Bela Kiwiiks

Bela Kiwiiks was a female Togruta Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the Great Galactic War, the Cold War, and the Galactic War with the resurgent Sith Empire. One of the apprentices of Ngani Zho, she fought as a Jedi Knight in the Battle of Rhen Var alongside Satele Shan, Jaric Kaedan, and Syo Bakarn. In the aftermath of the Sacking of Coruscant and the end of the Great Galactic War, all four former students of Zho were appointed to the Jedi High Council as Jedi Masters, and in the decade following the Treaty of Coruscant Kiwiiks took on a young woman named Kira Carsen as her apprentice when she discovered the teenage Human on the moon of Nar Shaddaa.

In 3643 BBY, the Council began to sense a dark presence on the Republic capital of Coruscant, and Kiwiiks was sent to the planet with her Padawan to investigate. Kiwiiks was soon joined by fellow Council member Orgus Din and his former apprentice, who discovered that the Republic's secret superweapon projects were in danger of being discovered by the Empire, and she traveled to the desert world of Tatooine at the request of the Republic general Var Suthra in order to secure the Shock Drum weapon.
