Kaleena Asharya Rey was born on Zeltros, the only daughter of Indira Avaron and Takeo Rey, and the younger sibling of Deveran, Ravan and Hiro. Having recently left Zeltros in search of new, exciting experiences, she travelled to Coruscant to enrol in the Imperial Academy. Upon graduation on Year 14, Day 342, she was assigned a position within the Regional Government and began a career in the Galactic Empire.

Personal History

The Rey Family

The_Rey_Family.jpg

The Rey family is a well-established Zeltron family with a centuries-old history of being great patrons of the arts. The family owns several art galleries and small theatres, and continually funds the Fine Arts department at Zeltros University. The focus of their work through the centuries has been to preserve historical artifacts, promote Zeltron artistic endeavors and encourage the creativity of future generations of artists. Only within the last few generations have the Reys started to expand into the business world with family members becoming successful entrepreneurs and traders.

Early Childhood

Kaleena was raised under the careful eye of her paternal grandmother, Lady Prema Rey, matriarch of the family. She was the first girl child born out of five children and seven grandchildren and as such earned special treatment from the Lady of the family. Lady Prema was very present throughout Kaleena’s childhood and her insistence in being involved in the girl’s upbringing caused a rift between her and Kaleena’s mother. This strained relationship had a negative effect on the relationship between mother and daughter and by the time Kaleena was flowering into womanhood, she was hardly close with her mother, Indira.

The youngest Rey received a private education from birth from carefully selected, accomplished tutors with a special focus on Zeltron history and art. She was encouraged to find interests in artistic disciplines, her tutors helping her hone her intuition and tap deeply into her own innate creativity and passion to fuel her work. As such, she is a skilled dancer and painter.

A Chosen Career Path

Despite the encouragement of friends and family members, Kaleena was advised not to pursue a career in dance or painting and was eventually directed by her grandmother to take up the role of Director of one of the family’s galleries. Although she had just turned twenty at the time, Lady Rey believed the young woman would grow into her role. She already had a keen eye for exquisite art and she had a personality that could draw crowds. Kaleena was initial opposed to the idea of taking on such a role, wanting indeed to focus on her passion for painting, but Lady Prema reminded her of her duties as a Rey and their responsibility of showcasing the beauty and incredible talent of Zeltron artists and sculptors, past and present. "Passion fuels passion," Lady Rey used to always say. "Inspire and invigorate the next generations with the passions of the past. Remind them who we are as a people." She could have easily made examples of her older brothers who had chosen careers in engineering, finance, linguistics and even the military but Kaleena felt she could not refuse the wishes of the matriarch of her family, and so Kaleena spent her early twenties managing the gallery. She was very successful at organizing charitable events and new expositions, events at her gallery becoming very popular soirees for some of Zeltros’ most influential. She was constantly surrounded by beauty and luxury, love and lust, and it was intoxicating. Lady Prema seemed to be pleased with how her granddaughter was faring but Kaleena suspected the older woman had more in store for her but was simply not sharing.

Living in opulence may be more than enough for most Zeltrons but after a few years managing the collection at the gallery and living the high life, Kaleena started to long for more from her life. She held on to the hope her grandmother would soon share with her some greater plan but her patience began to wane and she secretly began craving something different though she couldn’t quite say what that was.

Something Different

It was a chance encounter with a retired Imperial recruitment officer frequenting a nightclub she often visited that set her on a strange new path. He was not the typical bumbling fool of an offworlder offering to buy her a drink. "You look like you need a change of pace," he told her with a well-meaning smile. “The eyes don’t lie,” he continued with a light tap to his right temple. Kaleena studied the man, one of the only offworlders in the club not indulging and exhibiting some wild behaviour. She figured he had been around the block a few times and was no stranger to the Zeltron lifestyle. This middle-aged man with a few silver streaks in his hair seemed to be quite grounded and so she engaged in the conversation and was pleasantly surprised. What followed was a very intelligent and often times philosophical conversation about beauty, pleasure and the meaning of life. He explained he was a retired recruitment officer for the Galactic Empire and when prompted by a now curious Kaleena, was permitted to rant and rave about the organization he so loved. The Zeltron figured he was slipping into his recruitment spiel but was interested nonetheless. He had a few tricks up his sleeve. “You Zeltrons are ever fueled by a pursuit of happiness through beauty and pleasure, but you do not quite realize the true beauty of life. The true beauty lies in the full spectrum of experiences. How can you say you have ever really lived if all you have experienced is one way of life? Why not experience more? Why not find beauty in new experiences? The Galactic Empire could offer you all that and so much more.”

Kaleena did not need much convincing for she was already feeling like one foot was out the door. She wasn’t quite certain that the Galactic Empire was where she would end up but the Imperial’s words had resonated with her and she suspected the Empire might be a good place to start. Sharing her feelings with only the closest of her friends was not easy, and there was much protest, but in the end, there was little they could do to change her already made up mind.

Within a week or so of meeting the Imperial, Kaleena Rey made arrangements for a cousin to take up her post at the gallery, swearing the man to secrecy, and used a fake passport to slip onto a transport leaving Zeltros, making for the stars. She knew Lady Prema would be heartbroken and would have tried to convince her to stay, so she made sure her exit was in secret. She figured the family would eventually find out about Kaleena’s departure but she naively believed they would simply leave her be. She could not be important enough to chase across the Galaxy.

The Galactic Empire

On Year 14, Day 336, Kaleena Rey was accepted into the Galactic Empire and proceeded to continue her journey to Coruscant where she enrolled in the Imperial Academy as a new recruit. Completely out of her element, she embraced her new life with some trepidation, but ultimately, a hope that she would experience a new way of life and become part of something much greater.

Imperial Academy

Kaleena enrolled in the Imperial Academy and was assigned to Training Officer Star. She was an attentive student, and despite her natural inclinations to reach out and meet new people, she kept to herself throughout her stay at the Academy so she could focus on her studies.

Coruscant was the first place she had ever visited outside Zeltros and therefore it took a few days to get over the initial shock of being in a completely new environment. The Zeltron recruit was aware that Coruscant itself was home to about a trillion people of all walks of life however it was entirely human-centric and she was suddenly a minority. To say this sudden immersion into a completely different society was jarring to her senses would be an understatement. Zeltrons and humans share common ancestry but there are still fundamental differences between the species, from the physical and emotional characteristics to their value system. The differences were made even more apparent when Kaleena read through the Imperial Species Policy, discovering that she, as a Zeltron, was categorized as a Class B citizen. She was initially put off by this categorization as there wasn’t anything like it back home, however she relaxed to the idea as her class category only prevented her from joining the military and intelligence branches of the Galactic Empire, branches she had absolutely no interest in. Her heightened senses allowed her to pick up on some feelings of aversion and resistance from her peers but she held on to the hope these feelings would not affect her career and her overall integration within the Empire in the long run.

Kaleena graduated from the Imperial Academy on Year 14, Day 342 with an overall score of 93.93% and requested an assignment within the Regional Government, hoping some of her inherent social skills might translate well into politics. Perhaps the best way to integrate well with the other Imperial citizens was to walk among them and address the needs of the common citizen through politics, and if they were initially repulsed by a Zeltron in their midst, she could make them listen, leading by example. She would show the Empire what this Class B citizen was capable of.
