Biography
Mera's first known appearance was where he served as Gardulla the Hutt's lieutenant on Nal Hutta. However, during a sabaac game he was thrown to a krayt dragon and barely escaped alive.

He joined with Jabba during the trade war with Gardulla but was betrayed by the Hutt before he found himself in the service of Darth Galepius. He helped Galepius establish his base on Eriadu and the Xeros Asteroids during the early stages of the Bane Crisis.

However, things would change with the arrival of Jedi Master Dooku and his apprentice Qui-Gon Jinn. Mera intercepted them heading towards Xeros and imprisoned them in the ateroids where they were tortured by Galepius and his apprentices Sisidou and Verona.

Unable to stand the suffering, Mera left with his forces and prepared to leave for Wild Space. However, when an assasination on his life failed, Mera turned his forces against Galepius and attacked his base in the Xeros asteroids.

After the battle, he united with Dooku and Qui-Gon against the Disciples of Bane and led a force to attack Galepius's base on Eriadu. Uniting with Eriaduian security, they led a combined army against Galepius's forces in the Battle of Eriadu.

Mera fought bravely and led the assault through the breach to attack the Disciples's army. In the fortress, he shot down Darth Merik who was attempting to kill Qui-Gon before he headed for the Sith's private hanger.

There he killed his rival Admiral Driez but was then stabbed from behind by Darth Sisidou. Mera died instantly but his sacrifice led to victory for the Republic forces and the destruction of the Disciples of Bane.
