Character Snapshot (Moff Alethia Archenksova)
Commander Alethia Archenksova
Alethia doesn’t much look the part of a ruthless enforcer of government authority. Perhaps a bit too tall to be called dainty, she is nevertheless slender and fine-boned. Her movements are graceful and deliberate, owing to a youth spent in dance classes and finishing schools. Out of uniform, she’s anything but intimidating - but at work her icy demeanor and carefully cultivated aura of omniscience and control are enough to chill the blood of her close friends, to say nothing of her enemies.
Alethia has a generally cool complexion, with fair, even-toned skin. She has been dyeing her hair a silver color since her teens, although she has been known to freely change the color while under cover. Alethia keeps her hair about shoulder-length and usually wears it pulled back.
Alethia wears her uniform only around Satele Shan's base of operations and aboard its starships. Elsewhere, flowing gowns, billowing sleeves, and even cloaks serve both as decoration and distraction. Alethia spends a considerable portion of her pay having her outfits tailored to her exact specification. These modifications usually have more to do with form than function: tear away seams, concealed pockets, collar- or cuff-mounted comlinks, and in one case even a plastoid armor corset. Archenksova favors cool shades of blue, purple, and green; soft, light fabrics; and cuts that hint at or accentuate her figure rather than blatantly displaying it.
It's very rare to see Alethia without her hair and makeup in perfect order, and many wonder why a such a practical woman devotes such time and expense to cosmetics.

Combat Droid
Droid Modification: Hidden Compartments
Droid Cosmetic: Mint Condition
Droid Combat Modification: Increased Agility
Droid Personality: The Caretaker
Prototype: KX-series Security Droid
The KX-series Security droid, also known as an enforcer droid, is a security droid designed for use by the Galactic Empire. It comes fitted with a comm package, recharge port and computer interface arm that allows them to connect to communication frequencies in respective areas they were assigned across the galaxy. It has a tall and versatile humanoid bipedal design that gives it great versatility and provides the ability to operate a multitude of vehicles or assist in a wide range of tasks designed for humanoids.
Hidden Compartments
KX-series Security Droid has been modified from standard design parameters to be fitted with a compartment for additional storage. In order to do so, certain sacrifices had to be made. As opposed to a standard KX-series Security Droid, KX-series Security Droid is lacking all interface components used for connecting to terminals.
Mint Condition
KX-series Security Droid has been painstakingly cared for, and even upon close examination it appears as though KX-series Security Droid was freshly off the manufacturing line. Absent of any scratches, dents or even the slightest imperfections, the only thing missing is the new droid smell.
Increased Agility
KX-series Security Droid has been given additional programming that allows it to execute its programs at a faster rate, allowing the droid to react more quickly than a stock KX-series Security Droid in execution of its duties. These extra lines of code run on all programs, and slows the ability for the droid to arrive at answers to complex inquiries.
The Caretaker
KX-series Security Droid has developed a personality around the concept of a caretaker. It has assumed the needs of its owner to be its prime directive, even such tasks that have not been requested of it. This results in KX-series Security Droid often flitting about in an attempt to meet any possible task before it is necessary, including menial tasks.

Information and intelligence have always been Alethia's favored tools, because they represent control. Her weaknesses are not really weaknesses unless an enemy discovers them, while knowing her opponent and feeding him false information allows her to completely control his movements. Thus information is an obsession for Alethia, and she constantly conducts espionage and fact-finding missions, even against her allies. While this usually pays impressive dividends, her need to know and be prepared occasionally raises the ire of her targets. In other cases, it causes her to put off action in favor of research. Those around Archenksova are never quite sure what she does and doesn't know, but it's usually more than they would like.
Alethia spent her entire adult life, before joining Odan-Urr, fighting for the New Order and, although the Empire itself may have failed her, she still hold to its ideals. She appreciates order and devotion to duty, believes the government and military have a central role in civilized society, and suspects that ‘democracy’ is just a euphemism for anarchy. Her belief that this is the only path to a peaceful life for the average citizen is so overwhelming that she has difficulty even grasping the concept that others disagree. Alethia expects unwavering loyalty, to Odan-Urr if not to her personally. Those who disappoint her find the consequences most unpleasant. This puts her at odds with many of her Clanmates, who view her idea of ‘a safe and secure society’ as a totalitarian dystopia, and worry about the extreme lengths she’ll resort to in order to build it.
Between her desire to control other's impressions of her, and the genuinely horrifying things she's seen and done over the years, Alethia has become generally unflappable. Most people who manage to impress her or shock her never even realize they've done so. This makes her an excellent gambler and gives her a great deal of personal satisfaction, and usually provides more comfort than frustration to those under her command. Genuine expressions of fear, disgust, or horror tend to be dismissed by those familiar with her as bluffs or attempts at humor.
A naturally gregarious woman who was raised for life as a socialite, Alethia has an almost instinctive understanding of etiquette and can be exceptionally charming if she’s in the fight frame of mind. However, years of deceit and paranoia prevent her from lowering her guard enough to truly connect to people. Alethia has many superficial friends, but hardly any that she really trusts. Moreover, this charm vanishes when she’s ‘at work,’ and for every barfly or dance partner who’ll tell you how sweet she is, there are two SeNet operatives who will grow pale at the mere mention of ‘Major Archenksova.’
Alethia is hardly the galaxy's deadliest warrior, and she's certainly no Jedi or Sith. While she's competent in several forms of combat, she realized a long time ago that her training is simply insufficient for a fair fight against most of her enemies: so she cheats. An abundance of grace and cunning, charm, stealth, surprise, unusual weaponry, and a thorough understanding of her enemy can prove every bit as deadly as a Sith's lightsaber or a sniper's blaster. In combat, Alethia steers her opponent into hazards and does whatever she can to lure him into situations that turn his strengths into weaknesses. Ideally, she will attack her enemy in a way that he won't recognize until the damage is done. Unfortunately, this only works in situations where she is able to move freely and control the initiative of the fight.
Many Jedi and their allies seek to preserve life even when their own is under threat. They use their abilities only for defense, never attack. Alethia is not one of them. Like Tarkin, she believes that winning this battle isn’t enough; the only way to protect yourself is to win every battle by taking away your enemy’s will to ever oppose you again. She doesn’t care about elegance, technique, or fairness in combat. Her only concern is finding a way to crush any resistance as efficiently as possible. Consequently, she fixates on destroying her enemy and is loath to withdraw and negotiate a peaceful settlement, even if it would be more beneficial to her or her allies.
