Hojatsa

Hojatsa was a female Adnerem Jedi Knight of the Galactic Republic. Hojatsa was discovered by the Jedi Watchman Bodis-Ker Vitan when she was very young and taken for training at the Jedi Temple. She was eventually selected for training by the Jedi Master Justyn Ma'Ning. Following the completion of her training, Hojatsa was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight. She returned to her homeworld to serve her people and spent several years combating injustice in the Metsys system. She eventually became the contemporary of Bodis-Ker Vitan, the Jedi who had initially discovered her. Around 29 BBY she was recalled to Coruscant to select a Padawan and witnessed the annual Apprentice Tournament before making her decision.

Hojatsa selected the Balosar Zirk Mer'darro, a heavyset albino, as her apprentice, impressed by his nimbleness in the tournament, despite his less than slim appearance. After a couple years into Mer'darro's training, Hojatsa received word of the death of her former master, Ma'Ning, a victim of the disastrous Outbound Flight fiasco. Hojatsa continued to serve the Jedi Order, even as the Republic became embroiled in turmoil with the Separatist Crisis. Hojatsa's friend and mentor, Bodis-Ker Vitan was killed in an uprising during the crisis, leading Hojatsa to believe that the galaxy would soon be plunged into civil war. Hojatsa's predictions were proven true with the beginning of the Clone Wars, and Hojatsa and Mer'darro were sent to the front lines. On the planet of Ossus, Hojatsa and her Padawan were assigned to work alongside the Psadan Jedi Master, Rsidd and his Ho'Din Padawan, Usta. The four Jedi defended the ruins of the Great Jedi Library, keeping it out of Separatist hands.

By the end of the Clone Wars, the Jedi had successfully kept the Jedi artifacts out of Separatist possession, even being stranded on the world when it fell to the Separatists in the First Battle of Ossus. The group held their position for two years, until the planet was finally liberated in the Second Battle of Ossus. However, during their time holed up in the Great Jedi Library, they had time to search the long forgotten ruins, eventually coming upon a mysterious old artifact. Unsure of the relic's origins, the group prepared to return the discovery to the Jedi Temple following the liberation of Ossus. However, before they could depart the world, Order 66 was enacted, turning their loyal Clone troopers against them. Using the power of the ancient artifact, the Jedi killed their attackers and fled Ossus.

Eventually, the four Jedi found their way to the forest moon of Endor, a location far from the reach of the Galactic Empire that was pursuing them. Although they tried to keep to themselves, the moon was teeming with life, and soon they became acquainted with the sentient life of Endor. With their powers in the Force, the four Jedi set themselves up as gods, ruling over the natives. Using the powerful relic that they had discovered, the Jedi were able to manipulate the weather, convincing the Ewoks that they controlled the changing of the seasons. As the years passed, the four Jedi each set up elaborate structures and took to being worshiped by the locals. Hojatsa, taking the guise of the Leaf Queen, controlled the fall season, and ruled benevolently, even granting "wishes" to those that prayed to her.
