Etain Tur - Mukan Etain Tur - Mukan was a female Human Jedi Knight and General who lived during the Clone Wars . She was the Padawan of Jedi Master Kast Fulier . They both were assigned to Qiilura some time after the First Battle of Geonosis to collect vital information about the Trade Federation and Separatist infrastructure on the planet . It was during this assignment that she would first encounter the clone commandos of Omega Squad , with whom she would later become increasingly involved . After finishing her mission on Qiilura , Etain completed her Jedi Trials under Arligan Zey and became a full Jedi Knight . She served in multiple command positions throughout the Clone Wars , and completed assignments with both Omega Squad , Delta Squad and other clone units on Coruscant , Kashyyyk and elsewhere . During one of these missions she would break the Jedi Code ' s rule of attachment by falling in love with Darman , RC - 1136 , a clone commando in Omega Squad , and becoming pregnant with his child , Venku Skirata . The two would later marry in the traditional Mandalorian way shortly before her death in 19 BBY . Etain was killed shortly after the issue of Order 66 in the aftermath of at a security checkpoint at Shinarcan Bridge , Coruscant near the Jedi Temple . Etain had recently returned from Kashyyyk and was attempting to rejoin the rest of Clan Skirata and escape off - planet . On the way to the rendezvous , Etain had to pass through a security checkpoint on Shinarcan Bridge when several Padawans were discovered in the crowd . A melee ensued as the Padawans tried to escape , and Etain instinctively jumped between a clone trooper and a panicking Jedi Padawan , receiving the downward arc of the blow meant for the clone , severing her spine and killing her nearly instantaneously , only meters from her loved ones . Biography . Early years . Taken from her parents at a young age after being discovered to be Force - sensitive , Etain Tur - Mukan was trained in the ways of the Force at the Coruscant Jedi Temple . After completing her education at the Temple ' s academy , Tur - Mukan was selected as Padawan by the Jedi Master Kast Fulier . Together , the Master - Padawan pair accepted missions from the Jedi High Council and traveled the galaxy together . Assignment to Qiilura . Before the breakout of the Clone Wars , Tur - Mukan and her Master , Kast Fulier , were entrusted with covertly monitoring and gathering intelligence of suspected Separatist activity within the Trade Federation Barq export operation on the backwater planet of Qiilura . They worked for several weeks in deep cover , gathering information on a number of Separatist facilities around the planet ' s capital , Imbraani , including Dr . Ovolot Qail Uthan ' s biological research facility and the Separatist communication facility near Teklet . Fulier , although greatly skilled , was known for his sympathetic and just nature , oftentimes drawing unwanted attention to the pair while undercover . Upon witnessing how the Neimoidians and the Mandalorian mercenary Ghez Hokan exploited and oppressed the local population , Fulier could not bring himself to resist intervening . After defending a few of the locals against one of Hokan ' s thugs , the same locals would later reveal his whereabouts to Ghez Hokan for little more than the price of a bottle of Urrqal , forcing Tur - Mukan to escape on her own with the building schematics they had recovered . Fulier was eventually captured and executed by Hokan , who then took Fulier ' s lightsaber for his own use . Tur - Mukan and Omega Squad . For the next few weeks Tur - Mukan managed to survive on her own , hiding in the countryside outside Imbraani . Still in possession of the plans , she was desperately looking for a way to either escape the hostile world or at least transmit what she and Fulier had gathered off - planet . Right after she had narrowly escaped a drunk Weequay thug , she met with a Gurlanin , a shapeshifter species , by the name of Jinart , whom at that time was under the guise of an old woman . Jinart helped Tur - Mukan by influencing a barq farmer named Birhan in order to get her shelter at his farm , at least for the time being . When Omega Squad landed on the planet , it was also Jinart who scouted out the whereabouts of the commandos and led Tur - Mukan to meet RC - 1136 . When she first felt him in the Force , she was confused to sense a child rather than a man . When she finally met Darman , she mistook him for Hokan , and attempted to kill him . After being disarmed , she realized that it was not , in fact , Hokan . From Darman , Tur - Mukan first learned of the Grand Army of the Republic , as well as the fact that Jedi had been