Shigar Konshi Shigar Konshi was a male Kiffar Padawan of the Jedi Order who served the Galactic Republic during the Cold War with the Sith Empire . History . Jedi training . A Force - sensitive Kiffar of Clan Konshi , Shigar Konshi bore a blue on each cheek to identify himself with his clan . Born on Kiffu circa 3661 BBY during the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , his parents were both killed in an accident and he was taken offworld as an infant and turned over to the Coruscant Jedi Temple for Jedi training . Trained in the ways of the Force at the Temple , the muscular and handsome Konshi was selected as a Padawan apprentice by the recently appointed Grand Master , Satele Shan , a descendent of Bastila Shan and former Sith Lord - turned Jedi Revan . Following years of training and after constructing a green - bladed lightsaber , Shan thought Konshi was prepared for Knighthood but Konshi was deemed unready to face the Jedi Trials due to his lack of self control and tact . Despite her opinion and her superior rank , his master refused to countermand the Jedi High Council ' s authority and instead ordered her apprentice to strive to change the Council ' s decision . Upon hearing the Council ' s decision , Konshi took a walk in the Old District of Coruscant to cool off and ran into a firefight between Black Sun gangsters and Mandalorian warrior Dao Stryver . There he met Larin Moxla , a former Republic trooper and a fellow Kiffar . He found out that Stryver was looking for a woman named Lema Xandret and something called " Cinzia " . He took this information back to his master , who sent him off to a mission with Moxla to Nal Hutta to investigate an auction being held by the Hutt matriarch Tassaa Bareesh . Nal Hutta . Upon their arrival on Nal Hutta Konshi and Moxla traveled to the Palace of Tassaa Bareesh , however , the whole area was guarded by Gamorrean guards , servants of the Hutt . Disguised as two of the famed Rancor Riders , Konshi and Moxla were able to enter the palace unharmed . Once there , they were encountered a protocol droid , who instructed the two to go to Quartermaster Droog . While Droog was a Hutt , Konshi was able to manipulate him into allowing them to pass further inside the palace with the additional bribe of a few credit chips . Despite the success of getting inside , Konshi figured that it was a matter of time before they were discovered or Droog alerted the guards and so he and Moxla rushed through the palace to look for information . Discovering that both the Republic and the Empire had entered the palace to join the auction , Konshi and Moxla made their way to the underground chambers to avoid detection and reach the " Cinzia " before the auction began . Crossing through the tunnels , Konshi and Moxla encounter a trio of Hortek that were guarding the area . Influencing them with the Force , Konshi ' s ploy was almost successful until they were attacked by security drones . The two Kiffar were able to destroy them and enter the security code at the doorway to the accommodation chamber of an Imperial Security team led by Yeama , who told them that Ula Vii was missing . Eventually , they were met by Sergeant Potannin , introducing himself as an emissary of the Grand Master Shan . Ambush in the Palace . During the auction , Konshi was able to locate and infiltrate the vault holding the material to be auctioned , only to discover explosives that had been secured by a Sith Acolyte named Eldon Ax . Konshi ignited his lightsaber and engaged Ax in a duel and was able to gain the upper hand and disarm Ax . Before Ax could be arrested however , Dao Stryver arrived in the vault and joined the fight which was cut short by an explosion from inside the vault where a superior race of droids , nicknamed " hexes " due to their six arms were rapidly multiplying . Battling the droids , Konshi formed an alliance with Ax and Stryver and participate in a vicious battle with the droids . During the battle , Konshi was arrested by the Hutts and was taken to Bareesh after the droids were subdued and the Sith escaped . Blamed for the damage done to the palace , Konshi was forced to negotiate with Tassaa Bareesh , who would eventually capitulate and allowed Konshi to leave in search of the missing ship . After being released from Hutt custody he made contact with Moxla and instructed her to accompany him on the mission . At the spaceport , Konshi met with Vii , Moxla and Jet Nebula , on board the " Auriga Fire " . Alliance with the Sith . Sebaddon . Since Stryver went after the NaviComputer , Shigar and the crew needed a way to find this , despite the lack of the Navicomputers onboard the " Auriga Fire " . When Larin found a way to track down the planet Shigar used his psychometric abilities and thereby detect the position of any planet they find . Although , Shigar harbored doubts about his talent , but finally declared to try it . He later contacted his master and informed her about the situation . Encouraged by the words of his master , Shigar began to meditate , but doesn ' t succeed . While Larin began to sought Shigar ' s wounds , he told her about his despondency regarding the undertaking . She told him that he knew what he had to do , but always believed that he could succeed rather then fail . She eventually revealed in the past that she betrayed her corrupt superiors , which is why she resigned from her squadron . After a leaving the room , Shigar regretted his reaction , but focused exclusively on the metal fragments of the nest and realized that Larin words were true . With new knowledge revealed , he was able to experience a new dimension of psychometrics . However , since he had realized that it was hard work , Shigar never gave up and continued to track the position of the home planet of the hexes . Gaining the knowledge throughout the Force , Shigar and the crew were able to find the planet . Arriving to the planet with a fleet of Republic ships , Shigar asked his master to be allowed to participate in the negotiations on Sebaddon , in which her master agreed on immediately . The Jedi Grand Master then contacted the planet and indicated its peaceful intentions , what Shigar and his team also listened with . When they received contact from one of the Hexes , Shigar realized that the droid would not dwell on it . This was when missiles were launched from the planet , containing thousands of copies of hex droids that began to attack the fleet . Shigar immediately contacted Commander Gurin and instructed him to flee , but it was already too late . Eventually , Satele ordered an evacuation . Moving throughout the ship , Shigar and his master were able to make it to the main gate of the ship before they were ambushed by nine of the hexes . Since Satele told him that these droids could affect the power , Shigar was able to pass through the hexes and opened the door to suck out the droids into space . Since her master didn ' t have a space suit on , Shigar was able to save her by placing his master into a bubble of power . Despite the confrontation with a hex , the two return without prejudice to the " Auriga Fire " . Shigar accompanied the Grand Master to the cockpit , where they made contact with Strvyer . She ordered the Jedi to meet in half an hour with her in the moon . Despite his suspicions , Shigar accompanied with Vii and Larin to the meeting , which also includes the Sith , Eldon Ax and Darth Chratis . Since there had been some disputes between the Sith and the Jedi , Dao told both sides that the hex droids had the potential to destroy all life within the galaxy . Therefore , she suggested to form an alliance for both the Republic and the Empire . Together , the group of unlikely companions would later form an alliance to battle the droids on their homeworld Sebaddon . The Empire and the Republic both joined in the battle against the hexes , where Konshi confronted the Sith Lord Darth Chratis . Konshi survived the ensuing battle and Darth Chratis ' s temptation , which earned him the right to go on to face the Jedi Trials . While Konshi and Moxla started to develop feelings for each other , Konshi rejected her advances due to his commitment to the Jedi Order . Powers and abilities . Shigar Konshi showed much potential even as an apprentice and was able to hold his own against a Mandalorian and a Sith apprentice at the same time . Showing proficiency in the use of telekinesis and telepathy , Konshi also had a knack for the rare technique of psychometry . While not favored by the Order , Konshi knew the technique of controlling Force lightning and only used it sparingly .
