- "As long as you do everything you can to bring our soldiers back, I'll do everything I can to heal them back up."
- — Valira Prola
Valira Prola came from a prestigious aristocratic family on Kuat and joined the Imperial Surgical Corps to help save lives and hopefully make a positive difference in the galaxy. She was eventually assigned to the Dark Star and served as the ship's chief medical officer for most of the Galactic Civil War and a few of the conflicts beyond it. Due to her exemplarily service she soon received numerous offers for more prestigious positions elsewhere, but Valira preferred to remain with the Dark Star mainly because of her respect for its longtime commander: Dolomar Daktren.
She saw in Daktren an officer who believed in the strength and order of the Galactic Empire, but who also treated his crew and even his enemies fairly. Valira's own dedication and professionalism soon caught Dolomar's eye and the two entered into a long-term relationship. Neither of them were prepared for a serious commitment due to how unpredictable war could be, but they remained dedicated to each other whenever they could find time to be together.
Their relationship eventually resulted in a child, Damir, but the pair didn't end up marrying each other until Dolomar retired from service. Valira retired from service at the same time as her husband so that they could spend time together in the private sector. Dolomar took over his family's business and Valira started a private practice.
