Biography
Edit
- "When her bid began failing, Xelian—Odion and Daiman's mother—declared war on Chagras."
- ―Arkadia Calimondra
Xelian was a Human[1] female Sith[2] who lived during the Republic Dark Age.[3] She was one of seven children born to Vilia Calimondra, a Sith Lord who had acquired a large empire in the Grumani sector, and Xelian claimed the right to become her mother's only heir. However, Xelian's brother Chagras and their five other siblings all made similar claims, so Calimondra instigated a contest—the Charge Matrica[2]—in 1,066 BBY,[4] to decide which of her children would become her heir. The siblings were tasked with the expansion of Calimondra's holdings, and the Sith Lord planned to appoint as her heir the individual who expanded her territories the furthest. For a time, Xelian and the other siblings cooperated, but eventually Xelian's bid began to flounder. As a result, she declared war on Chagras, which caused all of the siblings to initiate hostilities against each other.[2]
At some point, Xelian gave birth to a son, Odion, and she bore another child[2] in 1,057 BBY,[5] who was given the name Daiman. She also eventually became an aunt to Chagras' children, Dromika, Quillan, and Arkadia Calimondra.[2] During 1,052 BBY,[6] Xelian seduced the aging Sith Lord Mandragall and subsequently killed him during the night.[2] By 1,042 BBY,[7] Chagras was the only one of Calimondra's children left, and he became their mother's heir.[2]

Notes and references
Edit
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 The Knight Errant novel identifies Xelian's sons, Daiman and Odion, and her mother, Vilia Calimondra, as Humans, so the article therefore assumes that Xelian was also Human.

- ↑ The StarWars.com article Engineering with LEGOs: Creating the Ships of Knight Errant states that the Knight Errant novel is set in 1,032 BBY, and that Xelian lived during the years preceding the novel. The New Essential Chronology identifies this time frame as being part of the Republic Dark Age.
- ↑ The Knight Errant novel mentions that the Charge Matrica began 34 years before the events of the book. As the StarWars.com article Engineering with LEGOs: Creating the Ships of Knight Errant states that Knight Errant is set in 1,032 BBY, this places the start of the contest in 1,066 BBY.
- ↑ The Knight Errant novel mentions that Daiman was born 25 years before the events of the book. As the StarWars.com article Engineering with LEGOs: Creating the Ships of Knight Errant states that Knight Errant is set in 1,032 BBY, this dates Daiman's birth to 1,057 BBY.
- ↑ The Knight Errant novel mentions that Mandragall died 20 years before the events of the book. As the StarWars.com article Engineering with LEGOs: Creating the Ships of Knight Errant states that Knight Errant is set in 1,032 BBY, this dates Mandragall's death to 1,052 BBY.
- ↑ The Knight Errant novel states that Chagras became Vilia Calimondra's heir at some point prior to an attack on the planet Aquilaris. The comic Star Wars: Knight Errant 2: Aflame, Part 2 states that the attack on Aquilaris took place ten years before the Knight Errant comic series, which according to Star Wars: Knight Errant 0 is set in 1,032 BBY, thus meaning that Chagras must have won the Charge Matrica during or before 1,042 BBY.
