Original Content Jedi Knight of The New Jedi Order by eds345567
Born in a Ithorian herdship orbiting Ithor, this Jedi began his life as a peaceful herbalist. His latent Force sensitivity went undiscovered until 17 ABY, leading to his eventual induction into the New Jedi Order. In 19 ABY, he was taken as an apprentice by the renowned Corellian Jedi Knight Corran Horn. Under Horn’s tutelage, he refined his lightsaber combat, starfighter piloting, and specialized in the subtle art of Force illusions. Together, master and Padawan embarked on high-stakes reconnaissance, locating the missing Intimidator—a long-lost Executor-class Super Star Destroyer in the Unknown Regions—while bolstering the planetary air defense grids of New Republic worlds.
He ascended to full Jedi Knighthood in 24 ABY, on the eve of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Initially a staunch supporter of Master Luke Skywalker’s conservative philosophy, his faith was shattered by the apocalyptic devastation and biological scouring of Ithor. Overwhelmed by grief, he fell into a spiral of rage directed at Skywalker, the Yuuzhan Vong, and his former master, whom he held personally responsible for failing to save his homeworld. Seeking violent retribution, he joined Kyp Durron’s aggressive starfighter unit, Kyp’s Dozen, but was ultimately expelled from the squadron due to his dangerous volatility and proximity to the dark side.
Rejecting the Jedi Order, he embarked on a solitary path, embedding himself with a convoy of displaced Ithorian refugees. Though he attempted to radicalize them into a vengeful militia, the refugees steadfastly rejected his calls for retribution, choosing instead to embody the traditional Ithorian tenets of pacifism and forgiveness. Through weeks of profound spiritual reflection alongside his people, his heart was transformed, turning him back from the precipice of the dark side. Deeply humbled, he rejoined the Jedi Order to oversee refugee evacuation corridors and protect displaced civilians from the predatory Peace Brigade. He met a heroic end in 27 ABY at the pivotal Battle of Ebaq 9, making the ultimate sacrifice for the galaxy.
