Tau Idair

Tau Idair was a female human Jedi Knight serving the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the Galactic War and the ensuring conflict with the Eternal Empire. The surprise attack of the Eternal Empire on both the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic saw Jedi numbers thin over time, leading to surviving Jedi going underground. Jedi Master Gnost-Dural recruited her to join him on Ossus after the two survived a grueling campaign on Mimban.

Biography
A Force-sensitive Human female, Tau Idair was trained by the Jedi Order in the ways of the Force from an early age. Idair constructed her own green-bladed lightsaber as part of her training. Idair was eventually raised to the rank of Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council following the completion of her training, and would go on to fight against the Sith Empire during the Galactic War. It was during that war that she was stationed on Corellia in 3641 BBY, when a Sith jumped aboard her transport and slew her companions in quick succession. Idair killed the Sith in brutal fashion, and this event weighed heavily upon her in the years following the incident.

Idair later fought back against the Eternal Empire following their campaign against both the Sith Empire, the Jedi Order, and the Galactic Republic (though did not side with the Outlander and their alliance). Their campaign saw the Jedi numbers thin out to the point where those remaining, including the Grand Master Satele Shan, either went into hiding or disappeared hoping to regroup with other Jedi. Eventually, Idair fought alongside Jedi Master Gnost-Dural in a lengthy campaign in the swamps of Mimban, and the pair were among the only survivors. Idair joined Gnost-Dural (who became a close friend and an informal mentor) on Ossus following this, and would soon recruit others to their colony by 3630 BBY, including the seasoned doctor Archiban Frodrick Kimble and the Jedi Knight Nadia Grell. However, they soon began coordinating the defense of their colony against an imminent Sith invasion force, led by Darth Malora.

Idair never took on a Padawan learner, despite Gnost-Dural encouraging her to choose an apprentice. But it was that incident on Corellia years prior that influenced her decision not to select an apprentice.

Powers and abilities
Tau Idair used telekinesis and Force Stun. In combat, Idair wielded a green single-bladed Jedi lightsaber which she often modified.
