Octa Ramis

"Jedi for Jedi!"

- Octa on Kyp Durron's speech

Octa Ramis was a female Human Jedi Master from Chandrila who was trained to knighthood by Kam and Tionne Solusar. After becoming a Master, Ramis fought in the Dark Nest Crisis and the Second Galactic Civil War, whilst maintaining a position upon the Jedi High Council.

Early life
Octa Ramis was born on the planet Chandrila in the Core Worlds, but spent the majority of her life on high-gravity worlds where she built up her physical strength. Identified as a Force-sensitive individual, Ramis attended the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 where she was taught the ways of the Jedi. At the academy, Ramis became romantically involved with another student, Miko Reglia. Ramis graduated and attained the rank of Jedi Knight. Although a few within the Order&mdash;including Jedi Master Tionne Solusar&mdash;believed that Ramis and Reglia had ended their relationship after graduating, the pair were able to meet up again several times. Ramis also paired up with the Twi'lek Daeshara'cor for several missions.

The Yuuzhan Vong War
"That's pure madness. We're their best hope, and they won't have us working with them? It makes zero sense for them to do that."

In 25 ABY, Ramis attended a memorial service for Reglia. Reglia had been killed by the Yuuzhan Vong&mdash;a species of extra-galactic warriors intent on conquering the galaxy&mdash;on the planet Helska 4. He was the first Jedi casualty of the conflict that would become known as the Yuuzhan Vong War.

His death caused her to become one of many vocal supporters of Kyp Durron, who had been Miko's Master. She was described as a "powerfully built" woman.



Octa participated in the Battle of Ithor, but renounced her grief over Miko's death beforehand, and vowed to let him finally rest in her mind. She was one of many Jedi who defended the Tafanda Bay during the battle. However, her grief was renewed with the death of her friend and fellow Jedi Daeshara'cor.

In the months following Ithor, Octa flew with Kyp's Dozen-and-Two Avengers on several occasions, and was the only other survivor in the Dozen after the Fall of Coruscant. Furious that Kyp had wasted so many lives for so little gain, Octa cursed Kyp and fled the battle. Apparently she reconciled with Kyp later on, since she was assigned to be Dozen Lead while Kyp was taking part in the mission to Caluula. For the remaining three years of the conflict, not much was heard from Octa. However, she did join the Jedi at Zonama Sekot and bonded with seed partners to defend the world during the Battle of Yuuzhan'tar.

The Dark Nest Crisis
After the war, she eventually became a Jedi Master herself, sitting on the Masters' council, and was one of several Jedi Masters, along with Kyle Katarn, Kyp Durron, and Saba Sebatyne, to battle the Dark Nest at Kr alongside Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker. During the final phases of the Killik expansion, Octa led a StealthX squadron of Jedi fighters against Lomi Plo's forces.

Second Galactic Civil War
Octa was one of the many exiled Jedi Masters that regrouped on Endor following the Battle of Ossus. Later, the entire Jedi High Council led a raid upon the Anakin Solo after the death of Darth Caedus; bringing an end to the war.

Rising Tensions
During the attempt to reign in rogue Jedi Valin Horn on Coruscant, Octa and her new apprentice Seha Dorvald laid an ambush for Valin at the Senate Building. Valin attempted to utilize an old X-wing to make his escape, but was thwarted when Octa jumped on the starfighter and broke its cockpit seal with her lightsaber to prevent the vessel from leaving the atmosphere. She was shaken off the fighter and plummeted to the ground, but suffered only minor injuries thanks to Seha's quick-thinking telekinesis.

At a meeting of the Jedi High Council, Ramis volunteered to be the subject of a documentary. Along with Seha, Ramis would be shadowed on a few assignments by a documentary crew. Interim Grand Master Kenth Hamner hoped that when broadcasted, the documentary would increase Jedi popularity.
