Biography[]
Early life[]
The Jedi Master Plo Koon was sent to the planet to settle a border dispute between Humans and Togrutans. An assassin was sent from the Humans to eliminate the King, Senator, and a Governor. The Jedi Master interfered and saved the them, the King offered his 3 day old daughter to be taught as a Jedi. The Jedi Master realizing Ahsoka was force sensitive accepted promising she would be in good care.
As Ahsoka trained in the Jedi Temple she developed a friendship with fellow Togruta Ashla. She also made rivals with a tall humanoid called Keic. Ahsoka was in the Wolf Clan and started to prefer using Shien. She grew up being a little mischievous. She fell into a deep depression after Ashla was selected by Jedi Master Ro but died in her first mission.
Ahsoka was beginning to get worried about whether she would get chosen by a Jedi Knight or not. Yoda and Obi-wan conversed among each other and decided that Ahsoka was the perfect apprentice for Anakin to break his bonding habit.
First Missions[]
Battle of Christophsis[]
The Battle of Christophesis was not going well for the Republic but upon the arrival of the artillery the Confederacy retreated. When supplies came for the Clones instead they got Ahsoka. She was quickly mistaken by Anakin to be Obi-wan's new Padawan but she quickly explained to him that she was his Padawan. The Clones started to form a plan to get past the shield and deactivate it so they can use the artillery. She and Anakin were chosen to do this. As the droids marched past them as they hid under a box. When the droids left they accidently bumped into some Droidekas. They quickly destroyed them and found the Generator. She charged for the Generator and set off some droids. Anakin dealt with the droids while Ahsoka set up the bombs but seeing that her master needed help sent a wall with a hole down to smash the droids and allow her master to slip through the Hole. She then detonated the bombs and the clones defeated the remaining droids. Yoda arrived and informed them that the son of Jabba the Hutt had his son kidnapped and he wanted them to find him.
Battle of Teth[]
Tracing the kidnapper to Teth, Ahsoka, Anakin, and the 501st Legion attacked the monastery which housed the droids and Jabba's son Rotta. They fought their way inside and saved Rotta but realized he was very sick. They tried to take care of him but Anakin made small remark that was recorded by Asajj Ventress and trasmitted it to Dooku to use it as false evidence that the Jedi had kidnapped Rotta. The droids then reattacked the Clones but the Jedi got away. They then stole a starfighter called the Twilight and launched off to Tatooine.
Battle of Tatooine[]
After healing Rotta and droppong out of Hyperspace they were immediately attacked by IG-100 Bodyguards in some interceptors. They crash landed and split up from each other. Ahsoka took Rotta and Artoo. Anakin took the pack and filled it with rocks which Dooku sliced in a lightsaber duel a little later. Ahsoka then incountered a few IG droids and took them out with some difficulty. Ahsoka and Anakin met up in the palace and gave Rotta to Jabba who immediately ordered their execution. Padme appeared in a hologram and reasoned with him at the last second telling him that Ziro had kidnapped him. Obi-wan and Yoda came and the Hutt agreed to let the Republic use his space lanes.
