Profile:
- Name: Andra Vennik
- Loyalties: Emperor Solomon M'Raki, Crown Princess and Viceroy Tamar M'Raki, the Mikkoni Empire and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
- Wealth: Moderate; loosely tethered with that of House M'Raki of the Mikkoni Empire.
- Notable Possessions: Several blasters, a saber pike, a starfighter and her own private residence in the city of Silvark.
- Skills: Andra is particularly talented with telekinesis and a capable warrior with her saber pike and a blaster. She is also a capable pilot when the situation dictates.
- Personality: Much like the crown princess Andra is cold and callous to those she does not know or trust; warming up slowly to those she has deemed worth her time or worth trusting. Underneath all of that she has a warm and friendly personality that is reserved only for those closest to her; especially Tamar M'Raki and Emperor Solomon M'Raki.
- Weapon of Choice: A blaster carbine, her saber pike or the Force.
- Combat Function: Andra Vennik is Emperor M'Raki's head of security and of Tamar M'Raki's personal guard.
+ Physical Combat: Andra has trained from youth to be the strongest of her peers and boasts in that area of skill with the muscular build to back it up. One might say she could wrestle a Gundark - She is particularly deadly with her Saber Pike.
+ Rifle training: As a volunteer in the Science and Technology testing program Andra is highly capable with blasters and other ranged weaponry; especially those items designed and tested by the Mikkoni Empire.
+ Telekinetic Combat: While the princess boasts talent with Battle Meditation, Andra Vennik prefers to use the Force as a telekinetic weapon. Where other areas of the Force come slower and less effective to her, outside of senses, she excels in the use of Telekinesis in and out of combat.
- Easily Outnumbered: Despite her position as the head of Tamar M'Raki's personal guard, Andra is one to prefer to fight opponents one on one. If she is not accompanied by the princess' personal guard she is easily outnumbered much like any other person despite her weapon of choice.
- Do the Work: Andra is not a tactician or strategist, at least not in the area of making the plans. She can execute a plan or strategy with relative ease but she is far from the individual you would ask to make the plans in advance. For this reason she often relies on the wit and calculation of the Emperor and his sister.
- Scarred: While she is capable of trusting, the betrayal of Absalom M'Raki devastated her. Since then she has become much less trusting of even her own people within the reason that if the crown prince could turn against the entire people's safety, what could the common Lyrkon do? For this reason she often defers to Tamar or Solomon's decisions with a grain of salt.
While she had been close friends with the M'Raki children for her entire lifetime, it was not until after the betrayal of Absalom M'Raki and the Mikkoni Civil War that she came into a position of influence. Following the ascension of Solomon M'Raki to the throne as Emperor Andra Vennik was chosen by the new Emperor personally to be a part of his personal security and his sister's personal guard.
As friend and guard, Andra knows how best to guard the M'Raki's; allowing her to push past her lack of talent in planning by deferring to the cleverness of the M'Raki's in their own defense. She had trained her whole life for the position she had earned and she would do nothing short of her best to assure their survival.
