Ash Jarvee was a female member of the Jedi Order who lived during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . Within the Order , Jarvee became one of the Altisian Jedi , a rogue Jedi sect led by Jedi Master Djinn Altis that was considered by orthodox Jedi to be heretical . Altis taught Jarvee a number of Force techniques , and by the time of the Clone Wars — a conflict fought between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems — Jarvee was in her teens . The Altisian Jedi did not join the Grand Army of the Republic and assist the Republic war effort directly , as had the Jedi Order proper , and instead they unofficially helped the Republic by providing humanitarian relief to worlds affected by the war . In 22 BBY , a number of the Altisian Jedi were dispatched aboard the " Vernal " - class freighter " Wookiee Gunner " , on a mission to administer aid to the inhabitants of the war - ravaged world Yarille . Jarvee accompanied the mission , and she acted as a section commander among the crew of " Wookiee Gunner " . En route , " Wookiee Gunner " detected a distress signal that had been sent by the Republic Intelligence agent Hallena Devis from the planet JanFathal , and Altis contacted the nearest Republic warship , the " Acclamator " - class assault ship " Leveler " , to offer the assistance of his Jedi in extracting Devis . Gilad Pellaeon , the commander of " Leveler " , agreed to the Jedi Master ' s proposal , and " Wookiee Gunner " rendezvoused with " Leveler " . Altis and the Jedi Knights Callista Masana and Geith Eris transferred to the Republic ship , and in their absence Jarvee was left in command of " Wookiee Gunner " . The Jedi freighter then departed from the rendezvous point , to resume its course to Yarille . A short time afterward , Altis , Eris , Masana , and a Republic strike team landed on JanFathal to rescue Devis , while " Leveler " jumped into hyperspace to evade the Separatist destroyer " Reaper " . " Leveler " arrived in the Poressi system and became stranded as a result of technical problems relating to the ship ' s navigation computer . " Wookiee Gunner " tracked " Leveler " to the system and approached the Republic warship , and Jarvee contacted Pellaeon to offer him the help of " Wookiee Gunner " remaining Jedi . Pellaeon informed her that " Leveler " communications encryption had been breached , so Jarvee contacted the Republic ' s Naval Command and obtained a new set communications codes . She then re - opened communications with Pellaeon and volunteered the use of the Jedi ' s Force abilities , to influence the malfunctioning navicomputer . Pellaeon agreed to Jarvee ' s proposal , and she boarded " Leveler " with a delegation of Altisian Jedi . After speaking to Altis via a comlink , to inform him that she had made contact with " Leveler " , Jarvee explained to Pellaeon the details of how the Jedi planned to use an esoteric Force technique to influence the computer . Jarvee and the other Jedi then stood in a circle around the bridge with clasped hands , and they used the Force to influence the navicomputer into taking " Leveler " back to the Fath system . Altis , Devis , and the strike team landed on " Leveler " , and Pellaeon told Jarvee that he planned to mention her in dispatches , to commend her for aiding " Leveler " . Masana then merged her consciousness with the ship ' s computer system and used concussion missiles to destroy the Separatist fleet bearing down on " Leveler " , and Jarvee and the other Jedi subsequently used their powers to influence the navicomputer again , to help " Leveler " to leave the Fath system . " Leveler " dropped Jarvee and the other Altisian Jedi off at a shipyard on the planet Kemla , where " Wookiee Gunner " was to rendezvous with them . While they waited , Jarvee sat with Masana , and the pair discussed Masana ' s recent experiences in the Fath system . " Wookiee Gunner " eventually arrived and took Jarvee and the other Jedi to Yarille , landing in the planet ' s capital city , Yen Bachask . There , Altis assigned Jarvee , Masana , and " Wookiee Gunner " other female section commanders to be the first group of Jedi to disembark from the freighter and make contact with the local population , because he believed that an all - female delegation would make the Jedi seem friendly . The party approached a nearby refugee camp , where they were greeted by a group of the world ' s inhabitants , who shook hands with Jarvee and her comrades . Personality and traits . Ash Jarvee was excitable and became elated when the Jedi successfully used their Force powers to bring " Leveler " to the Fath system . However , she felt embarrassed when Gilad Pellaeon told her that he would mention her in dispatches . Jarvee believed that people bonded well when placed in difficult situations , because such circumstances allowed individuals to see what those around them truly were . Powers and abilities . Djinn Altis taught Ash Jarvee and the other Altisian Jedi a number of Force powers that he had learned while traveling the galaxy . One such power , which Jarvee used to help " Leveler " enter hyperspace , allowed a group of Jedi to influence the performance of a navicomputer , and the technique was considered to be a rare ability amongst the Jedi . Behind the scenes . Ash Jarvee was created by Karen Traviss , and she appeared in the 2009 novel " " .
