Ci-Tar

"You must be the son of the now-dead general of ours. I know this because I am a servant to the Republic. My name is Ci-Tar."

- Ci-Tar introduces himself to Ben Yoakido and Brent Rhea after saving them on Nar Shaddaa

Ci-Tar was a Male Cerean who served the last thirty years of his life dedicated to the Galactic Republic.

Rescue on Nar Shaddaa
In 33 BBY, Ci-Tar had been assigned by Master Yoda and Ki-Adi-Mundi to rescue Ben Yoakido, the son of the now-dead General Yoakido, and Ben's friend Brent Rhea who fled their terrorist infested ship to Nar Shaddaa. When the two arrived at a bar to buy drinks, the Wookiee bartendar suspected that the two were under age and all the bar patrons and bartendar turned out to be employees of Skelldon J. Bones, who assassinated General Yoakido, and prepared to capture them for the bounty. However, Ci-Tar was the only patron who attacked the patrons and bartendar. He killed one of the six assassins and fled with both Ben and Brent. He informed them that he worked with the Republic and wanted to get them back to Coruscant. However, Brent wanted to head to his mansion on Dantooine to check if terrorists from the Skelldon J. Bones Crime Organization attacked it.

Death
When they arrived on Dantooine, they found the remains of the mansion. While exploring the mansion, the three noticed remains of a new droid. After watching a holographic recording of Brent's butler being killed by one of the Battle Droids, Brent knew all about the droids. Brent's father had a meeting eight years ago with Nute Gunray on creating a droid army for the Republic. However, Brent's father refused saying that droids were not fit for battle and got into an argument with Gunray. After the argument, both of Brent's parents were assassinated on Coruscant. Reports had stated that Pa'lowick senators killed the two senators to get revenge on Dantooinians setting up an unathourized base on their home planet, but it was actually the battle droids and the Pa'lowick senators had been executed for no reason. Republic reinforcements led by Ki-Adi-Mundi and Master Forrestal arrived along with Republic officers led by Captain Ozzik Sturn. The group then encountered more tererorists. After a long duel, the group fled the planet along with both the remains of a battle droid and the holographic recordings of the attack on the mansion. However, Ci-Tar risked his life to save his friends when the terrorist squad's leader was killed by Ci-Tar, but the leader shot Ci-Tar in the head before dying, killing the brave Cerean. His skull was later returned to Coruscant and a funeral was held for him

Personality
Ci-Tar was both loyal and trustworthy to his job in the Republic. He was a good friend to the Jedi Order. He was also known to be a good user of his whip, which he used during many of his missions.
