The Jedi Creed


		Jedi Dictionary Saesee Tiin This Iktotchi Jedi Master was born on the moon of Iktotch, where he learned to fly a variety of starships. Over time, after discovering his ability with the Force and being trained as a Jedi, Tiin could instinctively fly virtually any craft. He was known in the Old Republic military as an excellent dogfighter. Saesee Tiin served on the jedi Council at the time when Qui-Gon Jinn petitioned to have Anakin Skywalker trained as a Jedi, and was known on the Coucil for his foresight and his ability to foresee the future. Sannah A Melodie child trained as a Jedi on Yavin 4. She was discovered by Anakin Solo and Tahiri when they accompanied Lyric to Yavin 8. They brought her back to the Junior Jedi Academy with them, and persuaded Luke Skywalker to let her stay. Luke recognized the need to train the Melodies to fight back against the hostile predators of Yavin 8, and let Sannah stay. Unlike Lyric, who was nearly twenty and near her changing when she attended the Academy, Sannah was about eleven when she first attended. Sariss One of the Dark Jedi working with Jerec, Sariss was physically and mentally stronger than her companions. She was of near-human stock, and was known to be quiet and reserved. She was also, however, a perfectionist, and was a master swordsman with the lightsaber. She was defeated by Kyle Katarn while protecting Jerec at the Valley of the Jedi. Sarkin, Tyria This blonde-haired woman, a native of the planet Toprawa, was member of the Antarian Rangers and was one of the first pilots to serve in Wraith Squadron. All members of her family were killed when the Empire subjugated Toprawa, after it was discovered that the plans for the first Death Star were transmitted from there, and she survived using her ranger skills until the New Republic rescued here. She had a small sensitivity to the Force, although a short series of training sessions with Luke Skywalker led him to believe she didn't have the depth of ability to become a Jedi Knight. This shattered one of her dreams, because she longed to gain more strength with the Force. However, the New Republic wanted her to train as a pilot, hoping that her sensitivity to the Force would make her a better pilot. By her initial scores, she wasn’t cut out to be a pilot. She was approached by her commanding officer, Colonel Repness, who had altered her failing grades to make them passable, then threatened to blackmail her if she didn't assist him in stealing an X-Wing. She refused, and Repness had her thrown out of the training program, citing "gross insubordination." However, her scores were good enough to attract the attention of Wedge Antilles, and she became part of the Wraiths. Her training with the Antarian Rangers allowed her to become the squadron's scout. It was Tyria who came up with the name "Wraith Squadron." She soon fell in love with Kell Tainer, and their relationship continued to grow with Wedge's quiet assent. Her tiny sensitivity to the Force helped the Wraiths during their attempt to infiltrate the Binring Biomedical facility on Saffalore, as she could feel the residual pain and anguish of the creatures that were tested there. Sedriss An enhanced human who studied the Dark Side of the Force under Emperor Palpatine, and was later appointed one of the reborn Emperor's Executors. He is a massive human with spiked hair, and he became the first Executor to learn of Palpatine's death on Byss. He then became the primary force behind restoring the Empire via Operation Shadow Hand. He gave the orders that launched the operation following the reborn Emperor's death. When Palpatine ordered him to detain Luke Skywalker on Ossus, Sedriss and Vill Goir both flew there in the Imperial Hunter Scourge One. Unfortunately for Sedriss, the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar captured him and reduced Sedriss to microscopic bits in an explosion of colliding Force energies. Sense A Jedi Force skills. The ability to Sense is how a Jedi recognizes the Force in the universe around him. This flow of the Force tells the Jedi information about their surroundings. Shar Dakhan This ancient Sith magician was one of Naga Sadow’s supporters. He was one of the primary planners and organizers of Sadow’s naval fleet, which was created to attack the Old Republic and expand the Sith Empire. Shatoyo An old Jedi Master who, at the Assembly on Deneba, spoke out on the way the Dark Side and the Sith teachings behave. Shelvay, Corwin This young human was full of good intentions, but he was quick to anger. He was taken as an apprentice to the Jedi Knight Darrin Arkanian, who tried to teach Corwin of the Force. Corwin was a quick student, but felt that his powers should be used directly against the Empire. Arkanian tried to get Corwin to