The daughter of Emperor Roan Fel and Empress Elliah Fel , through her father she was a great - granddaughter of Jagged Fel , the first Emperor of the Fel dynasty . She was also a distant cousin of Ania Solo . Like her father , Fel possessed a strong connection to the Force , and as a princess she trained as an Imperial Knight . The lover of fellow Imperial Knight Antares Draco , she was captured by the One Sith following Darth Krayt ' s coup against her father and taken to Korriban , where Draco nearly died in an attempt to rescue the woman he loved . Marasiah Fel ultimately survived the war to witness the defeat of Darth Krayt and the fall of his Galactic Empire against the combined forces of the Fel loyalists , the Galactic Alliance Remnant and the Jedi Order . Her father ' s death in the final battle of the war resulted in Marasiah Fel ' s ascension as the Empire ' s first ruling Empress . Following the defeat of the One Sith , Fel became one of the three triumvirs of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate , an alliance consisting of the Jedi Order , the Imperial Court , and the Galactic Alliance . As Empress , Fel embarked on an ambitious communications infrastructure project , called the G51 communications array network , to link the Outer Rim Territories with the rest of the galaxy , and initiated a campaign to hunt down war criminals . Fel also had to contend with the threat of the insurgent One Sith and the rogue Sith Darth Wredd , who wanted to restore the Rule of Two . In 139 ABY , she led the Imperial Knights to victory over the One Sith during the Battle of the Floating World . Biography . Emissary of the Fel Empire . Marasiah Fel was the daughter of Roan Fel , the third Emperor of the Fel Empire . Some Moffs made no secret of their doubts about a woman being in line to take the throne , but like her father , Princess Marasiah was trained as an Imperial Knight , although she had not received a formal knighting when Darth Krayt and Grand Admiral Morlish Veed began their machinations to seize control of the Empire . By the time of the Attack on Emperor Fel in 130 ABY , Marasiah was already secreted away on Bastion . Marasiah acted as an emissary between her father and Imperial systems , often infiltrating planets in secret in order to determine the loyalty of the officers governing there . Due to her work , Fel became fluent in several languages including Basic , Bocce , High Galactic and Huttese . On the run . In 137 ABY , Sia , her bodyguard Imperial Knight Elke Vetter and her guide Astraal Vao were attacked while at the Imperial Mission on Socorro by Darth Talon , acting as Hand for Darth Krayt . Beating Vetter in one - on - one lightsaber combat , Talon tortured the Imperial Knight before finally killing her with Force lightning . Princess Marasiah felt the death of her instructor and friend through the Force and was torn between seeking revenge for Elke ' s death and escaping to continue on with her mission . Sia was personally troubled that one of her mentors had laid down her life for her . She did not realize that she was of little importance to the One Sith , who merely saw her as a way to find her father . The path of Sia and Astraal ' s escape led them to the " Mynock " and Cade Skywalker . She demanded immediate passage and promised to reimburse them in return for their services . But the bounty hunter wanted credits up front , so Sia " ordered " him but it didn ' t work as he was once a Jedi . But at the sight of the Sith , Cade initiated emergency take - off procedures and blasted off Socorro . The two women hoped to make a rendezvous with Astraal ' s brother Shado on Vendaxa , but the self - serving Cade had other ideas , specifically the bounty on Marasiah and her father ' s heads , planning on delivering her to her father and then sell their hideaway to the Sith . Fight for survival . Arriving on Vendaxa , Sia and the crew of the " Mynock " were attacked by an acklay . The timely arrival of Shado Vao and Wolf Sazen stopped the animal , and Sia made arrangements to travel with the two Jedi . And she already guessed that the pirates knew her identity . She was willing to give them creds for transfer into their accounts — once she and the Jedi have left Vendexa and them . But a sudden attack by Darth Talon prevented them from escaping , and Marasiah confronted the Sith before she could kill Wolf Sazen . Her attempt at revenge for the murder of her master , Elke Vetter , was short - lived , as Talon Force pushed her away easily . Cade Skywalker intervened , throwing Talon into the forest with the Force , and led the party to the " Mynock " , but the ship had been