Anyci Aurelia

**Lady Anyci Aurelia** also referred to as simply **Aurelia**, is a noble of the powerful House Aurelia. Lady Aurelia played a crucial role during the Colonial Wars under Alexander Romius, as part of the Emperor's Council and as a loyal prodigy to Romius' legacy. Prior to which she was the Overseer of the planet Orisa Nova under Emperor Vance Thaddeus.

Following the Colonial Wars and the death of Romius at the hands of the Unified Governments of the Republic, Lady Aurelia's whereabouts remain unknown and as of current she is considered deceased along with the rest of the Emperor's Inner Circle.

## Early Life, Reign of the Federation

Anyci Aurelia was born in 58 BEW to Varus and Edna Aurelia of House Aurelia, and lived a luxurious life on the planet of Orisa Nova under the Ra'dam Federation. House Aurelia was one of three other noble houses which made up Orisa Nova's upper classed society. Anyci was an only child and the majority of her youth years revolved around education and learning trade skills to one day inherit House Aurelia which earned its place in nobility through its ingenuity with trade on both the galactic market and in secret - the black market.

Anyci enjoyed her life under the Ra'dam Federation, on one hand it was good because of the vast amount of corruption within it could be flipped and used to her House's favor and because the Federation had no real authority on their planet as Orisa Nova was so critical to the Federation economy that the superpower very much would kneel to Orisa Nova.

Anyci was quick to make note of her father's actions during the Avaxius Insurgency where he would play both the Ra'dam Federation and the Avaxius Insurgents, funding both to double the profit. Anyci would ask her father why he would fund a war which would keep it going in which she was told that he cared little for the lives of the less, all that mattered was profit and power. These words would stick with Anyci for years to come.

## Cerberus Galactic Conflict

By the age of 23, Anyci Aurelia had become one of the most renown nobles on Orisa Nova and married a man of whom would be centered in his own business based on the planet of Thera. A prestigious man of his own named Donald Thorn. Thorn would eventually re-locate to Orisa Nova with his wife - who still held her maiden name as for control of House Aurelia. Anyci would be a secondary to House Aurelia as her father, Varus, had gained a multitude of wealth after the Avaxius Insurgency and used it to secure his position despite his age.

When it was revealed the Ra'dam Federation would once more enter a war, the Cerberus Galactic Conflict, Varus was quick to pull the same scheme as before. Anyci joined her father as it was what she was born and raised to do - help House Aurelia survive and keep its power in the world even if it meant endangering others.

House Aurelia's schemes would prove dire as the United Colonial Frontier and the Federation Military would be funded with weapons. With the UCF becoming a greater issue, it led to colonial militias looking to arm themselves more so especially as the Ra'dam Federation began to become destabilized as enemies from within and without began to take a toll on the human superpower. All of this occurred as credits flooded into House Aurelia and even more into Varus Aurelia's pockets. However their greatest buyer only came around the mid-point of the war in 28 BEW, the Orisa Daval. Rumors circulated around Orisa Daval, claiming that Hato Circ had been preparing to take action against the Federation, others claimed Orisa Daval was about to reinforce them. All these were proven false as Orisa Daval stated that its militia was simply holding its own against the rising UCF menace and had and always would follow the Federation's colonial laws. After a brief investigation the Federation allowed Orisa Daval to be flooded with arms.

When the Act of Colonial Commission passed with Councilor Vance Thaddeus granting the act to Orisa Daval, Viceroy Hato Circ took it upon himself to start forming an actual military as opposed to a militia while keeping within Federation regulations. As the Federation's grip on Colonial Space weakened substantially by 27 BEW, Varus no longer sold arms to the Ra'dam Federation furthering their dwindle as Anyci's father saw more to gain through Colonial Space being in an uproar. Anyci had been tasked with caring for House Aurelia and Orisa Nova as a whole while Varus went throughout human space furthering his business deals and filling his banks. Around this time is when Anyci began questioning her father, on one hand she knew that in order to thrive and endure one must be willing to make sacrifices but on another hand Anyci also knew there was other ways to go about this, though she never spoke up or questioned her father openly these thoughts lingered in the very far reaches of her mind. Instead Anyci focused on preparing Orisa Nova for the inevitable siege by the Cybros Dominion, ensuring her forces had the best weapons, training and equipment at their disposal. Even going as far as buying out mercenaries and jury rigging cargo ships to be used as warships along side Orisa Nova's Defense Fleet.

