Asra Lyn stands at a fairly regular 5’6” ( 170 cm ). She presents a tidy representation of what an imperial officer should look like, with a well-fitted and meticulously tended uniform, her long blond hair tied back into a neat and unimposing braid.

She is by no means an imposing figure, instead rather slim and non-athletic. Her eyes can be likened to those of a cat, an intrigued, predatory gleam housed in her moss-green eyes. This is further suffused with her trim eyebrows and high cheekbones, the sharpness of the former giving her an impressive expressive range. Her smooth and pale skin give solid indications as to her lack of hard labor and preference for artificial light.


A talented negotiator and diplomatic official; she operates at an advanced level on several different negotiation techniques. Employs good use of intuition and insight in switching between available methods to come out ahead in a discussion. Also displays a talent for visual and emotional manipulation, but has not received formal training.

Considerable breadth of knowledge on the workings of trade, political etiquette as well as extra-legal operations, and a critical thinker in ordinarily hard-to-conquer issues.

Speaks additional languages beyond Galactic Basic Standard. On file;
Huttese ( Intermediate )
Dosh ( Novice )
Durese ( Novice )

Basic piloting ability, barely qualified.


Beyond basic training, Asra has no recorded skill or noted experience in any form of combat or weapons knowledge. As a non-combatant, she has not received any further training on the subject. She has completed all mandatory sessions and courses, most with low to middling marks.

She is a member of a shockboxing association on Centares but does not participate in competitive matches nor actively practice. Any skill in melee combat is entirely imaginary.



Officially deployed as a diplomatic attaché to Centares. However, Lieutenant Asra Lyn has considerable operational leeway unless specifically attached to an operation. Her operational objective is to facilitate the acquisition of resources deemed important for the imperial administration’s continued welfare, and to actively pursue technology and materials of interest through all available diplomatic and informal channels. On occasion she has been deployed to pursue specific relics or items relating to Sith interests.

The purpose of her deployment is to represent vested imperial interests in the acquisition of specific goods, or when not under direct order – the continued growth of imperial resource pools.



Asra has low to middling political influence, and arguably lacks any real power to exert over others or to climb in the imperial hierarchy – outside a lucky promotion, of course. She does engage in extensive deal-making and favor-trading, but such agreements are generally informal and based on exchange of goods and services rather than political or military favor. She has no prestige from ancestry or outside influence and remains a relatively unknown civil servant in the grand scheme of things.

She associates extensively with criminal or otherwise non-imperial elements, both through subcontracted work and networking. Her station means she has enough official sway to entice mercenary contractors and organize low-brow trouble with a holo-call.

Particularly she associates with the local branch of the Red Venom Clan, an extensive network of organized criminals dealing primarily with smuggling and violent crime in and out of Hutt Space. They have ties to the Hutt Cartel through a network of deals and trades, and frequently operate as muscle for Cartel-affiliated elements closer to Hutt Space. They have established footholds as far as Nar Shaddaa and Sriluur.

Furthermore she has extensive control over the Val’shan Trading Initiative, a registered trading organization from Nar Shaddaa. Under the guise of pilots and merchants, Asra has staffed the corporation with likeminded individuals who operate outside the sphere of the imperial administration. The corporation engages in overt criminal activity in Hutt Space at her behest, while doubling as transportation for important high-value goods when Asra Lyn’s mission requires it.



Captain Kal Varron – A male human captain in the Republic Navy. Commanding officer of a convoy of Republic trade vessels with escort captured by criminal elements in 3 ATC travelling the Perlimian Trade Route. The assault on his convoy led to loss of life of republic-aligned personnel, and Asra Lyn took it upon herself during the engagement to make her presence known. Kal Varron is trying to rally his compatriots against the Empire using this incident, but if he cannot, he might settle for a more personal vengeance.

