Biography
Jor Drakas, a Twi'lek male, was a Jedi Knight who served the Galactic Republic as a Jedi General during the Clone Wars. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY, the Confederate leader Count Dooku sent General Sev'rance Tann&mdash;a Chiss Dark Jedi serving the Confederacy&mdash;to the abandoned Confederate base at Kaer Orbital Platform. There, Tann was assigned to rebuild the Separatist Droid Army in secret from the Republic. However, Tann's operation was discovered, and Drakas soon led a task force of clone troopers against Tann. After their Acclamator-class assault ship landed on the platform, Drakas' troops established a base of operations and began making raids on Tann's territory. After several small skirmishes, Tann chose to retreat, but not before finishing the construction of a considerable amount of droids.

Drakas was then assigned to guard the Republic energy world of Sarapin after it became known that the Separatists would attempt to secure Sarapin's natural energy reserves. On Sarapin, Drakas occupied the Citadel located on Mount Corvast, the planet's capital.

It was not long before Tann's forces approached Sarapin, destroyed orbital defenses and landed on the planet. Using the stolen Republic Decimator technology&mdash;a ground vehicle equipped with a powerful laser&mdash;Tann overwhelmed Mount Corvast and destroyed the Citadel. Drakas survived its destruction and attacked Tann with his lightsaber. However, he was quickly slain by the Chiss general. With Drakas' death, Sarapin fell into the hands of the Confederacy.

Sarapin, however, was soon recaptured, thanks to the efforts of the Jedi Knight Echuu Shen-Jon. Shen-Jon was responsible for Tann's death later on, when he killed her on the planet Krant.

Personality and traits