Much to Anyci's shock by late 24 BEW word had reached the Colonial Space about the Fall of Ra'dam and collapse of Ra'dam Federation, humanity waited at the brink for the Cybros Dominion to bulge through Colonial Space and obliterate everything and everyone - but it didn't happen. Furthermore Varus Aurelia had returned to Orisa Nova, marshaling the Defense Force and preparing them for any attempt by other colonies to sack Orisa Nova of its riches. Despite the Fall of the Federation, House Aurelia continued business, arming colonies to war with one another and with due time believing that House Aurelia could become the most powerful force in Colonial Space as there would not be a single force in the galaxy that could stand against such a mighty force supported by mass income. While Anyci braced herself for a bright future, her father had no intention of ruling only continuing to cause chaos among humanity to fund his greed. Small attempts were made to assassinate Varus and cause confusion and dismay on Orisa Nova but they all failed.

Orisa Nova now stood against the test of time, having survived Avaxius Insurgency and Cerberus Galactic Conflict. House Aurelia along side its sister houses would amass a great new empire. While colonies warred and politicians continued to argue, Orisa Nova would become a shining star among the darkness the lingered over humanity. Many of the upper class fled to the safety of Orisa Nova under the guise of protection, though Varus - now considered the ruler of Orisa Nova via power and wealth, taxed foreigners heavily hoping to drain them of their wealth and force them to become desperate and do radical things for survival only to be shot like dogs. Varus enjoyed the torture of his 'subjects' much to the dismay of Anyci of whom had begun to grow a deep hatred of her father. During this time her husband, Donald Thorn would re-locate to Thera under corporate business leaving Anyci alone, though she openly expressed disliking about her father to Donald, he seemed to be on board with her father's actions however was in the middle about his treatment of the people he served. Anyci had begun a coup to overthrow her father's tyranny of his own people and the rest of humanity. While others had failed in the past, Anyci had an advantage - she was his daughter and a trusted advisor. She could get close to Varus without being considered questionable. Varus had lied to everyone except her, she knew her father pulled strings from the dark and had made shady deals to continue his end goals. While on the outside Varus was considered honorable, courageous and a monument of what a leader should be. It disgusted Anyci and she knew who he truly was had to be revealed. But before Anyci Aurelia could take actions into her own hands a new foe would arise to challenge Orisa Nova and the galaxy itself...

## Emperor Thaddeus & The Colonial Wars

Only months after the Cerberus Galactic Conflict had ended the Fall of the Federation, a new force emerged from the shadows, one that rivaled anything that Colonial Space had ever seen and their first target was that of Orisa Nova. The Orisa Empire had torn through the ashes of the Federation and began their onslaught of conquest through the now freed space that was inhabited by humanity.

--end revisions for now--

Tragedy would strike at the heart of Orisa Nova, a year after The Cerberus Galactic Conflict. Colony Politics would boil over as the newly formed Orisa Daval Empire would invade all nearby colonies in the Orisa System -- including Orisa Nova.

House Aurelia's funding had gone to former Federation Councilor turned Emperor's secret project to take over Human Space, they had funded the Orisa Daval Empire which had been lying dormant waiting for the Federation to fall before taking action.

Orisa Nova's Defense Force proved ill equip to take on the massive armada that was the Empire. House Aurelia's elite forces of the Aurelian Guard could not even stand a chance against their power. Orisa Nova fell, House Aurelia was forced to transfer all of their credits to the Empire's war effort. Lady Aurelia's father and herself were brought to Orisa Daval where they were interrogated, her father was killed but an officer within the Emperor's Council saved her by convincing Emperor Thaddeus himself to cease her execution as she would be more valuable alive and used as a resource to keep Orisa Nova in check. The man who saved her, she would consider a mentor, a friend and even a father figure -- General Alexander Romius.

With this, Lady Anyci Aurelia was to over see Orisa Nova in the name of the Daval Empire, she was tutored by General Romius throughout her time under the Empire's banner. Though Aurelia was happy to be alive, she was not so happy to watch her home be stripped of life and turned into a war zone. Lush forests and green grassy hills, replaced by military fortifications and weapons research plants. Powerful, sprawling cities that mimicked those of Ra'dam had now been turned into ghettos and ruins.

Early-Mid war was when a special project had begun on Orisa Nova, prioritized over everything else. Emperor Thaddeus was brief with Aurelia when he asked about it's progress, which she had not much insight on but nonetheless told the man what he wanted to hear. Aurelia would note that Orisa Nova had only had a small fleet in orbit defending it but now as this project began it's middle stages, it seemed as if Thaddeus had sent an entire fleet to guard the planet.

Aurelia would meet with General Romius numerous times throughout this time. She would change who she was from someone seeking wealth and power to being someone who cared for her people and their well being. That money was secondary to helping those in need. Power was important but Romius often used Thaddeus as an example of corruption from power - which Aurelia took note of.

Lady Aurelia controlled and dictated the Empire's holdings on Orisa Nova with pride and commitment.
