Amne Zailyn was a Hapan of noble descent who, much like her grandmother, Ducha Isaline Zailyn, was dedicated to a life of military service and later became an officer of Army Command. After being widowed as a young mother, Amne gained entrance to the Imperial Academy and began her career as a reconnaissance soldier. During an undercover assignment on Garos, she became romantically involved with Euna Miriel, whom she later married. Early in her military career, Amne distinguished herself as the commanding officer of the 5th Brigade. By the age of twenty-seven, she had attained the rank of High Colonel. Highly decorated after her meritorious service on Derra IV, she was appointed to serve as the Army Signals Officer.

Early life and family

Amne was born in Year -12 on Alderaan to Lydia Zailyn, an acclaimed flutist. Her grandmother, Isaline Zailyn, was a high-ranking Draconian Army officer who, after the surrender of the Draconian Union in Year -27, was among the nobles who fled the Phoenix Revolution and set up exile courts led by surviving claimants to the Hapan throne. Isaline was welcomed into the homes of her brothers and sisters who, along with their extravagant dowries, had been married into noble families in various sectors after the death of Princess Da'tan Pal'durath in Year -61. Due to her reluctance to marry or take a consort, it was expected that Isaline would adopt one of her nieces or grandnieces as her heiress. However, within a few months, it became clear that she was indeed with child. She would not disclose the identity of the father and, early in Year -26, she gave birth to her daughter Lydia on Alderaan. Isaline dedicated herself to working with the Refugee Relief Movement, using her considerable funds to relocate Hapan refugees to peaceful, refined worlds throughout the Republic. Over the years, Lydia performed as a child prodigy with a gift for playing the Alderaanian flute.

Amne spent her earliest years traveling with Lydia under the care of a nanny, then a governess, as she performed throughout the Republic, though she was given to the care of her grandmother when the time came for her to attend the Alderaan Select Academy for Young Ladies. Out of a desire to reconcile with her extended family after Isaline's death in Year 0, Lydia sent the twelve-year-old Amne to Procopia to stay with relatives. When Amne developed a mutual affection with her distant cousin, Édouard Ruellan, their parents arranged a betrothal. With her marriage agreement in place, Amne accompanied the Ruellans to Coruscant in Year 3 when they were invited to the Imperial Court as per tradition.^[1] Amne and Édouard were married upon their return to Procopia in Year 4; their son Calixte was born near the end of the following year. Amne was widowed in Year 10 after six years of marriage. Motivated by Cherokee's ascension to the Imperial throne in Year 11, Amne decided to enlist in the Imperial Army. Calixte, aged 5, remained in Tapani as his grandparents' heir.

Career

"Amne Zailyn — the capable and ambitious commander of the 5th Brigade, whose lasting contributions to that unit and to the Legion cannot be tidily summarized."

— Brigadier General David Terrio^[2]

Amne was promoted to Master Sergeant upon her completion of basic training at the Imperial Academy and assigned to serve in the 1st Imperial Legion under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Califf D`Troit. Notable among her fellow legionnaires were Elvira Falston, Dragomir Kies, Santiano Salazar, Felix Stones, Dante Erinith, Kol Seraph, Tamarynn Farr, Igneus Esh, and Redme Schwarz. Amne was assigned to the Sabres and sent to scout for any signs of rebel bases or hostile armies. The Sabres found and captured a number of hostiles that had established hidden bases throughout the system and retook some occupied Imperial buildings. The Immortals took it upon themselves to map their assigned sectors, marking potential microjump points and updating the political maps of the planets. They were commended with special recognition upon the conclusion of Operation Blitz, after the inspection of 4 systems with 30 planets in total. With the creation of brigades, Amne served as the commander of the 4th Reconnaissance Battalion of the 1st Brigade until she was reassigned to the Corporate Sector to serve as the executive officer of the 5th Brigade.

Amne was soon awarded an MID, a testament to her seamless integration into the reconnaissance brigade. When her commanding officer, Captain Deryk Ysenm, had to take an extended leave of absence for medical reasons, Amne succeeded him as the commanding officer of the 5th Brigade and resolved to follow his example to the best of her ability. It was during this time that she came to work closely with those in her Sector Command, including David Terrio, Agramon Kane, Eric Jackson and Everard de Montfort. During the 2nd Legion's deployment for Operation Sovereign Canopy, Amne was invested with the authority to command and direct all active Imperial forces on Derra IV in the absence of Lieutenant Colonel Kane. Their joint deployments allowed her to work with commanders such as Edward Canfield, Santiano Salazar, Akai Ai, Tyrren Montari, Lane Rendell, Navarro de Molay, Cora Ersin, Redme Schwarz and Benedict Tharandon. She was awarded a letter of commendation for her efforts, and she was promoted to Major in recognition of her time served and the exemplary nature of that service, both as commander of the 5th Brigade and of the joint forces on Derra IV.^[3]

In Year 15, after serving as the commanding officer of the 5th Brigade for 21 months, Amne relinquished command of the brigade to Major Bailley Zion during a ceremony in the Corporate Sector. High Colonel Kane commended her for being an exemplary Imperial officer and awarded her the Imperial Activity Medal for her "dedication and modest service to the 5th Brigade."^[4] Amne, no longer invested with command authority, currently serves as the Army Signals Officer.

Personality and traits

Relationships

Amne first met Euna Miriel early in Year 12 when they were assigned to protect computer specialist Thalia Brando as they all posed as escorts for Daelis Stanov, an II agent undercover as a wealthy businessman offering to sell Imperial supplies to a warlord of Garos. While working together, the two developed feelings for one another. Though their relationship was often interrupted by their duties, Amne and Euna found ways to communicate with each other. In Year 13, Amne changed her permanent residence to the Scheherezade, the C-3 registered to her and Miriel. At the end of the year, Amne and Euna received notice that their brigades would be among those deployed to the war-torn surface of Derra IV. Though they were grateful to be reunited when Amne arrived as part of the second rotation, Euna was much changed by the suffering she'd undergone and witnessed during the first rotation of Operation Sovereign Canopy, known to have contained the fiercest and most stubbornly contested battles against the Galactic Alliance on Derra IV. By the end of her deployment, Amne and Euna were engaged and expecting their first daughter together.^[5] The expectant mothers applied for transfers to non-combative roles in the Army, Amne to Signals and Euna to Logistics. They married in a private ceremony near the turn of the year, four months before the birth of their daughter Hélène in Corellia.

Children

Amne has two children. Calixte Ruellan, her son from her first marriage, was born on Procopia in late Year 5. Between the years 11 and 15, he was under the care of his grandparents in Tapani. Euna gave birth to their daughter, Hélène Miriel, in a Corellian medical station early in Year 15.
