UPP 61599C
Career Synopsis: Imperial Navy Academy (Rhylanor), Naval Officer (2 terms), Diplomat (6 terms)
Personal Synopsis: Although somewhat frail and arthritic, Cayelyn is widely respected for her iron will, cunning and ruthlessness. Known for her devotion to the Third Imperium and her anti-“Mora Foremost” position, she is also an accomplished fencer. Her ancestry is mostly Solomani, some Sword Worlds and Vilani. The Capon branch of the family migrated from Tenalphi in the early 500s.
Major Assets (non-fief): Yacht, TAS Membership; Ship Shares; Naval Officer’s Cutlass (very high quality); family holdings and investments
Born 1053, Capon
1072-1075: Naval Academy
In 1072, Cayelyn entered the Imperial Naval Academy on Rhylanor. Active, but somewhat clumsy, she chose to participate in the gymnastics club to try to become less physically awkward. She excelled in the handling or small craft and gunnery, seeming destined to become a fighter pilot. In 1074 there was a minor panic when a system error instituted an immediate draft call-up of all cadets. The error was corrected, and Cayelyn graduated with honours in 1075, commissioned as an Ensign. In 1074, her uncle the Marquis Capon died without issue; as the eldest of his nieces and nephews, and the designated heir, the title passed to Cayelyn.
1076-1083: Imperial Navy
In her first term, assigned to the Line rather than her preferred Flight, she joined a gambling circle, and incurred debts which resulted in her not being promoted. Realising that a transfer to Flight might keep her out of trouble, she was transferred to a fighter squadron in 1080, seeing service in the 4th Frontier War. During fighting in the Vilis subsector, her fighter was crippled and Cayelyn suffered severe, career-ending injuries.
1084-1107 Imperial Diplomatic Corps
1084-1087 After months of treatment, partially paid for by the Navy, she was fully recovered but with some residual burn scarring on the left side of her face and neck. With her naval career brought to an early end, she assumed her duties as a noble, joining the diplomatic corps in 1084. Cayelyn flourished in this new career and was soon promoted. In 1086, she became romantically involved with a Naval attaché at the embassy.
1088-1091 In 1089 she became politically active, opposed to the constant withdrawal of naval assets from Lunion subsector to protect Mora, when Lunion had suffered heavy damage to bases and planets when Mora had suffered no serious damage at all. This brought her into conflict with the Marquis Duale (then a serving naval officer and ally of the Duke of Lunion, the Duchess of Mora’s cousin). Despite this, Cayelyn’s diplomatic work was recognised and she was promoted again. Her relationship with the naval attaché fizzled out, but they remain very good friends to this day (he is now a Vice Admiral in the 43rd Fleet) and have a daughter and son (twins, born 1090) who are being raised on Capon. During the romance, she became a well-regarded hostess.
1092-1095 This term saw yet another promotion, but also a setback. In 1094 one of her younger cousins, now of age, challenged her to a duel for the title (a family tradition resulting from Sword Worlds ancestry). Younger and more agile, he inflicted a severe injury to Cayelyn and assumed the Marquisate. Her close family covered most of her medical expenses.
1096-1099 Diplomatic duties this term saw Cayelyn dealing with rougher elements in District 268. The loss of her title in a duel wasn’t well looked on, meaning that she was not promoted this time.
1100-1103 Having undertaken a course of additional fencing training in what little spare time her work allowed, Cayelyn challenged her cousin to regain the title. This time age, cunning and skill saw her cousin defeated and almost killed. He is now virtually a cripple as his close family were unable to pay for medical care beyond that needed to keep him alive. Her marquisate restored, Cayelyn also saw a return to advancement, being promoted to Counsellor.
1104-1107 This term saw a major diplomatic coup for Cayelyn. Ever since the X-boat network had been established, the Third Imperium had been seeking a treaty with the Sword Worlds guaranteeing that the stations at Biter, Caladbolg and Flammarion would not be attacked or destroyed in the event of war. All previous efforts had failed, but this time the Sword Worlds had met their nemesis in negotiations. Through sheer force of her personality (helped by the respect they had for her visible war and duelling scars) they signed the treaty in 1106. This was greeted with much acclaim and Cayelyn was promoted to Minister. She received a TAS membership and also some generous gifts from various corporate interests, which helped to pay down some of the mortgage on her personal yacht.
Now frailer than she would like and having spent so much of her life away from her children, she decided to retire to her estates on Capon to spend time with them before they go to university or military academy. During the negotiations with the Sword Worlds, she was very aware of tensions and undercurrents; it was clear to her that war is on the way, but her reports were dismissed as being unlikely in the foreseeable future.
