Veraslayn Kast, an artist of human descent, hailed from the planet Mandalore. As a supporter of [Pre Vizsla](/article/pre_vizsla] and the Death Watch splinter faction, Kast's artistic creations depicted Mandalorian soldiers engaged in combat. Her death occurred in 19 BBY amid the civil war on her homeworld, a conflict that set Mandalorians devoted to the Shadow Collective criminal alliance (of which Death Watch was a founding member) against those who stood in opposition.
A human artist from Mandalore, planet of her birth, Veraslayn Kast was a sympathizer of the Death Watch, a Mandalorian terrorist group that broke away in opposition to the pacifistic New Mandalorian government ruling Mandalore. One example of her artwork, a [propaganda](/article/propaganda] poster, portrayed Death Watch soldiers in the middle of action within a city consumed by flames. It was one of multiple pieces that displayed Mandalorian warriors participating in battle for the first time in many years.
During the Clone Wars, Kast was a follower of [Pre Vizsla](/article/pre_vizsla], the leader of Death Watch. This period also marked the emergence of the Shadow Collective, a criminal organization initially joined by Death Watch. With the help of the Shadow Collective, Death Watch successfully seized control of Mandalore in 19 BBY. However, Vizsla was slain after he betrayed Maul, a Sith Lord and leader of the Collective, who then declared himself the new head of Death Watch, leading some members to reject his authority.
During the ensuing civil war on her homeworld, Kast met her end. The conflict pitted Mandalorians still loyal to the Shadow Collective against those who opposed Maul's leadership. As the Clone Wars concluded, the Galactic Empire came into being. The Imperial Super Commandos, Mandalorian soldiers serving the Empire, destroyed much of Kast's work after her death. After the Hosnian Cataclysm of 34 ABY, the book A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy, which discussed propaganda, was published and included information about Kast's Death Watch poster.
In 2016, the book Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy, authored by Pablo Hidalgo, mentioned Veraslayn Kast. While her name is shared with House Kast, no association has been verified.