sabotaged by Talon prior to her attack , stranding them on Vendaxa . While waiting for repairs on the " Mynock " , it was revealed to her that Cade was a Skywalker . She approached him about the subject and told him how she wished she could just disappear from her destiny too . But she also told him that she would not run away from her responsibilities . When Imperial Knights arrived they were shot down , but survived the crash . Marasiah joined the other knights in the fight along with Cade . Marasiah condemned Antares Draco during their fight with the Sith for coming , knowing that her father would never send a rescue mission . When Draco confessed his love for her she told him , " I know . " She saved Cade ' s life when he was in a daze and failed to notice a Sith approaching him . Marasiah cut down the Sith , but not without injury . When Cade , holding her injured form in his arms , asked her why she did it , she said , " Told you … had to make it right … even if it ' s only … one … life … " She then fell silent . Cade called her lightsaber to him using the Force . Igniting it , he proclaimed " I have had enough . " Marasiah just barely survived the encounter , and afterwards the Imperial Knights and the Jedi brought her board the " Mynock " at Cade ' s request , Cade used his power that heals people close to death on her , bringing her back from the brink of death . She was then escorted back to Bastion onboard the " Mynock " . Imperial Knight . Sometime after this , Marasiah completed her training and was formally knighted as an Imperial Knight . After being charged with a mission by her father , Sia met with Antares at the Pellaeon Gardens . Antares had been distancing himself from her ever since they returned to Bastion , and Marasiah knew her father had ordered him to do so . She told Antares that she would not allow her father to run her personal life , and showed him that she reciprocated his love by kissing him . Antares sadly said he wasn ' t sure if they could be together , but Sia confidently said they could . The Knights were sent to find Skywalker before he fell into the Sith ' s clutches again . They were contacted by a fellow Knight , Azlyn Rae , who was once a Jedi , relaying information about the Jedi Order ' s Hidden Temple . Sia personally knew Azlyn and was confident her loyalty would be to the Empire rather than to the Jedi . If not , the Imperial Knights would be able to weed out traitors . Fel , along with Draco and Krieg , would later be present in the Hidden Temple as Cade Skywalker met the Jedi High Council . She and the other knights were treated with distrust by the Jedi , due to Roan Fel ' s involvement in the Sith – Imperial War . Marasiah then told the Jedi High Council that it was in fact the Sith who had orchestrated the aforementioned events , including tampering with the Ossus Project . After this statement , Marasiah asked the Jedi High Council to join their forces with the Empire ' s . The Jedi then told her that they would consider her offer . She then conversed with the other Imperial Knights about Skywalker ' s plan to assassinate Krayt . She figured they could convince him to join them with bribery . Later , Marasiah had a discussion with Azlyn , who was torn between her past as a Jedi and her duty as a Knight . Sia reminded her of the oaths she swore for life as well as warning her of the fate of the only Imperial Knight who broke his vows . The next day , Sia and the others were witness via hologram to the Council ' s decision ; they wished to pursue negotiations with her father but rejected Cade Skywalker ' s proposal of assassination . Sia stayed behind to continue diplomacy while she sent her fellow Knights to accompany Skywalker . Sia later was present on Agamar when the Jedi Council accepted to discuss alliance with her father . However , the meeting was by the Sith . Though Emperor Fel managed to escape , Sia was captured and taken to Coruscant . There , she unsuccessfully tried to convince Moff Rulf Yage to help her escape and defect . She was then taken by Darth Havok , a Sith Inquisitor ordered to take Sia to Korriban . On Korriban . Princess Fel was taken to XoXaan ' s Temple ' s Chambers of Persuasion , where she was tortured and interrogated by Lord Havok . She resisted Havok ' s torture , which included Force lightning attacks , and refused to talk , prompting the Inquisitor to reveal his former identity : Eshkar Niin , the former Master of Antares . Sia was shocked to see Niin alive since Draco claimed to have killed him . Havok said that Draco lied , making Sia believe that her love was really in league with the Sith . Sia quickly recovered