| - Quarra Thayn was a Force-sensitive Keshiri female from Uhrar on the continent of Alanciar on the planet Kesh. She was a wardmaster in the Alanciari military and the Chief military administrator of the city of Uhrar. She was married to Brue Thayn, and they produced three children including one daughter. As with all Keshiri living in Alanciar, Quarra was raised on the teachings of Adari Vaal, who had managed to escape from the continent of Keshtah Minor, which was ruled by the Lost Tribe of Sith. Thus, Quarra and her compatriots were indoctrinated from youth to defend their homeland from any invasion by the Tribe. She read Adari's popular history book the Keshtah Chronicles and attended the Observance Day plays, which depicted the Sith Tribe in a negative light. In 2975 BBY, Quarra began an affair with Jogan Halder, a sentinel posted at Point Defiance, the southernmost of Alanciar's western watchtowers. During her visit to Point Defiance, the Lost Tribe sent a reconnaissance mission to scout Alanciar. The Alanciari defenders downed the enemy airships with their ballistae. In an attempt to hide her affair, Quarra attempted to return to Uhrar during the fighting. However, they were captured by the High Lord Edell Vrai, the leader of the Sith reconnaissance mission, and his marooned scouting party. In exchange for sparing the life of the wounded Jogan, Quarra agreed to guide Edell on a reconnaissance mission to Alanciar's military capital of Sus'mintri, which was located near the center of the continent. While Quarra appeared to collaborate with the invaders, she secretly intended to scare the Sith "back to where they came from." Despite their political and philosophical differences, Quarra developed a reluctant friendship with Edell. During her travels, Quarra also experienced a Force vision where she encountered the former Sith woman Orielle Kitai and her Jedi husband Jelph Marrian who gave her encouragement to persevere. Orielle compared her former life as a high-ranking member of the Sith tribe to Quarra's station in the Alanciar military. She also warned Quarra of the dangers of "living within a dream." Convinced of the inevitable Sith take-over and intrigued by Orielle's peaceful life in the jungle, Quarra decided to remain loyal to her family rather than becoming the consort of Edell Vrai after the Sith have occupied Alanciar. Towards the end of their travels, the Lost Tribe launched a full-scale military invasion of Alanciar. Edell's rival High Lord Korsin Bentado's Ebon Fleet invaded Alanciar but were shot down by the Alanciari military. However, Bentado and several of his followers survived the crash. These Sith regrouped and succeeded in infiltrating the Alanciari military capital of Sus'mintri where they slew the entire Alanciari War Cabinet; effectively decapitating the Alanciari government. After checking that her family was safe at Uhrar, Quarra and Edell completed their journey to Sus'mintri. While Quarra had intended to hand Vrai over to the Alanciari War Cabinet, the two quickly discovered that Bentado and his followers had already arrived and seized control of Vaal Hall, the headquarters of the War Cabinet. Bentado then revealed his plans to take control of Alanciar for himself and to create a "Second Tribe." He also planned to kill Grand Lord Varner Hilts by shooting down his airship. When Edell and Quarra refused to support his plans, Bentado ordered his men to imprison them. However, they managed to escape and hid for a day within the secret library of Adari Vaal, the Rock of Kesh and the founder of Alanciari civilization. During this period, Quarra discovered Adari's personal memoirs which revealed that she had succumbed to weakness during an encounter with Yaru Korsin, the founder of the Tribe. Edell also revealed that he had secretly sent her lover Jogan to Keshtah Minor, the domain of the Tribe. Despite their differences, Quarra and Edell made an agreement to stop Bentado's plans. They succeeded in entering Bentado's base in the building's "world watch" where they fought him and his bodyguards. While Bentado managed to overpower Quarra and Edell with his dark side powers, he was killed by his own Keshiri assistant Squab, who revealed that he had countermanded Korsin's orders to destroy Hilts' ship. As a result, Hilts' airship managed to land in Alanciar's capital Sus'mintri with minimal resistance. Quarra and Edell quickly learnt that her former lover Jogan had become the Tribe's new ambassador to the Alanciari. Jogan was able to convince the Alanciari to submit to the Lost Tribe by claiming that they did not pose a threat to Alanciar. Instead, he claimed that the Tribe were the legendary Protectors, deities in Keshiri religion. Jogan also told them that Bentado and the Ebon Fleet were the malevolent Destructors, who had been expelled from Keshtah. He also explained that Edell Vrai was a "trusted friend" of the Protectors whose airships were pursuing the Destructors. The Grand Lord Hilts also disguised himself as the Kesh-born minion of the Bright Tuash, an avian Keshiri deity. Hilts supported Jogan's account and expressed remorse that the "evil ones" had murdered the Alanciari War Cabinet before the "Protectors" could arrive to stop them. He also claimed that Adari Vaal had been a well-meaning albeit misguided servant of the Tuash. According to the Bright Tuash, Quarra was a well-trained Alanciari who had been working in concert with Edell Vrai, a secret agent of the Protectors, to defeat Korsin Bentado. Quarra and Edell were also praised for their role in stopping Bentado, who was dubbed a "servant of the Destructors." However, Quarra remained suspicious and distrustful of the Sith. While Quarra managed to make contact with her lover Jogan, he was too preoccupied with his new job of being the new "Herald." Ultimately, Jogan decide not to contact Quarra since he was preoccupied with his newly-found position. While many of her people were convinced by the Tribe's demonstration, Quarra alone remained skeptical but found little support from her compatriots. Instead she resolved to accept her destiny and guide her compatriots through the process of "Unification." She also returned to her family home where she reconciled with husband Brue Thayn and their three children.
