Kiara Schmong was a Sullustan female that sold weapons to many factions during the Galactic Civil War; one of her favorite clients was the Kaarenth Dissension of Ennix Devian.
She was the aide to Captain Naren Bluuis but fled after she tried to lead a group of New Republic agents into an ambush to prevent them from finding an ancient relic.[1]
Behind the scenes
Kiara Schmong first appeared in the 1995 article "Relic" published in Adventure Journal #6. Originally named simply as Kiara,[1] she was given the surname "Schmong" in the 2013 article "The Imperial Warlords: Despoilers of an Empire."[2] According to one of the article's authors, Abel G. Peña, Kiara had been given the surname to imply she was a descendant of Ruggle Schmong, explaining her knowledge of ion technology.[3]
