Velya Faer

Velya Faer was a male Evereni born by around 397 BBY, who lived during the High Republic Era. At some point no earlier than 379 BBY, Velya and his twin sister Vika stopped at a space dock orbiting the gas giant Siquay to refuel their ship and were tracked down by the Evereni pirate leader Marda Ro who searched for others of her species. Ro sent the Faer siblings an invitation, and they were taken to the throne hall of Ro's starship, the Gaze Electric, by her raiders Esstrop and Kortanio.

Ro greeted Vika and Velya and asked them to join her for food. The siblings stayed aboard the Gaze for several days. During a feast, Ro's assistant Alirya attempted to kill Faer's sister but perished at Vika's hand during the attempt, which caused Ro to shoot Vika with a blaster. Faer was shaken by his sister's death, but ultimately accepted Ro's offer to take Alirya's former spot by her side and joined her. Ro later mentioned Faer in recordings she made for her descendants, which her great-great-grandson Marchion Ro had listened to by 252 BBY.
