Template:UnderConstruction Vali Trini'qar (Spitfire) is a former military officer who was a fighter ace during the Hapan civil war and reached the rank Grand Marshall of the Draconian Union's Fighter Corps. She reformed the way starfighters were used in space combat in the Hapes Cluster and was also known for destroying the former flagship of the Royal Family, the Star Home.

Vali Trini'qar was born on Anarbold in the Mathonore system in 3947 and was the first and only child of Baroness Vanie Trini'qar.

It was here that Trini'qar's talent as a fighter pilot caught the attention of the Draconian admiralty. Despite massive losses, the young noble managed to kill 11 enemy fighters in the skirmish.
