__________________________________
The Force wars had ended, and the galaxy continued its path forward when she was born to the Noble family of Alderaan's House Baatch, The house rose to dominance in this era and eventually gave rise to other notable individuals such as Dalharil Baatch and most recently Skhai Baatch- as well as those of the Bac family, most famously Alcor, Ahdam, and Ussej Padric Bac. Her mothers marriage into the lesser house of Kheldrommas, led to the birth of famed Jedi Master Talzea Keldroma generations later. Eventually house Baatch fell, and House Kheldrommas became better known as Qel-Droma. There is still debates as to possible ties to others from history that shared this common name.
Though little of this time is well known to most, nor clearly- pieces of her past can be found in the documents of those whom shared the era with her. Adena was best known as the granddaughter of Calid Baatch and his wife Sohna Sanmuriko. Her mother was Calid's eldest daugher Mira, her Father a lesser house attendant Kem Kheldrommas. She was the youngest of this family, Her Brother Khevraan being the eldest, followed by sister Dinara. Both girls showed remarkable talents in the force, and sent to Tython under their grandfather's care to train, eventually serving under long time family friend Xetata Oolass . In time both grew in the force and became close friends with fellow jedi student Kelmah. A bond that Master Oolas believed to be only a good thing for the orders next generation.
The Galaxy was opening up, and as such there was more need for the Jedi to reach out and try to aid the peace between colonies and newly elevated worlds. This process would eventually lead to the formation of the Republic in the coming centuries, yet it was in this time period the Darksphere was discovered by Kel-Ma, Dinara and Adena. The Trio however kept the discovery quiet.
Kel-Ma first managed to access the Sphere shortly after Dinara was killed while attempting to convince with settlers on an unstable world to evacuate. The situation ended in violence. The dark sided pangs of guilt and anger acting as a battery for the device. Kel Ma used this to try and improve the order as he saw it, blind to the influences of the darkside. Young Adena, Mourning her sisters loss, and feeling betrayed by her Grandfather Calid Baatch and rest of the elders for allowing them to undertake the task that led to her death, was first to fall prey to Kal-Ma's words.
Eventually Kel-Ma lost control and influence over the sphere, and with it his control over Adena, who quickly slaughtered him in her rage and took the Sphere for herself.
Her ability to probe deeply into the device was unlike anything the former owner could have imagined. The sphere seemed to speak to her, and her to it as if sentient, and aware of her. It is later revealed that her connection was amplified due to her knowledge of other philosophies taught to her by her Grandfather at a early age.With this she managed to form a powerful new cult that opposed both the teaching of Ashla, and Bogan alike.
It was an envious disciple of this cult that turned traitor and shared the details of the cult to both the Ashla, and Bogan. Both sides saw the immediate threat to their ways, and both set aside their differences in an unprecedented act to put an end to the group. The Cult of the Sphere was eventually traced to the outer rim, where the Cultists clashed with the combined forces of the Ashla, and Bogan upon the sands of Tattooine. The battle was one sided, and forced Adena to abandon her followers to start again.
This time however she was tracked down, and captured by her Grand Father Calid, and her Mother, Calid's eldest Daughter Mira. While the fate of Adena was being decided, Mira took the sphere and attempted to destroy it for fear that others may one day try to harness it's power. The Sphere however, with the memories, and thought of so many that came before had in fact a will of it's own, and through images of Mira's daughters convinced the woman to simply hide it away.
The verdict came in following a rushed hearing of the Bogan followers; the followers of the Bogan believed that they were following an expanded view of the powers of the Force and grew angry that Adena's actions undermined their efforts for the galaxy to view them as something other than a destructive force. It was their determination that Adena be set adrift in a hyperspace sleep state for eternity, aware of time passing but unable to ever awaken. Mira continued to Teach as a Jedi Bard and eventually forming the Order of wardens following her own studies into what she gleamed from the sphere. Even after the death of her eldest son as the hands of the black hive. Calid battled long and hard to maintain the Noble House, though this incident had done enough damage, and the other houses simply began the long process of trying to rip it down further.
this however was not the end of the woman who would become Viea's story.

