Mera


A female individual, whose name was Mera, was in a marital union with TK329, who served as a stormtrooper within the Imperial forces. In 1 BBY, they became parents to a male child named Gareth. During that year, Mera's spouse was exposed to the Blackwing virus, a deadly disease, while he was stationed on the Imperial Star Destroyer known as the Vector. TK329 had intended to host a large celebration upon returning home for shoreleave when the epidemic started, and he felt that his wife and son shared his enthusiasm for this objective. Shortly before succumbing to the illness, TK329 sent out a public communication with the hope that his family would receive it. In his message, he instructed Gareth to provide care for Mera after he was gone, and he conveyed his love to both of them. The stormtrooper also declared his intention to flee the Star Destroyer with a group of other survivors, but he passed away before he could carry out this plan.

Behind the scenes

Three posts on TK329's fictional Twitter feed mentioned Mera. This Twitter feed was launched in 2009 as a promotional tool for the then-forthcoming novel Death Troopers, which was penned by Joe Schreiber.
