Teela Kaarz was a female Mirialan political prisoner convict who worked on the construction of the first Death Star.

Biography
In her former life, Teela was a influential and well-to-do professional on Mirial. She was an architect, specializing in encapsulated design, and had designed the Ralthok Encapsulization on Corellia and the Blackstar wheelworld in the Sagar system. As such, she was much celebrated and moved in the higher echelons of Mirial society, as a guest to an assortment of monarchs, Senators, heads of industry and starfleet admirals.

During planet-wide elections on Mirial, Teela had supported a political candidate who was deemed a traitor by the Emperor, and by extension, so were his most influential supporters. Teela was rounded up along with a score of other well-to-do Mirialans and convicted of treason in hastily conducted trials. She was spared an equally expedient execution due to the public outrage that arose over the events, however, she was instead transported for life to the prison planet Despayre.

Teela managed to survive for about a year in the harsh environs of the prison planet, thanks largely to the woodcraft taught to her by her father as a young girl. She cultivated an aura of disquieting menace which also held off the more dangerous criminal predators of Dungeontown, the shanty town where she dwelled. She was eventually recruited by Imperials seeking additional labor for the construction of the Death Star in orbit above the planet and finally left Despayre on board the prisoner transport ship GLTB-3181.

Given her qualifications, Teela was selected to work for Benits Stinex, chief architect and head of interior design and construction on the Death Star.

She later became the girlfriend of Villian Dance.
