Estsana

**Estsana** is a female Human former inquisitor of the Inquisitorius. She disappeared after her death had been ordered by inquisitor Vitus Reyton and the Tatooine Imperial Embassy had been destroyed. She was last sighted on Dathomir.

## Biography

### Early Life

Estsana was discovered early in her life by the Jedi Order, to be trained as a Jedi youngling. While always possessed by a spirited temper, Estsana was showing no inclination towards giving in to her emotions, and was well on her way to becoming a Padawan at a typical age. In the latter years of her youngling training, several Jedi masters had noted her particular aptitude to the Force, and an affinity to the schools of Control and Sense.

Estsana was captured in the aftermath of Operation Knightfall by fallen Jedi Knight Elmari Krayl to be trained by her as her dark apprentice. After the formation of the Imperial Inquisitorius, Estsana became a candidate and continued her training under Elmari. Through the application of corporal punishment, sadistic torture and psychological indoctrination, Estsana was turned into a raving fanatic loyal only to Emperor Palpatine first and foremost, and eventually, after becoming an adult, was granted the rank of Inquisitor.

After the disappearance of the second Death Star, Estsana was amongst the few Inquisitors who sided against the Order's stance that Palpatine had died, and by chance and convenient timing of events, managed to evade the purge conducted by the Prophets of the Dark Side.

### Returning to the Galactic Stage

#### Opposing Vitus

Despite her survival and reinstation as an Imperial Inquisitor being largely down to the actions of Inquisitor Vitus Reyton, Estsana and the remaining members of the Old Guard thoroughly detested his approach to rebuilding their organisation, finding in particular the use of clones imbued with the Force to be an unforgiveable perversion of the Force. As such, she was secretly plotting for his disgrace or death. A lynchpin of this was attempting to build up a base of "properly" trained Inquisitors who would help oppose Vitus.

Estsana would take on several apprentices with her Master, including most notably Vashai Varkiss.

#### Inquisitorial Civil War

In light of the growing rivalry, culminating in Estsana executing rogue Investigator Arne Durane, the two major factions of Inquisitors were split from Carida to two different bases of operation. Estsana was named Acting Lead Inquisitor of the Forces stationed on Tatooine, where she continued to train her apprentice, and started plotting against apprentices of Vitus who continually trespassed onto what Estsana considered to be her own personal hunting grounds. This ultimately lead to an attempt to murder Vido Sreme and later, to the capture of Verya Nox.

The capture of one of Vitus' apprentices by the Old Guard was considered a step too far by most Imperial superiors, leading to the decision to be made that the remaining reserve of generation 4 and 5 Gene Troopers were to assault the location of the Old Guard base. Despite this, Estsana managed to escape death by leaking the presence of a large force of Gene Troopers to Bywing Lancer, leading to the orbital bombardment of the location. Amidst this chaos, Estana escaped in her cloaked fighter.

#### Rebuilding in hiding

Despite the setback of no longer being an Imperial Inquisitor, Estsana's fanatical loyalty to the Emperor's mission held fast, leading her to build up a new powerbase hidden on Dathomir.

## Personality

As an inquisitor, Estsana was an exceptionally cruel and uncompromising person, willing and eager to torture, maim or kill at any suitable opportunity without remorse. She was particularly fond of using her knowledge of Force Cloak to toy with her prey before killing them, or to spy on targets completely unseen. Estsana rarely allowed a fight to commence without her having a decisive advantage, and when this was not a given for her, she typically would retreat to make another attempt with the odds pitched better in her favour.
