Te Corso Te Corso was an Elomin female who served the New Jedi Order during both the Sith – Imperial War and the Second Imperial Civil War . Before the conclusion of the former conflict , she was a consultant to the ruling Triumvirate of the Jedi - allied Galactic Alliance , but the two organizations were ultimately defeated by the Galactic Empire in 130 ABY . The Jedi were then massacred by the One Sith , and their survivors , including Corso , were forced into hiding as the Sith seized control of the galaxy . Corso found her way to a Hidden Jedi Temple on the planet Taivas before 137 ABY ; by that time a Jedi Master , she helped rebuild a broken order . In that year , the Jedi Council dispatched Corso and three other Masters to meet with Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance Remnant . Shortly after they arrived in the Arkanis sector and boarded the flagship of the Remnant fleet , an attack came from the two groups ' common enemy : Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire . Corso and fellow Master Drok flew X - 83 TwinTail starfighter s alongside the Remnant ' s own forces in a defensive action as the fleet prepared to flee , and after a series of hyperspace jumps , they were able to help shake the Sith – Imperial pursuit . An alliance against Krayt ' s Empire was solidified , and the Jedi ambassadors remained with Stazi over the following weeks . Corso later organized and led the volunteer Sword Squadron during the Remnant ' s evacuation of the planet Dac following the poisoning of its oceans by the Sith – Imperials . With aid from their allies in the Empire - in - exile , the Jedi and Remnant forces saved 20 percent of the water world ' s residents , and Corso returned to Taivas . When Darth Krayt soon afterward learned of the Hidden Temple ' s location , the entire Alliance made a stand against the Imperial onslaught , and Corso was killed by the lightsaber of a powerful Sith trooper while protecting Jedi Master T ' ra Saa . The time bought by Corso ' s sacrifice allowed Saa to gather energy and release a beam of light into space at the moment of her own death , which created an escape corridor for the overmatched Alliance . Biography . Before the storm . The Elomin female Te Corso lived during the time of the Sith – Imperial War , and she became a member of the New Jedi Order prior to the conflict ' s end . On at least one occasion , she visited the galactic capital world of Coruscant to consult with the Triumvirate , the ruling body of the Jedi - allied Galactic Alliance . While on the capital , Corso additionally met Ona Antilles , the young daughter of Triumvir Bail Antilles . Jedi Master Kol Skywalker was another advisor to the Triumvirate , but in 130 ABY , they ignored his urgings of caution and approved a plan to strike at the Galactic Empire over the planet Caamas . An Imperial trap at Caamas soundly defeated the Alliance Fleet and cost them the war . Concurrent attacks on the Jedi Temples of Coruscant and Ossus by the Empire ' s One Sith allies decimated the order ' s ranks and scattered its survivors , including Corso , across the galaxy . The Sith seized control of the Empire and spent the next seven years hunting Jedi down , but by 137 ABY , Corso had made her way to a Hidden Jedi Temple on the planet Taivas , where the order worked to covertly rebuild its ranks . In 137 ABY , the temple was visited by a delegation of Imperial Knight s representing Emperor Roan Fel , whose Empire - in - exile opposed the Sith Empire from which he had been ousted . Corso was on Taivas when the princess Marasiah Fel proposed an alliance to the skeptical Jedi Council , who wrongly believed that Marasiah ' s father had ordered the attack on Ossus . Although her fellow Knights left Taivas to assist the former Jedi Cade Skywalker on a mission to assassinate the Sith Lord Darth Krayt , the princess remained at the temple to continue her negotiations . Forging friendship under fire . Severely injured by Skywalker ' s strike team , Krayt was taken to the brink of death and believed fully dead by the Jedi Council . Around the same time , the Empire - in - exile formally allied with the remnants of the Galactic Alliance , and the council decided that the time had come for the Jedi to take an active part in the ongoing war against the Sith – Imperials . Corso , by then a Jedi Master , was chosen as an emissary and sent to meet with Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance Remnant , along with fellow Masters Sayar Dun ' La , Asaak Dan , and Drok . Princess Marasiah provided a holomessage to vouch for them and prove that they were not Sith in disguise . The four Masters formed a squadron of X - 83 TwinTail starfighter s and rendezvoused with the Remnant fleet , stationed in the Arkanis sector . The Jedi were cleared to land in a hangar of Stazi ' s flagship , the " Alliance " , where they were greeted by the Admiral and several other Remnant officers . Corso introduced herself and her fellows , and her identity was confirmed to a wary Stazi by Ona Antilles , who now served the Remnant as a lieutenant . After Corso informed the Admiral of the council ' s intentions , she was interrupted by Imperial Knight Sigel Dare , who had come to the " Alliance " to request the use of a captured Imperial shuttle . Corso suggested retiring to a private location and invited the Imperial Knight to come , but Dare was eager to reach the planet Dac and retrieve her stranded comrade Treis Sinde . Intrigued by Sinde ' s role in helping Dac ' s resistance groups fight the world ' s occupying Sith – Imperial forces , Dan joined her , and the three remaining Jedi followed Stazi to the " Alliance " bridge . On the bridge of the Star Destroyer , Corso sensed something amiss seconds before the Sith – Imperial First Coruscant Task Force dropped out of hyperspace . The traitorous Shipman Tealart had kept the " Alliance " deep - space alarms off , and he used the distraction to shoot Stazi in the back just before being maimed by Drok ' s lightsaber . Stazi ' s second in command , Jhoram Bey , began to shout orders as Dun ' La took the Admiral to sick bay , and Corso volunteered both herself and Drok to join the Alliance starfighters ' rear - guard defensive action as the fleet prepared for lightspeed . Bey allowed it , and the two Jedi added their Twintails to the Remnant ' s CF9 Crossfire starfighter complement ; the group defended against attacking " Predator " - class fighters until the fleet was ready . After releasing anti - ion emission tracer s , the Remnant forces jumped to a rendezvous point in the Opoku system . The fleet was followed by the Imperials , however , who were tracing the frequency vibrations of the " Alliance " communications array . Bey commanded another hyperjump , during which he was advised of the Imperials ' tactic by a barely - conscious Stazi . After arriving in the Teraab sector , the entire fleet save for the " Alliance " was ordered out of the system as Bey shut down the array . Corso , Drok , and the rest of the fleet promptly returned to trap the arriving Imperials , who quickly fled into hyperspace themselves . The starfighters were recalled and the fleet left the system . A formal alliance was struck , and Corso and her brethren remained with the Remnant forces over the following weeks as Stazi recovered from his injury . Race against time . Shortly after the battle , the Remnant ' s Rogue Squadron discovered that the Sith – Imperials had poisoned the oceans of Dac . Volunteers from across the galaxy flocked to Stazi ' s banner as he arranged a massive evacuation , and Corso stood on the " Alliance " bridge with the Admiral as he appealed to General Oron Jaeger of the Empire - in - exile for help . Without word from his Emperor , who was out of contact while negotiating with Jedi representatives on the planet Agamar , Jaeger was unable to send aid . Corso , however , shared Jedi knowledge of a potential safe haven for the refugees , and additionally offered to organize an ersatz squadron of Jedi who had arrived with the volunteers . Stazi consented and quickly formulated a plan . Sword Squadron , as Corso dubbed it , worked in cooperation with the Rogues and infiltrated the Mon Calamari Shipyards . They took control of the yards ' turbolaser emplacements while ground and space forces eliminated the minimal remaining Imperial resistance . The volunteer Emergency evac fleet then spent ten hours evacuating the water world ' s residents , after which time Imperial reinforcements arrived in the form of the Outer Rim Third Fleet , whose guns turned on the fleeing refugees . Sword Squadron and the other present starfighter groups fought back , and the Sith – Imperials fled after General Jaeger — having finally received word from Fel — arrived with a fleet of his own . With the Empire - in - exile ' s help , twelve more hours of evacuation allowed 20 percent of Dac ' s population to be saved before the effects of the poison engulfed the entire planet . Enemy at the gates . In early 138 ABY , Corso , Dun ' La , and Drok returned to Taivas . With a three - way Alliance against Darth Krayt ' s Empire solidified , a group of Imperial Knights visited the Hidden Temple ; Cade Skywalker was close behind with another Knight : Master Antares Draco , who had been tortured by the Sith into revealing Taivas ' s location . Skywalker formulated a plan to trap the Sith – Imperials between the planet and the Alliance ' s combined fleets , and it was agreed to by Emperor Fel , Admiral Stazi , and the Jedi Council . The present Jedi and Imperial Knights , Corso included , prepared their defense . Taivas ' s magnetic forces prevented the attacking Imperial fleet from orbitally bombarding the planet , and a ground assault was consequently launched . A group of Jedi and Imperial Knights defended the temple ' s gates while Corso , Dun ' La , and Drok remained in the Council Chamber with Master T ' ra Saa , who coordinated the engagement through battle meditation . After the rest of the allied forces arrived in orbit , a fully recovered Darth Krayt unleashed his secret weapon : an army of powerful Sith troopers , whose starfighters plowed through friendly and enemy forces alike on their way to the temple . The defenders of the gate fell back to the Council Chamber , where Corso , Dun ' La , and Drok joined them in a stand against their new foes . The Jedi and Imperial Knights resisted the lightsabers of their mysterious attackers , and Skywalker ' s uncle Rawk quickly ordered the majority of the group to escape . Corso , Dun ' La , and Drok remained with the Skywalkers to protect Master Saa , who was gathering large amounts of energy . Corso was killed when a Sith trooper slashed her across the chest , and Dun ' La and Drok were similarly felled . Their sacrifices allowed Master Saa to survive until a Sith trooper ' s starfighter crashed into the Council Chamber , at which point she and Rawk focused the gathered energy into a beam of light . The light shot into space , destroying enemy vessels and creating an escape corridor for the overmatched ships of the Alliance , who used the opportunity to flee from the seemingly - invincible Sith troopers . Personality and traits . Te Corso was quick to take action during military emergencies and provide her services as a starfighter pilot . She volunteered to fly for the Galactic Alliance Remnant before formally striking an alliance with them ; Corso additionally referred to the Empire - in - exile as the " true Imperial forces " despite the fact that they had no official partnership with the Jedi . Her judgment was trusted by both the Galactic Alliance Triumvirate and the Jedi Council . Corso took no offense when Gar Stazi suggested that she could be a Sith in disguise , instead expressing admiration of the Admiral ' s caution and tact . She had magenta - colored skin , purple eyes , and no hair , and in 137 ABY , Corso used a blue - bladed lightsaber . One year later , she favored a green blade . Powers and abilities . A Jedi Master , Corso was sensitive to the Force . She was able to sense the impending arrival of an enemy task force from hyperspace and was additionally an apt pilot . While defending the Hidden Temple , Corso was killed in lightsaber combat by one of Darth Krayt ' s Sith troopers . Behind the scenes . Te Corso is a character in " " , a comic book series penned by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema . She first appeared in 2008 on the cover of the series ' along with Dun ' La , Dan , and Drok , in a drawing done by Omar Francia . However , none of the four were included in the issue itself . Ostrander and Duursema originally intended that they would accompany Skywalker on his mission to assassinate Darth Krayt — a mission that was launched in the issue and fulfilled in the " " story arc , released later in the year — but they were ultimately dropped from the storyline due to a surplus of characters already on Skywalker ' s strike team . Corso made her first appearance proper in 2009 when she played a large role in " Legacy " , penciled by Dave Ross . Two of artist Chris Scalf ' s rough drafts of the issue ' s cover included Corso , but the final version featured only Drok and Gar Stazi . Corso later appeared in " Legacy " , released in 2010 , and the fourth issue of " Legacy " followup miniseries , " " , released in 2011 . Both issues were penciled by Jan Duursema . In the latter issue , Corso uses a green - bladed lightsaber , but the cover of " Legacy 26 " shows her yielding a blue - bladed weapon . However , the issues are set in different years , and this article treats both colors as canon ical .
