Plo Koon (AU)

"The dark side is always hard to see."

- Plo Koon

Plo Koon was a Kel Dor Jedi Master who served as an honorary member on the Jedi Council.

Battle of Naboo
In 32 BBY the planet of Naboo was invaded by the Trade Federation. After Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi were killed on Tatooine by a Sith Lord named Darth Maul. He and the other members of the Jedi Council went to Naboo end the crisis. Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin were in charge of leading the Naboo Fighters into space to knock out the Droid Control Ship. Koon and Tiin managed to penetrate the shields and call a Republic Cruiser to land in the hangar with them and arrest the Neimoidians in control. They were successful and after the last Neimoidian was arrested, Plo Koon knocked the ship out of space, deactivating the droid army and ending the battle.

Clone Wars
In 22 BBY, his padawan Bultar Swan joined Koon on the Jedi Council and Plo Koon took on his next apprentice, a Togruta named Ahsoka Tano. Even though Koon was satisfied, he was still restless. The Separatists had lured star systems away from the Republic and into their party thanks to the ex-Jedi Dooku. After an assasination attempt on Chancellor Valorum, fellow Jedi Mace Windu went to Kamino in an attempt to arrest the bounty hunter who tried to assasin the Republic leader, Jango Fett. Fett escaped, but Windu learned of Dooku's plan. Plo Koon went to Geonosis with Yoda and two hundred other Jedi. Koon participated in the battle and Mace Windu arrived with a clone battalion. Three years later in 19 BBY, the droid leader General Grievous led an attack on Coruscant. His padawan Bultar Swan and five other Jedi were ordered by Shaak Ti to transport the Chancellor to his private bunker. Swan and the others were killed and Valorum was kidnapped by the droid leader. Koon helped Saesee Tiin in space once again by knocking out most of the Banking Clan Ships. After the Mace and Yoda rescued Valorum and killed Count Dooku, Grievous escaped to Utapau. Koon was assigned to go lead an army to conquer Mygeeto. It is likely that the Republic was successful since Plo Koon made the droids flee one of their bases.