Later Missions[]
Battle of Gwori[]
Master Kenobi suggested a strike on the Banking Clan warship building factories. It soon became clear that the Gwori System was the target. Complicating a possible strike team's sabotage attempt was a gigantic bio-scan-irradiator-incinerator that would kill any living forms on ships that pass through it. Anakin then made a plan that would successfully pass this complication; the strike team would freeze themselves in carbonite, which would resist the radiation produced by the incinerator. Anakin ordered Ahsoka to not to take part in the mission, however, after he and the strike team were frozen, she told Admiral Wullf Yularen into believing that Skywalker had decided to let her praticapate and froze her. As R2-D2 piloted the frozen teams shuttle on world, a Separatist commander noticed an irregularity and ordered the ship to be fired upon. Artoo had the carbonite slabs strewn from the ship, and moments before it was destroyed, escaped it himself. Artoo freed Ahsoka from her carbonite slab, who in turn freed the rest of the strike team; her Master being less than impressed to discover that she had disobeyed his commands which she often does. While the team located the Separatist shipyards, they were unable to contact Republic ships, due to the Separatists having jammed all communications. However, Ahsoka noticed a communications tower near by and after fighting their way in, the team contacted Master Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin's fleets. Unfortunately, the overseer of the shipyards, Juhm, noticed the unauthorized transmission and attempted to destroy the communication tower, though the team escaped and split up. B2 super battle droids equipped with jetpacks trailed Ahsoka and her fraction of the strike team into a cave, where she was forced to kill a reptilian carnivore. Kenobi and Skywalker soon learned that the Separatists were using organic slaves to build warships; quite surprising due to it being far less productive than the use of droids. Later, the remnants of the strike team, Ahsoka, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Rex, are captured. Skywalker and Ahsoka came to an agreement to trust each other and the group then proceeded to escape. The Separatist slaves revolted and joined the Jedi strike team. However, upon the arrival of the Republic forces, and the destruction of half of the shipyards, the escape craft of the Jedi and slaves was nearly destroyed by friendly fire; though after communicating with the fleets, the situation was resolved. The freed Separatist slaves were made Republic citizens and then began the work of building warships for the Republic.
Battle of Kiros[]
On Kiros, a Togruta colony world under the control of the Separatists, Ahsoka was apprehensive due to the horrors faced by her people. While Obi-Wan "negotiated" with Commander Ugg, the Master-Padawan team of Anakin and Ahsoka destroyed all the bombs around the city, except the one near Ugg's ship. Afterwards, they discovered that the planet's population had disappeared. Meanwhile, Ugg's computers indicated that he was talking to someone in the Zygerrian system, a system of slave traders. After making contact with Grand Master Yoda, the Jedi were informed by the renowened Master, that Dooku had begun to spread rumors about the Republic destroying the population of Kiros. When told about the Zygerrians, Yoda recounted how the Jedi crushed their empire on the orders of the Republic. Anakin ordered everybody to get ready and for the ship to jump to the Zygerrian system while Obi-Wan informed Ahsoka about how Anakin was once a slave, causing this mission to effect him some what. Aboard the Twilight, the duo hid in an asteroid field, which is all that remained of the homeworld of the Shi'Kar after it was struck by a comet. Smugglers, scavengers and pirates used it as a haven as Republic cruisers were unable to maneuver safely through the asteroid field. The Jedi and the Zygerrian's engaged in combat, although they were soon forced back and Ahsoka was captured by the captain of the Zygerrian slave ship. The captain used Ahsoka's comlink to try and strike a deal but Anakin, Obi-Wan and Rex were already in space-suits and mounting a rescue mission. Once aboard, the small group took the Zygerrian's captive and discovered that the Zygerrian Queen planed to auction off the captured Togrutas in an attempt to bring the Zygerrians back to prominence. As such, the Jedi formulated a plan to use Ahsoka as merchandise and thwart the Queen's plans.
