Voren Na'al/Legends

Voren Na'al was a prominent historian of the Rebel Alliance and New Republic.

Na'al's beginning in the Alliance came while serving as a stringer for the Galactic New Service on the planet Corsin in the Greater Plooroid Cluster. While covering the prestigious swoop races there, a platoon of stormtroopers burst into the press area and placed everyone under arrest. Later, Na'al discovered that the Empire had deposed the government of the beautiful, life-loving world and replaced it with one dedicated to the New Order, dispensing with civil rights and placing the entire population under a police state. This event drove Na'al into the arms of the Rebel Alliance.

Na'al was placed in the historian corps, under Master Historian Arhul Hextrophon. Hextrophon assigned Na'al to write an account of the Battle of Yavin and the events surrounding it, and this account was soon followed by Na'al's accounts of the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor.

After the events at Endor, Na'al was tasked with presented the report to the Provisional Council of the Alliance of Free Planets regarding the Battle of Bakura. Na'al's report, the conclusions of which advocated suppressing information about the Ssi-ruuk to the galaxy at large and committing a task force to negotiate with the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium from a position of strength, was provocative to say the least.

Voren Na'al was eventually promoted to the positions of Director of Council Research for the New Republic and Assistant Historian to the Republic. He compiled reports on the campaigns of Grand Admiral Thrawn against the New Republic as well of those of the cloned Palpatine. He also began growing close to New Republic Intelligence agent Rivoche Tarkin, niece of the infamous Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, who provided him with firsthand accounts of the devastation of Coruscant.

Voren eventually retired as Head of New Republic Council Research, becoming a history professor. He and Rivoche Tarkin were married, and had several children together. Nearly ten years after the destruction of Mount Tantiss, he enlisted the help of one of his students, the Devaronian Pollo Tipn, in investigating for Mon Mothma some unusual reports emanating from the Kathol Sector, reports connected to Grand Admiral Thrawn.
