Inspired by Viquina's rather unorthodox wedding, Novon and Elara finally decided to get married as well. After small ceremony with the entire Zoiji family in attendance and a short honeymoon came a young daughter: Ixandriel (Eex-ann-dree-el). In the Forgotten Tongue, this meant "Veiled Lady". She had great potential in the Force, as befitted those of her lineage. However her early years were not the happiest. When Ixandriel was only ten, revolutionaries calling themselves the "Inheritors" attacked the house where she was spending time with the rest of the Zoiji. First there was a loud crash at the door followed by frenzied cries. Korgo flashed his lightsaber and told her to run. Kurumo and the others barred the door, but it did not hold for long. The revolutionaries burst in guns blazing, but their war cry was drowned out by earth, lightning, fire and blood. Just as Novon his wife and daughter cleared the room a shard of shrapnel darted out and slashed her across the face. Ixandriel screamed as blood streamed onto the floor. The three got away safely, but discovered Korgo had been captured while buying the others time to regroup. Ixandriel never quite forgot this act of loyalty and drilled herself for years in order to repay it. Her eyeless sockets were quickly replaced with state of the art cybernetics, ones that flashed bright red. Between her parents and other relatives, she mastered every blaster recorded with incredible speed. Now a full grown woman, she embarked on a solo journey to rescue her uncle. Despite the Inheritor's belief that their base was untraceable, Zoiji spies found it on the edge of the Maw Nebula within three days. The soldiers laughed at the threat she posed but Ixandriel said,
"Even the void of space can't hide you from me."
One by one, she killed the traitors until reaching Korgo's cell. The door slid open to reveal a large man with muscle and sinew coursing all over his body. His hair was no longer the pitch black she remembered, now it was streaked with salt and pepper coloring. The fists were bound as well but he was soon free. While the Inheritors were by no means decimated, this rescue gave Ixandriel an early place in history...

By the time Circeia returned to the Confederacy, a tournament was in full swing. Upon further investigation, she realized her cousin Viquina had arranged the event to choose a proper groom. The entire population bore witness, as it was all broadcast over the HoloNet. Powerful individuals the galaxy over would fight for her hand in marriage. Out of seventy-five candidates, only a select few had survived the melee. The first was Symon Cedrax, brother to eccentric scientist Tharan Cedrax, the second a Force-sentsitive Kaleesh warlord known as Zoken, with Captain Moran, and smuggler Kim J'yur as the final two. The only rule was to not strike a killing blow, as the survivors had skills and connections that were vital to the Confederacy. With a wave of Viquina's hand, the fight began. After several hours and the most intense spectacle the Confederacy had ever seen, Warlord Zoken emerged the victor. Lord Korgo, Viquina's father came to congratulate the Kaleesh and deliver this warning,
'If you break her heart, I'll break your neck."
Unflinching and with fire in his eyes, Zoken answered,
"Never, Forcebane. I will follow her throughout eternity."
Smiling, the hulking man said,
"Good, because that's how long you'll be married to her."
The next day a lavish ceremony followed with banquets so grandiose the people in attendance could barely believe their eyes...

Shortly after Nitro's defeat, Circeia Zoiji ventured into the Unknown Regions. There her gunship crash-landed on the planet Lehon. After days of searching, Circeia discovered an ancient artifact: the Chrysalis. Left behind by the Infinite Empire centuries ago, it had the capability to endow whoever entered with near infinite power. Several droids, each more potent than the last appeared to face her. As the sun set over Lehon, Circeia reached the center of the Chrysalis. As promised, she gained great power in both combat and visions but at a great price. Her crimson eyes faded into nothing and her body shifted and contorted. In exchange she would forsake the Sith species forever. Now resembling a Miralukan, she created a new starship Seeress's Whisper and returned to the Zoiji Confederacy and her family. Her new insight foretold nine traitors in their midst, from the Confederate Knights...
