About Kira Carsen

Kira Carsen was born on Dromund Kaas to Sith parents and taken from them as a child by the Sith Emperor’s servants to become one of the Children of the Emperor. She was trained at the Sith Academy on Korriban, where her childhood was brutal enough that she eventually fled the Empire by stowing away on a freighter. She escaped to Nar Shaddaa, survived for years in the alleys and refugee districts, and developed the streetwise independence that stayed with her even after becoming a Jedi. Her life changed when she tried to steal a hyperdrive engine from Jedi Master Bela Kiwiiks, who sensed her connection to the Force and brought her into the Jedi Order as her Padawan. Kira later served with Kiwiiks on Tython and Coruscant during the crisis surrounding Darth Angral’s superweapons. After Kiwiiks left on a separate mission, Kira was reassigned as the Padawan of the Jedi Knight who became known as the Hero of Tython. As they pursued Angral’s agents across the Republic, Kira’s hidden past as a Child of the Emperor was exposed, causing some Jedi to doubt her loyalty. During the final confrontation with Angral, the Emperor tried to use her as his puppet, but Kira resisted his control, opened herself to the light, and severed his hold over her. Afterward, the Jedi Council formally raised her to the rank of Jedi Knight. Kira continued fighting beside the Hero of Tython during the renewed war between the Republic and Sith Empire. She joined the Jedi strike team led by Tol Braga in an attempt to capture and redeem the Sith Emperor, but the mission failed when the Emperor overwhelmed and corrupted the group. After being freed from his influence, Kira and her allies worked to stop the Emperor’s agents from causing destruction on a galactic scale. She remained one of the Hero’s closest companions through the campaign that ended with the Emperor’s defeat on Dromund Kaas.
