Syal Antilles Fel

"I will be with you soon enough. Nothing will keep us apart. You have my word as well as my heart."

- Soontir Fel

Syal Antilles Fel was the real name of Wynssa Starflare, a famous actress, and the sister of Alliance hero, Wedge Antilles.

Biography
Syal worked with her parents and younger brother Wedge on a re-fueling station and on their family farm, though the harshness of such a life was evidently unsuitable for her; at the age of 17 she ran away from home. After leaving the Corellian Sector, she adopted the stage name, Wynssa, and became a famous Imperial actress, starring in several successful holodramas. One actor to costar with her in several of these holodramas, Garik Loran, would later become a Wraith Squadron pilot alongside Syal's brother, Wedge.



During a return visit to Corellia, Syal became the target of a kidnapping threat. She was placed under the protection of two CorSec agents, Corran Horn and Iella Wessiri, although it was not until years later that they would learn her true identity.

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin in 1 ABY, Syal married Soontir Fel, remaining with him throughout his entire career and beyond. She joined him in his retirement on Csilla in Chiss territory, in the harsh and dangerous Unknown Regions. Soontir and Syal raised a family there, eventually giving birth to six children, all of them born after their move to the Empire of the Hand. Two of them, Davin and Cherith, were killed in the Yuuzhan Vong War. Another son, Chak Fel, became a commander in the Empire of the Hand’s starfleet, but by the time of the Swarm War he had also perished. Jagged Fel, perhaps the most successful of the Fel children, became a military leader in the Empire of the Hand, the Chiss Ascendancy, and later the Imperial Remnant. The Fels also had two other younger children, Wynssa and Cem, their shadow child.

After Syal and Soontir (who had defected back to the Empire), disappeared from known space, Syal's fate remained unknown to her brother Wedge for many years. The whereabouts of the Fel family was not made known until 25 ABY during the Yuuzhan Vong War when their son Jag appeared in the New Republic as a Colonel from the Chiss military, who happened to be aiding the Imperial Remnant at the time. It was not until this point that Wedge realized that his sister, Syal, still happened to be alive.
