Oppo Rancisis/Legends

Oppo Rancisis (206 BBY - 19 BBY) was a Thisspiasian Jedi Master who had been the padawan of Master Yaddle. As an infant, Oppo Rancisis was offered to the Jedi Order by his mother, the Blood Monarch of Thisspias. He had a rare force power called Battle Meditation. The only other known Jedi with that abilitie was Bastila Shan of the Old Republic 4,000 years ago. However Rancisis' Battle Meditation was much more powerful than Bastilas'.

Twenty years later, he inherited the title as Monarch of Thisspias when his younger sister was killed. He declined the role, however, abdicating the throne in order to serve the entire galaxy among the Jedi Order.

He was a member of the Jedi Council during the events of the Battle of Naboo right through the duration of the Clone Wars. The martial Oppo Rancisis possessed an unerring tactical mind and was a master of Battle Meditation.

Rancisis was also master of Malacia, a Jedi technique that induces a powerful dizziness and nausea in enemies. It is completely incapacitating like a hammer blow, but does not cause any lasting physical damage, and so is not considered a Dark Side power. Oppo taught the technique at the Jedi Temple for over two decades, but only a few other Jedi ever came close to mastering the difficult discipline.

Oppo commanded a force during the Battle of Saleucami that consisted of Jedi Master Quinlan Vos as his deputy, with Jedi Knights A'Sharad Hett, Aayla Secura, Xiaan Asmeru, K'Kruhk and Jeisel as support.

During the battle Oppo was murdered by the turncoat Jedi Sora Bulq. A bunch of henchmen were put out to attack Oppo, and when he defeated them all, Sora Bulq dove out from the darkess, and put his saber through Rancisis' death, at the same time, telling him that the Henchmen were just a distraction, so Sora Could kill him. Rancisis' death threw the Republic forces on Saleucami into disarray, as without Rancisis' tactics and use of Battle Meditation, his troops faced defeat against the more numerous Separatist forces.
