Character History

Early Years (1-19 ABY)

Kyra Starfire was born on Dathomir to Adrianna Starfire a Rebel Alliance intelligence agent who was escaping from imperial imprisonment. Stealing a ship she was pursued by imperial fighters whose persistence caused Adrianna to crash land on Dathomir. Adrianna survived the crash and surprisingly so too did the child she carried. Knowing she was pregnant and about to give birth fueled the daring escape, but now she was stuck on a planet about to be inhabited by the empire. Adrianna walked far from the crash where she stumbled upon a Nightsister clan. The Nightsisters sensed something about this woman and took her in. Kyra was born several months afterward, and because she was a girl the Nightsisters let her live and adopted into the clan because of a strong connection to the force.

Now when Kyra was about seven one of the Nightsister’s told her about the circumstances she came to be with the clan and her mother was killed in a fight with imperial troops on Dathomir. Even as a child Kyra showed exceptional skills, learning to talk at a very young age, and doing her first Dark force rituals by age of five. The Clan knew she would become a very powerful Nightsister. By the age of twelve Kyra had already picked up the sword and began to duel with another young clan member. As she matured Kyra became immersed with the darkside, but even though her knowledge of nightsister powers grew Kyra focused on her weapons training more, preferring to use the force only when needed to gain victory, and after her sword skills failed.

Proving herself time and again in battles with outsiders and other Dathomiri witch clans, mastering the control of the Rancors and her combat skills enhanced deeply with the dark force Kyra Starfire, at seventeen, became a full fledged Nightsister and was given a tattoo across her eyes and along her nose, as a symbol of her new status within the clan. Around this time Kyra was beginning to have strange visions.

Escape from Dathomir (19-21 ABY)

It was around the age of nineteen that Kyra had a vision of her mother when she was in the rebellion and of her missions within the empire gathering intelligence. A beautiful and strong woman, with graceful features Adrianna was dedicated to the cause of the rebellion, and Kyra felt this in her visions, she also saw a mysterious clouded figure that maybe her father, a pilot. The visions were compounded by a silver pendant, it was her mother's given to her by her father that had a personnal dedication inscription with the name Adrianna Starfire. It was also through these experiences and in dreams that her mother’s escape from the empire was shown to her, and then the truth about her death. One of the now elders of the clan had killed Adrianna over possession of the child and because she had opposed her child to learn to wield the powers of the darkside of the force.

Kyra also began to have dreams of the Sith and what they did to the republic, but also dreams that went even further back in history, she saw the dark Jedi and their power. It did not matter to Kyra now as she was consumed by her dark powers, but the way of the Nightsisters no longer would be her way, she was destined to find the Dark Jedi, if they still existed. Kyra was consumed with rage over the death of her mother and sought revenge. Armed with her blade she dueled the Elder Nightsister who killed Adrianna, Kyra mercilessly slaughtered the Clan Elder then ran for fear of her life eventually coming to a shipping port. Hiding among some cargo in one of the cargo ships she fled as a stowaway from Dathomir in search of a new life, and answers to her past, never to return .

The ship belonged to a spacer named Dak Orden who found Kyra in his cargo bay, not angry with the Dathomiri he allowed her to travel after she told him her story. Dak was slightly older than Kyra originating from Coruscant, his history is uneventful but found a career as a pilot of cargo ships for various corporations. He knew a great deal about the Jedi and there new republic as well as the past imperial reign. He did not fear Kyra for what she was as she her self has began to shed her old ways. The new Kyra was now hating the Nightsisters for what they have done and their teachings of Dark-sided magic was unappealing. It also began during this time that Kyra fell for Dak as he is the only man she ever was close too. After the escape from Dathomir Kyra Starfire had tagged along as Dak had finished unloading his cargo on various core worlds, it was after he had dropped off his last shipment they had decided to leave the core worlds for the far off regions of the galaxy, in search of answers and a new life.