The Malevolence[]
When Master Plo Koon was tasked with finding a rumored super weapon. He traced it to the Abregado system and contacted Anakin and Ahsoka. When the connection broke up because of Grievous' jammed his transmissions, Ahsoka and Anakin reported to the Jedi Council and The Supreme Chancellor that he had contacted them and his fleet may have been destroyed. Ahsoka suggested a search party but the idea was dismissed. As soon as the transmission was cut off Admiral Wulff came in and asked about their strategy. Anakin said he and Ahsoka would scout for enemy ships. At first Ahsoka didn't know what their destination was and ordered Artoo to look for any "Mystery Wepeaons" but Anakin said to look for life forms at the highest sensitivity Ahsoka finally realizing that they had come to find Plo Koon began to grow happy. Anakin then asked Ahsoka how she had met up with Master Plo Koon, Ahsoka said she had been discovered by Plo Koon on Shili and had brought her to the Temple where she belongs and she hoped that she coulds bring Master Plo back to the temple to. Then Obi-wan via hologram asked where they were and they should report back to there fleet. Anakin apolgizes to Ashoka that they cannot find Plo but as soon as they begin to leave Artoo detects something on his scanner they halt their plans to leave until Chancellor Palpitine came up on the Hologram and said the council was furious and they should report back to their post immediately. But Ahsoka felt Plo through the force and turned the ship in their direction and picked them up. Then they ran into the mystery weapon that nearly killed Koon. He told them that the weapon had an ion cannon that neutralized the communication, weapons, and beacons. They turned off everything except the medical droid they forgot to turn off and immediately turned on everything and escaped the ion cannon. As soon as Anakin, Ahsoka, and Plo Koon returned to the fleet Anakin devised a plan to destroy the Malovolence and Grievous with it. He personally selected the Shadow Squadron and soon learned the Malovolence was going to attack a medical space station he used a "short cut" called the Balmorra Run and navigated through a nest of Neebray manta while a little damage was done to Shadow eleven everyone else was fine and they quickly found the Malevolence and the Space Station. They quickly chraged straight at the space ship as it fired it's ion cannon. Three ships were caught in the blast. As they made the run down to the command tower two more ships were shot down. Plo Koon and Ahsoka realized that they couldn't make and toled Anakin to abort. But as Anakin began to turn Plo Koon said to fire at the ion cannons so that it would overload and destroy the ship. Realizing the ship couldn't take more damage Grievous retreated but his hyperdrive was damaged so he had to retreat in normal space. Later in the medical space station Anakin realized what lives he had cost and had a short conversation with Nala Se. After Anakin left Nala Se said Ahsoka has a very special master, Ahsoka agreed. Shortly after Ahsoka was aboard one of the ships that was pursuing the Malevolence Anakin, Obi-wan, and Artoo-Detoo went onto the ship to save the captured Senator Amidala while Ahsoka stayed on the ship.
Capture of Viceroy Nute Gunray[]
After Padme Amidala captured Nute Gunray, Ahsoka and Luminara were charged for escorting him to coruscant to stand trial for his war crimes. While Luminara tried to interigate Gunray Ahsoka got impatient and tried to threaten the answers out of Gunray. However Luminara told Ahsoka that it wasn't the Jedi way. Ahsoka told her that she wasn't serious. Then some droids boarded the ship along with Ventress and Luminara engaged her in a duel later Ahsoka came and force pushed Ventress away from Luminara. Luminara thanked her and then was told that Gunray escaped. She then remembered that he had escaped in a republic ship that could be tracked. They alerted Kit Fisto and told him to hunt Gunray down.
Battle of Vanqor[]
When Ahsoka's master, Anakin, went to locate Count Dooku, he and Obi-Wan Kenobi contacted Ahsoka to command the Resolute to destroy the fleet Dooku had with him. Later, the two Jedi were trapped in a cave on Vanqor, Ahsoka rescued them by opening the cave to let them out, and then again by ordering her clones to reseal the cave as a Gundark advanced on them from within.
