Adela Maslow

**Adela Maslow** was the female Vundorian that once served as the ambassador of Vundoria to the United Cassiopeian Republic, representing her homeworld in the Galactic Embassy. She was one of the several ambassadors who attempted to defame the Dawns on the galactic stage.

## Biography

### Early Life

Adela Maslow was born on the planet Vundoria. By the time she was an adult, Maslow took the position of ambassador of her homeworld to the UCR.

### Trial of the Dawns

In 5957 ASA, the Praeliorian emissary Gris Véridémi arrived to tell the Galactic Embassy about the wrongdoings of the Dawns—a group of freedom fighters which Véridémi deemed terrorists—while also attempting to earn an observer seat in the embassy. Maslow was one of several ambassadors who backed up the emissary's claims. She claimed that a patient at one of Vundoria's psychiatric facilities, Holly Araneus, was broken out from her stay by the Dawns, despite Araneus being labeled as clinically insane. It was due to Maslow's words and several other ambassadors' defamations of the Dawns that led to the UCR's decision regarding the group: the Dawns were not allowed to set foot on any republic territory, with planets aligned with the UCR making their own decisions on the matter.

#### The Final Hearing

Adela Maslow was present for the final hearing regarding the Dawns. To the surprise of almost all of the Galactic Embassy, the Dawns stormed into the embassy building on the *Gravity Well*, a ship owned by the Morkarian privateer, Tiberius Stede. Accompanying them was House Lafayette, who all mysteriously went missing after Alden Lafayette's sudden resignation as ambassador many years prior. Unfortunately for Maslow, the Cascadian Quaestorium unveiled deeply rooted, blatant corruption within Vundorian borders. Evidence of lobotomies and other such outlawed medical procedures were displayed for all of the embassy to see. Unable to deny these claims, Maslow attempted to avoid blame by placing it entirely on the Oktarachians, putting the blame on her fellow ambassador, Dana Lycosa, who represented the planet Oktarach. Maslow claimed that if Vundoria didn't accept Oktarach's help, all of their asylum funding would be gone. This only proved to cement claims and suspicions of corruption within Oktarachian and Vundorian borders.

Vice Paramount Rhamal Dheis decided that the fate of Oktarach and Vundoria's presence in the Galactic Embassy would be decided by the Cassiopeian Senate, much to Maslow and Lycosa's disappointment and fear.

## Personality and Traits

As ambassador of Vundoria, Adela Maslow knew how to conceal the darker aspects of her planet's inner workings, mainly regarding shady medical practices and the mysterious partnership with the Oktarachian government. She was able to present a positive image for her people and planet until the end of her career, when the Dawns and the Cascadian Quaestorium unveiled all the corruption she tried to hide with hard evidence. Whenever Maslow was caught red-handed, she was prone to pointing fingers in order to take the blame off of herself. It was not uncommon for Maslow to tell lies and half-truths, as for when she claimed that the Dawns were terrorists who broke out a patient from one of Vundoria's own medical facilities, without telling the whole story.
