Elara Dorne

Elara Dorne was a Republic Commando and member of Havoc Squad active during the galactic Cold War era. She was a highly-principled combat medic who formerly served in the military of the Sith Empire.

Biography
Elara was born to a highly prestigious Imperial family and rose quickly through the military ranks, after serving for two years. However, in 3,645&mdash;3,644 BBY, she defected from the Empire because of moral differences with the Imperial command, how they would sacrifice honor and discipline when a Sith asked for it. She noticed "numerous inefficiencies" in her unit's patrol route and took the opportunity of them to escape. While she put off an air of stoic militarism, Elara joined the Galactic Republic and became stationed on Taris. However, despite her change of allegiance, Captain Kalor of Personnel Division was convinced that Elara was purposely withholding information.

In 3,643 BBY, during the Cold War, Elara was the only soldier to be willing to assist Havoc Squad in their classified mission to hunt down defected Republic traitors whereas Colonel Gaff wouldn't. During the search, Havoc ran into Colonel Thorus, an Imperial officer Elara was familiar with, responsible for mass murders in defiance of direct orders from Imperial High Command. Once Thorus gave the information Havoc needed, Elara advised executing him to prevent him from committing any more atrocities. Once Havoc completed their mission, General Garza recognized Elara's initiative and had her transferred to Havoc Squad. With her CO backing her up, Elara made it clear to Kalor that Havoc Squad's activities are top secret.

Elara soon received a call for help from her brother Aleksei, whose squad was disavowed by the Empire on Nar Shaddaa. She was able to help her brother and convinced him to defect to the Republic. But Kalor was still suspicious of her and pushed forth with his pointless investigation. Eventually, when he managed to form an inquiry, Elara was able to prove to Personnel Division what a waste of credits Kalor's persecution of her was. Thus, she was no longer declared a "person of interest" and was formally recognized as a citizen of the Republic.

Personality and traits
Elara was very kind and compassionate, serving in the military primarily as a way of helping others in need. And she always complied 'by-the-book'.

Behind The Scenes
Elara Dorne is confirmed as a companion for the Trooper class in Star Wars: The Old Republic. She is a romance option for the Trooper class, resulting in the eventual possibility that the Trooper can propose marriage. They would sign Form 3578 K, which allows military personnel to begin a romantic relationship. After the Trooper propose to Dorne, the medic officer will wonder if General Garza would be the minister, due to her "authoritative speaking voice."
