BiographyEdit

Discovered to be Force-sensitive at a young age, Sarrissa Jeng was given to the Coruscant Jedi Temple for induction within the Jedi Order's academy. Trained in the ways of the Force, Jeng eventually graduated and was selected as a Padawan by a Jedi Master. Eventually building herself a blue-bladed lightsaber and passing her Trials of Knighthood, Jeng was made a Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council.^[1]

Active during the Separatist Crisis, a growing division between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Jedi Jeng was dispatched as the leader of a six-member Jedi task force to the Gotal colony world Atzerri. There, Jeng and her team of diplomats were to negotiate the release of Emissary Nathanjo Nirrelz, a Gotal representative taken hostage by the Roshu Sune during the battle of Antar 4. During the negotiations, a group of unaffiliated vigilantes opened fire on the Roshu Shone guerrillas. This attack panicked the Gotal Roshu Shone, who opened fire on their captives. Leaping to defend the unarmed hostages, Jeng and her fellow Jedi managed to subdue the guerrillas on their commuter hopper, but not before Jedi Kaloor Cofi and Antyard-Wo Shissan lost their lives. Emerging from the firefight, Jedi Jeng and Kerrshnek escorted Emissary Nirrelz to safety while the other Jedi helped transport the surviving hostages to medcenters in the nearby cities of Skreeka and Talos.^[2]

After the fighting ended, the surviving Jedi departed for Aleen and the Order's chapter house there for the funerals of Jedi Cofi and Shissan. Meanwhile across the HoloNet News network, the Jedi were heavily criticized by Gotal Foreign Affairs Commune leader Shagrad Loset for what he saw as meddling in an internal affair. Rebuffing this assault on the Order, Jedi Master and High Council member Shaak Ti commended the Jedi effort on Atzerri.^[1]

It wasn't long before tensions between the Confederacy and the Republic came to a head. When the Confederacy captured Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Naboo Senator Padmé Amidala, Master of the Order Mace Windu assembled all available Jedi in a massive strike team. Stationed at the Coruscant Temple at the time, Jeng answered Master Windu's call and departed for the Separatist foundry world, Geonosis, with 200 of her colleagues. Landing on the dusty plains of Geonosis, Jeng and her comrades stormed the Petranaki arena and engaged the Separatist Droid Army on the arena floor. While Jeng managed to hold her own for a time, she was eventually overrun by the sheer number of droids and was slain by blasterfire.^[1]

Powers and abilitiesEdit

Sarrissa Jeng wielded a blue-bladed lightsaber and was a practitioner of Form VI: Niman. Like many Niman practitioners she perished in the battle of Geonosis when her technique was unable to stand up to the storm of blaster bolts fired from the countless droids in the arena.^[3]
