Jori Daragon

Jori Daragon (c. 5,020 BBY&mdash;) was a key figure in the Great Hyperspace War.

Living on Koros Major
As children, Jori and her brother Gav were chosen for Jedi training, but they refused, choosing instead to continue working as hyperspace navigators with their parents Hok and Timar. When Hok and Timar were killed while delivering supplies to Teta's soldiers in the Battle of Kirrek, Gav and Jori took the Starbreaker 12 and began a life mapping out new hyperspace routes.

After severely damaging the Starbreaker 12 while flying through the Starswarm Cluster, Gav and Jori soon found themselves with a price on their heads, put on by Merchant Lord Ssk Kahorr after one of his drone ships crashed into Primus Goluud while using the Goluud Corridor, one of the Daragons' hyperspace lanes. After narrowly escaping a pair of assassins with the help of Jedi Knights Odan-Urr and Memit Nadill, Gav and Jori stole back the impounded Starbreaker 12 and, pursued by Cinnagar security forces, punched in random coordinates, sending them to Korriban, the heart of the Sith Empire (this route would later become know as the Daragon Trail).

Discovering the Sith Empire
After arriving in the system, Gav and Jori were immediately taken prisoner, as the Sith wildly debated over what to do with them. They were locked in the icy, underground prison in the Sith Fortress on Ziost, where the Daragons soon learned from the Sith Lord Simus that they were to be executed as soon as possible. However, in the first step of his elaborate plan to become Dark Lord, Naga Sadow and his loyal group of Massassi attacked the Ziost prison, freeing Gav and Jori, and making it look like an attack that was orchestrated and carried out by the Republic. Gav and Jori were sent to Sadow's private fortress on Khar Shian, as Naga Sadow was successfully crowned Dark Lord of the Sith, in lieu of the "Republic attack."

Shortly afterward, Jori was separated from her brother, being sent to Khar Shian's icy host planet of Khar Delba, specifically Naga Sadow's decoy fortress there. Sadow assured her that she was not being kept as a prisoner, despite the meak living conditions he presented her with. She would occasionally receive hologram messages from Gav, ensuring her that he was fine.

Around this time, Naga Sadow sent his Massassi warriors to Ziost and stole back the Starbreaker 12, though they were closely followed by the battle fleet of Ludo Kressh, Sith rival of Naga Sadow. Kressh and his companions attacked Khar Delba, as the Dark Lord told Jori to leave and save herself. Though hesitant to leave the sector without Gav, with no other choice, Jori flew the Starbreaker 12 back to the Republic, unaware of the homing beacon Naga Sadow had planted on her ship.

Great Hyperspace War
When Jori arrived on Koros Major, she was immediately arrested for a plethora of crimes, most notably stealing the Starbreaker 12, and was sentenced to slave work on the colony world of Ronika, with the Starbreaker 12 being put into the possession of Ssk Kahorr as compensation for his damages. She was easily able to escape Ronika on an ore shuttle and flew back to Koros Major, where she infiltrated Empress Teta's fortress and informed her of the impending Sith invasion. The Empress was hesitant at first to believe Jori, but Odan-Urr confirmed her story, explaining that it was just like the visions he'd been having. After hearing this, Teta began to rally the Republic's forces.

As the Sith Empire's invasion of Koros Major began, Jori was given a lightsaber from Odan-Urr, and headed to Aarrba's repair dock to find a ship. As she entered, she saw Gav and his Massassi bodyguards standing over the body of Aarrba the Hutt. Jori assumed the worst, and attackd Gav, but he was able to flee, heading for Primus Goluud. Jori followed him and saw Naga Sadow activate solar flares all over the giant star, killing Gav instantly, who was trapped in Sadow's meditation sphere. Jori and her accompanying fleet of Teta's ships attempted to pursue Sadow's fleet, but the Dark Lord was able to escape to Yavin 4.

After the war ended, Jori became the owner of Aarrba's repair dock, undoubtedly living happily for the rest of her years.
