Klossi Anno (Jedi Renaissance)

Klossi Anno was a female Chalactan Jedi Knight serving the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the Jedi Renaissance era. A commander within the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, Anno went on to become a Knight and a researcher at the Temple of Knowledge on Tython, Kaleth.

Early life
Discovered to be Force-sensitive at birth on Chalacta, Klossi Anno's parents gave her over to recruiters for the Jedi Order when their daughter was two standard years old. Taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for training in the ways of the Force, Anno was placed within an Initiate Clan with which she would study for the next eleven years within the Temple's Academy. Studying the ways of the Force, lightsaber combat, political structure and survival skills, Anno was eventually ready to participate in the Temple' Apprentice Tournament of 27 BBY after her thirteenth Name Day. Displaying impressive use of the Force to suspend her opponent mid-leap, Anno was noticed by Jedi Knight Digo Pret and accepted to study by the Gotal's side on her way to Knighthood.

Departing the Temple, Anno and her master took on many assignments for the High Council which tested her skills in diplomacy and her patience. Early during her apprenticeship, Pret accompanied his student to the Jedi world of Ilum where Anno was to participate in the Gathering ritual within the Temple above the Order's crystal caves. Marching across the frozen wastelands to meet with other Padawans and their masters gathered within the Chapel of Seta-Le before entering into the caverns in search of a crystal for their lightsaber. Delving deep in search for the crystal which resonated with her the most, Anno found a blue Adegan crystal and sought out the door to the Temple above. Locating the ancient door, Anno entered the abandoned Temple where the gathered Masters awaited their students. Welcomed by Master Pret, the pair ascended into the main ritual chamber of the Temple where she used the Force to combine the crystal with the hilt pieces she had constructed before arriving on the planet. Once completed, the lightsaber emitted a vibrant blue blade which she would carry the rest of her life.

In 22 BBY, the Clone Wars erupted between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, sparking a massive upheaval across the galaxy. Reporting to Coruscant alongside Pret, Anno was given the rank of Commander within the Grand Army of the Republic and was tasked with leading the Republic's new clone forces across numerous battlefronts. Assigned campaigns with her master, the pair were part of the 10th Sector Army and tasked with defending the Hydian Way's Outer Rim portion. Part of Crimson Dagger Command based out of Taris, they worked alongside the same clone troopers over the next three years as they deflected Confederate attacks and prevented neutral systems from declaring for the Separatists. While a strong fighter, Anno preferred a peaceful approach and was often reticent to enter into a fight. While doing her duty, Anno was overjoyed when an emergency beacon from Coruscant ordered all Jedi back to the Jedi Temple. Departing Taris with her master, the pair arrived at the Temple to find the entire Order assembled for a Conclave in the Great Hall. When Master Mace Windu announced the appointment of a new Grand Master, Tomac Moorcé, Anno was excited to hear the High Council would abandon its servitude to the Republic and instead serve all of the galaxy's citizens as demanded by the Force. Relinquishing her rank of Commander, Anno remained on Coruscant with Pret to assist with the Order's planned move from Coruscant to Ossus.

When time finally came to begin moving members of the Order to the city of Knossa, Anno and Pret traveled with a transport carrying supplies for the new Grand Academy and assisted in processing and unloading it. Over the next few years, Anno continued to grow in the Force as the Order flourished and healed from the wounds of war and she was eventually deemed ready to face the Trials of Knighthood. Alongside her master, Anno boarded a transport which would take her from Ossus on the Outer Rim to the Deep Core fortress world of Tython where the Order maintained ten Great Temple of learning and home to the Trials of Knighthood.
