Captain:Atirieil

Atirieil is a -turned- intelligence agent. Originally a Zxxon Monk in the, she rose to become head of Girdo Intelligence before the Empire's dissolution led to her becoming solely part of.

Early life
Atirieil was born into a Zxxon monastery in the 2710s, around ninety years after the organisation fell under the control of the. This was during the height of the Third Grox War, and although the conflict ended in 2724, its aftermath saw the network of military alliances built by the Tentekh around the galactic centre being left to crumble, and the smaller empires who were involved - already weakened by the Grox - destroyed themselves in a decade-long war. Furthermore, during this time, first contact was made with several newly spacefaring civilisations throughout the who had not been involved in the galaxy's earlier wars. The rapid changing of the political situation led to Girdo Intelligence demanding a fresh supply of agents, so they ordered the Zxxon to alter their training regime so that new monks could be recruited. Once her training was complete in the 2730s, Atirieil was one of the monks selected to become an agent.

In 2738, the Post-Grox Crisis began, and large portions of Girdo Intelligence were directed to following the movements of the various pirate clans who had started to ambush Imperial traders. It was soon discovered that the newer empires had formed a coalition that they referred to as the "Third Galactic Federation", and contracted the pirates to search for technological artefacts of previous civilisations, particularly and the, in order to give them an advantage in a forthcoming war that they planned to wage against the Girdo Empire. As one of the traditional tasks that Zxxon monks were trained to perform was to hunt down ancient relics across the galaxy, many of the Zxxon agents were selected to work on preventing the pirates from achieving their goal, forming an elite team who were placed under the command of Commodore Hlraka.

During the crisis, Atirieil questioned several captive pirates and discovered that they had found the homeworld of Telan, and later managed to locate the Screeble homeworld of Bilzac, both of which led to major Imperial victories against the Federation and their pirate allies. For this and other work during the twelve years of the crisis, she rose to become head of Girdo Intelligence within a year after the organisation's previous leader had been killed in the Battle of Taukappa. Once the conflict was over, Atirieil assigned herself to oversee an excavation of Duellator-class ships on Telemadros, the Madrosor homeworld.

War of Ages
In 2753, the Girdo Empire achieved intergalactic travel, and Atirieil was ordered by Emperor Ghelax to join him on board the Imperium for his mission to the Plazith Rim.
