Gaaraddik (Destiny)

Gaaraddik was a Wookiee male Jedi Master of the New Jedi Order and one of its founding members.

Biography
Born on Kashyyyk in the last century of the Galactic Republic, Gaaraddik's Force-sensitivity was too weak to make him eligible for training as a Jedi when he was discovered by Jedi Master. However, seeing a potential warrior in the young Wookiee, Sinube instead brought him to the Waldis and taught him various lightsaber arts. In time Gaaraddik became a skilled swordman and was placed as a vigilant guardian of the small academy.

Due to Waldis' remote nature, the planet never fell under threat of the Clone Wars and, because it had few fully trained Jedi, did not attract the notice of the Galactic Empire's purge. Indeed, it was not until New Republic scouts discovered the planet did Gaaraddik and the academy's staff learn of what had befallen the Jedi Order. They subsequently relocated to Yavin 4, where Gaaraddik became a founding member of the New Jedi Order, pasing on what Sinube had taught him to 's students.
