communal one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck One===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:captain&#039;s cabin.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Captin&#039;s Cabin.]]At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, it’s own en-suite [[starwars:refresher|refresher]], and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added to this is a desk and [[starwars:computer terminal|terminal]], a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Two===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Command deck.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Command Station]]The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. At the nose of the craft is the [[starwars:cockpit|cockpit proper]], where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward [[starwars:airlock|airlock]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic display of the sector of space the ship is occupying, as well as a full three dimensional display of the ship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aft of the Command station is the [[starwars:turbolift|turbo lift]], which usually has a pair of marines standing guard either side of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the rear portion of the craft is a small but fully equipped laboratory on the starboard side, and on the port side is an intelligence/communications salo for handling both the large volume of communications as well as housing the encryption department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the far rear is the [[starwars:holonet transceiver|holonet transceiver]] for secure communications with [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] top echelons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Three===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Crew Quarters.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Habitation Deck.]]The habitation deck comprises the largest section of the craft. At the fore of the craft is the currently-empty housing for the LR turbolaser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the Port is the [[starwars:executive officer|XO&#039;s]] office and quarters, and to the starboard is the [[starwars:medical bay|Medical Bay]]. The rear section of the Medical Bay also provides access to the [[starwars:computer core|Computer Core]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the centre of the deck is the dining and recreation area, with numerous tables, chairs and repeater displays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rear portion of the ship is taken up with the crew barrack, refreshers and the two observation decks, both port and starboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Four===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nighthawk engeneering.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Nighthawk&#039;s Reactor on Engineering level.]]Housing the oversized [[starwars:reactor|Reactor]], Deck Four is dominated by &#039;Engineering.&#039; A custom-designed [[starwars:Hypermatter reactor|Hypermatter Reactor]] was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it&#039;s many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as [[starwars:Life Support|Life Support]] and the [[starwars:Shield Generators|Shield Generators]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Five===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AGV Nighthawk Hangar.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Nighthawk&#039;s Hangar.]]The lowest portion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; houses the [[starwars:Hangar|Hangar]] and the [[starwars:Armory|Armoury]]. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain&#039;s Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship&#039;s [[starwars:Quartermaster|Quartermaster]] oversees all supplies coming in and out of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it&#039;s not otherwise in use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modifications are what truly set the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; apart from every other ship in the galaxy. It was designed to be modular with a reactor far exceeding its base needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] military expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shotgun Hypertransciever===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Installed upon all Agave-class pickets, the shotgun Hypertranciever allows instantaneous and secure communications. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cloaking Device===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s primary form of defense is remaining undetected and whilst all Agave-class picket&#039;s stealth systems are formidable, the addition of a [[starwars:Stygium|Stygium]] Cloaking Device renders the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; undetectable to anything not equipped with a [[starwars:Crystal Gravfield Trap|Crystal Gravfield Trap]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Action==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is still being constructed, and as such, has yet to see combat. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;This page is dedicated to the Arcona Clan-Wide Competition known as Operation: Sojourn.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Main Fiction ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Phase I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Estle City|&#039;&#039;Estle City&#039;&#039;]]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Arcona Citadel&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Throne Room&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Marick Arconae]] stood on the dais of the Serpentine Throne, translucent blue flames flickering behind him, the room’s overhead lighting preventing a silhouette from forming over his shoulders. Looking down in front of him, a young woman stood before him. She was undeniably beautiful, with auburn hair cropped at an angle that was shorter at the nape of the neck and fell in fuller strands around her face. The curves of her body were subtle, but there was no mistaking her pedigree. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick found himself hating her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You are of course welcome to continue your studies here, Verse Theris,” The Shadow Lord spoke, his stoic face guarding his thoughts like a mask.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Thank you again for your kindness, my lord,” Verse said with a soft smile and a polite bow. There was a subtle lilt to her tone, one that mimicked the [[Consul]]’s perfectly. [[Hapan]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Marickthrone.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Marick on the dais before the Serpentine Throne]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It spoke to Marick’s self control that he kept any signs of anger clear of his face. He watched the woman exit and waited until the large double doors swung closed with a resounding thump. The Consul’s cool blue eyes shifted to regard the lone figure remaining in front of him. One of his oldest and trusted friends, [[Invictus]]. The [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] shifted his feet uneasily and coughed into his hand. His crimson eyes met his Consul’s and the two simply stared at each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So, what do you think?” Invictus asked, shattering the silence that had filled the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No,” Marick said firmly. “No matter what she says, you cannot trust her. She is using you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Invictus frowned at that. “How do you figure?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It is simply their way, Invictus,” Marick replied, voice growing icy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just because you-” Invictus started to say, but quickly bit back his words. He noted the look in his old friend’s eyes and realized he was crossing a dangerous line. The two had won a War together and made names for themselves. They had established [[Qel-Droma]] as premier house in not just the Clan, but the Brotherhood. The [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] knew that Marick could become a different person when confronted with his past or the women that shared his heritage&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“As you say. I will keep an eye on her, sir,” Invictus bowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick’s eyes seemed to lose their sudden edge. He hated when the few he held close used honorifics with him, and realized that he was being harsh on one of the few people he trusted with his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just be careful,” The Shadow Lord said, stepping off the dais to join Invictus. From the shadows lining the corners of the room, two large [[Cythraul]] appeared, padding obediently to their masters sides and following them out of the throne room. One was white as snow and the other black as midnight: Kira and Ktah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:120%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;-=x=-&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Estle City&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Arcona Citadel&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Footfalls echoed as Marick and Invictus moved casually through the corridors of the Citadel. There was something comforting about walking the halls again. They had been away a long time. It was good to be home. Legorii greeted his Consul and handed him a datapad that highlighted a set of concerns he had observed from the local populace. At the [[starwars:Anzat|Anzat&#039;s]] heels was his own [[Cythraul]], Zymaal. The trio continued to walk and talked of plans to help Arcona begin preparations for the next Brotherhood campaign. Their wolves fell into line, trailing like shadows. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They talked of the newly formed Battle Teams and how they were performing. The members of the Arcona Summit had remained strong despite the conclusion on [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]]. [[Andrelious]] grumbled as he always did in the Cantina after enough drinks, and [[Troutrooper]] had asked to be allowed some time to himself away from everything. The Dark Jedi Master had certainly earned it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick couldn’t help but think that perhaps things could start to run smoothly for once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trio’s discussion was interrupted as a string of Mandalorian-swearing filled the corridor. Following close on the heels of the cursing was [[Teroch Erinos]], a rare look of worry on his face. In his arms, he carried the limp form of a large black wolf. His Cythraul, Kote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Move, di’kut!” he yelled, shoving past Invictus. The Force fueled the Adept’s muscles as he raced towards the medbay. Marick and [[Legorii]] exchanged a curious glance. Legorii started to say something but paused as the sudden sound of whimpering filled the hallway. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick froze. He turned to see Kira’s legs give out, sending her falling onto her side with a whine. The Consul was at her side in the blink of an eye, cradling her head in his lap. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No!” Marick yelled, quickly pressing his hand against the white wolf’s chest. It still rose up and down, but it was faint. They had to get them to the medical bay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Off to the side, Invictus appeared to have already hefted Ktah up into his arms. The midnight-black wolf had collapsed as well. Surprisingly, Zymmal was fine, his ears flat at the sight of his older siblings falling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:120%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;-=x=-&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the other aides in the medbay scurried by, carrying various syringes and blankets, but most stayed well-clear as their Lord Consul practically paced next to the pallet of cushions his loyal partner now rested on in lieu of a bed. The sense of foreboding that radiated from the Hapan was palpable even to those without the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Explain to me what is going on.” The Consul said tightly, voice harder than durasteel. The [[starwars:Miraluka|Miraluka]] kneeling next to his Cythraul sighed and stood up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Marick, I ought to remind you I’m not a specialist on animals, but calm down, please, and I will explain as best I can.” [[Atyiru Caesus Entar|Atyiru]] insisted gently. Marick gathered himself, stilling, and gave her a sharp nod.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The medic took a deep breath. “Simply put, from what I can tell, these three are ill because they’ve been exposed to a germ their bodies recognize as harmful. This germ is present in Kilvin and their mother’s system, but it is normal to their bodies. For the other Cythraul, they’ve now been exposed to the germ, but are not sick, though their systems are producing antibodies. The difference is that Kira, Kote, and Ktah already had these antibodies in their systems, and so the germ activated, so to speak, when they were exposed. It’s a bit like an allergy. The first time, you aren’t affected, your body merely pays attention to the allergen; but the second time, the body recognizes it, decides it doesn’t like it, and attacks.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She waved her hand over the three wolf-like creatures, now painlessly sedated, in her medbay. “My best guess is that the germ came from Hapes. It would make sense considering Kilvin’s normal processing of it. It’s normal to him and where he grew up. The other Cythraul were never exposed because they were born in Feruligade. But that ‘first time’ that set Kira and her littermates up for exposure, without the environmental desensitization of being raised on [[starwars:Hapes|Hapes]], is highly possible, considering they could have contacted it from their parents. I’m further guessing that this hasn’t happened earlier because you were away from Hapes long enough for the germ to not be living on you any longer. One of our new Hapan recruits, however, could have easily been a vector.” Atyiru held up a hand, sensing the spike in Marick’s anger. “Not that she’s to blame.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And what does all that mean for them?” Marick asked, quiet, cold, and loathing. Atyiru handed him a datapad with medical scans even his computer-like mind had difficulty deciphering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Essentially, it’s an acute degenerative disease. Their bodies are attacking themselves, and quickly. Fortunately, it is not an isolated incident. It seems this has happened to other creatures traveling the Hapes Cluster, largely entertaining animals, things for court, I’m sure you’re familiar with. The point is, there’s a medicine for it, but it’s only produced on Hapes. Their problem, their monopoly, really. There’s also a vaccine, something we can give to the other Cythraul, who are now as much of a time bomb as the first litter previously was.” The medic cursed softly. “I’ll do what I can to keep them stable and comfortable, but we don’t have the knowledge, depth, or resources to develop something else. They’re going to need that medication from Hapes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick paled, and looked over at [[Deimos d&#039;Tana|Deimos]], who stood between Ktah and Invictus taking a sample of blood. The white-haired [[starwars:Arkanian|Arkanian]] knew more about creatures of the Galaxy than most, but he had commented in previous dialogues that the Cythraul were unlike anything he had encountered before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What she speaks is true, sir. With the proper ingredients, I am confident, however, that I could produce the antidote.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick nodded slightly, his eyes growing distant. At his side, Teroch hadn’t moved from Kote. The Cythraul was the last gift his father had given him. It was all he had left of him. Yet for all of his skill and power, he was helpless. Invictus did a better job of containing himself, silently staring at Ktah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So, what are we waiting for?” Teroch said, eyes dark beneath the long strands of his hair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silence filled the medbay. The rest of the Summit had gathered, standing off to the wings. The younger Cythraul had been sent away. All eyes seemed to settle on Marick as he shifted his focus towards Kira. She looked immaculate with her sleek white fur blending with the pillow she rested on. Cracks were forming in his impassive mask. He knew that he couldn’t leave. Not now. Things were moving on multiple levels on the Dark Council and the Brotherhood was expanding and Arcona was at its forefront. It would be wrong to take resources away from the home front.  On top that, going back would also mean facing them...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kira whimpered and opened her eyes halfway, looking up at Marick. Through their connection in the Force he could read what she was saying. She did not want him to risk anything for her. Something inside the Consul cracked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Strategos Thanatos Entar|Strategos]] was the first to step forward, placing a hand on Marick’s shoulder. “Marick,” he said in a soft tone. “We just returned from a year of war. We can’t afford to go running off and risking an operation into unscouted territory just to save your wolf-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dark energy flooded the room in a sudden torrent around the Consul. Marick moved like quicksilver, extending the hidden blade in his right bracer and leveling the metal tip against Strategos’ neck. The Elder Arconae didn’t blink and just stared back into the Hapan’s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick’s anger dissipated as quickly as it had appeared. He moved away from Strategos and walked over to stand in front of the Summit. He met eyes with each of them. From the youthful face of Kanis to the calculating eyes of [[Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae|Timeros]]. Each of them would follow him no matter what he chose. Thus was the mantle of responsibility that the Consul bore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ready the Invicta,” Marick said calmly, falling into the practiced visage of the leader of Arcona. He had perfected it over the past year of war, and he let himself drop into the zen-like state he had come to rely so heavily on. This was where he was best, under fire. He was no politician, but he knew how to coordinate his team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We’re going to Milnar,” the Consul stated. There was reluctance on more than one of the Summit member’s faces, and Kordath mumbled something under his breath. He received a sharp elbow from [[Cethgus]], who bluntly broke out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, we are not going to war over a few dogs,” The Quaestor said loud enough for all gathered to hear. “We are going to help save members of Arcona. We are one Clan, one family.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Terochwolf.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Teroch and Kote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blue-skinned Battleteam leader attempted to sink into his own robes, eyes glued to his feet. Marick did not yell, or even seem to address the comment. Instead, he continued. “I will not force any of you to follow me. However, the Hapes cluster holds many other treasures we could leverage to help recoup some of our losses from the Crusade. This is also a perfect way to see how strong we’ve truly become. For once, we fight not for a distant Grand Master sitting idle on his throne. As Cethgus said, we fight for Arcona, and those who all call it home. And rest assured, we will not sending the entire Fleet. This needs to be done quietly, but effectively.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Summit saluted in unison, fists moving to their chest’s above their hearts. They would all follow him, of course. Even if it was grudgingly. For Marick had not talked his way to Consul, or plotted or made moves in the shadows to do so. Marick Arconae had rose to his station by sheer work ethic and passion. He had proven both in and out of battle that he stuck to his word and not a force in the galaxy could bend his resolve otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Assemble your teams. I will relay further instructions by secure channel, with all the intel myself and the DIA have collected on the Hapes Cluster,” the Consul finished. The Summit dropping their salutes and nods before scattering to make preparations. Legorii hanging behind without needing a cue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You already know what I’m going to ask, don’t you?” Marick said evenly to his Proconsul. Legorii nodded, folding his arms over his chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will stay here keep your seat warm,” the Anzat said clasping his long time partner-in-crime on the shoulder. “Go.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick looked over at Kira and nodded. He returned the shoulder clasp before turning to leave, the tassels of his Shadeborn robes trailing in his wake. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Phase II ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] had mobilized quickly. Despite a sea of mixed emotions, every member from its Summit down to its newest recruits--even the mundanes--understood what needed to be done. Whether they fully agreed or disagreed with the orders, they would follow  [[Marick Arconae]] to the gates of hell. The Battleteam Leader, Quaestor, Proconsul and now Shadow Lord had devoted his life to Clan Arcona. He had earned their trust and loyalty. For now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Cethgus|Cethgus Entar Arconae]] stood on the bridge with his arms folded across his chest, tapping his finger impatiently against his bicep. He was not sure how he felt about this particular mission. Part of him understood the importance of the [[Cythraul]] to the Clan, the other attached to his own companion who could grow sick at any moment. The Cythraul were, in essence, a symbol of Arcona’s spirit, a symbol of importance similar to the title of [[Arconae]]. It was something that was reserved for only a select few, but those select few were the ones who had truly given their lives for the sake of the Shadow Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can smell wood burning, brother,” [[Atyiru Caesus Entar|Atyiru]] whispered so that only her Quaestor could hear. The Zabrak sneered but kept his attention forward. At his other side, [[Lexi Sarden|Lexi]] shifted nervously from foot to foot, unsure of what she should be doing other than staying close to her former Master’s side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The doors to the bridge slid open. Marick Arconae emerged from the entrance and approached the helm with easy steps. The tassels of his Shadeborn robes hugging tight to his body as footfalls echoed out over the now silent bridge. The officers closest to the entrance snapped into salutes, the rest of the crew quickly following suit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cethgus turned and bowed only his head. “Lord Consul,” the Quaestor said smoothly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Cethgus, Atyiru, Miss Sarden,” Marick replied with a polite nod, his features remaining a mask of neutrality. Cethgus returned the nod, Atyiru grinned and Lexi flushed slightly and looked down, not sure why the Consul of her Clan had addressed her. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I thought you would be on the [[NSD Invicta|&#039;&#039;Invicta&#039;&#039;]], sir,” Cethgus said, lifting a brow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“After looking over the scouting reports and some intel, I realized that the &#039;&#039;Invicta&#039;&#039; would be better served for other purposes at the current moment. While I am confident in [[Shadow Gate]]’s infiltration of the Swa’kata pirates and the success of our mission,” the Hapan started to explain, letting his voice carry just enough so that he filled the bridge without the need to actually yell. His voice had iron in it. The weight of command. It was the difference between arrogance and confidence. Failure was simply not an option in his mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick stepped forward and pulled up a holo-map on the main display. “We will leave the &#039;&#039;Invicta&#039;&#039;, our Majestics, and the rest of First Fleet guarding our return trip. Even with our full force we would be no match for the Hapan Fleet, so subtly will be key.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“As you say...” Cethgus said slowly, letting the plan sink in. Marick nodded and moved next to his fellow Arconae.  Standing just off to the Consul’s side, [[Anduriel]] tried his best to look as intimidating and serious as possible. Compared to the perfectly composed, statuesque face of Marick, he was only partially successful. Atyiru had to bite her lip to avoid a giggle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh. I have not yet had a chance to speak with Kordath, but I have transferred Anduriel to serve as my attaché for this mission. I assumed you would be alright with this.” It was not a question, but was quiet enough so that only Cethgus could hear him. Marick’s face remained stoic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fine by me,” the Zabrak replied with a grunt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marick nodded and stepped up to the terminal and prepared an encrypted message to the [[AGV Nighthawk|&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;]]. Once he had confirmation that it had been sent and received, he looked around the bridge before barking his first order to the crew of the [[BAC Darkest Night|&#039;&#039;Darkest Night&#039;&#039;]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Prepare the jump to hyperspace.