Sleep, her body unable to wake, and her mind racing, aware of time passing, aware of the force. Aware of the child that she carried within that had somehow survived the trauma she suffered during the battle on Tatooine. Her pod drifted further and further into the galaxy, even creating legends and stories eons later of force users being able to hear her cries for respite through the force. Yes despite the stories she was never recovered before crossing the galactic boundary and into the small dwarf galaxy cluster known as the Tynnan cluster that sat above the galactic plane.
The time she slept saw a cluster's species rise, and expand to the stars, First the aquatic genetisist species known as Mun-Fectcha, then the enigmatic Danthiri- first reaching the stars through House Darkcaller followed by Ebonclaw and Heartthorn. With an interstellar community forming the Danthiri houses flourished and became wealthy off trade and export with the aquatic species, and explorations and colonizations of others- however this taxed several of the large houses and caught the attention of an ambitious young Matron of house Ebonclaw named Lirreka. Unable to sit idly by while the other houses played nice with the neighbors, Lirrika began turning her influence and forces upon smaller houses, before moving onto larger ones, her aim was to form a power base that rivaled the combined council of matrons, then turn her attention outward to the galaxy. A place, she saw, as lacking the divine knowledge of the lady of pain, and her plans for the great wheel of life.
Not long after her first strikes Lirreka found herself sitting atop the Danthiri social structures, commanding vast forces, scientists, weavers, and more over a nearly inexhaustible wealth. Daring to push further the Danthiri encountered a newly elevated societies, the Crystavians and quickly a savage war erupted virtually splitting the cluster in two. It was while scouting the fields of Dorus that Ebonclaw scouts came upon a small pod in orbit, and quickly recovered it to discover the fallen Je'daii within. News spread to Lirreka who instantly departed to see this -catch. She was nothing less than thrilled when the woman awoke and in a blind panic rained lightning upon the techs seeing to her recovery, and the destruction of the entire medical room. Bemused and awe'd by the humans power and potential Lirreka swiftly moved in, and charmed the Alderaanian. Words thick with honey and venom that few could resist. Being in the state she was- Adena had little fight left and was easily tamed. Not only did She end up sharing technology- she began teaching a few select weavers, and agents of house Ebonclaw in the force. Rising to become one of the Matron's hands and a high admiral known as plakla'uss to those within the house or " the golden huntress" to the enemies. Whispers quickly spread that she also had access to the Matron's chambers. Others wondering when the inclusion of a human into their ranks would backfire. The Matrons gamble was paying off like never before- despite earlier worries her reign extended outwards and pushed Crystavian forces back and now threatened their home world of Azurin. Now cut off by the rapidly growing war the peaceful Mun-Fectcha tried to rally support for the Crystavians but was met by the Golden Huntress's might as she led a massive armada to begin systematically eradicating the species, sparing only a few of their top genetic researchers as per Lirreka's orders. The event was over swiftly, and Lirreka had gained a major asset to assimilate into own.
With her child soon to arrive the huntress took leave and took up residence within the Ebonclaw palace on Delmagh. Eventually delivering a healthy daughter whom she named Nikita. Her red hair and white eyes gave voice to her parentage. The Father, the one whom discovered the dark sphere and started this all, Kel-Ma. Depression hit the Alderaanian hard, reliving the horrors she committed against the Bogan, and Ashla Je'daii alike, the cruel way in which she murdered those she belived had betrayed her- the suffering she felt while in that pod, crying out for an end that never seemed to come. It was lirreka who stepped in and showed the heart and compassion a Danthiri had for those it considered family by tending to Nikita until the Huntress had regained her senses. Yet Lirr was all to aware of a wavering flicker in the Humans will that didn't sit well with her. With child in hand Lirr went to the lead genetics researcher, a loyal Mun named Stythix. He was ordered to accelerate the childs growth and arrange flash learning classes. When old enough she would be sent to study with the weavers, and her asassins- Nikita was to be raised in the way Lirreka saw most useful to her cause, a poweful force user with the knowledge of both the Danthiri arts, and her mothers Je'daii abilities. Nikita's flash learning included direct neural feed from Lirreka herself, teaching the child things no program could, the art of deception and manipulation. Weaknesses that the Golden Huntress possessed, means to exploit those weaknesses, these were what Lirreka imparted upon her assassin. She would in essense create the perfect war hound, should the huntress's resolve ever waver.