Diplomatic Envoy Tahir Enoa – A female human diplomatic corps envoy with several listed incident reports and complaints relating to Lieutenant Asra Lyn. According to reports filed both ways, the two women regularly engage in departmental sabotage, social bullying and discrediting campaigns against one another. It appears to originate around a superior assigning Lieutenant Lyn to Envoy Enoa’s negotiation early in the Lieutenant’s career. Though the negotiation was successful it marks the first formal complaint about Asra Lyn’s demeanour.



Rassk – A male trandoshan bounty hunter affiliated with the Red Venom Clan. Rassk can be regularly seen with Asra when both are present on Centares, sometimes replacing official escort personnel. The trandoshan has participated in imperial security details as contracted mercenary support, mainly for operations spearheaded by Lieutenant Asra Lyn. He is wanted in republic space for several criminal acts, mainly piracy, murder, and armed robbery.

Lazal Ke – A male duros with ties to criminal elements on Centares. Officially registered in imperial records with a trading and pilot’s license, trading for the Val’shan Trading Initiative, a relatively small corporation registered on Nar Shaddaa. Lazal Ke can often be seen in informal settings hanging around Asra Lyn when the two are on the same planet, and Lazal Ke appears to be Asra’s second-in-command when it comes to the operations of the corporation, allowing her to effectively remove herself from the official process.



Villa Lyn – Asra Lyn owns a spacious and luxurious villa in the administrative quarter of Muracie, the capital city of Centares. Due to imperial construction standards and safety reasons, the estate can be likened to a miniature fortress, but has been heavily modified to focus on aesthetics. It hosts a similarly beautified interior, with a grand ballroom to host lavish parties and informal business ventures.

Val’shan Trading Initiative – Though ownership of the Initiative is officially divided over a slew of shareholders - of which Asra is one - Asra Lyn maintains close control of the corporation's operations through a combination of a sizeable minority of shares, and extensive office subterfuge. Val'shan Trading Initiative offices include a sizeable warehouse and trade office as well as employee apartments, all located neatly in the Corellian Sector on Nar Shaddaa. The company subcontracts pilots to complete transportation contracts, and irregularly hires mercenaries to carry out various less-than-legal actions.

Asra has no registered vehicles for personal use but makes consistent use of both navy and imperial administration vessels for transportation. She frequently registers as a passenger on flights with the Val’shan Trading Initiative.



Asra Lyn appears to be fiercely loyal to the Empire and does her utmost to present an unapproachable, pristine record. She seems to revel in the ideology of power that lays the groundwork for the imperial administration, and openly extols the virtues of the imperial way of life. She is supportive of her peers when it is beneficial to her but also appears to have no issue reporting on her colleagues.

Despite her apparent love for the service, she is keen to deal outside the boundaries set by her office and thrives when deals are informal and without paper trails. She enjoys being a confidant, and regularly joins or forms social circles within established hierarchies to establish an informal foothold. These informal circles are breeding grounds for information-sharing, favor-trading and interdepartmental scandal gossip. She appears to have a vicarious fascination with violence and criminal behavior, and regularly finds herself involved with individuals of questionable civility.

Furthermore, she appears paradoxically fascinated with weaponry, and despite an aggressive lack of skill with blasters she is always excited to see a new weapon get tested or watch an explosion in movies and on a warfront alike.

In stressed situations however, this sly and ingratiating demeanor quickly fades away, and she easily panics when faced with the idea of actual danger.



Snake in the Grass – Asra Lyn is a duplicitous individual. Double-dealing, back-stabbing and lying comes naturally to her, and she revels in exercising her power in any measure that becomes available to her. This arguably sours any long-term relation and has built her an informal reputation.

Easy to Please – With a social craving that borders on the narcissistic comes a certain affection for praise. She is prone to position herself favorably to someone who compliments her, praises her work, or otherwise puts effort into realizing her desired image.

Willfully Ignorant – Asra’s smug attitude when she thinks she’s being sly does not always reflect positively on her. She can be quite obnoxious, and is drawn to exercise behavior that makes her appear better than her peers, while always prepared to play the part of loyal soldier and innocent victim.
