BIOGRAPHY
Pre-History
Nearly 2,000 years ago a damaged cruiser carrying a group of refugees, following the Ruusan campaign, fled the planet, however their ship had the wrong coordinates and crash landed on the unknown and inhospitable planet, Kro Var. The survivors of the crashed eked out an existence on the inhospitable world. Eventualy, the population split into seperate clans, and over generations fought among themselves for resources. The result of that infighting was complete technological regression to the point where the preferred weapons were simple melee weapons. Eventually, some of the survivors demonstrated Force Sensitivity and became known as Shapers. The conflicts between clans became inscresingly more aggresive and the shapers played vital roles, they were able to "shape" the elements and lead their clans.
War With the Sky
(This section was written by another who participated on these boards as well. I thought it would be nice to incorporate somehow into the Kro Var History. Since that writer and faction is no longer around for me to get permission I give all credit to Ruye Etarn.)
The waring tribes were taken off guard, culturally shocked by the massive Trandoshan scout ships that decended from their sky. Fearful of the advanced technology which they considered extremely taboo, they descended into a state of panic. War errupted, with the clans engaging the raiders. This nearly resulted in their anhilation, desperate for survival an agreement was established, and enforced by the Trandoshans. Being hunted for sport regardless, many attempts of uniting the clans were attempted. This is when the "Exiles", some of the strongest shapers of their time, previously shunned as witches and warlocks for practicing the "Unseen", returned to find the reptilian invaders killing for sport. Then the legend of the "Conqueror of Kro Var" came to be. He relentlessly took advantage of the system and forced his way into power, stealing control and influencing his new subjects agaisnt their wills to support him as their new cheiftan. The people knew he was what they needed when they needed him so they followed their new charasmatic leader without question.
Through warfare and organized force, slowly the tribes of united, and defended each other agaisnt the Trandoshans. It would come to be that Lord Haru controlled a whole third of Kro Var, thats when he began his campaign agaisnt the Sky. He allowed his people to play victim, to be hunted and captured into enemy ships, using their captivity to attack from behind enemy lines. Haru's leadership pushed back the raiders, and ended the War with the Sky.
Though later he wanted to permanently establish himself as the King of Kro Var, to create an empire and utilize the technology left behind by the trandoshans to expand and travel off world. This was agaisnt the beliefs of the people, who were conservative at best. With that the Great Schism began.
The Great Schism
A divide was created, some people disliked what Haru was becoming, and his leadership was highly unpopular after the War with the Sky ended. His ideals of changing tradition and exposing the people to more destruction caused unrest. Thats when the highly capable, and former "Exile" Tac successfully took advantage of the widespread dissatification. He expossed Haru for his studies into the "Unseen" and exposed plans of him building an empire filled with technology. He used that to launch a smear campaign agaisnt his former assosciate and he gained favor with a large majority of the people who would later become his own followers. He led a revolt that would massively weaken the uprising monarchy. The power of Haru began to decline, a development that ultimately made the spread of Anarchy the only posible choice.
Kro Var was quickly slipping back into its past. The shapers began to enforce their powers over the others and a power struggle began slowly come about. Shapers went from being cheiftans and spiritual advisors to ruthless warlords vying for land. The constant fighting caused what scarce resources they had to disappear completely, so Tac took his followers to the East. While infighting began to emerge again in the West. He encouraged the other clans to temporarily unite till they could find a new place to settle. Sometime later, the clans settled in the East. The vast and uncharted land was given new name, now being the home of the new clans, the Eastern Approach was established. The predecessors of the Country took their clans and split, favoring establishing settlements throughout the mainland. Tac, with the help of fellow earth shapers, carved and built a settlement out of stone and the surrounding rock. The agglomeration began to grow into a city, the new metropolis became to be known as Patria Prime, the unofficial capital. The chieftans of Patria become increasingly powerful and began to unite and subjugate the numerous clans and peoples of the later colonies. Some chieftans remained in power as long as they submitted to Patria Prime.
Tac's grandson was the one to evenutaly put and end to the nonsense war, ending the "unification phase" and he himself crowned himself the first ruler of the Eastern Approach, stationed in the capital of Patria. He, however, was unable to establish a centralist or authoritan regime due to the sheer size of the nation. so most of it became a confederate monarchy, divided into several semi autonomous provinces.
Current History
Generations Later, King Agnook, a descendat of Tac is in power. Ursa was born during this time, born in Tellus, a autonomous city state in the Eastern Approach. Her mother was a middle class woman who found frendship with the current patriarch of Tellus, Juroden, before he came to power. As such when she died she came into his care. Juroden was a Earth Shaper who hailed from Patria, inspired by the story of Tac and their forefathers, he constructed a settlement with the use of earth shaping in the southeast region of the Eastern Approach. So some of the earlier stages and the rest of her later life wasn't one of hardship. she lived a decent life. She was taken in by Juroden when she was nine years old. Growing up she lived a privledged life, one that was heavily influenced by Jurodens ideaology concerning self-fulfillment. However deep down she struggled with the lost of her mother, and suffered night terrors from time to time. She was never given the truth behind why she was sent to live with Juroden, she always thought she was abandoned by her mother.
