Summary
|
Dev Sibwarra was a human boy who was born on Chandrila. His mother, Ydra, was a Padawan who had left the Jedi Order before her training was completed; as such, she survived Order 66 and the early stages of the Great Jedi Purge. Prior to 2 BBY, Dev and his family moved to the Outer Rim colony world of G'rho to escape detection from the Galactic Empire. Shortly afterwards, G'rho was attacked by the Ssi-ruuk - a saurian species who ruled a sizeable interstellar empire in the far reaches of the Unknown Regions.Dev survived the invasion though his parents were killed during the fighting. He was found by a Ssi-ruuk scouting party who noted that the boy possessed strange powers. This saved Dev from being consigned to entechment - a means of electronically transferring the life-energy of a person into a power source for a mechanical construct. Such was the fate of the other surviving captives, whom the Ssi-ruuk regarded as inferior and expendable lesser beings.Sibwarra was taken to the Ssi-ruuvi capital world of Lwhekk where he was brainwashed and indoctrinated by Elder Sh'tk'ith. Over time, he came to regard Sh'tk'ith and the Entechment Master Firwirrung as "family" despite their abuses. Following the death of Emperor Palpatine during the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Dev was part of a Ssi-ruuvi expeditionary force which invaded the remote Outer Rim world of Bakura.During the invasion, he was put to work calming the human captives slated for entechment onboard the flagship Shriwirr. When an Alliance task force under the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker arrived, Dev sensed his presence and power. Following a joint Alliance-Imperial attack which forced the Ssi-ruuvi into a temporary retreat, Sibwarra informed his masters of the Jedi's arrival.Hoping to use Skywalker as a means of enteching more sentients from a far distance, the Ssi-ruuvi contacted the Imperial Governor Wilek Nereus who agreed to handover Skywalker in exchange for a full retreat. Later, Sibwarra and a Ssi-ruuvi team succeeded in capturing the Jedi on Bakura but not before Skywalker ministered and healed Dev of his indoctrination through the Force. Having captured Skywalker, the Ssi-ruuk then launched a second attack on Bakura but were fiercely resisted by the Alliance and Imperial starships.On the Shriwirr, the Ssi-ruuk attempted to entech Skywalker but were thwarted by Dev who had overcome his indoctrination. With the help of Luke, the two Force-sensitive individuals fought their way through the ship; forcing the Ssi-ruuk into a retreat due to their religious fear of dying on an "unconsecrated world". Skywalker sensed Dev's potential as a member of his new Jedi Order. However, this was tragically cut short when Sibwarra was fatally wounded when the Shriwirr was bombarded by the Imperial cruiser Dominant. Despite medical treatment by an Imperial medic onboard the freighter Millennium Falcon, Sibwarra died due to the severe nature of his wounds. Read more... |
