Zonder

Zonder was a Jedi Padawan and Commander during the Clone Wars. He was one of the few Selonian males to ever leave Selonia.

Felucia
During the Clone Wars, Zonder was apprenticed to Jedi Knight Barriss Offee. Offee, a healer, was sent to Felucia along with her new Padawan, to work as a healer to the natives who had been injured in the recent Republic attack on the world. Since Felucia was a Confederate world, Zonder and Offee had to work undercover, operating without the help of their lightsabers. While healing one day, the pair spotted Shu Mai, a key figure in the Confederate leadership, and Offee believed that the capture of such a figure would be a great boon to the Republic's cause. As the pair secretly attempted to contact the Jedi Council on Coruscant, they were set upon by a detachment of enemy battle droids.

Departing their hut swiftly, Zonder urged his master to stay where she was. Evading the enemy blaster fire, he dropped a slab of stone on the B1 battle droids, to the delight of Offee. The pair then began their dash to the executive landing platform, where there was a transmission facility. Along the way, they were confronted by Droidekas, prompting the Jedi to split up. Leaping to higher ground, Zonder was soon faced with Hunter-Seeker droids, which he promptly destroyed. The resulting explosion, however, threatened to kill two nearby Gossam children, forcing Offee to stop her evasion of the enemy droids and save the innocent bystanders. As a result, she was captured, and urged Zonder to stand down. He complied, and the pair were taken into Confederate custody.

They were held at the nearby Nigkoe Detention Facility for some time, until a task force led by General Aayla Secura and Commander CC-5052 broke into the facility, and broke Offee and Zonder out. Helping them was the Padawan Ekria, who, in trying to find the group a way out of Nigkoe, realized that they wouldn't be able to descend from the facility, as there was a considerable staging area for Confederate troops below. Zonder and CC-5052, known as "Bly," concurred in thinking that the best option for their escape would be to ascend the building. Picking up Offee and Ekria, Zonder leapt to the top of Nigkoe, while Bly and Secura rappelled up. Bly then destroyed the facility's shield generator, allowing the 327th Star Corps to descend and pick the group up.

Offee requested that she and Zonder be able to collect their lightsabers and personal effects from the facility, while Secura revealed that Coruscant had fallen under attack by the Confederacy. Despite the situation, she insisted that they capture Mai before leaving for the capital, hoping to extract any information as to the Confederate plan from the leader of the Commerce Guild. The Jedi made their way to Mai's compound near Kway Teow, and, after eliminating the perimeter guard, were taken towards the compound itself by Bly and his men, who were riding BARC speeder. Along the way, the group was harried by vulture droids, but they were in turn covered by Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighters.

The speeders did not last for long, and as they were destroyed by the pursuing fighters, the Jedi jumped into a nearby river. The river ran through to a waterfall, at the foot of which was a hidden entrance to the compound. Making their way cautiously through the corridors, Secura put Ekria to work at a nearby terminal. The young Padawan quickly discovered that Mai had in fact already departed Felucia, much to Secura's frustration. After Ekria let Bly and his troops into the facility, she was able to bring up a HoloNet News feed, which reported that the Confederacy had been driven away from Coruscant, due largely to the efforts of Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, whom Zonder greatly admired.

Immediately afterwards, Zonder detected a strange smell, and Bly reported that there toxins permeating the compound. Ekria's slicing had prompted a count-down sequence for the building's self-destruction, and Secura urged everyone to leave the compound post haste. There was no door for them to escape through, but the hulking Zonder simply burst through one of the walls, allowing them to reach safety before the ensuing explosion. Many clone troopers died in that explosion, but more disturbing to Secura was the fact that their presence had triggered the release of poisonous biological agents into the planet's entire water supply. Within four days, all water on the planet would be poisoned, resulting in a potentially massive loss of life.

