Class: Businesswoman corporate military leader
Gender: Female
Age: 29
Height: 1.65 meters
Race/Species: Human
Appearance: Xalandra Nova is a prominent businesswoman of average stature with voluminous black hair that falls down around her shoulders and frames her face in which her crisp emerald green eyes pop out. Rather pale, she can attest to her rather comfortable lifestyle that doesn't require her to be under the light of any stars for long periods of time. She is often seen wearing simple yet lavish robes made of the finest silks and cloths, often being rather loose fitting with a few accents of color and a necklace of jewels or precious metal. These robes are to cover up the lightweight Mandalorian armor that she wears beneath her exterior clothing to protect herself at all times. Sitting upon her hips are two twin boasters that she inherited from her father.
Home world: Born on Mandalore, but grew up on Concord Dawn
Personality: A charismatic woman whom is extremely manipulative and can twist peoples' words and minds before they even realize it. While her beauty and charm are both pleasantries, she is also an extremely vain woman.
Biography:
Xalandra Mirta Nova was born on Mandalore in a medical facility of the coastal city of Keldabe. Her parents were middle class employees of a trade company on vacation at the time of her birth. Following the arrival of their firstborn daughter, the Novas returned to their homeworld of Concord Dawn, where young Xalandra was raised into a comfortable and quiet life and educated in the finest schools. Her father became more prominent in the Commerce Guild and made a very good living, thus beginning Xalandra's affection for the finer things in life. Due to her parents often being busy with family business, Xalandra was raised primarily by protocol droids, and her affection for this type of droid stayed with her into her adulthood.
Never one being satisfied with a simple life, an adult Xalandra began to visits the high profile clubs and social scene of Coruscant after her years of schooling and education. She learned and adapted quickly to the ever changing face of the Galaxy and when her parents were lost in a tragic starship accident, a devastated Xalandra was left with the family fortune and a scarred psyche. With the vast fortune her father had acquired prior to his demise, Xalandra founded the Nova Corporation, a security and droid company with the Corporate Alliance. Her time in the classroom did not prepare her for the intrigue and manipulation a of society as well as intergalactic business, but Xalandra learned fast. The emptiness and loss she felt was quickly filled with a lust for power and the need to never suffer again. Her considerable beauty and char, enabled her to meet all types of men suitable for her corporate, and personal, needs. With an army of willing soldiers and agents, the Nova Corporation was born.
Weapon(s): She owns a set of twin handheld boasters that she inherited from her father when he died. Solus (her father) has proven his honor and himself to a group of Mandalorians in the past by saving one from an unhonorable death, and he received the pistols as gifts.
Ship: Nova owns not just one ship, but actually a multitude. A fleet if you will. Her parents acquired a large amount of cruisers from a variety of sources. However the brunt of her fleet consisted of three Mandalorian Class Warships. They are strikingly similar to the Venator Class Cruisers used millennia later in the Clone Wars due to Kuat Drive Yards taking schematics of the old Mandalorian Warships. One of these ships serves as her flagship and the mobile Headquarters of the Nova Corporation. In addition to these, she had received two Hammerhead Class Cruisers from the Republic due to her mother's great assistance to the Republic. Then she purchased four Consular Class Cruisers from Kuat Drive Yards and two AA-9 Freighters. This makes her fleet level ships strong, with the Mandalorian Cruisers and Hammerhead Frigates being the warships of the group.http://i.cubeupload.com/BIfdhK.jpeg
Strengths: Her charm, beauty, intellect, and clever wit.
Weaknesses: Xalandra is an extremely vain woman whom doesn't take kindly to her beauty being spoken of any less than beautiful. She isn't extremely skilled with melee weapon fighting so lightsabers, staffs, spears, and swords are all foreign for her.
Starting Location: Orbit above Cato Neimoidia
V-3PO: V-3PO is Nova's personal protocol droid of the 3PO series. The droid is a rich emerald green as well and is noticeably polished most of the time. With masculine programming, his purple optical sensors seem to say otherwise until he speaks. For a voice, think of AP-5 from Star Wars Rebels. V-3PO is very commonly seen at Nova's side due to her affinity for the droid model.(Image)
RP Sample:Orbit Over Cato Neimoidia
V-3PO: "Furthermore, reports show that the Jedi Temple has been destroyed and hundreds of Jedi slaughtered. Currently peace talks are being held on Alderaan between the Sith Empire and Republic. What is our course of action?"
Xalandra remained silent, looking through the viewport into open space before turning her gaze to her hired crew at the helm of the ship (she opted out of using Republic soldiers). "The Republic is as good as fallen. They have lost their capital and the brunt of their powerful Jedi. The Republic has allocated us this [Hammerhead Class] warship and two Corellian Cruisers [Consular Class], so we shall use them to our advantage. We are currently between the Inner Rim and Core Worlds, if we leave now we may be able to reach Kuat and take several more Republic Capital Ships to help us build my fleet. They should be in disarray so this should be easy enough." With that, she barked her orders to the helmsmen. "Input coordinates for the Kuat System and inform our escort cruisers as well. Once confirmed, make the jump immediately!"
Nova smiled to herself as the ships began to turn around and angle in the direction necessary to make the hyperspace jump. Soon enough, the familiar blue and white lines of light speed travel engulfed the view ports and they were well on their way to Kuat. Now she just needed to formulate an action plan that would allow her to disable the Republic forces long enough to steal at least a few more Harbinger (Hammerhead) Class cruises. She wanted a fleet and she wanted it now. She turned on her heel and exited the bridge to her personal quarters, drawing up holomaps and creating plans of action.
*Note: RP Sample isn't anything canon regarding the thread.
Very nicely done. Accepted-with one caveat, she can have lightweight Mandalorian armor beneath her clothing, but she cannot have lightweight Beskar'gam, which is explicitly impossible to make lightweight-a durasteel alloy or something in Mandalorian fashion is fine, like what Jango had. I am surprised you know about the Venator knockoffs, that was one of the random one-panel screwups, like the Bellator-Class in SWTOR, but it is fine to have them-keep in mind that, given the statements as to warship length at the time, the dimensions are not identical. The AA-9s will, of course, be replaced with a near-identical ship from the actual time period-no future tech for you.
Danke, and that's completely understandable. The diagram I provided was to showcase what ships her fleet comprises of. Dimensions are kept to about 400-500 meters at a maximum I'm assuming?
