Inwe Ventidius was born on Thyferra, a descendant of the humans that colonized the planet following the discovery of bacta. Throughout most of her youth, she had no desire to ever abandon her home planet for a life elsewhere among the stars. However, tragedy in her young adult life irrevocably altered all her dreams when her family was assassinated by the Rebel Alliance.
+
Lady '''Inwe Ventidius''' was the ruler of the Galactic Empire reigning supreme from Coruscant as Empress. Apart from this she is perhaps best known for her tenure as the Director of [[Imperial Intelligence]], as well as her time as the Grand Vizier of [[COMPNOR]]. For the exemplary nature of her first three-year period as Director of Imperial Intelligence, Ventidius was awarded the [[Honours_and_Awards_-_Empire#Imperial_Gold_Star|Imperial Gold Star]] in the same ceremony that announced her elevation to Grand Vizier after the retirement of [[Jorus Taidan]]. In addition, for her exceptionally long and distinguished service in furthering the cause of the New Order, she was granted a seat in the House of Lords, as the Marquess of the Cortina system, by then Emperor Guinar Ndengin.
  
−
She found herself alone in the universe; all her dreams withered by haunting memories. Inwe decided to create new dreams and so joined the Galactic Empire to serve the ultimate authority.  Upon graduation from the Imperial Academy, Inwe began her vocation in the Navy. Her Imperial career is still very young, but she hopes her determination, ambition, and desire to advance the Empire will carry her far.
+
Ventidius started her career in the [[Third Imperial Fleet]], distinguishing herself by her excellent service record and operational success on the planet Dostra. When she retired from military service, she served simultaneously as the leader of [[Magnaguard Manufacturing]] and the Governor of Nevoota, a system in the [[Coruscant Sector]]. Ventidius briefly retired from Imperial service to lead [[Kuat Drive Yards]] and, upon her return, she was appointed the Governor of the [[Bothan Sector]]. She served the Bothan Sector for nearly a year until she was appointed as the Director of Imperial Intelligence in Year 11, then seemingly a fresh face in the intelligence world.
 +
=History=
 +
== Imperial Academy ==
 +
After completing her post graduate studies on Thyferra, Inwe Ventidius applied to and was accepted at the Imperial University based on the city-planet Coruscant. It took Ventidius a while to adapt to the masses of people and constant frenzied activity of the ever awake planet, even though she had considered herself a product of metropolis planet. The discipline and order of the Imperial school made the transition more comfortable, the restraints and expectations of the Galactic Empire were not unlike the boundaries which she had known on Thyferra. Ventidius performed her studies with her customary thoroughness and discipline, quickly graduating from the academy.  Upon completion she received the rank of crewman and was assigned a position in the Third Imperial Fleet.
 +
== Meridian ==
 +
She spent the first part of her Naval career sidelined by a Chief of Staff (CoS), who would later become the Executive Officer of the Third, that resented females in the Imperial armed forces; especially those in his fleet. Her first mission came when she volunteered for a special operation without the knowledge of her CoS. Ventidius was one of the few personally selected by the commanding officer of the Navy for a secret incursion into enemy space to secure the Imperial presence throughout the sector.
  