control his emotions at every turn. Together, they traversed the galaxy, staying one step ahead of the authorities while searching for surviving Jedi Knights. During one mission, Corwin was captured and brought to Coruscant. There, High Inquisitor Tremayne tortured him in an attempt to reveal Arkanian's whereabouts. Corwin resisted until Arkanian attempted to rescue him. In a battle with Tremayne, Arkanian was cut down, and Corwin became enraged. He leapt after Tremayne and lashed out, severing Tremayne's arm and damaging his face with a lightsaber. Corwin and Arkanian fled, but Arkanian died a few days later. Corwin realized that, in the battle with Tremayne, he had touched the Dark Side of the Force. In a vision some time later, Corwin saw himself as Tremayne's twin, and this shocked him back to the Light Side. Corwin then tried to return to his home, only to find that the Empire had killed his family ten years earlier. What he didn't know is that they had spared the life of his sister, Elena. Corwin, cut loose from all the ties that mattered to him, roamed the Outer Rim until he met Devon Fuller. Fuller's hatred for the Empire touched Corwin's anti-Imperial feelings, and drove Corwin to join the Alliance. Thus, he became an invaluable operative and recruiter in the Outer Rim. Shoaneb Culu A blind, humanoid Jedi who is well-versed in the Jedi Prophecies, she attended the Jedi Assembly on Deneba to discuss the Krath. She is a Miraluka native of the planet Alpheridies. She is killed in the Cron System, when Aleema tried to defeat the Jedi Knights by ripping the core from a Cron star. Short-term Memory Enhancement A technique used by the Jedi Knights to capture and replay recent events at a later time. Sibwarra, Dev A human working for the Ssi-ruuvi at Bakura. He was a small boy born to Force-sensitive parents. His mother had just begun Jedi training on Chandrila when the Emperor ordered the Jedi purged from existence. The fled to the planet G'rho, but they arrived just before the Ssi-ruuk overtook the planet. They captured the curious lad, and brought him to their own homeworld for five years of conditioning. After that, Dev became a spokeman for the Ssi-ruuvi race in their quest to entech human minds. The Ssi-ruuk brought Dev with them to Bakura, and hoped he would ease the struggle to entech its human inhabitants. However, Dev's Force-sensitive mind was discovered by Luke Skywalker, who helped Dev overcome the Ssi-ruuvi conditioning and shrug off their renewals. Dev came back to the world of humans following the defeat of the Ssi-ruuk, but he sustained mortal injuries and died at Bakura. Sidrona Diath An ancient Jedi Master and leader of the Republic Senate, he was born in a failed mining colony on the planet Tatooine. He rose to power during the Sith War. Sith Refer to the Sith Encyclopedia here. Skywalker, Anakin Anakin grew up as a slave in the markets of Mos Espa, on Tatooine. Eventually, he grew into a brash young pilot who joined the Old Republic as a fighter pilot, gaining recognition during his education at the Academy and then during the Clone Wars. His uncanny skill as a pilot did not escape notice, and he was approached by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was a Jedi Knight who fought with Anakin during the Clone Wars. Kenobi thought that he could teach Anakin how to become a Jedi just as well as Yoda had taught him, but he was unable to keep up with Anakin's desire to learn more. For Anakin was still a brash young man, and the barriers of patience and hard work seemed to stifle his growing proficiency in the Force. It was about this time that Senator Palpatine also noticed the young Anakin. Sensing the Force within him, Palpatine also sensed Anakin's desire to learn quickly. He introduced Anakin to the wonders of the Dark Side of The Force, and Anakin was hooked. He realized that, with the power of the Force behind him, he would be able to provide for himself and his pregnant wife. There would be nothing to hinder him, and his security seemed assured. He became Palpatine's student, and the fall from the Light Side to the Dark Side happened so quickly that Kenobi was powerless to stop it. Kenobi pleaded with Anakin to return to the Light Side, but Anakin would have no part of it. After a heated argument, Anakin and Kenobi confronted each other in a vicious lightsaber duel. They were evenly matched physically, but Obi-Wan's knowledge of the Force was much greater than Anakin's, and Kenobi was able to maintain his strength. A coincidence led to their battle nearing a pit of molten lava, and Anakin misplaced his footing. He fell into the pit, and was seared alive. Obi-Wan, seeing that he had a single chance to save his friend and return him to the Light Side, pulled the burning Anakin from the pit. He