Current Project: Barriss Offee

"I did it. Because I've come to realize what many people in the Republic have come to realize&mdash;that the Jedi are the ones responsible for this war. That we've so lost our way that we've become villains in this conflict. That we are the ones who should be put on trial. All of us!"

- Barriss Offee, after her crimes against the Jedi and the Republic

Barriss Offee was a Mirialan female and a talented Jedi healer who nearly ascended to Jedi Knighthood during the Clone Wars. Born in 40 BBY, Offee was discovered by the Jedi Order and was brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Offee was trained in the way of The Force and Lightsaber combat by Jedi Master Luminara Unduli. Specializing in the art of Force healing, Offee gained a reputation for discipline and dependability over the years, particularly as a student of her strict Master, but also at times exhibited overconfidence and recklessness as a Padawan. In 22 BBY, during the escalating Separatist Crisis, Offee joined Unduli in helping Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, settle a border dispute on Ansion. Their efforts resulted in an accord between the Unity of Community and the native Alwari tribes, preventing the key world from seceding from the Galactic Republic. After Ansion, Offee was a part of 200-strong Jedi task force that went to rescue Kenobi, Skywalker, and Senator Padmé Amidala from Geonosis, where the Confederacy of Independent Systems had sentenced them to execution.

As an Clone Wars started, Offee became a Jedi Commander leading Clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic along with her master. Besides defending the sacred Crystal Caves of Ilum and putting her healing skills to use on New Holstice and Null. Later on Geonosis, Offee formed a friendship with fellow Togruta Padawan Ahsoka Tano, the student of the newly-Jedi Knight Skywalker. That campaign saw Offee and Tano infiltrate and destroy a major Geonosian battle droid foundry, and they quelled a following threat in the form of mind-controlling Geonosian brain worms. Offee was assigned to the crew of Republic Mobile Surgical Unit 7 on the battle-torn world of Drongar. Offee then passed the trial and graduated to Knighthood. In 20 BBY, Offee's faith in the Jedi Order and the Republic ultimately ended as the new order were rising. Believing that the Jedi had fallen from the Light side of the Force, she worked with like-minded activist Letta Turmond to orchestrate a bombing of the Jedi Temple to demonstrate her misgivings. Offee then framed her friend Tano for the bombing, as well as for her murder of Turmond by Force-choke Turmond in her prison in the Republic military base. Although Offee posed as ex-Separatist bounty hunter Asajj Ventress to further manipulate Tano and ensure her friend's arrest, Skywalker discovered the truth. After being defeated by Skywalker, Offee confessed to her crimes at Tano's trial before being taken into Republic custody.