from her shock , and using telekinesis , she took Havok ' s lightsaber and attempted to silence herself . But Havok managed to overpower her and take the weapon from her hands . Soon after , Draco , Krieg and Shado Vao arrived to rescue Sia . They found her in Havok ' s torture chamber , where they killed the guards and freed her . When Sia recovered and found herself in Draco ' s arms , she lashed out at him , calling him a traitor . She raged at a shocked Draco that he was ordered to kill Niin for deserting the Imperial Knights . Draco insisted that he had , but Sia told him that Niin was now Darth Havok and that he had personally tortured her . The argument was cut short by more Sith guards , and Sia took up a lightsaber to help make their escape . The four managed to get to a landing pad where a shuttle was docked . When the path was clear , Draco told the others to leave while he held the Sith off . When Sia heard this , she realized that Havok had lied and Draco wasn ' t in league with the Sith . She protested Draco ' s decision , begging him not to stay behind , but he had accepted that he may have to give his life to protect her . Sia still didn ' t want to leave Draco behind , and Krieg had to restrain Sia to get her on the shuttle . Sometime after the shuttle took off , Sia and Krieg thought they felt Draco die at Havok ' s hands . After escape . Some time after her rescue from Korriban Marasiah was escorted to the hidden Temple on Taivas by Wolf Sazen . There she was reunited with a recently recovered Antares Draco who had just spent a length of time being tortured by his former master at the very place he had rescued her from . Though she was happy he was alive she was displeased that he had revealed Imperial secrets instead of killing himself . Still she had him given armor and informed him he could regain his honor by fighting in the coming attack . As the Sith assaulted Taivas , the GAR , Fel and Jedi forces attempted to entrap Krayt . But the Dark Lord had one card to play : Sith troopers piloting Annihilator - class starfighter s , turning the tide of the battle . The allies were then forces to flee as Tr ' a Saa sacrificed herself to enable their escape . Empress . Fel ' s father soon made the decision to take the fight to Krayt on Coruscant directly rather than wait for him to attack Bastion . As the assault began , the Emperor had Fel , Treis and Draco by his side , stating that he needs those of absolute loyalty . When the battle went awry with Krayt deploying the Sith troopers once again , Roan Fel made the decision to deploy a toxin created by a captive Darth Maladi as a last resort . Fel and the others protested his hasty decision , for he would be condemning their allies and billions of innocents on the planet to death . However , Fel ' s father , too immersed in the dark side , Force - pushed Fel and Treis against a wall , stating that deploying the toxin would be better than handing over the galaxy to Krayt . Weakly , Fel tried to remind her father that he embodied the Force and was close to becoming like Krayt , and begged Draco to keep her father from using the toxin . Draco ' s recent experiences had made him realize what being an Imperial Knight meant , and declared that he would uphold his oath : to bring his Emperor back to the light side of the Force or kill him . The furious Emperor began to duel Draco . In the midst of it , they felt Krayt finally die at the hands of Cade but Roan refused to believe it . He was close to releasing the poison , unaware that he was in fact playing along with Krayt ' s plans , for the poison wouldn ' t affect the Sith . However , Draco ran the Emperor through from behind , killing him . Triumvirate . After Darth Krayt ' s death , the Dark Lord ' s Galactic Empire collapsed and the remaining members of the One Sith fled into hiding . Roan Fel was celebrated as a hero who died to liberate the galaxy ; the details of his fall to the dark side were covered up . With the death of her father , Marasiah Fel ascended as the first Empress of the Empire . As the Galaxy became united under the rule of the newly - formed Galactic Federation Triumvirate , its first triumvirs consisted of Empress Fel , Admiral Gar Stazi and Jedi Master K ' Kruhk . Almost one year after Darth Krayt ' s demise , Marasiah Fel ( with the approval of K ' kruhk and Gar Stazi , although unwillingly ) decided to implement a galactic G51 communications array in order to connect the Outer Rim systems to the galaxy . To this end , she sent one of her Imperial Knights , Yalta Val , to the Carreras system in order to activate the array . However , Val was ambushed by the rogue Sith