| - Vana Kewlii was born on Duro, but on one of the many civilian space stations that orbited the ruined planet. Her parents worked in shipping and had been making a stop over during one of their shipping runs. Her mother went into labor during the stop over, making the stay much longer than they had anticipated. Thus Vana was born after a rather short labor time of five hours. Her parents stayed on the station for a few more days, as the company that they worked for had understood what had happened, and that the family would need more time before they could get back onto the shipping lane. Vana’s father was the pilot of the ship, while her mother was the co-pilot and was necessary. In addition, they didn’t want to ask the man to leave his family during a time like this.

| - Vana Kewlii was born on Duro, but on one of the many civilian space stations that orbited the ruined planet. Her parents worked in shipping and had been making a stop over during one of their shipping runs. Her mother went into labor during the stop over, making the stay much longer than they had anticipated. Thus Vana was born after a rather short labor time of five hours. Her parents stayed on the station for a few more days, as the company that they worked for had understood what had happened, and that the family would need more time before they could get back onto the shipping lane. Vana’s father was the pilot of the ship, while her mother was the co-pilot and was necessary. In addition, they didn’t want to ask the man to leave his family during a time like this. Shortly after her birth, they headed back to work, knowing that they needed to be able to provide for their newborn daughter. As Vana grew, she learned how to pilot, but never took to the skill well, something that her father was saddened by. She did become, however, a very good shot, able to make shots that some people had deemed impossible. By the time she was eight, her parents had managed to save up enough money to hire on people underneath them within the company. Now, her parent's time were split between two ships, and she switched off between the two of them. Unfortunately, tragedy struck. Vana was on one of the ships with her father in one system, while her mother was in another system doing another job. The convoy that her mother was a part of was attacked by pirates and in the ensuing fight, her mother was killed, when her ship was destroyed by well placed proton torpedoes. It created in Vana a deep seeded hatred towards pirates and those who would conduct acts of piracy. Her father became a changed man, much more somber and melancholy. Vana did what she could to cheer her father up over the months after her mother's death, but no matter what she did, it appeared that nothing would make her father smile again. It was shortly after he renamed his ship after Vana's deceased mother that things took a turn for the better. They were doing a smuggling run that took them along the Corellian Way when they made a stopover at Rodia. While they were there, they met a Jedi Knight who was traveling through the area. She sensed the strong Force presence in Vana and made this fact aware to her father. She also offered to train Vana in the ways of the Force. Vana was unsure what was going to happen. A part of her wanted to go and become a Jedi Knight, because she would be able to help those who had suffered like herself and also fight against pirates. At the same time, she didn't want to leave her father, because he needed her as emotional support. They were it when it came to family for each other. Her father made the decision that Vana was to go with the Jedi Knight and study to become a Jedi. He told Vana that he would always be there for her and that he was only a holonet connection away if she ever wanted to talk to him. Still unsure if she was making the right decision, Vana obeyed her father's wishes and went with the Jedi Knight.
