Neera (Force 57)

Neera was the scar-faced Force-sensitive leader of the Force 57 on the 3000 BBY. She was a big-built Human woman who had many scars on her face and her hand had only three webbed fingers, but was the least gruesome of her group. As a member of Force 57, Neera revered the "Other 57"—the Red Sith members of the original crew of the Omen, the Sith starship which brought the ancestors of the Lost Tribe of Sith to the planet Kesh during the Great Hyperspace War. Neera and her fellow Force 57 members had a hostile relationship with the other Sith factions particularly the Sisters of Seelah and the Korsinite League, which revered and worshipped several members of the Korsin family, which had played an important role in the purge of the Red Sith.

In 3000 BBY, Neera along with the other faction leaders visited the Sith capital of Tahv to attend Testament Day, where the testament of the Tribe's founder Yaru Korsin was read to the Sith Tribe. During that Testament Day, the assembled Sith leadership discovered a hologram transmission which revealed that the Tribe was actually descended from slaves of the Sith Lord Naga Sadow, who was a member of the same species as the "Other 57". The Tribe quickly learnt that they were not "special" and this drove many of its members into a homicidal rampage during the Great Crisis.

Neera abandoned her beliefs during that crisis and many of her fellow Force 57 adherents were killed during the fighting between various Sith factions. Later, she and the other surviving members of Force 57 supported a construction project by Edell Vrai and Korsin Bentado which sought to purge the last relic of the Tribe's shameful history by destroying the Omen, which was housed beneath the Kesh Sith Temple. Neera later supported the Caretaker Varner Hilts' ascension to the Grand Lordship, which ended the Time of the Rot and ushered in the Hilts Restoration.
