Glynn-Beti (Jedi Renaissance)

"Glynn-Beti is a Jedi Master, and a fearless warrior. Also a shrewd one."

- Xeran

Glynn-Beti was a female Bothan Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. During the Jedi Renaissance, Glynn-Beti would be instrumental in the downsizing of the Army, the training of new recruits and her work would eventually earn her a seat on the Jedi High Council.

Master tactician
A Force-sensitive Bothan born on the world of Kothlis, Glynn-Beti was turned over to the Jedi Order at an early age for training in the ways of the Force. After graduating from the Coruscant Jedi Temple's academy at the age of thirteen, Glynn-Betti was chosen to be the Padawan of Jedi Master Jabidus Inspra and the pair traveled the Republic on several journey missions. Constructing a blue-bladed lightsaber at the Temple on Ilum, Glynn-Beti eventually passed her Trials of Knighthood and was elevated to the rank of Knight. Specializing as a Guardian, Glynn-Beti's interests fell to strategy and the study of battle simulations. Learning from Master Oppo Rancisis during his advanced classes at the Coruscant Temple, Glynn-Beti would later transfer to the Starfighter Corps' headquarters on Kamparas to perfect her piloting skills.

When Glynn-Beti chose not to take a Padawan, members of the High Council questioned her motivations for shirking the duty. The Bothan declared that her studies were not yet complete and she required more time in study before passing on incomplete knowledge to an apprentice. When her former master was slain in a confrontation with the early Confederacy of Independent Systems, Glynn-Beti decided it was time to take on a student. Selecting the young Gran Ulu Ulix, Glynn-Beti taught him the discipline needed to be a warrior of the Republic. When the Clone Wars erupted at Geonosis, Glynn-Beti and Ulix fought their way out of the Petranaki arena and back to Coruscant to take up ranks in the Grand Army of the Republic. Assigned to the 18th Sector Army of Night Hammer Command and raised to the rank of Master, Glynn-Beti worked closely with Commander Wilhuff Tarkin during the fighting. While Tarkin was fond of the Bothan's military knowledge, his Humanocentric nature did not allow for them to be close.

As a general, Master Glynn-Beti was dispatched with her clone troopers to defend Bespin from invasion. However, her strategy did not succeed and she was forced to withdraw from the battle unsuccessful. Instantly being reassigned, Glynn-Beti and her Padawan joined CT-4/619 in battling for Raxus Prime. There the Jedi discovered Count Dooku, leader of the CIS, attempting to harness the powers of a construct known as the Force Harvester. While the Jedi were unable to capture Dooku, they destroyed the potential weapon and sabotaged the Dark Reaper project. Discovering the orphaned Boba Fett during the battle, Master Glynn-Beti failed to recognize the dangerous child and had him shipped to Bespin to be placed with a local family there. However, Fett managed to escape, joining forces with the notorious Aurra Sing, a failed Jedi Glynn-Beti detested. Glynn-Beti and Boba Fett would once more cross paths she led the campaign on Xagobah. During the battle she thanked the mysterious Fett when he saved the life of Padawan Ulix, stating she was in his debt. In payment of that debt, Master Glynn-Beti assisted Fett in infiltrating the Mazariyan Citadel as part of the overall mission to capture one of the Confederacy's leaders, Wat Tambor.

Jedi Renaissance
Glynn-Beti and her Padawan were stationed on Eriadu when Master Mace Windu contacted them via their emergency beacons. Warning all Jedi to be wary of their clone troopers and other Republic officers not directly associated with the Order, Glynn-Beti and Padawan Ulix withdrew from the command center on Eriadu with Moff Tarkin and headed for Coruscant. Arriving on the capital planet, the pair escorted Moff Tarkin to the Senate building where he was appointed as a Triumvir of the Republic, representing the military in the interim executive branch formed after the execution of the traitorous Chancellor Palpatine. Assigned as security for Tarkin due to the familiarity with each other, Glynn-Beti and her apprentice were stationed outside his apartment at all times to ensure that nothing befell the newly appointed leader of the Republic. In the ensuing weeks, the war was brought to a swift end with the deactivation of the Separatist Droid Army and the arrest of the Separatist war council. As negotiations began with the Confederate Senate, the Republic Triumvirate began to pass executive orders restructuring the government and restoring the Galactic Constitution.

When the Triumvirate dissolved a little over a year after Palpatine's death and Bail Organa was appointed Chancellor, Glynn-Beti began to work alongside Master Shaak Ti to downsize the Grand Army's reliance on clones and train volunteers to fill the white armor symbolic of the military force. Drawing from across the galaxy, Glynn-Beti's recruiting efforts were highly praised and her training regimen at the Raithal Academy saw a high replacement of clones with recruits. Glynn-Beti remained active in the Academy system for two decades, only refusing the title of Headmistress due to her status as a Jedi. In 1 BBY, Glynn-Beti was recalled to Ossus by the Jedi High Council to replace the outgoing Councilor, T'ra Saa. Taking up a seat on the esteemed body, Glynn-Beti organized a strike team to lay siege to the planet Yavin IV and destroy the spirit of Exar Kun which sought to destroy the Jedi from his prison there. The Battle of Yavin, considered a turning point in galactic history because of the significant destruction of the last notable Sith spirit, also happened to mark the end of the galaxy's recovery from war. As the calenders were reset to mark the new era, Glynn-Beti continued her work with the High Council, maintaining her ties with the Republic military. During the Chancellorship of Meana Tills, Glynn-Beti strongly criticized the Dac-native of cutting the military-budget drastically. Advocating for a strong military with a heavy emphasis on peacekeeping efforts in Hutt Space.

Serving on the High Council through five Republic Chancellor's administrations, Glynn-Beti was most closely affiliated with the Selonian Chancellor Zerra Tundarian, who led the drive into Hutt Space and drove the criminal and slave empire out of systems long under the pall of Hutt domination and exploitation. Tundarian, a former trooper in the Grand Army, had trained directly under Glynn-Beti during their time at the academy on Raithal and the two maintained a friendly relationship during the woman's time in office. Glynn-Beti was often found on Coruscant attending military functions or accompanying Chancellor Tundarian at the Grand Army's marching grounds as peacekeepers were dispatched to new frontiers to bring about justice to Republic worlds. Following Tundarian's administration, fellow Bothan Borsk Fey'lya took up office. A man suspicious of the Jedi, Glynn-Beti found Fey'lya insufferable and decided to resign her seat on the High Council in favor of returning to her position of instructor at the Republic's Military Academy. Teaching strategy and ensuring the curriculum did not become anti-Jedi under Fey'lya's reign, Glynn-Beti eventually retired and took up a teaching position at the Guardian academy on Socorro. Glynn-Beti's life ended in 52 ABY after decades of dedicated service to the Order and the Republic. Cremated upon the ceremonial pyre in the Ossan Funeral Temple, Glynn-Beti's ashes were given to the River of Solem-De which ran through the city of Knossa and emptied into the great Sea of Ooroo.
