History
Salmara, a female Human Jedi Master, served the Jedi Order during the last years of the Galactic Republic, during the Clone Wars. Around 20 BBY, the High Jedi Council learned that Darth Maul had survived his encounter with Obi-Wan Kenobi over a decade prior, and that he had allied himself with his younger brother and fellow Sith, Savage Oppress.

After the Jedi Council learned that Ja'boag, the head of Rim Commercial Mining, had placed a bounty on the heads of Maul and Oppress, they summoned Salamara and her Padawan, Dray, to the High Council Chamber. En route, Dray repeatedly questioned Salmara, claiming that there was no way Darth Maul could still be alive, but Salmara assured him that the hatred within Maul was certainly capable of such a thing. The Council then tasked Salmara, along with fellow Jedi Master Judd, with discovering the reasons behind Ja'boag's bounty. Salamara wondered how someone outside of the Jedi Order could possibly know that Maul had lived&mdash;Mace Windu told her that this was precisely what they needed to find out, while at the same time treading lightly around someone as powerful as Ja'boag. Judd asked what they were to do if they discovered the actual location of the dark side brothers, and Yoda told him that Kenobi was already tracking them, but they should assist him if they can. Windu also tasked Salmara and the others with uncovering why the native population of Moorjhone had fallen silent since Ja'boag's mining company arrived there. Windu urged the trio to follow the Force and act accordingly.

Maul and Oppress also traveled to Moorjhone, and arrived before the Jedi, slaughtering the security forces and flinging Ja'boag off a balcony. The Jedi arrived just in time, and Salmara caught Ja'boag with the Force, saving his life. As Judd ignited his lightsaber, the two brothers looked down on them from above&mdash;Oppress was concerned they had been discovered while Maul was filled with malicious delight.
