OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
As a lieutenant, Lien served in the Imperial Navy of the Atrisian Empire, what was later declared to be the Galactic Empire. As a scientist, she served as the com-scan officer aboard star cruisers projected the power of Emperor Akio Kahoshi's Galactic Empire as far as Chiss space and the Unknown Regions, where she would develop a lot of the initial research into astrophysics -- which she would later use as the foundational data of her graduate work in that field.
By the time of the One Sith occupation of Atrisia, Lien had left the uniformed service in order to pursue higher education at the University of Coruscant. A published researcher at the time of Atrisia's "liberation" by the Galactic Alliance, Lien was a doctoral candidate at the University of Alderaan. Returning to Atrisia with reconstruction and aid crews sponsored by Alderaan Engineering, Lien worked to restore weather patterns across the planet. When the Galactic Alliance collapsed in 851 ABY, Lien was commissioned as a commander and placed in charge of the sciences division of the Atrisian Naval Corps.
A year later, she served as the executive officer of the first major starcruiser to fly under the flag of the Atrisian Commonwealth. The following year, she was promoted to the rank of captain and placed in command of the Dragon's Fang. Her selection to the post, a scientist in command of a star destroyer, was quite deliberate and in keeping with the yin and yang principles of the Atrisians. At her disposal are some of the most powerful weapon systems that Atrisian Commonwealth has to bear.
And the Atrisian Parliament knows that Lien will think twice before she uses them.

- TSE Dominion of Shri-Tal Hex (posts #5, 9, 20, 55)
- Mission to Eisei
- Age: 50 standard years
- Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
- Species: Atrisian Human
- Appearance: An aging Atrisian matriarch in the twilight of middle age, Lien stood just a hair above 1.6 meters height. Her hair was a lighter shade of brown, with a reddish tint that was starting to silver at the temples. She kept her hair long, though it was usually tied back when in uniform. She had the stereotypical dark amber eyes of Atrisia.
- Name: Lien Beifong
- Rank: Captain, Atrisian Royal Navy
- Loyalties: Atrisian Commonwealth
- Wealth: As a career civil servant, Captain Beifong's personal assets are meager but substantive. Her status as a senior officer affords her a higher than average salary, housing stipends, and several tax free advantages that maximize her earnings.
- Notable Possessions: Hololink XJ9
- Skills:
- Top Level Scientific Mind. She studied theoretical hyperspace mechanics at the Imperial Academy, and later pursued graduate work in cosmology before receiving her doctoral degree in astrophysics. Few in the military have her level of education or experience in deep space exploration, providing her an unique perspective as a senior naval command officer.
- Trained Tactician. Though originally commissioned as a science officer, she is a graduate of the Imperial Academy. A thirty year veteran of the Atrisian Empire and its successor, the Atrisian Commonwealth, her career has included training in advanced starship tactical operations. This training includes experiences in the field, such as commanding the evacuation of Shri-Tal or the ill-fated mission to Eisei. If her education makes her brilliant, her training makes her formidable.
- Personality: Reserved, though not stoic. Lien demonstrates the traditional values of Atrisia, being both quiet and reserved yet forceful and resolved when provoked. It is rare for her to express anger, and her philosophy favors diplomacy over tactical action. An analyst, through and thought, Lien does not rush to judgment but tries to think through her next action, to include its possible second and third order effects.
- Weapon of Choice: Briletto PPK
- Combat Function: Tactical level commander, such as in command of a star cruiser or task force.
- Badass Bookworm. She's a graduate of the Imperial Academy with a commission in the Navy in one hand and advanced research in theoretical hyperspace mechanics in the other.
- The Determinator. She is the captain. Above all else, she understands that the crew draws strength from her as a symbol. The duranium bulkheads will quiet before she will.
- Technical Pacifist. Lien believes that there are always alternatives to fighting, and that one chooses to try and find those alternatives or not. As such, an enemy commander could take advantage of the fact that she will not fire the first shot.
- Non-Force User. Susceptible to the enemy's use of Battle Meditation, Mind Trick, or other means of Force-based manipulation.
