Viera Cacete was a Force-sensitive Asheran female born on the world Ashera in 45 BBY. The Jedi Master Kian Jiranus found her in 40 BBY and took her to Coruscant to train as a Jedi. There she was known to be someone who did not always follow rules, thus earning her a small reputation; aside from her being a rare species. As a padawan she was captured by Trandoshans and taken to Trandosha, where she escaped at the cost of her friend Garahum Helion. During the Clone Wars, Viera was made a Jedi Knight and was given command of the 56th Battalion, where she served alongside CC-1211.
