The Jedi Creed


		Jedi Dictionary Ka, Tenel The daughter of Isolder and Teneniel Djo, Tenel Ka was raised on Dathomir in the tradition of the other witches in Teneniel's clan. Tenel showed great aptitude with the Force, and later attended Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, at the same time as Jacen and Jaina Solo. She was a reserved, distant companion to the twins, in keeping with the strength she learned on Dathomir. When Luke discovered the connection between Lando Calrissian's lost corusca gems and the space station Borgo Prime, he took Tenel Ka with him to search out any leads on the Shadow Academy. Later, she posed with him on Dathomir as Force sensitives, and were transported to the Shadow Academy. There, they helped rescue Jaina and Jacen. Her Jedi training nearly came to an end when Luke Skywalker requested that the students at his praxeum built their own lightsabers, in preparation for battling the Shadow Academy. Tenel Ka felt that the weapon was no the important link, but the warrior was. She didn't focus all of her energies in her lightsaber, which she built from an old rancor tooth. In a practice duel with Jacen Solo, Tenel pushed herself and Jacen to their limits. Her lightsaber failed to maintain its energy beam, and Jacen's blade passed through it, severing Tenel Ka's right hand. The wound was instantly cauterized, and replacing the hand was impossible. She travelled back to Hapes to recover from the incident, secretly wondering about her own abilities. She found herselve in the midst of Ambassador Yfra's treacherous plans. The series of ensuing battles forced Tenel Ka to realize that, although the warrior is very important, how the warrior maintains their touch on the Force is most important. Her injury was of minimal importance if she truly mastered the Force. She returned to Yavin 4, and built a new lightsaber. She kept to her original design of using a rancor tooth, but worked with the Force to create a weapon superior to the original. It used a rainbow gem from Gallinore, and produced a turquoise-colored blade. She has been named several times as Kenel Ka or Tenel Ta, too. Kai, Tamith The first of a new group of Nightsisters, Tamith Kai kidnapped Jaina and Jacen Solo, along with Lowbacca, from GemDiver station. Tamith is distinguished by her jet black hair, pale skin, deep violet eyes, and remarkable beauty. She wore jet-black armor which was adorned with functional spikes. She employed Qorl as her personal pilot after joining Brakiss on the Shadow Academy. She struggled against Brakiss’ leadership, and was bitter that Zekk defeated her own champion, Vilas. When the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4, Tamith Kai led the initial ground assault with Zekk. They split up the Jedi students and tried to kill them separately, but were unable to do so. When Tenel Ka clipped a TIE Fighter with her lightsaber, the craft spun out of control and struck the landing platform on which Tamith Kai stood. She was instantly killed in the resulting explosion. Kaiburr Crystal A red gemstone capable of enhancing the user's Force strength. It increases the holder's perception of the Force, and this effect is magnified with larger portions of the crystal. Luke feels the gem's power with just a shard that is held by Halla. When he gains control of the entire gem, its power is revealed as a healing power. It heals the various mortal injuries Luke sustained in his battle with Darth Vader inside the Temple of Pomojema. Luke later uses the power to help heal Leia's wounds. Halla makes the connection between the crystal's power and the rumors of Pomojema's priests performing healing miracles. Luke gives control of the crystal to Halla, who holds onto it. Luke's studies into Jedi lore also revealed that kaiburr crystals were the most powerful stones that could be used in the creation of lightsabers. Kalok This planet, the fourth in the Jiroch System, was colonized by the Tunroth. Together with Jiroch-Reslia and Saloch, they are known as the Triumvirate. A Jedi shrine is rumored to exist in the system. Kamparas This planet was the site of a Jedi training center. It later served as a storehouse of Imperial data during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Kaoln This Jedi remained hidden during Palpatine’s purge, and then later helped smuggle arms and other valuable goods for the Alliance. Kaoln once employed Nuendo Rash to transport goods from Tatooine, using a cargo of grain to hide the real cargo. Karena A Jedi scholar from the Old Republic, who first used the term praxeum to describe the distillation of learning combined with action. Katarn, Kyle Kyle Katarn was born to a farming family on Sulon, and was raised with the ideals of hard work and perseverence. When he was old enough, he enrolled in the Academy for two reasons. First, it would allow him to pursue his own military interests. Second, he felt that it would help his father gain prosperity and recognition. While he was at the Academy, Kyle's family - and all of Sulon - were destroyed in an Imperial invasion. The Empire's agents