−
== Character History ==
+
The Meridian operation was the culmination of the best strategic minds in the Galactic Empire. Ventidius seized the majority of planet surface on Nam Chorios with the assistance of an agent deep inside the controlling power of Renegades Inc, the former sector authority. Once the ground engagement was complete, she completed her secondary assignment, capture of an enemy capital ship.
 +
== CSA Renationalization ==
 +
On Year 10 Day 72 Ventidius left the Galactic Empire and replaced Verion Lexus as leader of Paradox Resource Explorations, a mining faction that was part of the larger government CSA in the Corporate sector. CSA abandoned their Imperial roots in pursuit of profit, confident that their location on the far Outer Rim would protect them from the correction of the Empire. However, the corrupt leaders would be sorely disappointed; in a highly classified operation, the rogue directorship was penetrated by Orphaea Imperium. When the board of directors was removed from power, several people from the Empire stepped into the transitioning factions to facilitate the renationalization. Ventidius ensured the security of valuable Paradox assets while simultaneously securing the loyalty of faction members at large in the process of siphoning out enemy participants loyal to the rebellious hierarchy.
 +
== Dostra ==
 +
Ventidius was the first Imperial to arrive in Dostra space on the orders of Admiral Skice after rumors of rebel activity were received by Naval High Command. In an intense conflict that lasted only a span of days, but was bitterly fought, Ventidius served with a group of exceptional naval pilots bent on turning back an incursion into newly occupied space in the Corporate sector. Often completing shifts back to back, she moved from one planet to the next, securing Imperial forces while resources were being brought into aid the Empire's front. Hundreds of arrests were made, with many dying in skirmishes rather than submit to custody. Planetary control on a couple key planets would shift from one side to the other as each force fought to establish unassailable dominance. Although the rebels dedicated massive resources to the operation, they were more than equally matched by the scrambled Imperial forces. In a final push for the system the navy brought in overwhelming numbers of materials and builders and took final control of the system. Following that maneuver the bulk of rebel troops withdrew leaving only a handful to pester Imperial progress until they were wiped out. Venditius was subsequently awarded by Skice for her efforts in the operation.
 +
== Magnaguard==
 +
The Empire was looking for loyal Imperials to take leadership of several factions after the Corporate renationalization effort. Riding the momentum of her military record and recent success in Dostra, Ventidius was granted the leadership position of Magnaguard--a droid production faction. While she focused on returning faction staffing to optimal levels and reviewing fundamental operations, negotiations were ongoing for the New Imperial Order to rejoin the Empire. When the merger occurred a new division within the Empire was formed, the Ministry of Industry (MInd). Magnaguard fell under the new branch and as leader Ventidius was promoted to the rank of Deputy Director in the Galactic Empire.
 +
== Nevoota ==
 +
== Agrilat ==
 +
== Iquobal ==
 +
== Governor ==
 +
Ventidius was appointed Governor [C-2] of Nevoota in the Coruscant sector by Moff Imperium on Y10 D318, where she will work for the Imperial government in addition to her post as Deputy Director.
 +
== Kuat Drive Yards ==
 +
Late in year ten the leader of the Kuat Society, Myn Kuat, approached Ventidius and quietly began discussions about the possibility of leading Kuat Drive Yards and overseeing Kuat Systems Engineering. Although initially unsure at leaving the Galactic Empire, she hoped to bring KDY, already a strong ally of the Empire, even closer by her presence. To legitimize her ascension to the leadership of KDY, the Sith Lord Kuat offered a proposal of marriage and Ventidius accepted the engagement. There was some dissatisfaction in the Ministry of Industry over Ventidius' decision to leave Magnaguard for KDY; although it was eventually accepted. Initially she took the second-in-command position under Harken Keithel to learn the faction and allow people to adapt to her presence. Ventidius was officially announced as faction leader at the first KDY meeting and received well by her new faction.
  
−
===Early Life===
+
She made several changes to the faction, instituting new policies and incentive programs that produced an immediate positive effect on morale. The changes affected all of Kuat Society from the introduction ship rewards for loyal members to material hauling strategies. For a time Ventidius worked closely with Myn Kuat and together they increased the sales and drive of the Kuat factions. However, Ventidius soon realized she was meant for the Empire, even over an ally. Following a relatively short tenure at KDY she returned to the GE on year 11 day 52.
 +
== Bothan Space ==
 +
Upon her return to the Empire proper Ventidius received several offers from different areas of the Empire. She declined return to MInd with Magnaguard in the very capable hands of Deputy Director Artemis Imperium and focused on Regional Government. Although she did spend some time helping Magnaguard build facilities; during this time she selected Bothan Space as her new home. Part of this decision was made based on where she could do the most good; a couple of the other sector Moffs that had approached her already had flush staffs. This was the first time Ventidius had a focus on government building, however, given her background she was able to transition smoothly and immediately be productive for Moff Ndengin.

Born into what would be a large family, Inwe was the oldest of five children. Her mother was a molecular theorist employed by one of the many biotech labs on their home planet. The career demands placed upon her mother were immense, so that meant Inwe and her siblings were raised mainly by a series of governesses. When her father was home, most of his time was spent locked away in his study working on some scientific paper to publish. He was always writing another journal article or book.

The first sixteen years of Inwe’s life had been extremely predictable.  She attended her classes, excelling in math and sciences.  In addition to education, her calendar was well rounded with a series of extracurricular activities; her governess would never let even one slide.  To do so would deprive Inwe of a “full and complete education” as she was reminded too often.  There were also the experiences every teenage girl endures: best friends and betrayal, stolen kisses and heartbreak, and the events along life’s path that mark the way to maturity.
 
