Alora (Dark Jedi)

"Ah, you must be the saber-wielding troublemaker who neutralized our permimeter guard. Are Jedi stretched so thin that Skywalker sends children to battle the Disciples of Ragnos?"

Alora was a Lethan Twi'lek, apprentice to Tavion Axmis. She was active during the Disciples of Ragnos's quest to resurrect Marka Ragnos.

Biography


A Force-sensitive Twi'lek, Alora chose the lure of the dark side and, like most Dark Jedi, met an early end. After the defeat of Desann, Alora came under the tutelage of Tavion Axmis, Desann's former apprentice. Tavion taught Alora lethal skills in the dark side. Alora focused mainly on lightsaber combat and was flexible, agile, and feminine, and her acrobatic, graceful lightsaber styles reflected this. She was a very fast learner and picked up all that her mistress taught her very easily, becoming second only to Tavion in her skills. She used her stealth abilites to infiltrate Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. Easily gaining access to the Jedi mainframes, she stole a list of areas strong in the Force so that her mistress Tavion could siphon the Force energies from there using the Scepter of Ragnos.

Jaden Korr was sent to Hoth to find out if the Force energy there had been siphoned or not and he found Imperials, one of the Disciples of Ragnos, and Alora herself, assisting and supervising the Imperials in their mission. Alora's Sith Cultist was helping her to send the information she and Tavion needed from Echo Base, but Jaden found and killed the cultist before all the data could be sent. Eventually, Jaden found and fought Alora, who was waiting in a hangar, unaware her cultist was dead. The pair fought a fierce duel but Alora realized she couldn't gain the upper hand. She taunted Korr before she fled, angered that she could not beat the Jedi and determined to defeat him if there was a next time.

Jaden encountered her again on Taspir III while looking for Rosh Penin. Alora was at the cult facility and was surprised to have encountered Korr there. She fled through the facility taunting the Jedi until she reached the hangar, where Jaden found her with Rosh and tried to turn him back to the light. Realizing that Rosh would renounce the dark and turn back to the light, a furious Alora sliced off Rosh's arm in an attempt to kill him. Jaden intervened and again they clashed sabers, but this time Alora was slain. Even though she used the Jar'Kai fighting style this time and was even more powerful as she had completed her training, Jaden Korr called upon the power of the light side and struck her down. The overconfidence and arrogance she had inherited from Tavion was to be her her downfall.