made commanders and generals in charge of leading the army . Given her self - critical nature , feeling she had been a disappointment to the Jedi , Tur - Mukan refused to take up on that role , going so far as to order Darman to disobey her if she gave an order that made no logical sense . Nevertheless , she agreed to join Omega Squad in their mission to avert the danger rooting in Dr . Uthan ' s research of a nanovirus lethal to clones and take the scientist prisoner . With Tur - Mukan ' s plans on the Separatist facilities , Tur - Mukan and Darman tried to make contact with the other three members of Omega Squad . During her march through Qiilura ' s backlands , Tur - Mukan got to know the clones as people , and they established a friendship - like relation , especially with the clone Darman . Tur - Mukan felt sorry for the clones , whose only purpose in life was to fight and eventually die for the Republic , and tried to match their expectations as much as possible . After teaming up with the rest of Omega Squad , who had already destroyed the Separatist communications monitoring facility at Teklet , they proceeded towards the nanovirus research laboratories . Through various firefights with hostile mercenaries and Separatist Battle Droids , Tur - Mukan became more and more used to the soldier ' s ways , learning that sometimes difficult decisions have to be made . Although still feeling under pressure from the faithful expectations from the clones , she began to slip into the role of a commanding officer . Utilizing one of Hokan ' s deserted lieutenants the Omega Squad had taken prisoner , Tur - Mukan spread false information about their numbers by using a Jedi mind trick on the lieutenant , in order to force the Mandalorian to concentrate his forces at one point . However , the bluff turned against the squad : Hokan instead divided his forces between the two possibly endangered locations , attempting to perform a double bluff to get the Omega Squad to attack the villa of Lik Ankkit , in which a stockpile of explosives were being stored . With Jinart ' s help , Omega Squad managed to blow up the villa , infiltrate the research facility and take Dr . Uthan prisoner . While Tur - Mukan , Darman , and Atin made their way back to the extraction point with their prisoner , Niner and Fi were confronted by Hokan . During the rendezvous with the landing craft from the " Majestic " Tur - Mukan discovered that two members of her squad were still missing . Even though Jedi Master Arligan Zey insisted on leaving the planet immediately with the prisoner , Tur - Mukan refused to leave anyone behind . After a short argument , in which Tur - Mukan even threatened to disable the landing craft , Zey finally consented to wait for the two remaining members of Omega , feeling that her decision rooted deeply in her connection with the Force . Going after the missing two members of Omega Squad , Tur - Mukan arrived at the battle between the two clones and Hokan , seeing Niner down , screaming for his Sergeant , while Hokan stood over him , about to finish him off with a vibroblade . Before Hokan managed to kill Niner , Tur - Mukan sneaked in behind the Mandalorian and beheaded him . Despite the fact that Niner had only been screaming to draw Hokan out , where Fi could kill , the sound of his screaming scarred Tur - Mukan . After retrieving her master ' s lightsaber from Hokan ' s body , Zey offered Tur - Mukan to let her stay with him on Qiilura and assist the Gurlanin in establishing a working resistance against the remaining Separatist forces on the planet . Tur - Mukan knew that she had to adhere to the Jedi code and turn from the attachment she was about to form , but still asked Darman if he would like to stay with her . However , Darman refused , stating that he felt he must stay with his squad wherever they went . Staying with Master Zey , she said farewell to Omega Squad . Before the events on Qiilura , Tur - Mukan had not been confident in herself or her Force abilities , as her connection with the Force was weak compared to others in the Order . It was Darman that helped her build self - esteem and confidence . The 41st elite . For a time , Tur - Mukan worked with the 41st Elite Corps and Commander Gett , who commanded Improcco Company . She battled with the clones on Dinlo , and after battle would help the wounded and dying . She made a point of getting to know the clones ' names , and not their numbers , and treated them as humanely as possible . It was here she first saw the Dha Werda Verda being performed . Triple Zero . While en route back to Coruscant , the Fearless received an emergency Red Zero signal from Omega Squad . In transit , she gave the order