Varel DeVay was a
Human female xenobiologist from the
Core. Growing up in a pampered environment, DeVay enjoyed the finest education, and worked for several research companies throughout

Imperial warlord Moff Kentor Sarne. Rescued from her service to him when the
New Republic liberated the planet in
