Personality: Headstrong, proud, ready to leap to the defense of the little guy in a heartbeat, Eileen is extremely loyal to the Jedi Order. She is a trusted comrade to many knights and a new equal to the Masters. Often appears arrogant though this belies her wisdom that goes beyond her years. She often looks for the positive side of things, and believes most everyone can be redeemed. She strongly believes in the principle upon which the Jedi Order was founded, and will not kill unless she has to (and in fact has only killed twice in her career so far). She is eager to earn a place on the High Council. She understands that everyone has a duty to do, and respects the wisdom of her elders. She is very idealistic and trusting, but far from naive. She is a strong example of a user of Form "Zero". She strongly believes in the Living Force

Faction: Jedi Order
Rank: Jedi Master - Consular
Bio:
Eileen was born to a normal Miraluka couple on the Miraluka home-planet, Alpheridies, in the small village of Kilnaas. For five years Eileen grew up in her family, a happy and seemingly normal child. Her family was not rich, but Eileen was provided for, and never went hungry. Her parents encouraged her curiosity and her dreams, though inside they were sad that they weren't able to give her as much as other parents could give their own children.
One day a Jedi was passing through their village on a mission to another village to investigate a potential lost Holocron. While there, the Jedi master felt the potential of the child when he saw her with her mother walking through town. He felt that the Force was stronger in her than it was with the other Miraluka of the village. Taking note of where the girl lived, he continued on his mission, recovered the Holocron and returned to the village. He approached the parents, explaining who he was and why he was there. He asked them if they would let him take her to the temple to be trained. While hesitant to give their daughter away, they realized that this would be the best opportunity for their girl. She would be given a chance to grow and do great things that they weren't able to do for her. They asked the Jedi to give them a day to talk to their daughter first, saying that in the end, the choice would be hers, as it should be. The Jedi understood and left, staying at a local inn for the night while he contacted the Order and told them about his mission and his discovery.
That night they talked to their young daughter, and explained the opportunity she had. They told her of how they loved her and wanted her to be happy. They also told her of how they wanted her to have the best life possible to do great things for the galaxy. They made sure she understood that if she wanted to go become a Jedi, that it was alright and they would always love her and know that they would be proud of the great Jedi should would become. That night they slept with their daughter in the same bed, giving their precious daughter the whole night to think it over.
The next morning when the Jedi arrived back to see their answer, the parents did not speak. Eileen walked up to the Jedi and gazed upon him for a long time with her Force Sight. She saw all of what it meant to be a Jedi in this man, all of the power, the wisdom, but most importantly, she saw the compassion and love inherent in the Jedi way. She saw that her destiny did indeed lay with the Jedi. After saying yes, she shared one long hug with her parents before departing, all three once again stating their eternal love for each other and wishing each other well before Eileen left, happy, and more ready for her destiny than any other child could have possibly been.
Eileen would be brought to the Culu Memorial Center on the other side of the planet. The Jedi Master, Hal I'Kal, brought her to the Jedi in charge of initiates. A standard test showed that she had a sufficient potential in the Force to be trained. After making sure Eileen was comfortable, he said goodbye and left for the Temple on Coruscant to see the High Council about his mission and the Holocron he found.
Eileen quickly found herself making friends with the other members of her clan, the group of younglings that would be together for their years as initiates. Of her group of 11, Eileen was the second oldest, and was the one who suggested what would become their clan's name, the Aurora clan. As the clan would grow up, Eileen would be a most dedicated student, earnestly studying Jedi principles. She loved their classes where they learned the basic aspects of the Force. She found the classes on telekinesis the most fun. She was a natural at manipulating the small toy blocks into whatever the their teacher requested. Often finishing first, should would help the other younglings understand what they needed to do. She was a natural teacher's assistant and user of the Force.
But where Eileen was happiest during her training was during meditations. She loved the peaceful feeling she felt when she quieted her mind and listened to the Force.
At first Eileen had a lot of trouble during Lightsaber training, the only thing she had trouble with. She could remember the moves and forms, and was able to go through the motions, but found herself unable to be aggressive. In their gentle sparring classes when they were older, she was unable to attack. She would freeze up, loosing every match. When talking with her teacher during meditations, she would explain how she wants to be a protector, a wise helper of those in need, but she can't stand the idea of hurting others. Her teacher explained to her one of the core principles of Shii-Cho, that is to win without inflicting injury, mainly through moves like sun djem, the act of destroying an opponent's weapon. After she learned the tactic, she quickly flourished in Lightsaber training, soon racking up a winning streak, every win through Shii-Cho's focus on sun djem. She decided then that her philosophy in combat as a Jedi would always be victory without injury when possible. Her adamant beliefs would be the reason her Master would pick her as his Padawan.
A Twi'lek named Ooli Ayanda, who had recently become a Master after her last apprentice passed her trials, had spent the past year, watching the Younglings for her next apprentice, had found her eyes watching Eileen, especially during Lightsaber training. Having watched her training closely during her twelfth year of life, Ooli had found herself admiring how Eileen embraced the Jedi principles at such a young age through her relatively skilled use of Shii-Cho. She saw in the girl herself when she was a Youngling, adamant about spreading peace to the Galaxy.
Just after Eileen's 12th birthday, Eileen met Ooli for the first time and was told that she would be her master. That day the two would spend many hours happily talking, getting to know each other. They immediately knew they would be great together. Over the next couple of days she said goodbye to her friends and teacher as she got ready to start her training with her new Master. Eileen would spend one whole day doing the traditional meditation before heading off with her new Master.
Like her Master did before her, and like she did with her first apprentice, the first thing Ooli did with Eileen was have Eileen construct her own Lightsaber. Over the next year, Ooli taught Eileen everything she needed to know about the parts of a Lightsaber, about what the Lightsaber means to a Jedi, and how deep the constructing of a Jedi's Lightsaber is. By Eileen's 13th birthday, she had successfully made her own Lightsaber which was a simple, single phase saber with an orange blade. Eileen's pride was shared by Ooli, for they both agreed, it was a fine Lightsaber indeed.
Ooli had made sure to keep Eileen training in her Lightsaber skills as well as Force application. By the time her Lightsaber was finished Eileen was proficient Shii-Cho and Eileen had taken her first steps in learning Soresu. With her new Lightsaber in hand, the two went on their first mission together as Master and Apprentice.
Mediating a peace treaty
Their first mission together was typical of most Jedi. Two clans on a nearby planet had requested the Order send a Jedi to mediate a peace treaty to end a hundred year long war. Ooli had offered herself and her apprentice to attend. At the peace meeting, Eileen was the perfect apprentice. She didn't speak, she just watched as her Master mediated. Whenever it seemed that one side was going to find some problem with the Treaty, Master Ooli would eloquently point out a way to resolve it, making sure everyone was happy. Eileen was in awe of the way Ooli stayed calm and smiling the whole meeting, doing exactly what Eileen dreamed of doing when she grew up. By the end of the meeting in just a day, both leaders were happily toasting to the new peace treaty, and to the prosperity they would share for years to come. As they returned to the temple on Alpheridies, Master and Apprentice spoke together on the purposes of the Jedi, the best ways to bring about peace, and the ways of the Diplomat. By the time they returned, Eileen knew that she had the best teacher possible for her, and that she would follow the path of the Diplomat, brokering peace all across the Galaxy.
