The Balance represented an honor code that Alema Rar adopted following her close brush with death on Tenupe. She employed this warped moral compass as a means of rationalizing the deeds she committed in service of the dark side. The core principle revolved around a self-serving interpretation of karma. Rar believed that those who had inflicted pain upon her should experience equivalent suffering; consequently, she considered any action that brought harm to the Solos, whom she held accountable for her disfigurement, to be morally justifiable.
