==Biography==
Ethan Adare was a Human who served the Fel Empire as a representative of the Imperial Mission, which was designed to promote Emperor Roan Fel's "Victory Without War" initiative, in the years leading up to the Sith–Imperial War. In 130 ABY, at the end of the war, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt seized the Imperial throne from Fel.Legacy (2006) 1 Adare continued to serve the Imperial Mission as a part of Krayt's Empire and by 137 ABY was assigned to the Imperial Mission's station on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine in the city of Mos Eisley.
In that same year, Adare met the Zeltron Deliah Blue—who was pretending to be an Imperial Missionary in order to find a trivalve assembly needed to fix her crew's ship, the Mynock—in Mos Eisley. She introduced herself to Adare as "Astraal Vao" and asked where the local mission house was. Despite knowing that Blue was lying about her identity due to a previous meeting with Vao, Adare offered to take her there. On the way, she claimed that a farmer who had helped her needed a new trivalve assembly for his transport. After they arrived at the mission house, Blue listened to Adare's views on the local Imperial Mission and the organization's role in the galaxy, but she reminded Adare that the farmer needed the trivalve assembly. Adare retrieved the part and traveled with Blue to Mos Eisley's spaceport.
After arriving at the Mynock location in the spaceport, Adare was held at gunpoint by Blue, who instructed the Human to give her the trivalve assembly and leave the spaceport. However, Adare hinted at alerting the local authorities and suggested that death was the only way to ensure the Imperial Missionary's silence. When Blue grew frustrated, Adare told her that she was not really Astraal Vao. She revealed her true identity to Adare and began weeping over the fact that her inability to install the trivalve assembly would lead to the Black Sun crime syndicate finding and killing Cade Skywalker and Jariah Syn, two of her friends. After hearing this, Adare gave her the part for the Mynock, stating that she should have asked for assistance in the beginning. The Missionary then offered help in installing the trivalve assembly on the Mynock, much to Blue's surprise. With Adare's assistance, Blue was able to successfully repair the Mynock and leave Tatooine.
