BiographyEdit

Saren Valek was the Padawan learner of Alec, a respected Jedi Knight. However, in 34 BBY, Valek fell to the dark side of the Force thanks to Karae Nalvas, a fallen Jedi.^[1] Valek took Alec's blue-bladed lightsaber^[2] and abandoned his former master to train with Nalvas.^[1][2] For three years, Alec tracked the dark pair unsuccessfully.^[1]

In 31 BBY, Nalvas went to the Cularin system with Valek. Nalvas wanted to build a giant, armored flying city with enough firepower to destroy any of the other flying cities in the planet Genarius. When the fortress Conkesta was almost operative, Valek remained onboard of her.^[2]

Soon afterward, Alec sent a team of independent adventurers to infiltrate in the Conkesta and upload a virus in her computer, hurtling her to her destruction in the planet core and activating alarms during the process. Valek and eighteen guards went to the hangar, where they met the raiders. Valek contacted with Nalvas using a hologram, and Nalvas ordered them to kill the intruders. Twelve of the guards chose not to obey, trying instead to abandon the doomed ship; but Nalvas and the other guards did their best to stop the trespassers from leaving the Conkesta before it was obliterated.^[2]

Behind the scenesEdit

The plot of Into the Storm Clouds suggests that the player characters either kill Valek or escape from him, leaving him to die in the condemned Conkesta. Although canon specifies that the Conkesta is destroyed^[3], it does not specify Valek's fate. Further sources featuring Nalvas (eg. A Mon Alone) fail to mention Valek or his death.

Valek has two different sets of RPG statistics for the gamemaster to choose depending on the skill of the player characters.