Time quickly passed and Adena returned to the front against the Crystavians and Nikita began progressing well in her studies, [floatright]http://imageshack.us/a/img842/6215/uokx.png[/floatright]and skills that made her more dangerous than one would have expected. Yet as Nikita entered her adulthood she began to show troubling signs. The violence and aggression displayed went far beyond what was considered tasteful, even by Danthiri standards. Lirreka kept an eye on this, and used what chances she could to redirect the young human's rage, but knew too well that something was wrong. Adena on the other hand became overcome with guilt, believing her time away had warped her daughter's sense of right and wrong. She began spending time with Nikita, and less on the front, her willingness to fight was slipping and she felt things she believed long forgotten.Compassion, patience. These came to her as if forced by an unseen hand, and the result frustrated the Matron whom saw her initial suspensions begin to take shape. Lirreka did not however put all of her eggs into a single basket. Taking the Genetic template of the child plus that of Adena herself she took the Mun technology into her private lab and began the process of creating a more Danthiri centered framework.
A pinnacle turning point in the war came about when The Golden Huntress led a strike that was designed to obliterate the last defenses leading to Azurin's doorsteps. Nikita accompanied her mother on this mission, drooling over the prospect of adding new jawbones to her collection. These words caught the golden haired warrior's attention, and a knot formed in her stomach. Nikita had become a monster. This lead to more thoughts- reflecting on the very nature of the war, and the matron's mantra " life is pain, pain is life..." Unable to face what she saw as yet another senseless genocide the huntress called off he attack, infuriating her staff, and sending her daughter into a blind rage. Nikita swiftly turned on her mother. Though the fight was short, and Nikita subdued and locked in a cell- the cost of these few seconds would change everything. Angered by Adena's indecisiveness and unwillingness to commit to her duties Lirreka very coldly dismissed the human - She was no longer a lover, nor admiral. in the eyes of the Danthrii she was " matronless" and thus no better than a stray beast. Proven true when she punched Lirreka's young niece after the child mocked her and her for her show of tears.
It was in the arms of a loving Matron,, exiled for her opposition to the war that Adena sought comfort and clarity. Amara, often called " the silver matron" did what she could to help. Trying to ease the human woman Amara, a powerful force sensitive weaver noticed the chaos swirling within. Light, Dark, nothing taking root, no order, no peace. With each tear shed the energies became further unstable. She tried at first to channel them , and hope one or the other side would win out, yet this failed. Time and time again Amara tried to find ways to bring about a sense of order. It was then she realized that something was different. Adena was not acting through the force- the force was acting through her. With this in mind Amara set off and created a crystal that represented a perfect balance of light, and dark energies, and fashioned it into an amulet. With this the swirling madness within the Je'daii became calm, and Adena was able to bring herself out of her despair, however unwilling to strike back against Lirreka. That was however until reports came of a gold haired woman attacking Enemy and allied holdings, a few instances being met by Lirreka herself and easily chased off. Nikita was playing her mother's role, and aiding Lirreka in some unseen game to draw the Alderannian out.
