Biography
"I regret that I only have sad news to greet you with. King Yos Kolina of Mon Calamari has been assassinated, and as a result the planet is on the brink of a civil war."

- Plo Koon, reporting Kolina's death to a Jedi Knight

The eighty-second king of the Mon Calamari, Kolina found his homeworld of Dac&mdash;and the entire Calamari system&mdash;threatened by General Grievous and the Confederacy of Independent Systems around 21 BBY. As such, he requested the Galactic Republic's and Jedi Order's assistance to combat the Separatist invasion, and the Jedi responded by confronting Grievous's forces at Iceberg III. While attempting to keep the peace between the Mon Calamari and the Quarren, however, Kolina was assassinated, and the conflict in the system escalated toward civil war. Following Kolina's death, Prince Lee-Char took over as leader of Mon Calamari.
