Biography
Edit
Discovered to be Force-sensitive near birth on her homeworld, Deran Nalual was taken to the Coruscant Jedi Temple and inducted into the academy there. Studying the ways of the Force, Nalual eventually graduated after years of study and was selected by Jedi Knight Siadem Forte for one-on-one training. During her apprenticeship, the tensions between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems came to a breaking point resulting in the start of the Clone Wars. Reporting to the Jedi High Council, Nalual was given the rank of Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic and leadership of clone troopers. Despite participating in many battles, Nalual never gained much esteem or notoriety.[1]
After years of fighting, the war ended abruptly when the Republic's Supreme Chancellor disbanded the Jedi Order with the issuance of Contingency Order 66. When her clone troopers turned their blasters on the Jedi pair, Forte and Nalual fought and killed their troops before issuing a distress call from Dellalt. Blind from the attack by her troops, Nalual felt some comfort when eight other Jeid arrived on planet. Forte led the fugitive Jedi in hijacking an SX troop shuttle from the newly formed Galactic Empire, making their way offworld. While they were pursued by a group of ARC-170s and a light cruiser, losing four of their company, Nalual and the others escaped pursuit and were given sanctuary by the crew of the Drunk Dancer. In the company of smuggler Jula Shryne, the group was eventually joined by Master Roan Shryne and Padawan Olee Starstone. Given knew hope by Starstone's enthusiasm and determination, Nalual and her companions agreed to search for Grand Master Yoda on Kashyyyk.[1]
Once there, Kashyyyk came under invasion by the Empire for housing Jedi. Led by Darth Vader, the Empire searched for the Jedi fugitives, eventually confronting them. Padawan Nalual remained on watch at the landing pad in Kachirho, while her master and the others went into the city to discuss strategy with the Wookiee chieftains. While her master died in a confrontation with Vader, Nalual dutifully waited for her companions before they took off and fled into space. With her friends support, Nalual decided to work on construction sites, or in an agricultural projects within the Empire, and intended to undo the Sith in more subtle ways then with a lightsaber.[1]
