Galatea Korrando

History
Galatea Korrando was a female Human Jedi Master, who was active throughout the Galaxy during 120 BBY – 19 BBY. During her years, she accumulated much knowledge from various planets and systems, using skills learnt during her years as a Jedi Padawan, and a later Jedi Knight to explore, define and harvest information from various species from a wide variety of planetary systems.

She initially served in the Archaeological Corps as a failed Padawan, discovering ancient Jedi artefacts on planets once inhabited by the Jedi Order, such as Ossus. She also dealt with the discovery of a Holocron, whose knowledge she added to her growing amount and then later handed over to the Jedi Order. After her service in the Archaeological Corps, during which time she had caught the eye of a Jedi Master to train under, she served under Master Alor, where she proved to be extremely gifted in the Force, more so than in her lightsaber skills, despite being a relatively accomplished fighter.

She later headed into the Jedi Archives after her Master died during an explosion on-board her ship, the Ruby of the Force. Despite being cleared of all charges, the Jedi High Council deemed she was unfit for active physical duty, should the need arise, and she was dispatched to the Jedi Archives, where her knowledge again increased as she served under the Chief Librarian of the time, later becoming Chief Librarian in her own right, and adding extensively to the Jedi Archives.

Her knowledge of the Galaxy was astounding, and shortly after finishing adding to the Jedi Archives her extensive knowledge, she passed in her Jedi Knight Trials, and was appointed a Jedi Master, as well as Master of the Council of First Knowledge for her “services to the Jedi Order, and the Jedi Archives”. Despite being the Master of the Council of First Knowledge, she still accumulated knowledge, taking several extensive off-planet trips to unknown locations in the Galaxy, spending many months away from the Temple when such activity was unusual, to say the least.

Her knowledge was often sought by the Council, in matters which they required additional knowledge about lore and planetary customs to defuse several situations on planets throughout the Galaxy.

Her knowledge was finally sought again, after many years, during the Ossus Crisis, in which the Jedi High Council had sensed a disturbance in the Force and requested Supreme Chancellor Valorum inform the Senate of this. However, Valorum, even by this early stage, had begun losing most of his power amongst the Senate and the most he could do was send the discussion for debate on the Senate Floor and propose a Motion on a course of action to take. Deciding that the length of time this took was risky, and suspecting the Dark Side to be at work here, the Council decided to send a task force of the best and brightest of the Order to Ossus to investigate, and if necessary, resolve the impending crisis.

She was chosen to be one of the task-force, the most senior there and as a Jedi Master, the most gifted in the ways of the Force and thus able to withstand Dark Side corruption to an extreme amount, she was tasked with assisting the other Jedi, watching over them and ensuring that they did not fall to the Dark Side. Her knowledge and rank as Master of the Council of First Knowledge was also an important factor in choosing her to serve on the task force, as her knowledge of Ossus was extensive, and could be considered to be the foremost authority on Ossus at the time.

==Early life== Galatea originated from one of the Lower Apartments in Coruscant, being born to a relatively poor Senator and a mother who spent her time scavenging amongst the wreckage of other Lower Apartments. It was not by mere luck that she was discovered to be a Force Sensitive by a Jedi. Her father took her to the Senate Hall one day, as her mother was off scavenging and staying alone was simply too dangerous.

A Jedi convention to the Senate was occurring on that day, and a particularly astute, wise Jedi Master by the name of Master Alor sensed a slight disturbance in the Force

==Legacy== Despite having fallen to the dark side of the Force, Galatea Korrando left behind an impressive legacy when she finally became One with the Force. Her teachings and knowledge were carefully recorded in secret locations across the Galaxy, so that future Jedi may discover her wisdom and benefit from it, just as she did.

With her release into the Force, the dark taint that had occupied Ossus had finally vanished and would never return again during her temporary time as a Force Ghost. Despite what the Jedi High Council had previously said about her, she was later revered as a Sage Master and one of the most influential Jedi of that Galactic Era.

Unfortunately, her name was swiftly lost to the sands of time, when Palpatine's clone-troopers marched upon the Jedi Temple, initiating Operation: Knightfall and the remaining Jedi Order attempted to destroy the large collection that Korrando had helped amassed. From then onwards, her name was not uttered in the Galaxy, until the time of the New Republic. ==Personality and traits==
