Wynssa Fel Wynssa Fel , called Wyn by her family , was the younger daughter of General Baron Soontir Fel and Syal Antilles Fel . An exuberant and excitable child , she could also be serious and military - minded , a quality expected in one raised among the strict Chiss in the harsh Unknown Regions — first on Nirauan within the Empire of the Hand and then on Csilla , the capital of the Chiss Ascendancy . In 28 ABY , while still in her early teens , Fel helped Jacen Solo , Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker , Saba Sebatyne , and Danni Quee research the location of Zonama Sekot when they arrived at the Expeditionary Library on Csilla . During the course of that research , she was kidnapped by the duplicitous Chief Navigator Peita Aabe as part of a plot against her father . She was quickly rescued by Solo , foiling the plot and enabling her to help them finally find Sekot ' s location . Fel continued life in the Unknown Regions after that , becoming the only surviving Fel daughter and one of only three living Fel children by 35 ABY , with Chak , Davin , and Cherith dead and only herself , Jagged , and Cem alive . Biography . Childhood . Wynssa Fel was born to General Baron Soontir Fel and Syal Antilles Fel in the Unknown Regions , their second daughter . Soontir was a former Imperial fighter ace , and Syal a former actress under the stage name Wynssa Starflare , which gave Wynssa Fel her name . Soontir and Syal had moved to Nirauan in the Unknown Regions in 5 ABY in order to serve Grand Admiral Mitth ' raw ' nuruodo ' s Empire of the Hand , battling various threats to galactic civilization and the Chiss Ascendancy , Thrawn ' s home society . Fel , raised on Nirauan , had four older siblings : brothers Chak , Davin , and Jagged as well as sister Cherith . Her brother , Cem , was the family ' s shadow child , raised in complete secrecy in order to secure the future of the family line in the event of attack by rivals , a Chiss custom . All her older siblings went into the military , leaving Fel at home with Cem . Among the militaristic Imperials and Chiss , Fel developed a military outlook herself , seeing battle against threats to peace as a duty . Fel was taught to pilot , presumably by her father , and liked to take out the family yacht " Starflare " , though Cem was frequently at the controls . Fel suffered the loss of her siblings early in her life , with Davin dying by 19 ABY and Cherith by 25 ABY . In 25 ABY , Jagged was sent back to the known regions of the galaxy to aid the New Republic in the Yuuzhan Vong War . Through it all , Fel remained at home with her mother and Cem , and by 28 ABY the Empire of the Hand had ceased to exist as a unit , with the Fels joining the Chiss Ascendancy . Fel and her family moved to Csilla , the Chiss capital , and continued life there . Fel spent much time in the Expeditionary Library , becoming familiar with much of the material stored therein . Kidnapping . In 28 ABY , Fel and her mother heard that an expedition from the known galaxy had arrived at the Expeditionary Library . They traveled there and encountered Saba Sebatyne and Danni Quee , representatives of a Galactic Alliance mission seeking Zonama Sekot , which they felt could be key to winning the Yuuzhan Vong War . Her mother was briefly embarrassed by Fel ' s impertinence in asking Sebatyne questions and remarking on her species traits , but Fel was then embarrassed by Syal ' s outburst against the mission . Syal feared the Jedi in fact wished to push the Chiss into the Yuuzhan Vong War and risk Soontir ' s life as Jagged ' s was being risked . Sebatyne explained that that was not their mission , but also that one way or the other , conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong would come . Fighting them in unity would better everyone ' s chances . This was in fact the way Fel felt about the situation . Fel volunteered to stay behind and aid the party in their search for information , which Syal allowed her to do . She was joined in the search for information by Jacen Solo , with whom she was somewhat taken . She asked him many questions about his life and pressed him on his pacifistic philosophy . She was left with only Solo and Commander Hess ' irolia ' nuruodo when the other members of the party left to move their ship . During their conversation , Fel mentioned Cem , information that eventually worked its way back to the Chiss in 35 ABY , when Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker mentioned the name to Chiss Aristocra Chaf ' orm ' bintrano ; Formbi , however , was convinced that Fel was acting on her father ' s orders in leaking the information . During her time in the library , her father ' s subordinate , Chief Navigator Peita Aabe , entered the library and summoned her to come with him on the orders of her father . She complied , but became increasingly suspicious and fearful that something was wrong . Traveling through the corridors , she wanted to know why Aabe was transporting her through the iceway s rather than by ice - barge . Once they reached the iceway terminus , Fel demanded that Aabe contact her father and prove his orders . Aabe drew his weapon on her , causing Solo and Irolia , who had also been suspicious and followed , to intervene . Solo disarmed Aabe and subdued him , with Fel taking his blaster . Her father and the rest of the party had likewise come under attack by Soontir ' s political enemies , but that attack had been stopped as well . Fel was left very impressed by Solo ' s rescue . They returned to the library , where Fel helped run the search that found Zonama Sekot ' s likely location , sending the team off in search of it . Later life . With the conclusion of the war in 29 ABY , Fel was able to celebrate Jagged ' s return to Csilla , first as a liaison with the Galactic Alliance and then as an officer in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force , but this was counterbalanced by Fel ' s loss of her brother Chak , the third Fel to die . In 36 ABY , the Fels were dishonored and diminished in power by the actions of the Jedi Lowbacca , taken after Jagged granted his parole as an officer of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force ; at the same time , Jagged was himself lost to a crash on Tenupe . While Jagged was recovered two years later , he was exiled , never to be able to return . It was only in 40 ABY , with the death of the Chiss enemy Alema Rar at Jagged ' s hands that the family ' s honor was restored . Personality and traits . Fel was outgoing , with little inhibition in her speech with others , saying what was on her mind . Though Fel had a reputation for saying far more than she should , at least one canny Chiss politician was convinced she leaked only what information her cunning father wanted to become known . Full of energy but stifled on isolated Csilla , she sought excitement in her life and was eager to help the Galactic Alliance party when they arrived on Csilla . She harbored a hope to one day leave the Unknown Regions and see Coruscant and the wider galaxy , and sought to learn all she could about the wider galaxy . Despite her youthful exuberance , she had a mature outlook on the requirements of life and the nature of combat , accepting it as her duty to enter battle when required . She personally preferred to take the fight to the Yuuzhan Vong , regarding conflict with them as inevitable , though Chiss society preferred to stay safely in the Unknown Regions . Behind the scenes . While the novel " " established that the Fels had five children , no information was revealed about Wynssa Fel until her appearances in " " by Sean Williams and Shane Dix , which remains her only appearance to date . She is referred to only as " Wyn " in " Refugee " ; it was not until a mention in " " that her full name was given as " Wynssa . " In " Refugee " , she is mistakenly identified once as " Wyn Antilles . "
