Vella lives on a ranch raising [[ovines]], next door to a ranch belonging to her brother, [[Bootes]]. | |||
In the past, Vella met a [[Colonial Warrior]] named [[Martin]], who had crash landed on Equellus. She nursed the marooned [[warrior]] back to health, after which they fell in love and were married. They had a son together, named [[Puppis]]. | |||
Soon after Puppis' birth, however, Martin was killed by [[Red-Eye]], a likewise-marooned [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] [[Centurion]]. Vella came to abhor violence and guns, which had taken her husband's life. Like the other oppressed ranchers, she unwillingly paid a monthly "tribute" to Red-Eye, who had become a pawn of [[Lacerta]], a bully and strong arm man. | |||