returned to the Old Republic, where a tram of cybernetic surgeons worked furiously to save him. The newly-promoted Emperor Palpatine spared no expense in trying to save Anakin. This was noted by Kenobi, who realized that Anakin would see Palpatine as a savior. Kenobi then fled with Anakin's wife, hiding her and her unborn twins on remote worlds, out of the Emperor's watchful sight. Palpatine, upon Anakin's recovery, re-introduced Anakin to the Dark Side of the Force. This eventually led to Anakin's acceptance of the Sith training and lore, and sometime during this training Anakin Skywalker ceased to exist. He became Darth Vader, and rose to become a Dark Lord of the Sith. As such, he also became Palpatine's minion, and became the Emperor's tool. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Palpatine was able to discover that Anakin had had a son. He used this knowledge to help secure his hold on the former Anakin Skywalker, as well as a way to help turn Luke to the Dark Side. The Light Side of Anakin Skywalker seemed to try and return to the surface, and Vader was faced with a crisis. During the Battle of Endor, Luke managed to get the Light Side of Anakin to re-assert itself, and as the Emperor was trying to kill Luke, Anakin rose up and threw the Emperor down the Death Star's power shaft. The life-support systems that kept Darth Vader alive, however, were seriously damaged by the Emperor's Force lightning, and failed. Anakin died soon after Luke removed the facemask to allow Anakin to see his son with his own eyes. Skywalker, Luke Luke is the son of Anakin Skywalker, and the twin brother to Princess Leia Organa. He was separated from his sister just after their birth, in order to conceal his potential Force-sensitivity from the Emperor and Darth Vader. He was hidden on the planet Tatooine by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and lived his early years under the watchful eyes of Owen and Beru Lars. Luke was an eager boy, and was always flying his T-16 skyhopper in the canyons near his home while dreaming of being a starpilot at the Academy. Known as Wormie by his friends, he was a reckless youth whose best friend was Biggs Darklighter. When Biggs went off to the Academy, and later the Alliance, Luke felt that he was being mistreated by his Uncle, who annually refused to allow Luke to enroll. Fate and fortune intervened, however, when Owen purchased two well-worn droids named Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio. With their purchase, Luke was catapulted into the midst of the Alliance. Obi-Wan Kenobi began to instruct Luke in the use of The Force. Luke then rescued Princess Leia from the first Death Star with the help of Han Solo. Following Kenobi's death, Luke destroyed the Death Star by calling on The Force. Later, Luke was visited by Kenobi's spirit, and directed to the planet Dagobah, where Luke trained under the Jedi Master Yoda. Following Yoda's death, Luke became the last of the Jedi Knights. He used his new-found strength to defeat Emperor Palpatine and turn Darth Vader from the Dark Side of the Force, returning Anakin Skywalker to the Light Side. In the years following the formation of the New Republic, Luke was instrumental in the New Republic's defeat of the Ssi-ruuk, the reborn Palpatine, as well as Imperial Admirals Thrawn and Daala. Luke continued his training on his own, and eventually became a Jedi Master. He set up a new Jedi Academy on Yavin's fourth moon, and began teaching the ways of The Force to a new set of Jedi Knights. During the period following the revelations of the partial Caamas Document found on Wayland, Luke travelled to Nirauan to search for Mara Jade. Mara was reported missing and out of touch, after tracing the paths of several unusual starships. They discovered the Hand of Thrawn complex, and managed to eliminate any potential threat it held to the New Republic. During their escape, Luke and Mara worked together with the Force, and both were opened up to the other's inner thoughts and feelings. This deepened and strengthened their relationship to a point that neither could ignore. Just before leaving Nirauan, Luke proposed to Mara. She agreed, and they were married when the returned to Coruscant. Luke and Mara then left the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 in the hands of the new Jedi Knights and travelled the galaxy teaching potential Jedi about the ways of the Force. Skywalker, Luuke A clone created by Joruus C'baoth from the hand Luke lost during his duel with Darth Vader on Cloud City. The clone, as were all of the clones that were grown too quickly in their Force-resistant vats, was mentally unstable. Luuke was defeated by Mara Jade, who fulfilled the prophecy laid on her by Emperor Palpatine, although not in the way he believed