Tunta Steelina

Tunta Steelina was a female Inque Jedi Master during the Clone Wars and the Battle of Sharkla. When Order 66 was carried out, she left the Jedi Temple to her home planet, Inqua. Her mother, Queen Bree, hid her until the Battle of [[Sharkla. She was killed by Darth Vader. She is also the great-great-great-granddaughter of Queen Steelina.

Early Life
Tunta Steelina was born in the year of 45 BBY on Inqua as the daughter of Queen Bree and the older sister of Talia. Her mother had first found out that Tunta was a Force-Wielder when she was the age of 3. She contacted the Jedi Council on Coruscant and informed them of the news. The council had sent Jedi Master Oruba Desilijic Fortiure to find and bring back the force-wielding Inque. Fortiure was quite fascinated with the Inque, she was strong in the force and took her back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for training.

Training


Tunta turned out to be a very fast learner and was soon able to take on many forms and disguise her self during missions, like the rest of her species and Clawdites. She eventually trained against Jedi Swordsman Dooku, and during this exercise, she took on the form of another swordsman, Vurk Master Coleman Trebor. She defeated Dooku and went on to battle other Jedi masters, such as Shaak Ti, Pablo-Jill, her master Oruba Desilijic Fortiure, and even Yoda.

Trials
During the trials, Steelina, along with Anx Jedi Padawans Chalide Jur and Spika Howler. They were sent to the jungle planet of Felucia for the trials, which was very unusual. After finishing the first of three trials it got harder. Steelina and Howler managed to defeat the Zabrak Sith Lord, but Chalide was thrown into a wall and was crushed by a tree. But Howler and Steelina survived and went onto becoming Jedi Knights. During the trials, Tunta and Spika became friends and fought in battles such as the Battle of Putina, Cameleon, Felucia, and many others.

Battle of Putina
A few weeks before the Battle of Geonosis, Tunta was sent with fellow Jedi Knight Spika Howler to Putina to fight against the invading Trade Federation armies. Steelina and Howler were undercover as future-Separatist members Kyota Clay and Poonka Gra, who were sent to prison for treason, but were soon broke out by bounty hunters Aurra Wapa and Tuko Notivo. After finding out about the Death Star plans, they went straight for their ship, but was stopped by a group of battle droids and Poggle the Lesser. Then they both got out their lightsabers and destroyed the droids and took the Geonosian to Coruscant for interrogation.

Battle of Geonosis
When Howler and Steelina arrived at the Jedi Temple with Poggle for interrogation the Council had recieved a message from Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padme Amidala on Tatooine that informed the council of Obi-Wan Kenobi's kidnapping. The council then sent Howler, Steelina, Luminara Unduli, and a few others to go and tell the available Jedi Knights and Masters that were in the temple at the time leave for Geonosis. After getting Aayla Secura, Coleman Trebor, Oruba Desilijic Fortiure, and a number others, Steelina left with her old master and Spika. They then battled on Geonosis.

But when reinforcements arrived, Steelina had managed to get on a gunship but when she tried to pull Oruba and Spika on the gunship, she lost her grip and the three fell off the ship, but they managed to get onto another one. While Oruba had gone with Yoda, Tunta and Howler were dropped off at a reindevous point. They then met their commanders, Backs and Forwards, and the four went into battle.

But while fighting against droids, Neimoidian Lankty Dofine was escaping with Grevious and Lushros Dofine had run into the Inque Jedi. She then began a duel with the Kaleesh Jedi murderer, then she recognized him. He had came to the Temple once to become a Jedi Knight but the Council turned him down because he was too old. She then fought harder but he turned out to be too strong for the Inque and was about to kill her when Lankty had told the General to get out of the way, she was about to shoot the Inque Jedi Knight with a newly developed weapon, a particle destablizer. She shot Tunta and shot at her two more times when Tunta got up and pushed the Neimoidian out of the way and escaped onto a speeder. She then went back and got Howler, who was shot in the shoulder, but was alright, and they left to meet with her former master.

Order 66
Tunta Steelina was fighting against Separatist forces on the planet of Nal Hutta, during the Battle of Nal Hutta, when Darth Sidious had given the order to execute the Jedi Order. But instead of obeying it, Backs warned the Inque Jedi Master, which soon costed him his life, and so the Steelina ran. She managed to escape on a ship and landed on the planet of Felucia, where Spika Howler was battling against the Separatists. She then found her friend and encouraged Howler to go with her to the planet of Nar Shaddaa, but she said that she was going to help Shaak Ti and that they would see each other again.

But when Steelina arrived on Nar Shaddaa she had seen Clone Commandos forcing a Hutt named Zorda Desilijic Fortiure and her Huttlet, Zonnos, into an alley. She then followed them and found the Clones beating the Hutt and her child, and so Tunta took out her lightsaber and struck the clones down. Zorda thanked her and told Tunta what had happened and told her that she was the sister of Oruba Desilijic Fortiure, Steelina's former master. Wanting to stay, Tunta had to leave because seeing Zorda and Zonnos reminded her of her family and wanted to see them, so Steelina left for Inqua to see her family and hide in with the rest of the population.

Battle of Sharkla
In 10 BBY, Darth Vader and his forces came to Sharkla to invade and take over the capital and the planet. But the Steelinas and the Rebel Alliance were not going to take this lightly, so they fought back. But while protecting Gial Ackbar and her mother, Vader managed to break in the throne room and dueled with the Inque. But Vader had managed to bring along the particle destabilizer that Lankty Dofine had made and fired at Tunta, but one shot was fired at vice president Tuckachi and killed him instantly, then another shot at Queen Bree after trying to stop Vader from shooting Tunta. But with the other Inques distracted and wounded, Vader continued shooting at Tunta and ended up killing her. But then the Royal Guards came and started shooting their newly designed blasters and Vader jumped out the window and landed on to nearby AT-TE tank. He then had his forces retreat from the planet.
