"Good day. My name is Guardian Pressor. You're in a turbolift car that is being held in suspension between two opposing repulsor beams. Do you understand this?"
―Jorad Pressor[1]

Jorad Pressor was a survivor of the Outbound Flight Project. Unknown to him, his family was selected because his father, Dillian Pressor, had a glimmer of Force-sensitivity and his descendants may have had Jedi potential. He was the brother of Katarin Pressor and Rosemari Pressor Tabory.

Biography[]

"Let's make this simple, Ambassador. First of all, I don't trust you. Any of you. You arrive suddenly and without warning, invading my ship without even attempting to communicate with us first."
―Jorad Pressor[1]

Jorad's father Dillian Pressor was weakly Force-sensitive.

While on board Outbound Flight, the young Jorad formed a friendship with the Jedi Lorana Jinzler, calling her Jedi Lorana since he didn't know how to pronounce Jinzler. It was one of the reasons he didn't kill her brother, Dean Jinzler when he was caught in the trap that was set by the Survivors. He even hoped to became a Jedi but his force-potential wasn't enough. Later, when the vessel crashed into the unnamed planet in the Redoubt, Pressor and his family were safe in the supply core along with other survivors. They then formed a self-sufficient colony, and Pressor eventually became the Guardian of the colony, helping to protect them from intruders.

In the year 22 ABY, Jorad served as the guardian of the colony and used his Force-sensitive niece Evlyn Tabory in his duties, and helped his sister cover up her child's Jedi potential to avoid having her being exiled to Dreadnaught-Three. After the events with Jorus C'baoth, Jorad held strong dislike for the Jedi and did everything they could to hide Evlyn's special abilities. With the arrival of some strangers at the remains of the Flight project, Jorad again used his niece against the newcomers to successfully lure them into a trap. He thus held the strangers trapped in the turbolifts, and only their alleged ambassador with his companions were allowed to accompany Jorad back to the colony.[1]

Meanwhile, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker managed to escape from an Imperial prison and journeyed to the Redoubt, where they encountered the Outbound Colony.[1]

The colonists, the Jedi, the Chiss and the Empire of the Hand, were soon thereafter attacked by the Vagaari, who had originally presented themselves as Geroons, in order to avenge their defeat and humiliation during the Battle of the Redoubt.[1]

Eventually, Jorad and the other colonists were evacuated to the Empire of the Hand.
