Sev (Jedi)

"Sometimes the smallest fights become the biggest battles."

- Sev, to Joc Sah

Sev was a Weequay male Jedi Master who served as a general during the Clone Wars. During the war, he trained the Human Joc Sah as his Padawan. In the war's final year, Sev and Sah were sent to the Outer Rim planet Ragmar V, which was considered an essential staging world for the Republic's planned attack on a Separatist base. Sev remained aboard a Venator-class Star Destroyer and sent Sah on his first solo mission to secure an outpost on the surface. Shortly thereafter, the clone troopers under Sev's command were ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to execute Order 66, a directive branding the Jedi Knights as traitors to the Republic. Sev managed to defend himself briefly but was eventually slain by the clones.

Biography
Sev, a Weequay male, was born during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. He was trained in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order, and eventually ascended to the rank of Jedi Master. During this time, he took the Human Joc Sah as his Padawan. When the Clone Wars were initiated in 22 BBY, Sev served as a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic. In 19 BBY, the final year of the war, Sev and Sah were dispatched to Ragmar V, a planet in the Outer Rim, which was viewed as a vital staging world for a planned Republic assault on a Separatist base. Sev stayed aboard a Venator-class Star Destroyer and sent Sah, accompanied by Clone Sergeant Remy and a clone trooper squad, on his first solo mission to the surface of the planet.

As Sah and his troops entered the atmosphere, Sev ordered him to secure an outpost and warned his Padawan to remain on his guard. Shortly thereafter, the ARC trooper accompanying Sev received a directive from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine commanding him to execute Order 66, which labeled the Jedi Knights as traitors to the Republic. Sev was attacked by the clones under his command but managed to dispatch many of them before being overwhelmed and killed. After the Jedi Master's death, the ARC trooper sent a detachment of clones to eliminate Sah, who survived his troops' betrayal.

Personality and traits
The Weequay Sev wore brown Jedi robes and used a lightsaber containing a green crystal. He cautioned Joc Sah, his Padawan learner, to remain on guard during the mission to Ragmar V, warning him that a seemingly minor fight could erupt into a large battle.

Powers and abilities
Sev was powerful enough to achieve the rank of Jedi Master. He was also skilled at using his lightsaber during combat, eliminating multiple clone troopers before he was overwhelmed and slain.

Behind the scenes
Sev was introduced in the short story The Order of Outcasts, which was one of four stories compiled in the fifth volume of the Clone Wars Adventures trade paperbacks. The character was created by Matt Jacobs and drawn by Matthew and Shawn Fillbach. Sev was mentioned in both Remy's and Joc Sah's entries in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.

In 2008, Hasbro created an action figure of both Sev and the ARC trooper under his command as part of the second wave of the Order 66 release of the Star Wars: The 30th Anniversary Collection toy line. Sev's figure comes with a green lightsaber.
