Viras Naq was born in the Empire to Imperial Knights Zik and Pivas Lix Naq. When Viras was old enough she was accepted into the order of the Imperial Knights. She was a fast learner. In 1,002 ABY, Viras’ parents were killed when the Sith took over the Empire. As Viras was a very young member and only a student at the academy of the Imperial Knights, the master of the school took her and many other young students into hiding.
