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. Born on Procopia to noble émigrés, Zailyn was raised with the honors and privileges almost exclusively extended to Tapani nobles. After being widowed as a young mother, Zailyn 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, Zailyn 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 Zailyn was born the daughter of Lydia Zailyn and Arnaud Ruellan, former members of the Hapan nobility who fled the Phoenix Revolution and its aftermath. She was raised among the émigrés who took refuge in sympathetic sectors—notably Kuat, Corellia and Tapani—and set up exile courts led by surviving claimants to the Hapan throne. The exiles never posed a serious military threat to the reformed Hapes Consortium, but they were accepted by and often married into the local noble houses. At the age of sixteen, Zailyn married Guillaume Ruellan, a Tapani noble and her father's nephew,[1] and gave birth to their son Étienne nearly two years later. Zailyn was widowed in Year 9 after five years of marriage. Following a proper mourning period, Zailyn enlisted in the Imperial Army. Her son, a mere toddler, remained in Tapani as his grandparents' heir.

Career

"This is the Spirit of The Immortals - that no matter what Catastrophies strike us, we will stubbornly rise from the ashes and flap our wings, unleashing our fearless spirit against the enemies of the Empire with the power of the Phoenix!"
Dragomir Kies[2]

Zailyn 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. Among her fellow legionnaires were Elvira Falston, Dragomir Kies, Santiano Salazar, Felix Stones, Dante Erinith, Kol Seraph, Tamarynn Farr, Igneus Esh, and Redme Schwarz. Zailyn 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, Zailyn served as the commander of the 4th Reconnaissance Battalion of the 1st Brigade until she was appointed executive officer of the 5th Brigade.

"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[3]

Now assigned to the Corporate Sector, Zailyn worked with Deryk Ysenm as his executive officer. Zailyn was soon awarded an MID, a testament to her seamless integration into the reconnaissance brigade. When Ysenm retired from military service, 2nd Lieutenant Zailyn 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, Zailyn 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.[4]

Personal life

Zailyn 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, Zailyn and Miriel found ways to communicate with each other. In Year 13, Zailyn changed her permanent residence to the Scheherezade, the C-3 registered to her and Miriel. At the end of the year, Zailyn and Miriel received notice that their brigades would be among those deployed to the war-torn surface of Derra IV. Miriel 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. Though they were grateful to be reunited when Zailyn arrived as part of the second rotation, it was not an occasion that they remembered fondly. By the end of her deployment, Zailyn and Miriel were engaged and expecting their first daughter together.[5] The expectant mothers applied for transfers to non-combative roles in the Army, Zailyn to Signals and Miriel to Logistics. They married in a private ceremony near the turn of the year, four months before the birth of their daughter Hélène.
