Tila's basic personality is cold, calculating. Though she does exhibit many passions for the finer things, she is a slave to her pride.


Tila was raised in a proud senatorial, military family on the colony world of Devaron. Her mother served as an adviser, while her father held an illustrious career in the Republic before being killed in a training accident. Following in her fathers steps, and eager to show her own species that woman were just as effective as warriors, as they were politicians she enlisted with the republic.

Her test scores, and simulations of command posts drew attention at the academy, she proved to be a brilliant tactician, able to maximize results with minimal resources. She was competent, and efficient. For this she was offered a officer position within a small security task fleet in the colonies. Feeling this was a chance to show her skill, she eagerly accepted. The mood however quickly soured. Long hours of drills, and idle down time led to the belief that she was being held back. To aid this her commanding officer, though genuine in his appreciation of her gave off a detached demeanor which Tila took as a personal distaste of her; or perhaps it was her gender, or species. In her frustrations of being " though" inferior, Tila went so far as to remove much of her soft fur, and had horns implanted in a way that was more characteristic of males of her species.

with her moral plummeting, her pride wounded, and the feeling of being trapped, Tila began communicating with an entity claiming to be tied to a private military, promising to allow her to grow, and flaunt her skills in defending the people of the galaxy without the prejudice, and repressive nature of big " official" military factions. This led to her jumping ship while on leave and joining what would later become Jade Armada.


Having found herself in command of the Armada following the destruction of Mygeeto facility, Tila swiftly began amassing troops through quiet and carefully calculated transports from destiny station, and training them to the best of her ability. She had sent several members of Jades " TORUS" elite combat unit to the Hutts for use as a measure to win over their favor.

This was a ploy, naturally to gain use of the Hutt world of Diyu. The world it-self was an industrial wasteland of little use to most, however Tila saw great potential for unconventional uses of the scrap metals as far as weapons, and decoy constructions. She was also quick to re-establish the Jade production line of weapons and armours for exclusive use by the Jade Armada, and Hutt military.

Having secured the Hutt Alliance, Tila turned her attention to the Bogan, while courting their favor, and re-establishing business ties for auto defense systems the High Admiral began offering the Bogan more details of Republic activities around the then hidden bogan system.

The next step was expanding her armada's size. This was done by having her Vice Admiral; a Falleen noble woman named Xakra approach the Zeltron Aife and seduce the matron and get her to agree to producing a massive fleet for " the falleen noble houses" the ploy worked, and Jade found itself more than doubled in size.

With their new found power base, and protections, Jade began utilizing it's time patrolling Hutt space along the Corellian run wiping out pirate bands, often turning them against each other in impressive shows of manipulation. This was when the BAttle of Ando Prime came to be.

While on patrol in the region scanners noted the Ando system going dark. Being a major trade system and heavily populated a large black out quickly drew concern. Being only an hour away aided them, and they were quickly in system to discover a sloppy Republic assault. While Hutt, and Bogan forces also entered the fray, Tila noted what was pegged as a Bogan force retreating from the surface. Knowing this suggested a strong Republic presence the High admiral ordered the ground bombed by several large flight wings,

While the battle lasted only a short time, her losses were lower than expected, despite the desperation moves of the Republic to ram their way to freedom. It was here that Tila took the opportunity to use her role in the battle to further anchor her fleet, and weapons assembly into the Bogan, and Hutt forces, more or less breaking them in half and allowing for joint operations between the two major groups. Aware that she would loose her strangle of overall command was a small price to pay for the security offered by the arrangements.

It became tiring, after a time, sitting at the desk, hearing the reports of what was once JA were doing. The Bogan had lived up to the promise of protecting what she had built, however the call to battle was still too great inside. Opportunity seemed to be slipping by every moment, until it finally presented itself. Tura, Emperor of the Hutts had declared war on the Bogan. The attack was blamed on the Dark Jedi, yet Tila knew this to be false. Once upon a time she had seen the Hutts as individuals defending their cultural rights, however their gluttons lust for more, and their often cowardly way of taking it from others as if they were but tools tasted of great dishonour. The High Admiral decided she could no longer sit idly by and took the first transport she could into the Core worlds. Her where abouts currently unknown to most, other than her most trusted companions. Tila was considering returning to the republic she once believed corrupt and detrimental to others. Wearing the gray garbs of conformity however, seemed better than the irons of oppression.
