Kydrane Witress

Kydrane Witress was a Jedi Knight in the New Republic in 2,000 ABY. He was strong in the Force like his great ancestor, Kydan Witress, who adapted the Force quickly enough to be granted as Padawan. He was recommended for his unique abilities and skills with the lightsaber.

Present Life
In 2,000 ABY, Kydrane and his partner, Naaja Bondara, were welcomed back in the Jedi Council after their battle on Mandalore with the Mandalorian Clan. Kydrane and Naaja went to the Cantina after they finished their meditation in their rooms. They walk into the cantina and buy themselves a drink. After 20 minutes in the Cantina Bar, Naaja was starting to get dizzy after he drank 5 beers. Kydrane shook his head in disbelief about Naaja. Just as they were about to buy another drink, three Rodian Bounty Hunters came up to both of them, telling them they have a high bounty on their heads. Before they could finish, Kydrane and Naaja stood up and drawed out their lightsabers and killed the Rodians. They paid for their drinks and walked out of the Cantina and headed back to the Jedi Temple. Before they started walking back, Kydrane's Holo-Pad Communicater started beeping. It was a transmission from the High Jedi Council. They requested both Kydrane and Naaja to come back and meet them in the Council room. So Kydrane and Naaja ran as fast as they could back to the Jedi Temple. They entered the Jedi Temple and headed right for the Council room. As they entered the room, they saw the whole Council looking straight at them. They stood in front of their Jedi Masters and bowed before them. The Council announces that there is a great disturbence in the Force. Kydrane and Naaja look suprised and confused about what their master said. They continue to explain that the Sith and the New Empire has become stronger and are planning to strike the Republic and Jedi Order soon. The Council insist that they all be aware of whats coming. They Council ajourns and Kydrane and Naaja leave the room.

Battle of Coruscant
Just after the Council was ajourned, Kydrane and Naaja started to talk to one another about what the Council said about the Sith and New Empire becoming stronger. Just as they were walking down the Jedi Hall, they hear the Emergency alarm outside of the Jedi Temple and rush outside to see whats going on. As they exit the Temple, Kydrane and Naaja were shocked and suprised. They saw hundreds of Imperial Star Destroyers and TIE Fighters in the sky. Before they could think that it couldn't get any worse, they see the oldest Imperial cruisers, the Sith Cruisers, heading right to the planet's surface. Before they entered the Temple, they saw Imperial Storm Commandos, Sith Troopers, and Dark Acolytes heading right for them. They knew they weren't strong enough to defend themselves, so the fled into the Temple to warn the others. But it was too late. The New Empire has already broken through the roofs and started killing all the Jedi Kngihts and Jedi Masters one by one. Kydrane and Naaja hid from the troopers so that they won't be discovered or know that they were here. They watched as their Jedi brothers and sisters were being killed by the Acolytes and their troopers. They waited and waited until the coast was cleared and rushed to the Council room. As they entered, theey find that all the Jedi Masters have been killed. They find them scattered everywhere, along with many Dark Acolytes, Imperial Storm Commandos and Sith Troopers on the ground as well.

The Escape
They went up to their Jedi Masters and took their lightsabers in membrance of their honor and tradition. Then they left the room and headed to the Droid room. As they tried to find something to escape with, they find a damaged R2-K7 unit. They grabbed some parts from the lockers and reprogramed it to serve them. They named their new R2 unit, Rusty. They sneakded from room to room until they reached the Carbon Freezing Chamber. They both thought for a moment and came up with a plan. They froze themselves in Carbonite Freezing state and had Rusty take them to a Imperial Armored Freighter. They took off and left the Jedi Temple and Coruscant behind them. They went into hyperspace to get far away from Imperial space.
