Aerinics is wearing a white tanktop, black gloves, and beige coveralls. Trin is wearing a beige flight suit and orange vest and a helmet. end image]
Okay, so finally hammering more about Aereinys’s parents (Besides “They died before the start of the game”)
Aereinys mom: Vaer'rini'csapla (Aerinics)
Aereiny’s dad: Shiat'ri'nuruodo (Trin)
Aereinys gets her name from a modified version of her mom’s core name + her dad’s core name. Her name is in the imperial naming system, because her parents died very shortly after she was born and she was raised in an imperial orphanage/state school dedicated to turning out “productive members of society” (aka soldiers/canon fodder).
Aereinys’s parents were hard to develop because a) they had to be dead very shortly after her birth and b) they had to do something to get themselves exiled from Chiss space, but not against the empire because they have to wind up in Imperial space. So I was stuck there for a while.
Trin was a pilot for clan Nuruodo, but he didn’t see a lot of combat (Nuruodo is the military clan according to my wiki stuff). He mostly moved things. And he often helped his clan move blackmailable material against the other clans discretely
Aerinics, Aereinys’s mom, was a mechanic who worked in clan Csapla. She often wound up repairing and maintenancing civilian crafts. Again she was mostly a civilian and did not see much combat.
Now for the part that @arcann helped me with tysm!!! (The suggestions on how they got exiled)
Her dad was  used by his house to ferry some blackmailable secrets between two locations. One one such trip, he was ambushed and lost them. A “true chiss” would have owned up to the mistake, or better yet, never lost his mission in the first place, but he didn’t. He confided in Aerinics who tried to help him cover up his failure, but they both got caught and exiled. They fled to Dromund Kaas, the capital planet of the Empire, because they thought it would be more familiar than the republic due to the Chiss’s allegiance with the empire.
okay back to my stuff so no one blames you for the angst that is about to follow
anyway Aerinics and Trin were mostly chilling in the empire, missing Csilla and not really liking the empire but hey they couldn’t go back. They each wound up working in the Imperial military, now her dad was seeing combat and her mom was maintenancing starships for imperial soldiers.
I’m thinking her dad was sent into a combat situation in his ship that looked impossible to win, but he did it anyway because a) he was being commanded by a sith, so if he refused he would have died no matter what, and b) good chiss follow orders, and even though he got kicked out he still regards himself as a good chiss. Aerinics goes off on the sith who got her husband killed with his poor strategy and the sith reacts by using a sith sorcery poison move on her in the force. She’s taken to the hospital and Aereinys (the baby she’s pregnant with) is saved but she isn’t.
The whole thing is kind of angsty and depressing, but they did need to start the plot dead, since I created her before I knew chiss were in their own little zone, so a lot of her backstory came with her initially having been raised like an imperial citizen (That’s also the initial reason she had the first name last name naming scheme, rather than the chiss naming scheme. I just didn’t know it existed, then instead of re-doing my tags for her I was just like “eh, i’ll make up a justification”)
I feel like this also works as a parallel to some Aereinys stuff, because she gets the scars on her face from getting force-lightninged by a sith after she tells him he’s making dumb decisions and going to get a bunch of imperial soldiers killed. If she put together what happened to her parents (There’s no way anyone would tell her that a sith fuckup and sith cruelty got them killed), she might have thought she had a chance to prevent what happened to her dad from happening to someone else. The encounter obviously leaves a poor taste in her mouth and leads to her deciding sith are mostly irrational and should stay out of imperial business. The full on hatred for the empire develops later, after she is betrayed by people she felt should have been trustwrothy.
