Tierny was a human female who served as an agent in the First Order Security Bureau during the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance. She was sent to the Colossus to investigate Resistance activity after it was discovered that several members of a crew of mechanics were associated with the group.

BiographyEdit

Tierny was part of the First Order during its conflict with the Resistance, and was an agent in the First Order Security Bureau. In 34 ABY, Tierny was sent to the Colossus platform on Castilon, which had recently been occupied by the First Order, after Commander Pyre, in charge of the garrison already present, led stormtroopers to arrest Team Fireball, a group of mechanics, upon the revelation that the crew's namesake racer had been used by Resistance members trespassing in the First Order-controlled Sector Epsilon 51-3. Tierny intended to interrogate the one member of the team who had not escaped capture, Tamara Ryvora.^[1]

The agent was met by Pyre and Captain Imanuel Doza, the Colossus' owner, upon her arrival, and they went to Doza's office. When Ryvora was brought in, Tierny immediately approached her in a welcoming fashion, ordering the mechanic's binders be removed before taking her off to the Aces Lounge where they could talk. During the conversation, Tierny exploited Ryvora's sympathy towards the First Order and her consequential obliviousness to the activities of her boss Jarek Yeager and co-worker Kazuda Xiono to put her at ease. When Ryvora expressed her belief that Xiono hailed from a poor background on Coruscant, Tierny revealed to her the truth that Xiono was actually a former New Republic Navy pilot and a member of one of Hosnian Prime's richest families who had been recruited into the Resistance, shocking Ryvora.^[1]

Tierny later had to leave, with Ryvora left guarded by two stormtroopers, when the Colossus began to shake, returning to Doza's office. Xiono and Yeager, secretly collaborating with Doza, had arranged to sink the entire platform in order to make it easier for them to access the transmitter on the outside of Doza Tower from which the First Order was broadcasting a jamming signal, so they could take it down and contact the Resistance. Tierny agreed with Pyre that the timing of the alleged reactor failure which caused the sinking was far too convenient. When Tierny and Pyre were informed that the jamming signal had been brought down, Doza suggested water damage, but Tierny looked out the window and noticed that the transmitter was above the water line, causing Pyre to leave to deal with the situation. Subsequently, Yeager was captured while securing the escape of Xiono and droid CB-23 with a recorded message from General Leia Organa.^[1]

Later, Tierny seeing the potential of Tamara Ryvora sympathizes with her and persuades her that the First Order works for the peace and the order in the Galaxy and that Kazuda Xiono, Jarek Yeager and the Resistance are the enemies.

Battle of CastilonEdit

When Kazuda Xiono and his Resistance group retake the control of the Colossus, Pyre and Tierny tries to capture Kaz, Tora and Jarek Yegae but failed and flee with Tam who accepts to join the First Order.

Personality and traitsEdit

Tierny was a human female with black hair, brown eyes, and dark skin.^[1] She had a mysterious scar on her jaw. Instead of aggressive interrogation tactics, Tierny was a master manipulator who preferred to lure her targets into a false sense of security.^[2] She hoped to restore peace to the galaxy through absolute order.^[1]

EquipmentEdit

As an agent of the First Order Security Bureau, Tierny wore its standard uniform. It had black shoulder armor with the First Order insignia in white, black chest armor, two holsters on each leg, a rank insignia of the First Order on her left arm, and a black helmet. She also carried two RK-3 blaster pistols.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

"She's a security agent like Kallus, and they get to design their own gear. They don’t really have the standard uniform, so her entire under suit is very police/SWAT team inspired."

―Amy Beth Christenson on Tierny and her outfit^[src]

Tierny was first pictured in the Star Wars Resistance Season One mid-season trailer^[3] and later identified in a StarWars.com article with concept art for cosplayers for Celebration Chicago.^[4] She is voiced by Sumalee Montano.^[1]

The original outline of "Descent" had Commander Pyre as the one with the task to arrest and question Tam Ryvora instead of Tierny. In the episode's first draft, rather than an agent, Tierny was an admiral, but by the second draft, Tierny was redefined into an interrogation agent. Much of Tierny's look was inspired by real-world police gear, with her helmet being a mash-up between those worn by Darth Vader and Alexsandr Kallus.^[5]

The spelling of Tierny's name has been inconsistent. Whereas the StarWars.com article with cosplay concept art refers to her as "Tierny"^[4] as does her Databank entry,^[2] the article about the development of "Descent" refers to her as "Tierney".^[5] This article uses the first given spelling.
