Ki-Adi-Mundi (AU)

"I will go. I have good relations with the Wookiees."

- Ki-Adi-Mundi volunteering to defend Kashyyyk

Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Cerean Jedi Master who served on the Jedi Council.

Invasion of Naboo
In 32 BBY, the planet of Naboo was in danger. Chancellor Valorum sent the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi to deal with the invading Trade Federation armies. However, the negotiations had failed and the two Jedi were eventually killed by Darth Maul. Yoda sensed a disturbance in the force and called the council to order. Ki-Adi and the other eleven council members went to Naboo to deal with the Sith Lords. The Jedi, Gungans, and Naboo Security Forces teamed up to take on the droid armies. Ki-Adi was in charge of leading the Gungan forces in the Grassy Plains to take out the droid armies led by OOM-9. Mundi and the Gungan Tarpals had the armies on the run. A few Gungans were killed, but the fighting ended when Yoda, Mace Windu, and Even Piell captured Viceroy Nute Gunray, killed Darth Maul, and neutralized the droid armies. However six of the council members were killed by Darth Sidious who had escaped.

Clone Wars
In 22 BBY the ex-Jedi Dooku helped created the Confederacy of Independent Systems. One night, Valorum was almost assasined by Dooku's bounty hunters Jango Fett and Zam Wessel. However, Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi foiled the plan and pursued the two hunters around Coruscant until Wessel had been injured by Ki-Adi-Mundi. Mundi sliced one of her arms off and forced her to reveal who hired her. Wessel said Jango Fett's name before Fett killed her with a toxic saber dart. The dart led Windu to an investigation on Jango Fett. Windu left for the forgotten planet of Kamino with his droid R4-P17 and met the Kaminoans. The Prime Minister Lama Su allowed Windu to keep the clone armies that were made by Fett. Windu then met up with Jango and his son Boba Fett tried to kill Windu, but failed. Jango was tricked by Mace to reveal that Count Dooku and Nute Gunray were behind everything and were located on Geonosis. After the two Fetts escaped, Windu contacted Coruscant and told Yoda, Valorum, the Jedi, and the senators about the events that had happened. Ki-Adi-Mundi and Shaak Ti volunteered to go to Geonosis and deactivate the droid factories. In the Senate, Naboo's senator Sio Bibble gave emergency powers to Valorum for the creation of the Republic's clone army. Yoda and the remaining Jedi went to Geonosis to help out Mundi and Shaak Ti. The two Jedi made it into the factories only to be ambushed and captured by Dooku, Jango Fett, and General Grievous. Mundi and Ti were sentenced to be executed by a Reek and a Nexu. However Yoda and the Jedi saved them and a battle started. Fett was killed by Yoda during the battle while Ki-Adi bested the Reek. When the Jedi were almost in danger, Mace Windu arrived with the clones. Mundi then led forces at a command center to take on retreating Federation Starships while Mace and Yoda dueled with Dooku, who had fleed the planet. In 19 BBY Grievous, whom Ki-Adi Mundi had delt with several times during the Clone Wars, invaded Coruscant and kidnapped Valorum. Mundi was occupied with helping Kit Fisto deal with ground forces. Mace and Yoda rescued Valorum in space and killed Dooku during the process. However, General Grievous escaped. Droid forces were invading the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. Mundi, having a good relationship with the Wookiees, volunteered to go their and save the Wookiees. Windu and Fisto went to Utapau and killed Grievous. Mundi arrived on Kashyyyk and met up with Chewbacca, his old Wookiee who informed the armies of the invading droids. After capturing the Separatist General Gha Nachkt, the droids' power generator was destroyed and Kashyyyk was safe.
