Espis

Espis was an espionage agent for the Galactic Republic during the Alsakan Crisis. Lucius Stark fed information to Espis from the Alsakan capital of Xenvaer. After the Battle of Alsakan, Stark was picked up by Espis and the two married and lived on Corellia. When a member of the Alsakan Restoration Movement discovered Stark's survival and living on a Republic world, they murdered Espis. Stark, filled with grief, created a holographic Artificial Intelligence unit of Espis, so she would accompany him always.

Behind the scenes
Espis was first mentioned in Lucius Stark's profile on the Star Wars Role Playing site TheStarWarsRP.Com. With Stark being a homage to Gaius Baltar from the Battlestar Galactica television series, the idea of Espis being turned into an Artificial Intelligence unit and personal companion was inspired by Baltar's companion, Number Six, inside his mind. For the same reason, Espis was portrayed by actress Tricia Helfer.
