As Ashin Varanin's influence grew within the Sith'ari Centrality and the Sith Empire, she discovered that her various responsibilities - Keeper of Holocrons aboard the Stormblessed, First Apprentice to Darth Sirena, alchemist, member of the Dark Council - dominated much of her time. As she cultivated her position within the Council, leveraged her few shares in Galactic Import/Export and re-established her family relationship with Naboo's royalty, more and more objects, funds and possibilities fell into her hands. Her 'Hands' are her assistants, mainly non-Force-sensitives who believe strongly in Ashin's values of justice and order.
