Biography

Appearance

Thea Corine

Thea Corine stands fairly tall despite her thin frame, at 5'10, her uniform outlines the shape of her lean and athletic body. Red shoulder-length hair gently hangs over the smooth skin of a young radiant face. Her round green eyes, set appealingly within their sockets, scan the room intensively.

Early Life

Corellia, Thea's Homeworld

Introduction

Thea was born on Corellia, her parents were owned a small import/export business and involved in both local and long distance commercial trade. As a result Thea often traveled with her parents were often travelling to worlds in the mid and outer rim. Thus much of her child hood was spent aboard large freighters and other star ships while her family exported and imported commodities and engineering goods. Growing up she saw how chaotic the galaxy had become and her father often expressed strong political opinions in his Discussions. Often when frustrated with contract negotiations with unions, or increased pirate activity, Thea often heard her father claim that the only hope for order or a chance to end to the chaos was through the strength and rule of law provided by the Empire. On her journeys Thea learned to appreciate how a monopoly on the use of force and the strength of law was the only path to maintaining order in the face of pirates and corporate corruption.

Ever since she was a young girl she dreamed of standing on the bridge of a mighty capital ship and often pleaded to her parents to allow her to attend one of the Imperial academies when she was of age. At the age of 15, her parents enrolled her into one of Corellia's private astronautical schools, which was a dream come true for for Thea as she felt this would be a great way to build a foundation before entering the Imperial Academy. The private academy was on the opposite end of the planet, so she moved in with her Uncle who lived nearby, recently retired from CEC. She was a nerd when it came to ships, she learned everything she could about them and often sat near the starport watching ships take off into the stars on their adventures. Thea was most excited when an Imperial cruiser or star destroyer was in orbit and dreamed of the adventures life those onboard had, living among the stars in such a marvel of engineering.

Death in the Family

It was at this time, while attending classes and living with her Uncle, that she learned of her parents death. They had been killed by pirates after they were raided during a routine delivery of CEC equipment to the Mid Rim worlds. Devastated at first and upset at the loss, she felt lost. After some time, Thea used this anger and sadness to focus herself on the goals ahead. She became more determined and focused on her studies and committed herself to entering the Imperial Academy after graduation.

Leaving Home

Thea firmly believed the Empire was the cure for a galaxy plagued by disorder, pirates, and criminal scum. Upon graduating from her school, she hugged her Uncle once more and said goodbye as she left her homeworld on her 19th birthday, finally embarking on a new journey. Thea was determined to begin her new career at the Imperial Academy in Prakith after an intense period of study, she graduated the academy with honors. The day had finally come, she made it, and knew her parents would be proud if they were here. After graduation Thea was eager and honored to begin a new career in the Imperial Navy...

Thea Corine in the Navy

Ensign Thea Corine's First Assignment: Iliabath (Y17 D60)

Imperial Navy Tie Scout

Ensign Thea Corine scanned the horizon as her tie scout slashed through a cloud over the planet Iliabath. It was her first assignment upon joining the Empire and receiving her assignment to the 6th fleet. She knew this was important work, enemies of the empire had been found lurking among the planet, an unacceptable infraction against the Empire. Much of the planet was fairly rural as cities have only just begun to grow and expand, a display of the ingenuity and progress of the Empire as it continued to bring order to the galaxy through the immutable rule of law. Thea manipulated the controls of her vessel, bringing the craft lower as she proceeded to comb another sector of the planet, she glanced at her sensors...nothing, all clear again...shifting her flight stick and pushing the sensitive flight pedals at her feet she banked to the north as she continued her search.

Taking a deep breath, her muscles ached from the long flight, she had been flying for some time now, finding no signs of enemy forces. Perhaps that was a good thing for her first assignment, she thought to herself. Part of her was eager to face an enemy of the empire, to do her part in bringing them to justice. Thus, each time she took a reading from her scanner a part of her was disappointed to find no traces of the enemy. At the same time, she was glad in a way, that was a good thing of course since it is as it should be. The thought of enemy contact also caused some unease, she was still nervous, semi-excited, yet scared. Perhaps this was only natural, she was new to the military and navy life. Ensign Corine was proud and eager to prove to herself and to her chain of command that she could perform her job well in the face of the enemy, yet still scared of how she would react when it finally came down to it. As these conflicting thoughts muddled within the Engine's mind, she thought this was likely a typical feeling shared by those new to the military. It was a new life, vastly different from civilian life, and Thea hoped to learn from those around her who were more experienced.

Realizing she was becoming lost in her thoughts, she snapped her attention back to the task at hand. What was it her father always said..."complacency kills." She knew the routine and monotony of her scouting mission, the long hours, and the uneventful mission so far was dangerous. Several years ago, a veteran once told Thea: "military life is not as glorious as it appears on the holodramas. In fact, if they did make a holodrama of war, it would be rather bloody boring. No one would ever want to watch hours, sometimes days, of nothing but daily routine punctuated by brief moments of intense and violent action, which is quickly followed by more of quiet military routine." with a laugh he grew more serious as he spoke to Thea, saying "that is the real test of military life, preparing for those brief moments of violence and acting with a sense of urgency when it counts."

It was easy to drift, to lose focus, cramped within a tight space for long periods with only the whine of her engines and her thoughts to listen to. No matter the task, it was important to remain vigilant, requiring her to constantly give herself pep talks to remain attentive, despite the repetitive routine of her assignment. This is a inner struggle every soldier must struggle with, an inner battle which is seen by none, waged silently and ferociously within the battlefield of ones heart and mind. Indeed it is an important battle to win, those tempted into complacency by the routine of military life can pay dearly. It takes but only a moment of complacency to be caught unaware and at a disadvantage by the enemy. A short moment which leads to ones death, like a breath of fresh air in the winter cold, it appears only briefly before vanishing from existence. As such, she was determined to remain vigilant. Reaching down she grasped a short thin container, popping it open, she tipped a capsule into her mouth. Biting down, she felt her body react as the pilot stimulant entered her bloodstream. She disliked the idea of pilot stims, but knew it to be a necessary evil on long missions requiring physical and mental endurance.

With a renewed energy, she admired the majesty of Iliabath's aspiring cities, serene oceans and vast grasslands. Lifting her data pad, Thea submitted a report of her progress thus far before reviewing the navigational data to confirm she was on the right course. Slicing through the air, Ensign Corine maneuvered the tie scout towards the horizon, focusing her scanners on the area ahead as she continued her assigned recon route. She was proud to serve the Empire and her resolve only grew as she was determined to fulfill the objectives of this first assignment honorably.
