Illysa Stuart also known as Illysa II and Illysa the Last was a female human from the Malica Universe, she was the 110th and last ruling monarch of the Terran Empire during its war against the Empire of the Heartless and saw their devastating power using the Heartless against the imperial forces and other galactic powers such as the United Galactic Federation. In the realisation of how powerful they have become with a united force of their enemies, Illysa II announced the end of the Terran Empire's long historical rule and dissolving the Empire into creating the United Commonwealths of Worlds with the Federation to make a united front in 85 AXC (1345 NE).
Illysa served as one of the important figures to the Commonwealth during its war against the Heartless Empire, but knowing they were powerful and sought to find allies who could support them. But at some point when she was targeted by the Empire and rivals of the defunct Terran Empire, the former queen went into stasis for nearly a century as the royals thought to protect her and unable to lose one of their greatest leaders, yet also saw her as means to find new allies and give hope for the citizens to find a new home away from war. Yet during her time in stasis, they unconvered an advance gate dating back to the Pre-Collapse era which let them to another reality, which later discovered to be the Jedi's home universe after 16x AXC (14XX NE), she remained in stasis and was rejuvenated to her full prime, either by magic or medical technology, but lost most of her memories of her older version which were stored in the data storage at the time, and was gave her a temporarily new identity for her protection: Josette Nisto under her own orders if anything happened to her and await she was of an age.
Yet, she became aware that the home galaxy of the Jedi they were nearby was in a war of its own and while establishing a sovereign stellar nation in the Firefist a satellite dwarf galaxy near the Skyriver and once more as queen of her people on a new world they settled and established the Novus Sovereignty to represent as a sovereign state of the Commonwealth. Gaining allies, she called forth for an alliance with the native races during the Combine invasion such as the Chiss Ascendancy, the Hapan and Faruun Assembly to form the Coalition of Besh for mutual cause of protection and survival against the Yuuzhan Vong, the Combine, and the Axis of Empires during the great war.
Illysa continued serving as member of the sovereignty for the time being until fully established link with the Commonwealth and was confronted by Confederacy of Independent Systems in an attempt to 'pursuade' her government and their allies to their side whilst also to gain access to their advance technology and fleets for the war, she was surprised to be rescued by Jedi Knight Jinn Skywalker who followed them outside their galaxy and exposed the traitors who conspired against her to make the Sovereignty to succeed from the Commonwealth and allow the Tof reign across the Firefist galaxy. Although at the time to realise who she was after finding out who she was and became the new queen, finding new affections for the Jedi knight and offered an alliance with the Republic in hand of marriage as her king-consort of the Novus Sovereignty.

At the age of 14, princess Illysa was present with her grandmother in the throne room over the discussion of a group of peace keepers calling themselves the Order of Ashla who have been active for 14 years in light of their aid in ending a war with the Procyon Expanse and building relationships with the United Galactic Federation in 5394 AFE (1239 NE), her grandmother spoke with them as they were not like the warriors who wield the keyblades she heard and read stories about.
Queen of the Terran Empire[]
Illysa II ascended to the throne following the long rule of Queen Catherine IV, her mother unexpectedly died when she was intend to take the throne, thus making Illsysa the newly crowned queen of the Terran Empire.
To understand her role in this peace one must understand the powers retained by the Terran Monarch. While legislative power is invested in Parliament the monarch retains executive powers and authority over foreign affairs. These powers include having chief command of the Terran Navy however since the rule of Alexander the Mad Terran Monarchs have been reluctant to personally command fleets of war. In Queen Illysa II's case approval of major naval operations, such as devotion of the majority of the Terran Navy to addressing the Ironclad Menace, are the defining aspects of her administration's role in the armed forces. As chief over foreign affairs she approved of Evar's ambassadorial fleet's entry into Terran Space for the signing of a peace treaty that would greatly diminish tension between the Terran Empire, the United Galactic Federation and the Procyon Expanse to stand against the common foe such as the Heartless Empire in 85 AXC (1345 NE), creating the United Commonwealths of Worlds.

Voyage tot he Filo Universe[]
Rejuvination[]
Illysa was put into stasis as the ships set a course through the dimensional portal without drawing the attention for eh Heartless Empire or the Combine, some ships from the commonwealth would seek out others when the fleet she was with found themselves in the Filo Universe. Unexpectedly, the dimensional travel for the first time took a lot on the ships, her stasis pod was damaged and critical, unable to lose their former queen and rejuvenated her to a child and losing her memories in the process. Finding a planet in a dwarf galaxy orbiting a larger one that the Ashla members immediately recognised as the Skyriver Galaxy.
Personality and Traits[]
Illysa was raised from a young age as a princess of the Terran Empire, yet also shown to be compassionate for her people and wanting to establish period of peace between the Empire and the Federation after the political mess made by Alexander the Mad when he was king and made war with the Procyons. She is a skilled speaker and very persuasive, while shown to be very loyal to the Empire and its traditions, she knew at a time there would be a point the future is very unpredictable and saw that the threat of the Heartless was far greater than they could handle and fear the Empire's days were waning. It was one of the many reasons she chose the decision to reorganise the remnants of the Empire into the United Commonwealth with the Federation to stand against a common threat.
She was very trusting to the keyblade wielders and also the Jedi as she saw them as peace keepers who prevented hostile conflict between the Terran Empire and the Galactic Federation, yet was also weary of the Procyons due to their expansionist nature. Although she was trained in combat to defend herself, Illysa does favour diplomacy over violence, but not afraid to take action if necessary for a good cause. Illysa was greatly admired by her citizens and subjects for her wisdom, bravery, kindness, selfess act and passionate.
