Aora Nomirc is one of the most easily recognized figures in the Galactic Republic. She is most notably known for her strong allegiance to the Republic and her conservative views on how to run a war. There has been tremendous controversy as there have been recent rumors about her serving with the Galactic Empire, then defecting after causing the destruction of two republic transports during the Battle of Hoth. She was recently promoted to the Commanding Officer of the flagship of the Galactic Republic, the ISD Dauntless.