to Delta Squad to extract the terrorists , and ordered the destruction of a Separatist ship primed to attack both squads . Recovering the two squads and terrorists , Fearless resumed course for Coruscant . Mission on Coruscant . Tur - Mukan was later recruited by Kal Skirata to participate in a black op to destroy Confederate terrorist cells on Coruscant . She worked with Omega Squad , Delta Squad , fellow Jedi Bardan Jusik , Null ARC Trooper s Ordo and Mereel , and Walon Vau , another Mandalorian recruited by Fett to train a batch of commandos . Despite the Jedi code of non - attachment , her previous time spent with Darman had caused her to develop romantic feelings for him . She expressed these feelings to Darman during the course of the mission , and Darman reciprocated . Thus the two began a romantic relationship which would result in Tur - Mukan becoming pregnant . In the final operation against the terrorists , Tur - Mukan was teamed up with Vau to eliminate the terrorist leader , Perrive . Accomplishing that , the two then worked together to eliminate a terrorist who had fled from the main battle , where it became apparent that she worked very well with Vau ' s strill , Mird . Following the operation , Tur - Mukan told Skirata about her pregnancy , also telling Skirata that her child was Force - sensitive . The two agreed that the time was not right to tell Darman , as it could distract him during battle . Skirata was adamant that the child would be raised Mandalorian , and knew it would not be safe for the child of a clone and a Jedi to become known to the Republic . So Skirata arranged to have Tur - Mukan sent to Qiilura until she came to term . After the boy ' s birth , in the event that Darman ( for whatever reason ) was unable to raise the boy , Skirata would raise the child . Tur - Mukan agreed to all Skirata ' s terms . Although she was heartbroken that she might not be able to be part of her child ' s life , she knew that the " Mando " way would be best for him . However , she hoped that she and Darman would be able to raise the child together after the Clone Wars ended . Tur - Mukan decided she would leave the Jedi Order at the end of the war to be with Darman and her baby . Evacuation of Qiilura . Tur - Mukan led the relocation of the human residents of Qiilura , fulfilling the promise the Republic made to gain the Gurlanins ' aide and allegiance . While on Qiilura , Tur - Mukan used daily Force meditation to advance her pregnancy . Though only ninety days pregnant , she succeeded in advancing the baby to six months development . She could not only tell that she was pregnant with a boy , but also that he was going to be Force sensitive . Commander Levet , along with his troops assisted her , and kept all rumors of her pregnancy at bay . When the human farmers resisted evacuation , the troops were forced to work camp by camp , removing all resistance groups one at a time . The Gurlanins ' were not pleased by this slowness and destroyed a Republic vessel ; killing over ten thousand troops , to prove their dangerousness . Tur - Mukan led a large assault in a valley ; bringing in an AT - TE to blast the foothills of the surrounding mountains . When the surviving rebels surrendered , Tur - Mukan led her troops to arrest them , setting off mines that were secretly planted between the rebels and Republic troops . Although the confrontation ended in victory on her side , she felt responsible for the troopers ' deaths . Away from action . Able to see the buried mines via the force , Tur - Mukan rescued a trooper by carrying him out of the minefield on her shoulders . Shortly after getting him to safety , she began to hemorrhage , possibly from added stress and weight of the trooper . Jinart contacted Kal Skirata and watched over her until Ordo arrived with a medical droid . The droid instructed Tur - Mukan to cease her meditation , allowing the baby to develop naturally , and to reduce her stress levels . Etain was forced to leave the field of battle with Ordo , who headed to Dorumaa to meet up with Skirata , where he had captured Ko Sai . After they met up , they headed for Skirata ' s recently obtained bastion Kyrimorut on Mandalore . While there , she learned what she could of genetics and used her pregnancy to barter with Ko Sai , offering blood and the baby ' s umbilical cord , in exchange for the anti - aging formula for the clones . Ko Sai , highly interested in studying Jedi blood , gave out bits of data as she collected the Jedi DNA . Tur - Mukan would eventually have her child , named Venku Skirata , at first , then called Kad , by Skirata in the bastion . On holding Venku , Skirata realized he was wrong in insisting that Tur - Mukan