- "Apparently, my father isn't the only one living in a dream world. You can't kill a Sith, you silly!"
- ―Vereta Fraabaal, speaking to a bounty hunter
Vereta Fraabaal was a Human female Sith apprentice in the time of the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire.
Biography
Born as a Force-sensitive daughter of Admiral Fraabaal, Vereta was trained as a Sith on Dromund Kaas, eventually becoming an apprentice of the Sith Lord, Grathan.[2]
After Lord Grathan's decision to go rogue, Vereta remained loyal to him, one of many apprentices withstanding the siege of his estate by the Imperial Military.[2]
Her father decided to hire a bounty hunter, the future Grand Champion of the Great Hunt, to kill her due to the political implications of Grathan's betrayal. The bounty hunter found her and engaged the Sith Acolyte in a duel. Vereta was defeated, shocked that she could be beaten by a being who was not Force-sensitive. She realized her folly in following Grathan's ways, and realized that her master had lied to her about her strength.[2]
Still in disbelief that she could be defeated by a common bounty hunter, the hunter killed her.[2]
Personality and traits
Like many Sith, Vereta was very confident in her abilities in the dark side. She was also very loyal to Grathan even after he went rogue. She believed that common bounty hunters couldn't kill Sith.[2]
Despite her strength and confidence, she knew she wasn't invincible. She admitted that she could be killed by a more powerful Sith, a lucky Jedi, or an explosion, but not by a bounty hunter. When the Hunter defeated her, however, she was shocked and in denial at having been proven wrong, even as she was killed.[2]
Vereta also considered imprisonment worse than death.[2]
Powers and abilities
Being Sith and a Sorcerer, she was skilled in lightsaber combat, but her true power was with her skill in the Force, as she could use Force lightning and even use Force storm.[2]
Behind the scenes
In the light side option, the bounty hunter freezes Vereta in carbonite and takes her to her father instead of killing her. This is an act the Sith apprentice sees as a fate worse than death. Mako will favor that option. Upon returning to Admiral Fraabaal, he is at first dismayed about having Verata brought to him alive though he thanks the hunter after expressing regret at trying to have her killed. He plans to have her locked until she comes to her senses.[2]

Notes and references

STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Old Republic — The Lost Suns 2 takes place ten years after the treaty, one week after the mission to Nar Shaddaa, and around the time of the SpecForce Incident. Since the mission and the incident are respectively part of Act I of the Jedi Knight and Republic Trooper's storylines, and the Trooper's Act I occurs concurrent to Act I of the Smuggler storyline, the general events of the Prologue and Act I for all classes can be assumed to occur in 3643 BBY.