The ploy worked and Adena set out to confront her daughter. Upon finding her it was discovered that the game had gone too far, and Nikita believed herself to be the true huntress. Lirreka's hold over the woman was slipping. Though Nikita swore love and loyalty to " her true Mother- Lirr" her precarious grip on reality made her a liability, one Lirreka had been expecting. Even as Nikita and Adena battled Lirreka was seeing to her newest creation, A perfect blend of Lirreka and Adena in a purely danthiri form, a form that was named Tiera-Qel. What was not expected however was a twin to form, named Dalharil. It was Tiera that was raised to take on the role of dark hand and agent. while dalharil was whisked off to become a weaver. Nikita Nor Adena could have predicted how their lives would play out from that point on. Mother and daughter clashed off and on over many months which rolled into years, neither one able to out do the other. Growing weary of her feuds Adena once again turned to Amara who quickly pointed her out to a Crystavian General whom she had allied with; Korona of clan Anga-rah'mathat
In little time Adena found herself fighting once more, this time on the side of the Crystavians, hoping to atone for the wrongs she had committed and bring about an end to the conflict. Battle after battle saw the crystavian forces slowly free many of their captured worlds and more over a deep romance between the Human and the crystal winged warrior formed. Days spent on the field, nights in taverns telling tales. She Grew to love the General and felt she had finally found a place she could settle, despite the discomfort expressed by others of the species. It was into this campaign that a brazen plan came to take out Matron Lirreka herself. Reports had come in that the matron would be present at the opening of a new biotech ship yard. Having stolen a shuttle Adena and Korona planned to dock and take out the facility, and Lirreka with it. The plan seemed to work as the pr docked with no problems, however upon exiting the craft Adena was instantly attacked by Nikita. The battle was long, and violent, both putting everything they could into each attack, Nikita eventually gaining the upper hand and slammed Adena into the docking bay wall, again and again. Fading in and out of consciousness Adena lost track of what was, or was not. She felt no more pain, could only hear a droning sound from within her head and knew she was near death. In a cocky show of power Nikita charged Adena with all the force behind her, driving them both through the metal wall and to the feet of Matron Lirreka Ebonclaw.
Outraged her final blow was not to be Nikita drew her knife to remove Adenas jaw and kill her the old fashion way. Before the blow could be dealt Lirr lifted Nikita into the air with her own force connections. Wide eyed the attack dog began to cry and plead , reminding lirr how much she loved her. within a flash however Nikita fell to the ground, absent her skin which was now in the hands of her killer. Adena looked into Nikita's eyes and could hear only the faintest whisper of " I'm sorry" before her daughter expired. Enraged Adena pushed herself to her feet broken and clinging to life with only a thread. It was when the woman who would be Lirreka removed her own face- a mask to reveal Tiera. It was a set up from the very start. Tier however did not attack, stating that its no fun to play with your pray when it was half dead. and knocked the human out.
Over the next few weeks Adena lapsed in and out of consciousness, healing from her wounds. She was glad to See Korona had managed to save her from being captured. There was little Korona could say to convince Adena that it was the best path to take rather that spare herself. Plucking a feather from her wing the General tied it into Adena's hair, and kissed her lightly a gesture the Human did not miss out on. Once recovered Adena found that Korona had entered a crystal sleep- a state for healing that Crystavians underwent now and then during times of stress or great injury. Besides her mates mineral pool adena sat, waiting for her love to wake up. Yet her mind whispered and she felt herself being compelled to move again. She needed to return home. To Alderaan. It was the force's will that drove her. Sadly she drew a blade and cut a strand of her hair, and left it besides the pool with a holorecording, her good bye.

Jedi Masters Dexon Kyjar, Adena Qel-Droma, Kit Rendar
Though her intent was to return to Alderaan; something stirred in her, another overwhelming urge to alter her course to the Jedi enclave of Dantooine where she encountered a Kiffar Jedi master by the name of Dexon Kyjar. When asked her name she responded quietly, muttering it fearing her legend would raise flags, however the enclave master heard it as " Qel-Droma" the modern pronunciation of what was in truth a very common Alderaanian name. It was so that Adena Adopted the modern name and continued on spending time with the Jedi. Eventually Dexon made the choice to make her a master of the order after a series of tests and talks, feeling not only the power and conditioning in her, but that her mind offered something unique, a view of the Force that the rebuilding order needed.