Being too young to take on any really dangerous mission, for the first four years of her apprenticeship Ooli and Eileen only took on diplomatic missions, mediating peace treaties, being witnesses to legal events, providing Jedi wisdom to solve tense situations. Around the second year of training with Ooli, the two were moved to the Temple on Coruscant in the Core Worlds. For months Eileen would be very uncomfortable during their missions in the core Worlds, as she saw significantly less non-humans there. Eventually though she would get used to it. A couple months after Eileen's 16th birthday, Ooli decided that Eileen needed to experience the dangers of the Jedi. Not wanting Eileen to be in explicit danger though, they started small. Their first danger possible mission was to help with a local investigation into a gang that was terrorizing the local populace. During the course of the mission which took several weeks, Eileen would show her skill in deductive reasoning, using various signs with guidance and encouragement from her master to deduce where the location of the gang's hideout. The two would help in the raid on the place, Eileen showing exemplary skill in disarming and apprehending several of the thugs without harming them. By this point Eileen was proficient in her favored styles of Shii-Cho and Soresu. Eileen was made an honorary deputy of that law enforcement group for her help and skill.
By 17 Eileen was being taught advanced maneuvers for both Shii-Cho and Soresu and was capable of defending against and disarming entire gangs of petty thugs at once, though through daily recitation of the Jedi code, Eileen tried to stay as humble as she could. She had shown a particular aptitude for both the telekinetic and the sensing aspects of the Force, so Eileen and her Master often practiced applications of telekinesis both in and out of combat. Everyday they would meditate, honing their awareness of the Force. Sometimes Eileen would get visions of the future, though at this point they were still blurry and rarely relevant. Only once during her Padawan years did she have a vision clear enough to be of use, as the vision was of her pulling a stranger out of the way of a falling object, which would come true just a week after the vision. Realizing that Eileen's true strength lay in the Force, Master Ooli would focus more on developing Eileen's sensitivity to the Force than Lightsaber combat or battle tactics. They would often study history, learning of great acts of diplomacy and entire wars averted because of a peaceful word at the right time.
By the time Eileen turned 21, Master Ooli would often tell Eileen that she was getting close to being ready for the Trials. Eileen felt more than confident about her abilities, stating that her Lightsaber skill, Force abilities, and strength of mind would carry her through the Trials with ease.
A week before her 22 birthday, Eileen would face the most important mission of her Padawan years. After returning from another successful diplomatic meeting averting a small war, Master Ooli was told that a Padawan had fallen to the Dark Side and killed his master. The Padawan had been a friend of Eileen when they were Younglings and therefore, also 21 years old, and the Council hoped that Eileen may be able to bring him back to the Light through their Friendship. Another Master and Apprentice were asked to help, in case the Padawan refused to come back to the Light. Over the next week of following Padawan Erik Dracon's trail, Eileen would grow very close to the other Padawan, Zhi-Kon Arthen, quickly becoming best friends. Since the Masters were too focused on finding Erik, and the two Padawan's were unable to really help, the two would celebrate Eileen's birthday in the Cargo area without the Masters. Zhi-Kon gave Eileen a bracelet he made as his present for her birthday. He said it would bring her luck during her Trials, since she was finally of age to take them. Eileen absolutely loved it.
Eventually the fun would come to an end, when the Masters tracked Erik to Talravin. Erik, alone and afraid, kept running from the Jedi whenever they caught up to him. They spent a month running around the planet trying to catch him. Zhi-Kon would be the first to catch up with Erik. While trying to calm Erik down and explain that he could still come back, Eileen walked into the room they were in. Panicking, thinking that Zhi-Kon had lied to him, the frightened Padawan blasted the distracted Zhi-Kon with Force Lighting before running away. Eileen, ignoring the fleeing Erik, tried her best to heal Zhi-Kon's wounds, but the Lighting had hit his heart, an organ too complex for Eileen's meager skills to heal. As he lay dieing in Eileen's arms, Zhi-Kon told Eileen to stay strong, to find Erik and bring him back to the Light. In his final moments the two admitted that a forbidden love had been blossoming between them, and they shared one kiss before he died. When the Masters arrived they found Eileen kneeling next to Zhi-Kon's body. He had been propped up, making him look like he was just taking a nap except for the burn on his clothes. Ooli sensed how strongly the loss was affecting Eileen, and though Ooli kindly offered to let Eileen leave the mission, Eileen refused, saying that she promised Zhi-Kon that she would bring Erik back. Over the next week Eileen would pursue Erik with a calm vigor, eventually catching up to him well ahead of the two Masters. Erik, remembering that he had caused Eileen such pain a week ago, feared for his life from what he thought was a vengeful Jedi. Erik tried everything he could, Lighting, telekinesis, and eventually Lightsaber combat, but he could not stop Eileen's approach. Using Soresu to get up close and sun djem to disarm Erik, Erik began to beg for his life. To his surprise, Eileen hugged him, holding him tightly as she begged Erik to give himself up, to come back to the Light, so that Zhi-Kon's death would not have been a waste. In that moment, feeling the Light and warmth that shone out of Eileen's heart, Erik fear disappeared. He gave himself up, and returned to the Order for his punishment. It turned out that the reason Erik had killed his Master was because he had Fallen to the Dark Side first, and had corrupted Erik. During a sparring match Erik had lost control and used the Dark Side to kill his Master. Witnesses believed that he was the only Dark Jedi, and had betrayed the Order, causing him to run in fear. The Order would forgive him of killing his master because of the circumstances though Erik would have to pay for killing Zhi-Kon, which he did willingly. Eileen, though she had brought him back to the Light, had not really forgiven Erik. She had only brought him back because of her promise to Zhi-Kon. Eileen would end up spending a month mourning Zhi-Kon. Ooli would help the best she could to make Eileen feel better and move on.
Once Eileen's tears were all gone, Ooli told Eileen that it was time for her to be Knighted. Because of the circumstances of what happened, Ooli had spoken with the Council and they had decided that Eileen had passed all four Trials during the Mission. Eileen had passed the Trial of the Flesh in how despite the pain of losing her friend Zhi-Kon, she had not given in to the Dark Side for revenge. She had passed the Trial of the Spirit because though she did not give into her feelings of vengeance, she did have to face them, and face the fact that she too could have feelings of anger. She passed the Trial of Skill in her fight with Erik, where he used everything he could against her and she defeated him without injuring him. She passed the Trial of Courage because she succeeded in the mission essentially by herself, against all odds, and brought Erik back to the Light. Eileen was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight and was allowed to take her own apprentice should she wish to.
Now a Jedi Knight, Eileen decided to take an apprentice of her own to train. She felt that along with being a diplomat, she really wanted to be a teacher. A Youngling Lightsaber Tournament was starting at the Temple, a good opportunity to check out the Younglings and see who would be a good apprentice. Since Master Ooli didn't have an apprentice anymore, both Eileen and Ooli went together to the Tournament to look at the Younglings. The tournament was typical, Younglings of various skill levels trying their hardest to impress the Masters. In the entire tournament, two Younglings stood above the others. One, a Rodian boy, fought with defensive techniques, wearing his opponents out before making a tactical strike in their open spots. The other, a female Wookie, fought with aggression and strength, sending most of her opponents flying even when they squarely blocked her strikes. The two started at opposite ends of the Tournament roster, each defeating numerous opponents before meeting in the Final match.
