Thea Corine


Thea Corine stands fairly tall despite her thin frame, at 5'10, her uniform outlines the shape of her lean and athletic body. Red shoulder-length hair gently hangs over the smooth skin of a young radiant face. Her round green eyes, set appealingly within their sockets, scan the room intensively.











Early Life

rsz_corellia_sof.jpg
Corellia, Thea's Homeworld

Introduction

Thea was born on Corellia, her parents were owned a small import/export business and involved in both local and long distance commercial trade. As a result Thea often traveled with her parents were often travelling to worlds in the mid and outer rim. Thus much of her child hood was spent aboard large freighters and other star ships while her family exported and imported commodities and engineering goods. Growing up she saw how chaotic the galaxy had become and her father often expressed strong political opinions in his Discussions. Often when frustrated with contract negotiations with unions, or increased pirate activity, Thea often heard her father claim that the only hope for order or a chance to end to the chaos was through the strength and rule of law provided by the Empire. On her journeys Thea learned to appreciate how a monopoly on the use of force and the strength of law was the only path to maintaining order in the face of pirates and corporate corruption.

Ever since she was a young girl she dreamed of standing on the bridge of a mighty capital ship and often pleaded to her parents to allow her to attend one of the Imperial academies when she was of age. At the age of 15, her parents enrolled her into one of Corellia's private astronautical schools, which was a dream come true for for Thea as she felt this would be a great way to build a foundation before entering the Imperial Academy. The private academy was on the opposite end of the planet, so she moved in with her Uncle who lived nearby, recently retired from CEC. She was a nerd when it came to ships, she learned everything she could about them and often sat near the starport watching ships take off into the stars on their adventures. Thea was most excited when an Imperial cruiser or star destroyer was in orbit and dreamed of the adventures life those onboard had, living among the stars in such a marvel of engineering.



Death in the Family

It was at this time, while attending classes and living with her Uncle, that she learned of her parents death. They had been killed by pirates after they were raided during a routine delivery of CEC equipment to the Mid Rim worlds. Devastated at first and upset at the loss, she felt lost. After some time, Thea used this anger and sadness to focus herself on the goals ahead. She became more determined and focused on her studies and committed herself to entering the Imperial Academy after graduation.

Leaving Home

Thea firmly believed the Empire was the cure for a galaxy plagued by disorder, pirates, and criminal scum. Upon graduating from her school, she hugged her Uncle once more and said goodbye as she left her homeworld on her 19th birthday, finally embarking on a new journey. Thea was determined to begin her new career at the Imperial Academy in Prakith after an intense period of study, she graduated the academy with honors. The day had finally come, she made it, and knew her parents would be proud if they were here. After graduation Thea was eager and honored to begin a new career in the Imperial Navy...

Thea Corine in the Navy



Ensign Thea Corine's First Assignment: Iliabath (Y17 D60)

tiescout.jpg
Imperial Navy Tie Scout

Ensign Thea Corine scanned the horizon as her tie scout slashed through a cloud over the planet Iliabath. It was her first assignment upon joining the Empire and receiving her assignment to the 6th fleet. She knew this was important work, enemies of the empire had been found lurking among the planet, an unacceptable infraction against the Empire. Much of the planet was fairly rural as cities have only just begun to grow and expand, a display of the ingenuity and progress of the Empire as it continued to bring order to the galaxy through the immutable rule of law. Thea manipulated the controls of her vessel, bringing the craft lower as she proceeded to comb another sector of the planet, she glanced at her sensors...nothing, all clear again...shifting her flight stick and pushing the sensitive flight pedals at her feet she banked to the north as she continued her search.

Taking a deep breath, her muscles ached from the long flight, she had been flying for some time now, finding no signs of enemy forces. Perhaps that was a good thing for her first assignment, she thought to herself. Part of her was eager to face an enemy of the empire, to do her part in bringing them to justice. Thus, each time she took a reading from her scanner a part of her was disappointed to find no traces of the enemy. At the same time, she was glad in a way, that was a good thing of course since it is as it should be. The thought of enemy contact also caused some unease, she was still nervous, semi-excited, yet scared. Perhaps this was only natural, she was new to the military and navy life. Ensign Corine was proud and eager to prove to herself and to her chain of command that she could perform her job well in the face of the enemy, yet still scared of how she would react when it finally came down to it. As these conflicting thoughts muddled within the Engine's mind, she thought this was likely a typical feeling shared by those new to the military. It was a new life, vastly different from civilian life, and Thea hoped to learn from those around her who were more experienced.

Realizing she was becoming lost in her thoughts, she snapped her attention back to the task at hand. What was it her father always said..."complacency kills." She knew the routine and monotony of her scouting mission, the long hours, and the uneventful mission so far was dangerous. Several years ago, a veteran once told Thea: "military life is not as glorious as it appears on the holodramas. In fact, if they did make a holodrama of war, it would be rather bloody boring. No one would ever want to watch hours, sometimes days, of nothing but daily routine punctuated by brief moments of intense and violent action, which is quickly followed by more of quiet military routine." with a laugh he grew more serious as he spoke to Thea, saying "that is the real test of military life, preparing for those brief moments of violence and acting with a sense of urgency when it counts."

