"They say Jaing tracked Grievous in the war. Master assassin, sniper, general pain in the backside. Don't underestimate him."
―Boba Fett[src]

Jaing Skirata, originally known as Null-10 or simply N-10, was a Null-class Advanced Recon Commando in the Grand Army of the Republic. After the Clone Wars, he became a Mandalorian of Clan Skirata.

He was named after the Mandalorian training master Jaing.

[edit] Biography

[edit] Clone Wars

According to Kal Skirata, Jaing was an "artist amongst data deceivers" and could, along with fellow Null Kom'rk, "track a flitnat across the galaxy." His weapon of choice was the Verpine shatter gun.

Due to high casualties among the Clone Commandos in the Battle of Geonosis, new special forces troops were needed and Jaing assisted in the training the Covert Ops clone troopers, who were ordinary troopers who had shown special forces potential.

As of a year into the Clone Wars, Jaing was, as Fi put it, "cannoned up and hiking with extreme prejudice in the Bakura sector". Along with Kom'rk and clone shadow troopers, he was one of the Clone Intelligence units responsible for locating General Grievous on Utapau. They did this as early as 21 BBY, but Jaing felt that the information had came to them too easily and that someone wanted them to know that Grievous was based there, so he didn't report this information to his superiors until the end of the Clone Wars.

Later that year, he accompanied Kal Skirata in transporting an injured Fi aboard the Aay'han to Mandalore. While there, Walon Vau asked Jaing if he would consider looking after his pet strill, Mird, if anything happened to him, as Jaing had always seemed less repelled by the creature than the rest of the Nulls. He agreed, putting Vau's mind at rest. After returning to Coruscant Jaing, along with Mereel Skirata investigated a bug in the treasury system. Whilst there, he openly insulted who he and Mereel suspected to be a Republic Intelligence spy after she addressed him simply as 'clone'.


[edit] Later Life

Jaing survived the Clone Wars, and lived well past the end of the Galactic Civil War, apparently severing his relationship with the Galactic Empire and becoming assimilated into Mandalorian culture. He took the name "Jaing Skirata", becoming a full member of Clan Skirata.

In 40 ABY, when Mirta Gev first saw Boba Fett unmasked, she recognized Fett's appearance as identical to that of a gray-armored Mandalorian bounty hunter she had met previously. This gloved Mandalorian clone claimed to be a clone trooper who had fought at the Battle of Geonosis. Fett quickly recognized that in order to be alive in 40 ABY, the clone would have to be biologically 140 years old due to the accelerated aging of the clone troopers, yet he appeared to fit his chronological age.

In addition, the gray gloves the clone wore were very likely made of Kaminoan skin, linking the clone with the disappearance and death of Kaminoan cloning scientist Ko Sai, who had been captured and brutally dismembered near the end of the Clone Wars. Her research on clone aging had disappeared with her. Fett was certain that this clone had made use of it to reverse the aging process and determined to track down the clone in order to see if that research could be used to heal his ailing body.

The clone also claimed to be a part of Clan Skirata and carried a three-sided knife, almost certainly the one which had belonged to Kal Skirata.

Boba would later discover that this clone was none other than Jaing himself. Jaing had indeed found Ko Sai's data, but he wasn't the only one of his brothers to fix the ageing gene, his fellow brothers also fixed their advanced aging, he was one of many of his brothers.However, Jaing arranged for Fett to be cured via a bone marrow transplant. A Mandalorian was sent to Boba's place with a small item, which was to be inserted into Boba's chest bone. Jaing kept his word, saving Fett's life.

He later appeared at the wedding of Mirta and Ghes Orade, along with his pet strill, Mird.

Following the pact that the Mandalorians signed with the Verpine, the Imperial Remnant launched a nanovirus specifically targeting Boba Fett into the atmosphere of Mandalore. The nanovirus killed anything with Fett DNA which also included Jaing although his whereabouts was not known at the time of deployment.
