Marina Stele held the position of wife to Kerek Stele and was also the mother of Maarek Stele.
The renowned scientist who was Marina Stele's husband was taken by the Bordali during their conflict with Kuan. Their intention was to force him to work for them. When he refused to cooperate, they made the decision to kidnap his family as well, hoping to change his mind. Marina and Maarek resisted their captors, but ultimately they were both seized and put on a shuttle for transportation to Bordal.
While the ship was in transit, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer named Vengeance seized the vessel. The Vengeance was involved in the Empire's assault on the Taroon system. Following a period of captivity on the Vengeance, Maarek consented to serve on the ship, whereas Marina went back to Kuan to assist with the shift to Imperial rule and persist in the quest to find her husband.