it would be. Skywalker, Shmi This woman’s family was captured by pirates when she was very young, and sold into slavery. She was passed form owner to owner over nearly three decades before being sold to Gardulla the Hutt. Shmi is best-known as the mother of Anakin Skywalker, although she remembers no man participating in Anakin’s conception. Instead, she simply discovered she was pregnant and gave birth to the boy. Being a slave, there was no uproar over the fact that she was unmarried and did not know the father. After Gardulla lost a bet to Watto, Shmi and Anakin became the property of the ornery Toydarian. As Anakin grew, shmi knew that there was something special about her son. She hid as much of it as she could from Watto, hoping that the beast wouldn’t use Anakin to his advantage. When Qui-Gon Jinn travelled to Tatooine, Shmi understood that Anakin was to leave with him. She could no longer hold the boy back from his destiny. When Anakin won the Boonta Eve podrace, Qui-Gon managed to win the boy in a bet with Watto, but was unable to gain Shmi’s freedom. She remained behind on Tatooine, hoping to see her young son again someday. Solo, Anakin Han and Leia's second son, he is incredibly strong in the Force, especially for a child so young. By the time he is three, Anakin's gifts have become obvious to his uncle, Luke Skywalker. By the time he is seven, he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to make anything mechanical work, regardless of whether he understands the device's purpose or its components. His siblings, Jacen and Jaina, have discovered his abilities, and use them to bypass locks and security cameras. They even tried once to have Anakin create a working droid from various scrap components. Unfortunately, the primary motivator Jacen found was faulty, and the droid blew up. Anakin figured prominently in the discovery and activation of some of the Corellian planetary repulsors during the reign of Thrackan Sal-Solo on Corellia. He continued to show great aptitude with the Force, and when his siblings returned from their initial studies on Yavin 4, Anakin was allowed to go as well. He was eleven at the time, and was immediately befriended by Tahiri. Together, they discovered the Golden Globe beneath the Palace of the Woolamander and the existence of the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit. He returned to Yavin 4 following the attack by the Shadow Academy, and helped rebuild the Great Temple by veiwing its rubble as a huge puzzle to be solved. Solo, Jacen Han and Leia's first son, born on Coruscant in 28 NE. He is very strong with the Force, as is his twin sister, Jaina. Jacen has the special ability to communicate with animals. When he and his sister turn 14, they attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. While there, Jacen develops an extensive collection of the jungle moon's exotic fauna, many of which escape the cages built for them by Jacen's sister, Jaina. When he finally constructed his own lightsaber, Jacen chose focusing stones which produced a glowing, emerald green blade. Solo, Jaina Han and Leia's first daughter, born on Coruscant in 28 NE. She is five minutes older than her twin brother, Jacen, and is equally strong with the Force. She has certain mechanical abilities, much like her father, but not as strong as her brother, Anakin. When she and Jacen attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, at the age of 14, she collects all sorts of old technology from the original Alliance base, using some of it to create cages for Jacen's exotic collection of creatures. Others she keeps to see if she can repair them. Jaina created a lightsaber of violet light while studying at Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. Solusar, Kam A Jedi Knight, son of a Jedi slain by Darth Vader. He spent years hiding from the Empire in the most remote parts of the galaxy. When his whereabouts were discovered by a group of Dark Jedi, he was tortured and forced to embrace the Dark Side of the Force. The reborn Emperor used him as one of his personal Dark Jedi on Byss. When Luke first met him on Nespis VIII, Luke sensed his strength in the Force behind the Dark Side facade, and challenged Kam to a game of Lightsider. Luke won, and convinced Kam to return to the Light Side. Kam eventually returned to Luke, joining the Jedi candidates on Yavin 4. (DE1, DA) Solusar, Ranik A Jedi Knight killed by Darth Vader during Palpatine's Jedi Purge. Ranik had a son, Kam, whom he taught in the ways of the Force. Soonis This Jedi Knight was responsible for apprehending the looters of the Vaults of Narner on Salliche. Soonis also stopped a band of armored raiders from rampaging Wroona. Star Map Room This vast chamber was located in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It