Moira Valentian

The template for Talben Foelin's clone army, Moira Valentian is a highly decorated warhero and veteran of the Hapes Consortium. After graduating from a prestigious officer academy on Hapes, she was assigned the rank of first lieutenant in the Hapan Royal Marines. During the Second Galactic Civil War, she would rise to the rank of colonel before ultimately retiring to manage the training of her clones.

Early Life
Moira Valentian was born in 9 ABY as a commoner in Hapan society. She however was smart enough in school to receive scholarship offers from various branches of the Hapan military. Moira optted to enter the marines and thus began attending one of Hapes's most prestigious marine officer academies. Young Moira performed well, graduating with the rank of Lieutenant in 29 ABY. By 41 ABY, Valentian had rose to the rank of Colonel and was actively leading Hapan efforts in the war against Caedus. It was during this same time that Talben Foelin had begun his planning to create a clone army and he personally sought out Valentian to become his prime clone. Moira accepted and with the approval of the Queen Mother, the Hapan Clone Army was created.

Though the Second Galactic Civil War ended long before both Foelin and the Queen Mother had originally anticipated, Valentian chose to retire from the Royal Marines to personally oversee the training of her clones. Foelin thus presented her with the title of "Chief Instructor" which she bore as her title from late 41 ABY to 51 ABY, a total of ten years. She would eventually turn over the title of Chief Instructor to Vinne Nalle after Commander MVA-0727 "Ashley" was discovered to be defective. Foelin had originally wished for a clone officer to rank as second-in-command over the armed forces so that Valentian could continually train new cadets at Fort Kelivok, but it became evident that the stress was too much for any clone to take at that time. It was for this reason that Foelin promoted Valentian to full Commander of the Armed Forces and effectively the new second-in-command.
