User:Segg Niratta

Segg Niratta was a Corellian Jedi master born in the year 56 BBY. Born onto the Outer Rim moon of Gall in the Cadavine sector, Niratta was abandoned by his parents directly after birth and placed into an orphanage in the moon's capital city of Mallantine. At the age of three it was evident that the child was very well attuned with The Force so the orphanage's head mistress, Tima Tello, called the Jedi Council on Coruscant who sent Jedi Master Luminara Unduli to investigate. After thorough inspection she conducted that the child was indeed Force-sensitive and brought him back with her to Coruscant. Once there Niratta began his Jedi training immediately in the Bear Clan. In the Bear Clan Segg was introduced to Mirialan youngling Barriss Offee. The two quickly became friends and remained that way for the rest of their Jedihood. At the age of eight Barriss and Segg were assigned there new Jedi Masters. Segg was appointed Zabrak Jedi Master Agen Kolar and Barriss was given Niratta's Jedi locator Luminara Unduli. As a Padawan, Niratta followed his new master everywhere. Their first mission together was to the Mid Rim world of Contruum to settle a territorial dispute there. The trip was relatively uneventful as was the next five years of Niratta's life. At the age of thirteen Niratta and Kolar where given a mission to Jandur to smooth over negotiations between two high political parties there. Later the negotiations became hostile and Niratta was wounded by blaster fire. The wound was healed after a couple of days in a Bacta tank, but still Master Kolar was concerned with his padawan's inefficiency to deflect the blaster fire. Therefore, after he was healed, Segg and Kolar went for training leave on the remote world of Dantooine, where they stayed for two years. There Niratta became thoroughly skilled in the third form of lightsaber combat known as Form III: Soresu and constructed his first lightsaber boasting a brilliant green blade. Upon their return to civilization Niratta and his master were appointed the mission to rescue Senator Fang Zar from a band of Ishi Tib pirates. The two Jedi tracked the pirates to the desert planet of Blenjeel. The pirates where easily taken care of, but upon their way back to their ship Niratta and Kolar where confronted by Dooku's rouge apprentice Komari Vosa. Early in the dual Kolar was incapacitated by Vosa and Niratta was left alone to fight the rouge Jedi. Several hours later Vosa was able to escape, but not before she had taken Segg's right thumb and index finger. Once back in the Core Worlds Niratta's fingers were replaced with prosthetics and he was returned to active duty. The next seven years of Segg's life where filled with action and adventure and when he was twenty-two he graduated to Jedi Knighthood. Five years later he was appointed the young Human Kento Marek as his first Padawan. In the beginning Marek showed great potential in his Force skills, even developing his own Force technique, a slamming of the ground manipulating the elements therein to wave away in a small localized Groundquake. Together Niratta and Marek toppled any mission they were assigned to. When the Battle of Geonosis erupted Niratta and Marek were unable to attend for they were otherwise preoccupied with a border dispute on Sedratis. Once the Clone Wars were begun Niratta was given the title of Jedi General and command of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Tranquility. For their first mission during the Clone Wars Niratta and Malek were sent to Elrood to deal with a Separatist fleet there, which they did defeat. The war continued this way for a year and a half, may battles, few casualties. In the second year of the war the Tranquility was borrowed by Niratta's Jedi locator,Luminara Unduli, and Jedi Anakin Skywalker's Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, for the apprehension of Separatist leader Nute Gunray. Unfortunately the apprehension was thwarted by Asajj Ventress, one of Count Dooku's Dark Acolytes. Later towards the end of the Clone Wars Niratta and nineteen year old Kento were accompanied by Besalisk Jedi, Kodo Laddya, and her Padawan Mallie Marek to root out Separatist listening posts. Sadly, Mallie's master was killed in the battles and she returned back to Coruscant. After he and his master were finished on Talus and Tralus, Kento returned back to the Core and consoled Mallie. They quickly fell in love and married on one of the moons of Contruum. At first they attempted to keep their marriage a secret, but inevitably decided it was impossible and to drop out of the Order as soon as possible. On Niratta and Marek's next mission, to the Outer Rim world of Bakura, Marek faked his death and ran away with his wife to the Tantra sector. When Order 66 was issued Niratta was on a mission to his home world of Gall and was able to escape from his clone attackers and flee to the Corellian moon of Gus Talon. There he remained in hiding for six months. He emerged when he learned that the Sith Lord leader of the new Galactic Empire,  Darth Vader, was on Gus Talon to instill fear in it's inhabitants. He confronted the Sith Lord and was eventually struck down by him. What Segg didn't know was that his former Padawan, Kento Marek, was there also to destroy Vader. At witnessing his old master's death at the hands of the Sith, he decided to remove himself from the situation and join his wife at their new home on Kashyyyk.
