Taselda

Taselda was a Jedi Knight during the waning days of the Old Republic

She was sent to Nam Chorios alongside fellow Jedi Knight Beldorian shortly before the Great Jedi Purge. For an unknown reason after arriving on the planet both fell to the dark side of The Force.

The ensuing power struggle ended in Beldorian's favor, Taselda was badly injured and lost her lightsaber, whilst the Hutt gained control of the planet Taselda was cast into relative poverty and took to maintaining order in the area known as Hweg Shul.

The two remained on the planet, unharmed during the Jedi Purge, until the arrival of Jedi Knight Callista Ming in the year 13 ABY. Taselda attempted to coerce the Jedi Knight into helping her overthrow Beldorian and his allies. However Callista was unsuccessful and Taselda was forced to wait for another more powerfull tool to use.

When Luke Skywalker arrived at Nam Chorios in search of his sister Leia Organa Solo, Taselda recognised his superior strength and sought to use a mixture of mind altering drugs and her mastery of The Force in an attempt to use Skywalker in her quest. Taselda's plan was once again unsuccesful and she was slain by Skywalker.
