Ta'ania
One of the original colonists to populate Eol Sha, and an illegitimate descendant of a former Jedi Knight.

Tahiri
A native of the planet Tatooine, Tahiri was suddenly orphaned as a young child when her parents were killed in the desert. They were moisture farmers. She would have died of exposure, but she was taken in by the Sandpeople and raised as one of their own for five years. When she was nine, Luke Skywalker and Tionne found her on Tatooine, and she was allowed to accompany them to Yavin 4 to attend the Junior Jedi Academy. She befriended Anakin Solo, and the two suddenly discovered that they were experiencing the same dream. The dream led them to discover the Golden Globe beneath the Palace of the Woolamander, and introduced them to the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit. She is a very natural child, preferring to walk around the jungle complexes in her bare feet in order to feel the world around her. She has pale yellow hair and green eyes.

Taj Junak
This Jedi Knight surrendered to the Empire on Mrlsst, at the Mrlsst Academy. Palpatine's exterminators captured him in one of the common areas, and they burned him on the spot. Ever since, no grass has grown in the area, which has been walled off as a monument to the ancient Jedi. It is rumored that Junak's ghost roams the academy grounds, and this rumor was used as the basis for the name of the band Ghost Jedi.

Tandre, Michael
This geologist and Jedi Knight was forced to crash-land his ship, the Alpha Kentrum, on the planet Orellon II. There, he made first contact with a race of fur-covered, winged aliens who eventually called themselves the Kentra. Tandre became a sort of spiritual ledaer for the Kentra, and taught them to follow the principles of Sword, Plow, and Spirit. He created a series of computer programs that carried on his teachings long after his death.

Taselda
This ageless woman was among the first Jedi to come to the planet Nam Chorios. She claimed to have been sent to the planet at the behest of her Jedi Master, but it is believed that she and Beldorion went to the planet in hopes of finding some gift that would allow them to more fully use the Force. She was appalled at the living conditions she found, and remained on the planet as something of a leader to the Oldtimers. She kept order in Hweg Shul some 200 years before Callista arrived. When the Hutt Beldorion came to Nam Chorios, Taselda recognized his failures with the Force, and tried to keep him from gaining power. However, the Hutt prevailed, and in the battle her lightsaber was lost. She sustained numerous injuries in the fight, and found herself unable to create another lightsaber. When Callista arrived on the planet, Taselda used her desire to regain the Force as a fulcrum, and manipulated Callista. She hoped to used Callista to recover her lost lightsaber from Beldorion, but the young woman was overcome by the Hutt’s augmented power. Later, Taselda tried to ensnare Luke Skywalker the same way, but he defeated her.

Tedryn Holocron
One of the Jedi Holocrons, the Tedryn Holocron was once held by Vodo Siosk-Baas.

Temple Atun
One of the Massassi temples on Yavin 4, Atun was left untouched by the Alliance and the Jedi Students after them. Luke Skywalker wanted to keep the temple in its deteriorated condition so that the Jedi could have a link to the Massassi on which to meditate. He often went there to be alone and reflect on the galaxy.

Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster
One of the ancient, elaborate structures found in the jungles of Yavin Four. It was nearly destroyed when Vice Admiral Pellaeon and his fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers attacked the temple, thinking it was the primary site of Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. It houses a huge, crystalline object deep inside its main chamber. This crystal glows and throbs with apparent life, filling the chamber with an eerie blue light. The crystal is oily to the touch, and is charged with static electricity. There are reports that the crystal is filled with the spirits of the long-dead Massassi people, and that their faces can be seen inside the crystal. Luke and Brakiss met here during the Shadow Academy’s attack on Yavin 4, but Luke was unable to sway Brakiss from the Dark Side.

Temple of Fire
One of the ancient Massassi temples on Yavin 4.

Temple of the Je'ulajists
Using a corrupted form of the word "geologists," the Kentra created this temple from the wreckage of the Alpha Kentrum. It was erected as a reminder to follow the tenets of Sword, Plow, and Spirit set down by Michael Tandre.

