Shade Laonash Kenobi

"It's funny the way you look up to me, but I don't look up to you. I have to admit, though, you Ewoks are quite small, very small. There's only one thing you're bigger than: Darth Vader's brain."

- Shade speaking to the Ewoks during the capture of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker

Shade Laonash Kenobi, born Elizabeth Lonta Kenobi, was the former senator of Corellia. She was trained as a Jedi by Masdter Syfo-Dyas and General R2, before his depature. Laonash had long red hair, which she often kept tied back in a bun. She owned two droids, B-10PO and R2-Q4. Her best friends were R2, the president of Saturn 5, Skipper Brisbane and Rex Pine (who, interestingly enough, were battle droids and comrades).

She also spoke Huttese, which became very useful when dealing with R2's clients. As the half-sister to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Shade had a lot of faith in the Jedi and the Republic. Although she was aacused of being a Sith when sh erevealed to Anakin Skywalker she was trained by General R2.

Early life
Shade, born Elizabeth Lonta Kenobi, was the child of Treackle Sanghi and Ursula Derro. She was raised on a farm and often expressed her political views. At the age of seven Shade first tied her hair into a bun, as she stated in her diary. Her mother stated she looked like the Princess of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, and said she was not a good example to follow.However, Shade looked up to the newly crowned Queen of Naboo. On the family's trip to Coruscant she was taken on board by Jedi Master Syfo-Dyas. She was a good Jedi Knight, but left the order at the age of fifteen to persue a career in politics.

Parents' death
Shade's father died at the age of 66. Shade did not seek help from her mother. She studied hard at many schools until she was asked by Chancellor Valorum if she would like to represent Corellia in the Galactic Senate. Shade joined the Senate at the age of nineteen and then learnt to pilot a Jedi Starfighter and various other vechiles. she visted many planet including Saturn 5, which had no place in the senate. she visted Pine School to ask students about their views on polictics.

Recruited At Point Blank Range
She was discovered by General R2. R2 sensed she was able to use the force and was over cautious when questioning her. When Shade revealed she was working under Chancellor Palpatine's orders. R2 told her that he was once a Jedi, but left and was now training as a sith. Shade was trained as a Sith Lord and became R2's secound apprentice.

Trained By The Sith
"I'm suprised she know's what the force is, let alone how to use it."- Genral R2 speaking to himself about Shade.

Shade was trained well by R2 and became an expert force-user. Her lightsabre techniques were not as extrordianary, though. On a mission to the C.I.S ship, Jumbo Columbo, Shade manually planted explosives on one of two cannons, whereas R2 used the force to disable the other. Shade's training was minimal and the exercises were often interpted by duty, arguements and afternoon tea. She followed R2 on a mission to Mygeeto, the following year, however and seeing the droids defeating various Jedi and members of the clone army, she decided to rejoin the Jedi Order, knowing the C.I.S weren't going to be fighting for much longer.

Saturn 5 Great War
The Saturn 5 Great War raged on Saturn 5. It was a war between the government and a large groug of terrorist known as the LTG (Local Terrorist Group). During the war the 1 tonne truck was invented and many new guns came into use by the Saturn 5 Army. It was a war fought with bullets, tanks and manual weapons, no lasers, no lightsabres. To outsiders it is known as the 'Non-laser Saturn 5 Bloodbath,'. After the Great war had ceased, Shade traveeled back to Coruscant and was promoted to the rank of Jedi Master.

Half way through The Clone Wars
Shade continued to fight through the Clone Wars. She battled many of her old allies, including Count Dooku and General Grievious. She moved from planet to planet with a back-up unit. She assisted Obi-Wan kenobi and Mace Windu on Christophis. She eventually met with R2 on the battlefield and all hope of Shade rejoining the Sith faded. After a menacing battle Shade and R2 stopped and regrouped with their factions. They never met again in hand-to-hand combat until well after the Clone wars had finished.

Personality
Shade portrayed a dark personality, until rejoining the Jedi Order after the Battle of Mygeeto. She was determined, brave and hardy individual. many who worked around were encouraged to persue their dreams.