Darth Wredd , who wanted to destroy the One Sith and re - institute the Rule of Two . Yalta Val ' s disappearance worried the Imperial Knight Jao Assam , who raised his concerns with Empress Fel , explaining that Master Val would have used his Imperial comm droid to transmit is coordinates . While Empress Fel was worried , she took the view that construction delays were not unheard off . Suspecting that something bad had befallen Master Val , Jao offered to travel to the Carreras system to investigate . Empress Fel declined his request and reiterated that his orders were to oversee the Ithorian link of the communications array in the Ottega system . When Jao disagreed , she reminded him that she was in charge . In the end , Jao appeared to comply and promised to ensured that the Ithorian link of the array was finished on time . In the end , Assam disobeyed his orders and traveled to the Carreras system to investigate Val ' s whereabouts . Unaware of Jao ' s intentions , Marasiah Fel conversed with her lover Antares Draco , who described Jao as being rash but having good instincts . He expressed concerns about the lack of communications from Val . Empress Fel commented that navigating through the Carreras system was trick and that they had to give Val the time to do his job . Draco explained that the Imperial Knights faced a shortage of skilled warriors and reiterated that the Order could not afford to lose more Knights . Fel replied that the galaxy could never find out about this shortage and emphasized that the Imperial Knights represented the Galactic Triumvirate . Fel expressed her frustrations about trying to make Master K ' Kruhk and Admiral Stazi understand that the Triumvirate was committed to keeping its promises to the galaxy . She commented that the Knights could never afford to look weak . Draco then assured her that she was strong and that they would prevail through this test . After taking control of the Carreras G51 communications array , Darth Wredd broadcast his manifesto to the galaxy , in which he derided the Empress for having no real power . Empress Fel watched Wredd ' s broadcast and was horrified to see that Yalta had been taken captive . Darth Wredd then attempted to execute Yalta before a life audience but was stopped by Ania Solo , a local junk dealer who was a descendant of Han Solo . Following a skirmish , Darth Wredd managed to escape but Ania managed to rescue Yalta and Jao , who had been wounded during a skirmish with Wredd . While reports of the Carreras Incident were sketchy , Marasiah Fel later learned during a council meeting that a young woman named Ania Solo had been involved in the destruction of the Carreras Array . Enter Ania Solo . Seeking to meet this young woman for herself , Empress Fel dispatched the Star Destroyer " Animus " to pick up Ania Solo , her companions , and the two newly - rescued Imperial Knights . Once aboard the " Animus " , Ania and her companions were welcomed as guests by the Imperials while Yalta and Jao were reassigned for duty on Coruscant . During a later council meeting , Empress Fel learnt that the rogue Sith Darth Wredd had assassinated two Sith infiltrators on Cadomai Prime and the Triumvirate Legation on Ceitia Five . Because of these events , Fel was faced with the dilemma of losing track of Wredd in favor of hunting down any Sith that infiltrated the various governments within the galaxy , or otherwise ignoring the Sith in favor of hunting down Wredd . In the end , Fel decided to leave Wredd alone since he was helping the Triumvirate by killing Sith . Meanwhile , Jao Assam received a Force vision of Darth Wredd attacking Marasiah Fel . Concerned about the Empress ' safety , Jao abandoned his duties and embarked on a quest with his newly - found friend Ania to hunt down and stop Darth Wredd . Upon learning that Ania had escaped , Empress Fel was furious that the Imperials had not detained Ania . She had also been disturbed to read a report that Ania had allegedly murdered an Imperial Knight named Teemen Alton . Upon learning that Jao had absconded with Ania to hunt down Darth Wredd , she ordered that the two be brought to her as prisoners . Ignoring Master Yalta Val ' s pleas that Jao was going after Darth Wredd , Fel viewed Jao as a deserter and reminded her subordinates Val and Antares Draco that desertion carried the death penalty . During their travels , Jao Assam and Ania Solo discovered that another rogue Sith , Darth Luft , and his pirate associates had established a slaving operation in the lawless Calamari system . Using a scam , Luft and his associates lured many Mon Calamari and Quarren refugees back to Dac under the pretext