Name: Captain “General” Sukie Bathors
Faction: Royal Household of Naboo (Current Employer)
Rank: N/A
Species: Human
Age: ~306,000 Hours (35 years)
Gender: Female
Force Sensitive: No
Appearance: Sukie Bathors (pronounced “Bath-horse”) bears the slight stoop and shortness of someone used to low gravity, and carries herself with the manners and accent of a Galactic Core native. She looks every single one of her 306,000 hours, but is fastidious about her appearance, keeping herself looking trim, if not always necessarily neat. Her dark hair is at least partly dyed, and her training has left her well-toned. Surrounded by larger, more dramatic, more flamboyant, and more remarkable individuals, Bathors tends to sink to the back.
Biography: Sukie’s youth is poorly documented, although her stature and idiosyncratic way of stating her age suggest she spent it on stations and ships among the core worlds. She joined the Corellian Army at about 20 (or 17,600 hours as she’d say) and served as a passable if unremarkable staff officer until a political scandal following the first battle of Coruscant left her exiled to a backwater posting in the Derra system.
The collapse of the Republic was brisk, and the first Bathors and her company knew of it was when a mail-ship limped into the garrison on Derra, bearing news of the fall of Chandrila. This was taken poorly by Sukie and far worse by her soldiers, a company of a hundred or so who were displeased to learn that their commanders (and more importantly their pay) were now in the hands of a gang of religious psychopaths ten thousand-odd light years away. Without Republican tax money funding the garrison, the local Derran government refused to keep it on payroll, offering instead only supplies to get off world in the garrison’s antiquated transport ship, the Relient.
With a ship and a small company of trained soldiers Bathors established herself as General Bathors of the 3rd Starborne Regiment with the somewhat shaky consent of her subordinates, and headed out across the Outer Rim to serve as the CEO of a new “Independent Security Contracting Firm”.
Personality: In front of strangers Sukie is polite and even friendly, but always with the restraint and formality expected of a Republican Officer. This is a good façade for her true situation, which is something like a tightrope act as she tries to keep her soldiers and employers happy and find work in a dangerous and fickle industry, while also feathering her own nest. She is bitter over the collapse of the Republic, blaming her commanders, the Senate, and herself at different times in different moods.
Skills and Attributes: Sukie is and always has been a competent yet unremarkable officer. She scored below average on physical aptitude tests, and her marksmanship results leave something to be desired. She is more than capable of remaining steady under fire, but her contributions to gunfights are generally more in the planning than the execution. Her only real advantage is her short stature, which makes her a nuisance of a target at ranges beyond a hundred yards.
In contrast, she has always done well in administrative work and interpersonal skills. Her time as a member of the Corellian staff officer corps has given her a level head when it comes to office politics which places her in good stead when negotiating with her often unstable employers and employees. Formally all the officers of the 3rd Starborne own a share in the company and could elect a new Executive Officer if they chose, but Sukie manages to make herself indispensible. Her skills in negotiating contracts and willingness to sacrifice her own share to keep the company afloat earn her respect of her officers and soldiers, if not necessarily their trust or loyalty.
As a strategic officer Sukie has been good enough to get her company out of some tight corners, although she will admit that luck has played a role in her successes. Her strategies tend to rely heavily on defence and avoidance, which at least makes her popular with soldiers who prefer not to die. Glory is all very well and good, but so is surviving to payday.
Gear: MP-22 Blaster Rifle in the standard GAR configuration for rear-echelon units (chopped stock, shortened barrel) and four magazines of ammunition.
Dress uniform and battle dress uniform (without Republican insignia)
Full suit of Specialised Unit Armour, usually only worn in full combat
Her room aboard the Relient contains her few personal effects and one suit of civilian clothes, still in its sealed packet.
Ship: The Relient, a sanctioned transport variant of the Hammerhead-Class Corvette.
Rather than shell out for a new purpose-built freighter, the wonks at Procurement decided instead to strip the weapons, fire control, hangar bays, and most of the sensor suite out of a Hammerhead and replace it with life support, vehicle garages, and armouries. The specification that the ship be capable of landing on-world meant removing a substantial part of the Hammerhead's "chin", shortening the landing ramp but making it worryingly unstable during re-entry. The resulting ship has a reduced crew requirement, but consequently cannot do very much beyond lug troops and supplies from place to place and scare the pants off whoever has to pilot the thing in atmosphere.
Relationships: Lieutenant Tokarian, a young avianoid with high plumage and a fabulous taste in jewellery. She is perhaps the only other person Sukie would trust to run the Company, having served together throughout their exile on Derra. In action, Tokarian can show the kind of initiative and derring-do that Sukie herself lacks, although she is often too independent for Sukie’s liking, and they have had long and intense arguments over the nature of who exactly is in command.
The 3rd Starborne Infantry is technically a remainder of the 2nd Company of the 1,089th Republican Infantry Regiment, maintained at a strength of about 100. They are well-trained and well-armed although not necessarily well-supplied. Troops unavailable due to illness, injury, or death are replaced with mercenaries from military communities and martial cultures, undergoing a strict interview and vetting process with plenty of paperwork. At present the 3rd Starborne has been folded into the RNSF and is not under Sukie's direct control, although Starborne officers are preferred for leading the foreign company. Her position as Executive Officer only extends so far, and her Lieutenants (The young Muery, taciturn Karna, flamboyant Tokarian, shy Imy, and busybody Curian) have the right to refuse orders or postings they disagree with, or subcontract on their own initiative if they wish.
