Cora Kenta was a Human female from Dantooine. Born during the reign of the Galactic Empire in 5 BBY, Cora's force sensitivity was kept a secret by her parents to protect her from the Empire. During events between 1 BBY and 5 ABY, both of Cora's parents are murdered by Lord Ukerin and she was taken by Jedi Master, Zarch to train to become a Jedi on Yavin (Yavin 4).

## **Biography**

### Early life

Spoken highly of by the majority of the Jedi Masters during her time at the Yavin Jedi Academy, Cora was placed under the close mentorship of Master Zarch, she quickly exceeded all expectations that were set before her, though some grew concerned about her quick temper and feared it could lead her to turn to the darkside, if left unchecked. In 11 ABY Cora was sent to Taris to assist with ongoing peacekeeping missions, following group disputes. She wouldn't return to the Yavin academy until 14 ABY when she learnt of her Master's death at the hands of Darth Surect.

### Darth Lux, Fall to the Darkside

Cora was devastated to hear about Zarch's death and struggled to resist the temptation of taking revenge, she hated Darth Surect but knew that Zarch wouldn't wish for her to take that path and give into her anger. Upon arriving back on Yavin, the planet was attacked by Darth Surect and his dreadnaught star destroyer "The Eliminator" with the intent of wiping out all life on Yavin. Cora joined up with Curtis Maverick and Drent Startreader's crew and after Drent's sacrifice created an opening in the Sith's defence, they boarded the vessel. Cora made a beeline for Surect immediately, taking on his apprentice Brruz Vann and three other Sith Acolytes before facing Darth Surect directly. During their duel it became clear that Cora was no match for Surect, her new priority was ensuring the escape of her allies by holding back Surect, she did for as long as she could, just as she was about to be struck down, a barrage of fire hit the bridge and destroyed it almost enterally. It was Brruz Vann. He had retreated after his defeat to a different cruiser and seeing an opening to take the mantle of dark lord and fired on the eliminator, killing Darth Surect and putting Cora on the brink of death. Her lifeless body was recovered from the wreckage by Vann's soldiers and she was taken to a facility on Hoth where SIA medical droids saved her life. The now new Lord of the Sith Brruz Vann waited until Cora was heathy enough and began torturing her almost endlessly. He believed due to Cora Kenta's ability to face off against Darth Surect for as long as she did, she would make the perfect new apprentice. For the longest time Cora refused to break, she held out hope that the Jedi would come to save her, not knowing that they believed she had died in the explosion on the eliminator's bridge but as weeks turned to months, Cora's mind finally broke and she gave in to Lord Vann and surrendered herself to becoming his new apprentice, being given the title of Darth Lux.

### Return to the Light

As Lord Brruz Vann's new apprentice Darth Lux's primary objective was to slow "The Outcasts" crew for as long as she could so that her master could complete his plans. Lux did this mainly by attacking "The Outcasts" crew on multiple occasions, most well known was on Tatooine where Juno Jyll would defeat and injure Lux but instead of killing her, she left her alive telling her that Cora Kenta was truly dead and that Darth Lux was a shell of her former self. Ultimately Darth Lux achieved her goal of delaying "The Outcasts" crew long enough for Vann to complete his goal of creating a superweapon capable of absorbing the force from planets, the first testing site would Nar Shaddaa. "The Outcasts" crew attempted to stop Vann but were captured in to possess and forced to watch as the weapon was fired. Vann then went on to reveal that his plan had always been to ensure he would be the only force user in the galaxy, this was not what Lux was told. She had allowed herself to be deceived and in realising Vann's betrayal she broke free of his control, She had fallen and betrayed all that she cared for as well as Master Zarch's wish, she needed to make this right. Vann commanded Darth Lux to execute her former friends, she approached Juno, Jyll pleaded with Lux not to follow through with what she was instructed. With a tear in her eye, she looked into Juno's and told her "Run" before shooting out force lightning at the guards around the crew and leaping up to the platform Vann was on and ignited her double-bladed saber, attacking her sith master, Cora Kenta had returned.
