Nawara Ven

Nawara Ven (pronounced "Nawar'aven" meaning "silver-tongued" in Twi'leki), a Twi'lek, was originally trained as an attorney. However, he later became a member of Rogue Squadron, and was trained as an X-wing pilot.

During the infiltration of Coruscant, Nawara was responsible for evaluating the inhabitants of InvisiSec to see if they would support the New Republic when they attempted to capture the planet. Nawara defended Gavin Darklighter when he was inaccurately accused of being a bigot by the Bothan Asyr Sei'Lar.

Nawara Ven was asked to lead the Rogue Squadron delegation when they visited the planet of Ryloth in order to obtain Ryll Kor to fight the Krytos virus.

Despite being a pilot, he was called upon to act as an attorney when he defended fellow squadron member Tycho Celchu against charges of murder and treason. Ven was twice shot out of his X-wing when enemy TIE fighters scored direct hits. While he had completely recovered after the first time he had to eject, during the second instance he lost his leg when a micro-meteorite severed it below the knee. Although he was fitted with a prosthesis, he was no longer combat-ready and wasn't able to continue as a pilot for Rogue Squadron. Wedge made him Executive Officer as Tycho Celchu was cleared for normal duty.

After the hunt for Warlord Zsinj ended, Nawara retured from the Rogues altogether and married Rhysati Ynr, a woman from Bespin whom he met when Rogue Squadron was reformed under Wedge Antilles, intending to start a family.

Later, Nawara Ven served as an officer on board the Errant Venture. He helped to rescue some Jedi students off Trogan during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
