Enyo Typhos
Control
Intent: To flesh out Enyo's posse by subbing one of the minions who's appeared in a number of threads.
Image Credit: Here. Picture of Akaavi Spar, a companion character in the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic. Alas, it seems all but impossible to find pictures of alien cyborgs, especially Zabrak ones. So this one will have to do.
Role: One of Enyo Typhos' chief lieutenants. Neda served as commander of the Eisenkrieger, Enyo's cyborg strike force.
Permission: Permission for all ArmaTech gear and all other subs made by Laira Darkhold's writer here and here. Can use Firemane stuff because I own the company.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION
Age: 31
Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
Species: Zabrak
Appearance: Neda is tall, strong and has a soldier's physique. She has an attractive, but scarred face with red skin and traditional Zabrak tattoos. There is some heavy scarring around the eye sockets, both from surgery. Her eyes are advanced cybernetics that improve her eye sight and give her access to varying vision modes such as infrared and low-light. While not obvious, they look a little off compared to organic ones. Her right arm is a skeletal mechanical prothesis. It is made of Phrik, which makes it resistant to lightsabres and very durable. While she could cover it with synthflesh, she chooses not to. It is very durable and has a strong grip. As a reward for faithful service to the Consortium, her cybernetic arm was upgraded with a repulse hand. Neda prefers to wear her military fatigues or armour. She can almost always been seen wearing a side arm on her hip. She dislikes fancy uniform and so when she has to wear one, she dons her old Sergeant uniform with her officer's rank bars stitched to it. Like all Zabrak, Neda has a second heart and is very resistant to physical pain.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
Name: Neda Chazzak.
Loyalties: Eisenkrieger, Enyo Typhos, Archangel Research and Design, Iron Fist Consortium, Revenant Industries, Typhos Clone Family.
Wealth: Modest. Neda is not rich, but well-off as a senior field officer. Moreover, she has some ability to requisition resources that she needs in order to accomplish her task. She has some loot stashed away from her days as a One Sith Stormtrooper and later mercenary.
Notable Possessions:
- Keeps a shoto she took from a dead Jedi on Lujo as a trophy, though she lacks the training to use it.
- She also carries an old Irridionian talisman that was passed on to her by her mother. It is an utterly mundane family heirloom from better days and does not confer any special abilities on her.
- She keeps the dog tags of some of her dead comrades from her Sith army days.
- ACS-206 Arrowhead Missile Launcher
- ACS-203 Hellstorm Blastercannon
- Mk1 Boltgun
- MSD-32
- ACS-205 Advanced Dual Weapon System
- One suit of Aliit'Vereen Beskar'gam
- Blackhide Armour
Personality: Bit of a blood knight, tough, professional, likes explosions. Neda drew up in an environment where you had to be strong and self-reliant in order to survive, and this has not shaped her outlook. She has no time for noble ideals, seeing them as naive. She joined the One Sith's army as a conscript, but never cared for the mystical beliefs of Jedi or Sith. She can be amusingly crude and snarky, but is focused and disciplined in the field. Her working relationship with Enyos was awkward and marked by distrust, especially when a raid on an Archangel base almost went awry. Neda distinguished herself during the fight, but was seriously injured and almost killed during a fight with a prototype war droid. After it Enyo rebuilt her...and tampered with her mind slightly. Neda is unaware of this, but more obedient to her boss now. She accepts the implants as something that have made her stronger and more resilient. She sometimes has a tendency to snark at her boss, which is something Enyo tolerates. Neda is typically straightforward in expressing her thoughts and opinions
Neda tried to return to civilian life after the One Sith's collapse, but found she could not adjust. She had seen too much. Moreover, on a certain level she relishes the thrill of combat and pitting herself against 'worthy opponents'. She is accustomed to violence and fairly ruthless. Bloodshed, torture and wars of conquest do not faze her. What does vex her is pointless cruelty, stupidity and waste. She judges a leader by their ability to get things done and not needlessly waste resources and lives of allies. In short, she prefers a competent tyrant to someone who is fixated on honour and 'doing the right thing' because in her view that sort of leader would wind up dead and drag his followers down with him.
