In Brief
Elaine von Veritrax was an Tresarian Military Official, she started her career in the Akheton Corporation prior to taking up her cause with the Tresarian government following the sale of Akheton to the Trade Federation, a former member of the Imperial Union. Upon her acceptance and graduation from the Tresarian Academy she was subsequently transferred to the Tresarian Fleet where her past experiences as a member of Akheton's immersive and successful production and construction experiences were tapped into and developed even further. After serving in Tresario, Elaine took to the Empire seeking to dedicate herself to become a permanent fixture in the machine of Imperial effectiveness. Quickly securing a position in the Regional Government, Elaine has attracted the eye of many an officer, for both her efficiency in work and her ability to execute tasks whilst anticipating future needs, resulting in her "being one to keep an eye on."
Beginning Chapters
Early Years
![]() |
Hapes - Elaines birthplace. |
Elaine was born to a moderately powerful Hapan family who relocated when Elaine was young to another world within the Hapes Cluster. There the house slowly expanded its wealth and power under the guide of her paternal grandfather. However the success enjoyed by the family was short lived, for upon the death of her grandfather power passed to her father who squandered their wealth and was bullied by members of the household and the family slowly decayed into lack luster renown as her mother began openly having affairs and minor families rose up against the House Veritrax. Elaines grandmother fearing this weakness fled to Naboo with her granddaughter and raised her there teaching her the arts of business and warfare in hopes that Elaine would rekindle the fire that once flowed in the veins of her ancestors.
Akheton
Elaine's days on Naboo were long for most of her life, her grandmother's had set about training her to ensure her a position of power in the Corporate government that controlled Naboo for later in her life. When Elaine turned 18, her diligence and devotion to excellence in her youth came to fruition as the company was all to eager to take her as an employee driving her to develop factories and production operations Elaine saw lines of production streamlined and made more effective. However the success in Akheton much like the success of her grandfather was short lived when the majority shareholders sold to the Trade Federation resulting in the acquisition and subsequent merger of Akheton into the Trade conglomerate.
Arrival to Tresario
Space was cold as ever for Elaine as she lay curled up in her bed on her Starrunner-class Starship Vendrix. It was in hyperspace to Tresario Kingdom space from Naboo, Tresario, her new home. She was eager to begin life anew, leaving her old Corporate life behind after Akheton’s board members voted to sell the company to the mighty Trade Federation, Elaines lucrative position was terminated and she was forced to sell her flat and move onto her starship. She was hours from Bak`rofsen, she had booked a landing site for the next two weeks to find a place to live on the planet. The sudden lurch of the ship was Elaine’s only sign of exiting hyperspace drawing her from her sleep. She stretched and walked to the cockpit as quickly as she could, as she sat in the captain’s chair she could see in front of her a massive array of warships and civilian vessels flying to and fro. Suddenly a shadow came over her ship and a communication request flashed on her dash. Her hands flew over the console expertly securing the line and encrypting it.
“You have exited from hyperspace in restricted space lanes you have two minutes to plot a course for open space lanes and make your way to your final destination. Flight Control communication lines are as follows: DX3x-9.”
Elaine immediately responded and plotted a course for the open space lanes and flew to orbit of Bak`rofsen. As her vessel neared the planet she gasped in awe, two massive Home One cruisers were orbiting the planet side by side in what appeared to be a patrol pattern. After several minutes of securing access to the planet below she descended eventually landing at the landing pad below. Still safely aboard her ship she decided to change and freshen up. Making her way to the refresher she turned on the shower, allowing the hot steamy water to relax her muscles and relieve the tension and stress of the past few weeks. She was home, or rather as close to a home it could be. Exiting the shower, she dressed and exited the ship, the planet surprisingly warm and dry as the air hit her face. She couldn’t help but hope that she would adjust to the planet quickly as she set about exploring.

Arrival to Tresario. |
Returning to her ship she repeated this process for several days, discovering the Tresarian Recruiters center, a hospital and several excellent bars and restaurants. Along her travels she had applied to several jobs as well though none of them really were attractive to her, so on the seventh day she decided to stop by the recruiter’s center.
Inside the center was a young human male, barely a few years younger than Elaine, she eyed him curiously he was attractive, with a stern face with dark black hair and brown eyes, he had a well-toned body beneath his uniform that almost seemed one size too small for him, she clucked her tongue trying to decide if that was on purpose or not as he rose to greet her. His hand extended and she grasped it smiling curtly.
“I’m Thomas, what can I do for you today Miss?” he asked.
Elaine smiled “I’m Elaine von Veritrax I’m just looking for a bit of info on some careers with Tresario.”
“Well you certainly have come to the right place.” Thomas laughed showing his incredibly white teeth. “Here have a seat.” He gestured to a seat across from his at his desk. They sat for several hours discussing careers and life before Elaine made her decision.
Elaine was on her way to the Tresarian University less than a week later.
Her time in the University came easy, physically she was fit and passed each physical test with ease, and her time on the range with her classmates was fun and leisurely for her as she was an excellent shot, establishing near mastery over projectile weapons from an early age under her grandfather’s tutelage. As for her piloting skills she scored decent marks being an already experienced pilot. All around she was pleased to score perfect marks on her final exam. Returning to her ship she boarded it hanging her uniforms and making to orbit to receive transport to her first official mission and be assigned to her first Tresarian ship.
In Service of an Empire
Imperial Academy
Elaine's arrival to Prakith was overwhelming to her sense, the sheer size of the planet and its infrastructure was astounding, never before had she encountered a city planet of such magnitude. She was quickly ushered into a massive hall with hundreds of other Cadets, where she was seated and instructed to wait until summoned. Dozens of droids and staff walked through rows of seats sending and escorting staff to training officers. When at last Elaines turn came she was directed to an office of Training Officer, Lieutenant Commander (at the time) Mordus Nordstroem. His office to her surprise was empty, he was away from the Academy at the time and was instructing operations and training from afar via hologram. He set her to work quickly, directing her to accomplish a list of tasks among academic studies, striving to maintain the teachings of her upbringing Elaine worked as hard as she could to graduate with honors.
As her lessons began to come to a close a mass of electrical storms triggered a planetary defense network to read the energy signals and require investigation. Elaine, assigned by her training officer was quickly dispatched with a pair of stormtroopers to ensure no civil unrest or hostile action, upon her return she filed an in depth report, documenting onlookers and intelligence gathered during her thorough investigations of the area. Returning to her studies Elaine conducted her finals before graduating with honors and assuming her role in the Regional Government.

Arrival to Prakith. |
...
Imperial Gala
One of the first Empire wide events Elaine attended in her early career was the Imperial Gala celebrating the rule of Emperor Guinar Ndengin the Undying. Elaine arrived to the palace aboard a JV-7 Delta shuttle in one of her finest dresses. The young officer held her dress as she moved down the ramp of the ship making her way to the checkpoint Elaine presented her ID and invitation with her credentials.
“Good day Lieutenant.” Elaine smiled.
The Lieutenant smiled as he handed back her documents “Good day Miss Veritrax. Enjoy the Gala.” Moving through to the steps leading into the Palace, Elaine gazed in wonder at the immense statues of the Emperor. Along the walk way turbolaser batteries, trained on targets ensuring they maintained a good distance from the Palace. Ascending the stairs she came into the main hall and sucked in a sharp breath, the hall was a work of art unto itself and contained more craftsmanship in a single room than she had ever witnessed in her whole life.
Working her way through the hall she encountered Heron Vandroy and happily led him in a curious manner into the gardens. For some time the pair of them chatter before Director Seele arrived accompanied by his close friend and ally Joer Knight. In a brash and almost daring move she dragged the young Prefect Vandroy with her to pay compliments to the venerable duo. The true surprise however was in store for Veritrax as the Director stole her away for a tour of the Palace. Veritrax and Lord Seele passed several retinue of guards and entered into reserved sections of the gardens.
Elaine turned from the roses took at Seele and she smiled at him as she took his arm, allowing herself to once again be guided by him. As they walked through the gardens and towards an exit, she carefully cast a sideways glance at him. This man whom she held onto, along with the Emperors Cherokee and Ndengin, had shared a glorious past which forged the very essence of what the Galactic Empire had become. The schism between the Vodo regime and New Imperial Order was chaotic, but what the trio built from the chaos and the merger of the governments was awe-inspiring and was the fundamental elements of the modern Empire.
The triumvirate and their trusted advisors were not to be trifled with. Elaine raced through her mind about the risk she had taken and her clumsy maneuvering with her introduction to such a powerful figure. ‘Was this all too early, too impertinent?’ she asked herself as her anxiety rose. Elaine worried she had placed herself in precarious situation with her bold actions when a frightening thought struck her. ‘Oh no! Is he able to sense my thoughts?’
The young Imperial shot a panicked glance at Seele; he wasn’t revealing any hint that he was aware of Elaine’s anxiety as he kept his eyes ahead on the door they were approaching.
Lord Seele led her through the door into vaulted chamber filled with numerous statues of various stones with mixed hues. Seele gestured towards the wondrous collection of carvings and Elaine released his arm as her mouth opened in awe and she walked closer to study these pieces of art in detail. The first statue that drew her attention was an obsidian statuette of a young human mother and child. It was only a foot tall, but the fine detail and life-like pose made it seem like someone had shrunk the two figures after they had been encased in carbonite.
The evening drew on and Elaine like a child in awe wandered with the Director hovering near his side passing from room to room and hall to hall as the party drew down to an end.

Description
Personality and Beliefs
Elaine is an attentive, ruthlessly disciplined, perfectionist, both as a result of her upbringing and her Imperial Training; Elaine possess an incredibly high level of attention to detail, this combined with her nearly hardwired need to be perfect creates a work ethic and product unparalleled. She frequently enjoys the luxuries of fine wines and foods afforded to her as a member of the Imperial Officers Corps. Her loyalty to the state is unquestionable as she seeks to extend the influence of the Empire beyond its borders, and her daily activity is nearly entirely to her works, she is a model bureaucrat sacrificing the the perceived rights of lower class citizens to further advance the will of the state.
During free time she is known to attend youth rallies and give lectures preaching philosophies of the New Order. As a staunch believer in High Human Culture, at best she will tolerate non-humans within her presence employed by the New Order, and on very rare occasion has been known to accept their ideas and implement them in her work if they present credible and concrete plans that streamline processes and expenses.
"It is my belief, that the human element is failure; as stewards of the New Order we must adhere to the strictest standards in order to combat this flaw in our nature." - Elaine speaking to Recruits at the Imperial Academy.
Education & Language
Elaine has through the course of her education found herself learning to be able to speak a few languages beyond Galactic Basic. The languages include Minnisiat, Galactic Sign Language, Hapan, Huttese (understands cannot speak), and some Mandalorian.
