Ambrosia Delgard

Pre-Republic History
Born approximately 20 years before the rebellion had dealt its major blow to the Galactic Empire, Ambrosia was born to Raina and Mason Aderanne. The pair had lived on the somewhat backwater planet Pyrdir for a lengthy time prior to their daughter's birth, having moved from their birthplace of Coruscant. Raina placed emphasis on the study of native botany while Mason took interest more in developing technologies.

Shortly after celebration of Amber's second birthday, the family was forced into separation after an Imperial raid on the planet. Valued for their human heritage as opposed to those native to the world, Mason and Raina were taken as live cargo to be transformed into more suitable workers. Unfortunately, her mother posessed a tatoo, marking her as a follower of a peaceful sect notorious for its resistance to numerous lines of Imperial policy. Therefore, she and her daughter were labeled as 'unclean', and Raina would be transported to Kessel. Their daughter, barely capable of speaking complete sentences, was lumped together with the other lesser slaves. Her mind was young enough to be molded as they wished...Or so went the intentions.

At five years of age, Ambrosia began her many years of experience under forced labor in a droid manufacturing plant, working the assembly line with other children of similar age, keeping the clutter clear while more capable hands of machinery assembled the parts.

By age ten, her exhibition of adeptness in the plant 'promoted' her to shift work to a weapons repair line. These years of hard labor did little justice to the delicate frame and poise that the growing girl posessed. These attributes and her seemingly irrepressible spirit did not go overlooked by all the proctors that oversaw her work.

Some months into her fifteenth year, her feisty nature and exhibited grace became the busy bee's undoing. Ambrosia was removed from the weaponry plant and 'sold' to an entertainment company to be schooled in dance. Aside from needing the occasional attitude adjustment, Amber excelled in her craft, to her immediate benefit but ultimate demise.

She was returned to the Imperial facilities upon completion of her training and issued with the other elite performers to be at the service of High Command.

Towards the end of her submissive career, an unfortunate affair resulted some months later in the birth of a child, and in order to save the name of its father, the infant was cast away into the dredges from which she'd managed to climb to be raise as the other slaves.

The loss of this little light that had warmed her darkness lit the fuse of determination to free herself from captivity...or find death in her efforts.

Approximately 1 year before ROTJ, Amber makes her final rebellion. During servitude at a conference, she managed to humiliate an officer, defying the consequent punishment. Sentenced to be transported to Kessel or done away with on board the freighter should she resist, Ambrosia saw opportunity.

A series of fortunate mishaps on board the smaller vessel en route to the slave transport enabled her to overcome those holding her captive, one being Mason Aderanne, the formerly peaceful man from Pyrdir. Unfortunately, being ignorant in starship navigation had dire consequences. The craft crashed on a nearby moon, killing most on board, including her father. Badly wounded herself, the desperate young woman managed to escape from the wreckage.

Passing merchants caught signal of the automated emergency pulse and swooped in to investigate. If nothing else, they could perhaps salvage some of the gear for later profit. The battered Amber, having lapsed into unconsciouness, is rescued.

After rumors flew of Palpatine's death, Amber spent the next few years of her life in search of this pesky 'rebellion'. Meeting with John Lage and his crew, she begins a friendship that would last until Lage's later death.

New Republic History
Approximately four years after ROTJ, Ambrosia's travels to Caspar led to an encounter with political figures Eva Sargent and Dean Corso, the latter of which was the current NR representative to the CDU, heading the NR embassy on Casparian soil. Gradually, she becomes inducted into the Diplomatic Corps for the NR.

Ambrosia serves first as Dean's aide, shadowing him during meetings with dignitaries and pushing paperwork. After an assassination attempt on his life that proved nearly successful, Dean vanishes, leaving her to run his embassy.

The default-made representative had run her post with fair stability for about a year's time. Shortly thereafter, the embassy on Caspar is infiltrated and attacked by a local terrorist group known as the "OO". Surviving the attack with serious injuries, Ambrosia makes a rather horrific discovery of a message written on parchment of human flesh, crawls into the snow, and mercifully faints. Her future husband, Tivadar Delgard, stumbles over her body in the chaos of the scene's investigation.

Her heroism and efforts to protect the embassy catch the gentle eye of Leia Organa and she is promoted to the rank of Ambassador.

Meantime, negotiations between the CDU and NR resume after a long delay in efforts to devise a peace pact. Peshk Vry'lya oversees this process, letting Ambrosia take the reins in negotiations.

Around this time, an emergence of a worrisome figure on the streets of Caspar spurs Ambrosia to uncover the secrets that pose a threat to herself and the people. She meets with retired Imperial official, Pantek, in an underground scheme for information, both parties initially unaware of eachother's past...until Pantek has a slyly-collected bit of her DNA analyzed in their databanks. He uncovers her hidden history, resulting in a stallmate. Using some personal information as playing chips against Pantek, Ambrosia barters blackmail with blackmail, and eventually both come to a compromise. She learns of her mother's whereabouts through Pantek and a secret plan is formed to recover the long-lost woman. With Kizuka and his crew, they break her from Kessel's mines.

After more than a year of debate, the treaty between the CDU and NR is finally signed.

Later incidents between the two governments place all terms on thin ice, sending the poor Ambassador in desperate circles to make ammends. In the meantime, an old face, Tivadar, reappears after two years of alleged death.

Tivadar Delgard and Ambrosia Aderanne are wed on the golden sands of Corellia's beaches. She moves back to Caspar's Embassy to continue her duties while Tivadar resumes his work on patrols, though later he retires from the NR and works instead for CEC. A little over a year later, their daughter, Gabi, is born.

Ambrosia and her family still reside at the Embassy. Most recently, the Casparian coup that resulted in Mahon's coming to power became a cause to review the peace pact and make alterations as necessary. Most recently, she has taken on an aide, Mr. Vyal Ruathen.
