​Biography

Along with representitives Franklin Klein and Marylynn Renson, Struna came to worry about the stability of the Republic and the increased millitary spending of the senate. She spoke out that the emergency powers that the senate granted King Adile was a threat to democracy. It was the desire of Struna and her fellows to find a peaceful diplomatic solution to the Crisis.

Destruction Of The 13th District and Formation Of A Rebellion

She along with Franklin Klein and Marylynn Renson began sewing the seeds of a full scale rebellion against the Kinkow Empire. When her intentions were found out, King Adile and his remnants destroyed the 13th District wiping out most of its citizens.

Karrissa Struna along with Franklin Klein and hundreds of 13s citizens found refuge in the underground facility created incase of such an incident was to happen. The remaining citizens declared Struna President of the 13th District and together with Klein they set out to sew the seeds of rebellion against the King Adile and his remnants. Known for their millitary expertise, the 13th District set out to building an advanced army capable of taking down the mass force of the Empire. The full arsenal comprised of nuclear weapons and advanced aircraft technology.

The Districts first full scale mission was to rescue representative  Marylynn Renson from the clutches of the capital. The mission was succesful and with all three leaders the Declaration Of 13 was signed which officially declared the rebellion in which they elected Struna the leader. For the next few months the Rebellion used propaganda influencing Kinkow citizens to join them in revolt against the oppression of the Empire. The propaganda included interupting live news broadcasts and radio channels.

Kinkow Civil War

When at full force Struna and the Rebellion arsenal began campaigns in the North and gained substantial victories over the Empire at the Battle Of Kylantha,Battle Of Newton and Battle Of Alleron gaining support from thousands of Kinkow citizens. During the Battle Of Kylantha the rebellion obliterated the Kylantha force and gained sufficient support from its citizens, this was a great turning point for Struna and the rebellion as the Empire started to recognise them as a serious threat. The Battle Of Newton saw the rebellion smash the combined force of the Amidala and Apailana armies, gaining yet more support from the citizens.

Battle Of Alleron and Declaration Of The Free Republic

The Alliance formed the Free Republic and headquartered in Alleron City, Struna took up the position as interim President untill a new one was elected. The remaining imperial remnants retreated to Theed were they tried to regain power, however no more than 2 weeks later the Free Republic sieged Theed and destroyed most of the Empires force, all remaining imperial remnants fled to Tolworth to aid the Tolens in their campaign to gain independence. The Free Republic reinstated their seat to Theed and Struna took up residence in the Executive Mansion.

The Republic abolished the great house system and put in place the constitution and when the war with the empire finally came to an end, the Republic and the Tolens signed the Treaty Of Alleron by which President Struna was the signee for the Republic.
