A female Near - Human , Aleco Stusea was , by 3993 BBY , a Jedi Master and a member of the Jedi Council of the planet Dantooine ' s Jedi Enclave . In the years after the Great Sith War , the Jedi Order launched the Great Hunt , aimed to eradicate the Sith - created monstrosities that still inhabited a number of worlds across the galaxy . In 3993 BBY , three years after the end of the war , the Great Hunt was declared officially over . However , shortly afterward , Stusea and the Jedi Enclave Council were told by Jedi High Council on Coruscant that there was still one remaining mission to complete . According to the High Council ' s wishes , Stusea and the Enclave Council called three Jedi Knights — Humans Duron Qel - Droma and Shaela Nuur , and Twi ' lek Guun Han Saresh , together believed to be the very best hunters in the entire Order — and informed them that they had been chosen to cleanse the Sith homeworld of Korriban , a planet deeply steeped in the dark side , of the vicious and highly dangerous terentatek beast . Stusea was the one who directly broke the news to the three Jedi , and the Knights were sent away on their mission . After Qel - Droma , Nuur , and Saresh left , Stusea discussed the matter in the council chambers with the other Masters of the Enclave Council , including Humans Vrook Lamar and Bala Nisi , and the Selkath Qual . Despite the decree of the Jedi High Council , Lamar and Nisi disagreed with the Council ordering only the three Jedi to Korriban . Although acknowledging that sending the Jedi to Korriban was risky due to the strong dark side temptation of the world , Stusea expressed faith in the Jedi High Council ' s wisdom , believing that together the three hunters could resist the pull of the dark side . However , despite their reputations , Qel - Droma , Nuur , and Saresh would all perish battling terentateks — Qel - Droma and Nuur on Korriban , and Saresh on Kashyyyk , after a dispute that ended in the Twi ' lek leaving the group . Stusea went on to serve on the Jedi Enclave Council for many more years , finally leaving the august body after the outbreak of the Jedi Civil War in 3959 BBY . It was believed that Stusea was killed at some point in the war , which ended with the Battle of Rakata Prime in 3956 BBY . Personality and traits .
