Biography[]
- "I am an extension of the Emperor's will. My actions here simply execute his directives. The Emperor is the mind. I am his tool. Is a tool responsible if it is used to kill someone?"
- ―Ssaria
Ssaria was a female[2] human who served in the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. She rose to the rank of Moff and ruled as governor of the sector that contained the planet Castell. She brutally enforced the will of the Emperor, Sheev Palpatine, in the ongoing Imperial occupation of Castell. Her tactics garnered her a reputation amongst the people of Castell. Some citizens took to calling her such nicknames as "the Fiend of Castell" and "the Burning Moff."[1]
At some point after the Battle of Yavin, Ssaria had an intimate relationship with Lando Calrissian. In her quarters on Castell with Calrissian one day, he began admiring a small trinket, prompting her to inquire what he found so fascinating about it. Calrissian confessed he had planned to steal it, as a means of repaying his debts. Ssaria pulled out a blaster pistol and aimed it at him, as Calrissian continued on about how he couldn't steal it, knowing Ssaria would have troopers searching for him and that word of her lover's betrayal would get out. Calrissian convinced her to allow him to leave with the trinket, which he returned to Papa Toren shortly afterwards in an effort to repay his debt.[1]