She has no qualms about using underhanded methods to achieve success in a fight or get what she wants. As a field commander, she does not suffer fools and will not hesitate to have someone who's a liability beaten or, if need be, summarily executed, but she'll stick with them if they do their job well. While Neda knows of the power Force-users wield, she is not in awe or particularly impressed by them. The Zabrak is a commanding presence, but more approachable than her stoic boss. She takes a casual enjoyment to warfare that more peaceful beings would probably find disturbing. To her warfare is a talent she has spent her entire life honing into an artform that she thoroughly enjoys. She is no sadist, but revels in the thrill of battle.
Neda still has irregular contact with her family. Her father had managed to get a job on the Kuat shipyard, rising to the position of a low level supervisor. Alas, he perished during the Rogue Sith's attack. However, her mother is still alive and Neda sends money home to support her. She has a younger sister who's a freighter pilot. Family gatherings are mildly awkward and the topic of what Neda does for a living is diplomatically avoided. The same applies to what happened to her arm. She still sends money home to support her kin and visits from time to time.
The Zabrak was one of Enyo's minions charged with looking after the Cyborg's younger siblings. This is a mark of trust. Neda dislikes Alexia Zarides because the young clone is a xenophobic humanist. They are professional when they work together, but distant. The soldier respects Enyo, but sees no reason to treat her boss' siblings as superiors. For the same reason, she does not like Valerian much since she finds him pompous. By contrast, she gets on well with Thuella. The young Dahomian clone is a budding scholar and quite friendly. She has helped Neda upgrade some of her cybernetics. Thuella is no warrior, unlike her template Tempest, but Neda has taught her some self-defence skills.
Neda finds Thalia undisciplined and kind of bratty, but likes her combative spirit and has taken the time to teach her some skills. Thalia still tends to leave their training sessions with lots of bruises. She finds the Zabrak bossy, but appreciates the attention. Neda has on occasion had extract her from bars where she caused a ruckus. Or scare away potential lovers that Enyo deemed unsuitable. Neda has a surprisingly decent relationship with Amara, even though their morals are worlds apart. Back when Amara was still with the Consortium, they had a slightly prickly relationship where they teased each other, but there was some affection there. She does not get on well with Chiyoko Mitzutam because the Atrisian clone is all about justice and punishing evildoers. Neda finds this naive and thinks the clone lacks an understanding of how the real world works.
On an idiosyncratic note, gardening is one of Neda's hobbies. There was no green in the Kuati slum she grew up in. It was all concrete and polluted air. She enjoys having a little patch of green and is very meticulous in taking care of it. Woe to anyone who does not respect her garden. She likes acquiring exotic plants for it and is surprisingly knowledgeable about botany.
COMBAT INFORMATION
Weapon of Choice: She is a heavy weapons specialist, particularly with a missile launcher. She also likes to use a rotary blaster cannon or a bolter. Also skilled with blade, blaster and explosives.
Combat Function: Talented in standard infantry operations and commando actions. Neda is very skilled in ranged and melee combat, with a preference for weapons that go boom. She has a lot of experience fighting Jedi and other Force-Users. Like with all Eisenkrieger, her cybernetics endow her with superior speed, strength, resilience and reaction time compared to a normal soldier. She also has some increaded resistance to disease and infection. Similar to a Guavian minion, she has a mechanical reservoir that acts as a second heart, injecting a combination of chemical into her bloodstream that boosts adrenaline. An advanced alacrity implant improves her nervous system. Her body has been enhanced by a Cardio-Muscle Package.
Her role is that of a field commander. She can direct soldiers in battle, has an understanding of low level logistics and is good on the tactical level. However, she is a field officer, not a general. Like with all Eisenkrieger, she has a brain implant that gives her instant communication with the other cyborgs. Artificial eyes give her better sight and targeting. Finally, her cybernetic arm was recently upgraded by giving it a repulse-hand, which gives her a brutal weapon in melee combat. While her implants are hardened and she wears armour that provides a measure of protection, she is still vulnerable to powerful ion and EMP blasts. Neda is not a good pilot.
