— Venari Haliat

Venari Haliat (previously Venari Halissk) is the Force-sensitive Scalelord of Duskscale Clan, as well as a Trandoshan veteran and a vicious hunter. He was also one of the few Trandoshans to actively serve the CIS during the Clone wars, although not publicly known. Actively avoiding the public light for the past few years he has recently emerged back into the galaxy.

Venari commanded numerous fleets and led many troops into battle during his service with the Confederacy, which mounted multiple successful invasions of lightly guarded planets and installations. During the purge of the Jedi at the end of the Clone wars, Venari fled to his homeworld of Trandosha after the initial Force ripple across the galaxy and later when his droid forces were deactivated.

Biography

Early Life

Venari was born into the Duskscale Clan, the rulers of a powerful region on Trandosha. In his youth Venari was trained in the ways of hunting and fighting by his grandfather, Tann Halissk, around this time he and his grandfather discovered his affinity with the Force, he would often train with a local shaman as well. He later joined the militia of the Hsskor Dominion. Venari would participate in a number of raids on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk, shortly thereafter he inherited his father's title of Scalelord, after unknown circumstances.

Venari's rule over his clan became an important one, he managed to increase its holdings twofold as well as the elimination a number of other rival clans. Early in his rule, he was assailed by three Noghri assassins who held vibro axes. He managed to kill two of them with only a scar on his forehead and used to Force push the third out of the window, landing on its neck, killing him, but not before retrieving the name of their employer. Venari had discovered that his, cousin who wanted the position for himself, had hired the Noghri to assassinate him, after killing him, Venari proceeded to devour his corpse.

Clone Wars

Hard Contact

Sometime before the Clone Wars, Venari Halissk (now known as Haliat) was recruited into the Confederacy of Independent Systems by a high ranking commander, a plan not widely approved of in the more conservative minds. Haliat was not selected as a recruit just for his combat abilities; the Separatists knew that he did not care enough about the bigger picture and not look for answers as much as most—important considering what the Clone Wars truly was. The employment of a new commander caused new opportunities for his leaders: a clone regiment seized control of several Separatist refueling depots, including one that contains a supposedly new fuel source that could decrease power consumption in the fleet. The Trandoshan was sent by his superiors to end the occupation, resulting in a vicious battle that lasted for days which ended with the destruction of the clone unit save one commando that escaped. The depots were liberated, unfortunately, the fuel source was destroyed in the initial Republic attack. As the Confederate fleet began its siege into the Core Worlds of the Republic, his Human handler Rodric Torsin tasked Haliat with attacking Sernpindal—a world at the fringe of Republic space. Shortly after, Haliat assembled a Confederate fleet and led them into an assault on the planet in 23 BCGT. Clone intelligence was aware of his presence, but was unable to gather more than cursory intelligence on him, as well as reports from the Wookiees. Three months into the battle, Venari Haliat oversaw a excavation of an ancient facility that was abandoned on one of the planets polar regions. At the beginning of the investigate, Haliat sent in battle droids with bombs planted in their receivers incase trouble was detected. He would later enter the facility and uncover numerous items and data including a lightsaber from a long dead Sith marauder.

A Clone commando team was quickly dispatched to the facility with orders to destroy it before the Separatists could gain anything from it. While his battle droids engaged three of the clones, Haliat used his stealth to ambush and kill one of the commandoes then moved on to take on the commander. As the fight between the two adversaries progressed. The clone drove his combat knife into his foes chest, prompting Haliat to kill the clone by cutting him in half with the remnant lightsaber he had just remembered he had in his possession. Venari Haliat managed to escape with his Jagannath points intact shortly before the Republic destroyed the facility, fortunately he already had the necessary data he was sent for.

War's Interim

At some point between 24 and 22 BCGT, Venari's successful leadership and combat abilities earned him the rank of Commander of a Confederate fleet. Sometime after this promotion he led his forces into the battle of Hypori. Haliat and his forces caught the small Republic fleet unaware. He landed his ground forces and assaulted the orbiting ships and station before the clones could react. While his gunships bombarded defensive positions, Haliat led an assault on the Clone garrison. He fought the local clone battalion, who were unaware of his presence until moments before. Haliat and his droid forces wiped out the entire unit. Throughout his time as a commander he was responsible for the deaths of a little under a million military lives and the destruction of a fleet worth of ships. Clone intelligence had attempted keep up with him and only succeeded on a number of occasions.

Knightfall

Shortly after retrieving a data packet for the Confederacy on {REDACTED}, 22 BCGT, an event Venari was not prepared for happened. A ripple had spread out across the galaxy, caused by the deaths of hundreds of Jedi throughout the galaxy, he would have been alright if he had known about it, unfortunately he didn't and he fell unconscious at the bridge of his ship. Upon waking he found himself in the med bay surrounded by deactivated droids, unaware of what happened he quickly fled via a shuttle towards his homeworld of Trandosha, the one place he knew he would be safe and could recuperate from what had transpired.

