Birth place:Kuat

Department:Navy
Rank: Rear Admiral
Bio:
Aurora was the second born of Realyn and Demetri Vienneau. Aurora was a small plump happy little girl as anyone would expect when her older brother died when she was, but a fourteen month old child. Perhaps because of this very event Aurora never wanted for anything some would even say spoiled, but at the very same time Aurora became burdened with all of her parent's hopes. Normally one might not consider this a huge price until you realize that Aurora was the daughter of a career navy officer indeed at her birth a admiral and a neurosurgeon.
Unsurprisingly she excelled academically consistently remaining at the top of her class and even skipping many of the normal grades graduating at the top of her class at fourteen. All wasn't well however and Aurora was often depressed as a young teenager even when she entered collage and often felt distance from others even her parents whom she saw little of most of her childhood. What most might think was her greatest achievement nearly killed Aurora though not as many might expect. Two days after learning she was accepted to the Correllian military academy and receiving her bachelors in Aerospace engineering she attempted to commit suicide.
She was found by her room mate at the college and rushed to the emergency room after ingesting a lethal amount of a paralytic compound. Ultimately she recovered from the stunt spurred on from the lack of her parents attendance simply damaged some of her muscles which required her to remain in the hospital for several weeks for care, and to insure she didn't attempt it again. Ironically for the first time in her life it was her parents who set with her in that stark white room. They were on world when she was rushed to the hospital coming to attend a surprise party for their daughter. Eventually Aurora recovered from the incident though not without lasting damage and and a continuing need for medication despite psychiatric help.
For her part Aurora made a great drive to be rather more sociable whilst in academy not that she necessarily made any great gains in that department during her time there she did certainly impress many of her instructors. She did gain one friend during this time a young bothan woman who was also attending the academy named Teliar Drelipah. Their meeting wasn't of either of their planning Aurora had be one of a group offering tutoring in the academy for some time when Teliar arrived seeking help for in some cases dangerously low scores and the two rather quickly became friends despite being nearly polar opposites.
Eventually all things end and Teliar and aurora graduated both being assigned to light corvette's. Graduating Second in the academy aurora was Assigned to the Viper-class corvette Whirl Wind as it's chief helms men. The Whirl wind spent the entirety of Aurora's two year tour aboard escorting Freighter convoys from Corrusant to Mygeeto only rarely being faced with minor pirate attacks. With the end of her time she was reassigned to the Republic Jaguar-class cruiser Mephista. As a young lieutenant as the second mate under Captain Dolgra
During only the her sixth mission on the Mephista had her first true taste of naval ship combat. The Torpedo cruiser was ambushed by a pair of pirate heavy freighters and though while the ship survived and managed to destroy one ship and was forced to limp back to it the nearest dry dock. Unfortunately the nearest port was also the most dangerous and least secure for a republic light cruiser namely the smuggler's moon Nar Shaddar. After nearly a week of negotiation the Mephista was finally allowed to drop it's self in a dry dock on the world during which time the majority of the crew was placed on shore leave. During the long stretch of her leave the ships first mate finally managed to talk the young woman into joining him and some of the other officers in a cantina crawl during which they actually ran into a small group of the planet's less than savory occupants whom attempted to rob both aurora and another officer as they made their way to the next cantina. Stripped practically to their skin both woman were to both their surprises actually allowed to leave by the robbers and rushed back to the ship. Ironically It was a piece of good fortune during the ruffing up the larger group of officers were attacked by the remaining pirates from the Mephista's "grand" battle and murdered all the officers within the group.
The Pirates where unsurprisingly hunted down most having to be killed, but it still left many gaps in the ship's officer corps the highest of which was giving to Aurora Namely the position of ship's first mate. It would be two more years of most boring uneventful humdrum patrols and escorts before the Mephista, or indeed any ship in it's task force was forced into battle. Tasked with clearing the increasingly well armed and well supplied pirates surging in the kessal system the Mephista's battle group was tasked with the most costly portion of the small scale war, destroying the pirates asteroid hulk bases. The largest of which called the scrap yard by the pirates was littered with the un-space worthy hulls of ships that the pirates had piecemeal together as a form of defensive armorment. Both from the guns still operating on many of the hulks and the novel use of actually detonating ship cores as a form of defense against fighters and drop ships. During the battle the Mephista became bogged down in a dense fighter swarm able neither to Fight them off or out run them the ship was slowly picked apart by the fighters before long air leaks began to be reported all across the ship. For the first time in her life Aurora became the hero of the moment when she ordered the ship's shield out put be modified effectively turning the ship's shield into a EMP blast knocking the fighters out and allowing the Hulk it's self to be used as a life boat while the battle still raged around them until a rescue could finally be mounted by the other ships.
With their ship worth little more than scrap the crew was forced back into the pool of officers in the navy indeed Aurora now promoted to a lieutenant Commander found herself little more than a glorified secretary back at the republic naval headquarters on Onderon. Finally, she was assigned her first ship built on Onderon itself the new Quadii-Class ship Dawn was assigned to Aurora. The Dawn a missile frigate was built from the ground up for escorts swift and maneuverable. The ship was used Ironically to defend convoys hauling parts and material for the GRS Aegis. One one such run the facility it's self the part where heading from near mon calamari came under attack my rebel units mostly fighters supported by heavier freighter type attack ships. The Dawn and one small Telos-class corvette were forced to fight a enemy force out numbering them nearly forty to one while protecting both the facility and the shipping lanes.
In the end it was a success despite both ships being taken out of action a hammerhead reinforcing them destroyed the last marauding freighters while the Telos spiraled planet ward engulfed in flames. Severally damaged the Dawn could do little more than be towed to kuat by several of the convoy ships serving a essentially a battle barge. Aurora was left with out a ship and for at least a month stranded on kuat ship yard. most of the available republic ships already rushing towards Dantooine despite the planet already being lost to sith forces. Aurora was finally saved once by her own academic abilities and was assigned to then what was code named Argonaut. A program to produce a advanced republic warship which at the time still officially didn't have a name or designation. Finally on the eve of the projects completion aurora was notified of her promotion to Commander and rather more shocking her assignment to the newly completed warship now designated KNX-221 as it's commanding officer.
Aurora would face the trial of the sith's invasion of mon calamari upon the bridge of the GRS Aegis. Her ship had not been sent to fight the battle, nor to guard the world, but necessity had pulled the ship there. Just before repairs began on the port maneuvering engines began the Aegis was forced out of the dock my numerous unknown contacts.
