Varda, a Mandalorian of Human descent and female, participated in the Great Sith War as a combatant. As the conflict raged, Varda developed feelings for Dorjander Kace, a prisoner of war, and subsequently conceived his child. Tragically, Varda perished in a Republic aerial assault commanded by a Jedi; her bereaved partner then returned to the ranks of the Jedi Order once the War concluded.