at the Academy blamed the attack on the Alliance, spreading the seeds of hatred for the Alliance. They failed to cultivate them, though, when they denied Kyle funeral leave. Thus, he grew to hate the Empire equally. As the Empire became more crystallized, Kyle became more and more frustrated with his service to it. When he encountered the captive Jan Ors, she persuaded him to help her escape. The persuasion came at a time when Kyle was most disheartened, and so he freed her and took up the life of a mercenary. He worked for anyone who would pay him, since he had no love for the Empire or the Alliance. However, Jan Ors petitioned Mon Mothma to seek out and hire Kyle Katarn, for she recognized in him the potential ally he could be. Mon Mothma agreed. His first mission was part of Operation Skyhook. He was asked to single-handedly infiltrate the secret Imperial base on Danuta and steal the plans to the original Death Star. He succeeded, escaping the base and turning the plans over to the Alliance. He stayed with the Alliance, and was the agent responsible for obtaining early clues to the Empire's Darktrooper development program. Katarn, again working alone, discovered the location of several manufacturing facilities and the main Darktrooper base - the Arc Hammer - and was able to defeat Rom Mohc in one-on-one combat to halt the Darktrooper development and destroy the Arc Hammer. When Katarn returned from these missions, he was asked to train a group of crack Alliance commandos for undercover missions such as Operation Skyhook. Kyle agreed, and quickly formed a tight-knit group of agents. When Kyle retired from service, one of the commandos - Lieutenant Page - took over as the leader of the commando squad. Sometime afterward, Kyle was visited by the spirit of Rahn, and told of the Jedi heritage of his father. Many years before, Kyle’s father had helped a Jedi Master close of the Valley of the Souls. When the Dark Jedi Jerec tried to enter the Valley, Rahn managed to penetrate the physical world and enlist Kyle’s help in defeating Jerec and his minions. Katarn, Morgan This native of Sulon was Kyle Katarn's father. He was also quite sensitive to the Force, but was untrained. Morgan retired at about the time Kyle enrolled in the Academy. Shortly afterward, the Empire subjugated Sulon. Morgan couldn't sit back and watch his world destroyed, so he joined the Alliance. During the evacuation of his friends and his assisting the Alliance, Morgan learned of the location of the Valley of the Jedi. He used many tricks to hide the location of the Valley from evil eyes, including creating a map to its planet in the ceiling tiles of his house. He told his good friend Qu Rahn about his discovery, for Rahn was also searching for its location. Rahn recognized the strength of the Force in Morgan, and realized that Kyle would eventually become a Jedi. Rahn entrusted his lightsaber to Morgan to give to Kyle, so that he could locate the Valley and protect it from Dark Jedi. After Rahn's death at Jerec's hands, Jerec who travelled to Sulon and killed Morgan and stole the tiles. Ken A small child discovered by an unknown Jedi Knight, Ken was raised by the DJ-88 caretaker droid in the Lost Coty of the Jedi. His origins have been kept a secret, but he has fairly good control of the Force. As long as he can remember, he has worn a birthstone on a silver chain, although its origins are unknown to him as well. The stone is a hemispherical piece of silver crystal. He is restricted to living within the limits of the Lost City until he is old enough and experienced enough to survive by himself. Kadann foresaw that Ken would be able to bring Trioculus down, which was a prophecy fulfilled when Ken learned about Trioculus by secretly reading DJ-88's files on the Slavelord. He was 12 years old when Luke Skywalker took him out of the Lost City and trained him. His name, Ken, is taken from his mother's name, for Ken is the child of the Jedi woman Kendalina. He is sought later by Kadann, who believes he can obtain the location of the Lost City of the Jedi from Ken. Kadann, in an effort to make Ken give him the location of the green marble entrance, reveals a stone which fits perfectly with Ken's birthsone. Once inside the City, Kadann and DJ-88 reveal that Ken is the child of Kendalina and Triclops. Kendalina wanted Ken hidden from Palpatine, who was in fact Ken's grandfather, so she had someone hide him in the Lost City City of the Jedi. Kendalina A human female, she was also a Jedi Knight known by Triclops before his imprisonment on Duro. Kendalina was captured in Palpatine's Jedi purge, and sentenced to the Imperial asylum on Kessel. There, she met Triclops, also a prisoner in the asylum. Together, they gave birth to Ken, the Jedi Prince. She had bright, gray eyes. Kenobi, Obi-Wan (Ben) Obi-Wan was taken from his family at a ery early age, once his affinity with the Force was evident. There are claims that Obi-Wan was the first son of a moderately wealthy family, and he was a fast learner. He sailed through his education at the Academy, and was praised by his family