Anakin's revival[]
The Resolute later assisted Jedi Knight Aayla Secura's cruiser, which was being heavily attacked by three Separatist Munificent frigates. Ahsoka, her master and a platoon went to assist on LAAT/i gunships. Her master used the jump droids as stepping stones to get inside Aayla's ship, while Ahsoka and the troops got in when their gunship was shot down and penetrated the hull of the destroyer. Since the cruiser had sustained extensive damage, they had no choice but to escape its imminent destruction by using a docked Consular ship. On their way, they saw an explosive blast approaching them, so Anakin used a Force push to through the others ahead while he held off the blast by closing blast doors with the Force. After the blast dissipated, Ahsoka managed to haul an unconscious Anakin out of the wreckage and brought him inside the ship. But before they could dock with the Resolute to give him medical attention, blasts knock out the pilot, accidentally engaging the hyperdrive. Ahsoka piloted the ship as the Resolute withdrew, and upon entering hyperspace, they quickly realized that the navicomputer was not correctly set before the hyperdrive was activated, sending them on course for a nearby star. Aayla ordered all the power systems to be shut down to reset the navicomputer. Ahsoka protested that it would include shutting down life support for Anakin, however was convinced by Aayla that they otherwise would not survive. After shutting down and restarting the ship's systems, Ahsoka managed to slingshot the ship around the star, but after the stress the ship endured and the rate of speed at which they were going, they were on a collision course with a nearby planet. Ahsoka successfully kept all of the occupants alive with her maneuvers, despite the damage the ship sustained from the crash landing, garnering praise for her piloting skills from Secura. Once they settled camp, they had to find help for Anakin and found proof of sentient life in the form a tablet with a carving of a tree on it. Ahsoka volunteered to stay behind, however, Aayla explained to her that the two of them had to work together. Rex reassured Ahsoka that he would stand guard over Anakin, while the others went to search for help. While she was with Aayla, Ahsoka learned from the Twilek master the Jedi Code of having no personal attachments. After losing three clone troopers to indigenous animals, they found a village of Lurmen, who had settled on the planet to escape the war. Though they were adamant in not participating in the Republic's conflict with the Separatists, they did agree to give Anakin medical attention. One of the Lurmen, Wag Too accompanied Ahsoka and Bly, to go retrieve Skywalker. They arrived at the camp in time to save Anakin and Rex from aggressive mastif phalones. After bringing Anakin back to the village for Wag Too to treat, Ahsoka admitted to Aayla that if she had stayed with her master, then they would have never found this village. After Anakin healed of his injuries, he and Ahsoka strove to get the pacifist Lurmen race to defend themselves against the Separatists and join the Repulblic. During the battle, the droids destroyed the forcefield protecting the Lurmen camp, so Wag Too and a group of Lurmen joined the fight, despite Tee Watt Kaa's protests that they do not engage in any form of battle. The Lurmen used rope and other items to knock over droids, passing between them with their speed and agility and leaving them on the ground for Ahsoka and Anakin to finish off. When the battle was over, Wag Too gave the Jedi his thanks.
Battle Over Ryloth[]
While the Republic was busy with battling the Separatists, Ahsoka devised a plan to defeat them. However, while carrying it out, she instead damaged half of her battle group. Meanwhile the Republic rushes to the aid of the planet Ryloth in response to intelligence that Separatist forces took control of the Twi'lek homeworld.
Ahsoka also confronted the bounty hunter Cad Bane with her master. While at Ryloth, she also led Blue Squadron as Blue Leader.
Trials[]
Trial of Skill[]
Ahsoka faced a trial of Skill when she met face to face with Asajj Ventress on the planet of Falleen. They had a long dangerous duel through the citytops. Eventually Ventress jumped onto a passing speeder Ahsoka pursued with another. Ahsoka got unto Ventress' speeder and forced it down to crash in an explosive factory leaving Ventress for the dead.
Trial of the Flesh[]
After being captured by General Grievous she was interrogated, sustaining several lethal injuries and later escaped and passed the Trial of the Flesh.
Trial of Courage[]
Ahsoka encountered Darth Tyranus and nearly killed him in a lightsaber duel but she stopped herself at the last second. Dooku escaped by jumping off the cliff and a gunship picked up Ahsoka.
Trial of Spirit[]
Near the Battle of Kamino Anakin led Ahsoka to a planet on an uncharted planet where she saw here destiny to turn to the dark side along with Anakin. She evantually destroyed the illusion which came true for Galen Marek.
