Adi Gallia
taken from the comic Obsession #5
this beautiful, brown-skinned woman was a Jedi Master during the last years of
the Old Republic. Born to Corellian parents who were diplomats on Coruscant,
she was quickly recognized for her strength with the Force. After years of
training, she became one of the twelve members of the Jedi Council shortly
before the Battle of Naboo. Her skills with a lightsaber were notable in that she
used a reverse, one-handed grip. Adi Gallia chose to dress in the plain brown
robes of a Jedi, but wore a Toloth headdress. She was known among the Jedi
for her abilities of intuition and information gathering, and maintained a vast
network of informants across the planet of Coruscant. Through this network,
she discovered that the Trade Federation was building droid-controlled
starfighters and was planning to blockade the small planet of Naboo, in an
effort to force the Old Republic to lift its taxation of trade routes. The
Federation attempted to stop her on Esseles, but she was rescued by
Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. She brought this information to the
attention of Chancellor Valorum, who requested that two Jedi be dispatched to
Naboo to negotiate a settlement without the interference of the Senate.
Although she chose not to use it unless all other options had failed, Adi Gallia
owned a crimson-bladed lightsaber. Just prior to the Battle of Geonosis,
Master Gallia was dispatched to the Karthakk System, where she teamed up
with Nym and the Lok Revenants to smash the plans of Cavik Toth to use
Trihexalon on the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. She
remained with Nym for many months, until the Karthakk System was finally
secured. During the height of the Clone Wars, Adi Gallia was part of the task
force that was dispatched to Boz Pity, some two years after the Battle of
Geonosis. The initial landing party was forced to crashland on the planet, in
order to bypass the Separatist blockade of the planet. Once on Boz Pity,
however, the Jedi discovered that General Grievous was waiting for them.
After Grievous killed Soon Bayts, he turned his attention to Master Gallia.
Grasping her by the neck, Grievous plunged two lightsabers into her body,
killing Master Gallia on the spot.