There was a sense of peace for a great deal of time, The Sith empire was in ruins and plagued with constant civil war, leaving a power vacuum yet to be filled by any other entity. That was however until the ancient Alderaanian began having nightmares, and hearing a seductive whispering voice upon the winds. a voice she had hoped to never hear again, the voice of Lirreka Ebonclaw. The Danthiri had followed her, and found a galaxy prone and susceptible to the seeds of chaos and misdirection that the Matron so dearly loved to plant. The dreams, and whispers taunting, or seductive. Hinting at- or giving the jedi a theory- as to the Danthiri intentions. Quickly she moved to warn the others on the council of the coming tide, to be met with a dismissive wave, and pointed to a new threat rising- the Demitri
The Demitri were a militarized cult that had seized the Onderan system, and placed large hex canons about the system, creating a nearly impenetrable defense. The Order took this as a priority above all else. Adena quickly claimed it was a choice born of misguidance, largely in part to Master Rendars attachment to his padawan, Kyra Maans. Despite her friendship to the pair, Adena felt this was less of a priority. Feeding off her own distrust and knowledge of the House of Ebonclaw. None the less as a member of the Jedi council it was her duty to see to the current threats. As luck would have it reports flooded in of the Demtri leader being spotted in the lower levels of coruscant. Adena acted promptly to engage the leader and bring a swift end to the threat. As the two battled however, and Adena near the point of making a finishing blow things went wrong when Tamier, leader of a rogue gray jedi sect called Nem'Vah interfered. His intent was simple- he was in lust with the Alderaanian and had been stalking her for months, choosing this moment to once more try and woo her. When his advances were rejected he turned on her, claiming that if she saw his true power she would have no choice but love him. This allowed Devlin to slip away. Adena Forced a draw with tamier, which the Nem Vaah leader took as a sign of her " consideration" and simply left. Angered and fatigued Adena lingered for a time to catch her breath. This was when Lirreka made her appearance n the flesh, demanding the Alderaanian return to her the skulls of all the fallen warriors the Jedi had killed in the rift, giving her a deadline, and a location to meet. The moon of dxun, right in the heart of Demitri space. Unaware that the Danthiri had also formed a solid alliance with the reforming Mandalorian clans.
Several weeks passed before Adena awoke back on Dxun, haunted by a never ending nightmare planted in her mind by Lirreka. Shaken by this the Jedi called to her former apprentice AJ, new padawan Shara and am HK series droid that had pledged itself to her - to follow her to Alderaan where she took up residence in the ancient Baatch family summer estate, now little more than a shell atop the glaciers of sharp mountain ranges. Here she worked to find focus and meaning behind all she was told about Lirreka's plans and conditioning those about her. While she continued to serve the order as she once did, her stance on issues became more aggressive as she saw what seemed to be the start to events that would quickly spiral out of control.
While away Adena utilized the quiet of her ancient home to try and find her center and clarity. Things were starting to become blurred to her, too much happening too quickly. It was an internal feeling she could not shake. While the retreat did offer her time, it also brought with it a mixed series of events.
First was the death of her first padawan AJ, whom died in a swoop accident. It was believed that perhaps Adena's loyal HK droid had tampered with the machine in order to play a prank on his beloved master's " pet squishy". While tragic there was something else transpiring within the ancient halls of Baatch - she had begun to fall in love with her Echani Padawan, Shara. Never one to hold back, the Jedi master confronted her student, to learn the feelings were mutual, and so the two began a romance openly despite the taboo with in the order given the fairly new concept that romance some how equated to attachment. Adena quickly countered however that such an aversion to nature, and reliance on such rules was in itself an attachment. Her argument could not be easily countered and their relationship tolerated. Though guilt crept into the Alderaanian's heart as her mind often drifted to her beloved Korona, leading her to constantly fiddle with the crystal feather braided into her hair with more frequency, as if seeking forgiveness, or comfort. The romance did not last without its trials however as soon the call to action has come- weaknesses in the demitri hex canon security web had been found.
