Que-Mars Redath-Gom was discovered to be Force-sensitive at an early age and was sent to the CoruscantJedi Temple for training in the ways of the Force. Growing up within the Temple's academy, Redath-Gom was independent from his species noted reliance on the Quay totem that traditionally decided the fate of his people. Ostracized by fellow Weequay because of this, Redath-Gom was seemingly unaffected as he graduated the academy and was selected by a Jedi Master for training as a Padawan. Navigating his way through his apprenticeship, Redath-Gom forged for himself a green-bladed lightsaber using crystals from Ilum before preparing to undergo the Trials of Knighthood. Passing the trials successfully, Redath-Gom was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council and ready to begin his service to the Republic independently.[1]
Because of Redath-Gom's independence from the Quay totem, his people held no esteem for him, despite his service to the Republic as a Jedi Knight. Even after word of his demise in battle reached his homeworld, the general Weequay populace did not celebrate his life as he was viewed as a non-believer and a heretic.[1]
