Daeshara'cor

Daeshara'cor was a green female Twi'lek Jedi Knight of the New Jedi Order.

Biography
Orphaned when her mother was enslaved on Ryloth, Daeshara'cor spent time in the planet's starports learning the life of a fringer. Eventually, she became one of the first Twi'lek trainees at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, although she never released her anger over the loss of her mother. During her training, she scoffed at Kyp Durron's disrespect for Luke Skywalker's methods. Daeshara'cor participated in one of the Jedi's rare visits to Ryloth where she discovered and rescued Alema and Numa Rar.

With her abiding hatred for slavery transferred onto the Yuuzhan Vong, and with the death of her close friend Miko Reglia, Daeshara'cor began looking for a way to destroy the Vong. Searching the Jedi Academy's Coruscant databases, she researched the Eye of Palpatine, Death Star, Sun Crusher and Darksaber. Vanishing en route to Bimmisaari, she diverted to Vortex, home of Qwi Xux, one of the designers of the Sun Crusher. With no luck there, she continued onto Garos IV to continue her research in the University of Garos archives. As her intentions became clear to Luke Skywalker, he was forced to pursue her—even though he had shared similar thoughts about using a Galaxy Gun against the Vong. Setting out with Mara Jade, Anakin Solo and Mirax Terrik, they tracked her to Garos IV. There, Anakin and a crusty old spacer Chalco, managed to find her, only to be captured by her. Anakin managed to subdue her, and with Luke's aid, convince her that what she was doing was wrong.



She and Anakin Solo fought together at the Battle of Ithor, in which Daeshara'cor nearly let herself go to the dark side over the death of Miko Reglia. During the fighting, she was bitten by an amphistaff and poisoned. She could not be cured as Corran Horn was. As she stated, "Humans and Twi'leks have different biology..." The poison could not be cured in her as it was in humans. Anakin blamed himself, echoing his guilt over the death of Chewbacca. As she died, Daeshara'cor assured the young Jedi that both her and Chewbacca's deaths were not his fault&mdash;rather that they died in service to life.

With that, Daeshara'cor faded into nothingness and became one with the Force.
