Sola Tao was a Commander in the Imperial Navy and a former officer of the New Imperial Order's Navy and once Major in the Army who ended her military career with dishonor, defecting to the Krath and then trying to induce other Imperials to join her in her treason. What led to her decision to defect was the fact she had not been given a promotion in a long time. However NCOMD did not view the former Commander as particularly competent and thus not deserving of a promotion at the time.

History

Father medical doctor, mother diplomat she followed their paths but sometimes looks for adventure in all the wrong places. She worked and trained with her father in his clinic. Her parents arranged a marriage for her. She vowed to spend the rest of her life in a monastery before being married to their choice. Then realized she needed to experience life not avoid it.

As a child Sola was given all the opportunities and advantages of Naboo royality. Her mother, Sola Corde, was a distant relative to one of the Queens of Naboo. She was a loving mother who wanted the best for her only daughter. This included an position in the Diplomatic Corps.

Sola Tao enjoyed going on wilderness camp outs with her brother, Peyton Tao. Then later she joined her father on humanitarian expeditions. Sola relished the challenge of the adventure much to her mother's anguish. On her last trip with her father to a indigent village to rescue survivors of a GE attack Sola was superficially injured.

The sight of her daughter having bruises and lacerations sent Sola Corde into a determined posture. She found Sola a nice man who had wealth and a title . Sola could follow a medical career, a diplomatic career or have a family.

Peyton Tao found out about their mother's plan and alerted his sister, Sola. It was her move. She feigned a vision. Before Sola's mother could tell her about the arranged marriage Sola put on the performance of her life. With flowery speech and grand gestures she related her vision. It was a calling to the Aing-Tii. These alien monks had just recently established retreat monastery on Naboo.

Since the Aing-Tii had a different understanding of the Force and star technology Porter Tao, Sola's father, thought that their influence would temper Sola's wild streak. Her parents agreed to the religious advocation.

Sola went to the retreat monastery and offered her services as a cook in exchange for them teaching her Aing-Tii. A year had passed and Sola had learned meditation, unarmed combat, the history of Jedi and Sith and some discipline. She longed to go on an adventure. But her only adventure was going to the Theed market to buy supplies for the monestary. Then her opportunity came. She over heard an NIO pilot asking for directions to the Naboo Welcome Center. He was here to pick up a recruit. Sola ran as fast as she could to the Welcome Center. She looked all around. There was no one there that looked like a recruit. She saw the NIO pilot approach. Before he could go into the Welcome Center Sola flagged him down. She identified her as the recruit. Even though her name didn't match and she was not dressed for travel her pushy determination sealed the deal. He escorted her to the ship and gave her a warm flight suit. The ship's sublight engines went to hyperdrive.

Sola joined the New Imperial Order because of its reform philosophy. She had seen first hand the atrocities committed by the Galactic Empire. Her Academy classmates included Rul Knizar and Mark INKster.

KarThan Kissani was her Academy Instructor and she fell in love with him. He was a scoundrel, a rogue, who appealled to her wild side. During this time, a psycopath, named Drackel tried to set a trap for Kissani by black mailing Sola. He had posted lies about her on the Turner House Kiosk. Being humbled by all of this Sola went to the House Of Turner and begged Grand Duke Michael Turner to remove the false statement from the public data file. He agreed. The Grand Duke was understanding, compassionate and a true gentleman. And at that moment Sola fell in love again. It was an enchanted dream like love, one that she would never experience.

Drackel was captured and executed. Kissani went on a mission and never returned. Sola was a fighter pilot in the New Imperial Navy.

Her friend Rul Knizar was the Army Commanding Officer and was taxed with rebuilding the Army. She asked for a transfer to help Rul. Within in the first, six weeks in the New Imperial Army Sola saw combat on the planet Tatoonie. As a green Second Lieutenant, she arrested the Falleen Minister of the Interior Tyler Davik at an illegal construction site. That year she rose to the rank of Major. Sola Tao was active in ground operations for the next year.

Her colateral duties included: Promotion of WELFCOM, Teaching at the Imperial Academy and Editing the NIO Bulletin. Major Tao was instrumental in developing the NIO second anniversary celebration, the third anniversary celebration and the 1000 Day celebration. As the New Order expanded Sola felt lost and return to Naboo to finish her medical studies. , Sola Tao return to the New Imperial Order and was reinstated in the Army as a Staff Officer. She, by chance, was reunited with Michael Turner. After eight months of on again off again dating do to personal commitments by the both of them, Sola Tao married Michael Turner in a civil ceremony Year 10 Day 149. Just eleven days after their marriage the New Imperial Order returned to the Galactic Empire.

The holo image of Sola Tao is seen on the the Vid screen, coming from an unknown location, in the Corporate Sector. Her voice is weak but grows stronger with each word, "Many of you may wonder what had happened in the short time period after my wedding, Some of you do not care. All in all I come here today to set the record straight. In the months before my marriage to Michael Turner there were rumors that the New Imperial Order may merger with the Galactic Empire. I consulted Grand Vizier Ndegin and Executor Cherokee about the merge and they assured me that they were just rumors. Just elevens days after my marriage the New Order did return to the Empire making me an enemy to the Turners. There was time for me to leave but unfortunate events occurred. The members of the House of Turner treated me as a criminal. And the members of the Empire treated me as royality. No one objected to my marriage. The fact is for three solid years I wrote extensive articles condemning the actions of the Empire. My enemy was now my benefactor and my new family was now my enemy. I requested an adminstrative assignment but was given a command position in the Imperial Navy adding to the conflict of interest. Then Imperial Intelligence messaged my husband, the Grand Duke to remove the bounties on Imperials. Michael refused standing on principle and not wavering in their sights. Additional communiques implied that if he did not remove the bounties my career would end, My options were limited. Being who I am and considering who I love I requested a divorce and begged Michael to label me as a traitor. With that said, after consulting with medical experts and mystical theorists, our son, Micheal Peyton Turner II, will be born in the sick bay of my VSD thirty standard days from now. I said I will only marry once, I have only loved once and I shall not waver in my words. The holo images fades to black....

Michael Turner was arrested by the New Republic involving a mining transaction which was a trap. After weeks of delays and corrupt officials, false statements Michael Turner died in NR custody. Just as his life was ending and new life was begining. Year 10 Day 246 01:22 Michael Peyton Turner II was born in a warm bacta bath to his mother Sola Tao. The birth was in sickbay on board a GE VSD in hyper space some where in the Calaron Sector. Michael Peyton weighed 8 lbs or 3.64 Kilos and was 24 inches or 62 cms long. He was strong enough to lift his head. The birth was witness by SFSGT Solon, a medical Droid and an R-4 Unit. Solon assisted with the birth. Mother and son are doing fine.

The Empire was now Sola Tao's home. Having a non tradition family was not in her vision of her future. She asked RADM Senki Blackrain and LTCMDR Marius Drake to be God Fathers to her son.