of restoring the planet . However , they were enslaved and forced to build starships for the pirates . Jao sent a distress signal to Yalta Val on Coruscant . Upon receiving the news , Master Val tried to convince Empress Fel to attend to the plight of the Mon Calamari and Quarren refugees . Marasiah refused and dismissed Jao Assam as an unreliable source , asserting that they had no direct evidence of a Sith threat in those shipyards . A visibly annoyed Fel stated that the Triumvirate was already doing enough to help the Mon Calamari and Quarren with its limited resources . Despite Admiral Stazi ' s admonition , Empress Fel was unmoved and refused to order a strike on the Mon Calamari Shipyards . However , Admiral Stazi and Master Val disagreed with Fel ' s ambivalent attitude to the plight of the Mon Calamari and Quarren in the Dac system and assembled a task force to deal with the pirates . The Triumvirate task force succeeded in liberating the shipyards and apprehending the pirates . During the fighting , Darth Luft was killed by Jao Assam . Ultimately , the Liberation of the Mon Calamari Shipyards proved to be a political success . Empress Fel regretted no supporting the strike and toyed with promoting Yalta Val , who declined since he preferred training Imperial Knight recruits on Coruscant . Following the successful Dac operation , the Empress ordered that the Triumvirate resume hunting for war criminals from the Second Imperial Civil War . Ania Solo ended up on the Triumvirate ' s " Most Wanted " list since she was alleged to have murdered the Imperial Knight Teemen Alton . Questioning Ania Solo ' s guilt , Master Val visited Empress Fel at her private office and questioned her justification for tracking down Ania . Marasiah Fel ' s was visibly angered by Yalta Val ' s dissension and threatened to strike him down with her lightsaber . However , she relented and remarked that serving as Empress did not supersede her vows as an Imperial Knight . Still unmoved by Master Val ' s concerns about Ania Solo ' s guilt , she proceeded to remind that when one Imperial Knight was harm , the entire Imperial Knights body felt the pain . She reiterated that apprehending Ania would bring justice to the fallen Teemen Alton and stressed that bringing justice did not require justification . Still questioning Ania ' s guilt , Jao examined Triumvirate files and found that Teemen Alton ' s real murderer had a prosthetic hand , something which Ania did not . Stopping Darth Wredd . Following a protracted pursuit , Ania Solo was captured by Imperial stormtroopers and brought to Coruscant to face trial . During the trial , Master Yalta Val and Jao Assam succeeded in clearing Ania ' s name by presenting the real killer ' s prosthetic hand , something which Ania did not have . Following the trial , Jao Assam was arrested and imprisoned on charges of deserting the Imperial Knights . However , he managed to escape with the help of Darth Wredd . Still loyal to his Empress , Jao decided to follow Wredd in order to foil his plans . Following Jao ' s escape , Empress Fel met with her relative Ania Solo . During the meeting , Fel expressed her view that Jao had not turned to the dark side but was merely seeking to foil Wredd ' s plot . Seeking to save Jao ' s life , Marasiah sent Ania to find him and bring him back . She explained that she could not be seen as being lenient towards Jao . Fel also admitted to spying on Ania Solo . For this top - secret mission , Empress Fel assigned Ania with a platoon of Trandoshan stormtroopers . Ania agreed to the mission in return for extracting a promise from Marasiah Fel to find a way around the desertion charges . Ania , her companions , and the stormtroopers departed on the assassin droid AG - 37 ' s freighter . In secret , Empress Fel also planned to track down and kill Darth Wredd and instructed one of the stormtroopers , Blue Two to forward her Ania ' s coordinates . Ania ' s quest took her to the floating world of Mala , where she found Jao Assam . However , Wredd had tricked Jao into transmitting the coordinates in order to lure both the Imperial Knights and the One Sith into a trap . A large One Sith army landed on Mala and proceeded to attack Ania ' s forces . During the battle , Wredd resurfaced and helped Jao and Ania ' s companions to fight off the Sith horde until Marasiah Fel ' s reinforcements arrived . During the fighting , Empress Fel remained aboard her " Pellaeon " - class Star Destroyer while her lover Antares Draco and Master Val led the Imperial Knights into combat against the One Sith . After Draco was wounded by a Sith , Marasiah entered the battle with a force of