Bera Kazan

*Homebrew Reference Book: Clone Wars Saga Edition Fan Sourcebook - Criminals*

*Affiliations: The Fringe*

Bera Kazan is a ruthless smuggler and mercenary for hire, running with some of the most lethal beings in the galaxy. She is well-known for her penchant for ancient, rare technological devices, and is considered something of an expert in the field. When Cydon Prax is tasked by Count Dooku to assemble a team of archaeologists to locate, unearth and repair The Dark Reaper, Bera Kazan is one of the first names on his list. The pay was astronomical, something of a dream job for Bera, who immediately accepts. On Raxus Prime, the team searched for the Force Harvester, locating it just before Republic forces swooped down upon the planet, barely a month after the Battle of Geonosis.

When Bera pieces together what the Force Harvester actually did, she tries to get out of her contract, but Dooku merely imprisons her onboard his flagship as he flees Raxus Prime. Anakin Skywalker had stowed away onboard, but was soon captured by Dooku, who imprisoned him alongside Bera. Upon landing at Alaris Prime, the two are put in a Separatist detention facility and told they would die as test targets for the Force Harvester, which had just been activated.

Desperate, the pair manage to escape their cell and steal a pair of STAPs. Together, Bera and Anakin speed through the dense forests, warning Wookiee villages to evacuate while trying to outrun the Force Harvester's annihilation wave. Bera and Anakin only just outran the deadly energies, and stopped at a nearby village where a local informed them that the Separatists had enslaved most of the Wookiee population and attacks were constant. Bera and Anakin are determined to get a message out to the Republic to request reinforcements; unfortunately the pair is without any transport of their own, and are forced to charge a Separatist communications facility upon two beasts outfitted with rail cannons.

Bera and her Jedi companion quickly overwhelm the base defenses and acquire an AAT-1, which Bera uses to cover Anakin as he enters the facility and makes his call for reinforcements. Together, they fight their way back to the village, constructing traps to slow a Separatist assault, hopeful they could hold out for Jedi Master Kenobi and his troops. Bera and Anakin fight against wave after wave of Battle Droids, though at a heavy cost to the villagers; by the time Kenobi's forces arrive, much of the fighting is already done. Bera is allowed to go free afterward, eventually recovering her ship, The *Sarpazian Rose*, and returning to life as a mercenary.