Strengths:
- Cybernetic implants endow her with incredible strength, speed, durability, stamina and reaction time compared to a normal human. Furthermore, a brain implant enhances coordination and allows her to communicate nonverbally with her minions.
- Elite soldier. She is particularly skilled in the use of heavy weapons.
- Sensory Overload. Augmented with greater than average sight, Neda is more susceptible to disorientation caused by bright flashing lights. Her hearing has also been augmented and thus its greater sensitivity can leave her more vulnerable to being disorientated by high-pitch frequencies such as those emitted by sonic weapons.
- Though hardened against deactivation, powerful blasts of ion and EMP can impair or disable her cybernetic implants.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Neda is rather tight-lipped about her origins, but she was born on the world of Kuat. She grew up far away from the glorious shipyards or the grand palaces of the Kuati aristocracy, in one of the capital city's slums. Down there, as one of the underclasses, she grew up poor and went through the school of hard knocks. Growing up on the streets, she lived the life of a common criminal, committing petty crimes such as drugs dealing, theft and burglaries. Her life was underwent a profound change when she was arrested, shortly after the One Sith added Kuat to their domain. After being given the appropriate lashing meant to teach criminal miscreants the error in their ways, Neda made the wise choice to agree to a commuted sentence in return for enlistment in the Sith army. The One Sith legions were in need of more cannon fodder, after all, especially since many powers were quite focused on eradicating them, albeit without success so far.
So she was shipped off to boot camp, along with various other 'habitual criminals' few on Kuat would miss. Training was brutal, discipline strict and there was the ever present issue of Sith acolytes having anger management issues. Neda was disciplined a number of times, such as after stabbing a racist officer with her vibroknife, but she soon to army life. In a way, it had been a blessing because it got her out of the slums, gave her structure and a purpose, as much as she resented the Force-users due to their arrogance and privileges.
Given rather basic training, she was soon thrown into war. What she had not learned in Basic, the blood-soaked battlefields of the Sith's rampage across the Core taught her. Within a short span of time, almost all the original members of her company were dead. But the young Zabrak survived, distinguishing herself through bravery and a good tactical mind. She showed an affinity for heavy weapons, and thus she received training as a specialist.
While she'd missed the early victories of the Dark Lord's armies at Coruscant, Alderaan and Empress Teta, she participated in several occupations during the Netherworld Crisis, as well as the subsequent battles, such as Togoria and Lujo. The brutality of the war and the cruel nature of the Sith's campaigns soon hardened her. She did not care about the Sith or their religious war, but was driven to excel and focused on her survival. She was soon promoted to NCO, and given leadership over a squad. On Lujo, she managed to take down a Jedi with a stolen bolter and some sonic grenades.
Soon afterwards, she was thrown into the brief One Sith civil war, when a rebel Sith army sought to topple the Dark Lord. This strange episode ended with the Dark Lord dead, but rather than the rebel leader a Dark Council took control. The politics were beyond a common grunt like Neda, but the instability caused doubts to surface. Still, she fought on Togoria and soldiered on. Finally, she broke with the Sith when the Galactic Alliance and its allies conquered Coruscant.
The Empire was losing, its leaders were deserting, and there was no point in fighting any longer. Her commanding officer, a Sith fanatic, disagreed. So she shot him in the back. She and her comrades vanished in the chaos, deserting. In the aftermath of Coruscant, Neda drifted, unable to find her place. The devastation the Rogue Sith unleashed on Kuat shook her badly, though she was relieved to find out that some of her family survived when she returned to her homeworld. She tried her hand at settling down, doing odd jobs such as construction worker, working as a bouncer in a club and a bodyguard for a merchant, but she soon ended up as a mercenary.
