Juliet "Venus" Dekan Darkstar was born and raised within the powerful inner circle of Palpatine's court. Her grandfather, Count Dekan, was a Director of Imperial Intelligence and one of the Interim Ruling Council's strongest members, Dekan. Her predetermined life's purpose was to please and advise the most powerful men in the Imperial High Command, and was chosen to be the consort to Emperor Alaric Darkstar when just a teenager. After a mysterious and tragic event, Venus faked her suicide to flee her marriage, and found asylum in the only faction that would protect her — the New Republic. She lived a quiet life, working in diplomatic affairs, until she suffered a sudden nervous breakdown which made her seek solace in Caspia.
