Early Life

Thel's parents Varlo and Thessa died while he was still an infant in a terrorist attack on the station they were working on in 3199 He was then sent to live with uncle, Vandi Vadamee, a retired federal navy pilot turned miner in the outer bubble Thel discovered his passion for flying at a young age and was zipping around in his uncle's old sidewinder as early as 8 years old, though he struggled to see where he was going. As soon as he was able he started working with his uncle, mining for void opals and soon had saved enough credits to buy his own ship. Here he honed his skills as a pilot, dodging asteroids and pirates.

Federal Navy Career

After the death of his uncle in 3226, Thel enlisted in the Federal Navy, serving aboard FNS Titan as a fighter pilot & Lieutenant Commander for 34 years until an accident involving a rogue collector limpet resulted in the loss of his left eye, as well as leaving a nasty scar on his neck. Diagnostics later revealed that the malfunctioning limpet mistook Thel's head for a piece of scrap metal. When the opportunity arose, Thel participated in a new bionic eye test, which enabled ship scanner/computer information to be linked directly to the optical framework Shortly afterwards Thel met Cora Moran, with whom he quickly developed a close relationship with, and married 2 years later in 3263.

Family Life

Thel settled into married life after his early retirement from the Federal Navy, buying a small farm in the countryside on a planet in a system away from busy space. Soon after Cora gave birth to twins Vera and Ophelia in 3284, who both inherited their Father's passion for flying.

Political Career

At the same time, Thel began working as an Ambassador to the Empire, at the bequest of the Federal Navy Office, and made great progress in advancing Imperial relations. Thel became well known in the Imperial systems that he frequented, as well as gained a close personal friendship with Imperial Senator [REDACTED] who granted him an honourary rank of Baron and even gifted him an Imperial Clipper to fly for his own personal use.

After the assassination of Imperial Senator [REDACTED] in 3289 Ambassador Vadamee launched an inquiry within his branch in the Federal Navy, suspecting a plot to frame him from within, as he had beeing growing suspicious of the people he worked for. Although Vadamee was proven innocent of guilt beyond doubt by the Imperial courts, the Federation attempted to lay charges of espionage, and accused him of attempting to reignite the war between the Federation and the Empire, thus a bounty of 900m credits was issued for Vadamee.

Defection to the Empire

With some help from Thel's contacts in the Empire, as well as some personal interest from the Imperial Naval Office, he was assisted in defection by faking his death. Thel, Cora and their daughters were then smuggled out of Federation space in the cargo hold of a Type 7 Transporter to the Cubeo system, where they were received and offered asylum. Thel and his family gratefully accepted, offering their allegiance and services whenever required.

Present

For the last 22 years Thel has been living with his family in the Cubeo system, working primarily as a trader, making a vow to never fire another weapon unless it was to defend his family and his home. When he's not running diplomatic missions, you can usually find Thel in the ring of a planet, mining void opals in a janky retrofitted clipper, with retro music blasting through the sound system. Much older than he once was, but much wiser, Thel is a fierce friend and loyal ally, though forever weary of limpet drones.