Coincidentally, one of her former comrades now worked for the Sith Triumvirate, and so Neda managed to get a job as a hired gun. She arrived just in time for the Silver Sanctum Coalition's invasion of Ruusan. Her unit was caught in fierce fighting in the planet's ruined capital, fighting Silver Jedi and Firemane mercenaries. She weathered a Coalition artillery bombardment, but things soon took a bad turn for her when the Dark Jedi Siobhan Kerrigan wrecked her unit's entrenched position with an absurd display of telekinesis. This put the mercenary out of commission, for she was severely injured and carried away by medics. Ironically, this saved her life because it meant she missed the Sith dropping proton bombs on the city. The Triumvirate won, the Coalition was forced to retreat in defeat. However, all three original Triumvirs had died or disappeared during the battle, so the Triumvirate disolved shortly thereafter.
Thoroughly fed-up with Force-users and their pseudo-religious squabbles, Neda took her leave after looting a bit. The Zabrak became a mercenary. She got involved in the Omega War and fought at Castameer. Some of her old comrades had joined the Rogue Sith, who had decided that if they could not have the Galaxy no one else should, so they would burn it down. However, Neda saw no point in senseless destruction and dismissed them as 'sore losers'. So she fought on the side of the coalition of the willing that destroyed the Omega. When she faced former comrades in arms, she did not waver. After the destruction of the superweapon, she ended up on Coruscant. There she served as an enforcer for a local crime boss. Her work paid the bills, but left her unfulfilled. As much as she disliked the Sith, being part of the Empire's war machine had given her a purpose. The job paid the bills, but she was unsatisfied with shooting gangers, threatening or beating up clients who owed her boss money or intimidating merchants into paying protection fees. It did not help that the legbreakers she was in charge of her were common street thugs with none of the discipline or skill of professional soldiers. She came her life as mundane and her opponents as 'unworthy'. Then she ran into Enyo Typhos when the clone punched, bludgeoned and shot her way into a position of leadership over several gangs. Neda's gang was one of those that was compelled to bend the knee to her. She distrusted the new boss, recognising her resemblance to a certain Dark Jedi. However, she was wise enough not to plot insurrection after Enyo made an example of some thugs who disobeyed her.
It soon dawned on Neda that the Dark Force-User had larger ambitions than being a slum lord. Her military training and questioning attitude did not go unnoticed by her new boss. Neda belonged to the strike force of the newly-formed Iron Fist Consortium that attacked a research facility of Archangel, a corporation Enyo was on the warpath against. Showing her mettle as a small unit leader and a combatant, Neda was seriously injured while fighting a giant war droid, losing an arm and suffering severe burns. Recognising her utility, Enyo recovered her badly wounded body and rebuilt her with cybernetic implants.
Neda was plagued by bad, confusing dreams during her convalescence. It also took time to get used to her cybernetics and she suffered from phantom pain. However, she soon returned to action and threw herself into work, feeling a strange bond with her boss. Rising to become one of Enyo's top lieutenants, she helped form and train the Eisenkrieger, acting as their drill sergeant. Not all of the prospective recruits survived their training. Neda's methods were harsh, but got results. She applied the skills she had learned as a Stormtrooper to turn them into an actual military force. Subsequently she participated in a number of raids. When a Zabrak Sith called Vaylin hired Enyo and her gang to help her raid a Jedi Enclave, Neda helped plan the operation. Due to her experience fighting Jedi, she was put in charge of a team. To prevent the enclave from calling for help, the Iron Fist jammed their communications. Her assault team stormed one of the entrances, using knockout gas and Ixetal Cilona, along with scatterguns, sonic weapons and rapid fire blasters. Neda personally took out a Jedi through use of a concussion rifle. Working together with a liquid metal bot, she took out a valiant Jedi pulling off a rear guard action. By now Enyo and Vaylin had stormed the enclave. The remaining Jedi had retreated to the hangar, but were cut off. The more experienced ones were killed, the Padawans and Younglings captured. Vaylin and Enyo divided up the 'spoils'. Enyo turned her captives into cyborg assassins.