stormtroopers . Fel was grateful to Ania for attending to the wounded Draco . After a fierce battle , the Triumvirate , Ania ' s companions , and Darth Wredd succeeded in destroying the entire One Sith army . Empress Fel ordered her Knights to evacuate their wounded comrades and to hunt down for the Sith survivors . While attending to the wounded Draco , Fel was stabbed from behind by Darth Wredd with his lightsaber , thus fulfilling Jao Assam ' s vision . Horrified , Jao pursued Darth Wredd and attacked him , slicing off his hands . However , Jao refused to kill Wredd , knowing that it would lead him to the dark side . In the end , Ania finished off the rogue Sith with a heavy repeating blaster . Due to immediate medical intervention , Marasiah survived her injuries and was placed in a bacta tank . While conversing with Yalta Val , Fel learnt that all of the One Sith had been killed and that the Sith were supposedly gone from the galaxy . While Val regarded the end of the Sith as the end of history , Fel remarked that history had a way of continuing . Following the Battle of the Floating World , Marasiah returned to recuperate on Coruscant and met with Ania Solo . Grateful to Ania for saving the galaxy , she praised the Solo ' s courage and leadership skills and offered her a place in her personal guard . While Ania declined the offer , Marasiah Fel agreed to dismiss the desertion charges against Jao Assam and to allow him to join Ania and her companions in their travels throughout the galaxy . Empress Fel also began implementing reforms to the Imperial Knights Order to redirect their loyalty to the Force rather than the Empress alone . Personality and traits . Marasiah Fel was known for her strong - willed and independent nature . She felt uncomfortable in doing " what duty requires , " to use the word of her father Roan Fel , while others sacrificed their lives for her . A princess of royal birth , Marasiah Fel was known to possess the usual poise and attitude of one who was born to a throne . Yet despite her haughty personality , she also possessed traits such as bravery , integrity and even humility . The death of her mentor , Elke Vetter , both saddened Fel and made her unwilling to allow others to die just so she could continue to live . Though the weight of her responsibilities caused her to occasionally long for freedom , Fel constantly maintained her commitment to defeating the Sith , all of whom were undoubtedly evil in her eyes . Her resentment of the Sith caused Princess Fel to feel burdened with a great deal of personal shame and embarrassment because of her father ' s former alliance with the One Sith during the Sith – Imperial War . The disgrace of her family name strengthened Marasiah Fel ' s resolve to undo the mistakes of her father by liberating the galaxy from the rule of Krayt and his Galactic Empire . Her strong - willed and independent nature , as well as her steadfast commitment to honor and duty , made the princess a visible symbol of her father ' s struggle to retake the Empire that the Sith conquered from the Fel dynasty . In addition to Fel ' s relationship with her father , she was also close with her uncle , Hogrum Chalk , the brother of her late mother . Though loyal to her father and committed to duty , the princess defied Emperor Fel ' s will by pursuing a relationship with Antares Draco , her comrade amongst the Imperial Knights . Given her sense of independence , she did not hesitate to cross the line between duty and emotional attachments . Fel could also be uncompromising under most circumstances ; she had absolutely no tolerance for traitors who broke their oaths to the Emperor , nor was she willing to allow the Sith to break her will during her time as a prisoner on Korriban . As an Imperial Knight , she remained fully committed to the oath that she swore to uphold — serve the Emperor unless he falls from the light side of the Force . If the Emperor can not be redeemed from the dark side , then it was the duty of every Imperial Knight to strike down the fallen Emperor in order to save him from darkness . Princess Fel stayed true to her duty even as her father succumbed to the dark side during the Battle of Coruscant . She refused to stand by and do nothing while her father planned on killing the Empire ' s allies , as well as billions of innocent civilians on Coruscant , in his obsession to destroy the Sith . Her relationship with Draco enabled the Imperial Knight to prevent Roan Fel ' s catastrophic plan by fatally striking down the crazed Emperor . As Empress , Marasiah Fel was committed to building trust and faith in the new Galactic Federation Triumvirate among