After Lord Grathan's decision to go rogue, Vereta remained loyal to him, one of many apprentices withstanding the siege ofhis estate by theImperial Military.[2]
Her father decided to hire abounty hunter, the futureGrand Champion of the Great Hunt, to kill her due to the political implications of Grathan's betrayal. The bounty hunter found her and engaged theSith Acolyte in a duel. Vereta was defeated, shocked that she could be beaten by a being who was notForce-sensitive. She realized her folly in following Grathan's ways, and realized that her master had lied to her about her strength.[2]
This section of the article assumes that the player chooses only "dark side" options in the course of the game. Alternate stories are noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. Note: The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed ascanon within theStar Wars Legends continuity.
Still in disbelief that she could be defeated by a common bounty hunter, the hunter killed her.[2]
Assumption ends here.
Personality and traits[]
Like many Sith, Vereta was very confident in her abilities in thedark side. She was also very loyal to Grathan even after he went rogue. She believed that common bounty hunters couldn't kill Sith.[2]
Despite her strength and confidence, she knew she wasn't invincible. She admitted that she could be killed by a more powerful Sith, a lucky Jedi, or an explosion, but not by a bounty hunter. When the Hunter defeated her, however, she was shocked and in denial at having been proven wrong, even as she was killed.[2]
Vereta also considered imprisonment worse than death.[2]
In the light side option, the bounty hunter freezes Vereta incarbonite and takes her to her father instead of killing her. This is an act the Sith apprentice sees as a fate worse than death.Mako will favor that option. Upon returning to Admiral Fraabaal, he is at first dismayed about having Verata brought to him alive though he thanks the hunter after expressing regret at trying to have her killed. He plans to have her locked until she comes to her senses.[2]
STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 onThe Old Republic'sofficial website(backup link) placesStar Wars: The Old Republic about ten to twelveyears after the signing of theTreaty of Coruscant, which is dated to3653 BBY byStar Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia.The Old Republic — The Lost Suns 2 takes place ten years after the treaty, oneweek after themission to Nar Shaddaa, and around thetime of theSpecForce Incident. Since the mission and the incident are respectively part of Act I of theJedi Knight andRepublic Trooper's storylines, and the Trooper's Act I occurs concurrent to Act I of theSmuggler storyline, the general events of the Prologue and Act I for all classes can be assumed to occur in3643 BBY.
