Stass Taria

Stass Taria was a Rodian Dark Side Adept stationed to watch over Ryloth for Count Dooku. Like other Dark Side Adepts trained by Dooku, Stass fought for recognition and apprenticeship from the Count, but was ultimately disregarded as nothing more than a tool. She was killed by Twi'lek freedom fighters after her true identity was uncovered in 20 BBY.

Early Life
Born in 51 BBY, Taria was raised in Yusk City by her father, a Rodian supremacist, who had little concern for the well-being of his daughter. Despite his abuse, his supremacist views rubbed off on her and only fuelled the energy of her dark side powers. After accidentally force-choking her father to death during a dinner table argument, she was taken into hiding by the agents of Dooku.

Stass was given little training by Dooku and her relationship with the force was barely cultivated, considered too weak with the force for any true mentoring by the dark lord. Despite this, she was completely loyal to his cause, and worked as an agent taking minor assignments in espionage and assassination in the leadup to the Clone Wars.

The Clone Wars
In 23 BBY, Stass was stationed to Ryloth, as a sleeper agent, who would also report Republic activity on the planet to higher ranking CIS operatives. She was given a farm isolated from the major cities on the planet, so as to not draw attention to her activities. The farmhouse was fitted with a secret communications array and planetary communications scanner in the basement of the building. A T-47 airspeed named the Conquest Lion was also given to her, as a method of escape and defence.

Despite warning the CIS of the incoming Republic invasion in 22 BBY, she was ordered not to interfere so as to be able to continue her espionage work after the planet was captured. After the capture of Wat Tambor, she secretly commanded all remaining CIS droids, relocating them into the uninhabitable zones of the planet and into hiding so as to wait for a separatist recapture of planet.

Stass was eventually killed two years after this, when Twi'lek counterintelligence officers intercepted her secret transmissions to a separatist base on Hypori. Twi'lek militia besieged her farm, and while she at first succeeded in killing half a dozen of the men, she was overwhelmed and gunned down trying to reach the Conquest Lion. Her death was considered a great success for republic forces, with valuable CIS intel retrieved from the farmhouse.

Personality & Traits
Despite being very sympathetic to the plights of other aliens, she still considered them inferior due their differing species. Growing up without a caring parental figure, Stass craved the recognition of others, but went her whole life disregarded, by her father, Count Dooku, and even in death.
