Character Bio:
Born to Decimus Calpurnius Nerva and Pomponia Caecilia, she was the younger of the two children. Both Celeste and her four years older brother Caius were very close as children and shared mutual interests and hobbies which almost always involved helping others in some way, shape or form. They entered Leonan military training at age 14, having spent 2 years prior to that in a preparatory academy for young cadets.

Caius opted for the route of a professional heavy infantryman - whereas Celeste opted to learn the ways of a field medic. When the Rakata invaded the Albion Cluster in 5 BBY, the siblings were sent to fight with their legion, tasked with stopping the enemy from advancing on Alliance territory. It was during one of those Rakata advances that Caius was killed by a Rakata warrior, the heavy blow of the enemy's blade splitting him diagonally from shoulder to hip. Seeing her brother fall, Celeste rushed at the attacker, but it was too late. She managed to drive her blade into the Rakata warrior's neck, severing a jugular vein before her cohorts arrived and decimated the remaining Rakata, leaving no survivors.

Celeste protected the body of her brother by laying over both pieces after having covered them by her woolen cloak. She did not realize that she herself was wounded in the side, and slowly bleeding out. Luckily, she was taken off the field of battle by her fellow legionaries just before passing out. The attending medicus managed to save her from the nearly lethal wound she had sustained. Given the psychological trauma sustained having witnessed the gruesome death of her brother, and the physical rest required for full recovery, Celeste was placed on temporary medical leave.

Unable to face her parents after the loss of her brother, she took off for Albion Prime. Being young and unknown helped Celeste to blend in and disappear for a while, silently tormented by visions of Caius urging her not to give up and to keep up the good fight. Driven by her unwaning desire to help those in need, she eventually came across the notorious Gang known as the Spike Skulls - and their child slavery ring. Being young enough herself and capable of looking after others, Celeste allowed herself to be captured while offering her services as a nurse and proving her medical training.

This allowed her to keep an eye on the children, making sure that none of them came to any real harm - whether by the heavy hand of their captors - or by the insidious tendrils of disease, which could easily flare up given their unsanitary living conditions.

When the Enduring Hope task force swept one of the warehouses infested and ran by the Spike Skulls', Celeste was finally freed but at her own request remained with her saviors on board the Orion where she lent her services as a capable medic until her Legion contacted her again, in 3 BBY. Her new orders were to become a liaison between the Enduring Hope task force and the Leonan high command. This directive was received with mixed feelings, as Celeste would have preferred a more 'hands on' assignment in the field - but her orders were clear, at least for now - she would act as a go-between the Leonans and the EH task force until her superiors deemed her fit to resume whatever other duty, they saw her fit for.
