Gorlan Palladane

Gorlan Palladane was a former Human male Jedi who stayed on Chelloa after the Sith conquest in order to help his people, living as a relief worker and miner. On Chelloa, he married Roah with whom he had two children, Aneese and Jalen. Unlike most other Jedi, Gorlan was disinterested in combat and preferred non-violent means like healing and helping poor civilians. During the Sith occupation, Gorlan played a leading role in the anti-Sith Chelloan resistance and relayed intelligence about Daiman's baradium mining operations to the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order in Operation Influx. Despite the failure of the operation, he managed to rescue the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt.

Gorlan and the young Jedi woman would subsequently undertake further operations against both Daiman and his rival Odion, whose nihilistic tendencies posed a threat to Chelloa. His efforts to save the Chelloan people led him to send false intelligence about Chelloa's mining operations. However, his involvement in the anti-Sith resistance led to his incarceration and torture at the hands of Daiman. Following his rescue by Kerra, Gorlan would play an important role in helping coordinate the evacuation of refugees during the Destruction of Chelloa. He would ultimately die during a climatic duel with Lord Odion but not without saving the lives of sixty thousand sentients who escaped Chelloa aboard a fleet of commandeered transports known as the Freedom Fleet.
