## Biography

### Year 7 (19-22 ABY)

During the time of Year 7, the now 70 year old Yularen started noticing great difficulty in performing day to day tasks. In a yearly performance check from all acting admirals, he scored a very average 45/100 whilst at the beginning of the clone wars, he had always performed a near perfect score of at least 85. Part of this was also due to the immense stress he harboured whilst acting as admirals, making tough decisions every day and always being on the front lines with little to no breaks. He also experienced difficulties walking and due to a fall, surgery had to be done on his calve, he had to endure a year of recovery. Nonetheless, he vowed to retire only once the disastorous clone wars had ended.

### Year 8 (22-25 ABY)

Yularen was very active during Year 8 with the Sith Wars coming to a climax. During the battle of Downsend, a painful battle that lasted half a year, Yularen was forced to be on the front lines, as Supreme Admiral, feeding intel and strategy to over 1,000 commanders simultaneously. Moreover, he had to remain in close contact with Arya Skywalker and the 501st legion as well as various commando groups. At this point, even moving was a difficult prospect for him as he was forced to use a cybernetic walking stick to get around. When the Sith were finally defeated and Sidious was no more, Yularen was so ill that he couldn't even attend the celebration events. But he did watch the live holonet news covering.

### Post-battle of Downsend

Unfortunately, Yularen had no rest after the Battle of Downsend as his retirement request was denied with the Clone Wars regretfully still in full action. A week later he was contacted by Arya, asking Yularen to step up as interim chancellor whilst Skywalker was hunting down remaining Sith and imperials loyal to Sidious. Owing his old friend, Yularen accepted. He ventured back to Downsend where he took up the role. It was difficult for the frail Yularen as he hated listening to old men bicker about the Clone Wars and as such Yularen tried his hardest to be the best chancellor he could be trying to find a solution to Senate laws and debates. After four months of this, he was contacted by Commander Rex of the 501st legion who had knowledge that the Empire wasn't gone like they had thought. Yularen forwarded this to Arya. At a diplomatic event, a confederate senator, furious at Yularen's inability to make change threw a drink at his face and made an inappropriate gesture to him. After investigation by Republic medical personnel, the drink contained nanomachines that would slowly eat away at his flesh and nerves. After this, Yularen retired and Arya officially thanked him for everything he had done by throwing a lavish event which Yularen was deeply honored by.

### Retirement

The nanomachines made life even tougher for Yularen who was alone on his luxury home in Eriaudu, only guarded and accompanied by a squad of clone commandos who rarely ever engaged in conversation with who they were defending. By the end of 25 ABY, Yularen's face was covered in pimples and holes and at this point, he was coughing out blood. However, he never admitted or accepted that his role in the Clone Wars was a mistake, still greatly respecting and liking Arya and the war effort. Skywalker himself paid a visit to Yularen in Eriaudu and attempted to use the Avatar power to heal Yularen and ease his symptoms and pains. This was successful for the most part and Yularen's physical appearance returned to normal but his mental state was still a mess with the nanomachines having affected neural transponders in his brain. His mental state continued to decrease.

Fearing his death would come soon, Yularen summoned Commander Rex to meet with him on Eriaudu. They talked about the Clone Wars and the eventual liberation of Coruscant that was being planned, with Rex expressing his fears that Galius Rax was more dangerous than the Republic had previously thought. Sensing the fear in Rex, Yularen gave Rex a holobook and much advice of how to defeat an enemy with determination, will and skill with the book having been passed down from his family lineage, who had even been fighting against the Sith during the Old Republic era. Rex thanked Yularen and the two bid farewell.

Yularen's condition worsened, albeit slowly. His speech became slurred, speaking slowly and he began showing mild forms of memory loss and confusion. His last recorded contact with the outside world was in 26 ABY when he gave Arya some advice regarding Gallius Rax, whp he had dealt with beforehand. Months after, Yularen died in his sleep peacefully.

### Legacy

Yularen's legacy was not forgotten. He died only days before Coruscant was liberated and hours before Rex sacrificed himself to save the Republic. To Rex' knowledge, Yularen had outlived him. Arya Skywalker commemorated Yularen by naming a new kyber-powered Star Destroyer Class the *Wulf Yularen Class Star Destroyer .* These star destroyers were actually some of the most powerful in the Republic fleet and were instrumental in defeating the Yuhzan Vong. Yularen had no children of his own, obsessed with his role for the Republic, but he had numerous siblings who produced offspring. The only recorded descendant of Yularen was Colonel Garin Yularen who died in the final years of the Yuhzan Vong War. It is unknown if any other descendants survived Garin.
