Denia Denia was a female Human Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars , despite her advanced age . Biography . A Force - sensitive Human female , Denia was discovered by the Jedi Order and educated in the ways of the Force within the academy at the Coruscant Jedi Temple . Eventually attaining the rank of Jedi Master after much study and contemplation of the Force as a diplomat , Denia became one of the few Jedi to achieve the rank of Sage Master . Taking the Human male Valin Draco as her Padawan , she taught him all she knew of the Force . Denia , middle - aged for a Jedi , reported to Coruscant when the Clone Wars erupted between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Already at an advanced age for a Human , Denia dutifully took up the rank of General in the Grand Army of the Republic and led clone troopers against the Separatist Droid Army . Surviving until the last year of the war , Denia was contacted by Master Ashka Boda who was searching for Jedi to assist in setting up a secret network that would lead Jedi who survived the Separatist attack on Almas back to Coruscant . Denia was assigned to Cato Neimoidia where she would serve under High Council member Plo Koon during the battle for the planet . During the fighting , Denia was rendered unconscious on the battlefield after a Vulture droid crashed in close proximity to her . Her form was discovered by a general in the Separatist Army , who drugged her and had her body carried to a nearby palace . Not long after , the Clone Wars ended suddenly , with the slaughter of the Separatist Council and the reorganization of the Republic into the victorious Galactic Empire . On the losing end of the war , the Separatists fled the palace and Cato Neimoidia , leaving Denia in an artificial coma within its walls . Soon after the end of the war , the palace that housed Denia was occupied by Darga the Hutt and his minions . Locating Denia , the Hutt decided to keep the middle - aged woman as a bargaining tool should need ever arise and had her moved to the subbasements where Igren Demos kept her comatose . During the months surrounding Darga ' s reign in the palace , a band of anti - Imperial freedom fighters infiltrated Darga ' s palace on assignment for Senator Bail Organa of the Imperial Senate . Reaching out to the rebels through the Force , Denia was able to direct them to her location despite being in a coma . Deactivating the machines keeping her in a coma , the rebels woke Denia , who thanked them for their assistance . Filling her in on the fall of the Republic and the dissolution of the Jedi Order , the group headed upstairs to find that Darga had fled upon news of Denia ' s escape . Overhearing Demos ' conversation with an Imperial Inquisitorius member via the HoloNet , the group escaped the palace and took Denia to the " Resurgence " to receive medical treatment . Aboard the ship , Denia was healed and approached by Senator Organa with the proposition of joining his secret movement known as the Alderaanian Resistance . Accepting the offer , Denia was determined to bring down Darga the Hutt and his devious plot known as the Sarlacc Project . Going into deep meditation , Denia found the Force muddled and her ability to foresee diminished . Deciding that a holocron would boost her abilities , Denia and her allies planned a trek that would take them to the ruins of the Almas Academy in the Cularin system . While Denia believed that many of the artifacts were probably stolen , the Force was drawing her to the world and using the coordinates obtained by Senator Organa , Denia dispatched her comrades to the ruins . Upon their return with the Qornah Holocron , Denia was disturbed by reports that Valin Draco was alive , now an Inquisitor of the Empire , and responsible for attacking the group . Going into a deep trance , she set her comrades on another mission regarding the Sarlacc Project . While in meditation , the " Resurgence " was attacked and destroyed . Denia , surviving the attack , was taken prisoner by her former Padawan , Valin Draco . Imprisoned on the Deep Core world Prakith , Denia was held deep within the Citadel Inquisitorius by Draco , who quickly drew tired of torturing the old Jedi Master . Refusing to give away any information regarding Organa ' s organization , Denia was nearly comatose when her rebel allies broke into the Citadel and located her chamber . Strapped to the torture rack , Denia appeared helpless to do anything as Draco attempted to destroy her before taking out her allies . However , she managed to deflect Draco ' s bursts of Force lightning back into him and unleash a powerful Force attack that allowed her companions to escape . Her great strength expended in this encounter cost her life , yet she willingly sacrificed it to save Organa ' s men and their cause .