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Aye, sir!” the officer affirmed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The crew of the ‘’Darkest Night’’ went to work with the practiced efficiency of a team that had been constantly ready for conflict. Marick looked out the viewport and let his hands clasp easily together behind his back. The blackness of space filled with a series of white dashes that marked that their jump had begun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:120%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;-=x=-&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the &#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039; prepared to make its inaugural voyage, [[Teroch|Teroch Arconae]] pulled up the encrypted message from the ‘’Darkest Night’’. Cethgus had never been one for security, but the code was the same one that James Entar himself had designed for communication between Arconae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039; Teroch,&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have attached a full order of operations, but wanted to make sure this part got to you and only you. When we break from hyperspace, I want you to to trail in the &#039;&#039;Darkest Night’s&#039;&#039; shadow and fade away. I have a feeling we will have company upon arrival, and I am putting the mission’s success in the hands of the &#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;. As for why I’m on with the &#039;&#039;Darkest Night&#039;&#039;…I just need you to trust me on this one. Our best bet will be to emerge at Telkur Station. It’s the only way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Clan. One Family. We will beat this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;-Marick &#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teroch opened the attachment, mechanically scanned its contents and committed to memory and then promptly deleted the message and sent it to Celahir for a multi-pass wipe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If &#039;&#039;Buir&#039;&#039; trusted you, so can I,” the Captain of the &#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039; whispered. “Good luck, brother.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the youth was growing up after all. He sat back into his command chair and waited, knowing that it would take multiple jumps to enter the isolated Hapes Cluster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:120%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;-=x=-&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Phantom Complex&#039;&#039; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Port Ol’val&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sir, we, uh...we need help.” [[Kanis Da&#039;uul]] said, trying his best to keep composed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What, can’t handle a bunch of unruly mundanes?” [[Ernordeth]] replied with mild irritation building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Your insights are as penetrating as their blaster fire.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Qel-Droma Quaestor leaned towards the holoprojector. “They&#039;ve gone hostile?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanis nodded. “Hostile and organized. We applied the entire use of force continuum up to lethal measures without success. We hesitate to—“&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You were given complete freedom to handle the situation as necessary, which implies lethal force when necessary.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But these are our civilians, our economic base, our home support. We can&#039;t gallivant across the galaxy with an unruly Dajorran populace. We can&#039;t simply kill them. If we start attacking, they&#039;re going to ramp up their efforts even more than they already have. They have snipers, a network of watchers, supply lines. This unrest isn&#039;t unruly. They are organized and they are winning. We need more men and materials.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I need proof we&#039;re losing the fight. Until then, make do with what you have.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Your proof will arrive via coffin.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We&#039;re all expendable until we prove otherwise. Stop failing. Ernordeth out.” He slumped in his chair and sighed. Another deep breath and—Sithspit. Worst part of war: no time to think. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:120%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;-=x=-&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Serpentine Throne &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Arcona Citadel&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Proconsul, sir. How may I serve?” Ernodeth’s holograph appeared on [[Legorii]]’s communicator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I need good news. Cethgus never has any. Atyiru is juggling sick puppies and touchy nerves. [[Nikola Valtiere|Valtiere]] is...not sure. So I&#039;m asking you for some good news.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Quaestor swallowed. “Well, let&#039;s see...[[Condar Sovar|Condar]] and the rest of Shadow Gate have made in routes with the Swa&#039;kata. Should attain full membership after they return from a raid they&#039;re on. Our scouts are running constant patrols around Dajorra. Nothing found yet.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Legorii shook his head. “I said &#039;good news&#039;, not &#039;regurgitate what you wrote in this morning&#039;s report, which was neutral news.&#039; Tell me something positive.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“...Sh-[[Shadow Phyle]]! They are...are...”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They are failing just like everyone else. I&#039;ve seen the holovids. We&#039;re losing [[Estle City]]. Likely by nightfall, it will be lost. We&#039;re losing the pups. Likely by the week&#039;s end, they will be lost. And we&#039;ve lost [[Orv]].”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lost...Orv, sir?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Legorii sighed. “A notice was posted in the Dark Hall saying a Dark Councilor is missing and presumed dead. Considering all other Dark Councilors are present and accounted for, I fear we may have lost an Arconae.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh,” the recent [[Tarentum]] transfer looked down. “My condolences.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If he is dead, we cannot do anything for him. The Cythraul are dying. We will do everything we can for them.” The Proconsul paused. “Not a word of this to anyone especially the Arconae. I&#039;ll handle them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Understood.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, about that—bah. I must answer this comm. Quickly: reallocate resources to aid Shadow Phyle in suppressing that rebellion, and determine how and why these Force-Insensitive insurrectionists are able to defeat us. Legorii out.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:120%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;-=x=-&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ernodeth sighed and switched one projector off as he turned another on. “Go ahead, [[Deimos d&#039;Tana|Deimos]].”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sir, I think I may have an avenue that will lead to curation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Questor frowned. “Basic, please.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I&#039;m on to something.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Go ahead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deimos nodded. “I found an enzyme that—“&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ernor frowned again. “You lost me at &#039;enzyme&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I&#039;ve had good successes, but more testing needs to be done. I need more enzymes and, more importantly, I need tissue samples from the Cythraul. All previous testing has been done with cultured cells. Perfect for quick analysis, but real world testing must be done before we go further with this curative vector.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Keep on it,” the Quaestor said. “Ernodeth out.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:120%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;-=x=-&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Darkest Night&#039;&#039; winked into existence as it exited Hyperspace. Trailing behind it, the &#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039; remained shadowed by the larger ships bulk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ready stealth drive!” Teroch barked, and the crew of the &#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039; sprung into sudden motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Aye,” Arcia yelled in affirmation, her fingers dancing over her terminal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kalon cracked his knuckles and placed gloved hands around the pilot controls. The stealth drive activated and the pilot took control, easing the ship into a slow gradual push away from the &#039;&#039;Darkest Night&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stealth mode engaged, all cleared sir.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Excellent,” Teroch said absently, his eyes fixated out on the viewport. What was Marick planning?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a matter of moments, a series of blinking lights flooded black canvas. The Hapan Royal Fleet had suffered damages at the hand of the Vong, but the combination of Hapan Battle Dragons and Nova-Class Cruisers were just as intimidating as the reports painted them. He could see now why Marick had chosen not to bring the bulk of Arcona’s might. But that meant...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He’s not going to...” Teroch muttered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:120%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;-=x=-&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mother of...that’s a lot of ships!” Kordath called out. The Ryn Battleteam leader had made his way to the bridge per the request of his scarily persuasive Aedile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nice read, blue-boy,” Atyiru replied dryly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cethgus tensed, but did well to keep his visage straight. Marick’s face remained impassive as usual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Incoming transmission, Lord Consul.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Patch it through.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Atyiru bit her lip. The command screen flickered with static momentarily but was soon filled with the face of a strikingly gorgeous woman looking to be in her early thirties. Her elfin features projected a youthful glow, and a set of almond shaped eyes were framed by twin strands of golden hair, the rest tied back into a tail that trailed down between her shoulder blades. While her beauty was undeniable, her eyes were a crystalline blue that almost seemed glacial in a familiar way. They were the same eyes as--&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MarickandErintalk.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Marick and Erin Del’Abbot]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is Erin Del’Abbot, Captain of the Hapes Consortium Border Guard. Please state your business-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hello, sister,” Marick spoke calmly, his face a perfect mask. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone on the bridge, including Cethgus turned to regard Marick, then quickly re-adjusted their focus on the display screen. While the novelty of their Consul having a gorgeous sibling set in, Atyiru noticed something in the corner of Marick’s eye. There was a thin line that most would miss, a crease as subtle as a hairline fracture. Marick never spoke about his past, and Atyiru had a feeling that this would not be a festive family re-union. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Little Rikki,” the woman said with smirk of her full lips. “You’ve grown up. To what do we owe this...privilege?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I wish to meet with Lady Del’Abbot to discuss matters of diplomacy,” Marick said, his voice somehow remaining even.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Very well. Who is your commanding officer? The one on your left?” She pointed at Atyiru, who looked both ways before pointing a finger at her own chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I...”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You are speaking to Marick Arconae, Shadow Lord and Consul of Clan Arcona,” Cethgus said in a strong baritone. Marick’s jaw tightened, but other than that he remained stoic. His eyes never left the display.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erin blinked once and then tilted her head back with laughter. After a moment, she stopped. “Oh, you are serious. Very well then, &amp;quot;Shadow Lord&amp;quot;. You may dock at the station and we will escort you to the Del’Abbot estate. I’m sure mother will be...ecstatic to see her lone son returned,” there was something in her voice that made Atyiru uncomfortable. She couldn’t place it, but she was starting to dislike this woman already and certainly did not appreciate the tone she was taking with Marick. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The transmission cut. Marick didn’t blink and just stared forward. Without another word he turned and walked away from the bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:120%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;-=x=-&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Riots increasing in intensity and frequency...&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Hapes Cluster alerted to their surprising and unwelcome appearance...&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Canines suffering...&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Cure in sight, but sources for the ingredient are being &#039;managed&#039;...&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A new ship with a new pilot, neither have been fully tested...&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A Clan divided, a fleet split...&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Everything continues as planned. My master, once he has returned from his forays against the Brotherhood, will be quite pleased.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lieutenant Espada pulled her cloak around her as she leaned back in the chair of the safe house she had established on the outskirts of Estelle City. The Dark Crusade was far from over, and the One Sith knew who their real threat was. Taking down Arcona would cripple the Brotherhood in more ways than one.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Assignments ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Phase I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Marick Arconae]]: Personally leading the Expedition Force from the ISD Invicta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Legorii]]: Command of the Arcona Citadel and the day-to-day operations of the Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Qel-Droma]]: Lead by Ernordeth and Valtiere, House Qel-Droma&#039;s main force will stay behind to help Shadow Phyle coordinating the defense of the Dajorra System with the main strength of Arcona away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Galeres]]: Lead by Atyiru and Cethgus, the non-Battleteam forces of House Galares will accompany Arcona to Hapes for support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shadow Phyle]]: Security detail. Routing out and identifying insurrectionists in Estele City that have forgotten to fear the Shadesworn in Arcona&#039;s absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nighthawk]]: Coordinate with DIA intelligence to route out a source for the cure. Take advantage of the Nighthawks systems to avoid detection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Soulfire]]: Escort AGV Nighthawk, Invicta, prepared to take on any complications the Expedition Force would encounter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shadow Gate]]: Infiltrate the Swa’kata Pirates, a notorious group that would allow Arcona to establish contacts for easier extraction of the Hapes Cluster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Dark Forge]]: Acting as ground reinforcements for confrontations in unfriendly system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Arete]]: Weapons free. As the independent team, you are free to chose where you go. However, I think Verse would want to venture to the Hapes Cluster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Phase II ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;** NOTE: I will be making a post IN the actual Run-On to introduce the prompts organically. Please hold for now.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nighthawk]]: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the Darkest Night as a decoy, the Nighthawk has broken off and will be making its way to Milnar in search for the cure. Communication will need to be established with the Citadel via the Serpentine Throne, which Legorii will be operating out of. The Throne has the unique ability to communicate with all Arconan ships. Finding the cure won’t be easy, and there are still pirate ships and patrols the Nighthawk will need to take steps to avoid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Galeres]]:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BAC Darkest Night has landed on Telkur Station. Marick will be accompanied by Cethgus, Atriyu, Anduriel, Lexi, and Verse as an honor guard to discuss negotiations between Arcona and the Hapes Cluster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Dark Forge]]:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With K’tana attached, stays with the Darkest Night to guard it. They are under surveillance and heavy guard. Their standing orders are to make sure no trickery happens, but Kordath and team are distracted by a troupe of seductive women who end up capturing and imprisoning Dark Forge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Qel-Droma]]:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lend support to Shadow Phyle in maintaining order in Estele City. Investigate who is behind these attacks, because it is too calculated to just be happenstance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shadow Phyle]]:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow Phyle is being given aid to help stave off the insurrections in Estele City. They are being lead by a strong hand, possibly a member of the One Sith, however, and should proceed with caution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shadow Gate]]:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Condar, Etah, and Strategos lead the infiltration of the Swa’kata pirates. They are to establish firm identities with the crews, and make their way towards the edges of Hapan space to help secure ex-filtration.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]] when two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], known as Jasper and Ellie Corden, made the decision that they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down with a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, quickly taking advantage of it and moving to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already with child, being the driving reason for moving forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two former Imperial Officers took great joy in raising their daughter and teaching her the lessons of life they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.|Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She traveled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still traveled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that did not know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia traveled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Shadow Clan===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Any continuity errors and/or canonical errors can be brought to Esca&#039;s attention before any alterations need be made.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia is typically seen as a cool headed person, striving to better herself and those around her. Full of knowledge, performing to the best of her ability, giving respect to those that deserve it, holding the darkness in her heart as a weapon, fighting back the conflicts of her past and seeking to finish an old feud, Arcia is full of traits both of great use, but also of potential disaster. She is typically very cryptic when referencing her past, keeping most of the knowledge from before her Sith training to herself and only sharing with a select few.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rumor also states that she may have a softer side when one gets to know her, but those records are classified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Knowledge ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|There is still a lot I do not know.|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia could be considered a master of linguistics. She learned many languages that have been documented, but also many that have not. This sheds light on her desire to expand her knowledge of varying interests, foremost being linguistics, but not necessarily limited to. In her studies she has become proficient in at least five different languages as well as learning the Histories and Evolution of Binary and CBell-1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from linguistics, Arcia also holds a strong understanding of various communications systems, gained from her time within the Imperial Navy, as well as expert level knowledge with slicing terminals, droids and other mechanical and electronic devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can occasionally be seen browsing the library in the Dark Vault during her off time, attempting to add to the knowledge she already holds of many different subjects. She also keeps a small library of subject related books in her quarters aboard the AGV Nighthawk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Perfection ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|If you do not know how to do something, you can teach yourself.|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia is a perfectionist, no question about it. When she does a job, she does it right the first time. Even if it takes her longer to accomplish than others around her, she gives it her all and does not return from the job until it has been completed to the best of all her ability. When giving an outward view, she expects those around her to also give their all and does not take to mediocrity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being the perfectionist that she is, Arcia is typically viewed as being a ‘hardass’ and very serious when issuing orders and performing jobs. In her opinion, this gives her a better opportunity to use her skill sets and act out any persona she may be undertaking at the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Respect ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|They hold their position for a reason. Knowing what to do and how to get others to do it is a respectable trait.|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia, being raised by officers of the Empire, was taught about respecting the chain of command. Those in positional authority are there for a reason and deserve to have the respect the position carries with it. This state of mind was only furthered with her joining the Imperial Navy herself and experiencing the acts herself. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When given an order, Arcia instantly takes a mental snapshot of the person issuing the orders and makes a judgement call on their confidence, demeanor and knowledge of the matter at hand. Within that instant, she is able to decide if the order is worthwhile to follow and what sort of respect is to be associated with carrying out the given task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Darkness ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|There...are things I just do not speak of…|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia channels her grasp of the Dark Side through a series of memories seared into her, never to forget. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The brutal loss of her daughter at the hand of Zeklynd  threw her even further into the blackness than his Master/Student teachings ever could. When imprisoned, Arcia was closed off from the Force for a time, causing the darkness within her to become something more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lover that left her without a trace, leading a trail of anger and pain as well as an object of blame for the devastating acts done to her, as he was not there to protect her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When introduced to the Force again, by the will of a Jedi Master, Arcia learned to close off her mind and emotions, enabling her to perform as a Jedi instead of Sith. In the present, Arcia uses this ability to concentrate her hold of the Dark Side instead of using it at once as it builds up within her, allowing her abilities to carry further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When questioned of her darker past, Arcia usually just walks away without a word.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conflict ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I...I just do not think this is right…|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with Arcia’s upbringing and her service to the Empire, her ability to trust has a blemish. Where her level of respect of those in positional authority takes precedence in many situations, her unfortunate end with Zeklynd caused her to second guess any male in a position over her, especially those holding great power. At times, typically when it is most inopportune, Arcia may become conflicted when following orders which causes unpredictability and making her a potential liability on missions. Arcia also finds it harder to get close to people, of either gender, due to the sudden disappearance of a former lover leading into a life of pain soon after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Revenge ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not stop until one of us is dead.|Arcia}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a past tragedy in her life, Arcia is bent on exacting her revenge on a certain individual. No matter what she is doing, what mission she is on, who she is serving under, if Arcia finds this individual and is able to ‘take her shot,’ she will drop everything and relentlessly pursue this man until either one of them is dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personal Weaponry ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Lightsaber ====&lt;br /&gt;

