Shoaneb Culu

Shoaneb Culu left her homeworld of Alpheridies to become a Jedi, planning to return one day to found a Jedi academy there. She wished to bring Jedi training to the already force-sensitive Miraluka, as few of them chose to pursue the Jedi Way.

Shoaneb eventually found training on Ossus as a student of Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Her thirst for knowledge was insatiable, and was at times mistaken for a desire for power. Master Vodo himself mistook her overly inquisitive nature at first. However, Shoaneb confided in him her desire to become a teacher so that she could bring the way of the Jedi to her homeworld. With this reassurance, Master Vodo spent a great deal of time instructing Shoaneb in Jedi lore.



Though Shoaneb Culu's knowledge of lore and understanding of the Force were beyond reproach, her technique was lacking. This served to create much doubt in the young Jedi, but with the counsel of Master Vodo, she would come to let go of her expectations and trust in the Force. Confidence would continue to be a weak point in the Jedi, but Shoaneb's tranquility in her desire to prove herself convinced Master Vodo to allow her to join Kith Kark, Dace Diath, and Nomi Sunrider on their mission to Onderon.

As a Jedi Shadow, Shoaneb fought in the Naddist Uprising and the Great Sith War, often flying a S-100 Stinger-class starfighter. She was one of the few Jedi flying a starfighter against Naga Sadow's old flagship. She died when Aleema Keto and Crado set off a supernova in the Battle of Kemplex IX.
