Forrestal

"Jedi are meant to be keepers of the peace, not soliders."

- Master Forrestal to Brent Rhea

Forrestal was the former Apprentice to Ki-Adi-Mundi. Forrestal's trials after being granted the rank of Jedi Knight were put on hold when he and Mundi were assigned to head to Dantooine after being contacted by Ci-Tar to rescue Ben Yoakido and Brent Rhea. Forrestal became a Jedi Master and a Jedi General during the Clone Wars. He was also one of the few Jedi to survive Order 66, unlike his master. In the year 1936 ABY Forrestal was found by Sith Lord Darth Ch'Okx and his new apprentice Darth Kowe. He dueled the two, but was defeated when impaled by a spiky trap in the ancient temple the duel occured in.

Rescue on Dantooine
IN 33 BBY, the Republic learned of the death of their famed hero General Yoakido, who was killed with his crew aboard The Finest Hour orbiting Nar Shaddaa. However, Finis Valorum had been contacted by Ki-Adi-Mundi that the Cerean's spy Ci-Tar found Ben Yoakido, son of General Yoakido, and Ben's friend Brent Rhea. The two were the only survivors aboard The Finest Hour. Ci-Tar told the Chancellor that they were headed to Dantooine to do an investigation on the assassins who attacked them. Ki-Adi-Mundi and Forrestal headed to Dantooine with Republic Officers led by Ozzik Sturn. The group arrived at the remains of Brent's mansion and learned that a new threat called Battle Droids attacked the mansion. A battle then broke out against terrorists from the Skelldon J. Bones Crime Organization led by Rexel and the Republic forces. The group succeeded and recovered the remains of one battle droid and the holographic recordings of the attack. However, Ci-Tar was killed by a dying Rexel. Forrestal eventually recovered the skull of the fellow Cerean and brought it back to Coruscant for a funeral.
