| Born on the harsh and forbidding world of Iridonia, Kara was no stranger to working hard in order to survive. Even being born into a well-to-do family didn't in any way negate the rigors of life. All Iridonians, Kara included, trained not only for survival, but for their Res Selenoren, a Clan test that they would take before the age of 15. Kara took hers at the age of 8, and passed it, gaining the markings she wears today, and a place in her Clan's order. She was also home-schooled, where she studied languages, science, and maths. | | Born on the harsh and forbidding world of Iridonia, Kara was no stranger to working hard in order to survive.

| {{On Notice}}
| | The Vong war was not an easy time for anyone. Even less so for Zabrak warrior and Krath Priestess Kara Incendia Zor-El. She had watched many of her friends and Clan mates get injured or killed during the all-out bloodshed that ended, but all too late, in a lot of estimations. Homes and families torn apart by the violence of the ordeal, friends and family losing people they loved. The rift the war caused was not just political and societal, it was personal. Too many people made the ultimate sacrifice, and those left behind grieved the loss of those they loved, as well as their own innocence. It looked as though nothing good would come of this war. Nothing good COULD come out of this war. Or, was that untrue? Maybe there was yet some good to come from all this, and all one had to do was look with the eyes of one’s heart. |

History
Youth
Born on the harsh and forbidding world of Iridonia, Kara was no stranger to working hard in order to survive. Even being born into a well-to-do family didn't in any way negate the rigors of life. All Iridonians, Kara included, trained not only for survival, but for their Res Selenoren, a Clan test that they would take before the age of 15.
Kara took her trials at the age of 8, and passed it, gaining the markings she wears today, and a place in her Clan's order. Every Iridonianʼs Clan Trials were different, but usually centered on a comprehension of history, athletics, and survival skills. She excelled at all of them, and was given a choice of her markings. She took the dark violet markings of the nobility from which her family was descended. Also, during her formative years, she was home-schooled, and studied a variety of languages, sciences, and maths.
She enjoyed languages, and learned to speak at least 6 of them fluently. Among those in which she was fluent were: Miralukese, Dromnyr (spoken by the natives of Vulta), Umbarese (spoken by the natives of Umbara), Chalactan (spoken by natives of Chalacta), and Hapan. She also spoke the dialects of Zabraki found on her home world of Iridonia, as well as heavily accented Galactic Basic.
Teen Years
Her teen years were divided between her home world of Iridonia, and the Imperial Academy. She learned various forms of hand-to-hand combat as well as the use of weapons, and vehicles.
