Kara, a medic with Force-sensitive abilities who was simultaneously learning the path of the Jedi, was stationed on a New Republic picket ship. This very ship was responsible for locating the last surviving Outrider-class cruiser from the Order of the Silver Jedi. When Captain Korsu and his team boarded the cruiser, Kara joined them. She warned the captain of a dark presence she sensed. Almost instantly after delivering this warning, a Force Vampire violently burst through their ranks, seized Kara, and extinguished her life force.