its inhabitants . This led her to embark on an ambitious project to create a galactic - wide communications network linking the Outer Rim with the rest of the galaxy . She believed that the Triumvirate could not hold the galaxy together through brute strength and believed that the Triumvirate could only govern effectively with the consent of its inhabitants . Even as Empress , Fel saw herself as an Imperial Knight foremost and only expected obedience from her subordinates . Fel did not easily tolerate dissent and issued desertion charges against the young Knight Jao Assam , after learning that he had embarked on an unauthorized mission to hunt down the rogue Sith Darth Wredd . Fel did not respond to criticism easily and displayed anger on more than one occasions when her authority was questioned . As an Imperial Knight , Fel regarded her fellow Knights as brothers and sisters in arms . This camaraderie led her to initiate a campaign to hunt down war criminals in 139 ABY . Fel ' s desire to bring justice to the fallen Knight Teemen Alton led her to initiate criminal proceedings against her distant cousin Ania Solo , until evidence surfaced that exonerated her head . Her concern with the bigger strategic picture led her to ignore or sidestep certain pertinent issues . On one occasion , Fel initially did not regard Darth Wredd as a threat since he was indirectly helping the Triumvirate by killing members of the One Sith , who had infiltrated key government positions . On another occasion , Fel ' s concern with the Triumvirate ' s limited expenditure led her to oppose a mission to liberate Mon Calamari and Quarren slaves in the Calamari system ; a decision she later regretted . Despite her shortcomings , Marasiah was honorable and gracious enough to repay those who had helped her or those whom she held dear . Fel was gratified that Ania and Sauk had took the trouble to tend to her wounded lover and comrade , Draco . She also admired qualities like courage , loyalty , and leadership . Fel was sufficiently impressed by Ania ' s performance during the Battle of the Floating World to offer Solo a position as captain of her personal guard . Marasiah was also mature enough to accept Ania ' s decision to decline that position . Despite her powers and authority , Fel was wise enough to reform the Imperial Knights so that their loyalty would not be directed to the Empress alone , but rather the light side of the Force . While Fel welcomed the apparent destruction of the One Sith on Mala , she was skeptical that the Sith threat to the galaxy had not been vanquished for all time . Powers and abilities . Through the blood of her father and mother , Marasiah Fel was born with a strong connection to the Force , thus enabling her to draw upon its various powers as an Imperial Knight . She was skilled in basic techniques such as mind trick and telekinesis . She also possessed sufficient skills with a lightsaber which she used to defend herself against Sith opponents on a number of occasions . Due to her work as an emissary of the Fel Empire , Fel was fluent in several languages including Basic , Bocce , High Galactic and Huttese . Even as Empress , Fel was a skilled lightsaber duelist and a competent military commander . She preferred to lead her forces into combat in order to prove her abilities and skills as an Imperial Knight . Behind the scenes . Marasiah Fel first appeared as a supporting character in John Ostrander ' s " " Dark Horse comic series , which ran from 2006 to 2010 . On page 19 of " " , it was intended that Deliah Blue and Cade spend the night together . However , a coloring mistake in the issue showed Marasiah in place of Deliah . A corrected version of the page was published in " " , and it was also corrected in the . In a post on the Jedi Council Forums , Jan Duursema wrote that she considers Marasiah to be " about 18 . " This would mean she was born around 119 ABY . Fel later appeared in " " , a six - issue spinoff of the original " Legacy " series , which was released in 2011 . Marasiah Fel later reappeared in Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman ' s " " , the sequel to the original " Legacy " comic series , featuring Ania Solo , a descendant of the Original Trilogy character Han Solo . Following a fan query , the series ' editor Randy Stradley clarified that Fel ' s harsh reaction to another character Jao Assam ' s desertion stemmed from a " there have to be rules " standpoint rather than any personal animosity towards Jao . He confirmed that she was not going crazy like her late father Roan Fel . From Fel ' s standpoint , Jao had been given orders and he had chosen to ignore them .
