Avar Kriss

Avar Kriss was a human female Jedi Master of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era. Noble and selfless, Kriss was an inspiration to many of her fellow Jedi. She served on the Starlight Beacon, a space station on the frontier of the galaxy. Kriss was heavily involved in the aftermath of the hyperspace catastrophe known as the Great Hyperspace Disaster, when the Legacy Run split apart in hyperspace, causing fragments of the ship to crash through the Hetzal system at incredible speeds, coordinating the effort to protect the star system from the hyperspace anomalies. In the aftermath of the incident, Kriss worked with Jedi Knight Elzar Mann, her best friend from her days at the Jedi Temple, to discover how the accident occurred as well as research how to stop the continued Emergences, where pieces of the Legacy Run emerged from hyperspace to cause damage across the galaxy.

Kriss was successful in her command of the operation and eventually was given control of Starlight Beacon after it became operational. After helping to put a stop to the Drengir crisis, Kriss helped lead the Republic's response to the Nihil marauders who had caused the Great Hyperspace Disaster in the first place. As the Nihil conflict dragged on, Kriss continued to put pressure on herself and began to give into her anger. Her efforts led to the Battle for No-Space, in which Kriss, overcome with rage, tried to execute Nihil Tempest Runner Lourna Dee.
