Viess's warrior-kin, operating in the High Republic Era, was under the command of General Abediah Viess. They were contracted by Tozen, the Field Marshal of the Bethune army, to assist in his siege of Firevale on Gansevor. The agreement stipulated that they could plunder the city for half a day. But, during the mission, Viess double-crossed Tozen, murdering him and taking control of the entire operation. Her goal was to obliterate the city and pillage it completely, even targeting non-combatants. In the end, Sicatra, Porter Engle, and the Bethunian army dealt them significant losses, forcing them to give up their destructive aims and escape the planet.