Temple of Pomojema
A shrine to the god Pomojema on Circarpous V, and the resting place of the Kaiburr crystal. It is a large, black pyramid, wider than it is tall. It was built from volcanic rock, and was starting to erode when Luke and Leia found it. A statue of Pomojema is located at its center, and the Kaiburr crystal was imbedded in the statue.

Testing Screen
This device, developed by the Jedi Council, is used to test the telepathic abilities of Jedi trainees. It had no buttons or controls, and was manipulated solely via the Force. This assured that a trainee couldn’t oversee what the Master was doing, and guess at a correct answer. Using the screen, a Master could project into it a succession of images, which the trainee would have to interpret via their connection to the Force.

Thon
A large, four-legged ceratopsian beast with sharp spikes on his shoulders and strange, upturned mouth appendages, Thon is in reality a Jedi master assigned to the Stenness System and living on Ambria just prior to the Great Sith War. When he first came to Ambria, the Dark Side of the Force was prevalent on the planet. Master Thon pushed the Dark Side back, forcing it into Lake Natth. His experiences on Ambria taught him of the virtue of the Light Side, and he tried to convince other Jedi Masters about the dangers of the Krath. He was supposed to have continued the Jedi training of Andur Sunrider, but Andur's death changed those plans. Instead, Thon became the teacher of Andur's wife, Nomi. Her stubbornness was broken when Thon was attacked by Bogga the Hutt. In the battle, Thon gave his lightsaber to Nomi, and she used it with unusual skill for an untrained Jedi candidate. Thon realized that Nomi was the special Jedi he was prophecied to train, and took her under his tutelage. Later, he was part of the assembly of Jedi Masters who met on Deneba to discuss the Krath uprising in the Empress Teta system.

Tigris
A Firrerreo youth, son of Hethrir and Rillao. It was hoped that Tigris would have a great deal of Force sensitivity, given that his parents were both Jedi. Their master, Darth Vader, hoped that their son would grow to become a great Sith warrior. However, Tigris was born without any Force sensitivity whatsoever, and was all but forgotten by his father. Rillao placed him on one of the Firrerreo colony ships, but Hethrir discovered him there and woke him up. Tigris was then relegated to slave status, doing whatever menial tasks Hethrir appointed. When Hethrir's treachery was revealed to Tigris at Crseih Station, he was through into a mass of emotional confusion. His mother took him back, to begin drawing him out of the shell Hethrir had built.

Tionne
One of Luke's first Jedi apprentices on Yavin 4, Tionne was a near-human minstrel and historian. She learned of the Force from her grandmother, who instilled in Tionne the passion for ancient Jedi legends. This was unusual, for all knowledge of the Jedi was thought to have been eradicated from her homeworld. She had very little Force-sensitivity, but Luke Skywalker saw enough promise in her that he invited her to help discover the ancient Jedi teachings. She eventually became a full Jedi Knight, but her powers were somewhat limited.

Tott Doneeta
A Twi'Lek Jedi Knight who was taught by Master Arca on Onderon. He is friends with Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma, and was assigned to watch over the planet Onderon with them. He has the unique ability to be able to communicate with animals.

Tra's M'ins
A Jedi Master.

Tremayne
The High Inquisitor of the Empire during the Galactic Civil War, Tremayne was trained as a Jedi Knight before being seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He was led down the dark path by none other than Emperor Palpatine, and it was rumored that Tremayne was one of the Emperor's Hands. Tremayne was eventually promoted to the position of High Inquisitor, and had an illustrious career serving Palpatine. In this position, Tremayne was answerable only to Darth Vader and the upper eschelons of Palpatine's advisors. Tremayne had been able to break every captive brought to him until he encountered Corwin Shelvay. He was disfigured in Shelvay's escape, and also lost an arm. Since then, Tremayne has scoured the galaxy, looking for Shelvay to exact revenge. Tremayne was given command of the Star Destroyer Interrogator.

Trinja, Cheryl
This young woman was naturally strong and adept with the Force, and used it to communicate with the animals that lived in the forests surrounding her farm home. After her parents were killed during the Imperial subjugation of her homeworld, Cheryl hid in the forests and grew up there, separated from the rest of humanity. She was coaxed out of hiding shortly after the Battle of Endor by a group of New Republic agents and Jedi students, all of which discovered that her powers were far more advanced than their own.
