Description: Admiral Daala, Olive Officer Uniform
Prefix: ID
Detachment: Imperial Officer Corps
Context: Star Wars Expanded Universe

Daala is an aggressive commander. Considered to be remarkably charismatic, she can also be ruthless. Although often prone to great fury, Daala feels that outbursts of one's anger are unprofessional, and restrains herself to serve as an example to her crewmen. Despite the carefully calculated facade used to inspire loyalty in her crew, Daala does have a soft side, which she displays very rarely to those she leads or fights against.

Special Notes:
