Keelyvine Reus Keelyvine Reus was a Human female Jedi General during the Clone Wars . She had the tutelage of the Padawan Tyzen Xebec foisted upon her during the conflict after Xebec ' s former Master , Bolla Ropal , was slain by the bounty hunter Cad Bane . She was teamed with Admiral Dron and Jedi Master Kit Fisto on an expedition to the vital agriworld Ukio , which supplied the Grand Army of the Republic with food supplies . The emergence of the Confederate tactical droid " Doctor , " and his plot to ruin the planet ' s crops resulted in an engagement , with the Republic emerging victorious thanks to the actions of Xebec and Reus , among others . Reus ' s next mission with Xebec involved her being dispatched to the Valsedian asteroid belt , which was home to a key mining operation that had allegedly been sold to the Confederacy by Torpo the Hutt . As the asteroid belt was held by the Hutt Cartel , there was a diplomatic sensitivity that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was loathe to breach . Reus and Xebec , along with Master Obi - Wan Kenobi , Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his own Padawan Ahsoka Tano infiltrated the asteroid belt ' s mining facility , before breaking up to better determine the nature of the supposed Confederate presence there . As a result , Reus encountered Confederate agent Asajj Ventress , and fought a duel with the woman , discovering in the process that Torpo was in fact a patsy in a scheme of Jabba Desilijic Tiure ' s design . The Jedi were nonetheless able to liberate the Ugnaught workers at the facility . Biography . Clone Wars . Keelyvine Reus was a Human female Jedi Knight , who was instructed in the art of lightsaber combat by Jedi Master Dooku — a hard task - master who demanded excellence from the young woman . Reus later served as a General during the Clone Wars . In that pan - galactic conflict , during which the Confederacy of Independent Systems battled the Galactic Republic for supremacy , Reus was forced to take a Padawan learner , Tyzen Xebec , a Zabrak male . Xebec ' s former Jedi Master , Bolla Ropal , had been slain by the Confederate - allied bounty hunter Cad Bane in the wake of a battle at Devaron , and so Reus took Ropal ' s place as the Zabrak ' s instructor . She had also inherited Ropal ' s clone trooper commander , one nicknamed " Ganch . " Teamed with fellow Jedi Kit Fisto , as well as Admiral Dron , Reus commanded a Republic fleet consisting of a " Venator " - class Star Destroyer and two " Consular " - class frigates . The fleet was dispatched to Ukio , a vital agriworld that supplied the Republic troops with food . Upon being informed of their arrival by Dron , Reus instructed the Admiral to have her frigates form a sentry line , while the fleet was to be placed on yellow alert . Fisto could not detect any hint of danger , but Reus was adamant that any danger that they could not sense would prove the most potent . A clone informed Reus that they were receiving an incoming intelligence update from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Reus halted the briefing until Xebec was summoned to the bridge . Reus and Fisto were contacted by Masters Obi - Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu , and upon Xebec ' s arrival , the briefing commenced . The Jedi , along with Dron , conferred with Coruscant as to the background of Ukio ' s involvement in the war . Windu informed them that Ukio was not only vital to the Republic , but that it also supplied the entire Abrion sector and Triellus Trade Route with food . The planet had attempted to secede from the Republic just prior to the opening of the Clone Wars , but had been prevented from doing so by Grand Master Yoda . Kenobi noted that the citizenry were still divided , and that the planet was in enough political turmoil that it might attract the attention of Confederate agents such as Asajj Ventress , or even the enemy figurehead , her old saber instructor Count Dooku . Xebec was curious as to why the Confederacy would be interested in Ukio , as their droid army had no mouths to feed — Reus pointedly reminded him that their objective was likely stopping the Republic ' s supply rather than claiming the crops for themselves . Clone Intelligence had determined that Ukio was indeed possibly being targeted by the Confederacy , but aiding the Republic was the fact that the planet was protected by a powerful planetary shield . Consulting a readout , Reus noted that the shield would be strong enough to deflect a considerable enemy bombardment , and that was what puzzled Kenobi — there had been no reports of any major Confederate fleet movements anywhere near Ukio . Windu instructed the Jedi to perform reconnaissance and inspect the situation on the planet surface . He suspected that there might be Confederate sympathizers or saboteurs among the Ukians , and Reus obeyed . Conferring with Fisto after the meeting , Reus decided that the fleet should retain orbital patrol , in case the intelligence reports were erroneous , and that they should perform sensor analysis on the planetary shield to hunt for weak spots . Reus instructed her Padawan to take a team to Ukio ' s surface and survey the planetary defenses . As Xebec departed , Reus confided in Fisto her feelings that the Padawan was reckless and lacked focus . The Nautolan assured her that she would eventually be able to connect with him , in time , through the Force . Confederate machinations . Dron soon alerted Reus and Fisto to an incoming signal . The Ukian satellite network had detected a lone Confederate " Lucrehulk " - class battleship over Ukio ' s horizon , and Reus was concerned by the development . The lone Confederate ship ' s presence was suspicious , but could not inflict any real damage on Ukio ' s shield . Fisto suspected that it was a lure to pull the fleet to the other side of the planet , and so Reus ordered Dron to hold their current position while she and Fisto would perform reconnaissance in their Delta - 7B " Aethersprite " - class light interceptors . Deploying in her personal fighter , Reus was joined by Fisto as they headed toward the enemy battleship . Upon reaching the enemy craft , Reus observed that it was deploying modified seismic tank s , which she detected were unarmed . She was puzzled as to just what the tanks were doing , and they subsequently approached the planetary shield , deploying a cloudy black substance all over it . Fisto attempted to run a diagnostic of the substance before moving to engage the tanks . Reus soon realized that destroying the tanks would not prevent them from releasing the substance , so while Fisto transmitted his diagnostic material back to the fleet , she had her astromech droid try and reach Dron . The communication between her and Dron was fragmented , however , as the battleship was jamming most frequencies . The admiral informed her that he had forwarded Fisto ' s material to the other ships in the fleet , and that they had made several findings . Acknowledging Dron ' s message , Reus and Fisto headed back to the fleet so that they could communicate clearly . Back on the flagship , Reus and Fisto joined Dron in listening to a report from Captain Pharl McQuarrie . The captain had determined that the substance was soil from the Moorjan badlands — an electro - static compound that would cling to the planetary shield . Reus was curious as to whether the soil was doing any actual damage — McQuarrie assured her that it was not . However , the soil was in fact photoreactive , causing it to move across the shield in tandem with the planet ' s orbit ; in effect , the soil would continually block out Ukio ' s sun , no matter how the planet rotated . Reus immediately understood the implications — by creating a perpetual eclipse , the Confederacy would stop the vital sunlight from shining on the Ukian crops , which in turn would cause them to die out . Breaking through the jamming signals , Reus established contact with the Ukian Liege . She informed him of the situation , and he was not at all pleased — the crops of Ukio were highly sensitive , and could not be robbed of any more sunlight . Despairing , the liege suggested that they drop the shield in order to disperse the Moorjan dirt , but Reus , as well as Ganch , who was with the liege , advised against such an action , as it was probably exactly what the Confederate forces wanted him to do . The Ukian protested , however , pointing out that the Republic would soon have nothing more to defend . Reus consulted McQuarrie to make sure that the liege ' s plan would work — the captain confirmed that it would indeed scatter the Moorjan soil to the Ukian winds . Reus relented and instructed the liege to drop the shields fifteen minutes from that time , in a size only as large as the cloud and as briefly as possible . Meanwhile , she ordered Dron to take the fleet to the Confederate battleship , reminding him that time was of the essence . As they neared the battleship , they would lose all communications due to the jamming , and they needed to be there when the shield was dropped to ensure that no enemy craft would make it through . The Jedi also deigned that the destruction of the battleship would be an objective . Battle at Ukio . Reus returned to her fighter , and with Fisto accompanying her , led Blue Squadron , comprised of V - 19 Torrent starfighters , into combat against the " Lucrehulk " - class battleship . She instructed her fellow pilots to close up their formation in order to allow her flagship an open line of fire . As they made their approach , the Liege dropped the shields on schedule , dispersing the cloud . This prompted the enemy battleship to deploy Vulture droids to engage the Republic fighters . A vicious and chaotic dogfight broke out , as Reus and her pilots fought both enemy droids and the remaining seismic tanks . As the carnage continued , a trio of Confederate " Sheathipede " - class transport shuttles broke through the hole in the shield and were able to land on Ukio . As the battle raged in space , Reus attempted to contact Xebec , but the communications were still jammed . Eventually , the Confederate battleship was destroyed , bringing an end to the signal jamming . Fisto was relieved , but the atmospheric ionization continued to prevent Reus from contacting Xebec . She decided that they would have to make their way toward the surface and see for themselves what was happening on Ukio . To that end , she resolved to meet up with her Padawan directly . Attempting to contact Ganch , she was instead put through to an Agricultural Corps worker named Sanya , who directed Reus to her Padawan and lowered the planetary shields . The Jedi Knight found her Padawan battling Confederate troops near a landed " Sheathipede " - class shuttle in an Ukian field . He had destroyed a series of devices that had prompted most beings on Ukio to go berserk and violently turn against their true nature . Although Xebec had been able to dispatch the battle droids , he had been cornered and disarmed by the Confederate mastermind , a T - series tactical droid known as " Doctor . " As the droid closed in on the unarmed Xebec , Reus approached , lightsabers drawn , and dispatched the enemy commander . Reus , glad that her Padawan was unharmed , explained how she had located him , and commended him for his actions . Ganch had been among those affected by the Doctor ' s devices , but had been successfully detained by Xebec . After the battle , Reus joined Fisto , Xebec , and Sanya at a landing pad for debriefing . The effects of the Doctor ' s devices had been localized and temporary — health checks indicated that most workers and clones had regained mental stability . Reus instructed Xebec to have Ganch round up all of the waylaid gigaun herds that had run rampant during the incursion . She also applauded Sanya ' s efforts , before the group were approached by the liege . The Ukian was furious and demanded that the Republic forces leave immediately . He had been stripped of his position following the tumultuous events , and as his last official act , it was his formal request that the Republic leave Ukio . As it turned out , the Ukian stock had plummeted as a result of the battle , allowing Corporate Alliance Magistrate Passel Argente to purchase the planet itself , placing it directly under Confederate control . Respite on Coruscant . Reus , Xebec , Sanya , and Ganch returned to Coruscant aboard the " Venator " - class Star Destroyer , " Selfless " . Before debarking , Reus assured Sanya that her service on Ukio would be mentioned to the Jedi Council . Ganch reported that he had fully recovered from his earlier ordeal , before the group was approached by clone Captain Rex , bearing a priority message from the Council — Reus and Xebec were to report to the Jedi Temple immediately . With Ganch and Sanya taking leave to make use of the Republic Service Organization , the two Jedi departed for the temple . There they met Jedi Masters Yoda and Kenobi , as well as Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan , Ahsoka Tano . Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was also in attendance in the briefing room via hologram , in addition to the astromech droid R2 - D2 . Palpatine commenced the briefing , claiming that there were concerns around the Republic ' s alliance with the Hutt Cartel . One of the most influential members of the cartel , Jabba Desilijic Tiure , had aired concerns over one of his distant cousins , Torpo the Hutt , who had made a deal with the Confederacy . Reus ' s immediate concern was any Republic trade route that might be in jeopardy , but Palpatine assuaged her fears , as the issue was not as critical as that . The area in contention was the Valsedian asteroid belt , which was a key source of ore that was used as fuel for vehicles and weaponry . According to law , the asteroid belt would remain under Hutt control , but could not be sold to the Confederacy , which was where Torpo had apparently transgressed . The nature of the alliance with the cartel prevented a proper investigation into Jabba ' s intelligence , and also stopped the Republic from sending a full military force to ascertain the nature of the Confederate presence at Valsedian . A small task force of Jedi would be sent instead , comprising of Reus , Xebec , Skywalker , Kenobi , and Tano , under the cover of passing as smugglers . The duty of leading the investigation and any potential negotiations fell to Generals Reus and Kenobi , while Skywalker would do the piloting . Before departing , Reus contacted Ganch and informed him that he would not be required for the operation of Valsedian . Reus then made her way to the Jedi Archives and mused upon the bust of Dooku that sat there , the last of the Lost Twenty to be immortalized there . Kenobi joined her , and the pair briefly discussed the man who was now the figurehead of the enemy , before discussing the nature of the mission itself , and the political baggage it entailed — an element that Reus did not relish at all . The group took Skywalker ' s G9 Rigger freighter " Twilight " , with his " Aethersprite " - class interceptor kept in the hold , and departed Coruscant . The Valsedian Operation . As the " Twilight " approached the asteroid belt , Skywalker boarded his interceptor and flew independently , serving as a contingency should negotiations on the prime asteroid take a turn for the worse . Xebec piloted them towards the asteroid and landed the freighter within a cave . As there was no breathable atmosphere , the Jedi were forced to don breath masks . As the narrow tunnels of the asteroid were playing havoc with their sensor readings , Kenobi instructed Tano and Zybec to investigate some of the smaller tunnels , as their smaller stature would allow them to sufficiently navigate . Reus took umbage at Kenobi instructing her Padawan without prior consultation , as in her opinion the young Zabrak required " special consideration . " As Kenobi and Reus entered an area featuring artificial atmosphere , they encountered a Twi ' lek . Wasting no time , Reus brandished one of her lightsabers , and demanded that the Twi ' lek take them to his master . The Twi ' lek protested , claiming that his master , though in charge of the mining operation , was far from Valsedian . As Kenobi manacled their new captive to the wall , the Twi ' lek identified himself as Bib Fortuna . The Jedi , believing the Twi ' lek to be dim - witted , persisted with their questioning until Kenobi detected that the Padawans were in danger . As he left to investigate , Reus attempted to glean further information from the Twi ' lek , asking where Torpo was located . The captive Twi ' lek revealed that Torpo was present on the asteroid , confusing the Jedi Knight . At that moment , Force - sensitive Confederate agent Asajj Ventress emerged , brandishing her lightsabers . Reus , igniting her own weapons , engaged Ventress in a duel , attacking the Confederate with aggression that surprised her opponent . The pair bandied words as they fought , Reus recognizing her opponent ' s paired lightsabers as a mark of Dooku ' s tutelage . Although Ventress claimed to fear nothing when challenged , Reus recalled her own experiences as Dooku ' s pupil , and could recognize that her opponent feared him as she did in her youth . As the duel progressed , Ventress cut the Twi ' lek captive free , urging him to depart . The combatants progressed towards an area with artificial walls — reaching a deadlock in the contest , Ventress slashed at the walls with her weapon , revealing the captive Torpo . The Hutt , in a state of panic , urged Reus to evacuate him and remove the Confederate forces from Valsedian . As the Jedi Knight and Hutt conversed , Ventress moved around behind the captive , thrusting her weapons through Torpo ' s back , killing him instantly . Reus was puzzled by the development , allowing Ventress to hurl her into a wall with the Force . Ventress then flung Torpo ' s corpse into the Jedi Knight , holding her captive until the Confederate agent could make her escape . Reus eventually prised herself free , making her way to one of the asteroid ' s docking bays to find that Kenobi , Xebec and Tano had liberated the Ugnaught workers being held captive by Ventress ' s thugs , and Skywalker had destroyed the enemy ' s Vulture droid contingent . As Reus revealed Torpo ' s fate , one of the Ugnaughts noted that Torpo was not the true master of the mining operation — rather , Torpo never acted without direction from Bib Fortuna . Skywalker was familiar with Fortuna , and identified him as one of Jabba Desilijic Tiure ' s henchmen . Reus revealed that Fortuna had escaped during her duel with Ventress — Skywalker was outraged that they had been played for fools by Jabba , who had perpetrated the sale of Valsedian to the Confederacy and arranged to have the Jedi tie up the " loose ends . " Upon returning to Coruscant , Reus and Xebec were reunited with Ganch and Sanya , who had spent their leave time hunting a saboteur who had plotted to kill clone troopers at the RSO . Personality and traits . Keelyvine Reus was a stern and succinct Jedi , and she shared her own philosophy openly with Master Kit Fisto . He mistook it for a saying of Master Yoda ' s , but she humorlessly informed him otherwise . Reus was not amused by Fisto ' s more flippant attitude , nor did she appreciate the same trait held by Obi - Wan Kenobi . Reus bemoaned the attitudes of both Kenobi and Skywalker , particularly their constant banter . She also took several opportunities to criticize Skywalker in particular , both for his relationship with Palpatine and his complaining that he had predicted the Valsedian scenario , where Jabba Desilijic Tiure ' s hand was revealed — the Jedi Knight chose to make a disparaging comment about Skywalker ' s status as the " Chosen One . " Reus continually chose not to humor her fellow Jedi when they wanted to make light of a given situation . Reus ' s relationship with her Padawan , Tyzen Xebec , was strained , and she had little tolerance for his tardiness , feeling that he was unfocused and reckless by nature . She confided her misgivings to Fisto , but he assured her that there was no single way to train a Padawan and that she would find her own path . Later , Reus bristled when Kenobi issued instructions to her Padawan — it was her belief that Xebec required special instruction , and that independence was not always an asset at this stage in his development . Kenobi claimed that independence in a Padawan was vital , but Reus disagreed , again citing the example of how Skywalker had matured as a sufficient counterexample . When faced with a threatening situation , such as the arrival of a Confederate craft at Ukio , Reus acted decisively , deciding to perform reconnaissance tasks personally . She was of a singular focus , borne from learning lightsaber combat from Dooku , a master who loathed apathy and demanded perfection from his students . Her apprenticeship to Dooku caused her to fear failing her instructor , a trait that she recognized in Asajj Ventress when encountering her on Valsedian . Focus and dedication to the task at hand was a common theme for Reus : When Fisto began to believe that Reus was starting to care about her Padawan , she brushed it off as being concern for the mission objectives . On the Valsedian operation , Reus was disinterested in any method of subterfuge of clandestine behavior , and did not hesitate to brandish her weapon at Bib Fortuna upon first encountering him . When battling Ventress , she exhibited an unusual level of aggression for a Jedi — her opponent was also surprised by Reus ' s reluctance to talk during the engagement . Later in the Ukio operation , however , Reus was genuinely concerned for Xebec ' s well - being , and was relieved to find him safe . She also praised his efforts during the battle , as he had been able to almost single - handedly defeat the Confederate incursion . Additionally , the Jedi was highly impressed with the conduct of the AgriCorps worker Sanya during the battle . Powers and abilities . During the opening stages of the battle at Ukio , Keelyvine Reus demonstrated her combat ability by destroying several of the orbiting seismic tanks . In addition , she was a skilled lightsaber combatant , particularly in Jar ' Kai as she wielded two lightsabers . Having been trained by Dooku in the art of lightsaber combat , she was able to match another of Dooku ' s students , Asajj Ventress in a duel . Reus was also able to dispatch the Confederate leader " Doctor " with her sabers . Equipment . Keelyvine Reus wielded twin lightsabers , and also owned a Delta - 7B " Aethersprite " - class light interceptor , which she piloted ably . Appearance and attire . Keelyvine Reus wore green , non - traditional garments as opposed to standard Jedi robes , over which she would sometimes wear a cloak . She also wore green lipstick , which matched her green eyes . Her hair was brown , which she pinned in a bun behind her head , with two hair sticks . Behind the scenes . Keelyvine Reus was first introduced in Part Five of the " " , published in 2009 . The character was designed by Thomas Hodges and named by Pablo Hidalgo , who illustrated and wrote the comic , respectively . In Part Five of " Act on Instict " , she is mistakenly called " General Geus " by a clone naval officer in a single frame . The character later appears in the 2010 sequel to " Act on Instinct " , " " , which was developed at a story level by Hodges , and scripted by Hidalgo .
