History:

The Tal'Tharan Empire is the dominant force in the Hacetar cluster , a star empire spanning several hundred "First Worlds" in the inner Milky Way galaxy. A Tyrannical Matriarchy, all positions of power and all military forces of the Empire are female, with the men being reduced to subservient roles, and used most often as breeding stock. The Tal'Tharan Expansions seek to export this form of government to other worlds, but while technically the Tal'Tharans view all women as equal, they have an inbred sense of their own superiority and tend to treat the females of other races as lesser beings, somewhere between themselves and all males whom they view with contempt.

Tal'Tharan arrogance is more than cultural however, the women of Tal'Thar may be the most powerful sentient beings in the Milky Way. All of them are born with the innate ability to channel Naryia which, they claim, is nothing less than the sum total of the female energy of creation. When coupled with the high science of their battle armor, this makes a single Tal'Tharan practically unstoppable, and makes a cadre of twelve capable of subjugating an entire world unless that world possesses incredible technology or a large population of powerful Enhanced of their own.

Such was the danger posed by the Expansions, that the rest of the galaxy came together and the Imperia Legion was founded, in response to the Tal'Tharan threat. The members of the Legion, and the Dehnorians in particular, possess the power to confront a Tal'Tharan in full panoply, though several Dehnorians are required to insure even the slightest chance of victory.

The last Tal'Tharan Expansion was halted some 2000 years ago by the combined efforts of The Galactic Benevolence Council, the Imperia Legion and the military might of several other major galactic powers. Since then there has been an uneasy truce between the Imperial Throne and the rest of the galaxy.

Saravis was born the eldest daughter of Empress Vurantis Daefal, and was at one time the heir to the throne of the Tal'tharan Empire. No one is certain why she was sent into exile on earth, and Saravis refuses to speak about it. All that Saravis will reveal is that her starship arrived in the solar system sometime in 2009. After passing through the Commonwealth cordon set up between Neptune and Pluto, she traveled toward Earth at sublight speeds. Arriving in orbit on December 31st 2009, she prepared to descend to the planet below and begin her exile amongst a people she considered little better than primitive savages.

Before she could safely disembark, she was attacked onboard by an assailant or assailants unknown, and her ship was sabotaged. Escaping the assassination attempt, Saravis was forced to flee before her ship self destructed. Less than a third of her cargo containers had been sent down to the surface, and her panoply was not amongst them. Alone on a strange world and without her armor, Saravis traveled to Verdant City to meet with Cassandra, with whom she was to work to redeem herself. The princess was not impressed to find that her civilian alter ego would be working as a personal assistant in a small law firm, the assistant to a man!

In her role as a member of the Cassandra Network, Saravis took the name Valyn Star. The name was drawn both from her people's past and her prized possession. The Valyn were a mythical order, shrouded in mystery and long since extinct. Legends about them claimed that the Valyn had both male and female members and that the men were considered equal to women. Such a position is considered heresy in the Empire, and Saravis may have taken the name out of spite, to anger her mother. The Star comes from Iliandria, the Guardian Star gem that Valyn wears on her belt. Containing the consciousness of a loyal member of the Imperial Guard, the Guardian Star is Valyn's mentor and perhaps her only friend as Valyn's relationships with anyone else are marred by her sense of superiority over, and contempt of, lesser beings.

Cassandra uses Valyn sparingly. There are not many threats that Alpha team cannot handle without her and since the princess is extremely difficult to work with and is generally despised by her colleagues as much as she despises them Cassandra only calls on Valyn in times of real emergency. Cassandra is also concerned that with more exposure, Valyn's greatest weakness will be revealed to the world, and the head of the Network isn't willing to risk that happening unless there is no other option.

Arrogant, aloof, and incredibly powerful, Valyn is the Network's final card, thrown in when the situation is desperate but otherwise left to her own devices.

Powers and Abilities:

As a member of the Tal'Tharan royal family, Valyn is the product of millennia of selective breeding and advanced genetic manipulation. Even without access to Naryia, Valyn is many times stronger and faster than any normal human.

The princess also possesses incredible endurance and durability, able to soak up punishment that would cripple a normal person.

If Valyn is channeling Naryia, she is nigh unstoppable. The abilities below represent Valyn's potential once fully infused with the energy of Naryia

Super Strength: The limit of Valyn's strength has not been ascertained as she is currently able to out lift any machine or test developed. The speculation is that she can lift any object that won't fall apart under the stress of its own weight.

Super Speed: Valyn is capable of air speeds exceeding the High Hypersonic ranges, though due to the potential damage, she normally restrains herself to speeds of less than 10k mph in an atmosphere. Her maximum speed outside of an atmosphere is unknown.

Invulnerability: Apart from her natural durability, when infused with Naryia Valyn projects an energy field around herself that makes her practically invulnerable to all physical and energy attacks, and the impact forces of contact with another object at Hypersonic speeds. This field can be extended around team mates to protect them and even objects to help hold them together when Valyn lifts them.

Energy projection: Valyn can project beams of energy from her hands or eyes that carry immense destructive potential, but doing so for extended periods reduces her available energy rapidly.

Energy Enhancement: Valyn can infuse her female team mates with Naryia, boosting their abilities for a short time or aiding them in rapid recovery from fatigue or injury.

Weaknesses:

While highly resistant to drugs and toxins due to her natural endurance, Valyn does not enjoy Alchemica's total immunity to them and a long enough exposure to them or a drug of sufficient strength can render her unconscious or harm her.

Valyn is also vulnerable to psychic attacks, and magic. The Tal'Tharan race despise magic, considering it an abuse of Naryia, resenting and fearing those who can wield it with sufficient power to threaten them.

Extremely powerful energy and physical attacks can harm Valyn, but no foe she has faced with the exception of the Blood Wraith Relentless has so far proven capable of harming her in this way.

Finally, Valyn's greatest weakness is to her own kind. Naryia, the female energy of creation, resides within all women everywhere to a greater or lesser degree. Valyn's Naryia enhanced invulnerability is not effective against other women. Neither can she use it to enhance her strength to harm them directly. When faced with female foes Valyn must keep her distance or she is forced to rely on her native strength and endurance only.