  
−
===First Adventures===
 
  
−
The first truly exceptional event in her life happened shortly after she had turned sixteen.  A knock on her classroom door and a summons to the superintendent’s office had saved her from an in-class final essay on Prober’s Psychosis Theorem.  During the walk to the office, her relief disintegrated into fear – nothing less than a medical emergency would have freed her from that room.
 
  
−
Her fears were more than realized. She was summarily dismissed from school and escorted to a regional security office by her father, Bassus, and a silent government agent. Nothing was explained to her during the trip; upon arrival Inwe was left alone in a small room to devise imaginary explanations for this unprecedented experience.

Inwe disliked Agent Din from the moment she entered the room. Their terse conversation did nothing to brighten Inwe’s perception of her. Inwe was duly informed of the suspicion centering around Gavin Thorus, her friend, Nila’s, father.  He was suspected of industrial espionage.  Then told it had been decided she would retrieve the supposedly stolen data.

The idea was not well received by Inwe. Petulantly, she refused to act against her friend’s father. However, her protests were ineffective.  If she did not cooperate, she would be charged with misdemeanor obstruction.  A threat that involved no punitive action but that would destroy her academic career; none of the upper echelon colleges would accept her with such a mark on her record.

The assignment loomed like a gaping, black cloud ahead of her.  Nila had invited her and a few other friends to a sleep over that weekend, Inwe knew that was the time she would have to act.  The week blurred.  She refused to speak to either of her parents – not that they noticed.  In school, she told all her friends she had visited the doctor’s office.  No one seemed to suspect anything, but Inwe was edgy all the way until Friday afternoon.

When Nila’s dad, Galvin, answered the door she lost her voice to her nerves.  She felt like the look on her face spoke more clearly of her intentions than a detailed letter of confession.  Galvin just smiled and welcomed her warmly into the house.

Inwe’s conscious prickled her all night long.  She knew she was violating her friend’s trust.  If Inwe thought she had been nervous during the week, she knew now what true trepidation felt like.  All night long, she practiced her deception, telling people she was going one place and then slipping off to another.  Inwe said she was going to the bathroom and went to the kitchen, then, the living room but she really went to the balcony.  No one noticed her game.  Why would they?  They were all her friends, not counter intelligence agents; and she was just a teenager.

At 2:00 AM the girls were embroiled in a game of Honesty or Consequences, and eye lids were starting to get heavy.  Inwe had put this off long enough; it was now or not at all.  In a dreadful instant she decided not to and broke out in a cold sweat.  Then the moment passed, and with the appalling realization of how selfish she was, Inwe excused herself and slipped out of the room as someone was about to confess a crush on a teacher.
+
|- style=background:#CCCCCC; align="center"

−
Her bare feet moved silently through the house until she stood in front of the large office door.  She knew from past visits that the safe which held valuable information was in this room.  The handle turned easily under her fingers and her legs carried her into the room.  The familiar room now seemed ominous, casting foreboding shadows.  Inwe stopped and looked at the safe, its decorative door facing out from the wall in which it was embedded.
 
−
 
 
−
She slid her fingers along the cool metal.  This was the hardest part of her plan, the point at which it could all fall apart.  She had to open the safe door, a door which was equipped with an alpha-numeric security system.  It had to be open; otherwise the treated metal would repel all attempts at electronic infiltration.  The tips of her fingers tingled as she guessed at the password.  The light flashed red.  So the password wasn’t their address.  She tried Nila’s name and birth date; wrong again. 
 
−
 
 
−
Inwe noticed she wasn’t breathing and forced her lungs to expand; she had one more chance to get this right.  Or, she thought she did.  The lights abruptly flickered on as the door opened.  Inwe’s heart crashed to a halt and then jumped to an impossible rate.  Galvin stood silhouetted in the doorway.  Now she was inextricably caught.
 
−
 
 
−
Inwe heard her voice but did not know where the words were coming from, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thorus.  We were playing, they dared me to open your safe and come back with a holo-image as proof…but the password Nila gave me didn’t work.  I’m so sorry!”
 
−
 
 
−
Galvin had laughed and opened up the safe for the truant teenager, on the condition that she promised not to disclose his assistance.  Inwe agreed and took a holo-image of the safe contents.  As she slipped the imager back into her pocket, she pressed a button on a small device that recorded a duplicate copy of all the data contained in the safe.  Terror knotted in her stomach as she escaped back to Nila’s room.  She was reticent and distressed for the remainder of the night, even as she tried to hide it.  While everyone else slept peacefully she laid awake, pulse drumming loudly in her ears; Inwe left as soon as possible the next morning.
 
