Varel DeVay

Varel DeVay was a Human female xenobiologist from the Core Worlds who served as the chief scientist onboard the New Republic corvette FarStar.

Biography
DeVay grew up on a small planet in the Core, and led a pampered life. She attended the best universities, and gained an excellent education which led her to a choice of careers. Her fascination in alien species led her to choose xenobiology. Graduating in 3 ABY, DeVay worked for several research corporations, switching jobs often to climb the corporation ladder and gain a measure of financial security.

In 8 ABY, DeVay was offered a position with a corporation on Kal'Shebbol at twice her current salary. Inside a month, DeVay had left her position and reported for work on Kal'Shebbol. Upon arrival, she found that the company did not exist. Moff Kentor Sarne had plotted to lure scientists to his empire, and DeVay had fallen for it. She was forced to work on biological weapons, and was out of contact with her family.

Shortly after, the New Republic liberated the planet, and her father pleaded with her to come home. Too proud to admit that he was right, DeVay signed onto the FarStar mission. Her duties included overseeing the hydroponic bays and overseeing the droid workers. During the mission, she was part of a landing party sent to Binaros to gather food stores. Later, the FarStar was invaded by a Binaran Mother Plant and its Feeders. DeVay was attacked by them in the hydroponics bay, but managed to hold them off until help arrived. She assisted the crew in defeating the plant by concocting a gaseous poison.

Personality and traits
DeVay was obsessed with climbing the corporate ladder and achieving financial security, an obsession that led her to change jobs frequently. She was also proud and stubborn, and hated droids. She constantly complained about not having any Human help in the hydroponics bay.
