Jolee Merome

Jolee Merome, born Jole'emerome, of Ryloth was a Jedi turned Separatist Twi'lek ambassador.

Early life
Merome was found to be Force-sensitive by Jedi Master Quinlan Vos at the age of three months. Inducted into the order, he soon began lightsaber training. Mastering Shii-Cho and being selected by the Talz Dama Lenuke as an apprentice. Dama Lenuke taught him Force powers such as Force Repulse and Force Persuasion. Lenuke also taught him Soresu and Ataru. At the age of fifteen, Merome was kidnapped by Asajj Ventress. She corrupted him to the dark side of the Force through means of torture.

Separatist
"POWER!!!!! UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!"

- An oft-repeated phrase that Merome used when he was in a humorous mood. Years later, Darth Sidious would say those same words in a less-than-joking manner

Joining Count Dooku as an aide in the Separatist Senate, Merome caught sight of Xalandra Nova. Asking Dooku who she was, Dooku told him that she was responsible for the power of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, Corporate Alliance, and Commerce Guild. Merome was preparing to ask him her name, but the sudden attack of Republic troops interrupted him. Igniting his green lightsaber, Merome leapt across the chamber, using a Soresu cadence to cover the retreat. A stray blaster bolt hit senator Mina Bonteri in the chest, killing her instantly. Nova Corp security guards began firing on the assailants, while the senators retreated to a panic room. With the threat dispelled, Xalandra took notice of his bravery and skill. When he was presented to the senate afterwards to be commended for his bravery, his conduct further intrigued her. Xalandra asked him if he had diplomatic experience. Being taught that in the Jedi order, Merome said yes. In need of a diplomat for her company so she could resume more important matters, Xalandra offered him a position, which he accepted.

Nova Corp
Merome quickly became accustomed to his position of authority in Nova Corp. Being Ambassador of Nova, he carried the weight of the authority of Xalandra Nova in negotiations. He represented Nova Corp in the senate of the Pure Clan, as well as Nova herself during negotiations with her enemies and serving as proxy with her allies.

Attack on the Senate
When Merome was eighteen years of age, the Pure Clan Senate was attacked by Razul Hero. Merome called in the Nova Corp army while he held of the assailant. Daniel Greenpulser, Supreme Chancellor of the senate, ushered the senators to a panic room, with Merome holding off the assailant while he was accosted by Nova Corp. Further attacks led to senate being held in the panic room.

Imposter
"Chancellor, I've never seen her before. She is a fraud!"

- Merome on the imposter

One day, a meeting of the Pure Clan senate was called. Merome arrived, as did Taylor Windpulse. Claiming that Lady Nova had replaced Merome with her, the result was an uproar. Senate was adjourned early and Windpulse and Merome were given a lecture by Chancellor Greenpulser about wasting the senate's valuable time.

Behind the Scenes
This article was written by Gnost-Dural, and was based on Dural's character in the MMO game, Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures. Xalandra Nova is the name of the leader of the powerful yet controversial squad Nova Corp on Clone Wars Adventures. Dural, through Merome, serves as her personal ambassador, and represents Nova Corp in many senates, including, but not limited to, the Pure Clan Senate and the Shining Senate, which Merome built in one of his homes.
