Danni Quee

"Master Skywalker, I hope you won't think I don't value what I have learned with the Jedi because I came to this decision quickly, but I was never a true member of the order, and my future lies with Zonama Sekot."

- Danni Quee resigning the New Jedi Order at Conclave on Ossus

Danni Quee was a New Republic scientist during the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Biography
Danni was the daughter of an astrophysicist mother and a bureaucrat father. Her parents divorced when she was still a child, and Danni opted to stay with her mother. A prodigy herself, Danni decided to leave the crowded Core Worlds at the age of 15. She joined the Extragalactic Society, which stationed her on Belkadan in 22 ABY. ExGal's aims were to search for signs of extra-galactic life, and in 25 ABY they did just that, discovering what was later determined to be an incoming Praetorite Vong ship. While traveling to Helska IV to intercept the unknown ship, Danni was captured by the invading Yuuzhan Vong; she was intended to be a sacrifice to their gods, and the rest of her companions were all killed. Meanwhile, a Yuuzhan Vong infiltrator named Yomin Carr destroyed the outpost on Belkadan, leaving no survivors. On Helska IV, Danni was soon joined by another captive, the Jedi Miko Reglia, and she witnessed his torture as the yammosk tried to break his will. She watched in horror as Miko sacrificed his life, killing himself along with two Yuuzhan Vong warriors in an attempt to cover her escape.

Danni later became fast friends with Jacen Solo, who aided in her escape from Helska IV, and the two occasionally met and spent time together, but the war was always in the way of their having a deeper relationship. She returned to Commenor to spend some time with her family, before becoming a companion to Leia Organa Solo, who helped Danni access her own latent Force abilities.

Just before the attack on Coruscant, Danni was stationed with Saba Sebatyne and her Wild Knights, and assisted them in their skirmishes against the Yuuzhan Vong. Danni participated in the Battle of Arkania, and was on Eclipse when the Yuuzhan Vong chased Booster Terrik through the system.

Later in the war, Danni played an important role in deducing the usage of yammosks, and created a tactic known as "yammosk jamming." This tactic gave the Galactic Alliance an added capability to cripple Yuuzhan Vong communications by blocking the signals sent from the yammosk to its ships, which then threw the Yuuzhan Vong troops into disarray. In the final months of the war, she accompanied Jacen, Mara Jade Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and several others to the Unknown Regions in an attempt to locate the living planet, Zonama Sekot. She and Jacen began growing closer, and might have perhaps fallen deeply into love but for their separation. At the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Danni stayed on Zonama Sekot (along with with Tahiri Veila and Tekli) to study the planet's flora and fauna, while Jacen left to follow his own path.

Quee continued on as a part of the New Jedi Order, but following Luke Skywalker's Jedi convocation on Ossus in 36 ABY, she resigned from the organization.

Behind the scenes

 * It remains unknown who trained Danni as a Jedi following the Yuuzhan Vong War, but since she remained on Zonama Sekot with Tahiri Veila and Tekli, those two are the most likely candidates.
 * There are no plans to to include Danni in any further books, and it has been said that any further appearances will be nothing more than brief cameos.
