Olana Chion was a Human Jedi Knight and General during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Born on Kegan in 45 BBY as O-Lana, she was a point of contention between the Jedi Order and the Benevolent Guides. The Order sought to have her trained as a Jedi Knight, whereas the Guides foresaw that fraternization with the Jedi and the Republic would lead to devastation in the years to come. As a result, they kidnapped O-Lana, but their efforts were thwarted by the Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Siri Tachi. O-Lana was then accepted as a Jedi initiate, and taken to Coruscant.

Growing up in the Jedi Temple on the capital, O-Lana took the name of "Olana Chion" in order to more suitably fit in with her peers. When she came of age, Chion was apprenticed to Avan Post, who would train her for a decade. During the Clone Wars, Chion chose not to lead troops into battle, but devoted her attention to the refugees of ravaged worlds. When Order 66 was implemented in 19 BBY, Chion was amongst the first victims slain, perishing in Darth Vader's attack on the Temple.