A bit later Neda accompanied Enyo to Rishi, where the cyborg intended to close a business deal with a local crime lord. Neda remained with the Quasar, Enyo's ship, to make sure there were no surprises. However, events took an unexpected turn when suddenly all the droids went amok and started killing organics. Various machines tried to force entry into the ship. Neda reacted quickly and ordered a lockdown, using the ship's turrets to keep them at bay. However, the spaceport's flak turrets kept it grounded. Fortunately, Enyo was able to remove this obstacle after rejoining them and was picked up. Having detected energy signatured on an island, the Quasar dropped Neda and Enyo off. After taking out turrets with a missile launcher, they ran into Garnet, who introduced herself as an agent of the Contingency. This was a group of Shards that wanted revenge on the Galaxy for Palpatine's genocidal purge. She made Enyo a job offer. The Cyborg was noncommittal, but willing to hear her out. She ordered her crew to make a show out of firing on Garnet's ship, but let her escape.
Later she ran into the Shard again when the Contingency made droids run amok during an auction. Though a bit put out by the melodramatic attitude of a Shard called Sapphire, Enyo accepted the job offer, but the Contingency would have to prove its good faith by striking a blow against Archangel. Garnet agreed and shortly thereafter both groups launched a joint assault against Archangel's secret base. While the Contingency's armada destroyed Archangel's fleet, Enyo, Amara and Neda led a ground assault. They stormed the base and fought scores of droids. While Enyo had a duel with Maelion Liates and Amara rescued the surviving Force clones after taking out an HRD called Vess, Neda and her boys dealt with the droid troops, stole data and laid explosives. Neda ended up duelling an HRD. At first she fought the replicant with a vibro-axe until the droid's lightsabre destroyed it. She managed to kick the sabre out of the droid's hand, but the HRD grabbed her throat. Struggling to breathe, Neda managed to shoot the droid in the head with a holdout blaster, damaging its eyes. One of the HRD's hands morphed into a small blade and injured her torso. One of Neda's Trandoshan comrades managed to momentarily distract the droid by firing a high-velocity slugs at it. Neda grabbed its discarded lightsabre and lobbed its head off. Her mechanical reservoir pumped a steady supply of adrenaline into her bloodstream. It kept the Zabrak going despite her injuries. The Eisenkrieger continued their fighting retreat.
Ultimately, Maelion was destroyed by Enyo and the base was blown up. Enyo later betrayed the Contingency because she no longer needed them and their leader Onyx had turned out to be insane. Thus she helped an unlikely coalition of allies destroy him and foil his doomsday plot. Garnet joined her rebellion. Neda did not participate in the Battle of Tartarus. Enyo was concerned about Archangel retaliation and charged the Zabrak with keeping her siblings safe. Neda also oversaw operations on Coruscant. Some gang members used the boss' absence as an opportunity to plot. But their attempt to conduct mutiny and take some of Enyo's siblings hostage was thwarted by her. She carried out hangings to make an example. To raise additional funds, Enyo supported the Sith Empire's expansionary ventures as a private contractor.
Neda fought at Mirial, Thyferra and Alderaan. On Mirial the Eisenkrieger had been contracted to help deal with the zombies that were menacing the natives. Neda correctly suspected that the story of a Primeval doomsday cult raising the dead was a lie and that the Sith were responsible. After all, the story of benevolent Sith protectors did not hold water, especially considering the past actions of their Emperor. She also suspected Enyo had had a hand in the summoning. However, she held her tongue. The 'cleanup' operations were interrupted by a Silver Jedi invasion. Neda and the Eisenkrieger fought alongside their boss, battling the Jedi. The Sith Empire was the winner of the battle. Later Enyo and the Eisenkrieger participated in the sack of Thyferra and helped the Sith burn the Galactic Alliance planet. Neda and her comrades used the chance to loot by stealing bacta and abducting some scientists. All the death and destruction did not faze her. She had done the same sort of thing during her time as a soldier of the One Sith.