−
 
 
−
She turned over the data to Agent Din on Saturday morning.  All her questions about what would happen to the Thorus family went unanswered.  Nila was not in school on Monday.  Inwe did not see Nila again, or find out what eventually happened to the family.  For a couple weeks, remorse ate at her, but soon it began to fade as time dulled the sting.  Inwe had done what was expected of her; that was the way it had to be and she decided not to look back.

===Tempting Fate===
 
−
 
 
−
===Turning Point===
 
−
 
 
−
While Inwe always respected the achievements of her mother, Corvina, her passion was for her father’s vocation.  Bassus worked at a research university teaching advanced biochemical engineering at the graduate level.  The remarkable strides made in the theoretical and practical application of genetic-specific viral pathogens have been attributed largely to his research.  This labor included greater specification range of the genetic relationship variable – a feature very useful if you can only get a DNA sample of the target’s cousin or you want to eliminate a family group instead of a single individual.  As part of her advanced studies, Inwe was assisting him in crafting a technique to construct a pathogen transmittable among the general population without the expression of symptoms until it found a host matching the specified code sequence.
 
−
 
 
−
Bassus was in the middle of a series of critical experiments when Corvina was sent by her company to demonstrate a product – a method of regenerating damaged lymph tissue – at an off world conference.  Inwe had just turned twenty-two when this happened.  The conference held a great deal of interest for her father as well, compelling the typical home-loving Thyferran family to temporarily abandon their planet.  The younger siblings – Lucius, Caepio, Denter, and Cimbri – accompanied their parents, leaving Inwe behind to tend the experiments. 
 
−
 
 
−
Rebel forces attacked and destroyed their shuttle before they reached the conference.  Rumors abounded that the reason for the attack was Bassus Ventidius’ research, which the rebels considered an imminent danger.

The report devastated Inwe.  The loss of her brothers was the most poignant; Cimbri was only ten at the time of the attack.  During this time she called the government on a daily basis, insisting on knowing what actions were being taken to prosecute the pilots that had murdered her family.  The officials were less than helpful.  They listened gravely to her calls, noted her concerns, and forgot about her as soon as the connection terminated.  Eventually she was informed that the Thyfferan government had no official means to offer her justice, but a petition had been logged with the appropriate diplomatic branch of the Rebel administration.  Frustrated, Inwe relentlessly pursued the filing of that petition until finally, one Thyfferan diplomat, under duress, admitted that probably nothing would become of the innocuous paperwork.
 
−
 
 
−
Inwe nodded, grim-faced, when she received the news.  In truth, she had been suspecting an answer similar to the one offered.  There were no tears now; it had been a month since their deaths and she had reached her limit of tears and self-pity.  However, the ideas long forming in her mind instantaneously became decisions.  She also knew that the Empire was her destiny; they had much more accepting views regarding none traditional weapons and maybe, just maybe, she would be able to strike at the rebels.
 
−
 
 
−
Most of her deceased family’s resources were seized by the Thyfferan government under some vague jurisdictional statute.  Inwe offered no protest, moving into the dorms and dedicating the next year to completing her Master’s studies at the university.  Biomedical engineering was no longer her only area of inquiry; she expanded her studies to include weapons research and development.  A rigorous physical routine also became a stay in her schedule – preparing her body to withstand the stress of planets with stronger gravity fields.  When she had intended to stay on Thyffera for the duration of her natural life, the weaker gravity of the planet had no effect on her, but now it was a hindrance.  One she overcame.
 
−
 
 
−
Concurrently, she liquidated what was left of her inheritance, spending part of it to buy the names of the pilots in the squadron that had destroyed her family; and also the name of the commanding officer who had issued the order.  However, the bulk of her resources went to obtaining DNA samples from those five individuals, in reality she only gained four samples.  It had been more samples than she expected, the smuggler she had hired to acquire them was well worth his price.

Covertly using the resources in her father’s old lab, under the guise of completing research-in-progress, she synthesized genetically engineered pathogens for the purpose of exacting retribution.  Inwe agonized during the molecular formation and alteration, deciding whether or not to expand the microbes to be inclusive of genetically close relatives.

Inwe graduated with honors a month after turning twenty-three.  Some cautious inquiries revealed that the commander who ordered the assassination had been transferred to a space station hub and two of the pilots were still assigned to him and also on the station.  She had to admit, the indiscreet rumors of the Corellian network, to which her former lover had introduced her, were particularly effective; Inwe was tapping them a lot for thinking the lawless underside disdainful.  A better opportunity for revenge would not present itself.

