Sev'Rance Tann
this female Chiss was born on the planet Csilla, and was one of the few members of her race to exhibit a sensitivity to the Force. Although she was a skilled tactician, many attributed her remarkable abilities on the battlefield to her connection to the Force, although she preferred to demonstrate her skills without resorting to any mystical powers. She was known for her demanding attitude and almost casual brutality. During her eraly military training, a professor challenged her to make a competent battle force from a group of untrainable Yresilini. She chose one individual to serve as her "General", teaching only the most basic commands. When the "General" and the other Yresilini laughed at her methods, she killed the "General" and chose a second. From that point forward, the Yresilini obeyed her every command. During the last years of the Old Republic, she came under the scrutiny of Count Dooku. She was trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force, and became one of the leaders in the military of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. She participated in the Battle of Geonosis before being given command of a group of Decimator tanks on Sarapin, where she managed to defeat the forces of the Old Republic. Sev'ranace Tann was then sent to Krant, where she was captured by Echuu Shen-Jon. She made the fatal mistake of underestimating his fury, for his own Padawan, Stam Reath, had been killed by Tann on Geonosis. Shen-Jon took revenge for Reath's death, and executed Tann without remorse.