give up her son . He gave her the option of staying on Mandalore to raise the child , so long as she left the Jedi order . Tur - Mukan felt she could not leave the war to raise Venku , especially since Darman would still be fighting . Skirata delivered the umbilical cord to Ko Sai , who would eventually kill herself , thanking Tur - Mukan for the ability to find one of her long desired answers . Tur - Mukan returned to Coruscant to report to General Arligan Zey , and to introduce the baby to Omega Squad ; however , he was introduced as Skirata ' s grandson . Skirata outlined that they needed to look for the right time to tell Darman that he was the father . Tur - Mukan was exasperated when Darman appeared nervous and scared around the child , holding him only moments before returning him to Skirata ' s arms . Atin asked Corr what he would name a son , which prompted Darman to say he would name a son Kad , meaning " saber " in Mando ' a . Tur - Mukan left the baby with Skirata and spent the day with Darman , who told her he felt it was not the right time to have a baby during a war . Tur - Mukan knew at that point that she could not tell him he was the father . Battle of Haurgab . While rejoining with both Omega and Delta Squad at Haurgab , Tur - Mukan decided it would be best that she tell Darman about Kad after the battle . When she saw that Scorch was grief - stricken with anger , she did her utmost best , through words , and when given permission through Force calming techniques , to calm him down . Deciding to leave the Order . At Coruscant , Tur - Mukan told Darman that Venku was his son , and that they had named him Kad . Prior to this , Tur - Mukan met Callista Masana and discussed Jedi ethics and the idea of marriage . Tur - Mukan had also been growing more wary of the way the clones were treated by the Republic , and her own code of ethics did not mirror the Jedi Order ' s views . With guidance from the Force , she decided to leave the Order . Although Darman was angry about being the last to know he had a son , he soon reconciled with Etain and they spent several days together with their son on Coruscant . Mission to Kashyyyk . Tur - Mukan was sent with Delta Squad and Skirata ' s Wookiee companion Enacca , to liberate Enacca ' s homeworld of Kashyyyk , where she had seen the deadly Jedi - slaying cyborg , General Grievous , for the first time . Before Delta went on their objective to destroy a " Recusant " - class light destroyer , which attempted to land more battle droids , Tur - Mukan openly bet that they could be much faster than Omega , just to wish them luck . However , when Tur - Mukan heard that Sev was being left behind , due to possible apprehension by multiple Separatist forces , she regretted her boast . She was more infuriated to hear that Grand Master Yoda himself had ordered Delta ' s evacuation . Enacca , under orders from Skirata , loaded Tur - Mukan into a transport shuttle and forced her back to Coruscant . While Tur - Mukan was in transit back to Coruscant from Kashyyyk , Darman sent her a comlink message asking her to marry him according to Mandalorian tradition . Once she had emerged from hyperspace and received his message ( after Order 66 had been initiated ) , she transmitted back and they were married . Victim of the Sith . This happiness would be short - lived , as Tur - Mukan saw the Jedi Temple while switching into civilian - like clothing . She heard rumors of Master Mace Windu trying to " assassinate " Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and being blasted away to his death for doing so , but she failed to recognize that Palpatine was Darth Sidious , Dark Lord of the Sith , and that Anakin Skywalker had been manipulated into becoming his new apprentice , Darth Vader . Skirata told Tur - Mukan to stay still and he would send someone to pick her up . Tur - Mukan refused , stating the Clan Skirata members shouldn ' t expose themselves so close to their defection from the GAR . Skirata went to meet her at the Shinarcan Bridge Extension after they learned her path to their hideout and current location . However , while at the bridge , Tur - Mukan witnessed a group of Jedi Padawans attempt to break through a checkpoint held by clone troopers from the 501st Legion , who were now under Vader ' s command . Initially resisting the urge to get involved , she eventually reacted to a Jedi trying to kill one of the clones , and stepped in front of him . His lightsaber cut her from shoulder to spine . She died almost instantly , as Darman nearly broke into madness , Kal Skirata went into a fit of rage , and his son burst into tears while sensing her death . Darman resisted his urge to run to her and break into