Unidentified Quarren (Lula Talisola)

A Quarren was present at a cantina on the planet Eiram in 230 BBY not long after the orbiting space station Starlight Beacon had been destroyed. While there, they approached the human Jedi Lula Talisola, who had arrived at the tavern after surviving the disaster, and held the woman at blasterpoint. The two, along with the cru Cham Cham, exited the cantina and began to walk toward a hangar that housed the Quarren's starship.

Once they entered, the Quarren attempted to have the weeping Talisola set foot in the vehicle. The Jedi, in fear, used the Force upon the Quarren, which sent them soaring into the air before striking several items. Talisola attempted to tend to the injured Quarren, but they escaped the hangar in panic from her actions. Talisola, confused, proceeded to steal the starship and departed through hyperspace.

Biography

During the High Republic Era, a Quarren was present at a cantina on Eiram shortly after the space station Starlight Beacon was destroyed^[1] in the atmosphere above the planet by the Nihil marauders.^[2] In 230 BBY,^[3] the lost Jedi Padawan Lula Talisola,^[1] who was on board the space station when it plummeted,^[4] stumbled into the tavern and approached the bar top, unaware of who she was or what had occurred. The Quarren spotted the lone human and abruptly stood from their seat, making their way toward Talisola before holding the woman at gunpoint. Talisola and the cru Cham Cham were forced out of the establishment with the Quarren's blaster pointed at the two. After walking along the coast, the three entered a hangar where the Quarren attempted to have the Jedi enter their starship.^[1]

Frightened and sobbing, Talisola held her hands up before unknowingly utilizing the Force upon her enemy, who was flung into the air before crashing into several items. She then attempted to help the injured Quarren, but they fled in terror from the surprise attack. Despite the confusion that set in upon Talisola, she vowed after the engagement with the Quarren to be whomever she needed to be to pull through. From there, Talisola, with Cham Cham by her side, stole the ship owned by the Quarren before traveling through the galaxy. The two eventually ended up on the moon Bracront.^[1] In 229 BBY,^[5] Talisola mentally remembered and vocalized the moments with the Quarren to the Mikkian Zeen Mrala, voicing not knowing who she was or what the Force was.^[1]

Personality and traits

After spotting Talisola in the cantina, the Quarren hastily approached the human before attempting to deliver the discontented Jedi and the cru to their starship. The Quarren was almost triumphant in their endeavor, but scampered in terror after the Jedi employed the Force upon them. They had blue eyes and salmon skin.^[1]

Equipment

The Quarren wore a white shirt under a green jacket, along with tan pants and brown boots. Additionally, the Quarren wore a brown bandolier around their chest and a brown belt with pockets along their waist. They wielded a blaster and owned a starship, the latter of which was stolen by Talisola.^[1]
