House Sendor (Destiny)

House Sendor was a once-prestigeous, long-living family from Tralon IV. Once one of the planet's Great Houses, the Sendors had lost their footing by 200 BBY and all but forgotten by 100 BBY.

Early history
House Sendor first rose to prominence early in the, circa 7991 BBY. It was a founding member of the Great Houses of Tralon and was led at the time by Galen Sendor I. A well-learned bureaucrat, it wasn't long before Galen rose to power and became the second Count of Tralon in 7988 BBY, replacing Valos Carran. After his thirty year-long reign, House Sendor would continue to consistently carry the office of Count of Tralon for the next few thousand years.

Entering the Republic
In 6697 BBY, Republic scouts discovered the Tralon system and made contact with the Great Houses. The paranoid Count Taloc Sendor mistook them for invaders and ordered the Tralon Star Force to attack them. The scouts called in for reinforcements and the Republic Fleet arrived to settle the conflict. The commanding admiral, with the help of Taloc's daughter Viceroy Tulia, managed to calm the Count and was able to bring him to Coruscant. There the Count met Supreme Chancellor Luluwuul and signed the Tralon Treaty with him. Count Taloc was notably reluctant to shake hands with the Chancellor, having never encountered a non-human before, let one alone one like the plant-like Luluwuul.

The Force awakens
In 5801 BBY, Viceroy Nalia Sendor gave birth to a Force-sensitive child. This was something that worried the family, as they had never before dealt with such an occurrence and were not sure how to handle it. They contacted the Republic, who sent the Jedi Order to retrieve the child. Nalia met with Jedi Master Serec, who told her of the Order's history and purpose. While the Viceroy was eager to hand her son over to them after hearing this, her mother Countess Silva disapproved, as the child was the only living male member of the family at the time and thus the only one who could carry on the family name. Nalia ignored these concerns and instead handed her son over to the Jedi Order, who went on to train him into a Jedi Knight. Forty years later, Galen Sendor II returned to his family and took on the duties of Count of Tralon from his mother, which greatly relieved the seventy-five year-old woman.

Jedi and Sith
House Sendor would continue to produce strong Jedi Knights throughout the and during the. In 4016 BBY, Eve Sendor was born as the youngest child of Count Benjam Sendor and became a respected Jedi Knight who fought in the. A year after the Sith were defeated, she married renowned Jedi Knight Taarn Soral and the two had a son whom they named Kalon, after Eve's maternal grandfather. Their son would go on to become a Jedi Knight in the and later a Dark Lord of the Sith who would reign several thousand years after Eve and her husband had passed on. Meanwhile, House Sendor continued through Eve's older brother Adam, who bore no Force-sensitive heirs. Indeed, no Force-sensitive children were born into House Sendor until three centuries later, during the.

Order of Revan
By the time of the Great Galactic War in 3681 BBY, House Sendor had grown greatly in numbers. Each of Count Orlan's five children ended up having five or more of their own, with each of those children marrying into the other Great Houses. In 3678 BBY, the first Force-sensitive Sendor in three hundred years was born. Named Valon Sendor, he went on to train at the Jedi Temple under the tutelage of Master. However, in 3659 BBY, Valon fell to the dark side and joined the. After the, he reached the rank of Sith Lord and took on the name Valsen. It was around this time that the -- an organization devoted to the former Dark Lord of the Sith  -- was founded by. Lord Valsen became a member of this order but was not an active one by the time the began weeding out its members. After becoming Count of Tralon in 3636 BBY, Valsen passed on the Revanite teachings to his descendants, ensuring it would thrive in secret for the next three thousand years.

Post-Ruusan
Playing a role in the of 1000 BBY, House Sendor reached the peak of its popularity in 960 BBY when Alron Sendor became the sixth Supreme Chancellor of the reformed Galactic Republic. As the first Chancellor to hail from the, Alron had the expectations of hundreds of Mid and Outer Rim worlds weighing on his shoulder but he managed to exceed them during his four-year long term, leading to his re-election in 956 BBY. Following his tenure, House Sendor continued to bask in their fame for the next several centuries until it all came crashing down seven hundred years later.

Fall from grace
Count Damus Sendor was a jovial man with a loving wife and family. Although he never introduced any ground-breaking changes, he was still loved by the people and his reign as Count was, for the most part, peaceful yet uneventful. This all changed for the worse in 250 BBY when the entirety of House Sendor became embroiled in a series of scandals and affairs, all within the span of a few hours.

