Kaley Recourua

Kahaliana (Kaley) Recourua was born on Caspar. She was named after the Kahalian flower that grows wild near the bluffs by her home. The flower is small, beautiful and has a sweet scent. On the flower are hidden tiny thorns, virtually impossible to see by eye, that cause a severe irritation when contacting skin. The perfect flower (according to Kaley's mother) &mdash; precious but untouchable. Her family had lived on Caspar for as long as anyone can remember. (Well, except for Kaley's great great grandfather and no one is sure where he is from, because there are no records of him to be found.)

Kaley's grandmother, Margiza, married an off world human named Jercin. Margiza's family was in an uproar until Margiza and Jercan had their first-born child, a son named Jocah. Only then was the new family again accepted by Margiza's parents.

Not long after Jocah's birth, Jercin had a major hand in developing the harvester unit that is used to mine gas from Kichnar. With part of the money he received from that discovery he started his own business. Recourua Mining Company sells products to help other companies mine, more than they mine themselves.

Jocah, when he was old enough, married his true love, Vicolana, who is a full blood Sarian. Not long later the two had their only child, Kahaliana. The entire family, grandparents included, lives on a large estate west of Trinumvira near the Cappula Ocean. The estate is called The House of the Wind (Casorasala) because the bluffs push a strong breeze through the grounds constantly.

As the business grew in wealth, so did the family. Kaley's grandfather became too old to run the company and gave it to Jocah. And soon the family became very prominent and wealthy.

For most of her youth, Kaley was sent into Caspar's capital, Plaxton, to attend school. Teachers were surprised at her gift of quick learning and passed her though the school's levels quickly.

Kaley's father noticed she was coming of an age where she should learn to live on her own. He discussed this with her and they decided she should move to the city preeminently and get a job. She loved her family and knew she would miss them, but left and found employment with the government, known as the Crest. Showing great aptitude, she was placed within the NIO (Naval Intelligence Organization), firstly as a cultural and asset field analyst. A year or two later, tired of the travel, she had her duties adjusted to a more domestic front, again performing asset analysis, but mostly from the Caspian homeworlds. But not long after receiving her new job, her life long friend, Mick Kuhndog left on a spiritual journey and when he returned he didn't seem like the Mick she had grown up with. This left her feeling alone and unguided. But she knows he will always be there when she needs him.

Along life's journey she found a love, which (as luck would have it) tried to kill her. Times weren't going so well. The Taylor Uprising and War of Papers were causing pressing times in the Admiralty, especially amongst NIO employees, regardless if they were active field agents, directors, or back-office civilian analysts. After this episode, Kaley managed to retire, and pursued a new line of work. She heard that Kichnar was in need of a new Assistant Director and decided to check it out. That is where is finds herself now. She is having a hard time, but is learning to continue. However when things get too rough she doesn't hesitate to call her Daddy and have him fix everything.
