Sorel Verella

**Sorel Verella DTM CG**, also known as **Vane**, was a Corellian human gunslinger, ace pilot, and slight Force Sensitive from the Skyriver (Suetai Luviyao) galaxy. Active during the Clone Wars, she was a charismatic and dashing woman, skilled with her flaming pocket pistol called 'Brand', as well as being incredibly hard to pin down and a whiz with technology. She fought fast and low, being hard to get to. As well as Brand, her speed was enhanced by her custom-built jetpack and her wrist-mounted grappling gun.

### Died

Killed in a duel against Dengar on Crait in 19BBY

### Allegiance

Grand Army of the Republic (contracted as an infiltrator and pilot)

## Early Life

Sorel was born in Coronet City around 50BBY, and grew up there in the industrial districts. After joining the Desst Corp as a starship mechanic, she got a job that allowed her to transfer off-world when she was in her twenties.

Around this time, she met a Chiss spice runner from Tatooine named Rinääda and the two soon fell in love. The pair later had a half-human, half-chiss daughter named Maarya Verella in the year -30BBY. Maarya would go on to have a daughter, Lyra Verella, who would become rather important...

## Killing Bossk in 21BBY

Sometime later in her life, Sorel Verella was contracted by the Grand Army of the Republic in 21BBY as a tech expert. Sorel accompanied a small strike team into a mysterious Geonosian base sending unusual signals, on the southern pole of the planet - some of her teammates included the merc Varian 'Utapau Sparrow' Zet, a clone commando called 'Brick', a Jedi named Seven Star, and a Lurmen called Zappo.

They infiltrated the base, with Sorel drawing down on several aggressive Geonosians and twirling Brand as she put them down. Barely a shot hit her, as she fanned her gun cowboy style and dusted off her shoulders. She was deft and fast, avoiding the landmines Bossk laid out as traps. She also carried around Zappo, giving him her mobility as he unleashed torrents of crackling lightning. Putting her specialist skills to good use, she also sliced most the locked doors the group were stopped by.

In the final chamber, she and her team fought the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk, and his C-B3 experimental battle droid. Sorel's aim was true, and she placed several perfectly-lined-up shots into its armour to great effect. As Bossk levelled his rifle at the heavily wounded Brick, Sorel closed her eyes, clasped her golden pair of six-sided dice in her pocket, and muttered a prayer. She never believed in the Force much, but it was worth a shot, eh? To her surprise it worked - she could have sworn the shot almost bent around Brick and left him standing, as he unloaded an octet of grenades onto the poor prototype.

Strafing out of cover again, she also put a perfect shot into the momentarily restrained Bossk, and blew the smoke off her gun with a flourish as Zappo fried Bossk to a crisp and vaporised him. Sorel was commended by the GAR heavily for her role in killing Bossk, receiving a Distinguished Team Medal and a Cross of Glory.

## Death at the hands of Dengar

As the Clone Wars escalated, Sorel decided it was high time to step back out of the line of fire, lest she get seriously injured and not be able to care for her daughter Maarya. But alas, it was not to be. With a moderate bounty placed on her head by the Separatists after the death of Bossk, and the personal connections and implications of her actions, it was only right that the bounty hunter known as Dengar ended up hunting her down. As she fled far and wide, he tracked her to the planet Crait, where she faced him down in the year 19BBY. In their old-fashioned style duel, Sorel wounded Dengar heavily but was herself killed. Sorel never got to see the end of the Clone Wars. Meanwhile, Dengar then spent some time recovering from his wounds.
