Species: Chiss
Name: Crezci’eri’ando (Cieria, pronounced like Syria)
Rank: Admiral of the 417th Republic Navy
Personality/bio: Cieria is a woman that expects results and has no time for failure. Those that frequently fail are seen as weak by her and she is quick to replace them. She is a cold and calculating Admiral with a keen strategic mind. She can find her way around almost any obstacle on the battlefield both in space and on the ground. While not a strong fighter with a blaster, she can fly a ship as if she was born with wings. She even outclasses some Jedi in a fighter.
She also knows what it is like to be alone. As a very young child she was stranded outside of Chiss space after a battle with pirates. Her family was exploring the known galaxy for new planets to spread Chiss influence. With her parents dead and no way to return home she was found by a smuggler from the Outer Rim of Republic Space. Despite his profession, he was immensely loyal to the Republic and was often taking jobs from the government to bring aid to planets in need. Especially in Hutt Space.
Her adopted father raised her during these supply runs and she quickly learned to fly and calculate the best ways to get the job done. She lost her enthusiasm about the job in her late teens when a pirate gang killed her adopted parent and began terrorizing the planets in the local systems. Over the next six years she gathered herself a quite sizeable militia of both civilian and military vessels. Her favorite was the early prototype Venator that she stole from the pirate gang. (Which they had stolen from the Kuati Shipyards.)
By the time she was 24 she was famous throughout the galaxy as a naval leader. She lead her militia against multiple pirate gangs including the Black Sun. Due to what she called incompetence, an officer she hired on the wishes of her advisers got over half of her fleet killed during a batlle in which she was not present. From then on it became extremely hard for the people around her to gain her trust. Two years before the Battle of Geonosis, at the age of 26, she left the militia she created and moved to Kuat where she studied the new Venator Class Star Destroyers.
She was approached by Count Dooku to be a leader in the Separatist armada but refused because of her still deep loyalty to the Republic. Instead after the battle of Geonosis she decided to enlist in the new Grand Army of the Republic. Chancellor Palpatine himself gave her the rank of Admiral and put her in charge of the 417th Navy. He said he saw great potential in the woman and that he would be watching her career eagerly.
She seems to like the Clones, they get their job done and follow orders. So far almost none of them have been incompetent, though they have yet to enter into battle.
