Drake Lo'gaan

Drake Lo'gaan was a Human male Jedi Padawan and Commander during the Clone Wars. He trained under Jedi Master Roron Corobb.

Padawan Learner
Accepted into the Jedi Temple and the Jedi Order as an infant, Drake Lo'gaan, as per normal protocol, was trained as a youngling in the hopes of becoming a Jedi Knight's Padawan. At the age of eleven, he fared well in the Jedi Temple Apprentice Tournament, garnering the notice of Jedi Master Roron Corobb. The Ithorian Master accepted Lo'gaan as his apprentice.

The Clone Wars
Together, Master and Padawan embarked on several missions during the galaxy-wide Clone Wars. During Corobb's final mission, however, the pair would be separated. The Confederacy of Independent Systems invaded Coruscant, with the intent of capturing Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Corobb was one of the Masters tasked with defending the Chancellor, while Lo'gaan was left to fight the invading armies. As the battle began to wind down, Lo'gaan, on a speeder bike, sped to the Chancellor's safe house and engaged a cadre of General Grievous' IG-100 MagnaGuards. While he was fighting them, however, a group of Clone commandos under the command of Stass Allie dispatched the droids. Allie, one of the other Masters tasked with defending the Chancellor, had lost contact with Masters Corobb, Moudama, and Ti.

Waiting to gain entry to the safe house, the group heard a scream of anguish from within. Realizing that Grievous must be inside, the group hurriedly entered into the bunker, searching for the occupants. Meeting up with Mace Windu, they reached the main area of the bunker, only to find Shaak Ti incapacitated, with Masters Corobb and Moudama slain. Neither Grievous of Palpatine were in sight. Lo'gaan, distraught, cradled the body of his dead master. Palpatine would eventually be rescued by Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Confederacy forced to retreat.

Reversal of fortune
As the Clone Wars continued to rage, Lo'gaan stayed at the Temple, master-less, but he resolved to personally hunt down and destroy Grievous. He met Skywalker in the temple one day, and asked him if he could join in the hunt for Grievous on Utapau. Skywalker explained that Master Kenobi had been chosen to hunt the General instead, but the Hero With No Fear sympathised with Lo'gaan. Lo'gaan accompanied the Jedi Knight to the staging grounds, where Skywalker gave the Council's orders to Stass Allie. Allie was to deliver reinforcements to Felucia, where Shu Mai had released deadly toxins into the water supplies. Skywalker, making an executive decision, told Lo'gaan to go with Allie, and join the Felucia task force.

At Felucia, Lo'gaan met up with Masters Secura and Offee, the 327th Star Corps, as well as fellow Padawans Ekira and Zonder. The Padawans were tasked with securing a water supply station at Jiaozi, while the two masters dealt with the cities of Niango and Har Gau. Lo'gaan, showing initiative, devised a plan to lure away the Felucian resistance guarding the plant. The Selonian Zonder roared loudly, causing the Gossam and battle droid guards to attack. After a brief skirmish, Lo'gaan and the troops feigned a retreat, leading the enemy further into Felucia's jungles. They were able to reach the station before the planet wide toxins had reached it, allowing Ekira to halt the advance of the poisonous fumes. However, she was not able to access the other stations remotely.

It was at this point that Order 66 was broadcast from Coruscant, and executed against Secura and Offee. Drake and his companions, still in the water station, patched into the clone-cam feeds in time to witness the brutal execution of the order. Reeling from the sight, the Padawans then received the recall signal from the Temple beacon, though before they could act, they realized Commander Galle was approaching the station. Despite the seemingly insurmountable situation, the Padawans managed to escape the turncoat clone troopers, and ultimately fled the planet.

Fugitives from the Empire
"How long has it been since we evaded the clones on Felucia? Since we saw Barriss and Aayla murdered? It feels like years&hellip;I'm not even sure it's been months."

