STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Tactful: Her upbringing in politics school, as well as spending six years in the Firemane academy has taught her to have tactful mind on the battlefield, able to make a change as quickly as her ship can turn.
Resourceful: Yashel still had plenty of friends back on Tygara, part of many different kinds of industries. If she needs a certain item, a place for her ship to stay, or any number of other miscellaneous items.
Bright as the noon sun: This Eldorai is incredibly bright, able to learn new tactics, ship formations, and other related naval resources, quickly and fully. While not on the bridge, Yashel is typically found in her captain’s quarters, reading naval manuals and pamphlets.
Necessary sacrifice: Hael knows the need of sacrifice. She’s seen examples of it multiple times in her life. If leaving behind a decimated squadron of Starfighters, leaving only a few left, will allow her whole flagship to survive, she’ll live with the guilt.
Impulsive: Her lack of experience shows here. While some of her impulsive decisions have let her out of trouble, there have been plenty more that end up hurting her in the long run.
Cold as the night: Described by her crew as cold, calculating, and sometimes rude, Yashel’s duty filled mind shows in her personality. After the loss of Kaeshana, her homeworld, the Eldorai retreated into herself, leaving a cold exterior.
BIOGRAPHY:
Being from one of the most wealthy, royal families of Eldorai, Yahsel Hael had no incentive to join any kind of military or low level job. She lived a life of luxury, with no worries whatsoever. Riding on her parents wealth, she lived the life of luxury. Attending one of the most pristine schools on the planet with the intention of entering into the politician lifestyle, as to comply with her parents’ wishes. She was only 75 at this time, having just become a fully functioning adult.
However, all of this was put on hold when, as alerted by Jedi Master Coryth Elaris, a 4.9km asteroid hurtled towards the surface of Kaeshana. Yashel put her education on total hold, returning home to help with her families evacuation. Thankfully for her, with her families’ wealth, she was able to leave the planet before the asteroid hit the surface. Most of her friends and extended family were also able to leave before the tragedy struck the planet, yet she couldn’t help but watch as hundreds of thousands of Eldorai were forced to stay on the planet, unable to escape, only because they didn’t have the money to buy seats on the evacuation ships. Because they were too poor, they were sentenced to attempt and survive on a shattered planet.
Officially labeled as an Exodite, Yashel’s family settled on Tygara. While the billions of Exodites struggled to recuperate and get back their lives, education was continually put on hold for Hael. Her family had plenty of money, so she wasn’t pressed to push on with her life after such a traumatic event. The Exodite didn’t have motivation to continue either. The faces of the people, their angry chants, were burned into her mind.
To some, feeling guilty for this would be silly and unmotivated. This was how Yashel’s parents felt. So when their daughter told them she would be joining the Firemane navy, instead of the Eldorai navy. She even attempted to exaplain the reasoning behind it. She had watched as Eldorai naval officers turned down people only due to their religious or wealth, only letting those of worthy status, in their eyes, on the evacuation ships. But she had also seen Firemane naval ships take on many lower class citizens, just attempting to get everyone possible off the planet. They didn’t turn anyone away, and they didn’t make judgements of life and death.
Even with her explaining this, however, Yashel was kicked from her family name and made to live on the streets. With nothing less to fight for, the Eldoria managed to make a very quick climb up the ranks of the Firemane naval academy. So quickly, that in her sixth year as part of the navy, she received her first commission. A destroyer, named The Queen’s Vigilance, was under her command. In only six years, Yashel had managed to climb to the rank of captain, achieve her first commission, and be a trusted part of the Firemane system. She had finally found her purpose once more.
The first maiden voyage of The Queen’s Vigilance was a distress call, received on the outskirts of Firemane space. What was supposed to be an easy, quick mission to help some needy freighter turned into the worst possible outcome. The second the Vigiliance came out of hyperspace, they greeted by a marred and destroyed freighter, dead in the water, surrounded by four pirate gunships and plenty of starfighers. The realization their blunder, jumping straight into an ambush, too late.
They fought valiantly. Captian Hael was able to maneuver her ship into a much more favorable position, taking out a gunship along the way. The remaining three, however, attacked their critical systems exclusively, trying to make the destroyer into a lame duck, sitting and waiting to be blundered. The constant fire was too much for the Vigilance’s shields, and their protection quickly fell. Realizing their position, Yashel commanded they focus on getting out of the system, and preform a blind jump to do so. Overruling any complaints and threatening to throw any deserters in the brig, the ship jumped blindly.
The move ended up working in the crew’s favor. But The Queen’s Vigilance was far from undamaged. Damage reports came flooding to the bridge. A massive chunk of the hull was missing out of the right side of ship, and multiple engines were totally unfixable. Worst yet, their comm system was knocked out, meaning they had no way to communicate with Firemane.
Limping and humiliated, Yashel returned her ship back to the ship yards to complete the extensive repairs. Immediately, guards were on her bridge, placing her in cuffs, and throwing her in the brig. It wasn’t long before she was brought before a Firemane military counsel. After hearing the testimonies of her bridge members, the ones that survived, about how her rash decision to blindly jump saved the majority of the ship, Yashel was not court marshaled, and was allowed to keep her commission.
She did, however, have to weight on the repairs on her destroyer. With no ship to fight with, and none to spar, Yashel had to watch, through comm units and holovideos, as her former home was torn to shreds, bombarded, and broken even more than it already was during the battle between the Galactic Alliance and the First Order. She broke down, crying heavy tears on the shipyard’s bridge, knowing she could do nothing to help her homeworld, forced to watch it burn. Not only that, but they lost. Her homeworld was lost to the evil First Order, controlled and enslaved.
Due to the extreme losses of the battle of her home world, Hael was promoted to admiral lower half. With her promotion came a brand new ship, which she promply named The Isianthar’s Vengeance. Yashel vowed to avenge the loss of her home planet, for she had not been able to be there for it twice in her lifetime. The Exodite would give her all to see the planet back under her people’s control. Fight wherever needed, killed without remorse, and commanding her crew to victory at every occasion. She had lost her home world twice, and it was not going to happen again.
Flagship:
Admiral Yael’s personal flagship is a Crusader class star destroyer, The Isianthar's Vengeance.
