Lusa

Lusa (c. 9 ABY - 27 ABY) was a centaurform from the planet Chiron.

As a child, she was abducted and forced to train in the Empire Reborn movement on Hethrir's worldship. Once she was freed, she went back to her home planet, but the experience gave her a prejudice towards humans.

After hearing about an aliens-first movement called the Diversity Alliance, she joined up. However, during one mission, she felt a pang of guilt over an Alliance plot attempting to kill innocent humans, and saved them before the plan went through.

Fearing the wrath of Diversity Alliance leader Nolaa Tarkona, Lusa went to Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy, and there she formed a bond with Raynar Thul. She was the one who brought attention to the fact that the Diversity Alliance was not what it seemed, and she almost died when an undercover Alliance member shot her with a tranquilizer while resting in a river.

Lusa accompanied a New Republic senate team into exploring the claims made against the Diversity Alliance, and once the Alliance was defeated, she stayed on at the Academy to learn to focus her Force healing powers and become a Jedi.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Lusa was resting in a field on Chiron when a voxyn struck her down.
