'''''Voren Na'al'''''

'''''Quote:''''' <br />
''"My critics have often scoffed that I cannot see the galaxy for the systems, for I tend to get bogged down on individual personalities. I believe the smallest pieces are as important as the whole they make, which is why I approach history—even current history—from the individuals who help create it."'' <br />

'''Description:''' <br />
Voren Na'al was a prominent [[Human]] male historian in the service of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and its various successor governments. He began his career as a reporter for the [[Galactic News Service]]. His experiences and imprisonment during the Imperial overthrow of the government of [[Corsin]] drove him into the arms of the Alliance. There, after a stint as a spy, he became a historian under Master Historian Arhul Hextrophon, tasked with compiling the histories of the Heroes of [[Yavin]]. Na'al traveled to [[Tatooine]] and [[Galvoni III]] to acquire information and context on the events preceding the battle, and conducted interviews with the participants, submitting the information in a report to Hextrophon. Subsequent reports included an attempt to discover the truth behind Han Solo and Chewbacca's adventures on [[Aduba-3]], a 168,000 DSU report on the Rebel Alliance for [[Mon Mothma]], an account of the events surrounding the Battle of [[Hoth]] and the tribulations of the Heroes of Yavin afterward, a piece on the Battle of [[Turak IV]], and a report on the Battle of [[Endor]]. 

With the dawn of the New Republic, Na'al's historical works led him to continued advancement. He became the Director of New Republic Council Research and Assistant Historian to the Republic, and he created reports on Grand Admiral Thrawn's and the resurrected Palpatine's campaigns, as well as of Han Solo's experiences in the Corporate Sector years before. He also compiled the Oral History of the New Republic, and later edited and annotated ''"Ten Years After: Notes on the Mature Organizational and Administrative Structure of the New Republic,"'' an article by the Chief Historian of the Kellmer Institute.
 
Na'al retired as Head of New Republic Council Research, becoming a history professor and marrying former deep-cover spy Rivoche Tarkin, with whom he had several children. After the Yuuzhan Vong War, he became archivist emeritus of the Historical Council of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, in which capacity he supervised the release of the second edition of an important historical chronicle. <br />

'''Description:''' <br />
Voren Na'al was an unimposing youth when first volunteering for the Alliance, though his years recording the exploits of the heroes of the galaxy, and his adventures in documenting them, had made him a wiser and more experienced man late in life. Na'al kept a personal journal in which he kept private notes about the subjects whom he interviewed in the course of his research. During both phases of his life, however, he held great enthusiasm for the personalities he reported on; this occasionally led to a nearly unprofessional zeal in his writings, one which he was self-conscious of and for which he sometimes felt the need to apologize. His critics also found his writing to be overly focused on individual personalities. Nonetheless, his work was quoted by author Dr. Milanda Vorgan in her seminal work ''The Written Word: A Brief Introduction to the Writing Systems of Galactic Basic''.
 
Later in life, Na'al settled into his role as a family man, and would turn down offers to explore abroad; it took a personal and persuasive request by [[Mon Mothma]] to convince him to go to the [[Kathol sector]]. His advancing age, and concern for the request of his wife that he not go alone, convinced him to take Pollo Tipn along as help. <br />
