Asura Tyuki

"If it meant men like you roamed this galaxy unchecked, I would never go back. That's our mission, you scum. To protect the innocent from you."

- to Decien.

 was a Brotherhood slicer during the time of the Clone Wars and the Shadow Conflict. She eventually discovered the private server of the Brotherhood's leader, Dylan Antiunknown, who quickly inducted her into the second Antimatter Squadron to control her. She, along with Praxon and DX-245 were eventually rescued by Hans Novastar and joined his crew, the original Antimatter Squadron, dedicated to defeating the Brotherhood. After the Brotherhood vanished, Asura spent years following their trail until a mysterious employer offered a new job to the crew, promising to pay ludicrous amounts of credits to enter an abandoned base and find what was in it. They discovered Sen Qorbin and met Decien, initiating a series of events that lead Asura to witness the Binding of Ganner Slarwalker.

Early Life
Born to two of its members, Asura became part of the Brotherhood at a young age, and grew up as one of them. She began her career as a technician on Hutta, but eventually also became one of the Brotherhood's top slicers, operating from the Brotherhood HQ. Asura did, however, have the occasional rebellious streak, and spent a lot of time slicing into classified Brotherhood files with the ultimate goal of gaining access to Dylan Antiunknown's personal server.

Induction to Antimatter Squadron
Shortly after Order 66, Asura finally managed to gain Paradus access and get onto Dylan's server. She discovered that he kept notes and surveilience of Cade Slarwalker running at all times, and watched as he sent a distress signal to Hans Novastar and Ranulph Darkhitch pleading for help. She was curious to know more about something titled "Operation Supernova", but Gatt needed her to help with starship maintenance, so she logged out of the server for later.

The second time she entered Dylan's server, she discovered that Operation Supernova intended to use various Brotherhood assets, including herself, as a covert strike team; the second Antimatter Squadron.. Realizing that her time was limited, she learned as much as she could about the other members of the operation and sliced into DX-245 long enough to save Cade's life on Hoth and send a desperate warning about the coming mission. As she sent the transmission, she was abducted by Brotherhood forces and brought to Coruscant.

She was brought in last by Cyana Bastra to meet Taran Ragnan and the rest of the team: DX-245, Kev Marnath, and Praxon. The team was given the assignment of killing Nebula Corporation executive Dani Morrow, and fitted with nerve implants that allowed the Brotherhood to control their bodies if need be. Asura was assigned the role of overwatch, controlling DX-245. When Asura threatened Cyana, she responded by telling Asura that she would kill the other members of Antimatter Squadron as well if she attempted anything.

Operation Supernova
At the party, the team was surprised by Hans Novastar and Cade, now working together. Kev managed to hold off the two long enough for Praxon to escape the party with Morrow, but instead of eliminating her, he fought against his neural implants and begged him to kill her. Afraid of failure and wishing to save Praxon, Asura made DX-245 snipe Morrow, and the team withdrew shortly after without Kev, who was killed by Hans.

Aboard the Exarch, Cyana had Praxon fitted with the DX Neural Interface, syncing up his mind to DX-245's processor and, hopefully, allowing the droid to control Praxon more easily than the first set of implants could, as well as improving the combat abilities of both. Meanwhile, Asura managed to get in contact with Hans briefly, informing him of the situation. Hans, Cade, and Ranulph decided to attempt to disable Asura's implants and rescue her.

Hans and Cade boarded and fought through the Exarch, prompting Taran to sic the second Antimatter Squadron on them, activate a self-destruct, and escape with Cyana. When Hans and Cade found Asura, they were able to disable her implants as planned, but Asura insisted on saving Praxon as well. Praxon and DX-245 then attacked the duo, and Asura managed to remove a restraining bolt from DX-245, which caused the droid to stop following Brotherhood orders, at the cost of being shot by Praxon under the droid's control. The whole group then made their way off the ship in time to escape the ship's destruction.

Asura later woke up aboard the Fortune Destroyer, where Hans offered her a job working in a unified Antimatter Squadron. She was too surprised to accept at first, and was interrupted by Ganner Slarwalker's message to Antimatter Squadron, asking them to meet with him one last time. One year later, Asura and the rest of Antimatter Squadron would meet Galen Slarwalker and Yula Ardinn to bury Ganner and hide his journal. In the meantime, the Brotherhood went into hiding, but Antimatter Squadron dedicated themselves to finding the organization and destroying it.

Resurgence
Five years after Ganner's funeral, Asura and Antimatter Squadron (save for Ranulph who had left two years earlier) were raiding a Brotherhood facility on Manaan when a self-destruct sequence initiated, and with one second left and no chance of escaping, it was deactivated by a mysterious contact. The contact wanted the team's help in acquiring information that would be mutually beneficial to them. Asura and the others convinced Hans to agree.

The mission led to Quesh, where the team uncovered Sen Qorbin, barely alive and held in stasis. They also met Yula there, who revealed that she had been working with their contact, Ranulph, to fulfill a vision Ganner had seen in two heroes would do battle with a great enemy. Their discovery also alerted the Inquisitor Decien to their presence, and led him to begin tracking the team. They took Qorbin back to the Fortune Destroyer, and Hans instructed DX-245 to monitor Qorbin and tell him if he learned any important information.

Antimatter Squadron, now accompanied by Yula, then returned to Carlac to ensure that Ganner was dead, and that his journals had been untouched. They set course for Dathomir, but unbeknownst to them, Decien was monitoring and would find Ganner's body and journals before following them to their next destination.

On Dathomir, Antimatter Squadron stayed onboard the Fortune Destroyer while Yula set out to speak to the Nightsisters. While they waited, Decien appeared over the planet with a small Imperial armada, forcing the Fortune Destroyer to take flight and battle for time until finally being shot down. Everyone onboard survived, and the ship was captured and taken to Imperial Facility 406-P.

On the station, DX-245 was able to hide on the ship and release all the prisoners, leading Hans, Cade, Asura, and Praxon to perform an escape attempt which went smoothly until just before its completion, at which point Decien captured the entire group and took them into the heart of the station. There, Decien revealed his studies of the Shadow Assassins and plans to resurrect Ganner, and Asura vowed to defeat him. Decien succeeded in doing so, but Ganner broke free of his control and aided the group to escape for real before being separated from them.

Not long after the escape, Hans went with Antimatter Squadron to Dantooine and enlisted Galen's help, promising him that he could keep Vara safe due to favors groups from his upbringing still owed him.

Personality and traits
Despite being a lifetime member of the Brotherhood, Asura was often the most empathetic person in any group she was part of. She maintained both this trait and loyalty to the Brotherhood until her discovery of Operation Supernova, at which point she realized the organization was evil and decided to take it on. She cared for her fellow members of Antimatter Squadron, going so far as to kill Dani Morrow to save Praxon.

Similar to Ranulph, Asura was the tech expert of the second Antimatter Squadron, and took his place in that role in the unified team after he left. Though she hadn't learned much in the way of combat in the Brotherhood, Asura gained much experience in the five years between Operation Supernova and the Resurgence Conflict. She used an EE-4 in combat.
