this Jedi Knight was a member of the Cerean race. Trained by Yoda since the age of four
when he was discovered by the Dark Woman, he spent twenty-one years learning the way of
the Jedi. After being given the title of Jedi Knight, Ki had considerable power in manipulating
the Force by the time he returned home on his first mission, to free his people from the grip
of Bin-Garda-Zon and his rogues. This task he managed to accomplish without bloodshed
as the old and weak Bin-Garda was unable to maintain his control of the rogues in the face
of Ki's ability to best their leader. Several more years of working as a Jedi Knight brough Ki
a good deal of influence within the ranks of the Jedi. However, he found he had little influence
on his homeworld. Like most of the older generation, Ki-Adi-Mundi wanted to do away with
unnecessary technology, while the younger generation wanted speeder bikes and starships.
As a generation war erupted on Cerea, Ki-Adi-Mundi was caught in the middle when his
daughter, Sylvn, was found to be a friend of Maj. He pursued the techrats at the behest of the
Cerean council of elders, and eventually traced the imports of technology to Ephant Mon,
Jabba the Hutt, and the Trade Federation. He was forced to abandon his search on
Tatooine, after rescuing Sylvn and Twin from an ion storm which masked the escape of Mon
and Jabba. Upon returning to Cerea, he was met with two welcome revelations: first, that his
bond-wife Shea was pregnant; and second, that he had been nominated for a seat on the
Jedi Council. His inclusion in the Jedi Council was unique in that, at the time, he was the only
Jedi Knight on the council, while all other members were Jedi Masters. Nevertheless, his
wisdom and calm demeanor were welcomed on the Council. His first mission for the Council
was to travel to Tatooine and locate Sharad Hett. He later was influential in the decisions
made regarding the testing and training of Anakin Skywalker. In the years following the Battle
of Naboo, Ki-Adi-Mundi attained the rank of Jedi Master. He used a purple-bladed
lightsaber whenever discussion failed, a fact that made him one of the primary Jedi Masters
dispatched to Geonosis to free Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Separatists. Unfortunately for the
Jedi, the Separatists wanted no part of any discussions, and the Battle of Geonosis broke
out. Ki-Adi-Mundi was among the handful of Jedi to survive the battle, and later commanded
clone troopers in the rest of the Battle of Geonosis. Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed to serve as one of
the Generals in the Army of the Republic, and was part of the task force sent to Hypori to
destroy the droid foundries on the planet. The mission proved to be a disaster for the Jedi,
and Ki-Adi-Mundi was among the handful of Jedi to survive their first battle with General
Grievous. It was during the Clone Wars, with the Battle of Cerea, that Master Adi-Mundi
learned that his family had been killed in the fighting. Rather than dwell on this event, Ki used
it to steel his resolve to fight harder to preserve the Republic. When Obi-Wan disappeared
on Jabiim, Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed to take over the training of Anakin Skywalker, a decision
that gave the Cerean no small amount of frustration. When Anakin suddenly left his side to
rescue Obi-Wan, Ki-Adi-Mundi was glad to have his fellow Jedi Master back, and gladly
turned over the continuation of Anakin's training to Obi-Wan. In the wake of the First Battle of
Coruscant, Ki-Adi-Mundi was dispatched to Mygeeto to put a stop to the fighting there.
However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out
communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the
order, Commander Bacara ordered his troops to open fire on Ki-Adi-Mundi, killing Jedi
Master.
