Visas Marr was a Miraluka female from the Mid Rim world of Katarr who lived during the time of the Jedi Civil War and the period of unrest that followed in its wake. In 3952 BBY, Jedi Master Atris held a Conclave at Katarr with the remaining Jedi from the First Jedi Purge, whilst purposely leaking the event's whereabouts to the Sith Triumvirate and orchestrators of the Purge, in hopes of drawing them out. However, the plan backfired, and Darth Nihilus, one of the Triumvirate's leaders, consumed all organic life on the planet, striking a devastating blow to the Jedi Order. However, Nihilus left Visas Marr alive on Katarr; she was taken aboard the Sith Lord's flagship, the Ravager, and was made his apprentice. Thus, a Force bond was forged between the two. Warped into a servant of the dark side of the Force, Marr later traveled with Nihilus beyond the Outer Rim, before being dispatched in 3951 BBY to the galaxy to seek out a growing presence in the Force and bring its cause before Nihilus.Marr found the center of the phenomenon she sought: a former Jedi, exiled by the Order before Nihilus's rise to power, who had returned to known space. She ambushed and challenged the exiled Jedi, Meetra Surik who defeated Marr. Impressed by Surik's abilities and the destiny that she perceived about her, Marr allowed herself to be swayed to the light. Forsaking her master, Nihilus, she became an informal apprentice to Surik, teaching the elder ex-Jedi about the power of her Force-sensitive species.The Miraluka traveled with Surik and aided in her endeavor to save the Jedi Order by locating those Jedi Masters who had been absent from the convocation. Later that year, Marr played an instrumental part in resolving the Battle of Telos IV, in which she met her former master in battle, and triumphed. In the process, she overcame the remaining shadows of her past, coming to terms with the destruction of her people. Soon afterward, Surik confronted and defeated the two surviving members of the Triumvirate, Darth Traya and Darth Sion, at Malachor V, ending the Sith's program to eradicate the Jedi. Shortly before her death at the hands of Surik, Darth Traya prophesied of Marr's return to Katarr and her pivotal role in rebuilding the Jedi Order. Read more... |