While plotting to raid a Phrik mine on Gormas, Enyo and her followers came across the Kraal, who had ironically come here with the same agenda. While Enyo's 'sister' Amara Zarides and one of the Consortium's cyborg Force acolytes used stealth to sneak up on the Kraal transports and sabotage them, Enyo and the Eisenkrieger ambushed the lizardmen. They were able to prevail in the fight. Then Enyo, Amara and Ylva defeated three champions of the Kraal clan, whereupon the lizardmen retreated. This earned Enyo an invitation to Karakorum, the Kraal homeworld. A detachment of Eisenkrieger accompanied Enyo to the desert planet, where she negotiated with the Kraal Imperator. To prove herself, she had to bring them the head of a massive wurm. Said wurm was lured into an ambush with a bait that consisted of slaves wired with explosives. Weakened after devouring its explosive meal, the wurm came under fire by Consortium soldiers with heavy weapons. However, the wurm did not go down easily, swallowing several Eisenkrieger. Enyo herself was pulled into its maw, but managed to cut her way out with her lightsabre thanks to being made of Phrik. The trophy was presented to the Imperator, who granted Enyo permission to recruit some of his people as mercenaries.
Neda was not part of the Karakorum mission, having been charged with securing the Gromas mine. However, after being alerted by Enyo she paid Mon Cal a visit. There Amara had been busy acquiring ships. She had completed her task but been attacked by an Archangel HRD. The assassin droid almost killed her, but she survived. However, a Jedi Master called Phylis Alince took care of her wounds. The Jedi knew Siobhan and the Iron Fist fooled her into thinking that Amara was a Firemane agent. Neda was canny enough to maintain the ruse and picked up the young clone before the Consular could put two and two together.
After reuniting with Enyo, she put to work training Kraal warriors and teaching them some discipline. She and her soldiers were subsequently deployed to Alderaan. There they saw action at Juranno, joining a Sith force commanded by the Witch-Necromancer Matsu Xiangu and the ancient war droid Six-O. The battle was a bloody one. While the Sith pounded Juranno with heavy artillery, Neda's Eisenkrieger and the Last Fathers, a crack unit of Maenan warriors, fought Alderaanian mountaineers in the Juran Mountain. Heavy fighting raged as they ascended these arctic peaks, battling both the enemy and the merciless cold. Painted in frost and gore, Neda fought, leading her troops from the front. She came close to death several times. At one point she used her new repulse hand to great effect to kill an Alderaanian soldier who had her pinned down and was trying to cut her throat. By fire and manoeuvre the Eisenkrieger advanced. The battle went back and forth until they managed to break through the enemy lines. However, casualties were significant. They received reinforcements from Vaylin and Sith light infantry. Subsequently they attacked the city itself. The Kraal marauders were unleashed upon Juranno.
Then Archangel retaliated. Having lain low for a long time, Moira Skaldi had made an alliance with Contingency remnants and acquired some of their technology. Archangel had also carried out raids against Eldorai exodite communities in order to acquire more processing materiel to fuel its war machine. The Consortium's base was overrun by Archangel forces. Enyo and her followers were forced to retreat. Realising that Archangel had grown more dangerous and was working on a new, dangerous weapon, the Cyborg reached out to an Eldorai exodite group called the Shadow Knights. Neither side trusted the other, but they entered an alliance of convenience.
When the time came, their combined forces launched a desperate attack on Archangel's secret base. Neda and the Eisenkrieger fought on the ground and in boarding actions, battling war droids and Shards. Neda's unit knocked out Archangel's defensive systems. Kraal and Shadow Knights were deployed alongside them. A psychic weapon deployed by Archangel, based on Contingency designs, affected the minds of a number of them, turning them catatonic. However, eventually the unlikely alliance was able to prevail. With Moira Skaldi dead, Enyo took control of Archangel. She put an end to its genocidal schemes, though by and large the business model remained unchanged. She did not want to wipe out all organic life, but at the same time felt little empathy for most organics outside of her family. The Typhos Clone Family was born, taking the reins of power. Neda was rewarded for her loyalty by being placed in command of the Eisenkrieger.
