Invasion of Lan Barell

Sometime during the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the Empire invaded the planet Lan Barell. Among the relief workers trapped on the world was Thelonia Redrish, a Kuati noble who had been participating in relief missions to the Outer Rim Territories. Upon witnessing bloodshed for the first time, she decided to pick up a blaster, and she quickly became a leader among the civilian resistance to the Empire thanks to her natural charm and selflessness. Under her leadership, the planet's inhabitants drove the Empire off their world, and Redrish went on to do the same on many worlds throughout the remainder of the war, eventually becoming a general in the Republic Military.
