Her mother, [[Galina Stepanova]], was raped by a [[Clans|Clanner]]. Left pregnant, Galina rushed to legitimize her child, quickly marrying a landowner in Ventrale.<ref name=TRoPc4/><ref name=TRoPc20>''The Ruins of Power'', ch. 20</ref> Publicly, Elora was the legitimate daughter of both nobles. In private, she knew the truth - her mother spent years describing the rapist in great detail, building rage and resentment.<ref name=TRoPc20/>+ With the collapse of the [[HPG]] network, [[Marta Kinsolving]] tried to alleviate the issue of high unemployment on the planet, she proposed a plan to not only get more people working, but also to create a version of the HPG network but only for the planet. That way information anywhere on the planet, as well as communications, can be instantaneous. The project is called Span-net, and the only one who is not enthralled with this plan was [[Elora Rimonova]], who would lose her control over information if anyone can get it when they want it.<ref>''The Ruins of Power'' pp. 110-115</ref> − In adulthood, Elora worked her way up in society, rising to the post of Mirach's [[Minister of Information]], a powerful position in charge of the planet's government-run media. Years of manipulation and double-dealing to rise the ranks paid off in power, but left her despised within her ministry.<ref name=TRoPc20/>+ Elora was manipulating the planet's Legate and intended to use the planet's revolt to give it to [[Kal Radick]] and his [[Steel Wolves]]. The coup failed and she was captured.<ref>''The Ruins of Power'' pp. 288-291</ref> − Then came the [[Blackout]]. The collapse of the [[HPG]] network in [[3132]] battered Mirach's economy and launched the [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic]] into armed conflict. Prefect [[Kal Radick]] went rogue, leading a breakaway Clan faction, the [[Steel Wolves]] - and Elora saw opportunity. She decided to claim what she saw as her Clan bloodright and earn recognition, resolving to seize control of Mirach and hand it over to Radick herself.<ref name=TRoPc4/><ref name=TRoPc20/>+ == References == − − Elora tilted official media against Governor [[Sergio Ortega]], agitating against the government and encouraging riots. At the same time, she built up influence over Legate [[Calvilena Tortorelli]], commander of Mirach's main militia, manipulating him against Sergio as well. An assassin was tasked with eliminating threats to Elora, including reporter [[Hanna Leong]] and the governor's sons [[Dale Ortega|Dale]] and [[Austin Ortega|Austin]]; Hanna and Dale were killed, while Austin escaped multiple attempts on his life. Persuading Sergio to merge his personal [[1st Cossack Lancers|First Cossack Lancers]] into the main [[Mirach Home Guard]] seemed to eliminate one of the largest threats to her plan.<ref>''The Ruins of Power'', ch. 2-20</ref> − − On 3 May 3133, Elora and Calvilena finally launched [[Mirach Coup Attempt (3133)|their military coup]]. <ref>''The Ruins of Power'', ch. 22-39</ref> The coup collapsed by 12 May, the Home Guard's weak loyalty to Tortorelli undermined by Ortega-loyal Lancers scattered throughout and their force met with a strong defense. The loyal [[Mirach Business Association]] and the scattered Lancers held the Home Guard off until the attackers' morale collapsed.<ref>''The Ruins of Power'', ch. 22-39</ref> In the aftermath, Sergio stripped Elora of her post and exiled her to Mirach's moon Kuton and, while allowing Tortorelli to remain as legate on paper, assigned loyalist [[Manfred Leclerc]] to oversee the legate and take over his work.<ref name=TRoPc39/> − − ==Physical Appearance== − As of 3133, Elora was a tall and deeply slender woman with emerald eyes, a hawklike nose, thin lips, and alabaster-pale skin.
