Keeve Trennis

Keeve Trennis was a human female Jedi Master who lived during the High Republic Era. Originally the Padawan of the Trandoshan Jedi Master Sskeer, Trennis rose to the rank of Jedi Knight in 232 BBY after saving a city of diminuitive Ximpi on the planet Shuraden from space-faring ridadi. She found herself stationed aboard the newly-christened Starlight Beacon, a Republic space station that stood as a symbol of hope and prosperity in the Outer Rim Territories. Although she had great skills, Trennis harbored feelings of self-doubt while stationed on the Beacon. Nevertheless, she resolved to be the best Jedi she could be while in service to the Order.

An investigation Trennis performed with Sskeer, and the bond-twins Terec and Ceret lead them to the world Sedri Minor, where Ceret went missing. Trennis discovered that a boy named Julus was missing too, so Trennis followed Julus' friend Bartol into caverns beneath the planet's surface where they discovered the presence of the Drengir, who were a species of sentient amorphous carnivorous plant-like creatures. Jedi Master Avar Kriss arrived to help them, but then they were approached by Sskeer, who was now mind controlled by the Drengir. Trennis refused to believe that her former master was gone and managed to get through to him. Sskeer used his attachment to the Drengir to push the creatures away from them with the force.

A confrontation with the Hutt Cartel lead Sskeer to almost be overtaken by the influence of the Drengir, but Trennis approached Sskeer and managed to get through to him and help him resist. Sskeer told Trennis to perform a mind touch on him, and therefore convince the Drengir he was connected to that they shouldn't eat people. Trennis did so, and it worked, but it also sent Sskeer into a comatose state. Refusing to give up on Sskeer, Trennis eventually joined him in the Drengir root-mind and together discovered the location of the Great Progenitor, the leader of the Drengir. Trennis suffered horrifying visions because of it, but it allowed the Jedi to perform an assault against the Progenitor, alongside the Hutts, who had made an alliance with the Jedi, which resulted in the capture of the creature.

The victory would be short lived as the Republic Fair on Valo was destroyed by the organization of mauraders known as the Nihil during the assault. Believing that the Jedi Council was not doing enough to stop the Nihil, Trennis would form a plan headed by Marshal Avar Kriss that would see Trennis and Terec going undercover within the Nihil. The plan was successful for a short time, until on the planet Xais the Jedi's former ally, the captured Hutt Myarga Anjiliac Atirue, revealed Trennis and Terec's true idenities. Trennis and Terec fought back, but would be defeated by Tempest Runner Lourna Dee, who unleashed the Great Leveler on them. Trennis had horrifying and terrifying visions due to the attack, and was left at the mercy of the Nihil until Sskeer and Kriss arrived and rescued her.

Later, she fought beside Kriss and Sskeer against the Nihil in the Battle for No-Space, but had to stop Kriss from killing a defenseless Dee and convince her to capture her instead. Just as they brought back Dee to Starlight Beacon, the space station was bombed. When they boarded the station to rescue innocents, they were subjected to the effects of creatures like the Great Leveler, Sskeer sacrificing himself and staying behind to save Trennis from them. After rescuing Terec and Ceret, she took an escape pod to the surface of Eiram and met up with Kriss. Sometime afterward, she was promoted to the rank of Master. However, Trennis later left the Jedi Order, becoming a member of the Lost, which saddened Yoda.
