## Early Life

Born to a Mirialan Family in 18 BCV, Vorus was quickly orphaned due to a plague that hit his homeworld. His parents died, and no living family relatives were found. For almost ten years, he lived in the Foster System, being shuffled between many worlds, before being found by the Chiss Esp'ara'Joralis, who saw much of his younger self in the Mirialan boy. Joralis adopted Vorus at the age of ten, and has been the only true family the Mirialan has ever known.

At the age of sixteen, Vorus was accepted into one of the most prestigious Military Academies in the Republic. He studied Naval Doctrine, Communications, and Ship Design, graduating early at the age of twenty to enlist as a Lieutenant in the Navy. He was quickly assigned as Chief Communications Officer aboard his father's Flagship, the *Chimaera* until early in the Hutt War when his father was recalled to Coruscant to act as the newly elected Chancellor's Minister of Defense. Vorus returned with his father to work within the Ministry of Defense during this time, meaning he was not aboard the *Chimaera* when it was captured during the war.

After losing many of his friends, and almost losing his godmother, Captain Sila Dentae, to this incident, Vorus realized he wasn't truly cut out for the military. He decided to turn in his commission and settle down for a time with his partner, Phillip Ventella. Near the end of his father's tenure as Minister of Defense, Vorus and Phillip moved off Coruscant to the capital city of Naboo: Theed.

On Naboo, Vorus's partner proposed to him in the Lake Country, which Vorus happily accepted. Though his partner continues to work on Naboo, as part of the Queen's Royal Guard, Vorus has now returned to Coruscant to be with his father after the latter's election win for Supreme Chancellor. For a time he debated applying for a job within the Military Department of Research and Development in order to put his design skills to good use, especially after being the sounding board for his father as the senior Joralis designed the Hawk- and Vulture-class vessels for the Navy.

After finally deciding to apply to the MDRD, Vorus was easily accepted for his proposal of Project [REDACTED], becoming a co-lead on the green-lit project. He now spends the bulk of his time working aboard the LMRS ironing out the details and quirks of the project with his team.

## Personality

Vorus takes after his father in quite a few aspects, though he is not as calculating as the man. Vorus is kind and gentle usually, but can turn cold when necessary. His temper, though hard to spark, can burn any being who makes the mistake of insulting Vorus or his father.

He is fiercely defensive of his father, and his fiance, telling off anyone who makes even a snide comment, or informing them of the proper way to respect others. When in deep thought, such as designing ships, he takes after his father even more, tuning out much of his surroundings and becoming extremely focused.

## Achievements

Vorus commissioned into the Republic's Grand Navy at the rank of Junior Lieutenant when he was twenty, being promoted to Senior Lieutenant by twenty-two, before turning in the commission and effectively retiring from the Navy.

He is cited as a reviewer for his father's designs of the Hawk-class Light Cruiser and Vulture-class Frigate.

He is also cited as the creator for the base frame of Project [REDACTED], a project green-lit and classified by the MDRD.