as well as his acquaintances in the Old Republic. His ability to control the Force was also evident, and he was recruited into the ranks of the Jedi Knights. As a young Jedi, Obi-Wan was trained by Yoda, and quickly learned the value of patience and hard work in understanding the Force. Once Yoda was elected the Jedi Council of twelve Masters, Obi-Wan’s training was continued by Qui-Gon Jinn. They were at odds with each other quite often, as Qui-Gon was headstrong while Obi-Wan was more practical. However, their opposing personalities blended them into an effective duo. The pair were dispatched to Naboo during the Trade Federation’s blockade of the planet, and the situation brought their differences to a head. When Qui-Gon discovered the young Anakin Skywalker, he told the Jedi Council that he no longer needed to train Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan took it as a personal affront, and despite the thrill of actually becoming a Jedi Knight and progressing to Master, he resented Qui-Gon’s impertinence. Their differences were quickly resolved as the Battle of Naboo came to a head, and they battled the Sith Lord Darth Maul in the depths of the palace in Theed. When Qui-Gon was killed, Obi-Wan was forced to watch from behind a laser barrier. As soon as the barrier dropped, Obi-Wan attacked, pressing the battle until he was caught off-guard. Darth Maul forced him into a power shaft and nearly killed Obi-Wan, but the Jedi managed to recover Qui-Gon’s lightsaber and eliminated Maul. Shortly thereafter, Obi-Wan was given the title of Jedi Knight. At the same time, against Yoda’s judgement, Obi-Wan was also named Anakin’s Master. As a Jedi and as a Soldier, Obi-Wan was promoted to General in the Old Republic, and gained acclaim during the Clone Wars, fighting along side Anakin Skywalker and Bail Organa. Following the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan tried to train his friend Anakin in the ways of the Force, but could not control his young student's need for more and more instruction. Anakin was brash and headstrong, and the discipline needed to master the Light Side were too much for him. Anakin became a pupil of Senator Palpatine, and Obi-Wan was powerless to stop his descent to the Dark Side. Obi-Wan tried everything he could to reason with Anakin and return him to the Light Side, but to no avail. Following a particularly heated argument, Anakin and Obi-Wan found themselves drawing their lightsabers and dueling ferociously. As luck would have it, Anakin faltered, and fell into a pit of molten lava. Obi-Wan, already distraught for his failing to keep Anakin in the Light Side, tried to rescue his friend by pulling him from the searing lava and returning him to the Old Republic's cybernetic surgeons. However, Obi-Wan was suspicious of the new Emperor Palpatine's sway over Anakin, and quickly surmised that the Emperor would stop at nothing to avenge his pupil's injuries. Obi-Wan quickly discussed a plan with Bail Organa and other Republic members before whisking Anakin's wife and unborn twins away from the Emperor. He persuaded Bail Organa to take in the young mother and her daughter. He then fled to Tatooine, where he convinced his brother, Owen Lars, and his wife, Beru, to take in the infant son of Anakin. Obi-Wan then hid himself in the Jundland Wastes of Tatooine, assuming the name Ben and promoting the image of a crazy old hermit. When Artoo-Detoo delivered a message from the daughter of Anakin Skywalker almost 20 years later, Obi-Wan was forced out of hiding. He enlisted the aid of Luke Skywalker - Anakin's son - in seeing the plans to the first Death Star safely to Alderaan. When this plan was foiled, Obi-Wan saw that he must sacrifice himself for the greater good of the Alliance. In a great lightsaber duel with his former friend Anakin Skywalker - who was now the infamous Darth Vader - Obi-Wan martyred himself, thus allowing his spirit-self to become one with the Force. This allowed him to continue to assist Luke's development as a Jedi while remaining hidden from the eyes of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. Obi-Wan's spirit visited Luke on Hoth, after Luke's escape from the Wampa Ice Creature. He told Luke to go to Dagobah and seek out Yoda, for Obi-Wan sensed that his old master yet lived, and could help Luke ascend to the ranks of the Jedi Knights. His spirit reappeared twice more to Luke on Dagobah, urging the young man to continue his training. Keto, Satal A member of the Tetan Elite, Satal Keto and his cousin, Aleema, were drawn to the Dark Side energies that were present in the galaxy some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. They formed the Dark Side worshippers known as the Krath. They were drawn to the Dark Side so fully that they crossed the galaxy to Coruscant, where they entered the Galactic Museum and stole a number of Sith manuscripts and artifacts. They then traveled to Onderon, in an effort to learn more about the artifacts from the Naddists there. Satal was shown how to use the Sith artifacts by King Ommin, who was later killed by