Sev'eere'nuruodo
Sev'eere'nuruodo, whose core name was Veeren, held the position of Aristocra within the Nuruodo family, and was a female Chiss during the era of the Clone Wars. Back in 21 BBY, she engaged in communication with Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, ultimately agreeing to a meeting with a Republic representative in Chiss territory. Veeren's meeting took place with Nuru Kungurama, a Jedi Padawan, and members of Breakout Squad aboard Defense Force Station Ifpe'a. During these discussions, Veeren maintained a detached stance, declining to participate in the ongoing war. Unexpectedly, a fleet belonging to the Techno Union launched an assault on the station. As a result, Veeren lost consciousness and later awoke within hyperspace aboard the Hasty Harpy, the ship of Breakout Squad, captained by Lalo Gunn. Mistakenly believing she had been abducted, Veeren dismissed Kungurama's attempts to offer reassurance.
Not long after, a black hole disrupted the Hasty Harpy's journey through hyperspace, pulling it out of its course. The crew encountered pirates who had been trapped in that region for an extended period. Breakout Squad made the decision to collaborate with the pirates in an effort to escape their predicament. The pirates guided them towards an ancient Infinity Gate, which they successfully activated to achieve their escape. Following this, Veeren concluded her association with Breakout Squad.
Afterward, Breakout Squad embarked on a mission to Vaced that was ultimately doomed. Subsequently, they seized control of Bilbringi Depot from the Techno Union. Amidst their celebration, an unidentified vessel approached. Upon landing, Veeren emerged and revealed to Kungurama that she had been tracking him with the intention of sharing crucial information. Her assessment of recent occurrences led her to believe that they were all being subjected to manipulation. She advised the Padawan to undertake an investigation, but to keep it secret due to the possibility of spies being present. Without providing further details, Veeren departed. As her ship left the Depot, another ship, carrying Ring-Sol Ambase, Kungurama's master, arrived. Veeren engaged the other ship with weapons fire, but inflicted no damage. The other vessel retaliated, destroying her ship, apparently killing her. Ambase then departed, while Veeren had actually simulated her death. Later, she met with Chancellor Palpatine on Coruscant to express her concerns regarding the conspiracy and discuss the potential for an alliance between the Republic and the Chiss.
Biography
The Arrival of the Clone Wars in Chiss Space
Back in 21 BBY, Sev'eere'nuruodo, known by her core name as "Veeren", held the rank of Aristocra within the Nuruodo family of the Chiss, during the period of the Clone Wars. The Chiss Ascendancy established contact with Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic during that year. In the course of a conversation with the Chancellor, Veeren consented to a meeting with a representative from the Republic. Consequently, she provided the coordinates of Defense Force Station Ifpe'a to the chancellor and proceeded to the station.
Shortly after, a starship named Hasty Harpy, with the Republic ambassador, Chiss Jedi Padawan Nuru Kungurama aboard, arrived. Veeren made her way to the hangar to welcome the Jedi. However, she quickly noticed that Kungurama was quite different from a "typical" Chiss and lacked experience as an ambassador. Veeren decided to keep their conversation brief, stating that the Chiss would remain neutral during the Clone Wars. Following this, she dismissed Nuru and his escort, the Clone troopers of Breakout Squad. As the Hasty Harpy prepared for departure, the space station came under attack by forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Veeren attempted to use her datapad to get an update, but one of the clone troopers tackled her before the datapad exploded. She struck the ground and lost consciousness. Later, she woke up on the Hasty Harpy. She attempted to leave her cabin and go back to the station, but a clone trooper prevented her. Moments later, the Hasty Harpy jumped into Hyperspace. Subsequently, Veeren disregarded the attempts of Nuru and Lalo Gunn, the captain of the Hasty Harpy, to explain the "kidnapping," as Veeren perceived it, and refused to believe the station was destroyed.
After some time in hyperspace an unexpected anomaly caused the Hasty Harpy to withdraw from hyperspace. After checking the notifications the crew discovered a black hole holding them, and a few minutes later they also spotted a group of pirates. Now Gunn and Kungurama succeeded in persuading Veeren to cooperate. But the pirates didn't want to rob them; on the contrary the pirate's leader Hethra Mcgrrrr asked them to join the gang, because no one could leave the system through the pull of a nearby black hole. Gunn accepted the offer. When the pirates learned that Kungurama was a Jedi, they hoped to free their ships from the pull of the black hole which prevented the jump to hyperspace. Now the pirates wanted to use an Infinity Gate, which two marooned Sullustan archaeologists had discovered to leave the system. On Plundermoon Kungurama activated the Gate and the Hasty Harpy jumped back to Defense Force Station Ifpe'a, where the fleet of pirate ships defeated Overseer Umbrag and his Techno Union armada. Afterward, Veeren was able to leave the crew of the Hasty Harpy and return to Chiss space.
Meeting with Kungurama
Following the Hasty Harpy's departure from Chiss space, its crew embarked on an escort mission to Vaced. The rebuilt droid Cleaver discovered a tracking device on the ship. After Vaced, the crew went to Bilbringi Depot to search for Kungurama's missing Master. Breakout Squad liberated the Depot from the Techno Union. As the squad was celebrating, they spotted a vessel approaching the hangar and concealed themselves. When it landed, Aristocra Veeren disembarked. She greeted a surprised Kungurama and said she came unarmed and that the others could reveal themselves; she revealed it was she who had placed the tracking device on the Hasty Harpy that was now on Cleaver. When Kungurama asked why she was following them, she replied it was so she could follow them and reveal important information. She had analyzed recent events and concluded that there was a probability someone was manipulating them all in a conspiracy dating back eleven years; she then suggested Kungurama should investigate. When the Padawan suggested that she should go to Coruscant and pass on this information, she interrupted and said they should tell no one, then immediately turned to go. A confused Kungurama tried to ask for more information, but Veeren replied that based on his query, he understood perfectly. Boarding her ship, she took off.
Subsequently, another ship entered the area, carrying Ring-Sol Ambase, Kungurama's master. Veeren fired three laser beams at it, which did not damage the ship. The other ship returned fire and destroyed Veeren's ship. Ambase, sensing his Padawan's shock at the demise of the Aristocra and mistaking the shock for a betrayal, fled the area. Unbeknownst to Kungurama, though, Veeren faked her death. She detonated the outer hull of the ship and made a microjump into hyperspace to escape.
Secret meeting with Chancellor Palpatine
Later, Veeren journeyed to Coruscant with the intention of sharing her concerns about the conspiracy with Chancellor Palpatine, but ceased to believe the conspiracy. She wished for him to conceal her survival, and discussed forming an alliance between the Chiss and the Republic. She said the alliance might take place after the Clone Wars had ended and departed.
Personality and traits
Veeren possessed a haughty and detached demeanor, displaying suspicion towards outsiders and placing her trust primarily in her fellow Chiss. She was known for keeping secrets to herself. Following her rescue, she exhibited a lack of cooperation with the crew of the Hasty Harpy. She wore a black uniform.
Notably, she winced upon hearing Kungurama's mispronunciation of her title. She demonstrated a willingness to risk her life by traveling alone to Bilbringi Depot, but hesitated to share confidential information with outsiders. While she concealed her survival from Kungurama, she was willing to confide in Chancellor Palpatine regarding her secret.
