Te Corso

Te Corso was an Elomin who served the New Jedi Order during both the Sith–Imperial War and the Second Imperial Civil War. Before the conclusion of the former conflict, she was a consultant to the ruling Triumvirate of the Jedi-allied Galactic Alliance, but the two organizations were ultimately defeated by the Galactic Empire in 130 ABY. The Jedi were then massacred by the One Sith, and their survivors, including Corso, were forced into hiding as the Sith seized control of the galaxy. Corso found her way to a Hidden Jedi Temple on the planet Taivas before 137 ABY; by that time a Jedi Master, she helped rebuild a broken order.

In that year, the Jedi Council dispatched Corso with fellow Jedi Masters Sayar Dun'La, Asaak Dan, and Drok to meet with Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance Remnant. Shortly after they arrived in the Arkanis sector and boarded the flagship of the Remnant fleet, an attack came from the two groups' common enemy: Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire. Corso and Drok flew X-83 TwinTail starfighters alongside the Remnant's own forces in a defensive action as the fleet prepared to flee, and after a series of hyperspace jumps, they were able to help shake the Sith–Imperial pursuit. An alliance against Krayt's Empire was solidified, and the Jedi ambassadors remained with Stazi over the following weeks.

Corso later organized and led the volunteer Sword Squadron during the Remnant's evacuation of the planet Dac following the poisoning of its oceans by the Sith–Imperials. With aid from their allies in the Empire-in-exile, the Jedi and Remnant forces saved 20 percent of the water world's residents, and Corso returned to Taivas. When Darth Krayt soon afterward learned of the Hidden Temple's location, the entire Alliance made a stand against the Imperial onslaught, and Corso was killed by the lightsaber of a powerful Sith trooper while protecting Jedi Master T'ra Saa. The time bought by Corso's sacrifice allowed Saa to gather energy and release a beam of light into space at the moment of her own death, which created an escape corridor for the overmatched Alliance.
