Shasa , a Force - sensitive Selkath female , was born to Shaelas on the Selkath homeworld Manaan . During her childhood , Shasa befriended a fellow Selkath named Galas , who gave her a token as a gift . In 3956 BBY , during the Jedi Civil War that was waged against the Galactic Republic by the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Malak and his Sith Empire , an Iridonian mercenary was hired by the Sith to lure several of Manaan ' s youth into the Sith Embassy . Among these were Shasa and Galas . Shasa , Galas , and several other youths joined the Sith and learned the ways of the dark side of the Force under the Embassy ' s Dark Jedi Master . The Sith aimed to corrupt and brainwash the Selkath youth so that they could establish a puppet government on the planet to harvest kolto , a valuable healing agent found exclusively on Manaan . The Sith told Shasa and her friends that they could leave the Embassy if they wished . When Galas wanted to leave , however , they tortured him to the point of near - death and deceived Shasa into believing that they had let Galas go free . Shasa encountered the retrained Jedi Padawan Revan — the former Dark Lord responsible for starting the Jedi Civil War — during his raid on the Sith Embassy . Revan infiltrated the Embassy on behalf of both Shasa ' s father , Shaelas , who was searching for Shasa , and the local Republic ambassador , Roland Wann . Upon learning why Shasa and her friends were inside the facility , Revan attempted to convince the wayward Selkath to abandon the Sith . However , Shasa had been brainwashed by the Sith to the point of unwillingness to believe anything ill of them ; even when one of her fellow apprentices mentioned the destruction of Taris , Shasa stated that it was merely a Republic lie . Revan convinced Shasa and her friends to provide him the opportunity to locate actual proof of the Sith ' s treachery . While searching the Embassy , Revan found Galas , who gave the Jedi the token that he had given to Shasa when they were children . Before Galas died , he begged Revan to tell Shasa that the Sith were evil . Revan presented the token to Shasa , who initially refused to believe that the Sith killed Galas . After Revan convinced her to accept the truth , Shasa and her friends immediately left the Embassy and abandoned their dark side teachings . Legacy . Shortly after Darth Malak ' s death at Revan ' s hands and the Sith Empire ' s defeat , Shasa and several other Selkath participated in a battle against the Sith forces on Ahto City and successfully defeated the Sith . Shasa realized that if Manaan was to remain completely neutral , the Selkath could not rely on the Jedi Order any more than the Sith . Nevertheless , Shasa felt that Force - sensitive Selkath needed proper training to use their abilities and avoid the dark side . Shasa and the other Selkath who received training from the Sith formed a doctrine of peace and defense , creating an organization known initially as the " Order . " The group soon became known as the " Order of Shasa . " Shasa ' s order of Force adepts survived her death , lasting for nearly four thousand years — until the Galactic Civil War . Personality and traits . After the Sith brainwashed Shasa and the Selkath youth , the young Selkath believed everything that the Sith told her . She refused to accept anything negative toward the Sith and was convinced that the Sith were victims of Republic lies and half - truths . When she learned that the Sith had tortured and killed her childhood friend Galas , Shasa was initially reluctant to believe this revelation , but she eventually accepted the truth and apologized to Revan for doubting him . After forming her order of Force - sensitives following the end of the Jedi Civil War , Shasa was wary of contacting the Jedi or any other Force - using organization for help . If darksider s started to advance in her order ' s ranks or influence new members , Shasa sought advice from a Jedi whom she trusted . Alternatively , Shasa would seek advice from a Force - based tradition with what she perceived as a good reputation , such as the Jal Shey . Shasa was bilingual and was able to speak and comprehend Basic and the Selkath . When she confronted Revan in the Sith Embassy , Shasa employed a Mandalorian heavy blaster and a Sith energy shield during combat . She also owned a cybernetic implant called the Bavakar cardio package . After the Jedi Civil War , Shasa possessed a Fira sword , a datapad , and a comlink . Because she was a Selkath , she was able to breathe both underwater and on land . Powers and abilities . Because Shasa had a natural ability with the Force , she was capable of gripping and moving objects with the Force . She also utilized the Force to perform mind tricks and was able to create a whirlwind of Force energy that could encircle her opponent . After she formed her order of Force adepts , Shasa developed other Force powers , including a technique that allowed her to sense deception with the Force . She created two other techniques , one involved using the Force to sense the call of a giant Firaxan shark named the Progenitor — whom the Selkath believed to be their evolutionary ancestor — and wield it against her enemies . The other was a telepathic power that imitated wave action that was similar to Manaan ' s oceans . Shasa was capable of fighting unarmed , with a blaster , and with a fira . Behind the scenes . Shasa was first featured in the 2003 Xbox and PC video game " " , created by BioWare . Her story was indirectly expanded by Cory J . Herndon in the third part of the Planet Hoppers article " " , published by Wizards of the Coast in February 2004 .

Peña confirmed that the Selkath in the image was Shasa . In - game , there are two ways to convince Shasa and her fellow Selkath to abandon the Sith . The first is a datapad from the Dark Jedi Master ' s chambers ; after the player shows Shasa the datapad , she and her friends immediately depart the Embassy in order to alert the local authorities . The second is through a token given to Revan from Shasa ' s dying friend Galas ; however , Shasa will at first become reluctant , going as far to accuse Revan of killing Galas . If the player has enough skill with persuasion or has the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan in their party , Shasa and her fellow Selkath will accept the truth . In the non - canon dark - sided storyline , Revan can either kill Shasa and her friends or congratulate them for learning the Sith ways , allowing them to continue under the Sith ' s tutelage . Should the player fail to obtain the quest to find Shasa before entering the Sith Embassy , the player will be unable to have information to reason with the Council in Ahto City . This would result in Revan ' s execution upon exiting the Sith Embassy .
