"In the end, a Jedi-led task force moved in to settle the matter. Trench's ship was destroyed and we assumed he went down with it."

- Wullf Yularen to Anakin Skywalker, on Kep-She's actions at the Battle of Malastare Narrows

Kep-She was a Jedi Master of the Jedi Order who served the Galactic Republic during the Republic Era. After the Republic's devastating first defeat at the hands of Admiral Trench during the Battle of Malastare Narrows, she led a taskforce to defeat the Corporate Alliance's blockade around the planet Malastare. Her actions resulted in a victory for the Republic, as Trench's flagship was destroyed and the fearsome Harch admiral was presumed to have died with it. However, her legacy was somewhat tainted when Trench resurfaced and joined the Separatist navy during the Clone Wars. Wullf Yularen, a Republic admiral and veteran of the Battle of Malastare Narrows, discovered this at the Battle of Christophsis whilst the Republic attempted to break the blockade above the planet. Yularen informed his commanding Jedi General Anakin Skywalker of his discovery and after a brief recount of Kep-She's victory at Malastare, the duo engaged the blockade. Skywalker successfully bested Trench and destroyed the blockade above Christophsis, but the admiral survived another seemingly fatal defeat. He battled Skywalker again at Ringo Vinda and was finally killed by the Jedi Knight during the Battle for Anaxes.

Battle of Malastare Narrows
"A corporate fleet was blockading Malastare. A fleet led by Trench."

- Wullf Yularen to Anakin Skywalker, regarding the Battle of Malastare Narrows

Kep-She was a Force-sensitive individual who lived during the Republic Era. She was inducted into the Jedi Order and acquired the rank of Jedi Master. When a Corporate Alliance fleet blockaded the planet Malastare, a Galactic Republic taskforce led by officer Wullf Yularen engaged them, in what would come to be known as the Battle of Malastare Narrows. The Corporate fleet was commanded by the Harch Admiral Trench, who nearly eliminated the Republic forces. Yularen, however, survived and escaped the battle alongside other personnel. Kep-She then led a second taskforce to the planet in order to defeat the blockade. They were ultimately successful as Trench's flagship was destroyed and he was presumed dead.

Legacy
"If I remember my military history, wasn't he vaporized at the Battle of Malastare Narrows?"

- Anakin Skywalker, on Trench

Kep-She's actions at the Battle of Malastare Narrows were not forgotten. During the Clone Wars, Yularen recognized the crest of the presumed deceased Admiral Trench whilst attempting to destroy the Separatist blockade over Christophsis. This information, in combination with the Separatists' tactics they had demonstrated so far, allowed him to correctly deduced that the blockade was under the command of Trench, who had somehow survived the battle at Malastare. Yularen proceeded to explain his findings and relay his experience at the battle to Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, who remembered Trench's false demise thanks to his knowledge of military history. Skywalker was able to defeat the blockade, which seemingly resulted in the second presumed death of Trench. Once again, however, Trench survived a fatal-appearing defeat and fought against Skywalker at the Battle of Ringo Vinda. His final death would eventually come at the Battle for Anaxes, where Skywalker killed him once and for all.

Powers and abilities
Kep-She was a competent Jedi, enough so that she acquired the rank of Jedi Master. Her taskforce was able to best the tactics of Trench, a notably ruthless admiral, and destroy his flagship at the Battle of Malastare Narrows.

Behind the scenes
Kep-She was first indirectly mentioned in "Cat and Mouse", the sixteenth episode of the canon animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' second season, which first aired on March 20, 2010. In the episode's script, Kep-She was originally supposed to be directly mentioned as the Jedi who broke the blockade during the Battle of Malastare Narrows. However, her name was ultimately cut from the final episode. She was later identified in the corresponding episode guide's trivia gallery on StarWars.com.