== Interesting Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Arcia is the second complete character Esca has used in the DJB, following Ethran Sayre Isradia.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arcia was the first Light Side oriented character Esca has ever made, in or outside of the DJB, which ultimately ended up being Dark Side again.&lt;br /&gt;
*Though Arcia&#039;s optical implants resist any sort of outside influence, in the ACC this may not be the case at hand...&lt;br /&gt;
*Esca will be writing short fictions that go into more detail of Arcia&#039;s past missions and accomplishments. Stay tuned!&lt;br /&gt;

Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]] when two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], known as Jasper and Ellie Corden, made the decision that they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down with a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, quickly taking advantage of it and moving to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already with child, being the driving reason for moving forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two former Imperial Officers took great joy in raising their daughter and teaching her the lessons of life they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.|Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She traveled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still traveled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that did not know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia traveled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Shadow Clan===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Carc-logo.jpg|100px|left|Clan Arcona]] [[File:BTNighthawk-Logo.jpg|100px|Nighthawk]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Any continuity errors and/or canonical errors can be brought to Esca&#039;s attention before any alterations need be made.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia is typically seen as a cool headed person, striving to better herself and those around her. Full of knowledge, performing to the best of her ability, giving respect to those that deserve it, holding the darkness in her heart as a weapon, fighting back the conflicts of her past and seeking to finish an old feud, Arcia is full of traits both of great use, but also of potential disaster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rumor also states that she may have a softer side when one gets to know her, but those records are classified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Knowledge ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|There is still a lot I do not know.|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia could be considered a master of linguistics. She learned many languages that have been documented, but also many that have not. This sheds light on her desire to expand her knowledge of varying interests, foremost being linguistics, but not necessarily limited to. In her studies she has become proficient in at least five different languages as well as learning the Histories and Evolution of Binary and CBell-1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from linguistics, Arcia also holds a strong understanding of various communications systems, gained from her time within the Imperial Navy, as well as expert level knowledge with slicing terminals, droids and other mechanical and electronic devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can occasionally be seen browsing the library in the Dark Vault during her off time, attempting to add to the knowledge she already holds of many different subjects. She also keeps a small library of subject related books in her quarters aboard the AGV Nighthawk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Perfection ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|If you do not know how to do something, you can teach yourself.|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia is a perfectionist, no question about it. When she does a job, she does it right the first time. Even if it takes her longer to accomplish than others around her, she gives it her all and does not return from the job until it has been completed to the best of all her ability. When giving an outward view, she expects those around her to also give their all and does not take to mediocrity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being the perfectionist that she is, Arcia is typically viewed as being a ‘hardass’ and very serious when issuing orders and performing jobs. In her opinion, this gives her a better opportunity to use her skill sets and act out any persona she may be undertaking at the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Respect ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|They hold their position for a reason. Knowing what to do and how to get others to do it is a respectable trait.|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia, being raised by officers of the Empire, was taught about respecting the chain of command. Those in positional authority are there for a reason and deserve to have the respect the position carries with it. This state of mind was only furthered with her joining the Imperial Navy herself and experiencing the acts herself. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When given an order, Arcia instantly takes a mental snapshot of the person issuing the orders and makes a judgement call on their confidence, demeanor and knowledge of the matter at hand. Within that instant, she is able to decide if the order is worthwhile to follow and what sort of respect is to be associated with carrying out the given task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Darkness ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|There...are things I just do not speak of…|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia channels her grasp of the Dark Side through a series of memories seared into her, never to forget. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The brutal loss of her daughter at the hand of Zeklynd  threw her even further into the blackness than his Master/Student teachings ever could. When imprisoned, Arcia was closed off from the Force for a time, causing the darkness within her to become something more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lover that left her without a trace, leading a trail of anger and pain as well as an object of blame for the devastating acts done to her, as he was not there to protect her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When introduced to the Force again, by the will of a Jedi Master, Arcia learned to close off her mind and emotions, enabling her to perform as a Jedi instead of Sith. In the present, Arcia uses this ability to concentrate her hold of the Dark Side instead of using it at once as it builds up within her, allowing her abilities to carry further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When questioned of her darker past, Arcia usually just walks away without a word.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conflict ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I...I just do not think this is right…|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with Arcia’s upbringing and her service to the Empire, her ability to trust has a blemish. Where her level of respect of those in positional authority takes precedence in many situations, her unfortunate end with Zeklynd caused her to second guess any male in a position over her, especially those holding great power. At times, typically when it is most inopportune, Arcia may become conflicted when following orders which causes unpredictability and making her a potential liability on missions. Arcia also finds it harder to get close to people, of either gender, due to the sudden disappearance of a former lover leading into a life of pain soon after.&lt;br /&gt;

