Veqlargh nep

'**veqlargh nep'** is a galactic enigma; no one knows who she is, what she is, or where she is from. Those that come to know her personally, however, discover that this petite woman is utterly ruthless in her agendas and adamant in her beliefs. Not shy to express her views in matters that she finds worth her time, she also manages to advocate her xenophobia in these expressions, though she does so with wit and subtlety when needed. What she did prior to attaining her position as representative of the 52nd Legion is unknown but it was clear that the latter was, by far, the least lucrative position to her. However, it did not prevent her from continuing her schemes of manipulation and persuasion.

# History

First sighted shortly after the Praxis Incident and the signing of the First Khitomer Accords in Klingon Imperial territory, no one within the Empire could deduce where she came from or how she seemingly appeared out of thin air. However, these thoughts soon drifted from the minds of the general populace as she began to blend into the background. There were few still attempted to learn her origins, spurred on by doubts and suspicions past down through the generations.

Many of the superstitious folk eventually came to believe that she was a demon and was responsible for the events that occurred between the Federation and Klingon Empire after the dissolution of peace in 2399 and the declaration of active war in 2405. While this clearly wasn't the case, there was nothing she could do to stop them from preaching, what she considered, fanciful speculation. Despite this, she continued with her work until she discovered that the Federation had found its way into the Outback through her espionage agents. Realizing that a Starfleet presence was there, she immediately made arrangements to stall their exploration of the dwarf galaxy. While multiple attempts failed, there was a notable success through the hiring of Changeling psychopath, **Draxus Raynor**, though this success was short-lived after the war criminal mysteriously vanished.

After all attempts made to halt the advance of the 26th Fleet within the Outback failed, she proceeded with launching another foray of attacks against them, but was assailed by members of the House of Duras and the House of Korath within her office on Qo'noS. She was able to defeat the assassins and fled in a shuttle owned by the **House of J'mpok** into the Outback. She was rescued by members of the 52nd Legion, including Major General  Ro'Tal, who, as punishment for her actions (a personal matter also for the General), conscripted her into the ranks of the Legion as its Ambassador. With her authority stolen and the High Council under the illusion that she was dead, she begrudgingly accepted her duties, and was henceforth simply referred to as 'Ambassador'.

# The Outback

## The Draxus Raynor Incident

The Ambassador, still performing her duties from the Klingon Homeworld, made initial contact with the dreaded Draxus Raynor through her associate, **Brota**, who, at the time, was the commanding officer of the IKS *y'Pon* and guard to the ambiguous woman. The Ambassador, having relied on the Klingon for his services in the past, called on him to retrieve any information possible about the 26th Fleet's presence in the Outback (for personal reasons). Upon acceptance of this task, Brota began sending transmissions to select others he felt were capable of handling the mission, including Raynor. As soon as they were all gathered on the **Ning’Tao Bird-of-Prey**, proceedings began where their employer personally briefed them on their objectives: To retrieve any and all information as possible regarding the 26th Fleet by any means necessary. Their target: Murray Hawke.

Over the course of the next several weeks, a string of unprecedented attacks on 26th Fleet assets occurred, with Raynor claiming to be the mastermind responsible for these criminal activities, however it grew apparent to the Ambassador that she would have to keep a close eye on her weapon, feeling that he was too unhinged to maintain focus on the overall objective and believing his actions would draw the attention of the Starfleet presence to them sooner than she wished.

## Negotiations with the 26th Fleet

One of the first duties of the Ambassador was to make contact with the 26th Fleet in order to facilitate official negotiations regarding joint efforts in the exploration of the Outback. In turn for trading Dilithium and other supplies, the 26th Fleet requested assistance from the 52nd Legion in the apprehension of Fennec "The Fox" Vulpes and that he also be held in Starfleet custody as opposed to under custody of the 52nd Legion. Finalized details of the negotiations were formatted and produced between the Ambassador and Ambassador Lorien Toprill, the official representative of the 26th Fleet, however, since then such discussions have been incredibly brief, or even non-existent, as the two Fleets have been focussing on other matters respectively.

The Ambassador, along with her colleague Ferr'kuj, had recently approached the 26th Fleet in regards to the Futara Union and their current position. While having nothing to properly add to the present knowledge the 26th Fleet has, currently, on the fledgling Hegemonic government, the Ambassador now begins to plot her next move, with the Union in mind for her next play against not only the Federation but the Romulan and Klingon presence in the Outback as well.

## Freedom from the 52nd Legion

With the Iconian War over, changes in command were made, which included the dismissal of General Ro'Tal from the 52nd Legion. As a result of this, along with the fact that the High Council thought her still dead, she was incidentally freed from the shackles that had kept her locked to the Firebase. Casting her title of Ambassador away, she left the confinement of the 52nd Legion's base and began her exploration of the Outback, but it is an exploration with a purpose, an objective, in mind. Her departure also allowed the Legion's personnel to finally speak their mind, branding her 'veqlargh nep' - Demon of Lies - and believe her to be the cause behind several disappearances that occurred on the Firebase. Disappearances that were never successfully solved. One such possible victim was the infamous scientist and joined Trill, Nex.