tears , instead calling a Med - evac for Niner , who had broken his back when a Jedi pushed him off the bridge while leaping away from combat . This caused Darman to miss the evacuation with the rest of Clan Skirata , and to miss Tur - Mukan ' s funeral . Funeral . Tur - Mukan was later cremated in Jedi fashion back on Kyrimorut , the home on Mandalore she was headed to before she died . Shortly before the ceremony , Kal Skirata posthumously adopted her as his daughter , saying daughter - in - law was not good enough . Her lightsabers were saved for Kad and her ashes saved for Darman . In Tur - Mukan ' s stead , Bardan Jusik trained Kad how to use his Force powers . On Mandalore , Kal Skirata set up a memorial listing all the fallen clone troopers of the Clone Wars . Tur - Mukan was the only nonclone he permitted to be honored in the memorial ( with the exception of Bardan Jusik , in the event of his death ) . Jusik let Clan Skirata know after the funeral that Jedi believe that spirits of Jedi can sometimes appear and accompany loved ones even after death . Legacy . After Tur - Mukan ' s death , the members of Clan Skirata would talk about her often , to keep her memory alive . The Strill Lord Mirdalan became excited at seeing Tallisibeth Enwandung - Esterhazy when she arrived on Mandalore , mistaking her for Tur - Mukan finally coming home . As of 41 ABY , her son wielded both her lightsaber and Kast Fulier ' s . Appearance . Etain Tur - Mukan was a short , thin , freckled woman with long , brown hair with streaks of red and blond . During her time as a Padawan she usually wore the traditional braid , although she deviated from the tradition during some of her time on Qiilura to avoid recognition . Personality and traits . Tur - Mukan was a caring , but very insecure person . Even after getting used to her role as commander of Omega Squad , she was often shocked or disgusted by the actions of the troopers . She also felt disdain toward the thought of a clone ' s predestined life . Spending her whole life inside the Jedi Order , she did not expect many things in the outside world and was routinely surprised by how non - Jedi acted . Tur - Mukan was a doubtful person ; of her own abilities , her worth and usefulness as a Jedi and commander . Her fear of disappointing those who relied on her made her draw back from responsibility , which sometimes , especially under stress , made her desperate and angry . This inability to control her feelings as compared with the standards of the Jedi made her anxious and paradoxically uncomfortable . However , as she grew older and more experienced , particularly with Omega Squad , Tur - Mukan started to relinquish these problems . She would compare her situation in the Jedi Order to the clone pre - determined path , and start to see conflict between what she wanted and the Jedi order . Ironically , it was her own sympathy for the clones that led to her death . Acting purely on instinct without giving the situation much rational thought , Tur - Mukan sought to defend a 501st Legion clone trooper from being killed by a Jedi , thus effectively dying for those who had been ordered to kill all of her fellow Jedi without remorse or hesitation . Powers and abilities . Etain Tur - Mukan was not considered a very strong Jedi by the order as a whole , however Tur - Mukan displayed surprising physical resilience throughout her ordeal on Qiilura , keeping pace with Darman and Omega Squad despite her emaciated appearance . Her greatest weakness was her self - doubt . Through some of her actions she showed an amazing potential to control the Force , but her insecurity restricted her in many ways , especially when she tried to employ her various Force powers under stress . Tur - Mukan employed a Jedi mind trick to keep multiple weak hostiles from discovering her and her squad , and to influence a Weequay lieutenant of Hokan ' s militia actively . She used her telekinetic abilities in addition to her physical strength when carrying equipment and to protect herself and Darman from deadly shrapnel from an explosion . Her most impressive display of telekinesis was the re - shaping of a gdan warren tunnel to allow Darman and Atin egress . Tur - Mukan was also able to use the Force to calm and comfort a disturbed mind . She used this ability at least once on Atin , who still suffered from the loss of his former squad brothers , and on the other clones as well to calm and encourage them . This could even be an indication that she had sufficient potential to achieve the ability of battle meditation , or at least a lesser form of that ability . Behind the scenes . Etain Tur - Mukan was created for " " , and later appeared in its sequels .