Missing in Action[]
The Republic learned that the Confederacy were going to attack the cloning facilities on Kamino. The Republic sent a defense force to Kamino to halt them. The defense force was led by Obi-wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano. Captain Rex and Commander Cody also tagged along. They were shot down in the Twilight and crash landed in the Kamino ocean. They all managed to escape but as soon as they got inside the building General Grievous and Asajj Ventress were slaughtering the Clones. Rex charged to save the clone's life but sacrificed his life to save them. Ahsoka told Cody to look for cover and the three Jedi engaged the General and Assassin. While Ahsoka was fighting two of Grievous' arms He activated his third and fourth arms. A ship swooped by and picked up the General and Asassin who were dueling Obi-wan and Anikan. However no body was found, to escape she jumped into the water and went into a hibernation like state.
Rebel[]
Two years later Ahsoka woke up in a Kamino emergency room, she was told that she was barely saved by Kamino scuba droids. She was informed that a week ago they sent clone troopers to Coruscant to attack the Empire, however they were defeated and the Empire was going to attack Kamino. Ahsoka boarded a Gunship but was almost shot down until jumping onto a TIE fighter and taking control of it. She escaped and landed on Tatooine, learning much more about the Empire and that Anakin was Darth Vader, the second in command of the Empire. She gathered many pirates, smugglers, spacers, bounty hunters, and assassins, and in the fifth year of the Reign of the Empire, Ahsoka launched an attack on Bespin. The attack went wonderfully, The Empire was caught totally off guard and the air forces of the Empire were diminished, and the ground forces of the Empire were destroyed. Over the next few years the Empire combated Ahsoka's rebellion until Galen Marek, the secret apprentice of Darth Vader, defeated them in a space battle. While Galen Marek boarded the capital ship, the rebellion fought the Imperial forces in space. Galen killed her after a feroucious lightsaber duel. However before Galen struck her down the ship starte to crash land onto a nearby astroid Galen jumped onto the Rogue Shadow before striking Ahsoka down. Ahsoka took an escape pod and flew into the Asteroid field staying in a hibernation state and meditating. After Galen became an enemy of the Empire he salvaged the old escape pod from the asteroid field. Galen asked Ahsoka to train him and she accepted.
Master[]
Starkiller and the group went to Felucia to track down the Alderaanian senator. Once they reached the planet, Starkiller saw a difference in the world now devoid of Shaak Ti's influence. The planet seemed even more hostile than during his first visit, with the native Felucians corrupted by the dark side, and even the plants attempting to kill him. In addition Imperial troops were clashing with the natives throughout the jungle, forcing Starkiller to fight against both sides to continue. After searching the familiar sites of his previous visit in vain, he followed a dark side Force-signature he detected along another treacherous journey which led him through the gullet of the Sarlacc before being ejected into a rancor graveyard where he found the imprisoned Senator Organa. Maris Brood, Shaak Ti's apprentice, had turned to the dark side, in step with the rest of the planet, and was holding Bail prisoner in hopes of trading the Senator for lenience from Vader. After slaying her pet Bull Rancor, Starkiller quickly subdued and defeated Maris Brood. She begged for mercy saying that when Shaak Ti was killed, the planet and all its inhabitants were corrupted. Starkiller let her go despite the protests of the rescued Bail Organa and she disappeared with a wink into the jungle. During the journey back to Raxus Prime, Starkiller contemplated his new found origins along with his destiny. Ruminating over his identity, he replaced one of the green crystals of Kota's lightsaber with the blue crystal he had found on Kashyyyk, changing the saber's hue from green to aqua, and making it his own.
On Raxus Prime, Starkiller fought his way through the local Imperial troops as well as a trap set by Drexl Roosh and reached an ore cannon that was being used to launch metallic refuse into space for use by the Imperial shipyard. Starkiller reprogrammed the cannon to fire directly at the shipyard instead, utterly obliterating the facility. Unfortunately for Starkiller, it also damaged a nearly completed Star Destroyer causing it to give in to the planet's gravity. As it careened out of orbit and closed in on Starkiller, Kota told him to use the Force to crash it into the ore cannon. Starkiller succeeded, incredibly surviving the crash and the ensuing destruction. Meanwhile, unfortunately for the crew of the Rogue Shadow, Raxus Prime's core, a super intelligent computer, had corrupted PROXY while the droid had been slicing into it. PROXY knocked out Juno, locked the ship's launch codes and took off for the core's mainframe. Upon contacting the ship and learning what had transpired, Starkiller vigilantly pursued his friend. After a fierce duel with innumerable droids, the Core, and PROXY in the guise of Darth Maul, Starkiller successfully defeated the core and recovered the droid. However, PROXY insisted Starkiller leave him behind as the core had deleted his primary programming. Starkiller refused to leave his childhood friend behind and brought him back to the Rogue Shadow.
In order to build the Rebellion further, Kota directed Starkiller to Cloud City in search of another powerful ally, Senator Garm Bel Iblis. With his military resources, along with Bail Organa's financial resources, there would be sufficient support for the creation of the desired resistance against the Galactic Empire's rule. However, upon reaching the Cloud City, Starkiller discovered that Bel Iblis was captured by a criminal, Chop'aa Notimo. Fighting his way through bounty hunters and mercenaries, he reached Notimo and defeated and killed him. He freed Garm, who told Starkiller that he would join the Rebellion. Bail told the group that there had been talks of rebellion among other senators, but no one had begun anything because they needed to be shown that the Empire was weak and vulnerable. Starkiller said he would meditate on a target to attack to rally the needed support.
In reality, aboard the Rogue Shadow, he communicated with Darth Vader through PROXY. Vader directed him to attack an Imperial shipyard above Raxus Prime. Juno inadvertently walked in on the transmission, and immediately after it ended she confronted Starkiller about it. She challenged him, demanding he make a decision over whether he would continue as Vader's slave or actually help them with the pending rebellion. This encounter with her led him to some serious introspection, not unlike the ways of a Jedi. The destruction of the shipyard worked to prove to Senators Iblis and Mon Mothma that the Empire could be defeated. Bail Organa and the other senators met with Starkiller and Rahm Kota at an ancient monastery in the mountains of Corellia to officially create the Alliance. While Bail's expansive wealth would fund the rebellion, Garm Bel Iblis would provide their starships while Mon Mothma would support their soldiers. Bail also stated, with much dignified veneration, that with Galen as the rebellion's leader, "We will have the power of The Force on our side." Unfortunately, Lord Vader and Imperial stormtroopers attacked their gathering, quickly dispatching the Senators' bodyguards. Kota grabbed Starkiller's lightsaber and attempted to stop Vader, but was easily defeated by Vader's use of Force Choke. Vader revealed to all present that the alliance and gathering was a ploy and ordered Kota and the Senators to be brought to the Death Star for personal execution. Starkiller questioned the Dark Lord on why he was there, and Darth Vader revealed that this gathering had been a plot created by the Emperor himself to gather all of his enemies and capture them in one swift stroke. Vader then told Starkiller that he never planned on killing Palpatine with Starkiller and hurled a heavy table at him, knocking him out of the building and over the side of a cliff. As Vader prepared to finish his former apprentice, PROXY, guised as Obi-Wan Kenobi, appeared and attacked him. The two dueled, but Vader easily dispatched PROXY in his attempt to try and save Starkiller. When Vader turned back to the cliff's edge, Starkiller was gone.
After the Imperials left, Juno searched for Starkiller, found that he had miraculously survived the fall and brought him on board the Rogue Shadow. She asked, if Vader never planned to kill Palpatine with Starkiller, why he let them destroy Imperial targets. Then the truth suddenly hit Starkiller that everything was set in order to sell the deception, that all, including himself, had been disposable tools for Vader to accomplish his own ends and those of his master. When Juno inquired about their next destination, Starkiller replied, "We're going after Vader…and the rebels." Starkiller ceased to exist; Galen Marek was reformed, the makings of a Jedi, like his father before him. Galen meditated to find his former master's location and, finally achieving the power of foresight, discovered the Death Star I under construction in the Horuz system. After Juno expertly piloted the Rogue Shadow, utilizing the cloaking system to get close enough to board, Galen bid Juno farewell, both knowing they would probably never meet again. The two embraced, and Juno left him with a passionate kiss. He then leaped from the gangway and fell down a long tunnel into the station.
