OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To record notable Members of the Verros Family, as a memorial to the fallen members.
- Image Credit: X All character images taken in Star Wars: The Old Republic
- Canon: N/A
- Links: Voph
- Organization Name: The Verros Family
- Classification: Family
- Affiliation: The Luka Sene, The Reconstituted Sith Empire, The Confederacy of Independent Systems (Current)
- Organization Symbol: Seen above, the Crest of Verros is that of a dragon, vaguely resembling a Kell Dragon, though the exact species is unclear.
- Description: The Verros Family is a noble family of Pureblood Miraluka that typically serve among the Luka Sene for a period of their lives. Marked by a ferocity that most Miraluka do not posess, the Verros Family have long stood as protectors of their people and their homeworld. Though fragmented, and reduced to a single living member, the Verros family shall forever live as protectors of the less fortunate.
- Headquarters: Vylmira
- Domain: The Verros Family has ruled over the Colony World of Vylmira for two generations, currently under High Councilor Kyyrk-Xho Verros. The family is well respected, having been elected to the position on both occasions. The Verrosians see themselves as stewards, rather than rulers, and hold themselves responsible for the well being of their primary ward, Vylmira. The younger generations, however, have begun to venture beyond the confines of their homeworld, offering their services as warriors and protectors to other more powerful nations.
- Notable Assets: N/A
- Hierarchy: The family is a Patriarchal organization, with a clearly defined line of succession, denoted with the suffix "-Xho" (Example: Kyyrk-Xho, Koren-Xho, Cortrin-Xho). The eldest surviving Xho holds seniority over the entire family. In the absence of a recognized Xho, the family defaults to the eldest living member.
- Membership: Currently only one surviving member recorded. To join the family, one must simply marry in or be adopted.
- Climate: Close, familial. Verrosians would give their lives to save beings they have only just met, forget what they would do for family. In joining the Verros Family, a being would be welcomed with open arms, regardless of their past intentions or actions.
- Reputation: Neutral. As the family is reduced to a single member, their reputation is synonymous with his own. The Remaining Verrosian, however, seeks to keep a low profile.
- Curios: N/A
- Rules: The historic values held by the Verros Family have been lost to time, as not all of them are held by the lone surviving member. Under the guidance of Kyyrk-Xho, the family upholds the belief that the Force is a living entity, to be respected and feared. While they do not stray from its use, they do believe that the Force does not have a light or dark side, it simply is, and the quality of it is determined by the intent behind its use. Members of the Verros Family are expected to offer aid when and where they are able, regardless of faction or alignment. Their first calling is to protect the lives of innocents, and safeguard the galaxy from any threats to civilization.
- Goals: The Verros Family seeks to bring peace to the galaxy, and create a world in which people can live in harmony, even if they know full well that such a goal is beyond their reach. They seek to educate and enlighten those less fortunate than themselves, and bring greatness to those around them. The Verros Family seeks little in the form of physical reward, content to make their own way in the galaxy. They do not seek to rule any peoples of the galaxy, merely to guide them.

- Koren-Xho Verros was Patriarch of the Verros Family before his son, Kyyrk-Xho Verros, took the mantle. In his early days, he served as a member of the Luka Sene, eventually holding a seat on their ruling council. His prowess with a saber pike was unparalleled, and he became one of the fiercest combatants the Verros Family had ever hosted. After the devastation of Kataar, the Miraluka attempted another colony world, and Koren-Xho was selected to assist with establishing the colony. During his time as the chief defender, his eldest son, Kyyrk, was born, and his wife was elected to a seat on the planet's governing council, representing a small farming enclave in the southern regions. When the previously elected High Councilor stepped down, Koren was almost unanimously selected as the new High Councilor, owing to his wisdom and guidance provided during his tenure as defender. Koren was the only individual aware of the Fell One's influence during the imprisonment of Vylmira, and assisted the Confederate Strike Team in killing the beast. The effort cost him his life, however, and he died in 856 ABY, defending the people of Vylmira till his final breath.

- Kyyria Verros was the wife of Koren-Xho Verros, and mother of Kyyrk-Xho. Few records of her past exploits exist, but she was a renowned adventurer in her youth, and never strayed from a fight. After the birth of Kyyrk, she settled down to raise her newfound family, and was elected Councilor of her home region on Vylmira. She was killed in the battle against the Fell One, along with many other civilians as the Fell One lashed out against the Confederate Forces.
-
- Cortrin-Xho was the youngest of Kyyrk's children, but was the only one Force Sensitive among them. He was named as Kyyrk's heir, but after Kyyrk's death in 3630 BBY, left the known galaxy behind, and lived the life of a farmer. He still carried on the family legacy of defending the people around him when necessary, and venturing beyond the bounds of his planet in dire times. Cortrin is the only recorded Halfbreed (Being from a human mother) that has been given the distinction of being named Heir of the Verros Family. He died without offspring in 3610 BBY when defending the Miraluka Homeworld from an attack by Darth Sovryn.
-
- Kyyrk-Xho Verros is both the only recorded living member of the Verros Family, and the only recorded member to have joined the Sith Empire. After his return to the known galaxy, the now-named Darth Voph reclaimed his right as Heir of the Verros Family, and resumed the family legacy of helping those in need. He was elected High Councilor of Vylmira after the death of his father, in recognition for his role in rescuing the planet from the Fell One. It is unknown if Voph wishes to restore the family to its former glory, or to simply make one final stand against the flow of time.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Verros family began as a minor family of Miraluka predating the Mandalorian Wars. Over the years, the family began to make a name for itself as defenders and protectors, with each head of the house serving with either the Luka Sene, the Jedi, or sometimes both. Most of the records of the family have been lost during the events of the Gulag plague, leaving only Voph's recollection as the marker of the family's pre-Gulag history. In spite of this, Voph doesn't speak much of the family's old days. It is rumored that this is because of Voph's fractured memory at the hands of his first wife, meaning that much of the history of his family has been lost forever...
