| - She was born on Naboo, in the Feldon Peninsula, for which her mother's family has ruled over this area under the Naboo Royal Council's guidance for several centuries. Decades before her birth, her mother Tessa washed out of the Jedi Youngling program at 12, having no master available to teach her. Tessa returned to Naboo and gradually took after her mother's responsibilities. The short of the story is simply that Tessa fell in love with a visiting Echani dignitary. It is unknown if he was a Jedi, but Della was born far more talented in the Force than her mother. She also was never told who her father was, even though he was the man that would teach her every form of combat of the Echani people. This man also raised her half brother Barak along side her. The two kids spent much time training with each other and became best friends, understanding each other on levels no other people could understand. In secret, her mother groomed her in rudimentary Force control, teaching Della what little she studied of all of the various lightsaber forms of the Old Republic. Since Della was built as a pilot, her fighting ability was groomed for her to be defensive and only offensive once her opponents were worn down. A conservative and old form of Jedi fighting strategy rarely seen in the new order. If she wasn't training for combat, her mother was training her for the political arena, learning to observe and act as little as possible, in order not to show your political rivals their hand. Her mother, not having her name on any list of Jedi, survive Order 66 and made sure to pass on her political knowledge as well as her Force knowledge to Della. Age 12, Della began to take an interest in flying and fixing things, so much of her Force training suffered, though her mother did not see a problem with it. She wanted Della to be well-rounded and someone that didn't smother, if ever the Force was of no use to her or taken from her by people with Force-dampening creatures. Age 15, Della schooled in the Nubian Technological Institute and earned her engineering degrees. Only because of all the flight hours in simulators, did she get granted an officer's commission in the Royal Naboo Security Force shortly after her graduation.
