Alynn Sel'boll

Admiral **Alynn Sel'Boll** is a female Human Warlord ruling over several Outer- and Mid-Rim sectors, including most notably the Chommell sector. She is fiercely loyal to the Imperial military in general, and the navy in particular, defending her warlording as attempting to uphold Imperial laws and values, while others were establishing power bases.

## Early Life

Born to a prestigious military family, Alynn grew up in a life of luxury on her homeworld of Corellia. Wanting for nothing, Alynn learned of her family heritage at a young age, and spent a lot of time studying wars and battles of the Republic's past, and even as a young child, she showed great leadership potential.

Alynn joined the Judiciary Forces of the Republic as an officer in near record time, having her career watched closely by many of the top ranking officials in the Forces, though despite the tensions after the Blockade of Naboo, she had been presented little opportunity to prove herself. The outbreak of the Clone Wars, and the subsequent merger of the Judicial Forces into the Republic Military finally gave Alynn the opportunity she was seeking, rapidly climbing the ranks to Captain, and receiving her own command. In the final days of the war, she had just received command of the Venator-Class Star Destroyer *Origin*.

Under the New Order, Alynn was quickly side-lined and relegated to lower status command, both due to her status as a member of the old guard, but also due to the inherent sexism of the new system. While Alynn quietly chafed against this, her loyalty to what she believed to be the heir to the Republic's military allowed her to square away her grievances and continue to serve, and follow her orders, to the best of her abilities. This included participating in the days of the Tarkin Doctrine, having overseen several orbital bombardments on civilian targets without so much as a moment of hesitation.

## Post Endor

After the battle of Endor, Alynn had been lowered in status again, being moved from her Victory-II class command to the Tartan-class *Determination*, little more than a corvette. As the Empire began decomposing around her, Alynn began taking fate into her own hands, fed up with the constant insults she had suffered at the hand of the New Order, she plotted and executed a mutiny in her fleet, replacing the young and incompetent Admiral, granting herself his rank after imprisoning her superior.

In the years leading up to Grand Admiral Thrawn's arrival, Alynn would use her tactical and strategic talents to carve out her own slice of the Empire to rule with a fair, but ironclad fist. Her ultimate ambition was to reunite the fragmented warlords, which was cut short by the arrival of the Grand Admiral, and his rallying call. Alynn, like many warlords, joined Thrawn's Confederation, and assisted in the destruction of the New Republic naval power. At the end of the campaign, Alynn was left to govern her own territory as Thrawn started to deal with warlord in-fighting.

## Personality

Best described as a firm, but fair leader, Alynn Sel'boll commands respect through rapport, a trait that very rarely seen amongst officers in the Empire. Those under her command will find her to have a genuine care for those she leads, and puts their wellbeing first in almost all situations. Only rarely does Alynn gamble with the lives of her crew, and so far in her long history of command, casualties under her have been extremely low.

When approached, Alynn is confident and well spoken, carrying an unmistakable Corellian accent. She typically keeps judgement to herself, though can be provoked into argument if her abilities are questioned, particularly without basis, or when her loyalty is challenged. Alynn carries great pride in her family's history of service, and does not suffer insults against them, or the military they have all served. It is of note that Alynn's loyalty is to the Imperial Military, not it's civilian institutions or even it's values, historic or current.
