Admiral Daala

**Natasi Daala** is the first Human female to reach the rank of admiral in the Imperial Navy and led the forces in the deadly Maw Installation.

Born on Irmenu but raised on Botajef, Daala enlisted in the Imperial Navy on Carida, but was discriminated against due to her gender. However, she achieved success thanks to Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, who discovered her after she defeated many skilled Imperial opponents in simulated battles, using an alias to hide her true identity. Tarkin took her under his wing, and as he rose in the ranks, so did she. She became his lover and was eventually promoted to admiral by him.

She was then sent to oversee the top-secret Imperial research facility known as the Maw Installation. There, some of the best scientists in the galaxy worked on new concepts, designing superweapons for the Empire. She resided there with four *Imperial I*-class Star Destroyers for years, unaware of what was happening in the galaxy.

At a certain point, which curiously corresponds with the time Thrawn was defeated, he began to make moves to consolidate power for herself among various warlords.

Using a strategy more common to the old Rebel Alliance, she seems to be investing in quality over quantity as she reassembles her fleet, using knowledge only those in the upper echelons of power in the Empire would have as where those resources exist.

As of 10 ABY, the greater galaxy is unaware of her presence, but the leadership in the New Republic is taking her growing threat under consideration - especially after discovering documents relating to the Super Star Destroyer *Knight Hammer.*
