| Twenty
seven years into the third millennium of Imperial Rule, General Althoth
was proud to announce the birth of his only daughter, Diana. Named
after the Roman goddess of whose time period General Althoth admired,
she became the apple of his eye. With four older brothers, all of
whom joined the Imperial forces she soon learned to hold her own in
family battles. A master of martial arts, she developed a fondness
for computers as they allowed her to solve problems without the requisite
physical confrontations normal in the Empire. At twenty she continued
the family legacy by joining the Imperial forces. While a competent
pilot, she exhibited a superb knowledge of computers and an ability
to judge peoples motives and actions. This brought her to the attention
of the Imperial intelligence corps. While her father was proud of
his daughter's achievements, he often cautioned her about the ruthlessness
of his peers.
Diana was neither
totally loyal to the Empire nor against it, she preferred to watch
and learn, a trait which was not lost on her father's enemies. While
assisting in the establishment of a covert base on asteroid 407,
Tango 17 of the Isbith system, she became the object of an assassination
attempt which failed. Badly injured she was brought on board the
Frigate Wolf's Den. Believing that her family had also been
killed she aided the Rebel Alliance in disarming a mine she had
helped construct. With no way home, she was at a cross roads in
her life, where she now had to decide which path her life would
follow. With Imperial lines cut-off, Diana found herself a convert
to the Alliance, sworn on revenge against those who had tried to
murder her.
