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.
