the saber a
practical hand-to-hand combat weapon. With distance weapons far more
popular with most Imperial citizens, however, they are still seldom
seen outside Subsector Sandeman.

The Vader clan's development of controlled-length laser beams, though
made specifically for the saber, has proven to be a significant one in
other fields as well, leading to numerous improvements in technologies
from medicine to heavy equipment manufacture. It has also, since
Ranger Medart assisted them in obtaining an Imperial patent on the
process, made the clan extremely wealthy.

LOSINJ, Corina: RCJ-2958-5865 (2548-19 Feb 2624) The first non-human
(Irschchan) Ranger, she was recruited by Ranger James Medart in 2569,
when she reported the White Order's impending rebellion. In the course
of stopping that rebellion, she and Medart experienced pattern rapport,
which revealed that he possessed a strong Talent, including a healing
aspect she had not previously encountered. She helped him train it as
much as possible during the trip to Terra, completing it after the
rebellion was over. Testing then showed the Sovereign and other
Rangers also had strong Talent, and Losinj trained them as well. That
degree of Talent, regardless of its specific aspect, was immediately
added to Ranger qualifications.

She accepted Nevan DarLeras as thakur-na in 2574, was elected Successor
in 2577 on Emperor Forrest's death, and succeeded to the Throne in
2603. She died in bed, with Nevan in attendance, in 2624.
