Jorad was sent to carry out his new duties on the planet Prakith , where the headquarters of the Inquisitorius was located . He carried out patrols in the planet ' s capital , Prak City , where he searched for Force - users . When a team of Alderaanian Resistance agents traveled to Prakith to free Jedi Master Denia , who had been captured by the Inquisitorius , Jorad located the agents in Prak City . He engaged them in combat and attempted to capture them . Biography . Jorad was a Human male born during the waning years of the Galactic Republic who joined the Jedi Order . Within the Order , he became a Jedi Guardian , a combat - orientated Jedi specialization . However , in 19 BBY , Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , the leader of the Republic , issued Order 66 to the Republic ' s clone troopers , calling for the execution of the Jedi . The Republic was reformed into the Galactic Empire , but Jorad was able to survive the Jedi purge that the new government subsequently implemented . However , he was eventually captured by members of the Inquisitorius , an order of Dark Side Adepts who served the Empire as Jedi hunters . They turned Jorad to the dark side of the Force , and he joined their order , taking up the title of " Inquisitor . " Jorad was assigned to begin carrying out his new duties on Prakith , a planet located in the Deep Core region of the galaxy , where the Inquisitorius was based . His role there was to patrol the planetary capital , Prak City , to locate any Force - users there . He took any whom he found to the Citadel Inquisitorius , the headquarters of the Inquisitorius , for questioning . After Inquisitor Valin Draco imprisoned Jedi Master Denia in the Citadel around 17 BBY , the Alderaanian Resistance — a group of anti - Imperial rebels from the planet Alderaan — sent a group of agents to Prakith to rescue her . They passed through the Work Zone sector of Prak City , where Jorad was patrolling aboard a " Theta " - class shuttle along with a Prak City Guard Squad . After Jorad detected the presence of the agents , he planned to arrest them . The shuttle swooped down toward a clearing where the Resistance team was standing , and Jorad and the guards disembarked . The shuttle then took off again , and Jorad approached the Resistance agents while his guards flanked him on all four sides . Jorad introduced himself to the rebels and attempted to arrest them ; however , they resisted , and he ignited his lightsaber and engaged them in combat . Personality and traits . Jorad was prideful , which made him vulnerable to the dark side and allowed him to easily adapt to the role of an Inquisitor . He was also ambitious , and when he was assigned to serve on Prakith , he hoped to make a significant arrest so that he could get off patrol duty and take up a more important position in the Citadel Inquisitorius . In an attempt to achieve this , he used all forms of trickery and deception that were available to him to capture Force - users alive . As an Inquisitor , Jorad wore red - and black - colored robes , the standard uniform for members of his order . He also carried a comlink , a tracking device , and a code cylinder , which could be used to activate an elevator in the Citadel Inquisitorius . Powers and abilities . Jorad was able to use telekinesis to move people and objects , and he also knew how to use mind tricks to influence the minds of his opponents . He was bilingual and had the ability to speak both Basic and Bocce . When attacking a Force - user , one of Jorad ' s favored tactics was to hide or feint . This allowed him to draw his opponent closer to him so that he could use the Force to knock them over and then engage them in melee combat . He would also capture weak , non - Force - sensitive opponents to use as hostages . When in melee combat , Jorad would attack targets with both his lightsaber and a blaster pistol . Behind the scenes . Jorad was created by writer John Jackson Miller and made his first and only appearance in " Sword of the Empire " , the ninth scenario in the " Dawn of Defiance " campaign , a Wizards of the Coast online supplement to the " Star Wars Roleplaying Game " . In the supplement , Jorad ' s encounter with the players , who role - play as the team of Resistance agents , can begin in a number of ways . When they arrive in Prak City , if any of them use the Force while they are there , the Inquisitorius detect this and Jorad is sent to investigate . If the players fail to trigger the encounter with Jorad this way , it occurs after they have met with the Stereb Herdr ' tui , when Jorad finds them during a random search of the city . If the players defeat Jorad , they can take his code cylinder and use it later in the scenario to assist them in gaining entry to the Citadel Inquisitorius .
