Biography

Members of the Hapan nobility who had been part of the Draconian Union fled the Phoenix Revolution and its aftermath, took refuge in sympathetic sectors—notably Kuat and Tapani—and set up exile courts often led by surviving claimants to the Hapan throne. The exiles never posed a serious military threat to the reformed Hapes Consortium, but they were accepted by and often married into the local noble houses. Despite the Hapes Consortium's abolition of the legal recognition of hereditary titles of nobility after the Phoenix Revolution, Amne's parents continued to style themselves as the Ducha and Duchix of Andalia. Amne—titled the Duch'da of Andalia—was born in Year -12 in their estate on Estalle Island, located in the southern hemisphere of the planet Procopia in the Tapani Sector.

Amne was raised on Procopia with all of the honors and privileges enjoyed by Tapani nobility. In anticipation of the loss of their lands, her maternal grandmother had sent many of the family valuables to her son—Amne's uncle, who had been married to a Tapani Lady—for safekeeping. Amne therefore enjoyed access to her family's library of books that were often owned only by Hapan nobles. She was meticulously educated by teachers who believed that learning should be engaging. She—along with her teachers—often traveled with her parents, whether they were part of the royal court or visiting relatives in other sectors. At the age of nineteen, Amne married Lord Ainars Tal'e. Their happy marriage of convenience lasted until Ainars' untimely death in Year 9.

A young widow, Amne chose to enlist in the armed forces of the Galactic Empire. Amne was promoted to Master Sergeant upon her completion of basic training at the Imperial Academy. She was assigned to the First Imperial Legion under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Califf D`Troit, who was known for returning the legion to glory after the betrayal of Inara Imperium and subsequent defection of many Immortals. Amne received a warm welcome from First Lieutenant Falston and Second Lieutenant Kies, the legion's executive officer and adjutant respectively, and quickly got to know her fellow legionnaires, including Santiano Salazar, Felix Stones, Dante Erinith, Kol Seraph, Tamarynn Farr, Igneus Esh, and Redme Schwarz. Several rumors were spread to explain her promotion to Master Sergeant—among them being that she'd burned down an orphanage housing Jedi younglings—but they eventually faded into obscurity. Her squad, the Sabres, was sent to the Coruscant Oversector to scout for any signs of rebel bases or hostile armies. The Sabres found and captured a number of hostiles that had established hidden bases throughout the system and retook some occupied Imperial buildings. The Immortals took it upon themselves to map their assigned sectors, marking potential microjump points and updating the political maps of the planets. They were commended with special recognition upon the conclusion of Operation Blitz, after the inspection of 4 systems with 30 planets in total. After completing her first tour of duty, she entered the Army Reserves.

"Wouldn't your cover be more secure if you had an escort of men? It'd play into the Rim system stereotype that the culture of the Galactic Core is decadent, given to engaging in unnatural activities for the sake of fashion."

— Euna Miriel to Daelis Stanov after learning of the nature of their assignment

Amne was assigned to pose as an escort for Stanov, an II agent undercover as a wealthy businessman offering to sell Imperial supplies to a warlord of Garos, and tasked (along with Euna Miriel) to protect computer specialist Thalia Brando as she covertly extracted data from the warlord's mainframe computer.

"This is the Spirit of The Immortals - that no matter what Catastrophies strike us, we will stubbornly rise from the ashes and flap our wings, unleashing our fearless spirit against the enemies of the Empire with the power of the Phoenix!"

— Dragomir Kies

She returned to active service with the Immortals, now organized as the 1st Brigade under the command of Second Lieutenant Akai Ai (with First Lieutenant Drayson, then Major Salazar as the Legion Commanding Officer). She served with the Immortals until she was appointed the executive officer of the Inferno. Amne had always associated and been associated with fire on account of her red hair. She found it fitting that the units she'd been assigned to were steeped in fiery symbolism: the Immortals' perpetually rekindling phoenix and the pure conflagration of the Inferno. She was seamlessly integrated into the 5th Brigade under the leadership of First Lieutenant Deryk Ysenm and Colonel David Terrio. Pursuant to DGE-006, put into effect on Y13D101, Amne relinquished the use of her titles when she was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. Amne succeeded Captain Ysenm as the commanding officer of the 5th Brigade when he retired in Year 13.
