Lonna Vash Lonna Vash was a female Human Jedi Master serving the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as a member of the Jedi High Council during the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War . She was one of the Masters who banished Meetra Surik from the Order . Biography . Jedi Master . A Force - sensitive Human , Lonna Vash was trained in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order , attaining the rank of Jedi Master in the years prior to the Mandalorian Wars . Earning a seat on the Jedi High Council and stationed at the new Jedi Temple on Coruscant , Vash was present when the Council reassigned Jedi Masters Xamar , Raana Tey , Q ' Anilia , Feln and Lucien Draay following their failed stewardship of the Order ' s academy on Taris and their inability to foresee the massacre of their Padawans by the rogue apprentice , Zayne Carrick . Following the war with the Mandalorians and the Jedi Civil War , led by Darth Malak and Darth Revan , Master Vash retained her seat on the Council and presided over the trial of Master Meetra Surik and decreed the former Revanchist was part of the Order no longer . Despite outright condemning Surik for her actions during the war , she felt Surik had changed since the end of the conflict , and spoke against Master Atris ' assertion that the wound Surik carried was a sign of dark side corruption . After the trial and Surik ' s exile from the Order , Vash regretted not revealing the truth of the woman ' s banishment ; the Council feared the sway she held over people ' s hearts and her ability to form strong connections with many . Exile . Following the disbanding of the Order during the Jedi Purge commenced by a group known as the Sith Triumvirate , Vash went to ground and managed to escape Coruscant . Not long after , Master Atris called a conclave on the world of Katarr aimed at finding the threat that stalked the Jedi . Neither Vash or Atris went to the meeting , but after the devastation by the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Nihilus that swept the planet , Vash and the surviving Masters went into self - imposed exile . Like her fellow Council members Kavar and Zez - Kai Ell , she believed that Atris had died on Katarr ; she was in truth responsible for what had happened , as it was she who leaked knowledge of the conclave to draw out the Sith . On Kavar ' s suggestion , they traveled to different planets and hid their presence in the Force in hopes that the Sith would think themselves victorious and step from the shadows . They sought out places touched by war so as to be more difficult to detect , and because they thought there was a chance Surik would return to such places , if only to try and make peace with what happened there during the war . In her exile , Lonna Vash went to Korriban and took up residence in the halls of the abandoned Sith Academy there . During her exile the Sith Lord Darth Sion arrived on the planet and captured Vash , torturing her within the academy ' s dungeons in an effort to draw out Surik . Upon Surik ' s arrival on Korriban her companion , Visas Marr , sensed Sion execute Master Vash . Entering the Valley of the Dark Lords , Surik and her companions ventured into the academy and were surprised when its door slammed shut behind them . Continuing on into the building ' s depths , Surik discovered Vash ' s body lying in a pool of blood ; the droid HK - 47 ' s diagnostics confirmed that Vash had been dead for no more than an hour . The bounty hunter Mira believed that the Jedi Master was left as a " message " to Surik and her companions . Searching Vash ' s body , Surik discovered that the Jedi Master had created a user account under her name in the academy ' s security system . This account would make it possible for her to open the front door and escape in case of danger . Using this account , Surik fled from the academy after a short battle with Sion , whom she proved to be unable to kill . Behind the scenes . Lonna Vash ' s role was bigger in the original vision of the developers , Obsidian Entertainment , but like many other incomplete things it had to be cut because of the forced premature release of the game . She was planned to be found by the player on M4 - 78 , a planet populated by droids , where she came searching for Meetra Surik with her Padawan , Kaah Ohtok . The corresponding conversation Surik has with Vash was even recorded and put in the game file , but , like the incomplete planet , was never used in the actual game . However , as Vash was a Council member shown in an important cut scene , the developers placed her dead body on the also - incomplete Korriban to explain what happened to her . Master Vash ' s voiceovers from M4 - 78 suggest the female Jedi Master in actuality had completely different views from rest of the Jedi Council not only on Surik ' s exile , but also on dealing with the Sith . Her will to fight pushed her to attack the colonists on the droid planet . Despite her previous statements to Surik at the trial , when player reaches Lonna in the main Behaviour Core , the Jedi Master calls the Exile " Jedi " , and if the player chooses a dialogue option stating that she ' s no Jedi , she replies that it depends on the point of view on who can be called by the term " Jedi " and that she actually considered Surik a Jedi . Although it is never stated what kind of lightsaber Lonna Vash wielded , a lightsaber ( the color and type of lightsaber are random ) is found in the interrogation chamber . She is shown in cut content wielding a lightsaber with either a cyan or silver blade , but as cut content is not officially canon , this has not been confirmed .