- Drake Lo'gaan

Branded as fugitives on Felucia as well as the rest of the Galaxy, the Padawans decided to return to Coruscant. Disguising themselves as ordinary citizens, the trio scavenged for money and shelter for weeks using whatever means necessary while hiding from the newly formed Galactic Empire. Following a scuffle with a squad of stormtroopers in the Uscru Entertainment District&mdash;during which Drake almost gave away their identity as Jedi by using the Force in combat&mdash;the group decided to rethink its position. Using the alias of Jodd Sonta, Drake began working for COMPNOR, though only to learn more about the Empire's agenda.

During his time at COMPNOR, Drake discovered that Tremayne, once a respected Jedi Knight, had been lured to the dark side and was now a high-ranking Imperial Inquisitor. He also discovered that Zonder, who had recently taken a job heading for Byss, was in danger. He was informed by a dockworker that all aliens were actually heading for slavery&mdash;most likely to work on the top secret Death Star project.

With Ekria, Drake infiltrated the transport Zonder was taking to head for Byss and along the way, encountered Tremayne, who learned that "Jodd Sonta" did not even exist. While Ekria went on to warn Zonder and the other aliens, Drake and Tremayne engaged in a duel, with Drake emerging victorious and quickly escaping with the others.

Over the next few months Drake, Ekria, and Zonder kept a low profile in Coruscant's underworld as crimefighters. In one event, they rescued Kodo and Aleema Finn, an Omwati couple who were being attacked by thugs hired by Black Sun. The trio of Jedi realized they were dealing with Black Sun when they discovered the burns on Kodo Finn formed the crime syndicate's insignia.

Drake and Zonder went to warn the couple of who attacked them. Not long after meeting with them, they were ambushed by the bounty hunter Boushh. After eluding the bounty hunter, Finn revealed that he had past dealings with Black Sun, which was why he was being targeted now. The Jedi took the Finns to the Black Sun's leader, Xizor, and asked for him to forgive the Omwati. Xizor reluctantly agreed, but for more sinister reasons unknown to the Jedi.

The Dark Side
"The Selonian is dead. The girl is dead. You are all alone&hellip; perhaps the last of the Jedi. It is useless to resist. Give in to your anger. Give in to your hatred." "Gladly."

- Darth Vader and Drake Lo'gaan

Following the death of Zonder at the hands of Darth Vader, Drake launched an attack on the Dark Lord of the Sith on Coruscant. However, his airspeeder was destroyed, and he was knocked unconscious by Vader's Noghri bodyguards. Coming to, Drake found himself at Vader's mercy, held captive inside his shuttle. Vader began twisting Drake's view of the Jedi, using Palpatine's fabrication of the Jedi Rebellion to make Drake believe Roron Corobb was killed by the Jedi, in order to allow Grievous to escape Coruscant. Drake refused to be taken in by this, though he began to have his doubts when Vader told him that Obi-Wan Kenobi killed Anakin Skywalker.



Vader and Drake arrived on Tepasi, where the former Jedi was witness to the blinding of Orman Tagge at Vader's hand. It was at that point that Ekria revealed her presence, throwing an electromagnetic grenade that temporarily incapacitated Vader and disabled Drake's cuffs. However, a squad of stormtroopers shot Ekria down, to Drake's horror. In his anger, he used the Force to hurl the stormtroopers across the room, before collapsing in despair.

After the Noghri departed to chase down Tagge's aides, Vader turned to Drake, imploring him to give in to the dark side. Faced with the blade of Vader's lightsaber, Drake accepted&hellip;though only on his terms. Tapping in to his anger, Drake sent a piece of machinery flying at Vader, and used the distraction to take the Dark Lord's lightsaber. Armed, Drake faced down Zonder's killer, vowing that he would pay for the deaths he had caused. Drake was wounded in the battle and was at Vader's mercy, but Vader gave Drake a chance to join him. Drake refused, and was impaled by Darth Vader. However, the lightsaber used by Vader was actually a harmless training saber used by Drake. He survived and escaped, with Vader believing he was dead. According to the Imperial records, both Drake and Ekira were thought to be deceased.
