Biography
Discovered to be Force-sensitive at an early age on his homeworld of Drgi, Rorr'hn Liakkor was taken to the Coruscant Jedi Temple for training in the ways of the Force. A near-H'nemthe, Liakkor's species was a hardier offshoot of their H'nemthe cousins, evolved to survive on the harsh world of Drgi with more pronounced cranial horns and fingers that ended in talons. A student of the Temple academy, Liakkor was selected as the Padawan of Jedi Master Qiyat Fendel following his seventh nameday and a strong performance in the Academy Apprentice Tournament of 26 BBY. Appreciating the Duros Jedi Master's plain speech and direct teaching methods, Liakkor eagerly accepted the challenges he was tested with and quickly learned Fendel's piloting methods and skills with a lightsaber. Constructing his own weapon at the Jedi Temple, the pair traveled to the Temple on Ilum where Liakkor used an amber crystal he discovered in the caves beneath the Temple to complete the weapon.

By the age of 12 Liakkor was considered an adult, and Fendel deemed him ready to undergo the Trials of Knighthood. Undergoing a battery of difficult challenges, Liakkor managed to defy the odds and overcome the Trials and ascend to the rank of Jedi Knight. An eager young Jedi, Liakkor sought the path of the Sentinel, perfecting his piloting skills with the Jedi Starfighter Corps while also studying mechanics in the Temple hangars. As the Republic faced a mounting Separatist Crisis, Liakkoor joined the Order's Technical Division and worked alongside his friend Kazdan Paratus as the Order prepared to face more heavily armed ships in the coming years. When the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, Liakkor accompanied the Jedi strike team to Geonosis, flying under the command of Jedi Master Adi Gallia during the first major battle of the war.
