Biography

Lyysa Jurndaal was a member of the Talokian race of the planet Talok III. She was the lover of Mikaal Tomas. Lyysa was openly opposed to the actions of the Mind-Council and their plans for the citizens of Earth. The Talokian leader known as Komak intended on enslaving humanity, and Lyysa and Mikaal argued at length over the ethics of the situation.

Ultimately, she decided to steal a shuttlecraft with the intent of journeying to Earth to warn them of her people. Even were she to fail, she believed that it would be better than living as a monster. As she attempted to escape, an armed guard took note of her, and fired a laser weapon that killed her instantly.
