| - Arva Sessren was an Arkanian male Jedi Knight during the Alsakan Crisis. Born on Arkania, Arva was the youngest of five children. His father and older brothers would frequently beat him, and the beatings became worse after his mother left their family. No longer wanting to be a member of his family either, Arva eventually fled to work on a moisture farm, where he dreamed of fleeing Arkania for a better life. Hoping to make his dream a reality, Arva fled Arkania, but he was captured by Trandoshan slavers on Kashyyyk. However, he was purchased by a Jedi Knight, who had bought Arva in order to free him. The Jedi Knight trained Arva in basic combat techniques until the slavers located them and attempted to recapture Arva. The Jedi Knight told him to flee to Ossus, where he was accepted into the monastic Jedi Order for training. Arva was trained by Jedi Knight Violet Tempest prior to the conclave on Ossus that broke the Jedi Order apart. After the schism during the conclave, a number of Jedi left the Order and founded a new organization, the Ospion Guardians, which Arva also joined. While an Ospion, Arva encountered his mother, but he was criticized by his Ospion master, Mask, for refusing to kill her. Nevertheless, Arva became an Ospion Knight, though he did not want to be an Ospion once the order began falling to the dark side of the Force.