==== Revenge ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not stop until one of us is dead.|Arcia}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a past tragedy in her life, Arcia is bent on exacting her revenge on a certain individual. No matter what she is doing, what mission she is on, who she is serving under, if Arcia finds this individual and is able to ‘take her shot,’ she will drop everything and relentlessly pursue this man until either one of them is dead.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]] when two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], known as Jasper and Ellie Corden, made the decision that they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down with a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, quickly taking advantage of it and moving to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already with child, being the driving reason for moving forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two former Imperial Officers took great joy in raising their daughter and teaching her the lessons of life they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.|Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She traveled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still traveled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that did not know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia traveled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Any continuity errors and/or canonical errors can be brought to Esca&#039;s attention before any alterations need be made.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia is typically seen as a cool headed person, striving to better herself and those around her. Full of knowledge, performing to the best of her ability, giving respect to those that deserve it, holding the darkness in her heart as a weapon, fighting back the conflicts of her past and seeking to finish an old feud, Arcia is full of traits both of great use, but also of potential disaster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rumor also states that she may have a softer side when one gets to know her, but those records are classified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Knowledge ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|There is still a lot I do not know.|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia could be considered a master of linguistics. She learned many languages that have been documented, but also many that have not. This sheds light on her desire to expand her knowledge of varying interests, foremost being linguistics, but not necessarily limited to. In her studies she has become proficient in at least 5 different languages as well as learning the Histories and Evolution of Binary and CBell-1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from linguistics, Arcia also holds a strong understanding of various communications systems, gained from her time within the Imperial Navy, as well as expert level knowledge with slicing terminals, droids and other mechanical and electronic devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can occasionally be seen browsing the library in the Dark Vault during her off time, attempting to add to the knowledge she already holds of many different subjects. She also keeps a small library of subject related books in her quarters aboard the AGV Nighthawk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Perfection ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|If you do not know how to do something, you can teach yourself.|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia is a perfectionist, no question about it. When she does a job, she does it right the first time. Even if it takes her longer to accomplish than others around her, she gives it her all and does not return from the job until it has been completed to the best of all her ability. When giving an outward view, she expects those around her to also give their all and does not take to mediocrity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being the perfectionist that she is, Arcia is typically viewed as being a ‘hardass’ and very serious when issuing orders and performing jobs. In her opinion, this gives her a better opportunity to use her skill sets and act out any persona she may be undertaking at the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Respect ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|They hold their position for a reason. Knowing what to do and how to get others to do it is a respectable trait.|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia, being raised by officers of the Empire, was taught about respecting the chain of command. Those in positional authority are there for a reason and deserve to have the respect the position carries with it. This state of mind was only furthered with her joining the Imperial Navy herself and experiencing the acts herself. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When given an order, Arcia instantly takes a mental snapshot of the person issuing the orders and makes a judgement call on their confidence, demeanor and knowledge of the matter at hand. Within that instant, she is able to decide if the order is worthwhile to follow and what sort of respect is to be associated with carrying out the given task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Darkness ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|There...are things I just do not speak of…|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia channels her grasp of the Dark Side through a series of memories seared into her, never to forget. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The brutal loss of her daughter at the hand of Zeklynd  threw her even further into the blackness than his Master/Student teachings ever could. When imprisoned, Arcia was closed off from the Force for a time, causing the darkness within her to become something more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lover that left her without a trace, leading a trail of anger and pain as well as an object of blame for the devastating acts done to her, as he was not there to protect her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When introduced to the Force again, by the will of a Jedi Master, Arcia learned to close off her mind and emotions, enabling her to perform as a Jedi instead of Sith. In the present, Arcia uses this ability to concentrate her hold of the Dark Side instead of using it at once as it builds up within her, allowing her abilities to carry further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When questioned of her darker past, Arcia usually just walks away without a word.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conflict ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I...I just do not think this is right…|Arcia Cortel}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with Arcia’s upbringing and her service to the Empire, her ability to trust has a blemish. Where her level of respect of those in positional authority takes precedence in many situations, her unfortunate end with Zeklynd caused her to second guess any male in a position over her, especially those holding great power. At times, typically when it is most inopportune, Arcia may become conflicted when following orders which causes unpredictability and making her a potential liability on missions. Arcia also finds it harder to get close to people, of either gender, due to the sudden disappearance of a former lover leading into a life of pain soon after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Revenge ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not stop until one of us is dead.|Arcia}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a past tragedy in her life, Arcia is bent on exacting her revenge on a certain individual. No matter what she is doing, what mission she is on, who she is serving under, if Arcia finds this individual and is able to ‘take her shot,’ she will drop everything and relentlessly pursue this man until either one of them is dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personal Weaponry ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*Arcia is the second complete character Esca has used in the DJB, following Ethran Sayre Isradia.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arcia was the first Light Side oriented character Esca has ever made, in or outside of the DJB, which ultimately ended up being Dark Side again.&lt;br /&gt;
*Though Arcia&#039;s optical implants resist any sort of outside influence, in the ACC this may not be the case at hand...&lt;br /&gt;
*Esca will be writing short fictions that go into more detail of Arcia&#039;s past missions and accomplishments. Stay tuned!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]], two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], named Jasper and Ellie Corden, decided they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down and have a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, so they quickly took advantage of it and moved to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already pregnant, which was why they moved forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two once Imperial Officers enjoyed raising their daughter and teaching her the lifestyles they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.|Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She travelled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still travelled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that didn’t know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia travelled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Any continuity errors and/or canonical errors can be brought to Esca&#039;s attention before any alterations need be made.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can be very cocky in certain situations. Whenever she is not taking on a different persona, it slips out in great frequency; many a time getting her in trouble. While posing as someone else, however, all traces of herself are gone as she is 100% immersed into the role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia tells it like it is and doesn’t hold back, most of the time. She once explained that she hasn’t the time nor patience to sugar coat things for the ‘kids.’&lt;br /&gt;