While Ooli was focused on the Rodian, who's more peaceful strategy attracted her, Eileen was focused on the Wookie's aggressive nature. In the Wookie she saw too much potential for Darkness. During the semi-final match, Eileen decided to take the Wookie as her apprentice, whether or not she won, and try to guide her away from her aggressive nature. While watching the whole tournament, Eileen chatted with fellow knights. A fellow Knight, a Bothan was taking a vocal interest in the Wookie, saying that her strength would make her an excellent apprentice. Eileen would make a bet with the Bothan for the right to train her. To the Bothan's surprise, Eileen bet that the Rodian would win the Tournament, making the Bothan ask why she even wanted the Wookie if she didn't think she would win. Eileen merely said that it was a personal reason.
During the final match, the Wookie and the Rodian would fight for twenty minutes, twice as long as the Rodian's longest fight, and forty times longer than the Wookie's longest fight. The Wookie's first strike was her hardest yet, meant to end the fight in one blow, but the Rodian deftly deflected the strike, so that the Wookie was off balance for a moment. The Rodian tried to strike but the Wookie blocked with an awkward behind-the-back motion, surprising the Rodian. The Wookie continued to make more heavy strikes, though they were better measured now to avoid losing her balance. The Rodian simply kept parrying, dodging, and deflecting, with as little motion as possible. The fight dragged on however, as the Wookie had plenty of energy. Eventually, despite how little energy the Rodian was spending, the Rodian started to get tired first. The Wookie, sensing the Rodian's fatigue, sped up her attack rate. In her increased aggression however, she left herself open. The Rodian, using a feint, deftly attacked her opening, winning the match, and the Tournament. The Bothan was in shock as Eileen went to tell the Wookie, Shrrkalla, that she would be her master, while Ooli went to claim the Rodian. The Shrrkalla was disappointed that she wasn't getting one of the older, more famous Masters as hers, and while she tried to hide her disappointment, believed that because of her coming in second place, she was a lesser pick being given to a younger Knight. She was surprised to find out about the bet, and slightly aggravated that the Knight who wanted her had bet against her. Already their relationship was off to a rocky start, but it was final, Eileen Saav would train the Wookie Shrrkalla.
Shrrkalla spent a day doing the traditional meditation before going with her Master. Shrrkalla, though she didn't get the master she would have preferred, she understood her place and went with her new Master. The two found themselves being assigned to the Jedi High Temple on Coruscant. Understanding that Shrrkalla was going to be a Guardian type of Jedi, Eileen had Shrrkalla make her Lightsaber first, spending several months learning the parts and then several more months meditating on each part, imbuing each piece with the Force and forging a connection, making the Lightsaber truly hers. Her lightsaber ended up being a curved-hilt Lightsaber. Once she had her Lightsaber Eileen spent the next several months touching up Shrrkalla's Lightsaber combat skills, teaching her to be more rational, to feel the Force when fighting so that her style would be more like a Jedi than a Sith. Shrrkalla would try to fight more passively, but her aggressive nature often took over. Though Eileen would try to teach Shrrkalla Soresu, it would be a couple years before Shrrkalla would finally calm down.
During their years together, the two would also study Niman together under a Jedi Master who specialized in the form. Eileen liked the form for the way it was a jack-of-all-trades style. Through out their years together as Master and Apprentice, Eileen would divide her time between perfecting Shii-Cho and Soresu, and becoming proficient in Niman. Also during this time Eileen would study and work hard on her own time, practicing her telekinesis ability. By the time her apprentice finally become a Knight herself, Eileen's power was such that she could perform the Force Wave, which she would often for its ability to make everyone in a general area stop fighting.
For the first couple of years the two did the normal missions Jedi take their apprentices on, missions of peace and diplomacy. Shrrkalla would go along, but she was often restless. She understood that a Jedi's real job was to prevent wars, not fight them, but she was itching to prove herself. During her free time she often found Jedi who taught her favorite style, Makashi, becoming quite proficient. She respected and revered the Force, but found herself only really good at using Force techniques that helped the body, strongly favoring Force Valor in combat.
Eventually, Eileen took Shrrkalla on a combat mission. They were to investigate a criminal syndicate in the lower areas of Coruscant. Since it was Shrrkalla's first dangerous mission, at age 16, she had to promise to obey Eileen's commands without hesitation. To start with, the two went to a bar in the lower areas that Eileen was familiar with from previous missions, The Star-High Drinking Bar. Because of Shrrkalla's young age, Eileen forbade her from drinking anything in the bar, and in fact didn't drink anything herself because of the unsanitary conditions. After spotting a contact she knew from her time working with Ooli, she went over to the Balosar slythmonger , Alan Kil'Ratakno. After reminding him of who she was and the last time she saw him, Alan quickly warmed up to Eileen, commenting on her growth, particularly in the breast department. Eileen quickly silenced any and all perverse comments for the rest of the conversation with a small threat. Getting down to business, Alan told Eileen that the syndicate runs operations out of various closed factories but never stayed in one place for more than two weeks. Alan had happened across information concerning which factory they were operating out of for the moment, though they were packing up and getting ready to leave that night. Not wanting to miss an opportunity to close them down, Eileen and Shrrkalla quickly left for the factory.
When they arrived they saw that they were indeed packing up to leave. Eileen and Shrrkalla sneaked into the factory, and quickly found the leader of the Syndicate, a Hutt named Bobba the Hutt. Eileen had Shrrkalla stay hidden, to watch Eileen so that she may learn. Eileen stepped out of hiding and confronted the Hutt. Bobba was surprised at the intrusion, and immediately ordered his men to shoot her. Twenty blaster shots fired at Eileen, twenty blasts were sent back to their blasters, destroying their weapons and leaving the thugs without weapons in their hands. Stunned, the Hutt listened as Eileen told him that she was going to arrest the Hutt and his men, and they would come quietly. The Hutt got a good laugh out of this. While she had been talking the Hutt's mercenaries had been pulling out their vibroswords. At the Hutt's command they all attacked again, swiftly finding their swords in pieces and themselves knocked out from blows to their heads. With all of his mercenaries out cold, Eileen again stated that they would all come quietly. This time the Hutt quietly nodded. Having been called on the way to the factory, the police arrived soon after and arrested everyone. Shrrkalla could not understand why Eileen had spared the mercenaries the second time. They were criminals who didn't deserve mercy. Hearing this comment, Eileen would spend a month having Shrrkalla meditate on the sanctity of life, and how life should always be preserved. On later missions Shrrkalla would show a bit more compassion for life.
When Shrrkalla was turned 20 the two got assigned a mission to Kashyyyk, Shrrkalla's homeworld. An entire tribe of Wookies had disappeared recently, and they were to find out what had happened. Upon arriving, the two met with the leader of the sister tribe of the missing one. When they met they soon realized that the Leader was Shrrkalla's father. Shrrkalla felt awkward as her father asked her how her training had been going. Eileen quickly redirected the conversation back to the mission, and soon the two were on their way to the village. When they arrived they found it empty and quiet, just like it had been found a week ago by a visiting Wookie. After investigating the village, the two found evidence that nerve gas had been used to subdue the entire village. With the Force guiding them, they found their way to the Shadowlands, directly below the village, where they found the entire village in cages, about to be taken on repulsorlift vehicles to a nearby spaceport, to be smuggled off-world to the Outer Rims as strong slaves. The leader of the whole operation was a Mad-claw named Kyyykshyr. When Shrrkalla learned that a Mad-claw was responsible for trying to enslave an entire tribe, she flew into a fit of rage, slaying all of the slavers between her and the Mad-claw, and managing to cut off both of his arms before Eileen stopped her. Using the Force to hold Shrrkalla still, Eileen talked her down from her rage, making her remember that she was a Jedi. Eileen would kill the dieing mad-claw herself, so that that particular death would not be on Shrrkalla's hands. That would be the first time she ever killed someone. Once she had calmed down, she regretted killing the human slavers. She refused to apologize for cutting off the Mad-claw's arms. After freeing all of the Wookies, Shrrkalla was haled as a hero for saving the village and justly punishing the Mad-claw. The praise confused Shrrkalla even more, as the Jedi Order had always told her that such killing was wrong. Eileen explained to Shrrkalla that while killing criminals in itself may not be wrong, and Shrrkalla's actions were indeed quite justified, a Jedi must never kill out of anger or rage, because doing so will lead to the Dark Side. While Eileen refused to kill because of personal beliefs concerning the Jedi way, Eileen told Shrrkalla that she herself was not forbidden from killing, she just hoped that Shrrkalla would never give into rage, and would only kill if she absolutely had to. Shrrkalla would spend much time thinking on these words. Afterwords though, they wondered how the whole operation had almost been pulled off. Kyyykshyr, after being exiled, had found remnants of Czerka's slave operation when Kashyyyk, mostly cages. Kyyykshyr had somehow hooked up with an up and coming crime group who wanted to branch into the slave trade. Kyyykshyr had all of the main slaving equipment in the Shadowlands, all they needed was a dozen nerve gas devices that Kyyykshyr would place under the village so that it would knock out the whole village, leaving them easy pickings for the criminals to pack up.
Nearing the end of Shrrkalla's training Eileen's Force abilites would reach their peak. Eileen had spent years working on her favorite areas, Sense and Telekinesis, and was very skilled in those departments. She would learn that she had the Force Ability, Psychometry during a mission she wasn't allowed to bring Shrrkalla on. She and three other Jedi Knights were assigned a mission to take down a droid factory that was going to be used to supply soldiers for a war in the Outer Rim. The droid factory was owned by a corrupt and evil arms corporation. Their assault on the factory was sanctioned by the Chancellor. As the oldest of the four Jedi, and for her leadership abilities, Eileen was put in charge of the mission. The factory they were to take down was entirely automated, so the Jedi were given free discretion on how they wanted to take it down. The factory was on a small Mid Rim planet, hidden in the middle of a Residential area, preventing them from simply blowing it up.
Eileen led her team to the factory, sneaking in at night with the intent to hack the mainframe and ruin the whole factory. Splitting into pairs, Eileen took one Knight to the roof while the other two sneaked in through the back door. Eileen found an entrance on the roof that lead into an office. While the other two got in and made their way to the mainframe, Eileen and her partner investigated the office, finding a little information on the person who owned the factory. While checking out the desk, Eileen felt the Force pulling on her. Picking up the pretty pen off the desk, Eileen felt the Force trying to tell her something. Mentioning this to her partner, her partner replied that it was probably that odd ability, Psychometry. Her partner warned Eileen to be careful about using the ability, because of the emotions one can experience while using the ability, but Eileen went ahead and tried it on the pen. She saw a vision, of the owner of the pen. It was a human woman, who loved that pen and constantly touched it while she worked there. She was the only organic at the factory, and even then only during the day, so she had become attached to her pen for some reason. Eileen watched as the vision showed her talking to a Hutt on the holo-display on the desk. The Hutt was one of those weird ones with hair, long white hair and a braided beard. Eileen recognized the Hutt, Zeibba. Once the vision was over, they quickly cleaned up, destroying the computers and shutting down the droids. They got called by the other pair, who told them that they had hacked the mainframe and did everything they needed. Done there, the sneaked out, returning to their ship and heading home.
Because of their mission, there were no droids for the war and because of the information they found, they were able to get the corporation involved shut down for their criminal activities. Eileen would go on to practice her new found ability, Psychometry, becoming able to do it well enough by the time her Padawan had become a Knight.
Eventually the time would come when Eileen thought Shrrkalla was ready for her Trials. When the two approached the Council, it was agreed that Shrrkalla had already passed both the Trial of Flesh and the Spirit during her encounter with the Mad-claw on Kashyyyk. All that remained was Skill and Courage. For the Trial of Courage Shrrkalla would face a Simulacrum of a Sith Lord from the Jedi Civil War. The fight would be long and hard, but in the end, thanks to the Wookie's tough nature, she would end victorious, passing her Trial of Courage. To Shrrkalla's surprise, her Trial of Skill would be against her Master, Eileen. As Eileen approached her student, she smiled, telling Shrrkalla how proud she was of her for passing her Trial of Courage. Reassured by her Master's praise, Shrrkalla readied herself. Their fight was long, Shrrkalla fighting to the best of her abilities, remembering every lesson her master had taught her, and though Shrrkalla lost, she showed excellent Lightsaber combat skills and Force application, passing her Trial of Skill. Afterwords Eileen would proudly perform the Knighting ceremony for Shrrkalla, cutting her Padawan braid off as she inducted her into the Order as a Knight of the Republic. Having successfully gotten a Padawan to Knighthood, Eileen herself was promoted to Jedi Master at age 32. Shrrkalla went on to take her own apprentice, a Wookie. Eileen went on to take another apprentice, Rabino.

Crooks
Eileen smiled at the crooks that surrounded her. They were petty thugs, and young too. Eileen could sense that for a few of them, this was their first crime. They still had a chance at redemption. They were at surprised at the woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. To them she was simply a blindfolded woman in odd red robes. After all, this far in the Outer Rim, the Jedi were a fanciful legend, surely impossible to exist. So when the oldest fired his blaster at her, they were all shocked to see her orange lightsaber appear, deflecting the bolt harmlessly into the ground.
"Would you all please put your blasters down? You haven't yet robbed that store, so you can still walk away."
Her voice was like silk as she spoke to them, trying to lead them away from their crime. But the oldest thug merely cried, "Shut up B*tch!" as he fired at her again. This time she not only deflected the bolt but performed Sun Djem, destroying his blaster before using the Force to pull all of their blasters away from them.
"I'll ask you nicely once, more, please stop this."
At that point the youngest three, who were still technically not criminals yet, ran away, never to attempt a crime again. The remaining two however, pulled out knives and tried to cut the Miraluka Jedi up. Two second later they were on the ground, their knives little more than melted slag, as the local police came by and arrested them for assault on a civilian. They would spend the night in jail after which they would be let go because Eileen refused to press charges, saying that they've learned their lesson. Eileen then went back to her mission after being side-tracked by the would-be thieves.

Personality: Headstrong, proud, ready to leap to the defense of the little guy in a heartbeat, Eileen is extremely loyal to the Jedi Order. She is a trusted comrade to many knights and a new equal to the Masters. Often appears arrogant though this belies her wisdom that goes beyond her years. She often looks for the positive side of things, and believes most everyone can be redeemed. She strongly believes in the principle upon which the Jedi Order was founded, and will not kill unless she has to (and in fact has only killed twice in her career so far). She is eager to earn a place on the High Council. She understands that everyone has a duty to do, and respects the wisdom of her elders. She is very idealistic and trusting, but far from naive. She is a strong example of a user of Form "Zero". She strongly believes in the Living Force

Bio:
Before being discovered by the Jedi
Eileen was born to a normal Miraluka couple on the Miraluka home-planet, Alpheridies, in the small village of Kilnaas. For five years Eileen grew up in her family, a happy and seemingly normal child. Her family was not rich, but Eileen was provided for, and never went hungry. Her parents encouraged her curiosity and her dreams, though inside they were sad that they weren't able to give her as much as other parents could give their own children.
One day a Jedi was passing through their village on a mission to another village to investigate a potential lost Holocron. While there, the Jedi master felt the potential of the child when he saw her with her mother walking through town. He felt that the Force was stronger in her than it was with the other Miraluka of the village. Taking note of where the girl lived, he continued on his mission, recovered the Holocron and returned to the village. He approached the parents, explaining who he was and why he was there. He asked them if they would let him take her to the temple to be trained. While hesitant to give their daughter away, they realized that this would be the best opportunity for their girl. She would be given a chance to grow and do great things that they weren't able to do for her. They asked the Jedi to give them a day to talk to their daughter first, saying that in the end, the choice would be hers, as it should be. The Jedi understood and left, staying at a local inn for the night while he contacted the Order and told them about his mission and his discovery.
That night they talked to their young daughter, and explained the opportunity she had. They told her of how they loved her and wanted her to be happy. They also told her of how they wanted her to have the best life possible to do great things for the galaxy. They made sure she understood that if she wanted to go become a Jedi, that it was alright and they would always love her and know that they would be proud of the great Jedi should would become. That night they slept with their daughter in the same bed, giving their precious daughter the whole night to think it over.
The next morning when the Jedi arrived back to see their answer, the parents did not speak. Eileen walked up to the Jedi and gazed upon him for a long time with her Force Sight. She saw all of what it meant to be a Jedi in this man, all of the power, the wisdom, but most importantly, she saw the compassion and love inherent in the Jedi way. She saw that her destiny did indeed lay with the Jedi. After saying yes, she shared one long hug with her parents before departing, all three once again stating their eternal love for each other and wishing each other well before Eileen left, happy, and more ready for her destiny than any other child could have possibly been.
Years as a Youngling
Eileen would be brought to the Culu Memorial Center on the other side of the planet. The Jedi Master, Hal I'Kal, brought her to the Jedi in charge of initiates. A standard test showed that she had a sufficient potential in the Force to be trained. After making sure Eileen was comfortable, he said goodbye and left for the Temple on Coruscant to see the High Council about his mission and the Holocron he found.
Eileen quickly found herself making friends with the other members of her clan, the group of younglings that would be together for their years as initiates. Of her group of 11, Eileen was the second oldest, and was the one who suggested what would become their clan's name, the Aurora clan. As the clan would grow up, Eileen would be a most dedicated student, earnestly studying Jedi principles. She loved their classes where they learned the basic aspects of the Force. She found the classes on telekinesis the most fun. She was a natural at manipulating the small toy blocks into whatever the their teacher requested. Often finishing first, should would help the other younglings understand what they needed to do. She was a natural teacher's assistant and user of the Force.
But where Eileen was happiest during her training was during meditations. She loved the peaceful feeling she felt when she quieted her mind and listened to the Force.
At first Eileen had a lot of trouble during Lightsaber training, the only thing she had trouble with. She could remember the moves and forms, and was able to go through the motions, but found herself unable to be aggressive. In their gentle sparring classes when they were older, she was unable to attack. She would freeze up, loosing every match. When talking with her teacher during meditations, she would explain how she wants to be a protector, a wise helper of those in need, but she can't stand the idea of hurting others. Her teacher explained to her one of the core principles of Shii-Cho, that is to win without inflicting injury, mainly through moves like sun djem, the act of destroying an opponent's weapon. After she learned the tactic, she quickly flourished in Lightsaber training, soon racking up a winning streak, every win through Shii-Cho's focus on sun djem. She decided then that her philosophy in combat as a Jedi would always be victory without injury when possible. Her adamant beliefs would be the reason her Master would pick her as his Padawan.
Becoming a Padawan
A Twi'lek named Ooli Ayanda, who had recently become a Master after her last apprentice passed her trials, had spent the past year, watching the Younglings for her next apprentice, had found her eyes watching Eileen, especially during Lightsaber training. Having watched her training closely during her twelfth year of life, Ooli had found herself admiring how Eileen embraced the Jedi principles at such a young age through her relatively skilled use of Shii-Cho. She saw in the girl herself when she was a Youngling, adamant about spreading peace to the Galaxy.
Just after Eileen's 12th birthday, Eileen met Ooli for the first time and was told that she would be her master. That day the two would spend many hours happily talking, getting to know each other. They immediately knew they would be great together. Over the next couple of days she said goodbye to her friends and teacher as she got ready to start her training with her new Master. Eileen would spend one whole day doing the traditional meditation before heading off with her new Master.
Early Training
Like her Master did before her, and like she did with her first apprentice, the first thing Ooli did with Eileen was have Eileen construct her own Lightsaber. Over the next year, Ooli taught Eileen everything she needed to know about the parts of a Lightsaber, about what the Lightsaber means to a Jedi, and how deep the constructing of a Jedi's Lightsaber is. By Eileen's 13th birthday, she had successfully made her own Lightsaber which was a simple, single phase saber with an orange blade. Eileen's pride was shared by Ooli, for they both agreed, it was a fine Lightsaber indeed.
Ooli had made sure to keep Eileen training in her Lightsaber skills as well as Force application. By the time her Lightsaber was finished Eileen was proficient Shii-Cho and Eileen had taken her first steps in learning Soresu. With her new Lightsaber in hand, the two went on their first mission together as Master and Apprentice.
Mediating a peace treaty
Their first mission together was typical of most Jedi. Two clans on a nearby planet had requested the Order send a Jedi to mediate a peace treaty to end a hundred year long war. Ooli had offered herself and her apprentice to attend. At the peace meeting, Eileen was the perfect apprentice. She didn't speak, she just watched as her Master mediated. Whenever it seemed that one side was going to find some problem with the Treaty, Master Ooli would eloquently point out a way to resolve it, making sure everyone was happy. Eileen was in awe of the way Ooli stayed calm and smiling the whole meeting, doing exactly what Eileen dreamed of doing when she grew up. By the end of the meeting in just a day, both leaders were happily toasting to the new peace treaty, and to the prosperity they would share for years to come. As they returned to the temple on Alpheridies, Master and Apprentice spoke together on the purposes of the Jedi, the best ways to bring about peace, and the ways of the Diplomat. By the time they returned, Eileen knew that she had the best teacher possible for her, and that she would follow the path of the Diplomat, brokering peace all across the Galaxy.
Being too young to take on any really dangerous mission, for the first four years of her apprenticeship Ooli and Eileen only took on diplomatic missions, mediating peace treaties, being witnesses to legal events, providing Jedi wisdom to solve tense situations. Around the second year of training with Ooli, the two were moved to the Temple on Coruscant in the Core Worlds. For months Eileen would be very uncomfortable during their missions in the core Worlds, as she saw significantly less non-humans there. Eventually though she would get used to it. A couple months after Eileen's 16th birthday, Ooli decided that Eileen needed to experience the dangers of the Jedi. Not wanting Eileen to be in explicit danger though, they started small. Their first danger possible mission was to help with a local investigation into a gang that was terrorizing the local populace. During the course of the mission which took several weeks, Eileen would show her skill in deductive reasoning, using various signs with guidance and encouragement from her master to deduce where the location of the gang's hideout. The two would help in the raid on the place, Eileen showing exemplary skill in disarming and apprehending several of the thugs without harming them. By this point Eileen was proficient in her favored styles of Shii-Cho and Soresu. Eileen was made an honorary deputy of that law enforcement group for her help and skill.
Later Training and The Jedi Trials
By 17 Eileen was being taught advanced maneuvers for both Shii-Cho and Soresu and was capable of defending against and disarming entire gangs of petty thugs at once, though through daily recitation of the Jedi code, Eileen tried to stay as humble as she could. She had shown a particular aptitude for both the telekinetic and the sensing aspects of the Force, so Eileen and her Master often practiced applications of telekinesis both in and out of combat. Everyday they would meditate, honing their awareness of the Force. Sometimes Eileen would get visions of the future, though at this point they were still blurry and rarely relevant. Only once during her Padawan years did she have a vision clear enough to be of use, as the vision was of her pulling a stranger out of the way of a falling object, which would come true just a week after the vision. Realizing that Eileen's true strength lay in the Force, Master Ooli would focus more on developing Eileen's sensitivity to the Force than Lightsaber combat or battle tactics. They would often study history, learning of great acts of diplomacy and entire wars averted because of a peaceful word at the right time.
By the time Eileen turned 21, Master Ooli would often tell Eileen that she was getting close to being ready for the Trials. Eileen felt more than confident about her abilities, stating that her Lightsaber skill, Force abilities, and strength of mind would carry her through the Trials with ease.
A week before her 22 birthday, Eileen would face the most important mission of her Padawan years. After returning from another successful diplomatic meeting averting a small war, Master Ooli was told that a Padawan had fallen to the Dark Side and killed his master. The Padawan had been a friend of Eileen when they were Younglings and therefore, also 21 years old, and the Council hoped that Eileen may be able to bring him back to the Light through their Friendship. Another Master and Apprentice were asked to help, in case the Padawan refused to come back to the Light. Over the next week of following Padawan Erik Dracon's trail, Eileen would grow very close to the other Padawan, Zhi-Kon Arthen, quickly becoming best friends. Since the Masters were too focused on finding Erik, and the two Padawan's were unable to really help, the two would celebrate Eileen's birthday in the Cargo area without the Masters. Zhi-Kon gave Eileen a bracelet he made as his present for her birthday. He said it would bring her luck during her Trials, since she was finally of age to take them. Eileen absolutely loved it.
Eventually the fun would come to an end, when the Masters tracked Erik to Talravin. Erik, alone and afraid, kept running from the Jedi whenever they caught up to him. They spent a month running around the planet trying to catch him. Zhi-Kon would be the first to catch up with Erik. While trying to calm Erik down and explain that he could still come back, Eileen walked into the room they were in. Panicking, thinking that Zhi-Kon had lied to him, the frightened Padawan blasted the distracted Zhi-Kon with Force Lighting before running away. Eileen, ignoring the fleeing Erik, tried her best to heal Zhi-Kon's wounds, but the Lighting had hit his heart, an organ too complex for Eileen's meager skills to heal. As he lay dieing in Eileen's arms, Zhi-Kon told Eileen to stay strong, to find Erik and bring him back to the Light. In his final moments the two admitted that a forbidden love had been blossoming between them, and they shared one kiss before he died. When the Masters arrived they found Eileen kneeling next to Zhi-Kon's body. He had been propped up, making him look like he was just taking a nap except for the burn on his clothes. Ooli sensed how strongly the loss was affecting Eileen, and though Ooli kindly offered to let Eileen leave the mission, Eileen refused, saying that she promised Zhi-Kon that she would bring Erik back. Over the next week Eileen would pursue Erik with a calm vigor, eventually catching up to him well ahead of the two Masters. Erik, remembering that he had caused Eileen such pain a week ago, feared for his life from what he thought was a vengeful Jedi. Erik tried everything he could, Lighting, telekinesis, and eventually Lightsaber combat, but he could not stop Eileen's approach. Using Soresu to get up close and sun djem to disarm Erik, Erik began to beg for his life. To his surprise, Eileen hugged him, holding him tightly as she begged Erik to give himself up, to come back to the Light, so that Zhi-Kon's death would not have been a waste. In that moment, feeling the Light and warmth that shone out of Eileen's heart, Erik fear disappeared. He gave himself up, and returned to the Order for his punishment. It turned out that the reason Erik had killed his Master was because he had Fallen to the Dark Side first, and had corrupted Erik. During a sparring match Erik had lost control and used the Dark Side to kill his Master. Witnesses believed that he was the only Dark Jedi, and had betrayed the Order, causing him to run in fear. The Order would forgive him of killing his master because of the circumstances though Erik would have to pay for killing Zhi-Kon, which he did willingly. Eileen, though she had brought him back to the Light, had not really forgiven Erik. She had only brought him back because of her promise to Zhi-Kon. Eileen would end up spending a month mourning Zhi-Kon. Ooli would help the best she could to make Eileen feel better and move on.
Once Eileen's tears were all gone, Ooli told Eileen that it was time for her to be Knighted. Because of the circumstances of what happened, Ooli had spoken with the Council and they had decided that Eileen had passed all four Trials during the Mission. Eileen had passed the Trial of the Flesh in how despite the pain of losing her friend Zhi-Kon, she had not given in to the Dark Side for revenge. She had passed the Trial of the Spirit because though she did not give into her feelings of vengeance, she did have to face them, and face the fact that she too could have feelings of anger. She passed the Trial of Skill in her fight with Erik, where he used everything he could against her and she defeated him without injuring him. She passed the Trial of Courage because she succeeded in the mission essentially by herself, against all odds, and brought Erik back to the Light. Eileen was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight and was allowed to take her own apprentice should she wish to.
Her Hairy Apprentice
Now a Jedi Knight, Eileen decided to take an apprentice of her own to train. She felt that along with being a diplomat, she really wanted to be a teacher. A Youngling Lightsaber Tournament was starting at the Temple, a good opportunity to check out the Younglings and see who would be a good apprentice. Since Master Ooli didn't have an apprentice anymore, both Eileen and Ooli went together to the Tournament to look at the Younglings. The tournament was typical, Younglings of various skill levels trying their hardest to impress the Masters. In the entire tournament, two Younglings stood above the others. One, a Rodian boy, fought with defensive techniques, wearing his opponents out before making a tactical strike in their open spots. The other, a female Wookie, fought with aggression and strength, sending most of her opponents flying even when they squarely blocked her strikes. The two started at opposite ends of the Tournament roster, each defeating numerous opponents before meeting in the Final match.
While Ooli was focused on the Rodian, who's more peaceful strategy attracted her, Eileen was focused on the Wookie's aggressive nature. In the Wookie she saw too much potential for Darkness. During the semi-final match, Eileen decided to take the Wookie as her apprentice, whether or not she won, and try to guide her away from her aggressive nature. While watching the whole tournament, Eileen chatted with fellow knights. A fellow Knight, a Bothan was taking a vocal interest in the Wookie, saying that her strength would make her an excellent apprentice. Eileen would make a bet with the Bothan for the right to train her. To the Bothan's surprise, Eileen bet that the Rodian would win the Tournament, making the Bothan ask why she even wanted the Wookie if she didn't think she would win. Eileen merely said that it was a personal reason.
During the final match, the Wookie and the Rodian would fight for twenty minutes, twice as long as the Rodian's longest fight, and forty times longer than the Wookie's longest fight. The Wookie's first strike was her hardest yet, meant to end the fight in one blow, but the Rodian deftly deflected the strike, so that the Wookie was off balance for a moment. The Rodian tried to strike but the Wookie blocked with an awkward behind-the-back motion, surprising the Rodian. The Wookie continued to make more heavy strikes, though they were better measured now to avoid losing her balance. The Rodian simply kept parrying, dodging, and deflecting, with as little motion as possible. The fight dragged on however, as the Wookie had plenty of energy. Eventually, despite how little energy the Rodian was spending, the Rodian started to get tired first. The Wookie, sensing the Rodian's fatigue, sped up her attack rate. In her increased aggression however, she left herself open. The Rodian, using a feint, deftly attacked her opening, winning the match, and the Tournament. The Bothan was in shock as Eileen went to tell the Wookie, Shrrkalla, that she would be her master, while Ooli went to claim the Rodian. The Shrrkalla was disappointed that she wasn't getting one of the older, more famous Masters as hers, and while she tried to hide her disappointment, believed that because of her coming in second place, she was a lesser pick being given to a younger Knight. She was surprised to find out about the bet, and slightly aggravated that the Knight who wanted her had bet against her. Already their relationship was off to a rocky start, but it was final, Eileen Saav would train the Wookie Shrrkalla.
Difficult to Train
Shrrkalla spent a day doing the traditional meditation before going with her Master. Shrrkalla, though she didn't get the master she would have preferred, she understood her place and went with her new Master. The two found themselves being assigned to the Jedi High Temple on Coruscant. Understanding that Shrrkalla was going to be a Guardian type of Jedi, Eileen had Shrrkalla make her Lightsaber first, spending several months learning the parts and then several more months meditating on each part, imbuing each piece with the Force and forging a connection, making the Lightsaber truly hers. Her lightsaber ended up being a curved-hilt Lightsaber. Once she had her Lightsaber Eileen spent the next several months touching up Shrrkalla's Lightsaber combat skills, teaching her to be more rational, to feel the Force when fighting so that her style would be more like a Jedi than a Sith. Shrrkalla would try to fight more passively, but her aggressive nature often took over. Though Eileen would try to teach Shrrkalla Soresu, it would be a couple years before Shrrkalla would finally calm down.
During their years together, the two would also study Niman together under a Jedi Master who specialized in the form. Eileen liked the form for the way it was a jack-of-all-trades style. Through out their years together as Master and Apprentice, Eileen would divide her time between perfecting Shii-Cho and Soresu, and becoming proficient in Niman. Also during this time Eileen would study and work hard on her own time, practicing her telekinesis ability. By the time her apprentice finally become a Knight herself, Eileen's power was such that she could perform the Force Wave, which she would often for its ability to make everyone in a general area stop fighting.
For the first couple of years the two did the normal missions Jedi take their apprentices on, missions of peace and diplomacy. Shrrkalla would go along, but she was often restless. She understood that a Jedi's real job was to prevent wars, not fight them, but she was itching to prove herself. During her free time she often found Jedi who taught her favorite style, Makashi, becoming quite proficient. She respected and revered the Force, but found herself only really good at using Force techniques that helped the body, strongly favoring Force Valor in combat.
Eventually, Eileen took Shrrkalla on a combat mission. They were to investigate a criminal syndicate in the lower areas of Coruscant. Since it was Shrrkalla's first dangerous mission, at age 16, she had to promise to obey Eileen's commands without hesitation. To start with, the two went to a bar in the lower areas that Eileen was familiar with from previous missions, The Star-High Drinking Bar. Because of Shrrkalla's young age, Eileen forbade her from drinking anything in the bar, and in fact didn't drink anything herself because of the unsanitary conditions. After spotting a contact she knew from her time working with Ooli, she went over to the Balosar slythmonger , Alan Kil'Ratakno. After reminding him of who she was and the last time she saw him, Alan quickly warmed up to Eileen, commenting on her growth, particularly in the breast department. Eileen quickly silenced any and all perverse comments for the rest of the conversation with a small threat. Getting down to business, Alan told Eileen that the syndicate runs operations out of various closed factories but never stayed in one place for more than two weeks. Alan had happened across information concerning which factory they were operating out of for the moment, though they were packing up and getting ready to leave that night. Not wanting to miss an opportunity to close them down, Eileen and Shrrkalla quickly left for the factory.
When they arrived they saw that they were indeed packing up to leave. Eileen and Shrrkalla sneaked into the factory, and quickly found the leader of the Syndicate, a Hutt named Bobba the Hutt. Eileen had Shrrkalla stay hidden, to watch Eileen so that she may learn. Eileen stepped out of hiding and confronted the Hutt. Bobba was surprised at the intrusion, and immediately ordered his men to shoot her. Twenty blaster shots fired at Eileen, twenty blasts were sent back to their blasters, destroying their weapons and leaving the thugs without weapons in their hands. Stunned, the Hutt listened as Eileen told him that she was going to arrest the Hutt and his men, and they would come quietly. The Hutt got a good laugh out of this. While she had been talking the Hutt's mercenaries had been pulling out their vibroswords. At the Hutt's command they all attacked again, swiftly finding their swords in pieces and themselves knocked out from blows to their heads. With all of his mercenaries out cold, Eileen again stated that they would all come quietly. This time the Hutt quietly nodded. Having been called on the way to the factory, the police arrived soon after and arrested everyone. Shrrkalla could not understand why Eileen had spared the mercenaries the second time. They were criminals who didn't deserve mercy. Hearing this comment, Eileen would spend a month having Shrrkalla meditate on the sanctity of life, and how life should always be preserved. On later missions Shrrkalla would show a bit more compassion for life.
