Adi Gallia (Powerstaark)

Adi Gallia was a human Jedi Master who served on the Jedi Council. An adept warrior, researcher and negotiator, Gallia was a well known and respected member of the Order. She discovered a Force sensitive baby named Tom Norton during a diplomatic mission on Bespin and fought during the Clone Wars.

Early life
Born on Coruscant, to diplomats from Corellia, Gallia first had experience with the Jedi when her parents went to negotiations at Lannik. While there, the Red Iaro launched an attack. Adi's life was saved by Lannik Jedi Even Piell. Gallia felt a debt of gratitude to the diminutive Jedi, and it inspired her to become a Jedi herself, after it was discovered she was Force-sensitive.

Eventually, Adi became a well known diplomat and researcher as well as a formidable warrior and earned a seat on the Jedi Council.

Jedi Missions
As a Council member, Adi Gallia succeeded in many assignments, including those undertaken during the Stark Hyperspace War. Adi and her Padawan Siri Tachi went on many missions with Adi's close friend Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi. On their first mission together, the two pairs of Jedi traveled to the world of Kegan where they were tasked to recover a Force-sensitive baby girl. Though they initially received difficulty, Adi and Qui-Gon, along with their apprentices, managed to pull off the mission. Gallia and Siri would then team up with Obi-Wan to rescue Qui-Gon when the Jedi Master was captured by the insane scientist Jenna Zan Arbor.

Finding Tom Norton
Fifteen years before the Clone Wars, Adi Gallia was sent on a diplomatic mission to Bespin where she discovered a Force sensitive baby named Tom Norton. She succeeded in her mission and took the baby back to Coruscant to be raised as a Jedi.

Final mission with Qui-Gon
On their last mission together before Qui-Gon's death, Adi, Siri, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan had to protect a boy named Talesan Fry who had overheard a plot against twenty senators. The Jedi succeeded and saved Fry, but during the mission Siri and Obi-Wan fell in love, despite the Jedi Code that forbade attachments. Adi did not realize this, but Qui-Gon did. He, however, decided not to tell her.

Emissaries to Malastare
After the Battle of Naboo, Adi Gallia traveled with fellow Council members Mace Windu, Even Piell, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Plo Koon, Yaddle, and Ki-Adi-Mundi's Padawan A'Sharad Hett to Malastare to supervise a peace treaty between warring factions. Upon arriving at the meeting between the Lannik Prince R'cardo Sooflie IX and the Red Iaro, R'cardo enraged Adi, who declared that she was here to finish her parents' work. After the first part of the negotiations finished the Jedi were offered a lift to their quarters by the Lannik advisor Hutar Zash. They were betrayed by Hurtar and the Lannik bodyguards attempted to kill all the Jedi. Even Piell sliced the speeder in half causing himself, Adi, and Mace Windu to fall into a podrace below. They were rescued by the other Jedi and speculated that the Red Iaro were going to kill the Prince and hurried to his building. However, when they arrived the terrorists had set Akk dogs on R'cardo. Gallia was attacked by one but was saved by Yaddle who stabbed the beast in the eye. Mace Windu befriended the other through the force and brought the negotiations to an end, but succeeding in the mission.

The hunt for Aurra Sing
In 8 BBG, Adi Gallia was sent with Ki-Adi-Mundi and A'Sharad Hett to track down the deadly bounty hunter Aurra Sing, an infamous killer of many Jedi including A'Sharad's own father, Sharad Hett. Piloting a Consular-class space cruiser, they eventually found her in the Kamdon system. They were nearly killed in a space battle with the assassin, but were able to eject in an escape pod.

The three Jedi were taken in by a nearby Quarren ship, which Senator Tikkes was onboard. The ship landed on a planet in the Kamdon system, following Aurra Sing. Tikkes's scientists investigated the planet, most getting caught up in rope traps or mines. Then Aurra Sing appeared on her speeder bike.

Tikkes ordered his men to kill her, but, after blocking some blaster bolts with her lightsaber, Adi called upon the Force to throw a large bolder at Sing. Ki-Adi, unsure that Sing was dead, sent Adi Gallia to reassure. Just as Ki had suspected, Sing survived, and escaped. As Adi was searching around, she found a case, and decided the case probably belonged to Sing and was of great importance to her. So she decided to open the case and discovered that the stories were true, Sing had killed Jedi and realized that she was heading for Senator Tikkes, and Padawan Hett was the only one standing in her way. Adi headed towards Tykkes' ship but she needn't have bothered as A'Sharad managed to defeat Sing, though she managed to escape once again.
