Rachi Sitra

Ritra was rescued from Ryloth by a Jedi posing as a slave trader and afterward became a skilled warrior and an archaeologist. She began learning the ways of the Force and eventually attained the rank of a Jedi Knight after completing her trials. The construction of her own lightsaber was a turning point for Rachi that gave her life new meaning and direction.

During the Galactic Civil War Sitra aided the Rebel Alliance, from a hidden Rebel base on Talus she helped organizing strikes against the Galactic Empire. However, the base's safety was compromised when the Imperial Special Forces have established a base on the nearby Corellia, preparing to launch an attack on the base. Sitra realized that the facility could not be properly defended and evacuation of personnel was the only reliable option. However, the Battle of Talus forced Rebels into defense anyway when the Imperial attack came earlier than expected. Imperial troops disembarked and immediately engaged the Rebel defenders, but were caught by a surprise when a group of Jedi, led by Rachi Sitra, joined the fight. Sitra took command of the situation and wielded her lightsaber with authority. The combined troops of the Rebel Alliance and their Jedi supporters had successfully defended their base on Talus, and the Imperials were forced to retreat back to the Imperial outpost.

The next day saw the second Imperial assault, with larger attacking force and better organization. However, by that time the evacuation was already at its final stage. Sitra was evacuated along with other base personnel on Spirit of Corellia, a SoroSuub transport. However, the transport was shot down and was forced to land at a remote part of Corellia. Very soon, Imperial forces arrived to investigate the crash site, led by none other than Darth Vader himself. Sitra decided to distract Vader and buy others time for escape. She rushed the Dark Lord, her lightsaber ignited, but the Sith had simply struck her down with the Force, rendering her unconscious. Vader's forces engaged the Rebels and the fight was fierce and brutal, with heavy casualties for both sides. Finally regaining consciousness, Sitra moved against Vader again. At that moment, the surviving Rebels concentrated their blaster fire on Vader and, while he was busy deflecting it, Sitra and her troopers retreated from the battle into the wilderness. Within a few hours they reached a local spaceport and reunited with the main Alliance forces.
