Ovarra

"For stopping these evil schemes, we are all in your debt, [PC's name]. I will send out a patrol to the area to make sure that no more of their research material is out there. You should tell the Geonosian the good news."

- Ovarra, talking to a spacer

Ovarra was a female Wookiee elder who lived in the city of Kachirho on Kashyyyk. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Ovarra was one of the judges at the trial of Ikvizi, a Geonosian scientist who had been framed by a group of Trandoshan slavers of planning heinous crimes against the Wookiees. During the trial, Ikvizi hired a spacer to prove his innocence. The spacer was able to find documents in the slavers' camp proving Ikvizi innocent, and returned these documents to Ovarra. After examining the evidence, Ovarra decided that Ikvizi was innocent of most of his crimes, except for the fact that Ikvizi had bribed a guard to let him examine a Wookiee corpse. However, Ovarra said she would ensure that Ikvizi would receive a light punishment.

Biography
Ovarra was a female Wookiee elder in the city of Kachirho on the planet of Kashyyyk. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Ovarra was one of the judges at the trial of Ikvizi. Ikvizi was a Geonosian scientist who had come to Kachirho to study the Wookiees. While on Kashyyyk, Ikvizi had heard about a scientific camp in the outskirts of Kachirho, and he went out into the forest to swap notes with these scientists. However, when Ikvizi arrived, it turned out that the camp wasn't a research station at all, but a group of Trandoshan slavers conducting painful experiments on Wookiee captives. Ikvizi decided he needed to help the Wookiee slaves, so he snuck into the camp to find some proof to take back to Kachirho. While he was going through the slavers' items, however, one of the Trandoshans found Ikvizi and knocked him out. While uncounscious, Ikvizi was found by a Wookiee hunting party in the woods with documents implicating him in a plan to perform harmful experiments on the Wookiees. He was captured and thrown in jail, and was sent to trial.

During the trial, there were suddenly many people testifying against him, saying they had seen the Geonosian doing suspicious things around the city. The most notable of these testimonies was when Ikviz bribed a guard to let him examine the corpse of a Wookiee hunter who had died in the Shadowlands, the dark ground level of Kashyyyk. Ovarra was very skeptical of the evidence provided in the trial, but it still seemed that Ikvizi was going to be found guilty by the judges.

To try to prove his innocence, Ikvizi hired a spacer who was passing through Kachirho to go find documents in the Trandoshans' camp that proved that the slavers had framed him. After a brief fight, the spacer made it into the camp and found eight documents proving Ikvizi had not planned anything, and that the Trandoshans were guilty of doing illegal experiments on the Wookiees. The spacer returned to Kachirho and brought the documents to Ikvizi, who, after looking them over, told the spacer to give the documents to Ovarra. Ovarra was currently at Kachirho's center tree, the center of government for Kachirho. When the spacer showed the Elder the information, she cleared Ikvizi of the charges of planning to conduct dangerous experiments on the Wookiees. While Ikvizi was still charged with bribing the guard, Ovarra said she would try to get Ikvizi a lenient sentence. She then sent a patrol to stop the Trandoshans that remained at the camp so that they would not be able to continue harming the Wookiee populace.

Personality and traits
"Well, the fact remains that he did commit a crime by bribing one of our guards but I will see to it that he gets a lenient punishment for that."

- Ovarra talking to the spacer.

As an elder, Ovarra had a sense of justice and upheld the law, such as when she still charged Ikvizi with bribing the guards to examine a Wookiee's corpse. However, she was not without compassion, as she said she should argue that the Geonosian would get a lenient sentence for his crimes.

Behind the scenes
Ovarra made her first and only appearance in the Star Wars: Galaxies expansion game Rage of the Wookiees, in which she was part of "The Imprisioned Geonosian" quest, an add-on quest to the preexisting Geonosian Bio-Lab "theme-park." In the quest, Ikvizi will be in prision when he asks the player for help. Although the player can choose not to do the quest and refuse Ikvizi's request, this article assumes 100% game completion.