Wanderers (21-27 ABY)

As the years past Dak and Kyra grew closer in their relationship, the first time in the young Dathomiri’s life she had been so close to a human male. Their travels took them to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, and saw many things and met many different cultures and species. Kyra honed her swordsmanship skills and learned new fighting techniques from various beings. They also had to fight many battles as well, as now the two had found new ways of earning a living, mostly from the sell of trinkets and artifacts found on different worlds. Occasionally they had resorted to smuggling and once bounty hunting, but that was short lived. Kyra’s life changed forever when one day she finally met with a Dark Jedi. It was on a trading mission when a Dark Jedi happened to be at the same local. He was quite interested in Kyra, sensing her abilities, and apparently had been following her for sometime. This mysterious hooded figure came over to the young female, but trying to fight the powerful figure proved pointless. Kyra’s swords were ripped apart from his lightsaber at the start of the attack. Then Dak came for his move, and was struck down, in her rage Kyra found her dark power again, and lashed out with such force that she managed to take the Dark Jedi’s lightsaber and pierced his torso. Before he died a whisper in Kyra’s ear told her what she sought since her escape from Dathomir. Still overcome by Dak’s loss she followed the words of the mysterious Dark Jedi finding the Shadow Academy and passing into the ranks of the Dark Jedi.

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood (27 ABY)

Kyra Starfire was now an apprentice of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and a member of House Exar Kun of Clan Plagueis. When first joining the Brotherhood, a task was set, to identify herself with one of the three orders. Kyra with her love of battle and warrior training joined the obelisk order in hopes of mastering the art of war and the many new fighting skills waiting to be learned. Power was gained and quickly went up the ranks to Protector. She was proving to be a great asset to her clan and proving herself worthy of becoming a full-fledged Dark Jedi Knight. Soon things would change. Visions began to plague the young protector once again. This time of a shadowy figure beckoning her. This figure, a human male, was somehow known to Kyra though they never met. She kept training and doing tasks set before her by her superiors. Once promoted to Guardian, her strength in the Dark powers grew and her visions got harder to live with. In order to silence this interference to further learning the ways of the Dark Jedi, Kyra decided to take a hiatus from the Brotherhood and seek out her visions once again.

Rogue (27-29 ABY)

Taking the cargo ship she came in, Kyra exited the Jusadih System and headed toward the unknown, lead only by her visions, the force, and the power of the strange robed figure. On a planet, not to be named, the young dark jedi landed greeted by the robed man. The man stared at her, while Kyra examined him, and saw a lightsaber under his robes. He did not fight her; instead uncovered his face, and the features, very much like Kyra, frightened the Dathomiri. Alarmed at this the man introduced himself as her father, a former pilot of the Rebel Alliance, turned Jedi after the civil war when his force ability became known. He left the order after he began to experience dreams of Kyra and her dark path. The power that he drew from his daughter corrupted him and he left the New Order. Kyra now understood her past visions and dreams; they were memories and experiences from her father. Two years passed and that life, including new training, family stories, history, and experiences will be forever kept secret by Kyra, but she will use new wisdom throughout her future training, as she might bring forth past skills possessed by Dathomir Nightsisters. Then the Yuuzhan Vong attacked, she was very much in contact with the rest of the galaxy, just not the Brotherhood or her former Clan, though she watched that section. Kyra was about to leave to return to her Clan, when the Vong found they’re little hide-away. Kyra’s father knew the desires of his daughter, and used all his strength and force knowledge to fight off the Vong, long enough for Kyra to take his ship and leave. Her father sacrificed himself; his lightsaber and the force were no match for the Yuuzhan Vong. Several months later Kyra found her self adrift in space seated in her father's X-wing. Her last memories where of her father and the Yuuzhan Vong, what had happened to her memories may never be known, but she felt bitterness and cold, an inner darkness was brewing just ready to explode to the surface. She knew one place answers maybe found, the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and that is where the former Guardian headed.

The Return and a New Clan (29 ABY)

As she approached the Yridia system, again a call from the force, Kyra received a message from Yridia II. After her initial encounter with Clan Tarentum, she joined their ranks, as a Guardian, and found a new home in House Tridens. Soon after her arrival Kyra became the apprentice to Warrior Odin Vaaj and enthusiastically began her tutelage under his guidance. It did not take long for her master and clan to grant her the rank of Jedi Hunter, from her unwavering loyalty to the clan,through training and skill, and honored by appointments to various positions throughout the Brotherhood.

Recently, officer positions opened up for the newly restructured Tarentum Army. After proving herself a competent leader Kyra was granted the position of Major of the 1st battalion 12th armor regiment, within the first Brigade led by Lt. Colonel Frey Gallandro and under the leadership of the 1st Division commander Lt. General Korras of the Clan Tarentum I Corp. Kyra continues to gain prominence within her new Clan, proving herself time and again, training herself to be a leader and always working toward her knighthood.