The Hex canon system was one of relative ease to design and apply. Place large canons at key points in the Onderaanian system at intervals so that the range of each gun overlapped another, leaving no ability for a Republic fleet to enter without being obliterated no matter how they approached. So confident were the Demitri of their systems that they neglected to take into account smaller craft such as personal shuttles or fighters. While squadrons would have triggered alarms- single craft went largely unnoticed. This is what Adena noted when discussing with the rest of the council. Sending Jedi knights in one, or two man teams to each world and systematically disabling the guns. They didnt need to take them all down, but enough to create a safe pocket for Republic forces to enter safely. After this was accomplished the next phase began, an entire Republic armada arrived, the entire Jedi council with them as part of the ground deployment forces. It was time to end the cult's threat for good. The battle of Onderaan had begun.
Repubic forces landed outside the city of Iziz in the planes and began their push to sieze the city. The great wall s posed a problem at first, however caved after heavy bombardment from artillery and air strikes. A breach was finally created when a republic freighter took heavy damage and crashed into the fortifications. Jedi knights and masters poured into the opening led by Adena, Kit, and Kyra. Demitri forces were heavier than initially expected - and to further the problems faced it was soon realized that several Sith lords- whom allied with he demitiri in hopes they could assist in the sith civil war- had made themselves present.
Many of the Sith were felled at the breach, however the lords hung back near the palace. Adena pressed her forces deep into Iziz seeing out these lords personally. Her push payed off when she confronted lord Scurge. During the Duel however Adena fell back on her instincts, feeling alive as she did in the days of her cult, and later with her battles in the rift system. That haze between light and dark becoming thicker and making telling one from the other impossible to distinguish. She pushed Scurge to the point of surrender, however she did not relent. Ina panic the Sith lord turned to flee once realizing his request for mercy would not be met. Reaching out Adena peered into the lords body through the force, and used it to pinch, and snap the fleeing lords brain stem. Scurge fell, paralyzed. His cries in the force asked for a swift end- however Adena decided to twist the morality of taking life- stating that his death would be a blessing, and a better punishment would be to live the rest of his remaining days in his current state, trapped in his own body, unable to move, speak, or tend to himself in any way. A fate she herself knew all too well.The battle eventually ended when the three councilors stormed the palace and arrested Devlin, nobody spoke of Adena's choice to punish the Sith lord, nor her willingness to use such violent tricks to achieve it. It was a day to celebrate, Onderaan had been liberated, remaining Demitri leaders who survived scattering into the far reaches of the galaxy never again to rebuild. With the Sith still at war it seemed that peace would last for a great while. Adena even took the time to formally marry Shara in a ceremony on Dantooine with the other council members directing the festivities, forther granting Shara Amani Qel-Droma, now a jedi master herself a seat on the council to fill a void left when Master Kyjar's own wife Lara Left to join the Nem'Vaah. Yet what the council did not know was that lurking in the shadows and within their own ranks a terrible darkness was starting to fester that would soon rear its head and shatter the perceived calm of the galaxy

Fun Facts:______________________________________________
The first appearance of Adena came in the early 90's as part of the West End Star Wars D6 RPG where she was a young senatorial's daughter whom became a force user and bounty hunter. Her Adventures saw her into her early adulthood before the format switched from table top to digital- continued online though different sites that eventually formed the characters core lore that carried over when SWRP was first established as well as bringing over several individuals who helped create that lore to begin with.
Her name has been altered in use more often to " Viea" or " Amara" to distinguish her from her creator, whom both share the same name, a result of being created by a 13-14 year old at the time.
Viea's gold armour has been one constant in her existence, and displayed in much of the art that has gone with it:
