Mari-Elan Nora

Mari-Elan Nora was a female Lorrdian and a member of the Jedi Order around the time of the emergence of the new Sith Empire. Descended from slaves liberated by the Jedi, Nora wished to put an end to the Myrialites of the Argazdan Redoubt in the Kanz sector, and bring about a decisive conclusion to the centuries-old Kanz Disorders, under which the Lorrdians suffered continuously as slaves. Despite the new emergence of the Sith, the Galactic Senate granted Nora's wishes, and she led a team of Jedi Knights and Republic soldiers against the religious Argazdans.

Although the Myrialites fought bitterly for their holdings, Nora's forces proved superior, and achieved victory in 3670 BBY. During the liberation of Lorrd, the Argazdan slavers retreated into the gargantuan Slave Pits. When Nora dispatched many to follow, but they never returned. Although she could not detect anything through the Force, the Jedi suspected that a great evil lurked within. Nora went on to become the Jedi Watchman of the Kanz sector, before being killed by slavers on Noremac. She was interred in the Crypt of Martyrs on Lorrd.
