Following the Battle of Yavin, Varias achieved the rank of lieutenant within the Corellian Security Force. His base of operations was located in the city of Coronet, situated on Corellia.
In the year 1 ABY, CorSec received reports concerning the presence of hostile Clone Wars era battle droids operating within the Bindreg Hills. Consequently, a team, commanded by Lieutenant Varias and including Officers Savas, Hirka, Kener, Mener, alongside several CorSec troopers, was deployed from Coronet to conduct an investigation. The team uncovered an ancient, fully automated droid factory, believed to have been secretly constructed by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. CorSec overlooked the fact that IG-88 had reactivated the factory for his Droid Revolution project. Although the droid factory was heavily guarded by battle droids, the Corellian government hesitated to dispatch reinforcements, aiming to avoid attracting the attention of the Galactic Empire.
Lieutenant Varias gave assignments to his officers with the goal of deactivating the droid factory. Agent Savas received the mission to enlist independent spacers to aid CorSec within the factory. Sergeant Hirka was instructed to perform reconnaissance on the factory. Technical officer Kener was tasked with discovering a method to shut down the facility, while Sergeant Mener was assigned to engage the droids in combat. After Sergeant Hirka and her squad disappeared, Lieutenant Varias sent a spacer to rescue her. Subsequently, the spacer collaborated with Officer Kener to create a security vulnerability in the factory's control system. Ultimately, Varias charged the spacer with accessing the control override terminal located deep within the facility. The spacer eventually reached the terminal within the command center and successfully shut down the factory. According to Lieutenant Varias, the assistance of the spacers was essential to contain the crisis and prevent a catastrophe.
Later, Varias requested a spacer's help for an associate, Wernell Covington, on the moon of Rori.
Lieutenant Varias appeared as a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies. This massively multiplayer online roleplaying game was created by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts. The game was shut down on December 15, 2011. Lieutenant Varias was added to the game as part of the "Corellian Droid Factory" storyline with the release of "Game Update 12," on August 10, 2009.
