Sanya

"There's more ways for a Jedi to help people than by leading an army."

- Sanya

Sanya was a Devaronian female member of the Agricultural Corps, serving as a delegate for the Galactic Republic.

Biography
During the Clone Wars, she was assigned to Ukio to help the local Ukians. She was liked by the local workers, who didn't see her as being part of the Republic. During her time Ukio, she met Padawan Tyzen Xebec, who was there to inspect the planet's defenses. She was insulted by him when he called her a "washout" because she did not make it as a Padawan, being assigned to the AgriCorps instead. She informed him that there were other ways to help people than leading an army.

Their conversation was cut short, however, as specially modified seismic tanks dropped into the atmosphere and released a mysterious black cloud that blocked out the sun's light. As the cloud spread, Sanya tried to keep the workers and animals from panicking. Xebec tried to reach Clone Commander Ganch, but found his signal was jammed. Sanya then realized the purpose of the cloud was to destroy the important Ukian crops.At the same time, the fleet above analyzed the black cloud and discovered it was soil from the planet Moorja, which would follow the sun's path and indeed destroy the crops. Soon, the decision was made by Liege, in conference with Reus and Captain Pharl McQuarrie, to drop the planet's shields and let the soil fall harmlessly to Ukio's surface. As soon as the shields opened, however, Vulture droids and Sheathipede-class transport shuttles descended toward the planet, despite the attempted intervention of the Republic fleet. Once on the planet, the Separatists, under the command of the tactical droid, Doctor, set up a device which affected organic beings' minds, and promptly drove the local herds of Eopies to thrash wildly.

Sanya asked Xebec if he could sense that something was wrong, but he admitted to her that he had shut himself off from the Force and was unable to sense the same disturbance she felt. He then noticed the fields had grown strangely quiet, and they were subsequently confronted by a group of Ukians wielding scythes and pitchforks. Xebec ignited his lightsaber and told Sanya to run. The two of them escaped the Ukians, only to come across another situation with Xebec's own troopers. Under the same affects as the Ukians, Commander Ganch and the clone trooper, Squawk, were arguing with one another. Just as Ganch was about to fire at Squawk, Xebec sliced his blaster in two and then ordered the clones to explain their actions. The two of them then turned on him, and Ganch began to struggle to speak and removed his helmet. When Xebec showed concern that Ganch was in pain, Sanya warned him to stay away, and Ganch struck Xebec in the face with his helmet. Ganch regained control of his thoughts long enough to tell Xebec to run before the clone could catch him.

The pair split up in the fields, with a clone trooper closing in on Sanya. Just as he confronted her, one of the stampeding gigauns slammed its enormous foot into the trooper, knocking him away from the girl. Sanya fled once more and found Xebec and Ganch fighting one another amongst the stampede. Seeing that Xebec had fallen prey to the effects of the device as well, she told the Padawan to use the Force to center himself. Just as Xebec was able to fully clear the effects from his mind, Ganch caught up with him, and began to strangle him. Xebec tried to convince the clone that he wasn't himself, and appealed to Ganch's strict nature by telling him he was acting against orders. Ganch then stabbed himself in the neck with a med-shot, knocking himself out.

Personality and traits
Assigned to the AgriCorps, Sanya had healthy friendships with the Ukians, who saw her as separate from the Republic. She reacted negatively to Xebec calling her a "washout", and felt the need to inform the Padawan that Jedi could be more than warriors. Still, she was able to work together with Xebec during the Separatist invasion.
