Biography
Before the Clone Wars
She lost one eye to some street gangs prior to the Battle of Bandomeer.[1]
Battle of Bandomeer
LilVas fought for Babteer Pil during the Battle of Bandomeer, and she eventually joined their consolidation with the Separatist forces in Selbar, where they were besieged. She objected when General Grievous wanted to leave Selbar in attempt to kill Sadiya Keldon, and she advocated against trying to rescue him after the mission's failure.[1] Nonetheless, she was overruled by WanThir, who allowed TeenPat to go. Though Grievous was brought back to Selbar, TeenPat did not return, and LilVas became WanThir's clear second-in-command. Meanwhile, she had worked to organize an operation that was carried out a few days later by WaltinNab, who led a team of Babteer Pil through a pipe and into the Lake Nilseen Water Treatment Facility, where they killed the Clone Troopers guarding it and rendezvoused with Pilhak Niraski. They then sent 24 crates of supplies into Selbar via the same pipe before the Galactic Republic learned of what had happened and sent reinforcements.[1]
Endgame
LilVas aided in commanding Separatist forces when Kuallue and the Republic took the Valmin Water Treatment Facility. They attacked to seize it back, but once they realized that it was not feasible and would cost hundreds of droids, General Grievous decided to destroy it instead, forcing the Republic to get out of Selbar the way they came, through an underground tunnel and a well. However, the Republic still had already succeeded in their primary objective of poisoning the water supply and destroying the filtration equipment, forcing the Babteer Pil to rely exclusively on imported bottles that had arrived on the Venture. As such, it forced the Separatist command to accelerate their plans, with only about one week of water left.[1]
On the 2nd day of month 16, the Republic attacked Selbar's east wall, and LilVas and WanThir led the Babteer Pil forces defending it, while Grievous remained in the Demask. Although the wall was breached by walkers, they were pushed back in the end. Though they did not know it, this was part of Sadiya Keldon's plan, since she had already snuck behind their lines and into the town during the chaos. From there, she and Kuallue were able to sabotage their shield, making Selbar vulnerable to bombardment.[1]
At this point, the Republic began trying to go back down the cliffside to get away from their own bombardment, but General Grievous and WanThir were ready for this, initiating what they dubbed "Protocol Met:" using explosives to destroy the top of the cliff and cause rocks to tumble down onto the descending Grand Army, killing them in an avalanche while LilVas and the other Separatists watched safely from above.[1]
Meanwhile, General Grievous's Decoy was causing chaos on the Kalpana, which proved to their advantage when they moved the troops onto the plain below and tried to take camp aurek. In response, a large clone army massed between them and the camp, but Grievous activated a holographic projection of the Demask placed it between the Kalpana and the clone armies. With the blinded battlecruiser unable to see the difference, turbolaser blasts descended upon the fake frigate, going straight through it and onto the clone army. This made a clear path for Grievous, WanThir, and LilVas to march all of his troops directly into camp aurek and begin seizing the starships. WanThir and LilVas then boarded a CR25 Troop Carrier. On its log, she noticed that it had brought a dozen Febrillium Warheads to camp aurek, and she suspected that other carriers may have supplied more.[1]
They then used their newly acquired ships to attack and eventually destroy the Kalpana, thus freeing the way for the Separatists to flee the planet. LilVas pledged to continue fighting for the Confederacy on other planets. However, Grievous was feeling confident and instead decided to stand and fight against the two remaining Acclamator-class Assault Ships. She called him a madman for trying it, but she went along with the plan.[1]
After rendezvousing aboard the Demask, she informed Grievous about the warheads, and she agreed to go back down in order to find them so that they could be used in the final battle. She went back and brought them up an unused Wayfarer-class Frieghter, but by the time she arrived, the Separatist situation was dire, and their Micah Giiett was on the brink of being destroyed. She took her Wayfarer into middle of the battle, drawing fire and acting as a shield to save the Micah Giiett. Before her Wayfarer could be destroyed, she sent out the warheads tied to a V-19 Torrent pulling them into an Acclamator-class Assault Ship in a suicidal attack. It is unknown whether she was aboard the Torrent or the Wayfarer at the very end, but both ships were destroyed.[1]
Personality and Traits
LilVas had a very pessimistic view of warfare and preferred highly cautious tactics. She disliked the recklessness of General Grievous and was more focused on the efforts of Babteer Pil than the Separatist movement as a whole.[1] She had earned the respect of WanThir, who often sided with her when she argued with TeenPat.[1]