It was easy to drift, to lose focus, cramped within a tight space for long periods with only the whine of her engines and her thoughts to listen to. No matter the task, it was important to remain vigilant, requiring her to constantly give herself pep talks to remain attentive, despite the repetitive routine of her assignment. This is a inner struggle every soldier must struggle with, an inner battle which is seen by none, waged silently and ferociously within the battlefield of ones heart and mind. Indeed it is an important battle to win, those tempted into complacency by the routine of military life can pay dearly. It takes but only a moment of complacency to be caught unaware and at a disadvantage by the enemy. A short moment which leads to ones death, like a breath of fresh air in the winter cold, it appears only briefly before vanishing from existence. As such, she was determined to remain vigilant. Reaching down she grasped a short thin container, popping it open, she tipped a capsule into her mouth. Biting down, she felt her body react as the pilot stimulant entered her bloodstream. She disliked the idea of pilot stims, but knew it to be a necessary evil on long missions requiring physical and mental endurance.

With a renewed energy, she admired the majesty of Iliabath's aspiring cities, serene oceans and vast grasslands. Lifting her data pad, Thea submitted a report of her progress thus far before reviewing the navigational data to confirm she was on the right course. Slicing through the air, Ensign Corine maneuvered the tie scout towards the horizon, focusing her scanners on the area ahead as she continued her assigned recon route. She was proud to serve the Empire and her resolve only grew as she was determined to fulfill the objectives of this first assignment honorably.

Journey to CAPCOM

After serving in both the 6th and 7th groups in various capacities. Thea decided to branch into Capital Command career track. First serving on the cruiser Stormwind, and eventually taking the helm of the historic VSD Widowmaker

2nd Fleet Fly in Formation in Honor of a New Fleet CO

Upon taking command of the VSD Widowmaker, Mordus Nordstroem appointed Thea to lead a fly-by ceremony in honor of FADM Savk on his appointment as 2nd Fleet Commanding Officer in Y19. The following excerpt is taken from footage of the ceremony:

Thea Corine straightened her uniform and adjusted the newly placed commander rank bar on her chest. Taking a breath, she took a moment to find her center, her mind was awash in a bewildering emotional mixture of pride, fear, anxiety, and confidence. It was a tremendous honor to have been given command of the VSD Widowmaker for the fly-past inspection in the Kuat system. The coming ceremony celebrated the reappointment of Fleet Admiral Savk. Attending the Admiral on his flagship was Adjutant Mailhot, the governor of Amber region. The pressure of commanding a vessel with such historical significance for the Imperial fleet, and at such a prestigious event, was felt deeply by Thea and her crew, but she was confident in their professionalism and was proud to represent both the 2nd fleet and 7th group on this momentous day.

After conducting a final review of the crew and distributing operation orders down the chain of command, Thea took her place on the bridge's command deck. The screen on her console displayed the positions of the two tie escort squadrons, commanded by Witelsbach and Vicus. Manipulating various controls, checking diagnostic data, and reviewing their position within the Kuat system, Thea ensured that all was well in hand. It was almost time for the final approach.

Turning to her communication officer, with a commanding voice, Thea state: Patch me to the channel the escort squadrons are on. After seeing the light on her display that the connection had been established, she cleared her throat and begin to speak to the two officers: Lt. Commander Witelsbach...Lt. Vicus. We are on our final approach to the area cordoned off for the fly-past inspection. We do not need to be concerned with any traffic from the Kuat shipyard, as a restricted travel zone has been established for the ceremony. As we begin, remember that our actions are a reflection of both the 7th group and the 2nd Imperial Fleet, I expect nothing but the very best....so make your fleet proud. As you may or may not know, the vessel you escort today...the Widowmaker, it is the namesake of the old nickname for the 7th group and has enormous historical importance for the Imperial Navy. Almost two decades ago, the original Widowmaker became famed for its role in the battle of Beta and had a long and distinguished service record before finally retiring out of service. When this vessel was commissioned, the spirit of its name can be seen as a new iteration of the older ship, the legacy of the Widowmaker now lives on......Remember as you slice through the black infinity of space and gaze on the armored bulkheads of the warship below you....that you are the chosen few selected to be the officers commanding the squadrons which will escort one of the most prestigious and famous vessels in the history of the Imperial Navy. I salute you for your professionalism and fine example as Imperial naval officers. Clearing her throat and with a more professional tone, Thea continued Lt. Witelsbach, take position on the starboard side, Lt. Vicus on Port. Confirm your acknowledgement, we will begin the fly-past inspection momentarily.

Sitting back, as she awaited the response from the nearby tie escorts, Thea checked her computer display....everything seemed in order....it is a great day to be in the Navy.

Savk watched as the TIE squadrons performed their maneuvers. Executing precision acrobatics with apparent ease. It was an impressive sight and he was filled with pride. Then gripping the viewport ledge he leaned forward to peer out towards the approaching Victory class stardestroyer... "Sensors! ID that VSD." He shouted over his shoulder at the crew in the port side pit. Seconds later the tech replied confirming his initial thoughts. "Sir, that is the IMS Widowmaker. The Fleet Admiral pointed unnecessarily towards the VSD. "That ship right there is one of the oldest in the Navy. And for a time was commanded by the former Emperor and dark lord of the sith Vodo Bonias... It was aptly named. In those dark times an officer was as likely to be killed by him as they were from enemy action." Seeing the Widowmaker glide by brought back a flood of memories from days gone by. Days he sometimes wondered how he had survived. Turning towards the holo of RADM Nordstroem he tipped his hat in a gesture of respect. "Nice choice Admiral." As the procession cruised by the Highborne, Savk came to attention and symbolically returned a salute.
