"…the only person ever to put me behind bars!"
Nym[2]

Vana Sage was a female Human pilot and mercenary, who hindered the Trade Federation around the time of the Invasion of Naboo.

Biography[]

Fighting the Trade Federation[]

"Not long after capturing Nym, Sage found out that the Trade Federation had a put out a contract for her termination. After that, well, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. I guess Nym thought it was a good idea to keep Sage close to help avoid being imprisoned in the future. Ah, I'm not doing the story justice. Let's just say that Nym and Sage busted a lot of Trade Federation heads."

Vana Sage

Sage left her home planet of Alderaan at fifteen to become a starfighter pilot. She served for a time with the Naboo Royal Security Forces, but left in disgust after her attempts to get the Naboo to increase their weak defenses were rebuffed.[1] As she grew older, Sage became a mercenary and took a job as a "troubleshooter" for the Trade Federation, testing the abilities of new Trade Federation equipment. Around this time, she contracted a rogue Xi Char engineer to create the Guardian Mantis. She also obtained the bomber of the Feeorin pirate Nym.

While testing the Scarab craft, she intercepted an incriminating transmission sent to the Trade Federation. The federation then attempted to have her terminated. She soon teamed up with Bravo Pilot Rhys Dallows and Nym to stop the Federation's invasion of Naboo.

Following the battle, Sage accepted a pardon from the Galactic Senate and a position in the Royal Naboo Security Forces. In 24 BBY, at the request of Queen Padmé Amidala, she compiled information on Nym to be sent to Jedi Master Adi Gallia.

Two years later, Sage reunited with Nym in time to help the Lok Revenants reclaim their base on Lok from Trade Federation forces under Cavik Toth's command. Following that battle, Sage departed to track down Reti, last seen fleeing the bounty hunter Jango Fett to regions unknown.

Galactic Civil War[]

"Ah, yes! Vana Sage. Always on top of security for Nym. I'm not sure why she sticks with those Lok Revenants, though. Did you ever hear how Sage met Nym? Funny story."

After the defeat of the Trade Federation, Vana Sage stayed with the Lok Revenants,[4] serving as Nym's head of security for years.[3] Following the Clone Wars, Nym assumed the leadership of the planet Lok and ruled the planet for decades. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, Lok had fallen under the control of the Galactic Empire, but Nym remained the effective ruler of the planet.[5]

In 1 ABY,[6] Vana Sage discovered that an Imperial starship had crashed-landed in the deserts of Lok after it took off from a secret Imperial mining installation on the planet. As the Revenants had never been able to infiltrate the Imperial mine, Sage realized that the cargo could contain valuable information regarding Imperial activities on Lok. However, the cargo of the crashed ship was soon salvaged by enemies of the Lok Revenants, the Sulfur Lake Pirates.[3]

Vana Sage therefore organized an operation to raid the Sulfur Lake Pirate Hideout. She recruited a group of skilled spacers who recently arrived on Lok and offered them to join the Lok Revenants.[3] Using the knowledge of the engineer Choster, the spacers broke through the defenses of the hideout and attacked the pirates. Finally, they collected the memory module of an Imperial droid that was present in the crashed ship and brought it back to Vana Sage.[7]

Following the attack on the Sulfur Lake Pirate Hideout, the tensions between the Lok Revenants and the Sulfur Lake Pirates turned to open war. After some setbacks,[8] the pirates set up an elaborate plan to directly attack Nym in his palace. They hijacked a shuttle carrying an envoy of Tatooinan politicians to a meeting with Nym. As the shuttle landed in the courtyard of Nym's palace, Nym and the other leaders of the Lok Revenants—Vana Sage, Kole and Jinkins—arrived to greet the Tatooinan envoy. A battle subsequently erupted in the palace when the Sulfur Lake Pirates emerged unexpectedly from the shuttle and attacked the Revenants. However, the superior fighting skills of Nym's henchmen allowed them to eliminate every Sulfur Lake Pirate. Nym, Vana Sage, and the other leaders of the Lok Revenants survived the attack.[9]

  6. According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
