Author Charlene Newcomb expanded the story of Anii Degarienne of her website. Anii Degarienne and Matt Turhaya met on Corellia when they were 18 years old. Anii's accident took place on Carida six weeks before Matt's graduation. It was in fact a murder committed by the Empire because she was the daughter of a Jedi Knight named Lexi Degarienne. Degarienne was not actually his true last name. The Jedi was eventually discovered by Darth Vader’s Jedi extermination group on Janara III. The Imperial raid on Janara III was a premeditated attack to kill Lexi Degarienne and it was successful.[3]