Home is where you victims are

The Trip Home

Returning to his homeworld, he planned to visit as many clans to unite his people incase an outside force attempts to seize Dosha for their own; one of the clans he visited was an old rival of his. Unfortunately the local Dosha clans were divided and civil war broke out between the more traditional clans and the progressive clans that wished to expand their species to other worlds. The war would later wage on for decades with many Trandoshans and even outsider mercenaries dead with only but a few factions remaining. However, it should be noted that the majority of Trandoshans did not participate as the war only took place on a continent rarely visited by outsiders and not fully mapped.

Thumbs Up

In 16 BCGT, Haliat met with a Mandalorian clan chieftain named Dannen Guga of Clan Guga, along with his honor guard and a wimpy looking scientist in one of his clans stronghold. There, he and the Mandalorian discussed the similarities of their cultures, as well as a treaty between their two peoples.

Thumps Down

In 9 BCGT, Venari Haliat had entered into negotiations with a Wookiee tribe, along with a Mandalorian delegation. Haliat would once again met with Dannen Guga and the Wookiee Chieftain Merumfull on Taarkano. During the negotiations, an anti-alien group attacked the delegations. When their evac ship was blown out of the sky, they were relocated by their escorts to an abandoned facility on the planet where they were able to evacuate off-world and back to safety. With all parties walking away without agreeing to anything useful.

Personality & traits

Venari Haliat is a very switched on Trandoshan who is know for being an intelligent individual, a great tactician and a skilled fighter. He is also a wise decision-maker and decides to spend lives of his men carefully. Venari is able to think outside of the box and does adhere to Trandoshan honor everywhere other then in combat. In time during the war, Venari had even began to respect certain individuals, mostly non-clones.

Following his arrival back at Trandosha, Haliat managed to calm down, most likely because of the time he spent commanding and guiding from the back instead of in the front for most of the time.

Special Traits

Venari can be distinguished by a scar on his forehead, a healed chest wound from a Nexu, and a slight OCD when it comes to walking up stairs by tapping the bottom twice. Like the rest of his people, he has a large collection of trophies from many different species, a large armory of weaponry, armor, along with a view overlooking a valley on his home world. He is known to have participated in many battles and having taken part in many hunts. This is evident of the previously mentioned collection. Venari has also a number of weapons not commonly seen in the hands of Trandoshans, such as a customized whip he frequently uses in CQB. Moreover, Wookiee intelligence has confirmation he has used his Force and natural abilities against their kind to overpower some of the strongest members of a tribe.

Powers & abilities

Venari is a highly skilled combatant, particularly in close quarters combat. He is skilled at general combat and predicting enemies movements, bolstered by his Force abilities of mild precognition. He rarely makes use of fancy acrobatics in combat, instead he uses his body's natural strength and speed to get up close. Among Venari's greatest feats was confronting a Wookiee chieftain shortly after his homecoming from the Clone wars in single combat. During the Clone Wars, Venari would single-handedly defeat a few Jedi Knights, and even a couple of Clone Commandoes. While he would normally wield a vibroblade, Venari is proficient in the usage of blasters, he made use of such weaponry often when dealing with more challenging foes that he didn't want to get close towards, such as Jedi.

As a Trandoshan, Venari possesses greater physical strength and stamina than the average humanoid species, along with their trademark predatory instinct. He has shown to have an acute sense of smell, a potent healing fact along with Force abilities.

• The Force: As a result of being born with a high amount of Midi-chlorians within his cells, Haliat has the ability to detect and alter the flow of the Force, a almost supernatural entity that exists in all life in the galaxy and possibly the universe. Venari has mastered the usage of healing, barriers, and force lightning while only just starting on battle meditation and mind tricks.

• Trandoshan Strength: Venari, like the rest of his species, possesses immense strength exceeding that of most other species. Venari , due to his connection with the Force, can enhance his strength to the point of rivaling that of even the Wookiees for a short duration.

• Trandoshan Durability: Venari's reptilian physiology is much more resistant to physical damage than other species. He can also survive in temperatures both to hot and cold for most others to survive.

• Longevity: Venari, with help from the Force, can augment his ability to drain life and the Force from individuals, and has gained the ability of using the Force to regenerate his own life force, granting Haliat with an extended lifespan.

• Healing Factor: Much like every other individual being in the galaxy, Venari can suffer from wounds. Haliat's reptilian healing factor can regenerate entire limbs unlike most other species. Combined with his Force powers, Venari can heal to an even greater extent

Equipment

While Haliat at first donned his ceremonial scalelord armor during the Clone wars, he has recently began wearing a customized Trandoshan-Mandalorian hybrid heavy battle armor, mixing the pros while limiting the cons. This armor is gold in color, while he wears other types of armor for different reasons, he usually wears his primary gold-colored armor. He favors his customized lightsaber he had acquired during the war with the republic, however, he still uses a vibroblade that has been in his possession since before the Clone Wars, Clone's Bane. Venari most often uses a DLT-20a in ranged combat, and duel-wielded ELG-3As he acquired from a friend a long time ago. Haliat is also in possession of a number of ships including an YV-666, a Sprint, and a Ginivex starfighter that has been in his possession since he got it during the Clone Wars, and throughout the years has helped him in his war on Dosha.
