Lysa Corrik

*"Everything you have done for the galaxy and for us, you are the right person to rebuild our order and make it what it was supposed to be....what it should of been. My destiny is not here at least not right now not until I am able to be comfortable with it again but who knows maybe one day I will return."* - Lysa Corrik to Maxir Rendas on rebuilding the Order of Knights

Lysa Corrik was a human female and a Knight-Apprentice in the Knights of Procyon before its collapse in 3000 A.G.C where she then would be in exile hiding away like many surviving Knights from the Empire of Sudaetti, during her exile she would return to the Outer Ring where she once lived and made a new home amongst the people on the planet of Omurn learning to live in the tribal ways that the people of the planet did. Whilst she lived on Omurn she would eventually meet a passing mercenary named Rix Baize who later revealed that he was a former Imperial soldier but became disillusioned with the Empire and deserted becoming a mercenary working under the Shadow Guild, Rix would lay low on the planet for a couple of days from the Guild after falling into debt with them due to a botched job. As he was planetside he and Lysa would get to know each other more and Rix would offer her a position on his ship to help him with his future jobs however Lysa would refuse this offer believing her days of fighting were over, eventually the Shadow Guild would track Rix down and as they began orbiting the planet he would lead them away from Vam so that the villagers wouldn't be harmed. Even though she did not want to get involved Lysa having now known that Rix too was an enemy of the Empire of Sudaetti she would take a Duyo and follow Rix's ship to another part of the planet where she helped him fend off against the Guild using a blaster instead of her saber maintaining her secret, after this encounter she would decide to accept the offer to join him and so she would become his partner in mercenary work. Just before the Galactic War both Rix and Lysa would help a rebel group destroy an Imperial depot on Astea however Rix would be killed in this mission giving Lysa permission to use his ship and help a group called the Strasian Consortium fight against the Empire in which she would honour this promise acting mainly as a spy and infiltrator for the Consortium, after the Galactic War ended the Astral user known as Maxir Rendas who helped lead the Consortium against the Empire would begin rebuilding the Knights of Procyon on the world of Dulruna and had hoped that Lysa now being much more experienced in the ways of Astral powers would serve as member on the Council of Six in his new Order however Lysa declined having felt that she was not ready to lead or teach a new generation but believed that Maxir would be the leader the new Order needed. Eventually Lysa would return to Dulruna deciding to join the new Order but not sitting on the council and instead becoming a Knight-Elder before her eventual death in the year of 3058 A.G.C.

## Biography

### Early Life

#### Becoming a Squire

Lysa was born on Satis being one of the few Outer Ring planets that housed a temple which now acted as a temple and outpost for the Knights of Procyon after the defeat of the Knights of Dusk, living on Satis she was with her parents who had opened a small business inside the city of Taala like various other people did primarily working as traders and goods vendors. Lysa was able to discover her connection to her Astral powers at a young age and so did her parents who would immediately send her away to the Satis Temple due to them not knowing how else to help raise her, now being forced to spend most of her time within the temple Lysa began her training and initial understanding of what her power was and the purpose it served. This beginning of her training alongside her initiation would allow Lysa to become a Squire within the Knights of Procyon being of both age and ability to wield a practice saber and start her combat training, now understanding the fundamentals of her powers her training would become like many other Squires being put through hard discipline and tough fighting techniques at a young age. Lysa's training would continue as a Squire for around 5 years until she was 15 where she would be of age to be tutored under a Knight who decided to take her under their wing, by this point she was able to leave the temple without an escort and so she would take the time to once again visit her parents by herself telling them of her training and life hoping to become a Knight-Apprentice very soon.

### The Knights End

#### A Knight-Apprentice

The following week after Lysa had visited her parents she would be selected for apprenticeship under her new mentor of whom was a Knight and so she was given her new title from Squire to Knight-Apprentice having forged her saber ready to help her new master in the current war between the Empire of Sudaetti and the Trade Alliance which had been going on for multiple centuries, over the short course of the war that Lysa experienced she would see toll that each war torn planet would have to pay whether they were affiliated with the Empire or the Trade Alliance they would all suffer the same price of death. With the small time that she was able to have respite at the temple on Satis she would meditate on her studies trying to grasp what it truly meant to be as a Knight with various other apprentices believing it was their duty to protect the Empire and the Emperor, whilst Lysa believed in this mantra she would not be so moved by the idea of protecting an Emperor she had never met on a planet that she had never seen but she understood the order and peace the Empire was preaching. During a battle on an unnamed planet within the Mid Ring Lysa would be fighting alongside her master and various other Knights where she saw first hand many of her own fellow Knights being killed many of who she knew but killed like they were nothing, this battle would shake Lysa's already wavering faith in what it meant to be a Knight but despite this she knew that being a Knight meant that she could continue to protect her parents on Satis.

#### Knight's End

In the year of 3000 A.G.C. the war against the Trade Alliance would have hit a respite period as both Empire and the Alliance had burned through a lot of their resources over the war between them allowing for Lysa and various other Knights to return to their assigned temples and recover, in the following days a news broadcast from Sudaetti that would be broadcasted across all Imperial controlled planets would be an announcement from Orron Halcorr who was one of the Emperor's most trusted advisers informing the entire Empire of the Emperor's demise at the hands of the bloodthirsty Knights of Procyon who sought to claim the Imperial throne for themselves. The announcement would call for the disbandment of the Knight's Order stating that any Knight that lived was a potential threat to the civilisation that the Empire had created with the Imperial soldiers stationed around the galaxy including the ones on Satis being ordered to begin killing the Knights, like various other Knights Lysa would join her brothers and sisters in defending the temple and the young Squires that remained inside. The battle would be brutal with the Knights making a great stand dealing heavy losses to the Imperial soldiers however due to both the numbers and range that the Empire had on the Knights they would slowly begin losing warriors and becoming overwhelmed, when the battle was finished Lysa found herself hiding underneath a dead body of one of her fellow Knights for a few hours as she heard the screams of the squires and burning of the temple behind her. Eventually after enough time passed and with there being a little less Imperial patrols Lysa would begin making her way to Taala the city on the planet where her parents would give her shelter as she had nowhere else to go, for a couple of days Lysa was able to be safe with her parents however the Empire would begin knocking down doors in the town as reports had come through Imperial communications of potential survivors of the Knights End had fled towards the Outer Ring which indirectly caused Imperial soldiers and patrols on Satis to look for exiled Knights in the town. Eventually the soldiers would knock on Lysa's parent's house as her parents were known to the Empire due to their relation to her however in anticipation of this her parents would have her leave the house an hour before with some money to get her out of town, before leaving town she would witness her parents being killed by Imperial soldiers likely because they refused to give up any information on Lysa.

After leaving she would come across an Omurr hunter who had left his home to begin exploring other systems within the Outer Ring however visiting his home of Omurn every now and again which Lysa would offer the money she was given by her parents to the hunter to take her off of Satis and to Omurn which the hunter accepted, on the journey to the planet the hunter would proceed to ask what Lysa was on the run from as she seemed desperate to get off of the world given the fact that she had given him all of her money. Not knowing if she could trust the man yet Lysa would come up with a story of her parents' shop and business coming under extortion from a local gang that after her parents didn't pay the amount and tried to stand up to the criminals they were killed by the gang forcing her to run and never look back, since the hunter didn't know much of Satis or the town of Taala he would have no reason to doubt her story and simply agreed that criminals and syndicates were becoming a bigger problem in the galaxy.

### Imperial Rule

#### The Knight and The Mercenary

Upon arrival to the planet Lysa would land near the town of Vam where she and the hunter were greeted by other Omurr who brought them to the chieftain of the tribe for Lysa to plead her case to the chief who after hearing it would allow her to live with their people as long as she contributed, having agreed to these terms Lysa would now have to settle in her new way of life keeping her saber hidden away or close by at times if she ever needed to hide it somewhere else. For 4 years she would become accustomed to the Omurr way of life effectively being a member of the tribe unofficially having mastered and tamed the flying beast known as the Duyo to help her traverse the planet with other members of the tribe, over the course of the 4 years Omurn would get a couple of visits from the Empire who conducted small searches in Vam to make sure that the tribe were not harbouring any fugitive Knights which luckily all searches would come up with no evidence. In 3004 A.G.C the planet would be visited by a mercenary named Rix Baize who sought refuge for a small period of time as he was on the run from the Shadow Guild which given the similar story that was given to the chieftain from Lysa he would allow Rix to have a place to stay for a couple of days, whilst he was on the planet Lysa would interact with him given the fact they were the only two non native people that lived on the planet. Rix would tell Lysa that he had fallen into debt with the Shadow Guild one of the larger criminal syndicates in the Outer Ring after he botched a job he was paid to do and he had to somehow come up with the money, having used her Astral powers Lysa was able to sense that Rix wasn't just worried about them but about something else which he then revealed that he was a former Imperial sniper but he deserted his post after he saw how the Empire became more aggressive with innocent bystanders in their pursuit of fugitive Knights and that whilst he harboured some hatred for Knights he didn't want regular Imperial citizens to be punished for the Knights' actions. Over the next couple of days Lysa would help Rix adjust to his new environment for the small time that he was going to be residing there for however it wouldn't be long before several ships belonging to the Shadow Guild would enter the planet's orbit ready to level the entire town to kill Rix, the former Imperial would leave the town on his ship to another portion on the planet to defend himself against the criminals. Seeing him selflessly take himself away from the village so that nobody else would be hurt prompted Lysa to take her Duyo and go to save him from the thugs pursuing him in which she would arrive just in time to help him only using her blaster pistol and not her saber, the two would hold off against the members of the guild which Rix would thank Lysa for the help informing her that they didn't want him to repay them anymore but instead for his head to be taken back to their leader. Having been helped by Lysa when he thought he was going to die Rix would offer Lysa to come and work with him to help him get back on his feet and work for other syndicates who might be able to protect them from the guild should they ever try to kill him again, despite the easy life she had been experiencing Lysa's urge to do more having not done much with her abilities in the past 4 years would cause her to accept Rix's offer and the two would leave the planet venturing the galaxy for work.

Over a few months both Lysa and Rix began doing work for the Silver Lords a smaller criminal organisation in comparison to the larger Outer Ring syndicates but large enough to be known operating from the planet of Yebbuna and the two primarily would be given jobs such as infiltration and killing of different corporations and data centres for the syndicate, in the beginning of 3006 A.G.C the Silver Lords would uncover a long term Imperial spy that had infiltrated their gang siphoning every bit of evidence and information they could find on the group having now been sent to the Yebbuna Datacentre which was the planet's Imperial data vault containing records of every criminal and recordings of Imperial protected buildings including the planet's prison. They syndicate would contract Lysa and Rix to infiltrate the datacentre and destroy the records that the spy had sent before the Imperial Governor could get his hands on them and use Imperial soldiers to begin cracking down on the gang whilst they dealt with the spy, despite Rix's reluctance to do the job due to the datacentre being government property and one of the most heavily guarded locations on the planet he would accept the job on account of the two needing the money and the probability that they may also be included on the evidence that the spy sent. Seeing as it was Imperial guarded Rix would volunteer to infiltrate the centre whilst Lysa ran communications from their ship due to him having been a former Imperial still remembering certain codes and Imperial procedures that he was able to use to his advantage, he would manage to make it to the control centre of the building where he purged the evidence however after doing so he would be found out and arrested by Imperial authorities. Rix would be sent to the Yebbuna Prison with the Silver Lords inside the prison providing protection to him as he fulfilled the job they had paid him to do but due to the gang coming under the Governor's radar both in prison and outside of it they were being ruthlessly cracked down on with members inside the prison being killed by other prisoners being paid whilst the guards looked the other way and safehouses in the city being raided by Imperial soldiers. For the next 5 years Lysa continued to do jobs for the syndicate however wanted their help in breaking Rix out from prison which they deemed impossible due to the lack of people they had on the inside to help put it in motion like they usually do, instead she would chance meet Dash Harend the leader of the small time pirate crew the Red Raiders who were on the planet for respite before moving on. Lysa would offer the job to Dash and his crew who having been known to take crazier jobs gladly accepted since they were going to be paid for it. With the help of the raiders Lysa was able to blow up a wall into the prison providing arms to the other prisoners and staging one of the largest prison riots that the Warden of the jail had ever seen and this distraction would work with Rix being saved by Lysa and the raiders who swiftly escaped thereafter, the raiders would proceed to take their payment and leave the planet immediately to not suffer any repercussions from their attack with Rix and Lysa doing the same on their own ship. Whilst they were on the ship Rix would joke asking what took her so long but then proceeded to ask her why she did save him as he did not expect her to do that but instead to leave the planet with her pay since they only worked together because it helped them get paid, Lysa would tell Rix that he was one of the only people she could trust now and in telling him this she would reveal her secret of being a Knight-Apprentice in the Knights of Procyon before their eventual purge. Despite their friendship that they had for years Rix still harboured his hatred for the Knights and even more so due to Lysa hiding it from him which she also stated she only did because he had told her that he still hated them, as the two argued Rix would conclude by having them do one more job together and then end the partnership informing her that he made contact with someone in prison who before being sent to Kabboth told him to contact him when he eventually left jail.

#### The Consortium

Rix would use the communication code that the person had given him to contact him via holocommunicator as the person on the other end would answer being the same person that Rix had met in prison telling him that he too had escaped Kabboth to return to his organisation, upon asking more about the group he represented the man would state that he was not allowed to elaborate who he worked for but if Rix and by association Lysa proved themselves on a job his group had organised they may learn more and even be offered to join if they wish. The two would be informed on the job which was helping their contact Kesi Jakal in infiltrating the planet of Astea and destroying a warehouse housing large amounts of munitions and prototype artillery which was planned on being used to quell uprisings across the Mid Ring, Rix and Lysa would meet up with Kesi on his ship figuring the only way to get onto the planet was to be smuggled on or to disguise themselves as workers. Kesi would already have worker uniforms since he had friends within Jita who lent them their clothes and had provided a way to smuggle their weapons onto the world as well if they needed to fight off any Imperials, as they made their way to Astea Lysa would keep hold of her saber deconstructing it so it wouldn't arouse any suspicion upon their arrival which it wouldn't when the trio passed the Imperial checkpoint onto the planet disguised as workers. Once inside the city of Jita the three began navigating their way through various warehouses and factories to locate the Imperial guarded weapons and munitions warehouses and storage units which Kesi had planned to continue infiltrating by utilising their uniforms however Rix would point out that since it was guarded by Imperials they would need specific worker IDs of which they did not have, seeing no other way to get in Lysa suggested no other choice but to use their weapons and blast through into the warehouses and destroy the munitions and prototype artillery. Kesi and Rix reluctantly agreed and the trio began their assault on the guarding Imperials with Rix's marksman shot making light work of most of them making their way into the warehouses Kesi would give Rix and Lysa the targets for them to destroy whilst he went to finish and set the charges for the others, whilst setting their charges Imperial reinforcements would ambush Lysa and Rix who had to run but Rix would provide covering fire for Lysa telling her that if he didn't make it she should go and take up Kesi's offer. Moments later Rix would be shot by the overwhelming reinforcements dying almost immediately which only frustrated Lysa as she had just lost one of the only people she trusted after her parents and someone that looked out for her for years, in retaliation she would activate her saber revealing herself to the Imperial soldiers to be a surviving Knight using both her saber and Astral power to dismantle the soldiers which Kesi who had just arrived would bare witness to. Despite what he had now seen Kesi would force Lysa to leave Rix as all the charges were set and so they needed to leave with both of them making a hasty escape back to their ship where upon their leaving Kesi would blow the charges having a large explosion occur within the city and the objective complete, they would eventually get back to Rix's ship where Kesi stated that in prison Rix had already said that if he died he wanted his ship to go to Lysa. Having seen what Lysa was Kesi would extend Rix's offer to her about joining his organisation the Strasian Consortium which was a growing power and collection of people hoping to one day openly rebel against the Empire of Sudaetti but since she still did not trust him she didn't want to help as a Knight which Kesi would still offer her a role in helping them instead acting as one of their operatives and infiltrators with him as her handler keeping her secret to himself which after remembering Rix's wishes and what he wanted she would accept this new role.

#### Galactic War

For approximately 14 years Lysa would initially serve in her role as an operative and infiltrator for the Consortium before furthering her position within the organisation and by the year of 3025 A.G.C she would be made the rank of major in their army, the same year would be the official year that the war would be declared against the Empire of Sudaetti and a meeting would be held with all the leaders of the rebel or insurgent cells across the galaxy that joined to form the Consortium. Being amongst the higher ranked officers Lysa would come across Maxir Rendas who she would immediately sense his Astral powers being extremely powerful however yet to reach his potential however she would keep her thoughts to herself still not wanting to risk her true identity being discovered, whilst in the meeting she would keep mainly quiet as her superiors and other leaders of rebel cells colluded to formulate a new alliance and bolster the Strasian Consortium not only as a political faction but an alliance of rebels and freedom fighters against the Empire of Sudaetti which they were all in agreement about. What followed would be a debate about who would be appointed as the head of the Consortium being the leader of their resources and military from which multiple candidates were suggested leading to an argument before Maxir's name was put forward as his name was well known through most of the rebel networks for being one of the most successful freedom fighters alongside himself revealing to the room his saber and his own Astral power, with various members at the meeting being sceptical about having a Knight as their leader he would reassure them that he was never a Knight but has been trained to fight and utilise his powers to help free many. Now knowing that he was fully opening using his powers alongside a saber Lysa would believe that Maxir could be the leader that a divided alliance needed to help win what would be a very long war against the Empire and so she would voice her opinion to the room, having heard the stories of the legendary rebel she would support the idea that he should lead the alliance whilst the best officers provide tactical and strategical advice. The room would convene and majority would agree for Maxir to be named the overall leader and commander of the alliance's forces and resources from which they now began their war plans that consisted of a plethora of campaigns within the Outer Ring against Imperial outposts and mid sized Imperial operations as the alliance was still a very small force in comparison to the Empire,
