Roka hails from Tyre, a planet sequestered in a dangerous nebula which makes astrogation difficult if not outright impossible in many cases. This caused Tyre and the other systems of the nebula to develop independently of the wider galaxy for a very long time. The Tyrians hadn't had any outside contact for centuries until Jedi Master Rammon Daal and his young daughter, Imra, along with their starship full of force-sensitive children Daal and his wife had adopted, found their way through the nebula while fleeing the Empire's Inquisition.

The Jedi soon found a home on Tyre, where they were quickly accepted by the Tyrian royal family and by the Force-worshiping acolytes of the temple. Master Daal began training force-sensitives of the nebula in the ways of the Jedi, starting with acolytes and the children, and later expanding to the people of Tyre and, eventually, a few recruits from other systems in the nebula.

Early in the Jedi's stay on Tyre, Master Daal came across Roka, an orphan child living in the Tyrian capital city. She was taken in by Master Daal, and raised alongside Imra and the other force sensitive children as their sister. Like them, she was trained in the ways of the Jedi from an early age, but use of the Force never came naturally to her, and her frustrations led to her leaving the temple and joining the Tyrian Armada, ostensibly a military, but mostly an exploratory force. When she left, her father gave her one of his lightsabers to use for protection, as a memento, and in the hopes that she would continue her training. Roka didn't speak to any of her family after leaving the temple; something she would soon come to deeply regret.

Not long after Roka joined the Armada, the Empire found their way through the nebula, guided by Master Daal's wife and son, who had not died as assumed, but had been recruited by the inquisitorius and now served the Empire as Inquisitors. A war ensued, during which Tyre was lost, and most of Roka's family was killed. Roka's lightsaber was detroyed, but she keeps the crystal as a memento of her father.

The Tyrian Armada was mostly destroyed; Roka herself, despite only being a lieutenant, was put in command of a refugee vessel which managed to escape. Thanks to Eldara Dyr, Master Daal's wife and Imra's mother, who had been turned away from the Dark Side and the Empire, they were able to navigate through the nebula, the systems within now conquered by the Empire (the Tyrian system itself having already begun being stripped of Kyber crystals for the construction of the Death Star), and into the wider, unknown galaxy.

Not long after escaping, the surviving Tyrians and other denizens of the nebula joined up with the Rebellion, eager to fight back against the tyranny of the Empire. Eldara and Imra left to travel alone, executing dangerous rebel missions requiring Jedi talents but slightly more flexible moralities, but keep in contact and sometimes return to bases where they are warmly received by Roka and her few surviving siblings.

Now, Roka is a commander in the rebel navy, serving as an executive officer (second officer) aboard the light cruiser Parhelion. Her duties are generally to represent the captain of the ship in various scenarios; she also usually has command of the second watch-group aboard the ship.

Subordinates - Roka's first goal in any engagement is to get as many of her subordinates out alive as possible.

Peace & Justice - Roka wants to destroy the Empire to end its reign of tyrrany and usher in a new age of peace & justice. She wants an end to oppression and war, and to the violent colonialism that took her home and most of her family.

Space Superiority - Roka believes that her skills as a naval officer are how she can best serve the Rebellion, and that the Alliance must amass a more suitable naval force if they wish to defeat the Empire.

Roka is average height, with a fit build, the result of childhood training continued into adulthood. Her skin is a pale golden color, and her hair is coppery red and falls across her shoulders in curls when it's not tied up in a tight, professional bun. Her eyes are violet, and her ears and teeth alike are slightly pointed.

She's very straightlaced and professional most of the time, but every now and then she shows off a more childish side, especially when she's around her sister, Imra. She can be surprisingly impatient, and is the type to get frustrated when something doesn't work right on the first try. She is inquisitive, and stubborn, and very loyal. She dislikes dishonesty, though somewhat hypocritically will not hesitate to lie to or trick an adversary. She loves her family.

Roka is Tyrian, and so has a much longer lifespan than most humans. She is already older than most others in her development group; despite being of a slightly younger life stage compared to her sister, Imra, Roka is actually a few years older than her.
