Viess's army

Viess's army was a warrior-kin led by General Abediah Viess during the High Republic Era. During that time, they were hired by the Field Marshal Tozen of the Bethune army to support his siege of Firevale on the planet of Gansevor. In exchange, Viess's army would be allowed to loot the city for 12 hours. However, during their mission, Viess betrayed Tozen, killing him and seizing command of the operation in order to destroy the city and completely loot it, firing on civilian targets in the process. Ultimately, Princess Sicatra, heir to Bethune's royal family, Jedi Master Porter Engle, and the Bethune army inflicted heavy casualties on the group, forcing them to abandon their efforts to destroy the city and flee the planet.

Viess's army later traveled to Allard and began to terrorize the population after learning that Avar Kriss was using the planet as a base of operations.
