Character History

"My family wasn’t exactly traditional. We have five military officers."

―Lizelle to Commodore Sulaco

Early Life

Lizelle was born as the third youngest child in the Skirota family, in Estle City. She had served as a junior officer in the Emperor’s Hammer fleet, and her father had been an officer in the Fleet as well. She moved with the rest of her family to Selen with Clan Arcona, where she resumed her military career.

Lizelle did not attend the officer’s academy, having learned her leadership skills with the Emperor’s Hammer. She was shipped to Arconae Primus right away, at the age of 27. There, she joined the 14th Skirmishing Infantry Brigade as Assistant Brigade Commander, serving for two years.

Brigade Commander

In 22 ABY, Lizelle was promoted to Brigade Commander. She became a Brigade Commander a year before her younger brother, Lizair. Lizelle was a calm and calculating officer, and spent a lot of her time relaxing with her troopers. The time that was not spent relaxing was spent in relentless drilling, creating an effective balance for troop training.

In 25 ABY, she was promoted to Assistant Division Commander of Division VIII, aged 32. Lizelle was still youthfully exuberant, and had learned a lot about the military from her time as Brigade commander. She helped establish the garrison on Arconae Primus.

Division Commander

In 26 ABY, Lizelle was promoted to Division Commander. The previous had been promoted to a position in the Army of the Iron Throne, which was a great honor not afforded to many Arconan officers. Lizelle picked up the slack quickly, and proved to be just as skilled a Division Commander as the previous.

When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded in 27 ABY, Lizelle displayed her typical calm and cunning to help lead her troops through. However, Division VIII was caught in a difficult position, and many soldiers were killed by the ruthless enemy. The Division, however, was afforded sanctuary among the nomadic fleet, and Lizelle resumed her division’s training aboard the fleet.

Personality

Lizelle was an exuberant officer, even into her mid thirties. She was calm and calculating, a good commander and one of the well known Skirata family. She loved to relax and have fun with her troops, and was friendly to all the other officers, especially her subordinates.
