Senator Jalaen Lai Sheelal, the only daughter of Ronderu Lij Kummar and Qymaen Jai Sheelal was a young Kaleesh of fourteen. She roomed with the senator of Shili, Kiel Da. Being the first senator for the Kaleesh, she had served for six months, and in that time had progressed much in her Force capabilities, so Shaak Ti had said.

Jalaen look out over the senate before a meeting. She loved seeing all the different systems' representatives filing in.

She scanned the crowd, and froze. In another box on her level was the Huk representative. Instinct told her to duck, in case it saw her and decided to run. She reached for a rifle that wasn't there. She aimed, fired, hit the Huk, heard its scream of rage and pain as it fell, convulsing in its death throes…

"Jal, JAL! What are you doing?" A voice yelled behind her.

The real world zoomed in front of her. She noticed every senator staring in surprise, and the Huk senator bristling in anger.

"JALAEN! You yelled the term 'huk' for all the senate to hear, don't you see the Yam'rii senator?" The voice said behind her.

"Kiel, Kiel, I'm sorry," Jalaen responded. "I just acted on instinct. What did you call it?"

"Yam'rii?" Kiel said.

"Yam'rii. I can remember that," Jalaen answered.

"What was that all about?" Kiel asked when they had reached their apartment.

"I acted on instinct. On Kalee, when you saw one Huk, you killed it before it saw you." Jalaen anwered, ashamed that she had simply allowed her instinct to take over.

"After Radame translated, it seems that you were yelling death calls to the Yam'rii senator. Why do you hate them so?" Kiel asked. If this would impede on such a promising senator's career, Kiel would seek help for her friend.

"They took people I knew, friends that I had known forever. They sold them as slaves on the Invisible Market. They killed so many of us. Like they had no souls." Jalaen sat on the couch, as if remembering back to the Huk War was too much. Her gold eyes looked pained.

As if on cue, the Holonet buzzed. Radame rushed in. "Miss Jalaen, an urgent message from Kalee."
