Shura (Sith)

Shura was a female Human Sith Saber in the Lost Tribe of Sith who lived around the time after the Second Galactic Civil War. In 41 ABY, Ship, a Sith Meditation Sphere, arrived on Kesh and established a Force connection to the Sith Tyro Vestara Khai. Khai was summoned to the Circle of Lords, and when the Tyro arrived, Shura took Khai to the Circle Chambers.

Biography
Shura was a Force-sensitive female Human who was born on the remote Wild Space planet Kesh. She was trained by the Lost Tribe of Sith &mdash;descendants of a group of Sith whose starship, the Omen, crash-landed on Kesh in 5,000 BBY while attempting to deliver a shipment of Lignan crystals to Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow during the Great Hyperspace War &mdash;and by 41 ABY she had ascended to the rank of Sith Saber. During that year, Ship, a Sith Meditation Sphere, arrived on Kesh. The Sphere developed a strong connection in the Force with the Sith Tyro Vestara Khai, resulting in Khai being summoned to the Circle of Lords in the capital of Kesh, Tahv.

Shura, together with a male and a female Sith Saber, awaited Khai at the Sith Temple in Tahv. When Khai arrived, Shura took Khai to the Circle Chambers via a winding staircase and used the Force to open the entrance to the chambers.

Powers and abilities
Shura possessed the abilities to achieve the rank of Sith Saber and was strong enough in the Force to open the hidden entrance to the Circle Chambers. She was able to speak Galactic Basic Standard.