The air of the space station was contaminated by the engineered virus-complex within minutes of Inwe disembarking.  It was just hours until the commander and two pilots were infected.  Approximately nine hours after the transport carrying her toward the heart of the Empire had left its docking port, all three reported to the infirmary within half an hour of each other.  Concerns about an infectious outbreak began to flicker across the holonet.  Testing by the station doctors revealed the infection to be caused by the virulent Jiama strain.  After another 48 hours the holonets reported the brilliant success of the doctors in containing the infection and limiting the outbreak to only three casualties.

===Personality===

−
In general, Inwe is a temperate person with a strong personality that will occasionally tend to the mischievous.  She is likely to be outgoing and is ready to cultivate friendships.  However, this is in contrast to her natural introverted tendencies, so sometimes she needs space to gather her social energies again.  Inwe also possesses a thriving sarcastic streak that will intermittently get her into trouble.  Most of the time she is serious and goal oriented with a dry sense of humor; although, every once in while, she is prone to bouts of playfulness that sometimes surprise her friends.  Inwe in a very loyal person, and expects the same commitment of loyalty in return.  She has been hurt in the past when loyalties were broken.  Once that trust has been breached, it is hard to rebuild.

===Appearance===

−
Like many native Thyferrans living on a planet with weak gravity, Inwe is tall and thin; measuring 1.8034 meters (5ft 11in) in height and 63.501 kg (140 lbs).  Her build is lithe, flexible, and surprisingly strong since her efforts in the gym to increase her tone.  She has long, gold hair; although it is shorter since she joined the Empire than the length she wore it on Thyferra.  She inherited her mother’s skin type, giving her an alabaster complexion.  Her eyes are a sky blue and reminiscent of her father.

When not in her Navy uniform, Inwe prefers light dresses made with a breathable fabric.  It has taken some effort to adjust to the artificial environments in space which are cold compared to the balmy climate from which she originates.  As a result, she is usually in her uniform.

Awards 13_ventidius.png


Lady Inwe Ventidius was the ruler of the Galactic Empire reigning supreme from Coruscant as Empress. Apart from this she is perhaps best known for her tenure as the Director of Imperial Intelligence, as well as her time as the Grand Vizier of COMPNOR. For the exemplary nature of her first three-year period as Director of Imperial Intelligence, Ventidius was awarded the Imperial Gold Star in the same ceremony that announced her elevation to Grand Vizier after the retirement of Jorus Taidan. In addition, for her exceptionally long and distinguished service in furthering the cause of the New Order, she was granted a seat in the House of Lords, as the Marquess of the Cortina system, by then Emperor Guinar Ndengin.

Ventidius started her career in the Third Imperial Fleet, distinguishing herself by her excellent service record and operational success on the planet Dostra. When she retired from military service, she served simultaneously as the leader of Magnaguard Manufacturing and the Governor of Nevoota, a system in the Coruscant Sector. Ventidius briefly retired from Imperial service to lead Kuat Drive Yards and, upon her return, she was appointed the Governor of the Bothan Sector. She served the Bothan Sector for nearly a year until she was appointed as the Director of Imperial Intelligence in Year 11, then seemingly a fresh face in the intelligence world.

History

Imperial Academy

After completing her post graduate studies on Thyferra, Inwe Ventidius applied to and was accepted at the Imperial University based on the city-planet Coruscant. It took Ventidius a while to adapt to the masses of people and constant frenzied activity of the ever awake planet, even though she had considered herself a product of metropolis planet. The discipline and order of the Imperial school made the transition more comfortable, the restraints and expectations of the Galactic Empire were not unlike the boundaries which she had known on Thyferra. Ventidius performed her studies with her customary thoroughness and discipline, quickly graduating from the academy. Upon completion she received the rank of crewman and was assigned a position in the Third Imperial Fleet.

Meridian

She spent the first part of her Naval career sidelined by a Chief of Staff (CoS), who would later become the Executive Officer of the Third, that resented females in the Imperial armed forces; especially those in his fleet. Her first mission came when she volunteered for a special operation without the knowledge of her CoS. Ventidius was one of the few personally selected by the commanding officer of the Navy for a secret incursion into enemy space to secure the Imperial presence throughout the sector.

The Meridian operation was the culmination of the best strategic minds in the Galactic Empire. Ventidius seized the majority of planet surface on Nam Chorios with the assistance of an agent deep inside the controlling power of Renegades Inc, the former sector authority. Once the ground engagement was complete, she completed her secondary assignment, capture of an enemy capital ship.