Galen slaughtered all Imperials who crossed his path, desperately focused on reaching the Emperor, even inciting a revolt by freeing Wookiee slaves, who then guided him in the right direction. Palpatine sensed his presence and sent Darth Vader to pursue him, not more than a hundred meters from Palpatine and the Rebels. Galen engaged Darth Vader in a massive lightsaber duel, confronting Vader between blows about the truth of his past. He came to the conclusion that it was Palpatine pulling the strings all along; that he ordered the death of his father, that he ordered Galen to be raised in darkness, by Vader, a slave to the emperor's will. The duel ended with Galen using the Force to throw columns, support beams, and anything he could find at Vader. After defeating his former master, leaving him near death, Galen felt strong impressions of destroying Vader, and eventually also of serving Palpatine as the emperor's new apprentice. Palpatine telekinetically summoned Galen to strike down Darth Vader, and take the Dark Lord's place. Sensing Palpatine's tactic, Kota defiantly used the Force to snatch Palpatine's lightsaber, dispatched the Imperial Guards who held him and the other rebels prisoner, and then assaulted the Emperor. Palpatine, turning to bear down on Kota, began electrocuting him with Sith lightning. Galen struggled internally for a moment, but, deciding to protect his friend and mentor, intervened at last. Using the Force, Galen hurled bits of broken transparisteel and debris at the Emperor, who was forced to break off his attack. Palpatine abruptly dropped to his knees, and begged Galen to kill him. As Galen approached Palpatine to finish him, the Emperor goaded him to give in to his hatred and pursue his Sith destiny by destroying him. With Kota's urging, however, Galen resisted the seduction back to the Sith way and spared the Emperor's life.
As Galen turned to leave, Palpatine leapt to his feet and again attacked Kota with Sith lightning for speaking out. Galen, in response, dove in front of his friend and deflected what he could. The Emperor's lightning was so intense it felt like a "star igniting" within Marek's chest. Meanwhile, Darth Vader returned to the battle leading a squadron of stormtroopers. With lightning illuminating the entire room, Galen, seeing his friends in trouble, opened his body to the Force and released everything he had within him. This resulted in an explosive blast that shredded the stormtroopers and all but destroyed the Emperor's tower, allowing Juno, Kota, and the Senators to escape aboard the Rogue Shadow. The explosion combined with Palpatine's Sith lightning culminated in the end of Galen's life. Despite his heroic sacrifice, it failed to kill Palpatine, who emerged from the explosion relatively unharmed, along with Vader, crippled in his battle-torn armor. Despite this, Galen had thwarted the Emperor's plans and died a hero. Palpatine was far from pleased with the results of the battle. Not only was he robbed of an extremely powerful new apprentice and still burdened with the diminished Vader, but the prisoners had escaped and the two Sith Lords had inadvertently created a rebellion. Sidious correctly foresaw that if the rebels were not quickly and decisively dealt with they could pose a grave threat to his rule.
The duel also had another outcome in that it drove a further wedge between the Dark Lords. Vader realized that Sidious desired a new apprentice, and as a result he determined to find a powerful Force sensitive to help him overthrow his master in earnest. Galen Marek's death inspired the Rebels to finish what he began: a full scale revolution against the Empire. Juno and Bail recovered PROXY from the snow on Corellia who then revealed that Galen told him that if anything happened to him, PROXY was to be in the charge of Juno. Immediately after recovering PROXY, they along with the other founders of the rebellion met on Kashyyyk. Princess Leia proposed that the Rebels use the Marek family crest as a symbol of hope to rally behind, with which all agreed. Juno asked Kota if he knew that the man who created the alliance was the same one who tried to kill him less than a year earlier. Kota revealed that he had always known, and still agreed to help, because he glimpsed in his pupil's mind one bright thing that he held on to.