It started when Count Damus came home to find that his eldest son, the Viceroy of Tralon, was partaking in the illicit trading of spice. After stripping his son of power and disowning him, the Count then found out his wife was pregnant. Knowing it couldn't have been his, he forced his wife to admit that she was having an affair. Distraught by this discovery, he went to watch the HoloNet hoping to take his mind off things. To his shock and revulsion, he turned on the network to find his daughter starring in an exploitative holodrama. Unable to bear all that was happening, the Count ran outside to get some fresh air. As he did so, he accidentally released his pet akk dog from its cage and it went on a feral rampage through the city of Alon.

Following this eventful day, House Sendor was all over the HoloNet. During a dinner with the Supreme Chancellor, Count Damus broke down in a fit of tears and rage, further embarrassing himself and his family in front of billions across the galaxy. In 248 BBY, Count Damus was gently asked to step down by the other Great Houses, who tried to use the excuse that his forty-year long reign had over-stressed him. Even though he still looked young for sixty-seven, the Count agreed and vacated the throne. He was succeeded by his regent Lodar Carran, who gave Damus the false promise of letting the Sendors resume the throne again one day, even though all of Damus' relatives had been disgraced. The once-esteemed House Sendor quietly faded into obscurity after this, and by 200 BBY, it was no longer considered a member of the Great Houses.

As time went on, Tralon IV began to fade from popularity. Another scandal involving one of the Great Houses cost Tralon its seat in the Galactic Senate in 197 BBY and by 100 BBY the planet had vanished from most starmaps. In 37 BBY, two Jedi were sent to Tralon to retrieve a Force-sensitive child named Naya Sendor. Upon hearing the name Sendor, the Jedi asked Naya's parents if they bore any relation to House Sendor, which had not been heard from in a hundred years. Naya's parents neither confirmed nor denied the connection and instead told the Jedi to simply take their daughter and leave.

Taken into the Jedi Order, Naya Sendor was trained in the ways of the Force by Jedi Master Doth Elcharr. Serving as a Jedi Commander during the Clone Wars, Sendor returned to her homeworld when it fell under siege by the Separatists. While there, she learned of her family's history with the Order of Revan and decided to pledge herself to the Revanite teachings. Falling to the dark side, she slayed her master and allowed the Separatists to conquer the planet. After the Separatists fell, the Empire retook the planet in 17 BBY. Naya fled from the planet, not wishing to be found by the Sith Lord.

Escaping to Dantooine, Naya met a scientist named Aron Jarsan. The two married and later had a son whom they named Toah. It was Naya's belief that her son was the reincarnation of Darth Revan and tried to mold him to one day reclaim the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith. In 6 ABY however, Toah was taken on as an apprentice by the Jedi Knight, quenching Naya's hopes. Ten years later, the Sith Lord Darth Vorath -- secretly Naya's distant relative Kalon Soral -- tracked her down to Dantooine and killed her, making her death appear to be suicide. She was survived on Damosus by her cousins Vandos and Andros Sendor, who inherited the Sendor residence from her parents.

In 11 ABY, Orran Sendor was born to Andros Sendor and. The latter was secretly the Dark Jedi Lumiya who was hoping to have a child strong in the Force that she would take on as an apprentice should her current one fail. However, Orran proved to not be Force-sensitive to Brisha's disappointment. Two years later, she had another child -- fathered by a clone of Darth Vorath -- who did turn out to be strong in the Force. Naming him Varon, she left her two sons under the care of their uncle Vandos, having killed Andros for prying too far into her background.

When Varon turned eleven, Darth Vorath came to Damosus to retrieve him, tasking him with the murder of his uncle and half-brother. Once Varon had done so, he was taken to Dromund Kaas to be trained as a Sith acolyte, where he took on the name Varon Krul. After Vorath was vanquished and his Sith Order collapsed, Varon fled with the others from Dromund Kaas. While most of the Sith ended up settling on Korriban, Varon instead went to Thule with his master Roon Altor. There they stayed for the next ten years, until they were contacted by Lysira Naris, who was constructing a new Sith Order to focus more on preserving the Sith's culture, rather than attempt at conquering the galaxy.

The two joined the new Sith Order and Varon ended up falling in love with Lysira and she ended up pregnant with his child. She hid this fact from Varon and instead went to his mother Brisha on Damosus, where she gave birth to the child and named the boy Kalon. Three years later, Varon seceded from his lover's Sith Order and declared himself Dark Lord of the Sith, taking on the name Darth Taral. However, after he was betrayed by his own followers, Taral fled back to Damosus with Lysira, where they found Kalon and settled down as a family, leaving the Sith behind and starting a new chapter in life.