*Arcia is the second complete character Esca has used in the DJB, following Ethran Sayre Isradia.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arcia was the first Light Side oriented character Esca has ever made, in or outside of the DJB, which ultimately ended up being Dark Side again.&lt;br /&gt;
*Though Arcia&#039;s optical implants resist any sort of outside influence, in the ACC this may not be the case at hand...&lt;br /&gt;
*Esca will be writing short fictions that go into more detail of Arcia&#039;s past missions and accomplishments. Stay tuned!&lt;br /&gt;

A new initiative from the [[Dajorra_Intelligence_Agency|DIA]], the Nighthawk acts as the Shadow Lord’s eyes and ears, co-ordinating the far-flung spies, informants and agents of the Dajorra Intelligence Agency. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Members of [[Arcona]] are chosen because of their unique skill sets and loyalty to form the basis of a team that reaches far into the depths of space. The Nighthawk and her crew have an intelligence bent, but not exclusively so. They pride themselves on their adaptability, fraternity, and never losing sight of the end goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Crew==&lt;br /&gt;
Nighthawk’s crew consists of the Dark Jedi assigned to Teroch’s mission, alongside a full compliment of military personnel, and civilian support staff.&lt;br /&gt;

==Vessel Info==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a heavily modified [[starwars:Agave-class picket|Agave-class Picket]]. It was commissioned by [[Clan Arcona]] in 37 ABY after the [[Dark Crusade]] to fill a very specific and unique role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It connects and directs the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency has at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] and the [[Dajorra Defence Force]]; only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces for joint operations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; and her crew spend long periods operating away from home, acting as [[Arcona|Arcona’s]] eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever come to be in a position to actually harm the Clan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some cases of reported threat, once orders have been received, the crew of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; are heavily trained in a vast manner of combat oriented skill sets to handle situations requiring immediate action, giving the Team the ability to respond swiftly and efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Characteristics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original [[starwars:Agave-class|Agave-class]] design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, in addition to the modified hull, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; possesses a [[starwars:Cloaking Device|Cloaking Device]], allowing it to move undetected through enemy space. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to host a small complement of support craft. Thus far, there are two [[starwars:Nu-class|Nu-class]] attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own [[starwars:Stealth-X fighter|Stealth-X fighter]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented [[starwars:Hyperdrive|Hyperdrive]], a dedicated [[starwars:Artificial Intelligence|AI computer]], a [[starwars:Turbolaser|Long Range Turbolaser]] designed to be fitted on a [[starwars:Destroyer|Destroyer]], and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; has been designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that [[Teroch]] wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some members of the crew hope that if the rumour is true it will be a communal one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck One===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:captain&#039;s cabin.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Captin&#039;s Cabin.]]At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, it’s own en-suite [[starwars:refresher|refresher]], and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added to this is a desk and [[starwars:computer terminal|terminal]], a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Two===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Command deck.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Command Station]]The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. At the nose of the craft is the [[starwars:cockpit|cockpit proper]], where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward [[starwars:airlock|airlock]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic display of the sector of space the ship is occupying, as well as a full three dimensional display of the ship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aft of the Command station is the [[starwars:turbolift|turbo lift]], which usually has a pair of marines standing guard either side of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the rear portion of the craft is a small but fully equipped laboratory on the starboard side, and on the port side is an intelligence/communications salo for handling both the large volume of communications as well as housing the encryption department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the far rear is the [[starwars:holonet transceiver|holonet transceiver]] for secure communications with [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] top echelons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Three===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Crew Quarters.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Habitation Deck.]]The habitation deck comprises the largest section of the craft. At the fore of the craft is the currently-empty housing for the LR turbolaser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the Port is the [[starwars:executive officer|XO&#039;s]] office and quarters, and to the starboard is the [[starwars:medical bay|Medical Bay]]. The rear section of the Medical Bay also provides access to the [[starwars:computer core|Computer Core]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the centre of the deck is the dining and recreation area, with numerous tables, chairs and repeater displays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rear portion of the ship is taken up with the crew barrack, refreshers and the two observation decks, both port and starboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Four===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nighthawk engeneering.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Nighthawk&#039;s Reactor on Engineering level.]]Housing the oversized [[starwars:reactor|Reactor]], Deck Four is dominated by &#039;Engineering.&#039; A custom-designed [[starwars:Hypermatter reactor|Hypermatter Reactor]] was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it&#039;s many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as [[starwars:Life Support|Life Support]] and the [[starwars:Shield Generators|Shield Generators]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Five===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:nighthawk-hangar.png|200px|thumb|left|Nighthawk&#039;s Hangar.]]The lowest portion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; houses the [[starwars:Hangar|Hangar]] and the [[starwars:Armory|Armoury]]. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain&#039;s Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship&#039;s [[starwars:Quartermaster|Quartermaster]] oversees all supplies coming in and out of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it&#039;s not otherwise in use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modifications are what truly set the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; apart from every other ship in the galaxy. It was designed to be modular with a reactor far exceeding its base needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] military expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shotgun Hypertransciever===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Installed upon all Agave-class pickets, the shotgun Hypertranciever allows instantaneous and secure communications. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cloaking Device===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s primary form of defense is remaining undetected and whilst all Agave-class picket&#039;s stealth systems are formidable, the addition of a [[starwars:Stygium|Stygium]] Cloaking Device renders the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; undetectable to anything not equipped with a [[starwars:Crystal Gravfield Trap|Crystal Gravfield Trap]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Action==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is still being constructed, and as such, has yet to see combat. &lt;br /&gt;

==Vessel Info==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a heavily modified [[starwars:Agave-class picket|Agave-class Picket]]. It was commissioned by [[Clan Arcona]] in 37 ABY after the [[Dark Crusade]] to fill a very specific and unique role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It connects and directs the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency has at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] and the [[Dajorra Defence Force]]; only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces for joint operations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; and her crew spend long periods operating away from home, acting as [[Arcona|Arcona’s]] eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever come to be in a position to actually harm the Clan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some cases of reported threat, once orders have been received, the crew of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; are heavily trained in a vast manner of combat oriented skill sets to handle situations requiring immediate action, giving the Team the ability to respond swiftly and efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Characteristics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship is heavily modified from the original [[starwars:Agave-class|Agave-class]] design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, in addition to the modified hull, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; possesses a [[starwars:Cloaking Device|Cloaking Device]], allowing it to move undetected through enemy space. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to host a small complement of support craft. Thus far, there are two [[starwars:Nu-class|Nu-class]] attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own [[starwars:Stealth-X fighter|Stealth-X fighter]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented [[starwars:Hyperdrive|Hyperdrive]], a dedicated [[starwars:Artificial Intelligence|AI computer]], a [[starwars:Turbolaser|Long Range Turbolaser]] designed to be fitted on a [[starwars:Destroyer|Destroyer]], and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; has been designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that [[Teroch]] wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some members of the crew hope that if the rumour is true it will be a communal one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck One===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:captain&#039;s cabin.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Captin&#039;s Cabin.]]At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, it’s own en-suite [[starwars:refresher|refresher]], and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added to this is a desk and [[starwars:computer terminal|terminal]], a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Two===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Command deck.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Command Station]]The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. At the nose of the craft is the [[starwars:cockpit|cockpit proper]], where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward [[starwars:airlock|airlock]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic display of the sector of space the ship is occupying, as well as a full three dimensional display of the ship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aft of the Command station is the [[starwars:turbolift|turbo lift]], which usually has a pair of marines standing guard either side of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the rear portion of the craft is a small but fully equipped laboratory on the starboard side, and on the port side is an intelligence/communications salo for handling both the large volume of communications as well as housing the encryption department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the far rear is the [[starwars:holonet transceiver|holonet transceiver]] for secure communications with [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] top echelons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Three===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Crew Quarters.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Habitation Deck.]]The habitation deck comprises the largest section of the craft. At the fore of the craft is the currently-empty housing for the LR turbolaser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the Port is the [[starwars:executive officer|XO&#039;s]] office and quarters, and to the starboard is the [[starwars:medical bay|Medical Bay]]. The rear section of the Medical Bay also provides access to the [[starwars:computer core|Computer Core]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the centre of the deck is the dining and recreation area, with numerous tables, chairs and repeater displays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rear portion of the ship is taken up with the crew barrack, refreshers and the two observation decks, both port and starboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Four===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nighthawk engeneering.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Nighthawk&#039;s Reactor on Engineering level.]]Housing the oversized [[starwars:reactor|Reactor]], Deck Four is dominated by &#039;Engineering.&#039; A custom-designed [[starwars:Hypermatter reactor|Hypermatter Reactor]] was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it&#039;s many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as [[starwars:Life Support|Life Support]] and the [[starwars:Shield Generators|Shield Generators]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Five===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:nighthawk-hangar.png|200px|thumb|left|Nighthawk&#039;s Hangar.]]The lowest portion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; houses the [[starwars:Hangar|Hangar]] and the [[starwars:Armory|Armoury]]. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain&#039;s Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship&#039;s [[starwars:Quartermaster|Quartermaster]] oversees all supplies coming in and out of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it&#039;s not otherwise in use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modifications are what truly set the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; apart from every other ship in the galaxy. It was designed to be modular with a reactor far exceeding its base needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple [[Arcona|Arcona&#039;s]] military expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shotgun Hypertransciever===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Installed upon all Agave-class pickets, the shotgun Hypertranciever allows instantaneous and secure communications. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cloaking Device===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s primary form of defense is remaining undetected and whilst all Agave-class picket&#039;s stealth systems are formidable, the addition of a [[starwars:Stygium|Stygium]] Cloaking Device renders the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; undetectable to anything not equipped with a [[starwars:Crystal Gravfield Trap|Crystal Gravfield Trap]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Action==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is still being constructed, and as such, has yet to see combat. &lt;br /&gt;

Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]], two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], named Jasper and Ellie Corden, decided they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down and have a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, so they quickly took advantage of it and moved to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already pregnant, which was why they moved forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two once Imperial Officers enjoyed raising their daughter and teaching her the lifestyles they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.|Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She travelled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still travelled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that didn’t know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia travelled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can be very cocky in certain situations. Whenever she is not taking on a different persona, it slips out in great frequency; many a time getting her in trouble. While posing as someone else, however, all traces of herself are gone as she is 100% immersed into the role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia tells it like it is and doesn’t hold back, most of the time. She once explained that she hasn’t the time nor patience to sugar coat things for the ‘kids.’&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]], two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], named Jasper and Ellie Corden, decided they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down and have a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, so they quickly took advantage of it and moved to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already pregnant, which was why they moved forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two once Imperial Officers enjoyed raising their daughter and teaching her the lifestyles they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.|Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She travelled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still travelled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that didn’t know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia travelled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;

== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can be very cocky in certain situations. Whenever she is not taking on a different persona, it slips out in great frequency; many a time getting her in trouble. While posing as someone else, however, all traces of herself are gone as she is 100% immersed into the role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia tells it like it is and doesn’t hold back, most of the time. She once explained that she hasn’t the time nor patience to sugar coat things for the ‘kids.’&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]], two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], named Jasper and Ellie Corden, decided they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down and have a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, so they quickly took advantage of it and moved to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already pregnant, which was why they moved forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two once Imperial Officers enjoyed raising their daughter and teaching her the lifestyles they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.|Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She travelled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still travelled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that didn’t know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia travelled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Any continuity errors and/or canonical errors can be brought to Esca&#039;s attention before any alterations need be made.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can be very cocky in certain situations. Whenever she is not taking on a different persona, it slips out in great frequency; many a time getting her in trouble. While posing as someone else, however, all traces of herself are gone as she is 100% immersed into the role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia tells it like it is and doesn’t hold back, most of the time. She once explained that she hasn’t the time nor patience to sugar coat things for the ‘kids.’&lt;br /&gt;

== Interesting Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Arcia is the second complete character Esca has used in the DJB, following Ethran Sayre Isradia.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arcia was the first Light Side oriented character Esca has ever made, in or outside of the DJB, which ultimately ended up being Dark Side again.&lt;br /&gt;
*Though Arcia&#039;s optical implants resist any sort of outside influence, in the ACC this may not be the case at hand...&lt;br /&gt;
*Esca will be writing short fictions that go into more detail of Arcia&#039;s past missions and accomplishments. Stay tuned!&lt;br /&gt;

==Vessel Info==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a heavily modified [[starwars:Agave-class picket|Agave-class Picket]]. It was commissioned by [[Clan Arcona]] in 37 ABY after the [[Dark Crusade]] to fill a very specific and unique role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]]. It would connect and direct the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency had at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile. The ship was heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] and the [[Dajorra Defence Force]], only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces. The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; and her crew would spend long periods operating away from home, acting as Arcona’s eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever came to be in a position to actually harm the Clan. In some cases of reported threat, once orders have been received, the crew of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; are heavily trained in a vast manner of combat oriented skill sets to handle situations requiring immediate action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Characteristics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship was heavily modified from the original Agave-class design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades. So far, in addition to the modified hull, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; possesses a Cloaking Device, allowing it to move undetected through enemy space. Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to field a small complement of support craft. So far, there are two Nu-class attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own Stealth-X fighter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented Hyperdrive, a dedicated AI computer, a Long Range Turbolaser designed to be fitted on a Destroyer, and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that Teroch wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck One===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, it’s own en-suite refresher, and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). Added to this is a desk and terminal, a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Two===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. At the nose of the craft is the cockpit proper, where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward airlock. Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic display of the sector of space the ship is occupying, as well as a full three dimensional display of the ship. Aft of the Command station is the turbolift, which usually has a pair of marines standing guard either side of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the rear portion of the craft is a small but fully equipped laboratory on the starboard side, and on the port side is an intelligence/communications salo for handling both the large volume of communications as well as housing the encrypt department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the far rear is the holonet transceiver for secure communications with Arcona&#039;s top echelons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Three===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The habitation deck comprises the largest section of the craft. At the fore of the craft is the currently-empty housing for the LR turbolaser. to the Port is the XO&#039;s office and quarters, and to the starboard is the Medical Bay. The rear section of the medical bay also provides access to the computer core. In the centre of the deck is the dining and recreation area, with numerous tables, chairs and repeater displays. The rear portion of the ship is taken up with the crew barrack, refreshers and the two observation decks, both port and starboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Four===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Housing the oversized reactor, Deck Four is dominated by &#039;Engineering.&#039; A custom-designed Hypermatter reactor was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it&#039;s many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as Life Support and the Shield Generators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deck Five===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lowest portion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; houses the Hangar and the Armory. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain&#039;s Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship&#039;s Quartermaster oversees all supplies coming in and out of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it&#039;s not otherwise in use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modifications are what truly set the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; apart from every other ship in the galaxy. It was designed to be modular with a reactor far exceeding its base needs. Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple Arcona&#039;s military expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shotgun Hypertransciever===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Installed upon all Agave-class pickets, the shotgun Hypertranciever allows instantaneous and secure communications. The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cloaking Device===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s primary form of defense is remaining undetected and whilst all Agave-class picket&#039;s stealth systems are formidable, the addition of a Stygium Cloaking Device renders the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; undetectable to anything not equipped with a Crystal Gravfield Trap. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Action==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Nighthawk&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is still being constructed, and as such, has yet to see combat. &lt;br /&gt;

Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]], two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], named Jasper and Ellie Corden, decided they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down and have a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, so they quickly took advantage of it and moved to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already pregnant, which was why they moved forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two once Imperial Officers enjoyed raising their daughter and teaching her the lifestyles they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.|Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She travelled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still travelled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that didn’t know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia travelled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;

== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can be very cocky in certain situations. Whenever she is not taking on a different persona, it slips out in great frequency; many a time getting her in trouble. While posing as someone else, however, all traces of herself are gone as she is 100% immersed into the role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia tells it like it is and doesn’t hold back, most of the time. She once explained that she hasn’t the time nor patience to sugar coat things for the ‘kids.’&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]], two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], named Jasper and Ellie Corden, decided they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down and have a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, so they quickly took advantage of it and moved to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already pregnant, which was why they moved forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two once Imperial Officers enjoyed raising their daughter and teaching her the lifestyles they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.|Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She travelled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still travelled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that didn’t know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia travelled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;

== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can be very cocky in certain situations. Whenever she is not taking on a different persona, it slips out in great frequency; many a time getting her in trouble. While posing as someone else, however, all traces of herself are gone as she is 100% immersed into the role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia tells it like it is and doesn’t hold back, most of the time. She once explained that she hasn’t the time nor patience to sugar coat things for the ‘kids.’&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia Cortel is a former [[starwars:Human|Imperial]] and a current [[Obelisk|Obelisk Prelate]] of [[Galeres|House Galeres]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Having started along the path of the [[starwars:Dark_side_of_the_Force|Dark Side]], rising to the [[starwars:Light_side_of_the_Force|Light]] just to ultimately succumb to the Dark Side once again, Arcia has intimate knowledge of many different aspects of the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] and how to go about using it. She was forced to forever relive a lifetime of pain and torment during a short lived duel with a former Master, leading her to nearly mentally collapse and decide that the only way for her to ever best him, is to allow the Dark Side of the Force to completely take hold of her once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Bright Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY|4ABY]], two [[starwars:Imperial_officer|Officers]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]], named Jasper and Ellie Corden, decided they were at the point in the lives and careers to settle down and have a child. Both were outstanding Officers and were eligible to resign from their positions early, so they quickly took advantage of it and moved to Ellie&#039;s home, the fortress world of [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]]. Ellie was already pregnant, which was why they moved forward as quick as they could with their resignations, and nine months later, their daughter was born. Naming her Destri, the two once Imperial Officers enjoyed raising their daughter and teaching her the lifestyles they learned as children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anaxes.jpg|100px|thumb|left|The planet Anaxes.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Destri was old enough to be eligible for schooling, she had already been able to test out of many different courses of study and was on the road to graduating early, which is why [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Imperial Academy]] Recruiters began to closely monitor her. By [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|20ABY]], Destri maintained her status as top of class and by the age of 16, she graduated with all outstanding honors from her studies and applied to join the Imperial Academy due to her exquisite test results, intelligence and demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even months after applying, Destri was accepted, having learned what to expect already from her parents and was ready to make her mark in the Imperial Navy. When being taken to the Academy shuttles, Destri encountered her first [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force user]]. All common sense immediately drained from her, having only heard of such people in stories and she instinctively reached out towards the man&#039;s [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. In a blinding flash, the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] drew and ignited his saber pointing the crimson blade directly at the girl. Destri stood strong, fearless in the eyes of a much greater man, bringing the Sith to frown, wondering why she did not run in fright as many did in such a situation. Chuckling to himself, the Sith turned, sheathed his weapon and went on his way, leaving Destri to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Having been raised by Officers early in her life, Destri somewhat knew what to expect when it came to [[starwars:Imperial_Academy|Academy]] life. It was difficult, yet informative; easy to succeed on the correct route, even easier to fail without proper guidance. With her excellence in previous schooling, Destri was able to complete most of her initial training with ease, above most others in her class yet again. The more aged recruits scorned her due to her age in life and her knowing more and performing better than them. It was due to this reason and her success thus far in the Academy, that she was chosen to be her training squads leader for the duration of her stay at the Academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came time to start learning the arts of combat, Destri began to falter. She did not have the physical prowess as most others did, to which they showed her time and time again to keep her knowing of that fact, but where she lacked in the strength to stand toe to toe with her fellow peers, she had the reflexes far superior than any other to keep herself out of the situations requiring strength. Her far above average dexterity paired with her sheer intelligence on any situation placed before her, Destri continued to outperform her squad in many of the physical training exercises as well as the standard course work. This slowly came to fruition when her squad was performing an exercise for visiting officials and a few of them started taking note in her ability to adapt to any situation without much time to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destri spent two years training in the Academy as well as being sent to her advanced schooling facilities to learn more about signals analysis and how to insert into enemy territory and erect communications devices for use on the battlefield. So with this training, she learned more of how the communications field worked as well as learning how to keep herself hidden and to blend into the crowd as needed by taking on different persona. When finished with her initial and advanced training around [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|22ABY]], Destri was placed into the [[starwars:Imperial_Navy|Imperial Navy]] as a Lieutenant in a desk oriented job, against her every fighting will, to assist in handling the orders of different strike teams to insert and erect the communications devices that she had become rather knowledgeable of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her disagreement widely known, Destri continued to perform her duties to the best of her abilities, making sure that each job was placed with Imperial Officers and soldiers whose dossier&#039;s reflected to be the best choice for the jobs assigned. Even though she disagreed with her placement, all of her superiors continued to tell her that this was a foot in the door for administrative options as well as being viewed by another department for further progression in the Imperial Navy. In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|25ABY]], after some time completing her job, getting a promotion as well as various medals and awards for overseeing the completion of different missions, Destri was approached by two ranking Imperial Officers while traveling to her place of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commander Rizon and Captain Roche were both a part of [[starwars:Imperial_Intelligence|Imperial Intelligence]] and told Destri that she was being watched ever since her first year in the Academy. Everything that she had accomplished in the Navy was a &#039;test&#039; of sorts to see if she would be proper for an offer that they carried with them. After a short meeting, Destri was taken to the offices of Imperial Intelligence for further discussion. It was there, that Destri was offered a place in the Imperial Intelligence as an Agent, but first and foremost, a massive promotion to the rank of Captain and was transferred to the [[starwars:Imperial_communications_ship|Communications Dreadnaught]] &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was there where Destri was in direct connection with a single strike team assigned to infiltrate enemy forces and disrupt communications to allow for a military occupation. On the side, she would relay information back and forth between the remaining groups of [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|ISB Agents]], due to working with one of the most advanced communications and holonet devices in the Imperial Navy aboard her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next two years were rather uneventful until she was placed in an unfortunate situation upon a recently occupied planet where a massive revolt occurred without warning. Knowing that her uniform would be a blatant scream of her being an Officer in the Imperial Navy, she quickly stripped down to her under clothes and grabbed the closest set of civilian clothing possible. Her only goal now was to escape the planet before any orbital bombardment could occur to quell the revolt, so she used her training from the past to quickly come up with a persona and meet up with members of the revolt to secure passage off the planet. While on this personal mission, she recorded everything she did on a datapad, including information on the revolt, who was leading it, where they received their supplies from and more. When finally back aboard the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039;, she returned to uniform and sent her datapad entries to Imperial Intelligence for further review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now a Major, Corden received great praise from her superiors and was offered a once in a life time opportunity that would change her life forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Life in Shadows ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Major Corden&#039;s official dossier, in the later part of [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY|27ABY]] she went MIA during a training mission with her squadron. Several searches and investigations occurred in attempt to locate her, but were officially halted after orders from [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|Imperial High Command]] were issued to cease all search and rescue missions. A funeral ceremony was conducted both on the &#039;&#039;Silent Runner&#039;&#039; as well as on her homeworld of Anaxes in commemoration to her outstanding service to the Imperial Navy, with both of her parents in attendance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an undisclosed location, Destri met with her superiors from Imperial Intelligence after awaking from a drug induced coma. They explained to her that she was taken from her position in the Imperial Navy, falsely declared as dead and stricken from Imperial record to further be of use for II as a [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher Agent]]. While working for Imperial Intelligence on sanctioned or unsanctioned missions, she would go by no name, other than that given to her in dossiers at &#039;drop boxes&#039; or locations rigged for secure transmissions. With all of the training in covert operations, weapons use and communications espionage, she was the perfect choice at being the newest addition to the Cipher ranks. Understanding her new job and position fully, Destri opted to have optical [[starwars:Cybernetics|cybernetics]] implanted to give her more of an advantage in darkly lit areas, as well as the ability to scan, monitor and disrupt many different communications frequencies when approached. Both of her eyes were replaced with such implants and were backed by state of the art electromagnetic resistances to ensure that her vision would not be disrupted by any means. The downside to these implants, as she was warned frequently before, during and after the surgery, is that they had their own rechargeable power sources that would require additional attachments to her temples. After just a few short hours, the power supplies would be fully recharged and she would be able to work without the secondary attachments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Hence forth you shall be known as Cipher X02|Imperial High Command}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given her designation, she began working towards an ultimate goal unbeknownst to her. Each job she was given was overseen by a [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lord]] by the name of Zeklynd Csularin, the very Sith she encountered before she left for the Academy. Having never met him, however, she did not know this until a year passed by in the field when she was approached directly by the man. He explained that during her missions, both as a Cipher and as an Imperial Officer, she was noticed to have used special &#039;influence&#039; to get things done her way without any additional quarrel, aside from her eye catching figure, of course. Cipher X02 knew of this, but was unsure how she went about doing so only fully noticing the use of her body as a weapon. To her, all she did was &#039;emphasize&#039; her words when speaking with others and they would follow orders, give up information, do things they would normally not, on her every whim. Zeklynd educated Cipher X02 that it was through the Force that she was able to manipulate others and that doing so in such manners was his expertise. He then offered to take the woman under his wing and teach her more of the powers the Force and the Dark Side would give her, to which she quickly agreed, still being greatly fascinated by Force users; now being given the opportunity and the knowledge that she, too, can become something she praised so much. With their agreement, Zeklynd bestowed upon her the name of Sephren, sealing their fates together as Master and Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the course of the next three years ending approximately [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|31ABY]], Sephren went by many names, accomplishing many missions for both the Imperial High Command as well as her new Sith Master. During these years, Zeklynd began teaching his Apprentice many forms of persuasion, manipulation, becoming even more with the shadows that she hid in, all to better achieve her goals as a Cipher and as a [[starwars:Sith_apprentice|Sith Apprentice]]. When Zeklynd deemed her ready enough, he even offered her his old Lightsaber as a token of good faith towards her further training and taught her the art of saber combat, emphasizing her ability of speed and acrobatics. She learned quickly to use her saber, though the hand me down didn&#039;t feel comfortable to her. Noticing this, Zeklynd sent her to an ancient Sith world, full of raw crystals and Force spirits to learn the art of creating her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was here, on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], that Sephren, formerly known as Destri Corden, created her first personal lightsaber after communing with a holocron containing an unnamed [[starwars:Force_ghost|Sith Weapon-master’s spirit]]. What she crafted was an intricately made hilt, with curves and etchings all across the sides emphasizing her connection with the shadows and the Dark Side of the Force. When she began to leave the archaic tomb in which she built her saber, half a dozen Force spirits shimmered to life, beckoning her to challenge them, sealing her fate with her saber. After a rigorous battle, tuning herself with her saber, Sephren emerged from the tomb, tattered and torn from the punishment received. Calling out to her Master through the Force, he arrived with his personal ship, the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039;, taking Sephren away from Korriban and towards their next mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely a few months passed from the creation of her own saber before a mission arose that was to impact Sephren&#039;s life forever. She was paired up with another Cipher Agent whom she had worked with many times before and had started becoming more and more attached to, even though it was forbidden between Agents. Cipher 23, as he was known by now, was an expert in hand to hand combat and linguistics, thus was instrumental for the mission at hand. The task for the two Ciphers was to infiltrate a heavily guarded installation, all inhabitants of which spoke no common languages, and steal a state of the art design for a new type of star cruiser. The mission was to be lengthy, being under cover for anywhere up to a year. So the two Agents prepared with their new identities and supplies to make their way into the installation and complete their mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During their time undercover, Sephren and Cipher 23, going by the names of Qi Dai and Yun Singe, were able to gather the information needed to successfully infiltrate the installation and pass of as militants, particularly security officers that would have access to all areas of the facility. The mission was a lot easier than they had expected and been given more time allotted than needed, they extended their stay on the beautiful planet they were sent to as sort of a &#039;relaxation&#039; period of sorts. The two grew very close, knowing it was forbidden yet not caring of the fact, and after a few months together after the mission, ended up laying together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short period of time before the two were to return to Imperial High Command, Cipher 23 simply vanished. With no word nor sign of where he went, Sephren realized the plans she had lifted from the facility were copied; most likely by Cipher 23 before he disappeared. Knowing that she would be reprimanded severely, Sephren choked up the courage and set forth on her way back to [[starwars:Imperial_High_Command|IHC]]. As she expected, she was severely reprimanded and punished, not being able to perform any missions any longer with the Imperial Intelligence command, giving her more of an opportunity to study and train with Zeklynd, who was also disappointed at the minor failure of her mission. It was only another few months later when Sephren&#039;s speculations of her body were apparent to her; she was with child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== One Life Taken, Two Lives Destroyed ===&lt;br /&gt;
