Daiba Jungle

Daiba Jungle was a Rodian Jedi who served as the Padawan to Arla Downe and was a member of the Jungle Clan. She wielded an indigo lightsaber.

Early life
Daiba was born on Rodia, in the city of Samana. She was the younger sister of Akhoda Jungle, a non Force Sensitive Rodian. She defied the Rodian stereotypes of being violent and agressive, in reality, she was very shy and quiet. She was discovered to be Force Sensitive at the age of six by the New Jedi Order and taken to the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV. While there, she trained under the watchful eye of Luke Skywalker. She became skilled in The Force and an average duellist. She was eventually picked to be the Padawan of Arla Downe, an Aleena Jedi Knight who had survived Order 66.

Training
Arla trained Daiba to hone her skills in The Force more than they already were. She also helped her to improve her duelling skills, which soon became incredible. However, Arla noted that Daiba's shyness was holding her back, and attempted to make her more outgoing. To help her teamworking skills, she and the members of Krakana Clan flew their Padawans to the planet of Kathol and left them there for a week to train. However, unbeknownst to them, a small group of Imperials were also there. When the Imperials discovered the Jedi, they attempted to hunt them down by using AT-ST/As. Eventually, the Padawans came up with a plan: They would gain help from the local Yapi population by having them raid the Imperials camp while the Jedi distracted them. While the Yapis were stealing the Imperials supplies, the Padawans managed to defeat the AT-ST/As by using their speed, agility and numbers. When their Masters came back, they were surprised to find their Padawans in the Imperial camp with four prisoners. The Imperials were sent to Coruscant for trial.

Yuuzhan Vong War
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Daiba first saw combat during the Second Battle of Helska, where she manned an X-Wing and shot down several Coralskippers that were attacking the New Republic fleet. During the battle one of her X-Wing's S-foils was badly damaged, but other than that incident, she escaped the battle unharmed. She and her master were later sent to Birgis. During the Battle of Birgis, Daiba valiantly defended the spaceport and killed numerous Mandalorians, but was forced to retreat when their numbers became too great. She and her Master barely managed to escape the planet. Both of them were at Rychel when it came under siege by the Yuuzhan Vong. While Arla fought on the ground, Daiba was fighting from the cockpit of an X-Wing. She managed to vaporise a number of Yuuzhan Vong soldiers and Chazrach slaves, before being attacked by Tu-Scart. Although Daiba managed to shoot it several times, her shots had no affect on the creature's tough hide and she was forced to fly away from it. When it became apparent that the New Republic would not win, she picked up her Master and retreated with all the other New Republic soldiers. When the New Republic believed that Pedd 4 would be attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong forces, Daiba was then posted there. Unfortunatley, there never was any attack on Pedd 4, it had all been a trick to divert New Republic soldiers from New Holgha to Pedd 4 so that New Holgha would be vulnerable to attack. During the Battle of Garqi, Daiba and Arla were aboard the Bothan Assault Cruiser, the Ralroost. They were taken planetside, where they helped to repel the Yuuzhan Vong soldiers. After the Battle of Ithor, Daiba's fellow Padawan Azara Vlanc deserted the war and her brother, Zakon Vlanc recruited her to help him track her down and bring her back. Although Zakon lost Azara on Tatooine, Daiba and the other Padawans of Krakana Clan managed to corner her on Pii III. However, they severly underestimated Azara's skills and she easily beat all of them. Daiba fought alongside Navi Sykes, but both were defeated when Azara first kneened Navi in the face and then used The Force to send a rock hurling into Daiba's stomach. While she was winded, Azara took the opportunity to Force Push Daiba away. Azara managed to escape, and when Zakon arrived to discover this, he was furious. Daiba was present at the First Battle of Ord Mantell. However, she was so shocked at the sight of the Yuuzhan Vong Dread Weapon, that she nearly crashed into the side of a Uro-ik v'alh. She escaped the battle with minor damage. During the First Battle of Fondor, Daiba tried piloting a Miy'til assault bomber. She was taught to fly it by Iso Da'taa, the Padawan of Marruc Goss. While flying the craft, she severly damaged a A-vek Iiluunu and crippled a Uumufalh.

Second Year
Daiba was at the Battle of Kalarbra, where she piloited a Chiss Clawcraft. Daiba was so impressed with the ship that she continued to use Clawcraft after the battle, using olny other fighters if her Clawcraft was unavailable. When Daiba learned that the Yuuzhan Vong had invaded Rodia, Daiba was concerned for the safety of her brother, who she knew would have stayed on Rodia in case the Yuuzhan Vong did attack. She was horrified to learn that he had been captured by Yuuzhan Vong shapers and mutated into a Vagh Rodiek, a horrific mutant creature bred for combat. This created a deep hatred for the Vong, and after the Battle of Rodia, Daiba started attacking the Yuuzhan Vong with a relentless, merciless fury. Arla became concerned and forced Daiba to go to Teth to meditate and calm down, lest she succumb to the Dark Side.
