Viera Horn's page

Viera is tall, slim and elegant. She dresses not to emphasise her looks but to downplay them. So she’s typically dressed in dark shades of green, typically layers topped with a hooded cloak that she wears up most of the time to cover her long blonde hair.

Corellia is famous for alcohol, starships and agricultural goods. One day it will be most famous for one of its sons – the true archetype of a scoundrel – but that is some ten years away.

Viera’s family were cousins of the more famous Horns but their farming interests kept them rich enough to afford the finer things in life. As a little girl, Viera abhorred the mass produced aspect of farming and spent as much time as possible tending her own little herb garden – in a spot dominated by the nearby snow-covered mountains.

Corellian Jedi (or Green Jedi as they were sometimes know), were a reclusive sect of the Jedi Order serving the Corellian sector. Known for their distinctive customs and practices, the Corellian Jedi were highly independent from the Order's central governing body, the Jedi High Council. Holding the well-being of Corellia over that of the Galactic Republic, the Corellian Jedi often butted heads with their superiors within the Order over how certain situations should be handled and where their duty lay.

So when Viera was identified as force sensitive (she had Halcyon blood in her veins after all), her family faced a dilemma. Send her to the Jedi temple where, they knew, she would achieve her maximum potential – or keep her here. Well…family is family. There was, as there always is, a Corellian saying on the matter. "A Corellian Jedi who leaves the system does so at his own peril."

So she donned the green padawan robes and apprenticed to Master Jareck.

Viera is as typical a Corellian as you can get – considered intrepid and maverick even by her own family. They say you should never tell a Corellian the odds for success; as for a Corellian, beating the odds is always a reward in itself. And like many Corellians she was brought up to value courage – and to recognise it when she saw it.

Viera was always a home-bird and whenever she was away from home she would quite literally get sentimental at the sight of a sweet ryshcate pastry or a bottle of the woody, potable Whyren's Reserve.

As she has travelled the galaxy, Viera has tried to hide many of her personality traits but at the first sign of excitement or provocation, you can see the independent mind-set; the daring (almost reckless) yet pragmatic course of action.

The interesting fact for Jedi about Corellia is that it has many deep underwater caverns with orange lightsaber crystals. And finding one was always a task set for any promising padawan.

And so, by either good fortune or blind luck, when the Jedi failed to deal with Darth Sidious and he in turn instigated The Great Jedi Purge, Viera was in one of those caves. Her master and the rest of her order succumbed to Order 66.

Knowing Sidious, now Emperor of the Galactic Empire, and Darth Vader would hunt down and kill the remaining Jedi, Viera hid her identity. She heard stories of some Jedi that fought the Empire until their deaths, like those at the Conclave on Kessel, but she suspected many more hid - just like her.

In the ten years that followed Order 66, she heard of so many Jedi that fell to Vader, Inquisitors, Emperor's Hands, and even bounty hunters.

But denying her force training and Jedi code was impossible for the young girl that was growing into a young woman. And despite her love for her home world, she knew she’d have to move on if she was to make her mark against the Empire.

Of course the Corellians are known for their prowess with ships. Because piracy and smuggling are well-known occupations of a strong number of Corellians, getting off-world was not a problem. Even pirates have a heart when it comes to one of their own.

And so Viera became something of a Jedi Wanderer – a drifter, travelling from system to system upholding the Jedi Code as she saw fit. She still followed the rules and regulations set down by the Council but sometimes has to take the Code for what it is and apply it to her situation. Sometimes that has meant making rather unorthodox actions to achieve her goal.

Which is how she ended up in…

Viera carries with her an old lightsaber - her master's. And an ornage lightsaber crystal she found that fateful day. One day she plans to create her own lightsaber from the parts she already has - and add the orange crystal.
