Nuru Kungurama

Nuru Kungurama, born Kung'urama'nuruodo, was a male Chiss Jedi Padawan in the waning years of the Galactic Republic. He was found in the Outer Rim Territories in an escape pod and was brought to the planet Coruscant to train as a Jedi. His first master, Lanchu Skaa, was lost at the first battle of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY. Later that year, Kungurama participated in the mission to Kynachi, in which he stowed away on a transport and pursued the mission without the consent of his Master Ring-Sol Ambase. Upon its arrival on Kynachi, the transport was fired upon by Separatist starfighters; Kungurama and Master Ambase stowed aboard separate escape pods. During the search for his master, who had become missing, Kungurama became the Jedi Commander of Breakout Squad, a group of clone troopers on the mission. Kungurama and Breakout Squad joined with a mysterious bounty hunter who said he knew how to find Ambase. Breakout Squad and Kungurama battled with the Separatist forces on the planet and liberated the prisoners from the KynachTech factory prison. Kungurama and the bounty hunter then parted ways after the mission, and Kungurama did not succeed in finding Ambase. Breakout Squad received a lift off the planet from Captain Lalo Gunn and her navigation droid Cleaver on her starship Hasty Harpy.

After the mission, Kungurama and Breakout Squad were assigned by Jedi Grand Master Yoda to meet a Chiss ambassador. They received coordinates to arrive at Defense Force Station Ifpe'a and there met the Chiss representative, Aristocra Veeren. The negotiations were cut short because of Veeren's distrust of outsiders, even a fellow Chiss, and Kungurama's inexperience. As the Hasty Harpy prepared to leave, the station was attacked by the forces of Overseer Umbrag. Veeren was knocked unconscious and Kungurama ordered that she be brought on board. When she woke up, she thought she had been kidnapped, though Kungurama tried to tell her the station had been destroyed. Later the Hasty Harpy was brought out of hyperspace by a black hole. There they met a gang of pirates. When they found out Kungurama was a Jedi, they asked him to help them escape using an ancient Infinity Gate artifact. Kungurama was successful, and Breakout Squad continued on its voyage to Coruscant.

Back in hyperspace, Kungurama was contacted via hypercomm by the Republic's Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine, who asked him to escort Kynachi's Commissioner, Langu Sommilor to Coruscant. Kungurama agreed to meet him on Vaced. The Hasty Harpy arrived first, and Kungurama went to greet the Commissioner when he landed. Suddenly Commissioner Sommilor was hit by a sniper. Kungurama stole a swoop, and joined by a giant alien, chased after the sniper, a Mandalorian, into Shattered Rock canyon. After a protracted duel, Kungurama was rescued by Breakout Squad, but the Mandalorian damaged the Hasty Harpy with a missile before he appeared to perish when the Hasty Harpy destroyed his vessel. The Hasty Harpy crashed, and Kungurama and Breakout Squad parted ways with Captain Gunn. Breakout Squad, along with Gizz and Cleaver, took Sommilor's TL-1800 freighter to search down clues for Kungurama's missing master.

Breakout Squad arrived at Bilbringi Depot and liberated it from Overseer Umbrag, capturing the Techno Union official. Then Veeren suddenly arrived to inform them that her analysis of recent events indicated someone was manipulating Kungurama. After ordering him to keep this information secret, she left. Her ship was then accidentally destroyed by another vessel, one piloted by Master Ambase. Ambase's ship fled the area while a battle droid distracted Kungurama.

After returning from Bilbringi Depot, Breakout Squad was assigned to go to Affa to escort supply ships belonging to Noggox the Hutt. When Breakout Squad arrived, they found that Noggox had been assassinated. Kungurama said they would stay until they found out what had happened.
