Hawkbat Clan The " Soaring " Hawkbat Clan was one of the many clans in which prospective young Initiates were placed when they first began to learn the ways of the Jedi Order . Once a member of the clan , the students would travel together through the academy at the Jedi Temple until the time they graduated . History . Named after the hawk - bats of Coruscant , this clan was stationed at the Jedi Temple following the Ruusan Reformation of the Galactic Republic . During the Clone Wars , around the time of the Siege of Saleucami , the clan had been transferred to the training facility on Bogden 3 and was under the care of Jedi Master Du Mahn . Caring for the Initiates with the assistance of Padawan Chase Piru , the clan was awaiting transfer back to Coruscant , but was delayed because of the battle that took place in the capital world ' s orbit . The clan was on alert when Masters K ' Kruhk and Sian Jeisel arrived with their clone troopers on a damaged Theta - class T - 2c shuttle . Welcoming the war heroes , the clan began to prepare a feast when the clone troopers received Order 66 from the Office of the Supreme Chancellor . In accordance with the order , the troopers opened fire on the Jedi slaughtering several younglings before the older Jedi could respond . Master K ' Kruhk and Mahn slew many troopers as they fled the carnage with what Initiates they could protect , while Master Jeisel detonated a thermal detonator in the facility ' s main entrance , killing herself and many of the clones as the younglings fled . Because Master Mahn was killed in the fighting , K ' Kruhk became the new leader of the clan , along with help from Padawan Piru . Taking the repaired shuttle , the Jedi fled to a bountiful world to gather supplies in the wilderness . Making camp on the tree line , Master K ' Kruhk hunted while Piru maintained watch over the younglings . All seemed quiet until the group was ambushed by the Gotal pirate Lumbra and his gang . Salvaging the Jedi ' s ship for parts , the pirates discovered that the children were Jedi and planned to sell them to the Galactic Empire for a large bounty . Piru , who had been left for dead after attempting to protect the Initiates , helped Master K ' Kruhk plan an attack on the pirate camp to free the children . Picking the pirates of one by one with the use of a bow and several large arrows , the Whiphid Jedi ' s aim was aided by Piru ' s Force use . Moving in with his lightsaber , K ' Kruhk and Piru disarmed the rest , ending when K ' Kruhk savagely cut down Lumbra . Disgusted by his less than Jedi - like behavior , K ' Kruhk apologized to Piru and announced his plan to part ways with the group . He was afraid his presence would remind the younglings of his violence . He decided to find a secure place for the clan to relocate . Later , they were on - board a ship that was shot down on the planet Arkinnea . The clan was captured by the Arkinnea Militia and set to a refugee camp . They were assigned to a tent in Section Two - One - Four and told that they were going to be relocated to the Open Lands soon . Once they arrived at their tent , K ' Kruhk noticed a fight taking place outside and quickly broke it up , fearing the violence could spread and endanger the younglings .
