BiographyEdit

A Force-sensitive, Danyawarra began training in the ways of the Force under the tenants of the Jedi Order. After graduating from the Order's academy, Danyawarra was selected by Jedi Master Ludwin Katarkus to become his Padawan.^[1]

In 23 BBY, the Jedi High Council assigned Master Katarkus to mediate the ongoing Virgillian Civil War between the Virgillian Free Alignment and the Aristocracy. Consisting of two Master-Padawan teams, the diplomatic envoy was made up of Katarkus and Danyawarra, and Master Everen Ettene and Halagad Ventor. As the shuttle carrying the Jedi envoy entered Virgillia 7's orbit and touched down on the planet's surface, it was attacked by terrorists and destroyed. After receiving no word from the diplomatic team for three months, the High Council announced that it presumed the Jedi dead and would be holding memorial services for them within the Coruscant Jedi Temple's walls.^[1]

While the Clone Wars overshadowed this loss, both Danywarra and Ventor did reappear and rejoin the Order, serving as commander and general respectively in the Grand Army of the Republic.^[1] As a commander, Danyawarra was placed in command of the 327th Star Corps' 101st Regiment, commanding well over 2,000 soldiers.^[2]
