Born some thirty-five years before the Great Hyperspace War into a prominent Nightsister Clan, Beatrix was the daughter of Clan Mother Ephemera. Being the society that they were her father was immediately and ceremoniously killed upon the successful birth of his daughter. She never knew anything about him. Men were sort of a rarity amongst the Nightsister clans of Dathomir and to prevent inbreeding they were often disposed of. From a very early age Ephemera instilled focus and wisdom into her daughter. She was read passages from the Book of Shadows every night before bed. Trixie was an energetic child; always getting into trouble over her head with the native Rancor population.  It wasn’t until her 12th birthday that her life took a rather wicked turn. The surrounding clans felt that Ephemera, Trixie’s mother, held too much power. Her clan had been the oldest, but everyone felt that she had become too complacent in her dark side teachings. Clan Mother Ephemera often restricted use on the more severe dark magick teachings. Several of Beatrix’s closest friends were captured and converted to be used as spies. On the night of Trixie’s 12th birthday they were to lead her into the valley for a surprise. The rival clan had mobilized their sisters for combat and when Trixie arrived with her friends she was confronted with a choice; join them or suffer for her indiscretions. Having been trained from a young age Beatrix was able to fend off her attacking friends. Impaling her childhood companions the red-headed pre-teen fled back to her mother with only minor injuries. Unfortunately the rival clan and its Nightsister force were right on her heels. Trixie’s clan grounds were put into high alert as every warrior was roused from their bed. It was futile.

Three rival armies ambushed Clan Andromeda in the middle of the night. A great battle ensued and Clan Mother Ephemera was taken hostage. Beatrix’s tribe was subdued before her; she was forced to watch while the enemy clan warriors mutilated and executed each of her fellow sisters. The final straw was when they lit the fire underneath her mother’s feet. Her screams of pain and the words of love broke loose the latent dark side power within the 12 year old Beatrix. Strengthened by her newly awakened power she took hold of her captor and liquefied the warriors very body, stealing her life essence. Taking up the sword Trixie freed who she could and began the slow and violent process of retaking her home. She slew every member of the rival clan she could find and burned the bodies. The very next day she was inducted into the Warrrior Sect of her village whose members were now dangerously low. A close friend of her mother trained Trixie in the history and  complex combat  styles of the Nightsister Warriors before her. A regent was elected in place of Ephemera and the decision to migrate to Protectorate Ferril’s clan about four hundred miles away was made. Ferril was her mother’s sister and while Ephemera may have been head of the strongest clan, Ferril was head of the most skilled warriors on the planet. It took a year for Beatrix and her clan members to reach the refuge of her Aunt's home. Many of her fellow Nightsisters succumbed to hungry Rancor, hunger, and sickness. Their arrival came as a complete shock to Ferril who welcomed them with open arms. With tears in her eyes Trixie told her Aunt everything, who immediately inducted her into the clan and it’s Warrior Sect. From that point and for the next seven years Beatrix Zulenka served as Lead Scout for her Aunt, accumulating a wealth of combat expertise and knowledge.

Four months after her 20th birthday an Imperial Intelligence pod crashed down upon Dathomir near where Trixie was stationed. A single man stumbled out of the pod and directly into the pointed end of a durasteel polearm. Colonel Felix Astrada instantly became smitten with the mysterious cloaked woman threatening to kill him. Over the next couple of months he would earn her trust and eventually they would become lovers of passion. He shared stories of war, conquest, and of the world beyond Dathomir with her. The day the recovery vessel came for the Colonel he offered her a chance for some real combat. She accepted, interested in his tales of space and the Sith. After one final night together she was dumped into Imperial Boot Camp aboard the Super Star Destroyer Vergo. She was assigned to Able Company of the 15th Infantry Division.  The training was intense, but nothing she wasn’t ready for. Daily physical and mental training conditioned her and every soldier assigned to Able Company into a well sharpened spear for the Sith Empire to throw at its enemies. Trixie’s training was supposed to end after three years, but Able Company was flagged for Special Forces Reconditioning and they were put through the most grueling two years of their lives. They were taught every intricate detail about combat, war, torture, anatomy, history, strategy, and Sith Culture. At the age of 25 and now in perfect physical condition Beatrix Zulenka graduated with the entirety of Able Company from the Special Forces training complex on Dromund Kaas. They rejoined the 15th Infantry Division on the Vergo just in time for their first mission. 

Bestowed with the rank of Sergeant she was deployed with her team to Ziost to clear out the populace and quell any resistance for further Sith expansion. Time and time again Sergeant Zulenka and her fellow 15th proved themselves capable at whatever task they were thrown at. Able Company was always ahead of the curve and coming out ahead against all odds. Trixie was absolutely ruthless in combat. She spared no one. Targets who were marked for torture were brutally beaten and vivisected. Her fellow soldiers dubbed her “No Mercy” for what she did to one enemy combatant during a routine patrol mission after he managed to kill one of her squad mates from Able. They were picking up the pieces and scrubbing blood out of their gear for days. Able Company continued to be the most effective combat unit available. High Command attributed that to the fact that so many of the original members were still alive;  that a sense of trust had been created. Each person knew they had a capable person next to them to get the job done removing any doubt in each soldier's mind. Shortly after a space jump onto a lost rebel vessel in which Trixie and her unit managed to eliminate everyone on board and escape before detonation, she was promoted to Master Sergeant. With every passing fight her dark side aura grew in strength and ferocity.

In the months following her 30th birthday and after having been in the field for a solid five years, bouncing from assignment to assignment, Trixie’s force connection drew the attention of a Sith Lord at High Command. Sith Lord Aquarius enrolled his new apprentice in the Sith Academy on Korriban and shipped her off to turn her raw military prowess into a finely tuned warrior. Over the next five years she would spend her time dueling, training, reading, and learning about the Sith in ways she never imagined. The academy was just as ruthless as ever. Students were forced to fight each other, kill, torture, and compete for the Headmasters favor. However when Trixie confronted and beheaded the headmaster for making advances at her, the rest of his advisors quickly tried to take his place, but them and everyone in her graduating class fell to her blade. Trixie did not have time for the petty squabbles of the weak willed. Sith Lord Aquarius was pleased with his apprentice’s performance and donned her Darth Zulenka just in time for her to turn 35. In the coming weeks the Sith Empire was mobilized into Republic space and the Great Hyperspace War had begun. Darth Zulenka was reassigned to her old unit, her previous red hair and tan skin now black and gray from the dark side corruption she had willingly accepted. She wanted more power so she led her old unit into a glorious conquest of Coruscant. She devoured the souls of her enemies, took their skulls as trophies, and slaughtered thousands of innocents to prove to her enemy that she was something to be feared. However the 15th Legion had grown complacent and with the Republic Army’s surprising strength the Empire began to lose. Their leader Naga Sadow had lost a series of key battles and was doing more withdrawing than advancing. During one of the final skirmishes of the war Trixie watched as the rest of her battalion was either killed or captured. She carved her way out; her overwhelming force power crushing bodies into dust and splattering organs.

For two years Darth Zulenka spent her time attacking anything that she saw weaker than her. She would consume their life essence and move on, further diving into madness. She was 37 when the portal opened to Omniverse. After that she was never heard from again.
