Biography[]
Cal Kestis was born in 32 BBY and brought into the Jedi Order at an early age. In 22 BBY, he was taken on as an apprentice by Jedi Master Jaro Tapal and fought in the early battles of the Clone Wars. During the conflict, he and his master commanded the 13th Battalion,[1] a unit in the 12th Sector Army.[2]
In 19 BBY, Kestis and Master Tapal were sent with the 13th Battalion to secure control of Bracca after it had been invaded by Separatists forces. After the battle, they were about to set out for Mygeeto to provide reinforcements when Darth Sidious issued Order 66 to all clone troopers. While Tapal managed to hold off against the troopers long enough for him and Kestis to make it to the escape pods, he ultimately succumbed to his wounds and Kestis was left on his own as he escaped to Bracca. Forced to hide his nature as a Jedi, Kestis took up the life of a scrapper.[1]
