Vekkian was a Force - sensitive female Human who was raised by the Jedi Order with no knowledge of her homeworld or her family , and by the time of the Clone Wars , she had become a Jedi Padawan . However , after the end of the conflict , she was discovered by the Inquisitorius , an order of Dark Side Adepts who served the newly - formed Galactic Empire , which was tasked with hunting down the surviving Jedi . The Inquisitorius turned her to the dark side and she agreed to serve the Empire . After undergoing military training , she was commissioned as an officer in the Imperial Navy . Vekkian attained the rank of lieutenant and commanded a squad of Imperial Navy trooper s who , due to her harsh style , became some of the toughest and skilled men in the Imperial Navy . In circa 17 BBY , Imperial Admiral Gilder Varth infiltrated the Alderaanian Resistance , an anti - Imperial resistance group based on Alderaan . When a team of Resistance agents completed a mission on Coruscant , a Resistance task force was sent to wait for them at a rendezvous point near the planet . Varth betrayed the Resistance task force ' s location to the Empire and an Imperial task force under the command of Inquisitor Valin Draco was sent to eliminate the group . Vekkian and her squad accompanied him and they were part of a boarding party that landed aboard the Alderaanian command ship , the EF76 Nebulon - B escort frigate " Resurgence " . Draco captured Denia , a Jedi Master who had allied herself with the Resistance , and took her to the " Resurgence " landing bay . Vekkian and her squad were present there while he and his prisoner left the ship in his shuttle , and afterward , they took up positions near the last Imperial shuttle left on the ship . Soon , a group of Alderaanian Resistance fighters , who had been carrying out assignments for Denia , arrived at the hangar , though too late to rescue her . Vekkian noticed their presence and ordered her squad to open fire on them . She then ignited her lightsaber and used battle meditation to prepare herself for combat . The naval troopers gave her covering fire , while she tried to attack the Resistance fighters . The battle was a victory for the Empire and the " Resurgence " was destroyed shortly afterward , while the surviving Alderaanian ships were forced to flee . Personality and traits . Misha Vekkian was a tall woman , with an athletic build ; blonde , close - cropped hair ; and blue eyes . Vekkian blamed the Jedi for her fall to the dark side , as she believed that if she had been left with her parents , then her Force sensitivity might never have been discovered . She was very cruel to the troops who served under her and she would kill any of them who did not succeed in their goals , which caused them to both fear and respect her . Her squad was apprehensive of her and this made them completely loyal ; they believed that if they even considered taking her down , she would be able to read their minds and stop them . She was spiteful and never forgot any sleight that she perceived to be against her . She was also vindictive and knew no mercy . Although she carried a blaster pistol , she preferred to fight with her lightsaber instead . Powers and abilities . Vekkian had learned how to use the ancient technique of battle meditation , preferring to employ it before entering combat . When in combat , her favored tactic was to deflect the blaster bolts fired at her by an enemy , while she got close enough to them to engage them in combat with her lightsaber . She also employed telekinesis to move and grip objects , in addition to channeling her rage , which she could use to augment her fighting skills . Behind the scenes . Misha Vekkian made her first and only appearance in " A Reckoning of Wraiths " , the seventh scenario in the " Dawn of Defiance " campaign , written by Gary Astleford — a Wizards of the Coast online supplement to the " Star Wars Roleplaying Game " . In the supplement , the player characters fight Vekkian and her squad , so her ultimate fate depends upon their actions and it is possible for them to kill her . If they do so , then her squad retreats back to the remaining Imperial shuttle and leaves the " Resurgence " .
