Lanoree Brock

Lanoree Brock was a Human female Je'daii Ranger that lived during the Force Wars; the sister of Dalien Brock.

Early life
Lanoree Brock was a Force-sensitive Human female and the daughter of two Je'daii Masters. Growing up around the Temple of Arts, called Bodhi, on Tython with her younger brother Dalien, Brock developed a protective bond with her brother and the two studied together at Padawan Kesh before setting out on their Great Journey together. .

Great Journey
Lanoree's Great Journey begins when she is teenaged. Lanoree and Dalien travel together to Qigong Kesh, the Temple of Force Skills, surviving encounters with hook hawks and silik lizards along the way. There, they train under Master Ter'cay, who takes them to the Silent Desert, using Force telepathy to communicate with Lanoree. During this time, Lanoree finds that Dalien is unable to hear Ter'cay in the Force. While at Qigong Kesh, Lanoree expands her knowledge of the Force, learning suggestion, telepathy, and control.

After studying at Qigong Kesh, Lanoree and Dalien travel to Stav Kesh, the Temple of Martial Arts. En route, they are attacked by a flame tygah. Though Lanoree intends to let her brother defeat the creature himself to avoid showing him his inadequacy, she is forced to intervene when Dalien's blaster misfires, and she uses the Force to drive off the beast. At Stav Kesh, the two train with Master Tave, first learning about breathing and its importance to fighting. Throughout their training, Lanoree tries to keep Dalien from fleeing the Force.

In one incident, when Master Kin'ade leads a training session that requires the Journeyers to fight blindfolded against a Darrow sphere, Dalien ends up shooting wildly with his blaster, injuring Lanoree and potentially other Journeyers before he is knocked unconscious by Kin'ade. After the incident, Kin'ade, Lanoree, and Dalien are all asked to give their accounts of the event to Temple Master Lha-Mi. On their last day at Stav Kesh, a group of Journeyers, including Lanoree and Dalien, are asked to fight each other. Lanoree finds herself holding back and not using the Force against Dalien, but ultimately knocks him back with a Force punch, ending the fight. Before their departure, Lha-Mi warns Lanoree to be wary of her brother, saying that Dalien is growing increasingly unstable and dangerous.

Lanoree and Dalien then travel to Anil Kesh, the Temple of Science. Along the way, they cross the Moon Channel unescorted, working together to survive attacks by a gelfish swarm and a sea serpent. Upon arrival, Lanoree feels sick due to the Force Storms caused by the Chasm, which lies beneath the temple, but Dalien is unaffected, due to his lack of Force sensitivity. Lanoree finds her calling in science and alchemy at Anil Kesh, and learns from Master Dam-Powl, who says Lanoree has the opportunity to be her greatest pupil. In the process of immersing herself in her studies, she begins to put herself before Dalien, and she begins to learn the alchemy of flesh from Dam-Powl.

During Lanoree's stay at Anil Kesh, Dalien and Lanoree are separated for four days, while Dalien goes to the Riftlands with Master Quan-Jang. However, Dalien flees into the Abyss of Ruh. Master Quan-Jang and other Je'daii return Dalien to Anil Kesh, where Dalien meets Lanoree and another Journeyer, Skott Yun. Yun attempts to arrest Dalien, but Dalien kills Yun and escapes. Lanoree pursues her brother alone across the Red Desert and into the Old City, but hears her brother scream and finds only his bloodied, shredded clothes, leading her and the Je'daii to believe Dalien has been killed.

Lanoree continues on her Great Journey without Dalien, eventually ending her Journey at Mahara Kesh, where she learns about using the Force for healing.

Jedi Ranger
At some point Brock was a negotiator on Ska Gora and before she was able to finish the negotiations there one of the parties were killed and forests were set on fire.

Negotiations on Zerist
Around 25,793 BBY Brock and fellow Je'daii Ranger Hawk Ryo were sent to Zerist by the Je'daii Council to prevent fighting between the Dessain Mining company and its miners, who were fighting over whether the miners would get a vote in how the company was run, and to find the kidnapped girl Oma Dessain. As Eomin Dessain, the leader of Dessain's management, refused to allow anyone who wasn't family to run the company, Oma was to marry Brom Santis, the leader of the miners Arko Santis' oldest son, as the marriage would allow Brom to be the voice of the miners. Brock acted as in intermediate to both parties while Ryo searched for Oma. Brock was later commed by Ryo who told her that it was possible that his crime lord brother, Baron Volnos Ryo, may have been involved in the girl's kidnapping and that he might have found where they were holding her.

After discovering that both parties were at their breaking points Brock fired her slugthrower into the ceiling to gather everyone's attention and suggested that they restart their negotiations. After Ryo rescued Oma Betolo, Eomin's servant, poisoned Brock's drink, Vaisamond red wine, in an attempt to kill her. She used the Force to stop him as he attempted to escape, and Betolo revealed the reason he betrayed the Dressians' and stated that with an luck Oma was dead. Ryo later returned Oma to Eomin and Oma refused to marry Brom. As she sympathized with Oma, Brock suggested that both family participate in the practice called Fostering.

The practice would have both children live with the others family for six months, allowing Brom to be the voice of the miners and Oma would learn about the miners live's firsthand. After both parties agreed to the suggestion and the details were worked out Brock and Ryo later met at the local spaceport and went their separate ways. Brock was returning to Tython after being summoned back by the Je'daii Council for her next mission, and Ryo was heading out to Furies Gate to meditate.

Personality and traits
Lanoree Brock was a human female with auburn hair, gray eyes, and tan skin. Brock sometimes wore exotic accessories from the many planets she had visited during her travels as a Ranger, including scarves from Kalimahr, bangles with precious stones from Ska Gora, and a leather sword sheath made from the skin of a screech lizard, from one of Obri's moons. At six feet tall, Brock believed that she cut an imposing figure.

As a child, Brock was very protective of her younger brother Dalien, and proud when she was able to save her brother's life. She was pained that her brother rejected the Force, and constantly tried to bring him to embrace the Force as she had. During her Great Journey, Brock believed that her parents had made her brother her responsibility and felt a strong sense of obligation to her brother, chasing him alone to the Old City when he killed a fellow Journeyer and fled Anil Kesh.

As a Ranger, Brock enjoyed exerting herself physically, believing that strength in the Force was tied to strength in body. She also enjoyed challenging herself, choosing to manually calculate optimum flight paths as a way to test herself, rather than simply relying on her computer. She also felt possessive of her Peacemaker, viewing it as her home and heavily customizing both the ship and her ship droid, Ironholgs for functionality. Brock preferred to keep to herself; she was uncomfortable with having someone else aboard her ship, and enjoyed talking to herself or Ironholgs.

Brock was haunted by the result of the negotiations on Ska Gora. Brock believed that Oma Dessain didn't have to participate in the arranged marriage, in order for the miners to have a voice in how Dessain Mining would be run.

Power and abilities
Lanoree Brock was proficient in the use of telekinesis.
