Seren Ngo is presently an Lieutenant Junior Grade serving the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire, and currently holds the positions of Operations Adjutant within her Fleet, Graphics Assistant for the Imperial Art Team, and Junior Training Officer for the Imperial Academy.

Born and raised in the metropolitan city of Coronet, Corellia for the majority of her life, Ngo had never stepped foot off of Corellia prior to her service in the Galactic Empire. Spending most of her early life attending school and working part-time as a waitress to help support her family and their small repair business, her attention was focused on one thing and one thing only: survival. Her family accepted Robert Reynolds into their household after discovering that he was recovering from a period of instability and during the time he stayed before he left to join the Galactic Empire, they both shared romantic feelings that neither party acted on.

Having been replaced by a WA-7 droid as a waitress shortly after the departure of her brothers from Corellia, Ngo struggled to find work to help support her family for several months before Reynolds suggested that she join the Empire with him. Working closely beside him as she ventured further and further away from her homeworld for the first time, Ngo drowned herself in her work to keep her thoughts from the increasing loneliness she felt in space. She was several months into a relationship with Johnny Sasaki when she met Squall Tigroe, a man who captivated her with ease, and after sorting out her feelings, she left Sasaki and married Tigroe.

The Galactic Empire

"From now on, you will have to breathe the air of higher places."

— Voren Ngo to Seren upon her acceptance into the Imperial Academy.

Prior to her decision to join the Galactic Empire with Robert Reynolds, Ngo had maintained a stable career as a waitress at a small but surprisingly popular diner called “The Glimmering Jewel”, or “The Jewel” for short, in the Treasure Ship Row in Coronet. For nearly six years, the Jewel hadprovided her with a small but steady source of income that helped her and her family make ends meet until she was suddenly replaced by a WA-7 droid. With her father’s repair business on the verge of going under, Ngo withdrew herself from the medical research and development program at her local university after realizing she would be unable to afford her tuition as she searched for work. For months, she struggled to find work and finally out of

desperation, she returned to the Jewel in hopes of being offered back her position only to discover the reasons why she was let go. The owner, a Thyferran immigrant by the name of Stefan Iscandar, solemnly confessed that he was bribed with credits and the WA-7 droid into letting her go by a growing production company, whose intent was to cut off one of the sources of income that kept her father’s business afloat that kept them from receiving new customers. Distraught by the news and the reason why she was constantly turned away for work with other businesses, Ngo went to Reynolds, who had returned to Corellia for a short visit from his duties. Sharing Ngo’s frustration after patiently listening to her situation, Reynolds suggested that she join the Empire with him, saying that while the company had an influence within Coronet that could ruin her, they would never be able to touch her again under the protection of the Empire.

Ngo’s decision to join the Empire and enlist into its military with Reynolds was faced with fierce opposition from her mother and her eldest brother, Sekel. While both feared mostly for her safety, her mother, in particular, argued that it was not a woman’s place to serve in the military and constantly searched for ways to change her only daughter’s decision to the point she even shunned Ngo for several days with threats of disownment. With no support from her family except from her disowned brother, Iain, and Reynolds, Ngo had considered obeying her mother’s wishes to not join until the day she received her letter of acceptance into the Imperial Academy. Her father, who had remained silent on the matter since the very beginning, met with her in private, away from her mother’s cold and cruel words, and told her that Reynolds told him the reasons why she wanted to join and with very few words, gave her his blessings and support.

The Imperial Academy

Upon entering the Imperial Academy, still without the support and approval of her mother, Ngo was assigned to the then Provost General of the Academy, Galdarzz Aalon. For several weeks, she studied diligently under the watchful eyes of Aalon, who was always willing to provide his help when she needed it, but part of her mind was constantly elsewhere. During her time at the Academy, she had received several letters from her mother telling her that it was not too late for her to turn back and return home and left Ngo with feelings of doubt and discouragement until she received a letter of apology. Her father, who had finally grown tired of his wife’s behavior towards their daughter, had finally told her mother the reasons why she had decided to join and their deteriorating financial status. Finally receiving her entire family’s approval and blessing, the feelings of doubt and discouraged faded from Ngo, and she soon graduated from the Academy with Vrogard Delahon conducting the ceremony for Aalon had suddenly been called away to tend to other duties.

The Imperial Navy

Shortly after graduating from the Imperial Academy, Ngo requested to enlist into the Imperial Navy with the help of Vrograd Delahon, who forwarded her request to the Resource Allocation Department of the Imperial Navy. After only a few days of waiting, she was contacted by RADIN informing her that her request was approved, and that she would be assigned to one of the Imperial Fleets of the Empire. Soon after, Ngo received an order to meet then Command Flight Officer Adin-Duanath Yeriamman, a fleet-mate, who was assigned to take her to one of their fleet’s flagships and to further assist in developing her skills as a pilot. Upon her arrival on one of the fleet’s flagships, she met the familiar faces of Galdarzz Aalon and, much to her surprise and relief, Robert Reynolds, who was quick to help her overcome her uneasiness in her new environment in both the military and in space. Having finally left Corellia for the first time in her life, Ngo struggled for several weeks to settle comfortably into her fleet and in space despite the friendliness of her fleet-mates. Plagued with thoughts of home and the feeling of loneliness, she devoted herself to her work for the Navy and Empire to keep herself from her thoughts.

Where Ngo lacked in natural talent, such as piloting where she was no better than an average pilot, she made up for it with hard work; a trait that was noticed and awarded for by her Fleet’s Command. As Ngo made her way up through the ranks of the Imperial Navy, she was selected to become her fleet’s Operations Adjutant when it was revealed that Yeriamman, the fleet’s original Operations Adjutant, had been selected to transfer to another fleet and become its Executive Officer. As her skill as a pilot began to develop, Ngo was assigned to several reconnaissance missions where she ordered to sweep through several enemy planets to gather information quickly and unnoticed.
