Arya Devine

"“Why don’t we just kill them already?”"

- - Arya Devine to her superiors after a battle

Arya Devine was a famed military commander during both the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. Born in 45 BBY, she was only 23 when she was put in command of Arquitens class Light Cruiser Mind’s Edge and was assigned to the 501st Legion. Serving alongside legendary figures like Captain Rex and General Skywalker, she gained the reputation for being a “melting pot” of ideas, strategies, and tactics. Unfortunately, the then Lieutenant-Colonel Arya would be first hand witness to both the atrocities of the Umbarans and the Galactic Republic during the Umbaran Campaign. She saw the betrayal of Pong Krell, and saw how ravage and dangerous they were when unhinged, she, while maintaining an kind relationship with the clones, became cold to almost all the Jedi, including Skywalker and Kenobi. By the time of Order 66, she had no trust in the Jedi, personally killing one attempting to kill a clone of hers.

Promoted to Colonel, she would serve loyally to the empire, even if her PTSD held her back. She became one of the last imperials to still use clones, notably using a serum which makes clones age normally, due to their shared view of the jedi and loyalty. She was known to fear and even detest Vader, something which almost got her killed in 0 ABY.

During the Imperial Remnant, she first served with Moff Gideon before joining the Qui-Gat Remnant by 5 ABY. Acting as head of army. She became one of the three main leading figures along with Grand Admiral Havel and Colonel Arryn. Fighting many fierce battles for the remnant, she would outlive her superior, Havel, and watched as Arryn and half of the remaining fleet was lost. Attempting to retain control over her wilting forces, she attempted to merge with a smaller remnant. Upon meeting their commander, a former inquisitor, she went into a panicked PTSD induced frenzy, killing him. Believing she had gone insane, she was thrown out the airlock, discarded and unappreciated by her non-clone crew.