Mission to Kashyyyk
When Shrrkalla was turned 20 the two got assigned a mission to Kashyyyk, Shrrkalla's homeworld. An entire tribe of Wookies had disappeared recently, and they were to find out what had happened. Upon arriving, the two met with the leader of the sister tribe of the missing one. When they met they soon realized that the Leader was Shrrkalla's father. Shrrkalla felt awkward as her father asked her how her training had been going. Eileen quickly redirected the conversation back to the mission, and soon the two were on their way to the village. When they arrived they found it empty and quiet, just like it had been found a week ago by a visiting Wookie. After investigating the village, the two found evidence that nerve gas had been used to subdue the entire village. With the Force guiding them, they found their way to the Shadowlands, directly below the village, where they found the entire village in cages, about to be taken on repulsorlift vehicles to a nearby spaceport, to be smuggled off-world to the Outer Rims as strong slaves. The leader of the whole operation was a Mad-claw named Kyyykshyr. When Shrrkalla learned that a Mad-claw was responsible for trying to enslave an entire tribe, she flew into a fit of rage, slaying all of the slavers between her and the Mad-claw, and managing to cut off both of his arms before Eileen stopped her. Using the Force to hold Shrrkalla still, Eileen talked her down from her rage, making her remember that she was a Jedi. Eileen would kill the dieing mad-claw herself, so that that particular death would not be on Shrrkalla's hands. That would be the first time she ever killed someone. Once she had calmed down, she regretted killing the human slavers. She refused to apologize for cutting off the Mad-claw's arms. After freeing all of the Wookies, Shrrkalla was haled as a hero for saving the village and justly punishing the Mad-claw. The praise confused Shrrkalla even more, as the Jedi Order had always told her that such killing was wrong. Eileen explained to Shrrkalla that while killing criminals in itself may not be wrong, and Shrrkalla's actions were indeed quite justified, a Jedi must never kill out of anger or rage, because doing so will lead to the Dark Side. While Eileen refused to kill because of personal beliefs concerning the Jedi way, Eileen told Shrrkalla that she herself was not forbidden from killing, she just hoped that Shrrkalla would never give into rage, and would only kill if she absolutely had to. Shrrkalla would spend much time thinking on these words. Afterwords though, they wondered how the whole operation had almost been pulled off. Kyyykshyr, after being exiled, had found remnants of Czerka's slave operation when Kashyyyk, mostly cages. Kyyykshyr had somehow hooked up with an up and coming crime group who wanted to branch into the slave trade. Kyyykshyr had all of the main slaving equipment in the Shadowlands, all they needed was a dozen nerve gas devices that Kyyykshyr would place under the village so that it would knock out the whole village, leaving them easy pickings for the criminals to pack up.
Pinnacle of Force Abilities
Nearing the end of Shrrkalla's training Eileen's Force abilites would reach their peak. Eileen had spent years working on her favorite areas, Sense and Telekinesis, and was very skilled in those departments. She would learn that she had the Force Ability, Psychometry during a mission she wasn't allowed to bring Shrrkalla on. She and three other Jedi Knights were assigned a mission to take down a droid factory that was going to be used to supply soldiers for a war in the Outer Rim. The droid factory was owned by a corrupt and evil arms corporation. Their assault on the factory was sanctioned by the Chancellor. As the oldest of the four Jedi, and for her leadership abilities, Eileen was put in charge of the mission. The factory they were to take down was entirely automated, so the Jedi were given free discretion on how they wanted to take it down. The factory was on a small Mid Rim planet, hidden in the middle of a Residential area, preventing them from simply blowing it up.
Eileen led her team to the factory, sneaking in at night with the intent to hack the mainframe and ruin the whole factory. Splitting into pairs, Eileen took one Knight to the roof while the other two sneaked in through the back door. Eileen found an entrance on the roof that lead into an office. While the other two got in and made their way to the mainframe, Eileen and her partner investigated the office, finding a little information on the person who owned the factory. While checking out the desk, Eileen felt the Force pulling on her. Picking up the pretty pen off the desk, Eileen felt the Force trying to tell her something. Mentioning this to her partner, her partner replied that it was probably that odd ability, Psychometry. Her partner warned Eileen to be careful about using the ability, because of the emotions one can experience while using the ability, but Eileen went ahead and tried it on the pen. She saw a vision, of the owner of the pen. It was a human woman, who loved that pen and constantly touched it while she worked there. She was the only organic at the factory, and even then only during the day, so she had become attached to her pen for some reason. Eileen watched as the vision showed her talking to a Hutt on the holo-display on the desk. The Hutt was one of those weird ones with hair, long white hair and a braided beard. Eileen recognized the Hutt, Zeibba. Once the vision was over, they quickly cleaned up, destroying the computers and shutting down the droids. They got called by the other pair, who told them that they had hacked the mainframe and did everything they needed. Done there, the sneaked out, returning to their ship and heading home.
Because of their mission, there were no droids for the war and because of the information they found, they were able to get the corporation involved shut down for their criminal activities. Eileen would go on to practice her new found ability, Psychometry, becoming able to do it well enough by the time her Padawan had become a Knight.
Becoming a Master
Eventually the time would come when Eileen thought Shrrkalla was ready for her Trials. When the two approached the Council, it was agreed that Shrrkalla had already passed both the Trial of Flesh and the Spirit during her encounter with the Mad-claw on Kashyyyk. All that remained was Skill and Courage. For the Trial of Courage Shrrkalla would face a Simulacrum of a Sith Lord from the Jedi Civil War. The fight would be long and hard, but in the end, thanks to the Wookie's tough nature, she would end victorious, passing her Trial of Courage. To Shrrkalla's surprise, her Trial of Skill would be against her Master, Eileen. As Eileen approached her student, she smiled, telling Shrrkalla how proud she was of her for passing her Trial of Courage. Reassured by her Master's praise, Shrrkalla readied herself. Their fight was long, Shrrkalla fighting to the best of her abilities, remembering every lesson her master had taught her, and though Shrrkalla lost, she showed excellent Lightsaber combat skills and Force application, passing her Trial of Skill. Afterwords Eileen would proudly perform the Knighting ceremony for Shrrkalla, cutting her Padawan braid off as she inducted her into the Order as a Knight of the Republic. Having successfully gotten a Padawan to Knighthood, Eileen herself was promoted to Jedi Master at age 32. Shrrkalla went on to take her own apprentice, a Wookie. Eileen went on to take another apprentice, Rabino.

Crooks
Eileen smiled at the crooks that surrounded her. They were petty thugs, and young too. Eileen could sense that for a few of them, this was their first crime. They still had a chance at redemption. They were at surprised at the woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. To them she was simply a blindfolded woman in odd red robes. After all, this far in the Outer Rim, the Jedi were a fanciful legend, surely impossible to exist. So when the oldest fired his blaster at her, they were all shocked to see her orange lightsaber appear, deflecting the bolt harmlessly into the ground.
"Would you all please put your blasters down? You haven't yet robbed that store, so you can still walk away."
Her voice was like silk as she spoke to them, trying to lead them away from their crime. But the oldest thug merely cried, "Shut up B*tch!" as he fired at her again. This time she not only deflected the bolt but performed Sun Djem, destroying his blaster before using the Force to pull all of their blasters away from them.
"I'll ask you nicely once, more, please stop this."
At that point the youngest three, who were still technically not criminals yet, ran away, never to attempt a crime again. The remaining two however, pulled out knives and tried to cut the Miraluka Jedi up. Two second later they were on the ground, their knives little more than melted slag, as the local police came by and arrested them for assault on a civilian. They would spend the night in jail after which they would be let go because Eileen refused to press charges, saying that they've learned their lesson. Eileen then went back to her mission after being side-tracked by the would-be thieves.
