Shaak Ti (HarmonyGrex)

Shaak Ti was a Force-sensitive female and prominent member of the Jedi Order during the twilight years of the Galactic Republic. Discovered to have strength in the Force an infant on Shilli, she was sent to Coruscant for training but would later return to her homeworld to rediscover her roots. After several years of training under Quarren Jedi Master Sitada Yunn, Ti ascended to knighthood and took on her first student, Fe Sun. Choosing to train her on her home planet rather than accepting missions from the Jedi High Council, Ti emphasised training and knowledge over experience. Perhaps as a result of this, Sun was killed on one of her first missions as a Jedi Knight.

Shortly after the conclusion of the Naboo Crisis in 32 BBY, Ti (now elevated to the rank of Jedi Master) chose to take on a second apprentice - Girrolt Raxis. Choosing to heed the advice of the council, Ti chose to train Raxis in a more orthodox way, and he ascended to knighthood in 26 BBY. Later that same year, Ti received an invitation to join the Jedi High Council after the death of Master Yaddle, and graciously accepted.

In 22 BBY, Ti was part of the 200-strong Jedi team assembled by Mace Windu to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padmé Amidala from the Geonosis Petranaki Arena. Surviving the conflict and escaping on a gunship, upon the Jedi's return to Coruscant the Clone Wars officially begun. With the militarisation of the Jedi Order, Ti accepted the role of Jedi High General in the Grand Army of the Republic and was assigned to Kamino to oversee production of clone troopers. It was on this planet that she took an interest in the young Kaminoan Force-sensitive Errka Di, and was given special permission from the High Council to take her on as Ti's third Padawan. Di saw little of the war due to being stationed on Kamino with her master, but a strong maternal bond developed between Ti and her apprentice. In 20 BBY, during an assault on Kamino by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Di was cut down by bounty hunter Aurra Sing while protecting her master. From that day forward, Ti resigned herself to never take an apprentice again.

As the war began to come to a close, Ti was called back to the Jedi Temple and attended several important meetings regarding the fate of the Separatists. When Master Windu went to arrest Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, now revealed as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Ti was put in command of the Jedi Temple alongside fellow councillor Coleman Kcaj. After witnessing an army of the clone troopers heading towards the temple, Ti began preparing the remaining Jedi for battle while Kcaj evacuated as many members of the order as possible. Eventually, Master Kcaj was reluctantly forced to flee on a ship of his own, though Master Ti remained stalwart and was eventually cut down in her meditation chamber by Jedi Knight-turned Sith Lord Anakin Skywalker.

Unlike her other apprentices, Girrolt Raxis survived the Clone Wars and the ensuing Great Jedi Purge that followed the execution of Order 66. However, after witnessing the deaths of so many he turned to the dark side of the Force, eventually being brought to the attention of and captured by the Galactic Empire. He was later freed and redeemed by the Rebellion and would later become one of the founding members of the New Jedi Order. Ti's master, Sitada Yunn, was killed very early on in the Clone Wars by General Grievous.
