Rahm Kota (SWChronicles)

"You've got a lot of anger in you kid. I know what the Jedi usually say about anger as much as you do. It's a good thing i was never your typical Jedi."

- Rahm Kota to Anakin Skywalker.

Rahm Kota was a Human male who served as a Jedi Master and General during the Clone Wars. Born on a war-torn world, Kota fought in the trenches during the planet's internal conflicts from the age of ten. At the age of eighteen, Kota met the Jedi Mace Windu, who had been dispatched to the planet to end the conflict peacefully.

Discovering Kota's Force-sensitivity, Windu took Kota back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi. Despite being well over the traditional age of acceptance, Kota was schooled in the Force by Master Yoda. He took Falon Grey as his Padawan sometime before the Clone Wars, training him to Knighthood. During the Clone Wars, Kota was made a general in the Grand Army of the Republic. He did not believe that clone troopers were fit for battle, however, and refused to lead them. Instead, he commanded his own militia, comprising volunteers.

22 BBY
Eight months into the Clone War, Kota was on Tatooine in secret trying to enlist volunteers to join his growing Malitia. While there he has an encounter with Former Jedi Padawan, Anakin Skywalker. Despite orders to arrest the former Jedi on sight, Kota decided to do a little investigating to see what the young man was up to.

While following Skywalker around Tatooine, Kota learned that the former Jedi was setting up a small underground movement to help slaves escape their captivity. Seeing this was in direct contradiction the the Jedi Council's declaration that Skywalker was a threat. To that end the Jedi Master revealed himself to the former Jedi.
