Streen

Streen was an elderly member of the New Jedi Order. A Human male from Bespin, Streen was a tibanna gas prospector, using his Force talents to detect eruptions of tibanna gas. Due to his untrained Force-sensitivity, Streen was not killed during the Jedi Purge.

Streen's mind was constantly bombarded with the thoughts and feelings of other sapients, leading him to seek a life of isolation in the abandoned floating city of Tibannopolis, where he found companions in the rawwks.

Streen was already advanced in years when Luke Skywalker, accompanied by Gantoris, came to Bespin to recruit Streen to be a Jedi. Gantoris demonstrated the use of the Force by manipulating the rawwks, which deeply disturbed Streen; nonetheless, Streen was attracted by Luke's promise to teach him mental discipline so that he could tolerate the company of other sapient beings.

Streen was one of Luke's original twelve students at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, demonstrating a natural talent for manipulating wind, weather, and creatures of the air, and found a good friend in Kirana Ti. Together, the two Jedi explored the Massassi temples of the Yavin 4 jungles. Exar Kun attempted to use Streen to kill Luke, but the Jedi cadets collectively defeated Kun, whom almost consumed Streen.

When Dal Konur turned to the dark side and set out to massacre the Imperial Remnant's Moff Council, he impersonated Streen.

Shortly after becoming Jedi Knights, Streen and Kirana Ti accompanied Dorsk 82 and Kyp Durron to the planet Corbos at the request of Master Skywalker; there, after Durron had killed a Leviathan of Corbos, Streen and the other Jedi discovered the Leviathan's nest of larvae in the ruins of the mining colony's operations center. The first Leviathan's death awoke an even larger and more powerful Leviathan, and it taxed the efforts of all four of the Jedi to defeat the monster.

Streen set about to decipher the tablets known as the Books of Massassi, which revealed many of the self-perceived insignificance of the Massassi people of Yavin 4, a desire for perfection that had left them vulnerable to the dark side domination of Exar Kun. At the time of the Black Fleet Crisis, Streen had completed the translation of sixteen of these tablets.

As a Jedi Master, Streen was often left in charge of the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 while Luke was on missions. At the Praxeum, he served as an instructor alongside Kam Solusar, Tionne, Ikrit, Kyle Katarn, and Vima Da-Boda. Streen was one of many Jedi to attend the Temple wedding of Luke to Mara Jade.

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Streen was not on Yavin 4 when the Praxeum was attacked by the Peace Brigade, but the Jedi students managed to evacuate the moon with the help of Anakin Solo and Talon Karrde, although during the evacuation Master Ikrit was lost. Streen did join the trainees upon the Errant Venture and later at the hidden refuge within the Maw.

At the war's end, Streen accompanied Kirana Ti and Damaya to Dathomir, which had been occupied and ravaged by the Yuuzhan Vong. The three Jedi hoped to help the world recover and heal. They ultimately hoped to establish a new Jedi Praxeum there to train the many Dathomiri Force-sensitives in the ways of the Jedi.