contained a huge holographic map of the known galaxy. Star Saber An experimental attack ship developed just before the Great Sith War for use by the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights. It was a long, needle-shaped ship with wide wings and twin tailfins. SunGem Jedi Master Arca Jeth's Delaya-class courier. He converted most of the cargo space into Jedi training facilities, and adorned the ship with Jedi sigils and a few personal artifacts. Sunrider, Andur A Jedi Knight who had almost completed his training. Master Chamma had sent him to take some Adegan crystals to Master Thon, so Andur packed up his wife, Nomi, and their infant daughter, Vima, and headed for the Stenness System. However, upon reaching the main spaceport terminal, Andur tried to avoid a confrontation with some thugs and was killed by the bite of a gorm worm when his attention was elsewhere. Sunrider, Nomi The wife of Andur Sunrider, Nomi accompanied her husband on a mission to deliver Adegan crystals from Master Chamma to Master Thon. When they were waylayed in the Stenness System and Andur was killed, Nomi suddenly realized that she was as strong with the Force as her husband was, if not stronger. She quickly dispatched the thugs that killed Andur, using his lightsaber to cut them down. She feared the use of the weapon, and later continued her dead husband's trek through the Stenness System to deliver the Adegan crystals to Ambria. There, she herself picked up the Jedi training that was meant for her husband. She trained under Master Thon, who discovered that Nomi was proficient in the use of Jedi battle meditation. Thon also started training Nomi's daughter, Vima. When Bogga the Hutt pursued Nomi and her Adegan crystals to Ambria, Nomi again resisted the use of the lightsaber, but took it up to defend her Jedi Master. She dispatched Bogga's minions, and strode further down the path to becoming a Jedi. It is later revealed by Thon that Nomi's coming is foretold in at least one of the Jedi Prophecies. She was later assigned to assist Ulic Qel-Droma in quelling the civil war in Onderon system, and eventually fell in love with Ulic. That love was short-lived, though, for Ulic fell down the path to the Dark Side of the Force in his attempt to penetrate the Krath. They tried to defeat the Krath in the Empress Teta System, but were repelled. She was part of the Great Council on Deneba, and later returned to the Tetan System to try and persuade Ulic from his dark quest. Her love for him proved to be lesser than his desire to avenge Arca's death, and he left to become Exar Kun's apprentice. She returned to Master Thon, and was caught by Crado and Oss Willum, who had come to kill Thon as part of Exar Kun's pogrom. She and Sylvar were able to stave off the attack, but Nomi was draw deeper into the Great Sith War. When Ulic Qel-Droma wsa captured and brought to trial on Coruscant, Nomi went with Cay Qel-Droma and Tott Doneeta to try and appeal to Ulic. His Sith possession was too deep for Nommi's love, and the appearance of Exar Kun only strengthened Ulic's powers. Nomi and the other Jedi were powerless as Kun executed Vodo-Siosk Baas, and struggled to follow Ulic and Kun to the Auril Systems. Nomi went to Ossus to assist with the evacuation of the Jedi libraries after Aleema destroyed the Cron System, and was again caught up in Ulic's demise. After Ulic murdered his brother, Cay, Nomi was so enraged that she used the Force in an attempt to cut Ulic off from the Force. Her anger made the attempt extremely effective, and Ulic was completely cut off from the energy of the Force. She resolved herself that Ulic would never love her again. Although the Jedi histories don't provide any further information on Nomi Sunrider, it is known that her daughter Vima continued the line of Sunrider Jedi Knights, and her line was thought to be ended with the death of Vima-da-Boda. Sunrider, Vima The daughter of Andur and Nomi Sunrider, Vima was born with a rich family heritage in the use of the Force. Little in known about her early training following the death of her father, but she showed an innate ability to talk with animals. Sylvar A Cathar Jedi, apprenticed to Vodo Siosk-Baas, she was in love with Crado. She was despised by Exar Kun, one of her fellow students. In a training exercise with their lightsabers, Kun tried to goad her into making mistakes. He eventually pushed Sylvar over the edge, and she clawed him across the right cheek. He nearly killed her, especially when she accused him of not being a true Jedi. Sylvar later pursued her lover to the Stenness System, where Crado and Oss Willum were trying to kill Master Thon. She chose to fight Crado, and considered him lost to her forever. ...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]