Galactic Civil War[]
After Galen died Ahsoka joined the Rebel Alliance recruiting thousands of members. She battled on the Tantive IV narrowly escaping in an escape pod, landing on the Rebel Alliance base on the fourth moon of Yavin. She monitored the battle of Yavin from the base and helped the rebellion eveacuate the base during the skirmishes on Yavin. Escaping to Hoth, she battled in the Battle of Hoth taking down numerous walkers during the Battle. She helped fight in most all battles of the war and was in the Calamarian Space Cruiser during the Battle of Endor. After the Battle of Endor, Ahsoka knocked out the shields on Coruscant allowing the Rebels to land. During the Battle of Bilbringi, Ahsoka landed on the same ship as Thrawn was on and killed half the crew and escaped. When Palpitine was resurrected, Ahsoka engaged him in a lightsaber duel before he left to the planet's surface to find the newly born Anakin. Ahsoka was also present at the Battle of the Jedi Praxeum and had just enrolled. Ahsoka was tasked with protecting the younger students she nearly failed her mission when a Stormtrooper threatened to kill a six year old student. Ahsoka regretfully force choked the Stormtrooper to death.
Yuuzahn Vong War[]
After the Galactic Civil War, Ahsoka became the Senator of Shili. Learning that Shili was captured by the Vong, Ahsoka returned to the planet and went on a one man mission to the planet to free it. The mission was a success she placed bombs inside the organic base destroying. She later became a senator in the Galactic Alliance.
Personality and traits[]
While Ahsoka demonstrated moderate behavioral traits, she was also plagued by several more aggressive tendencies, some stemming from her Togrutan predator nature.Star Wars: The Clone Wars (novel) When in combat, she displayed an extreme determination to win at all costs. Similar to her master's disposition, she would also occasionally sulk when things didn't go her way. She often talked down to others in battle, behaving as if she was superior to them, mirroring the attitude of her master. This extended to her behavior towards enemies, as she often came up with degrading pet names for them, such as referring to the IG-100 MagnaGuards as 'stick-tinnies'.
In accordance with her predatory Togrutan nature, she was known to be quite aggressive in her postures and actions; willing to use terror and threats as a means to get information. Even though Tano obviously did not intend to follow through with any of these threats, her behavior caused concern on the part of the venerable Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, who felt Ahsoka's actions were not in accordance with the Jedi way.
Ahsoka Tano absolutely adored being with her master and was proud of her position as his apprentice, though Anakin did not realize this. Ahsoka immediately adopted a very informal attitude with Anakin, nicknaming him "Skyguy". Because of her feisty personality, Anakin began to refer to her as "Snips".
Powers and Abilities[]
Lightsaber Training[]
Though Ahsoka was a Padawan, she was quite skilled for a being of her age. She made use of an unorthodox Shien grip during combat; though, she was known to utilize a more standard grip at the insistence of her master. Her technique consisted of rapid switches and feints, darting from one side of the battle ground to the other to exhaust her opponent.Star Wars: The Clone Wars (novel) Ahsoka's combat skills were clearly quite considerable, as she was able to fight against and at least temporarily hold her ground against the likes of Asajj Ventress and General Grevious.
Force Ability[]
Ahsoka possessed a strong connection to the Force, and often used it to perform the Force jump power and similar acrobatic feats. Although Ahsoka's Force powers required more training, she was capable of performing extensive telekinesis feats, as seen during the Battle of Christophsis and her duel against Ventress on the Tranquility; in particular, she seemed well versed in the application of the Force push power, which she used to save the life of Luminara Unduli.
Other Abilities[]
