Terena Adare

Terena Adare was the Agricultural Administrator of Dantooine during the Jedi Civil War, one of the leaders of the Galactic Republic's attempts to colonize the planet.

After Darth Malak's devastation of Dantooine in 3,956 BBY, which badly damaged the Jedi Enclave, eliminating the Jedi presence on the planet, Adare worked hard to ensure the survival of what was left of the settlers. She sat upon Khoonda, a government tasked with protecting the settlers and regulating their day-to-day affairs—a task formerly entrusted to the Jedi—and was proclaimed the Administrator.

Realizing that the militia corps alone were not enough to ensure Khoonda's safety, Adare secretly maintained contacts with Jedi Master Vrook Lamar, a former member of the Dantooine Jedi Council. Unlike most settlers, she trusted the Jedi, remembering the good they did when the Enclave stood firmly. However, she understood that the Jedi in general had exremely bad reputation on Dantooine, and even she could do nothing with it. However, a Jedi could probably redeem the Order's reputation...

The opportunity came in 3,951 BBY, the year when relationships between the settlers and Exchange mercenaries, led by Azkul, grew especially tense. Unbeknowst to Adare, the mercenaries captured Vrook, preparing to transport him to Nar Shaddaa to receive Goto's bounty. It was the time the Jedi Exile arrived on Dantooine, looking for Vrook, and the Administrator granted him the permission to search the ruins of the Enclave. In turn, the Exile agreed to help the settlers in any way possible.

Eventually, the Exile's investigation, which led to him freeing Master Vrook from the hands of the mercenaries, triggered an open conflict between them and Khoonda, leading to the First Battle of Dantooine, during which the mercenaries attempted to infiltrate Khoonda and kill Adare. During the conflict, the Exile significantly contributed to the defenses of Khoonda and, along with Vrook, bravely fought the mercenaries, restoring the settlers' faith in the Jedi.

After the battle, as Dantooine's safe and prosperous future was secured, Terena Adare did her best to ensure that the deeds of Vrook and the Exile, as well as the heritage of the Jedi, would not be forgotten.
