Maya Zilyana

Maya Zilyana was born on the planet of Felucia to a group of Elasti colonists. Her parents left their home planet of Elasti to avoid religious persecution. Unfortunately, her parents were taken out by pirates and she was forced into exile at the age of 12. She fled into the woods and eventually found shelter. There, she met up with a group wild Rancors, and they took her in as their own. From there, she was raised by these creatures, and learned how to fend for herself in the wild. Through the troubles and tribulations she faced during this time, she eventually learned to call upon the forced when it was needed for her survival. One night she found a Jedi camp and decided to sneak in to steal food supplies and survival equipment. During this excursion she was caught by Jedi Youngling in Training Anakin Skywalker, which was given the duty to watch the food supplies that night. A small skirmish broke out, and after a quick fight she had pinned the poor youngling to the ground. She would have killed him if it wasn't for Jedi Ultra Mega Grand Inquisitor Hampton, who stepped and detained Maya. During the ensuing skirmish the Jedi Ultra Mega Grand Inquisitor sensed the noticeable connection between Maya and the Force. Upon sensing this, he decided that it would be wise to try and recruit her into the Jedi Order. He offered her food and shelter, in which Maya happily obliged. During the trip back to Coruscant Jedi Ultra Mega Grand Inquisitor Hampton began to sense Maya a bit stronger now, and foresaw both the Light and the Dark within her. He knew that is was going to take some time to break it out of her, but The Ultra Mega Grand Inquisitor was ready for the challenge. A few years later Maya had risen through the ranks and was officially granted the rank of Jedi Knight. Lucky for her, this rank would come into great use. The Clone Wars were starting. Soon she was Deployed to Master Work Station, and assisted the many Clones and Jedi on the station.
