## Fiirya'vyora'sabosen (Avyora)

*"If I have learned anything about this Sith Empire, it is that their leadership are largely concerned with the extention of their own power, and they will sacrifice everything to achieve that end. I worry for you, brother, for by becoming Sith you have embraced such a code. Be careful not to fall into their trap and be consumed by greed."*

- Aristocra Fiirya'vyora'sabosen to Ardaius

**Fiirya’vyora’sabosen** was a Chiss Female who served the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force, Imperial Intelligence, and Sith Intelligence as an agent, infiltrator, and assassin. Born into the noble House of Sabosen as the first of her generation, she would be responsible for taking the seat of her father on both the Chiss Parliament and the Council of Families. Before ascending to this position, she would request to serve her people in the CEDF, a request her mother and father would grant her after she completed the preliminary duties required to become a political representative of her people. Operating under the core name **Avyora** whilst in Imperial and Republic territory, she proved to be quick study of the up-and-coming military commander responsible for her training, Saganu.

Another responsibility Avyora took on was to occasionally visit and care for her younger brother, Fiirya'rdaiu'sabosen, the designated shadow child of her family. While his position was an important one, it forced him to remain a secret from greater Chiss society and therefore was an incredibly lonely way to live. A common misconception about the Chiss is that they lack emotion. In truth, Avyora cared for her brother dearly, and wanted to make sure that he grew up knowing he was loved by his family and had the opportunity to have a sibling's bond. Avyora quickly became the primary caregiver to Ardaius, visiting him as often as her schedule could allow and helping him to grow into a respectable young man. Chiss age, both mentally and physically, at a much faster rate than most other lifeforms. As a result, by the time Ardaius was 8, he had learned all that he could at their family estate, and asked his sister to take him to the Expeditionary Library, Chiss civilization's greatest compendium of knowledge. Avyora obliged him, but not without hesitation, for she was concerned of the risk posed by bringing him to such a public location. Using her family's rank to her advantage, she eliminated the risk by bringing Ardaius to a wing of the Library that was exclusive members of the Aristocra.

As she perused a series of datapads on the hierarchy of the Ascendancy, she felt a rumbling beneath her feet. She turned to see her brother levitating, the products of multiple shelves surrounding him like a whirlwind of which he was the center. She ran to him, cracks forming in the architecture surrounding her, and caught him in her arms as he fell from the air unconscious. When she noticed the datapad in his hand, and its subject matter relating to the treatment of force-sensitives throughout Chiss history. She too was unaware of the disdain that the greater society held against those who were afflicted with this genetic impurity, and that if he were to ever be the last of their line as his role was meant to prepare him for, this development could render their family's line moot given the correct circumstances. So, Avyora took up the issue with her parents, expressing her concerns. They recommended that he be treated with suppressive medication, however Avyora expressed that even trying to access such medicine would draw attention to her brother, who was meant to be a secret. That being said, if he could not learn to control his abilities, he and the family could be in significant danger. There was only one option: Ardaius had to be sent to those who could teach him how to use the Force.

After bringing her brother to the port of Csaplar, Avyora discreetly organized a place for Ardaius on an outbound shuttle to Dromund Kaas, promising him that she would keep in touch and make sure he was safe. After his departure, the Sabosen family employed a combination of their influence and the rather useful fact that Ardaius was not yet officially a member of Chiss society to exempt him from any potential exile from the Ascendancy as a result of him joining the Sith Order. It was Avyora's hope that, in time, no matter how long it might take, they could be reunited once again.

While Ardaius worked his way from acolyte to apprentice to Sith Lord, Avyora too made incredible progress within the Expansionary Defense Force. One of her earlier missions took her to Zero Station on Hoth, where she participated in the capture of the rogue imperial admiral Layek Davos. Deeming her ready for a more meaningful role within the military, Commander Saganu brought her into a highly confidential organization of Chiss spies known as 'the Eye of the Ascendancy' Reporting first and foremost to Commander Saganu, she participated in countless missions into the core worlds and the outer rim alike, publicly acting as an Imperial Agent while collecting data for the Defense Hierarchy. She grew hardened by her time working at the behest of Sith Empire, however, being asked to carry out many morally questionable and objectionable deeds including political sabotage and murder. Nonetheless, she carried out her orders for the benefit of the Ascendancy. This slightly improved after Imperial Intelligence's reorganization into Sith Intelligence, as a greater number of atrocities could be carried out by the other branches of the Empire. Lana Beniko proved a more reasonable and upstanding leader than previous Ministers of Intelligence. Eventually, Avyora was promoted to Spymaster of the Eye, and organized the operations and placements of agents across the Empire and Republic alike. In 3638 BBY, Ardaius reached out to his sister through another member of the Eye who he had discovered was keeping tabs on him on her behalf. Explaining that he required a new purpose with the demise of his former master, Qwenn Gallia, and would like nothing more than to serve the Ascendancy again, he asked to join her organization. Avyora accepted, and so she and her brother were united in service of their government.

When the campaign of Emperor Arcann of the Eternal Empire arrived in Ascendancy space, the responsibility to deal with him fell on Aristocra Saganu. Desiring the assistance of his most trusted advisors during what would certainly be a delicate negotiation, Avyora was summoned to Csaplar. In order to maintain stability within her organization, she temporarily promoted Ardaius to the role of Spymaster in her absence. Although the negotiations with Arcann went incredibly well thanks to Saganu's efforts, and the Ascendancy was allowed to retain much of its territory, Avyora discovered that her father and mother grew tired of leadership. She had served her people on the front lines for long enough; now the duty of her bloodline awaited fulfillment. As Saganu was promoted to Supreme Commander of the Defense Force for his success with the Eternal Empire, she too would take up the mantle of the Head of House Sabosen. It only seemed logical to her that the position of Spymaster remain in Ardaius' capable hands now that her responsibilities had multiplied significantly, and she convinced Saganu of the same. Under her rule, House Sabosen and its constituents would continue to prosper.
