Marasiah Fel

Marasiah Fel was the daughter of Emperor Roan Fel and Empress Elliah Fel, heir to the throne of the Fel Empire and a Force-sensitive member of the dynasty founded by Jagged Fel. She trained under Elke Vetter in the traditions of the Imperial Knights and frequently served her father as an undercover emissary, traveling to Imperial worlds to determine whether their governors remained loyal. When Darth Krayt and the One Sith seized the Imperial throne, Marasiah was forced into hiding while her father established an Empire-in-exile from Bastion. Krayt eventually dispatched Darth Talon to eliminate her, drawing Marasiah into the wider struggle that brought her into contact with Cade Skywalker and his companions.

After rejoining her father on Bastion, Marasiah completed her training and formally became an Imperial Knight. She took an active role in the campaign against Krayt’s Sith Empire as the Fel loyalists joined forces with the remnants of the Galactic Alliance and the New Jedi Order. During the final struggle for Coruscant, Roan Fel became consumed by his determination to destroy the Sith and prepared to unleash a weapon that would have killed countless civilians along with his enemies. Marasiah remained faithful to the Imperial Knights’ highest obligation and opposed her father when he fell from the light, allowing the catastrophic plan to be stopped.

Following the defeat of Darth Krayt and the collapse of his regime, Marasiah inherited the Imperial throne as Empress. Rather than restore the Fel Empire as the sole galactic government, she joined Galactic Alliance Admiral Gar Stazi and Jedi Master K’Kruhk in establishing the Galactic Federation Triumvirate, uniting their surviving governments after years of war. As Empress, she worked to rebuild galactic communications through the G51 network while directing the Imperial Knights against surviving Sith forces and seeking to stabilize worlds damaged by Krayt’s rule.

Appearance: Marasiah Fel has warm tan skin and a tall, athletic, curvaceous build with broad shoulders, a full bust, a narrow waist, rounded hips, and powerful legs. Her eyes are brown beneath dark, sharply defined brows. Her hair is very long, thick, and dark chestnut brown, falling well past her waist in loose waves, with the upper sections swept back from her face. A prominent white streak runs through the front of her hair near the center, standing out strongly against the surrounding brown. Her upper body is covered by a fitted black ribbed undersuit with a high segmented collar and long sleeves, layered beneath brilliant crimson-red armor. The chest armor consists of large sculpted plates fitted closely over the torso, divided by narrow recessed seams and extending into articulated abdominal segments. Broad red shoulder pauldrons curve outward over the upper arms, with black recessed panels, angular ridges, and a circular black-and-white insignia set into one shoulder.

Her forearms are protected by long crimson-red gauntlets with raised ridges, pointed panel shapes, and black inset sections, while fitted black gloves cover her hands. A wide dark brown utility belt circles her waist and fastens with a large square silver buckle marked by a circular central detail. Beneath the belt, layered dark brown fabric panels hang over the front and sides of her hips, forming long tabard-like sections that reach toward her knees. Her legs are covered by fitted black trousers with smooth leather-like sections across the thighs and reinforced black knee armor. Tall black boots extend nearly to the knees, built from layered shin plates, horizontal segmented bands, heavy soles, and broad low heels. A long dark brown cape falls from her shoulders and extends nearly to the ground in heavy folds

Personality: Marasiah is strong-willed, proud, courageous, and deeply conscious of the responsibilities attached to the Fel throne. Although raised as an Imperial princess, she refuses to treat her own survival as more important than the lives of those serving around her and repeatedly places herself in danger rather than allow Imperial Knights to sacrifice themselves without cause. Her training gives her a disciplined understanding of duty, yet she remains independent enough to challenge Imperial authority when she believes it has become morally corrupt. As Empress, she favors unity and legitimacy over domination, believing lasting government requires the trust of those it rules rather than obedience maintained solely through military strength.

Roan Fel is Marasiah’s father and Emperor, whose struggle against Darth Krayt shapes much of her early life; despite her loyalty to him, she ultimately places the principles of the Imperial Knights above obedience when he falls toward the dark side. Elliah Fel is her mother, while Hogrum Chalk, Elliah’s brother, is her maternal uncle and another member of her family circle. Elke Vetter is Marasiah’s Imperial Knight mentor. Antares Draco is her fellow Imperial Knight and romantic partner, although Roan strongly opposes their relationship and attempts to separate them. Cade Skywalker becomes an important ally after helping save her from Darth Talon, while Ganner Krieg, Sigel Dare, and the other Imperial Knights serve beside her throughout the war. Gar Stazi and K’Kruhk later become her fellow leaders within the Galactic Federation Triumvirate, while Darth Krayt, Darth Talon, and the One Sith remain the enemies responsible for overthrowing her family’s Empire and plunging the galaxy into another Sith war.

Marasiah is a trained Imperial Knight with a strong connection to the Force, giving her access to telekinesis, enhanced perception, Force-assisted movement, mental influence, and heightened combat awareness. She can use the Force to leap across considerable distances, manipulate objects and her surroundings during combat, detect deception, and sense the deaths of people close to her. Her Imperial Knight training also makes her a capable lightsaber duelist and disciplined battlefield fighter accustomed to facing Sith opponents directly.

Her primary weapon is the distinctive red-bladed lightsaber carried by the Imperial Knights, accompanied by the protective armor associated with their order. Marasiah is also trained in covert operations and speaks several languages, including Basic, Bocce, High Galactic, and Huttese, skills developed through her missions as an Imperial emissary. Even after becoming Empress, she continues to regard herself as an Imperial Knight and is willing to enter combat personally rather than restrict herself to the throne.