the spirit of Freedon Nadd. Nadd's spirit then chose Satal and Aleema to be his new living emissaries, providing them with Sith swords. The two returned to the Tetan star system, where they overthrew the Carbonite Mining Guild with help from the Dark Jedi and the military just before the Great Sith War. He and Aleema froze their parents in carbonite after they overtook the guild. When Ulic Qel-Droma infiltrated the Krath in an effort to eradicate the Sith warriors, Satal poisoned him with Sith drugs in order to keep the Jedi from turning on the Krath. However, the poison only focused Ulic's powers, and in a pitched lightsaber duel, Aleema tells Ulic that it was Satal who ordered the attack on Deneba which killed Master Arca. Ulic's fury rose even higher, and he killed Satal before turning on the Jedi. Ki-Adi-Mundi This Jedi Knight was a member of the Cerean race. Trained by Yoda since the age of four when he was discovered by the Dark Woman, he spent twenty-one years learning the way of the Jedi. After being given the title of Jedi Knight, Ki had considerable power in manipulating the Force by the time he returned home on his first mission, to free his people from the grip of Bin-Garda-Zon and his rogues. This task he managed to accomplish without bloodshed as the old and weak Bin-Garda was unable to maintain his control of the rogues in the face of Ki’s ability to best their leader. Several more years of working as a Jedi Knight brough Ki a good deal of influence within the ranks of the Jedi. However, he found he had little influence on his homeworld. Like most of the older generation, Ki-Adi-Mundi wanted to do away with unnecessary technology, while the younger generation wanted speeder bikes and starships. As a generation war erupted on Cerea, Ki-Adi-Mundi was caught in the middle when his daughter, Sylvn, was found to be a friend of Maj. He pursued the techrats at the behest of the Cerean council of elders, and eventually traced the imports of technology to Ephant Mon, Jabba the Hutt, and the Trade Federation. He was forced to abandon his search on Tatooine, after rescuing Sylvn and Twin from an ion storm which masked the escape of Mon and Jabba. Upon returning to Cerea, he was met with two welcome revelations: first, that his bond-wife Shea was pregnant; and second, that he had been nominated for a seat on the Jedi Council. His inclusion in the Jedi Council was unique in that, at the time, he was the only Jedi Knight on the council, while all other members were Jedi Masters. Nevertheless, his wisdom and calm demeanor were welcomed on the Council, and he was influential in the decisions made regarding the testing and training of Anakin Skywalker. He used a purple-bladed lightsaber. Kinnison, Jimbo A failed Jedi Knight. Kirana Ti A Singing Mountain clan witch from Dathomir, she eventually joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. She quickly grew into one the most experienced Jedi, and was part of the team dispatched to Corbos. There, with the help of Streen, Kyp Durron, and Dorsk 82, she defeated the Leviathan of Corbos. Kith Kark A Gotal Jedi Knight trained by Master Vodo Siosk-Baas just prior to the Great Sith War. He is killed on Onderon, as part of the joint Jedi Knight-Old Republic force trying to eliminate the Naddists, when the Dark Side energies of their opponents drain the Light Side energy from their attack. Koros Major A planet in the Empress Teta system. It was the last planet in the system to hold out against the Krath oppression. It was the sight of a major battle between the combined forces of the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic and the Krath (c.4000 PE). Korriban This remote planet was the seat of the ancient Sith race. Located across the galaxy from Cinnagar and Koros Minor, it was unknown to the Old Republic before the rise of Naga Sadow. It was to Korriban that the ancient Dark Jedi fled, after they were exiled by the Jedi Knights. Korriban was a desolate world which, under the pall of Sith magic, became more hellish and dangerous. The native life there was twisted by the Dark Side, and the ghosts of Sith Dark Lords roamed everywhere. The Sith Lords erected huge palaces and burial complexes, which honored not only the dead Lords but the current magicians as well. Exar Kun was led here by Freedon Nadd's spirit, in an effort to recover certain Sith manuscripts. The Emperor Palpatine often visited Korriban, to help him center himself in the Dark Side of the Force. Kuellar The pseudonym adopted by the failed Jedi student Dolph, during his attempt to wrest power from Leia Organa-Solo and take control of the New Republic. Dolph assumed the name Kuellar after defeating the Je’Har, and he began using a Hendanyn death mask to cover his face. The mask hung on a silver chain when he wasn’t wearing it. ...Jedi Mitth'raw'nurida [Home] \| [Chat Conferences] \| [Discussion Forum] \| [Hyperspace Links] [The Belief] \| [The Force] \| [The Journey] \| [The Lesson] \| [The Challenge] \| [The Philosophy] \| [The Tales] [The Encyclopedia] [Contributions] \| [The Gallery] \| [Our Contacts]
