Commander Elara Vance
Race: Human
Background: Elara was born and raised on Argona, a frontier world on the edge of United Commonwealth space that was just beginning to be colonized. Its location made it a prime target for pirates and raiders. When Elara was 17, her hometown was viciously attacked by a band of raiders, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. Elara's quick thinking and bravery during the attack saved many lives, but the event left a lasting impact on her and fueled her desire to join the Star Wardens and protect the Commonwealth from external threats.
After joining the Star Wardens, Elara quickly rose through the ranks due to her intelligence, skill, and unshakeable dedication to the Commonwealth. However, her tendency to act quickly, sometimes without fully considering the consequences, has landed her in hot water on more than one occasion. Despite this, she has gained a reputation as a highly skilled and effective member of the Star Wardens, and her superiors have learned to trust her judgment, even if they occasionally have to pull her out of tight spots.
Description: Lieutenant Colonel Elara Vance is a resilient and determined officer in the Star Wardens. Standing at 5'9" with a muscular build, she has an air of authority that commands respect from those around her. Her sharp green eyes seem to pierce through the darkness, reflecting a mind that is always alert and assessing. Her dark hair is kept short and tidy, a practical choice that suits her no-nonsense demeanor. Her uniform is impeccably maintained, adorned with various medals and insignias that testify to her dedication and achievements in service.