Order 66
Secura believed, however, that the crisis could be averted if they could capture several key water treatment facilities. She contacted the Master Mace Windu, requesting more clones, and he agreed, sending Stass Allie to deliver them. Along with the reinforcements came Padawan Drake Lo'gaan, who was the apprentice of the late Roron Corobb. In the proposed strikes on the treatment plants, Secura sent Zonder, Ekria, and Lo'gaan to the city of Jiaozi, while she and Offee attacked separate locations. They were joined by the clone trooper Galle. While scouting the defenses, Ekria noted that there were sentients guarding Jiaozi's plant, preventing them from simply shooting everything. Zonder suggested biting some of them, but Lo'gaan came up with another idea.

Zonder bellowed, creating the loudest noise he possibly could, putting the defenders on the offensive. The Padawans then attacked, until Lo'gaan loudly gave Galle the order to retreat. As the clones ran away, the defending troops gave chase, leaving the facility largely unguarded. The few Gossams that did remain were easily intimidated by Zonder, who rounded them up, and had them direct the others to the control room. Ekria then quickly shut down the facility, preventing the toxin from spreading through it. The Selonian couldn't raise Offee or Secura while in the room, however, and so Ekria patched the cameras located in the clone troopers' helmets through the main viewscreen.

She then detected a priority signal coming through for Commander Bly from Coruscant, but she was not able to decrypt it, initially. Meanwhile, on the clone cameras, the Padawans, to their horror, were met with the sight of Secura being gunned down by her own men. The message was then decrypted,, and it revealed that Bly had been given "Order 66," a term that they Padawans were unfamiliar with. Shortly thereafter, they received a transmission from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, urging them to return to the Jedi Temple, as the war was apparently over. Switching to Galle's camera, they found that he was closing in on their position, to Lo'gaan's great concern.

Adventures on Imperial Center
Zonder, Ekria, and Lo'gaan were able to evade Galle, and made their way to Coruscant, now called "Imperial Center." Palpatine had seized power, and made himself Emperor, replacing the Republic with a Galactic Empire. In the wake of Order 66, the Jedi had all but been wiped from the face of the galaxy. Nevertheless, the trio were able to eke out an existence on Imperial Center&mdash;Zonder in particular was able to hunt in Imperial City's lower levels for food. Meanwhile, Ekria sliced into the Jedi Temple's archives, and erased their existence from them. She believed that there were other Jedi who had survived, and that they would return to Imperial Center to liberate the people of the galaxy from Palpatine's Empire. Lo'gaan disagreed, but the group agreed that they would not make any public displays of using the Force, lest they bring down the Imperial authorities upon themselves.

Lo'gaan decided to venture into the Uscru Entertainment District, to cheat, using the Force, at a game of divot, in order to obtain some credits. Zonder observed the game from nearby, in case of trouble. Sure enough, it came, when a Toydarian played noticed that Lo'gaan was but a child, and he was apprehended by the Nalle triplets. When a disgruntled Jokhalli drew his blaster in an attempt to kill Lo'gaan, Zonder burst forth from his position, freeing his comrade. As they departed the room, they were spotted by Imperial stomtroopers, forcing them to flee. As they neared the Outlander Club, Lo'gaan believed they were safe, until they came across yet another set of stormtroopers. Ekria, however, arrived to liberate them, allowing them to escape. As they did so, however, Lo'gaan utilized the Force to knock back incoming stormtroopers, to Ekria's chagrin.

Zonder signed up for a job at Byss, unaware of the Empire's growing Humanocentric policies and that he and all of the other aliens who registered for the job were going to be enslaved&mdash;most likely to work on the top secret Death Star project.

Meanwhile, Drake Lo'gaan had joined COMPNOR under the alias of Jodd Sonta, only to learn more about the Empire’s Humanocentric agenda. He was informed by a dockworker that the group of aliens which was bound for Byss were to be enslaved.

Death at the hands of the Sith
Prince Xizor brought the unconscious form of the Selonian to be delivered to Vader. When Vader revived the Padawan, they dueled briefly, though Zonder was outmatched by the Sith Lord. He received an injury to his left shoulder when Vader threw his lightsaber at the Selonian, and was subsequently sliced through the gut and decapitated.