The year was [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|32ABY]], Sephren was now 28 years of age and pregnant with child. To her surprise, Zeklynd refused to be around her, acting very very strange whenever their eyes ever did meet in passing. Even though [[starwars:Cipher_Agent|Cipher 23]] had vanished, which crushed Sephren&#039;s emotions, the news of child brought her spirits back full force and she was ecstatic to give birth to a new life. As a few months passed on, Sephren began to see Zeklynd less and less, though the cold sensations of the Force continued to wrap around her when she thought of her Master. She continued to brush it off until there was a day when she passed by his personal quarters aboard the &#039;&#039;Spectre&#039;&#039; and heard Zeklynd yelling about some sort of possible prophecy that would bring end to a Sith Lord, one that must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearful, Sephren didn&#039;t know how to react or what to do, not wanting to harm the child growing within her. She made her way to the bridge of the ship, intent on securing an escape pod to remove herself and her unborn child from the reach of a madman, but was unable to due to security measures that even she could not identify nor break. Without warning, she was lifted off her feet by forces unknown and slammed into the bulkhead nearest to her right side, crashing her back into various electronic paneling. With a sharp cry, Sephren instinctively brought her hands to guard the child within her and pushed out with the Force to allow herself to drop from the foreign attack, drawing her saber in one fluid motion. She was immediately met by a crimson saber that flashed her back to her childhood days, realizing that it was Zeklynd attacking her without warning. Strike after strike wore the young woman to the ground, not having the physical prowess to withstand such an onslaught. Her saber was quickly stripped from her hands and she was forced to look eye to eye with the blood crazed Sith Lord as he grabbed the scruff of her shirt and drew her in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|I will not let that child be born...|Zeklynd Csularin, Sith}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful of crys erupted through the Force from both Sephren and her unborn child as she felt Zeklynd wrap the Force around the baby within her and squeeze. Psychically feeling the child crumple against the sheer force of the Sith Lord before her caused her throw up in pain and agony, blood spewing from her lower portion unto the durasteel plated flooring beneath her. The final jolt of agony was displayed when Zeklynd [[starwars:Telekinesis|ripped the remains of the child out of Sephren with aide of the Force]] and dropped it to the floor in a bloody heap. Sephren could not make a sound, the pain too terrible to react to as she began to fade into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Zeklynd leaning over her with a dark hood, then it all went black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sephren was taken to a location far from the reaches of any law enforcement of any kind and was imprisoned indefinitely. She did not speak, feed, or even move for weeks after being thrown into her tiny cell, which seemingly became smaller and smaller each day she remained. In order to try and keep her sanity, Sephren placed herself into a meditative state to try and preserve whatever mind she had left as well as heal the damage that had been done to her by Zeklynd, however, due to the considerable amount of physical and mental damage done to her, [[starwars:Sever_Force|she could not properly connect to the Force]] to do so. She eventually began eating the rot that was given to her, as it was the only means of sustenance, when Zeklynd appeared before her in her cell. He simply watched her, it having been nearly a month since she was thrown into confinement and he chuckled. Turning to his lead guard, he ordered him to take Sephren to the barracks to give the soldiers some &#039;relief.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To her horror, Sephren, too weak to fight back with the Force, was taken to the military barracks, clothing torn and ragged, and was thrown into the fray. She was immediately seized by one of the larger guards and the remainder of her outer garments were torn from her. With a cry she attempted to fight back only to receive a swift blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and causing her vision to fade. Not knowing what was happening at that point, she felt herself thrown onto a table as the guard began to have his way with her.  Repeatedly for the remainder of the day, she was abused and raped by the majority of the soldiers in the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When finally thrown back into her cell, broken and sobbing, she heard whispers to her from a cell next to her own. The words were calm, smooth, composed. They told her it would all be better in time and to shut herself out of her own body when they came to take her again. The voice was there to help, it said, and Sephren believed it. The voice even ‘coached’ her into relearning her connection to the Force and through that training, a slow track to healing ensued. Sure enough, over the course of the next year, Sephren was taken multiple times throughout the weeks to be raped, broken and abused by the soldiers as a trophy for their own successes. From time to time, Sephren was also tortured for the sake of enjoyment of others, ending up with various scars and burns across her body and face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33ABY]], Sephren sat in the center of her cell, completely in a meditative state as she had been since the beatings became worse midway through the year. She didn&#039;t even acknowledge being taken anymore, as there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she ever listened to was the voice that helped her fight her own internal battles and regain her [[starwars:Force_attunement|attunement to the Force, though not fully connecting as she once was]]. The voice had told her a few months prior that an attack on the facility they were imprisoned in would be taking place soon and that help may arrive. She just needed to stay alive. It was that hope that caused Sephren to close herself off to the world so that she wouldn&#039;t anger anyone or anything enough to kill her outright; the hope of rescue was enough to keep her going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day finally came when the alarm klaxons sprang to life in the installation and explosions rang out, snapping Sephren out of her meditative trance to look around, her eyes wild. She had forgotten how long she had been imprisoned, only that her and the voice were best of friends. Guards and soldiers cried out in the halls around her as they were shot, cut down, thrown out of windows by forces unknown. When Sephren&#039;s cell door opened, she looked up expecting to see Zeklynd come to finish her off, but instead it was the face of a much older man, abused and torn the same as hers. He offered a hand, to which she took reluctantly and was taken from the prison that became her hell for over a year of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reborn of Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
The man that offered his hand of assistance to Sephren went by the name of Okan Corinya, a [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Master of the Jedi Order]]. He spoke at length with Sephren, helping her regain her composure and trying to help her forget everything that had happened to her while imprisoned. Even though he knew of her past, he knew that she was punished for it already and wanted to help her find the right path to take at this point in time, offering to teach her what he had learned from the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] in his life. She weakly accepted, not knowing what she would do without him and realized that she would need a new name, Sephren being the tie to cut from the Dark Side of the Force and Destri Corden being a name many Imperials would be looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the name Arcia Cortel, the name she would have given her daughter, she went with Jedi Master Okan to learn the ways of the Force again and to change her life for the better. To her, the girl that was imprisoned had died in there and she was a newly reborn woman bathed in Light. While traveling with Okan, Arcia met a master weaponsmith that claimed to be able to create any sort of weapon out of anything. So to challenge this man, she took her previous Master’s old saber and her own custom built saber and told the man to create two blasters out of the metals he would get from melting down the plating and power them with the crystals and focusing lenses from the sabers of her old life. Excited to work with such devices, the man quickly went to work. He melted the saber plating down, molded pieces into that for blaster pistol construction and inserted the crystals as the bolt charging devices. As added flair, he made the twin blasters able to connect together to create a very high powered rifle. Arcia quickly paid the man for his time with what little she had remaining from her stash while traveling with Zeklynd over the years, sadly wiped the man’s mind of having ever designed and crafted such a pair of weapons, and went on her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, Arcia worked with Okan to become one with herself, as well as the Force, and to use her powers for the greater good. Knowing what she had accomplished in her life as a Sith as well as an Imperial Agent, Arcia was sworn to never allow someone she knew to fall into the darkness that she grew into at the early stages of her life. So with the teachings of Master Corinya, she found that the powers she grew to use under Zeklynd could be turned around to be used for the Light; healing instead of harming, teaching instead of taking. This brought a wave of calm over the woman, knowing that her life was not lost, simply reborn. She also took this time to craft herself a new saber that had no connection to the darkness that she embraced many years ago, its blade a shimmer of green, rather than the crimson red that signified her connection to Zeklynd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling the galaxy with Okan, Arcia began hearing of a large gathering of Dark Jedi controlling several system of planets. She learned of this information from a smaller group of Jedi who believed they could be infiltrated and Arcia quickly sought them out, with the good graces from her new Jedi Master. Okan told Arcia that there was nothing else he could teach her and that she had come a long way since first speaking with her in the prison. She had once been a being full of hate, darkness and disarray. Yet now, she was composed, calm and more pure than she had ever been in her life. She was ready to venture off on her own, almost as a child would leave home for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, come the later part of [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|35ABY]], 32 year old Arcia Cortel ventured into the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]], specifically the Yhi System, to seek out the group known as Odan Urr to offer her aide in their struggle against the Dark Side of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A Light Snuffed Out ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Destri is gone...Sephren is dead...and you can join her.||Arcia Cortel confronting Zeklynd}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia unfortunately didn&#039;t take to the teachings of Odan Urr as she expected she would and, after offering minimal assistance against the Dark Brotherhood, decided to part ways after only a short stay with the group of Jedi. She travelled the Galaxy, searching for anything to link her to a past devastation and ultimately met her lifelong journey’s end on [[starwars:Vjun|Vjun]]. Arcia will never be able to explain why she went to the planet, only that a strong calling through the Force beckoned for her to venture out into the controlled regions of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still travelled with her old belongings, including her uniform of service and went through great means to make herself presentable as an Officer once again, ensuring to make her Intelligence badge visible to keep any questions from being asked. This would allow her to breeze by any lower ranking patrols that didn’t know her face, giving her access to the deeper regions of the surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made her way towards a strong presence in the Force, doing her best to suppress her own presence in hopes she would gain the element of surprise when confronting the man whose power she recognized from past horrors. Tension within the woman elevated with every step she took towards a standing fortress causing her to rethink her actions, but continuing with a sense of duty to herself; she would have her revenge one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not many details have been recovered regarding the encounter between Arcia and her past, only that she discovered her former Master Zeklynd and little words were exchanged before the greatest fight of her life ensued. Unfortunately, her powers and grasp of the Light Side of the Force were not enough for her to carry out her will. She was nearly struck down and mentally devastated by the counter attack Zeklynd threw at her. Narrowly escaping with her life, Arcia fled, nearly broken and knowing she would have to rediscover her old self before confronting the man again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Selen_kelantar14.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Selen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia left Vjun a changed person. She no longer held true to the teachings of Okan, nor to her past as Zeklynd’s Apprentice. Arcia secluded herself in her ship, adrift in space, placing herself into a deep meditative state; contemplating and reviewing her life up to this point. She was adrift for weeks before finally being discovered by a passing ship on it’s way to the [[Dajorra_System|Dajorra System]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was explained to her that while in her meditative state, she occasionally emitted a wave through the Force in the immediate vicinity of her ship, which the owner of the Dajorra bearing ship picked up on. He introduced himself as Teroch and informed Arcia that he had scanned the databanks of her ship, including decrypting her private files, as he wished to know if she was to be a threat before approaching. Teroch admired her past experience in the field of Intelligence and the various missions she undertook under the cloak of shadow. She was just the type of person he was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After coming to an agreement where Teroch would assist her in elevating her hold of the Dark Side in exchange for her special skill sets, Arcia travelled with Teroch to [[Selen]], where she was introduced to the summit of Clan Arcona and performed various tests and answered questions of her past, her present as well as what she expected the future to bring. After all was said and done, she was admitted into [[House Galeres]] and granted their rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]], as her tests had proven her to be worthy of such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now having a home of sorts and a means of moving forward, Arcia works her hardest to ‘fit in’ with the Shadow Clan and perform her duties to the best of her abilities. With rumor of a newly outfitted reconnaissance ship overseen by the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]], Arcia has been appointed Executive Officer as well as maintaining the various personnel dossiers that are associated with the ship.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Any continuity errors and/or canonical errors can be brought to Esca&#039;s attention before any alterations need be made.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia can be very cocky in certain situations. Whenever she is not taking on a different persona, it slips out in great frequency; many a time getting her in trouble. While posing as someone else, however, all traces of herself are gone as she is 100% immersed into the role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcia tells it like it is and doesn’t hold back, most of the time. She once explained that she hasn’t the time nor patience to sugar coat things for the ‘kids.’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personal Weaponry ==&lt;br /&gt;

== Interesting Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Arcia is the second complete character Esca has used in the DJB, following Ethran Sayre Isradia.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arcia was the first Light Side oriented character Esca has ever made, in or outside of the DJB, which ultimately ended up being Dark Side again.&lt;br /&gt;
*Though Arcia&#039;s optical implants resist any sort of outside influence, in the ACC this may not be the case at hand...&lt;br /&gt;
*Esca will be writing short fictions that go into more detail of Arcia&#039;s past missions and accomplishments. Stay tuned!&lt;br /&gt;
