- "There are some citizens of the Republic, like myself, who believe the Jedi Order is not what it used to be. The Jedi have become warmongers. They have become military weapons. And they are killing when they should be keeping the peace."
- ―Letta Turmond to Ahsoka Tano, explaining her motives

Biography
Edit
During the Clone Wars, Letta Turmond was the wife of Jackar Bowmani, an Abyssin who worked for the Jedi Order as a weapons technician. Around 20 BBY Turmond started to become unimpressed with the Jedi, considering them to have become soldiers and weapons. Conspiring with another Jedi, she fed him Nano-droids in his food.[3][4] The explosive nano-droids transformed him into a walking bomb which effectively exploded in a hangar in the Jedi Temple. The explosion caused the deaths of six Jedi, and many temple workers and clones, and injured many more.
While the Jedi were investigating the attack, Turmond was protesting against the war at the entrance to the Jedi Temple. Identifying her husband in a hologram that Anakin Skywalker was showing to Cin Drallig, Turmond was brought into the temple for questioning. Expressing concern about her husband, Letta found out that the Jedi suspected him of bombing the temple. She denied that her husband could have been involved in the bombing and was released by the Jedi.
However, after a deeper investigation into the bombing by Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, they discovered that Bowmani had been blown up by nano-droids in his bloodstream. Skywalker and Tano proceeded to Turmond's house to see if they could find any traces of the nano droids. None were found on Turmond, but they were present in the food, so Skywalker and Tano decided to take Turmond back to the Temple for more questioning.
Once outside her residence, she attempted to escape the Jedi, knocking Tano over and jumping on a passing vehicle. She hopping from vehicle to vehicle, she was pursued by Tano and Skywalker. She jumped off into an alley, only to have Tano jump down in front of her and Skywalker not far behind. Trapped by the two Jedi and under increased suspicion due to a slip of her tongue, Turmond admitted to feeding the nano-droids to Bowmani.[3]
She was taken into custody by the Jedi, but was later moved to a Republic military base. From prison, Turmond requested to see Tano, refusing to talk to anyone else. She explained to Tano, that it was a Jedi, dissatisfied with the war, who had given her the idea to feed Bowmani the nano-droids. This Jedi wanted to make a statement to the Republic that the Jedi should not be leading the military effort. Turmond feared that she was in danger from this Jedi and only agreed to tell Tano their name if Tano protected her. However, before she could reveal the Jedi's name, she was force-choked by Barriss Offee and attempted to save Turmond but was unsuccessful and Turmond was killed.
Clone Commander Fox, who had seen the exchange on the security footage and believed Tano was choking the prisoner, arrived at the scene after Turmond was killed and arrested Tano for the murder.[4]
