Character History:
A blueblood at birth, she was the daughter of the Velmorian monarchs. Distantly Alderaanian as well as Onderonian by a series of interlaced marriages, she was also a descendent of the following influential individuals — Bail Organa, Empress Teta, and Queen Talia. Born in Del Velmor, the flourishing Capital of Velmor, she was but an infant when a nightmarish massacre took place. Her father, a fierce monarch in his prime, severed all diplomatic arrangements with a brutal Sith order at the time due to their high demand and greedy nature. But the Sith expressed peculier interest in a particular item the Velmorian heir possessed. The item was an heirloom, an amulet if you will. But it contained four of the last Velmstone, an ancient stone once found in the now dormant volcanoes of Velmor. It was rumored that these stones were worth an unthinkable price and their power, an unthinkable measure. The Sith were drawn to these precious stones like a moth to the flame and when the Velmorian King denied them their wishes, they became hostile and massacred not only the royalists in the palace but most of the occupants in Del Velmor.
One of her mother's maids, a servant girl, escaped to Corellia with the infant heir during that nightmarish massacre. The Velmorian monarchs, however, had met their unfortunate ends that day. Although the heir is missing from the palace walls, the Velmorian tradition remains as it always was — twenty years must pass before another heir is chosen.
It's still unknown, even today, if the infant heir carried an amulet or not.
Named Hyacinth, the infant heir grew up creditless on the streets of Corellia and often mingled with the scum of the galaxy - space pirates, thieves, criminal lords, you name it. When she was seven-years-old, the diminutive redhead believed to have mastered the art of thievery and attempted to steal from a wookiee smuggler. He caught her, of course, but he (luckily) found her quick wit comical and decided to take her under his wing.
Known as the notorious smuggler Pankaja, he became a father-like figure to her despite his reputation. Later on, she would discover that Pankaja worked for her royal father and was asked to guard her in times of need. After many adventures, she soon reclaimed her right on the Velmorian throne at the ripe age of seventeen. For the first several years of her reign, she served as the Velmorian senator and representative at the galactic senate on Coruscant before it was disbanded. Not only was she involved in many political affairs with other planetary factions, she was also the founder of a rebellion in direct opposition to the Empire.
While settling monarchial plans in Onderon, one of her zealous commanders acted out at one of the last senate meetings and attempted to assassinate the Empire's Empress. As a result of the commander's actions, the Empire dumped the RLF onto Korriban and disbanded the senate. Furious, the monarch forced the commander out of her organization and housed her founded rebellion in Onderon, naming it the Republic Liberation Front.
At twenty four years of age, Hyacinth resided in Onderon. Stepping down from her Velmorian reign, she was chosen to help remedy the monarchial crisis in Onderon. Protected by the Onderon royal forces, Queen Hyacinth Devi Janick of Onderon was known for her liberating if not inspirational ideals, her honesty, and her benevolence. Though it's only known to her ring of close friends and relatives, she ironically married an ex-stormtrooper and had a daughter—an heir.
With the brink of war around the corner, the Queen's concern for her people led her to open the Perlemian Trade Route—a trading route between Coruscant and Onderon's captial city, Iziz. The trading route offers larger credit salaries for citizens and easy transportation between the two major planets. It was also meant to maintain civil neutralities among the Empire and the Onderon monarchy for the safety of its occupants. The Empire and the Onderon monarchy therefore agreed to keep out of each others political affairs from then on.
But that didn't last very long, one of the Empire's high ranking Imperial Knights decidedly involved himself in Onderon's affairs—resulting in a most devastating battle among the two political factions.
At the mark of a new era for the rebels and the Imperials, Queen Hyacinth had fallen to her tragic end. Beloved by many for her genuine nature, Onderon was devastated. A full-fledged battle broke out between the rebels and the Imperials in the lower levels of the Onderon palace after she refused to hand over Imperial Knight captive, Atticus Jetaime. He was being held under the Onderonian law and was to be given a trial for his unwelcome involvement in Onderon's political affairs but the Empress demanded respect for Imperial authority. After a scalding argument between the Empress and the Queen, Hyacinth still resisted to give the Empress what she wanted. Though details about the Queen's death was vague, it was known that she refused to surrender to the Empire under all circumstances—it was a praised if not empowering resistence. By refusing to fall to the Empire's oppression, she rebelled and represented everything her passionate rebels stood for. Empress Talmerith Jael was present at the time of her death.
She was proclaimed dead exactly twelve hours after the battle. And her daughter, missing.
"If you love anyone—anyone at all, you'd fight like hell for them."
— Queen Hyacinth Devi Janick