CSA Renationalization

On Year 10 Day 72 Ventidius left the Galactic Empire and replaced Verion Lexus as leader of Paradox Resource Explorations, a mining faction that was part of the larger government CSA in the Corporate sector. CSA abandoned their Imperial roots in pursuit of profit, confident that their location on the far Outer Rim would protect them from the correction of the Empire. However, the corrupt leaders would be sorely disappointed; in a highly classified operation, the rogue directorship was penetrated by Orphaea Imperium. When the board of directors was removed from power, several people from the Empire stepped into the transitioning factions to facilitate the renationalization. Ventidius ensured the security of valuable Paradox assets while simultaneously securing the loyalty of faction members at large in the process of siphoning out enemy participants loyal to the rebellious hierarchy.

Dostra

Ventidius was the first Imperial to arrive in Dostra space on the orders of Admiral Skice after rumors of rebel activity were received by Naval High Command. In an intense conflict that lasted only a span of days, but was bitterly fought, Ventidius served with a group of exceptional naval pilots bent on turning back an incursion into newly occupied space in the Corporate sector. Often completing shifts back to back, she moved from one planet to the next, securing Imperial forces while resources were being brought into aid the Empire's front. Hundreds of arrests were made, with many dying in skirmishes rather than submit to custody. Planetary control on a couple key planets would shift from one side to the other as each force fought to establish unassailable dominance. Although the rebels dedicated massive resources to the operation, they were more than equally matched by the scrambled Imperial forces. In a final push for the system the navy brought in overwhelming numbers of materials and builders and took final control of the system. Following that maneuver the bulk of rebel troops withdrew leaving only a handful to pester Imperial progress until they were wiped out. Venditius was subsequently awarded by Skice for her efforts in the operation.

Magnaguard

The Empire was looking for loyal Imperials to take leadership of several factions after the Corporate renationalization effort. Riding the momentum of her military record and recent success in Dostra, Ventidius was granted the leadership position of Magnaguard--a droid production faction. While she focused on returning faction staffing to optimal levels and reviewing fundamental operations, negotiations were ongoing for the New Imperial Order to rejoin the Empire. When the merger occurred a new division within the Empire was formed, the Ministry of Industry (MInd). Magnaguard fell under the new branch and as leader Ventidius was promoted to the rank of Deputy Director in the Galactic Empire.

Nevoota

Agrilat

Iquobal

Governor

Ventidius was appointed Governor [C-2] of Nevoota in the Coruscant sector by Moff Imperium on Y10 D318, where she will work for the Imperial government in addition to her post as Deputy Director.

Kuat Drive Yards

Late in year ten the leader of the Kuat Society, Myn Kuat, approached Ventidius and quietly began discussions about the possibility of leading Kuat Drive Yards and overseeing Kuat Systems Engineering. Although initially unsure at leaving the Galactic Empire, she hoped to bring KDY, already a strong ally of the Empire, even closer by her presence. To legitimize her ascension to the leadership of KDY, the Sith Lord Kuat offered a proposal of marriage and Ventidius accepted the engagement. There was some dissatisfaction in the Ministry of Industry over Ventidius' decision to leave Magnaguard for KDY; although it was eventually accepted. Initially she took the second-in-command position under Harken Keithel to learn the faction and allow people to adapt to her presence. Ventidius was officially announced as faction leader at the first KDY meeting and received well by her new faction.

She made several changes to the faction, instituting new policies and incentive programs that produced an immediate positive effect on morale. The changes affected all of Kuat Society from the introduction ship rewards for loyal members to material hauling strategies. For a time Ventidius worked closely with Myn Kuat and together they increased the sales and drive of the Kuat factions. However, Ventidius soon realized she was meant for the Empire, even over an ally. Following a relatively short tenure at KDY she returned to the GE on year 11 day 52.

Bothan Space

Upon her return to the Empire proper Ventidius received several offers from different areas of the Empire. She declined return to MInd with Magnaguard in the very capable hands of Deputy Director Artemis Imperium and focused on Regional Government. Although she did spend some time helping Magnaguard build facilities; during this time she selected Bothan Space as her new home. Part of this decision was made based on where she could do the most good; a couple of the other sector Moffs that had approached her already had flush staffs. This was the first time Ventidius had a focus on government building, however, given her background she was able to transition smoothly and immediately be productive for Moff Ndengin.
