Dasklo'aell'athindo

**Dasklo'aell'athindo** (formerly, **Thriv'aell'athindo**, **Zaar'aell'athindo**) (Core Name: **Kloaella,** **Vaella, Raella**) was an Aristocra of the Dasklo Family and officer in the Chiss Defense Force. She was born a member of the minor Zaar family, before becoming a Merit Adoptive of the Thriv Family. During Thriv'aes'hrallae's absence from the Chiss Ascendancy, she became the Aristocra for the Thriv Family. After Vaes's return, she stepped down from that position. Vaes used her to secure power in the Ascendancy, forcing the Dasklo Family to make her a Trial Born member and appoint her as Aristocra.

## **History**

### **Early Life**

Zaar'aell'athindo (Raella) was born on the planet Cormit within the Chiss Ascendancy into the insignificant Zaar family. Her father was a member of the CDF stationed on Cormit, and so the young Raella grew up around military-minded Chiss. This experience influenced her to pursue a career in the CDF.

While only a small child, during the time of the Vagaari Invasion, Raella aided the military in any capacity that she could.

After the invasion was halted by her future cousin, Vaes, Raella was admitted into the Chiss military academy on Naporar. She was recognized by the dean of the academy, Admiral Iru'thaw, for her unique military talents. The admiral would later become her staunchest ally within the defense hierarchy.

By the time of her graduation and entrance into adulthood, Raella was noticed by the Thriv Family. She was made a Merit Adoptive of the Thriv Family and became Thriv'aell'athindo (Vaella). In time, she took the Family Trials and became a Trial Born.

### **Service in the CEDF**

Vaella enjoyed her time in the CDF, and served aboard the cruiser *Crahsystora* as part of the CDF Fifth Fleet. Within a short period of time, she rose to take command of the ship. Vaella dreamed of becoming a high ranking admiral of the CDF, and started going by the Core Name of "Aella" in preparation for when her family name would be dropped.

Thriv'aell'athindo was known to be somewhat of an unorthodox commander within the CDF. Virtue of the time she spent on the naval base on Cormit, Vaella developed a keen respect for the common soldier, and sought to earn the respect of her soldiers in return. She sought to maintain high morale among her troops and as a result, she was well-liked by her subordinates. Much to the dismay of many of her superiors, she had a tendency to push the bounds of military protocol, at times dressing out of regulation uniform. Despite this, she surprised the defense hierarchy with the loyalty her subordinates showed her, and *The Crahsystora* was well known to be one of the most effective battleships in the CDF. Many resented the leniency with which the Defense Hierarchy Council dealt with Vaella, but her results spoke for themselves.

However, due to the machinations of Obbic'ebi'raynel and Dasklo'ure'ethindo, the current head of the Thriv Family, Vaes, was sent away, and many other members of family met with unfortunate ends. Vaella became the highest ranking member of the House, and forced to take on the role of Aristocra, despite her limited knowledge of politics. This also halted her progression in the ranks of the navy, as she knew she couldn't abandon her House in this time of turmoil. Despite being frustrated and heartbroken by this new situation, Vaella continued to do her duty.

Once it became clear that the Tarn family sought to eradicate the Thriv Family and take their place among the ruling families, Vaella thought it pertinent to move the household off Csilla to somewhere that could be better defended. To do this, she modified *The Crahsystora*, and moved the family estate brick by brick into the ship, as well as the Household Phalanx to guard it. Vaella's commanding admiral, her former instructor on Naporar, Iru'thaw, was sympathetic, and retired *The Crahsystora* from military service, thus allowing Vaella to get away with her plan.

Vaella was summoned to Kuat by her cousin Vaes where she met with Glyn and Flai Beumaryn, and discussed plans to retake Csilla.

Vaella and Vaes accumulated a large fleet consisting of Chiss, Mandalorian and Tirannan Industries forces. They devised a plan to strike at the Tarn siblings. Sending the Tirannan Industries fleet to the edges of Chiss Space to distract the CEDF and Colonial forces, Vaella and Vaes' fleets went directly to Csilla.

During the ensuing battle, Obbic'ebi'raynel's command ship was destroyed, killing him. Afterwards, Vaes asked Vaella to convince the Obbic Family's young heir Obbic'eni'tolori to surrender. Klouree surrendered her Phalanx forces soon afterwards and was taken into custody.

Vaes and Vaella met with the Nine Aristocra who agreed to reinstate Vaes as an Aristocra in exchange forfeiture of his Mandalorian ranks. Obbic'eni'tolori (Bicenito) also became one of the four ruling Aristocra.

### **Ruling Aristocra**

After an investigation conducted by the Sabosen Family, manipulated by Vaes, The Dasklo Family was considered unfit to produce a ruling Aristocra. Vaella was made provisional Aristocra for Dasklo. The House hotly resented her, but they had no power to protest. initially, Vaella offered to renounce her kinship to the Thriv Family and be inducted into Dasklo, but the Syndics rejected her offer for the time being.

Being an Aristocra complicated Vaella's relationship with the Ascendancy Military. She still remained an officer in the CDF, but her duties as Aristocra made her unable to serve. Nevertheless, her preexisting relationship with Iru'thaw and some of the other CDF commanders made her invaluable for communication with the military.

After the Dasklo Family was implicated in a vast conspiracy to destabilize Vaes' regime, the Dasklo leadership was removed. The remnants of the Family were forced by the Four to adopt Vaella as a Trial Born. Thus, Thriv'aell'athindo became Dasklo'aell'athindo. In order to sell this new role, "Kloaella" publicly distanced herself from Vaes and embraced her role as the Aristocra of Dasklo. However, she began to fundamentally change the house to become more aligned with Vaes' interests, further solidifying his control over the Ruling Families and the whole Ascendancy.

## **Personality and Traits**

### **Personality**

Kloaella was a young and ambitious woman with a knack for relationship. She managed to balance a strong military tradition with a personable (as far as Chiss go), and sometimes rebellious side. She became the perfect morale symbol for her subordinates, and even took time to talk with the lowest grunts aboard her ship when there were no more pressing matters. This approach made her utterly unique among Chiss commanders, and while some resented her for it, others were quite curious, and enabled her. Some Chiss admirals colloquially called *The Crahsystora* "The CDF's Petri Dish"

### **Appearance**

Dasklo'aell'athindo had light, icy blue skin, and wavy blue-black hair that she kept longer than protocol allowed. She was fairly slender, and on the shorter side. She was known for having a well-defined jawline and a shapely face. Her most well defining feature, however, were bright, young eyes which she kept outlines by stick, black eyelashes. Even among the Chiss, her eyes were said to glow.

When Kloaella was a member of the Thriv family, she often wore her family uniform; dark blue garments with white accents per her clan colors. Most of the time, she wore a navy-blue, double-breasted jacket with white up-turned lapels and black buttons. She typically wears close-fitting white pants with ornate metallic blue designs across them, over which she wears high, military-esque, black boots with folded scallops to reveal a velveted blue interior. At the front of the boot collar, there is a clasp with the insignia of her household.

Now a member of the Dasklo Family, Kloaella often wears the Dasklo Family uniform which features Lime Green prominently.

When she is in CDF uniform, she wears the black, tight fitting garb of a naval officer with small armored pauldrons on her shoulders. Kloaella chose to modify one of her uniforms for formal occasions to remove the pauldrons and coverings on her shoulders and neck. This choice, to turn a military uniform into a fashion statement, caused quite a stir among the Chiss elite. Soon, many young Chiss began emulating her style, incorporating military design sensibilities into formal wear. This served Kloaella and Vaes's overall interests in more closely identifying Chiss culture with the military.
