Madurrin was a female Force - sensitive Anx and was trained as a Jedi at the Jedi Praxeum on the moon of Yavin 4 by Luke Skywalker , a Jedi Master and founder of the New Jedi Order . In 28 ABY , Madurrin was a Jedi Knight and served aboard the " Mon Adapyne " , an MC80B Star Cruiser , in the Yuuzhan Vong War , an invasion by an extragalactic species known as the Yuuzhan Vong . While onboard the " Mon Adapyne " , Madurrin was under the command of Jedi General Keyan Farlander and used her abilities to tap into a Force meld with other Jedi on starships and starfighters to relay information on the coordination of battle plans . In this role , she also used battle meditation to focus and synchronize the attacks of New Republic forces . From the bridge of the " Mon Adapyne " , she served in the Second Battle of Obroa - skai , an attempt to ambush a fleet carrying the Yuuzhan Vong ' s leader , Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane . The attack was a success , soundly defeating the Yuuzhan Vong , despite their use of two yammosk s , creatures that guided and coordinated the Yuuzhan Vong forces . However , Shimrra was not with the fleet , and despite their victory , their goal of killing the Yuuzhan Vong leader failed . Believing that the defeated Yuuzhan Vong forces had signaled for reinforcements , General Farlander ordered the " Mon Adapyne " to retreat from the area . Madurrin was still on board the " Mon Adapyne " when it was called to the moon of Ebaq 9 . The moon was a hyperspace dead end ideal for trapping starships , and the New Republic was gathering there to set up an ambush of Yuuzhan Vong forces . Madurrin and the " Mon Adapyne " stayed in orbit above Ebaq 9 to draw in the Yuuzhan Vong fleet , while other New Republic forces nearby waited to hyperspace jump into the system . The Yuuzhan Vong did as anticipated , drawn into the system by the " Mon Adapyne " and its complement . Madurrin coordinated the defense with battle meditation , drawing the Yuuzhan Vong further into the trap . Once the Yuuzhan Vong had spread out , the rest of the New Republic fleet arrived to hit them from behind . Having fallen into the trap , the Yuuzhan Vong were completely wiped out , earning a decisive victory for the New Republic . A year later , in 29 ABY , Madurrin was stationed aboard a capital ship defending the world of " Mon Calamari " . Desperate Yuuzhan Vong forces , hoping to strike a decisive victory against the newly formed Galactic Federation of Free Alliances at their capital on Mon Calamari , headed towards the planet . However , shortly after beginning their attack , the Yuuzhan Vong called a retreat due to the arrival of Zonama Sekot , a living planet revered by their people . Madurrin , alongside fellow Jedi , Cilghal , Kenth Hamner , Mara Jade Skywalker , and Luke Skywalker , boarded the starship , " Jade Shadow " and headed to a meeting at the planet Contruum Six , where the Alliance was organizing a plan of attack to liberate Coruscant , the former capital of the Alliance conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong . Madurrin agreed to continue to serve aboard a capital ship in the attack on Coruscant . Following the Alliance ' s victory at Coruscant , Madurrin headed to the Conclave on Zonama Sekot , where Grand Master Luke Skywalker spoke about a new direction for the Jedi Order . Following this , Madurrin decided to continue to serve with the Alliance military , under Supreme Commander Traest Kre ' fey and General Keyan Farlander . Personality and traits . Madurrin was an Anx with green skin , and her height of over four meters made her tower over most other species . As a member of the Jedi Order , Madurrin fought in the Yuuzhan Vong War , aiding her fellow Jedi in attacks against the Yuuzhan Vong . She was unable to pilot a starfighter due to her substantial height , and instead served on the bridge of capital ships . Following the war ' s conclusion , she believed that she could do the most good by continuing to serve with the Alliance military . Powers and abilities . As a Jedi , Madurrin had access to the Force and could use it to tap into a Force meld , supporting her fellow Jedi . On board the " Mon Adapyne " , Madurrin was able to use battle meditation to guide ships into coordinated attacks . She was able to pour support and comfort through the Force to calm fellow Jedi that were in battle with Yuuzhan Vong forces . Behind the scenes . The character of Madurrin was created by Walter Jon Williams for use in the 2002 novel , " " , part of " " book series . In his first draft of the novel , Walter Jon Williams had Madurrin ' s role taken by a Melodie Jedi , who he was later told died in an earlier book ( therefore , most likely Lyric ) . Someone at Lucasfilm Ltd . then suggested he use an Anx , which became Madurrin . Although no illustration of Madurrin was included in " Destiny ' s Way " , in " The Essential Chronology " published in 2000 , an unidentified Anx was included in a picture titled , " the Jedi Praxeum " next to a description of the founding of Luke Skywalker ' s Jedi academy . Walter Jon Williams believed it was possible that the previous illustration was tied into Lucasfilm suggesting an Anx for his novel , making Madurrin a student at the Jedi Praxeum . On the StarWars . com Message Boards , Leland Chee confirmed this speculation that the original picture depicted Madurrin and stated that it is assumed by him and the Holocron continuity database that they are the same individual . This connection was referenced in Madurrin ' s entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , which stated that she was " trained by Luke Skywalker " . However , speculation that the picture from " The Essential Chronology " retcon ned Madurrin as a member of the original twelve members of the inaugural class was not confirmed in her entry , and Leland Chee has only confirmed that the picture depicts Madurrin , which is not labeled as a picture of the inaugural class . Another picture of an Anx Jedi appears in " " , in an illustration depicting the Conclave on Zonama Sekot . This picture was used to represent Madurrin in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " .
