Ophelia Marr (January 7th 3937 / 992 BE) - (January 2nd 4068 / 1123 BE) was a Navantian Star Captain and leader of the 2nd Vanguard. He served during the third Martonian Conflict and Invasion of Zaurak, leaving the service in 1035 to become a bounty hunter and traveller.

## Early Life

Ophelia was created on an incalculable date by The Professor and was intended to be a clone of himself. His birthday is incalculable as he was created whilst travelling in the space time continuum, and thus there was no specific date he existed in at the time of his creation. The clone that resulted from his experiments was, according to The Professor's medical scans, incapable of regeneration, and was thus deemed a "failed clone". The Professor gave him to Trace and Gela Marr, two past associates of his that he did the favor of relocating to Navantia, who adopted him as a son. He would not know of his true origins until much later in life.

## Service

When he reached the age of 16 he began attending the Navantian Space Academy and was trained to become a fleet officer, and quickly rose through the ranks when he was enlisted, coming to the rank of Fleet Captain during the Martonian Conflict in 1014 BE (3959 AD). After valorous actions in war, and showing willingness to heroically sacrifice himself for those around him, he was given Darth Nero's light saber by his father, as it was an heirloom he carried with him since his service with the Imperial Remnants. Ophelia would go on to carry this at his side for the rest of his time in the Navantian Space Force. In 1024 BE (3969 AD) he was assigned to lead a fleet to the Zaurak System to partake in a foreign conflict. The Imperial Class Cruiser that he was on board was not as efficient as the Vanguard Class Interceptors that he was in charge of, and thus he had to stay behind to refuel while the rest of the fleet continued. While attempting to refuel in Galandeur they were stranded in a snow storm, unable to take off due to the harsh winds. When they did finally take off, they found that the navigational system had been destroyed during the storm, and so they attempted to land again on the planet for repairs. They attempted to send a message to the rest of the fleet and notified them they would be staying longer for repairs. The ship then came in on the opposite, uninhabited end of the planet and was burried in the snow in the Mauran Mountains. The crew of the ship then attempted emergency repairs, but found the ship beyond salvation. The communications officer William Turbill sent out a distress beacon, but did not put it on full power as doing so would drain the crew's already dwindling energy resources. By the end of the year the former crew of 45 had been cut down to 18, as most had died of exposure. The 18 that remained shared what little they had of the food rations, but by the end of the second year the crew had resorted to cannibalism, cutting down the number of people to only 3 people remaining, them being Captain Ophelia himself, Medical Officer Lucire Fora, and sous-chef Louis Bateur. The 3 remained for 5 months, with Louis dying the very day a transport from en route to Agammemnon landed to search the ship for survivors. Ophelia, continuously fending off mountain raiders, attempted to fight the rescuers, but found himself too weak to do so. He and Lucire were taken and put in stable conditions and transfered to Agammemnon, they had been stranded for 2 and a half years. When he returned to Navantia he found he had been declared Missing In Action, and it was assumed that he had been killed in a Zaurak surprise attack on the planet that happened a day after their landing. He and Lucire were given a heroes welcome, but there was much scrutiny over the crew's decision to partake in cannibalism.

## Bounty Hunter and Later Life

In 1035 he made the decision to leave the Navantian Navy after almost 40 years of service, feeling he had done all he could in the military. He instead went to the outer rim's frontier systems where Navantia's rule was tenuous or even non-existant, and became a bounty hunter, intending to establish safety and law. He spent most of his time in The Outpost doing mercenary work for The Butterfly. He was, for the most part, welcomed by The Outpost's already colorful crowd of misfits, businessmen, and do-gooders. While in service for The Butterfly in 1041 he found out about his true lineage from The Professor and decided to track him down, meeting his 5th incarnation while helping to prepare for The Heist and became a temporary companion of his. He would later go on to join The Professor on a semi-permanent basis as his chief navigator. He would go make frequent visits to Navantia, telling stories to his parents of his travels and taking them with him once or twice, but decided to settle down when his father died unexpectedly in 1068 at the age of 112, his life having been shortened by stress from his own service and substance abuse. He continued to venture with The Professor, but he moved back to The Citadel in 1091, writing his memoirs and other short stories about his travels, and died in 1123, at the age of 131.
