Commander Virella Nocturne is a high-ranking officer within the Velkran Empire, known for her merciless efficiency, tactical brilliance, and unwavering devotion to the Empire’s doctrine. She is a symbol of the regime’s transformation from a peaceful civilization into a galactic force driven by revenge, survival, and control. Virella was born on Velkris Prime, once a beacon of scientific advancement and structured harmony. The Velkran people invested their technological prowess into medicine, clean energy, and sustainable life not conquest. Military strength existed only as a defensive measure. However, their rapid rise in power alarmed the Caelari Union, who viewed Velkris as a threat to their own dominance. Fearing what Velkris might become, the Caelari launched a devastating preemptive strike. Using orbital weapons and atmosphere destabilizers, they rendered the planet uninhabitable, turning it into a gas-shrouded wasteland. Billions perished. Virella, a young child at the time, witnessed the death of her parents and sibling in the attack. From the ruins of Velkris, the Velkran Empire emerged no longer idealistic, but cold and relentless. Survivors rebuilt their society underground and redirected their technology toward militarization and planetary expansion. Peaceful innovation gave way to war machines, orbital cannons, and elite troopers sealed in gas armor. Virella was forged in this new world. She rose through brutal training programs, showing no tolerance for failure or weakness. Under her command, discipline is enforced without compromise. Those who falter are swiftly and publicly punished. She harbors a deep hatred for the Caelari Union and leads invasions without remorse. To the galaxy, she is feared. To the Velkran people, she is justice incarnate.
