Vestara Khai

"Praise circumstances for the time of your birth, young one. For you will know the honor and responsibilities and delights of being among the first in five millennia to leave Kesh&hellip;and rejoin our brethren, from whom we have been separated for so very long, to take your place in ruling a Sith galaxy."

- Olaria Rhea, upon the hour of Vestara Khai's apprenticeship

Vestara Khai, nicknamed Ves, was a Human female Sith apprentice and the daughter of Sith Saber, Gavar Khai, in the time following the Second Galactic Civil War. Her mother was a non Force-sensitive woman named Lahka Khai. Vestara was part of the Lost Tribe of Sith, as the apprentice of Lady Olaris Rhea, on the remote planet of Kesh. She was good friends with Keshiri Sith, Arhi Raas.

Biography
In 41 ABY, Vestara was a 14 year old Sith Tyro, an apprentice who had yet to be chosen by Lady Rhea. One day while sparring with her friend Arhi, she sensed the approach of Ship, who had flown to Kesh. Ship sensed Vestara's desire to become a Sith Master and offered to teach her. Since Vestara's was the first mind that Ship touched when it came to Kesh, she was summoned before the Circle of Lords, the ruling Sith council. There she was apprenticed to Sith Lady Olaris Rhea, and began her training in the Sith Temple. It was during this time that Vestara also learned that the Sith in the rest of the galaxy had been nearly exterminated and that the Jedi had grown numerous.

Under Ship's guidance, Vestara and other Sith began traveling beyond Kesh to capture other ships and form a Sith armada. Over time, she went from being a innocent who never even inflicted a serious injury to a person who killed numerous people through various methods.

Two years later, in 43.5 ABY, Vestara was one of the Sith who felt Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's power in the Force, the result of an Aing-Tii artifact Luke had touched. Learning about Luke from Ship, she was made a member of a small elite strike force that would seek out and eliminate Skywalker. Later, when Ship left, the force's mission was changed to finding it and bringing it back.

Personality and traits
"I am Vestara Khai, daughter of a proud heritage. I have what is necessary to command the dark side and bend it to my will. To use it for the good of the Tribe, and the People."

- Vestara

Vestara possessed all the desired physical qualities of a Sith save for a small scar on her lip, which in her society was considered a degrading flaw. However, Lady Rhea told she that she believed the scar was beneficial, giving her the appearance of a constant smirk.

Powers and abilities
Vestara was known to have possessed not only a red-bladed lightsaber, a traditional tool of the Sith, but also a weapon similar to a dagger, possibly a Shikkar.
