Daye Azur - Jamin Daye Azur - Jamin was a Human male from Druckenwell , a member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and later a Jedi Knight of the New Jedi Order . He worked for I ' att Armament , a weapons factory on his homeworld , as the Second Undersupervisor to Tinian I ' att , the company ' s heiress . The two fell in love and were engaged , and Azur - Jamin confided in her his Force - sensitivity . Early in the Galactic Civil War , Azur - Jamin helped develop a revolutionary anti - energy field for stormtrooper armor , which I ' att Armament hoped to sell in bulk to the Empire . However , Imperial Moff Eisen Kerioth double - crossed the arms manufacturers , executing Tinian ' s grandparents and claiming the technology as his own . Azur - Jamin destroyed the factory from the inside so that Tinian could escape ; grievously wounded , he turned to the Rebel Alliance for medical treatment . After having Tinian informed that he had perished in the explosion , Azur - Jamin was taken to a Rebel cell on Silver Station , but his stay in a bacta tank was cut short by an Imperial raid . His injuries — crushed legs , damaged arms , loss of clear sight , and head wounds — became permanent , and Azur - Jamin ' s cybernetic body parts were almost as numerous as his organic ones . Ultimately , after his eyesight was restored by the Sunesi on Monor II , he decided to track down his lover , and they were eventually reunited . Azur - Jamin joined Luke Skywalker ' s New Jedi Order , as did his and Tinian ' s son , Tam , becoming a revered Jedi Knight . During the Yuuzhan Vong War , Daye served as a scout , going behind enemy lines to monitor damage done by the Yuuzhan Vong . However , during a botched mission on Nal Hutta , he lost contact with the Order for over a year , and was turned to the dark side of the Force by a Dark Jedi . After kidnapping Kyle Katarn , he was apprehended by a team of commandos led by Jan Ors and Mara Jade Skywalker , who attempted to redeem him . Biography . Early life . Daye Azur - Jamin , a Human male , was born on the industrial world of Druckenwell during the time of the Galactic Empire . Azur - Jamin was Force - sensitive , and although he never received any formal training , he slowly taught himself to use the Force , particularly in times of stress . As the Empire ostracized and often imprisoned those attuned to the Force , he kept it a closely guarded secret , though despite the possibility of persecution , Azur - Jamin stayed true to his ideals and continued to explore his abilities in the Force . Although he did not speak against the Empire publicly , from an early age Daye Azur - Jamin saw the Empire as corrupt and untrustworthy . Hoping to make a life for himself , he moved to Druckenwell ' s capital city , Il Avali , but like the majority of Druckenwell ' s population , Azur - Jamin ended up working for I ' att Armament — an Imperial weapons production company owned by the I ' att family — as a worker - class assembly droid maintenance technician . He worked diligently , earning several promotions and rising through the corporate ladder until he was made Second Undersupervisor to Tinian I ' att , the company ' s heiress . Azur - Jamin perceived I ' att — who was about the same age as him — to be lonely in her management position and life with her two grandparents . The two became friends , and Azur - Jamin eventually confided in her his Force - sensitivity ; likewise , I ' att told him of her own worries and troubles . The two later fell in love , and planned to marry when I ' att inherited her family ' s company . I ' att ' s grandparents and guardians , Strephan and Augusta I ' att , approved of his relationship with Tinian , and Azur - Jamin knew them well ; however , he was occasionally at odds with Strephan , who had a great many ties to the Empire . Incident at I ' att armories . Some time during the Galactic Civil War , Azur - Jamin helped I ' att Armament develop a type of personal anti - energy field that prevented energy from penetrating a meter - wide radius ; Augusta I ' att had developed a rare degenerative syndrome that was too expensive for the family to afford at that time , but they hoped to seal an Imperial contract for the anti - energy fields , which were designed specifically for stormtrooper armor . If all went as planned , Augusta and Strephan would leave to seek treatment and retire , turning the factory and business over to Azur - Jamin and their granddaughter . They arranged a meeting with Imperial Moff Eisen Kerioth of the Doldur sector at the factory , with the intention of proving the anti - energy field ' s worth and negotiating a deal to sell them " en masse " to the Empire . Despite his qualms about the Empire ' s methods , Azur - Jamin knew that such an opportunity was too potentially valuable to his closest friends to turn down . Moff Kerioth arrived at I ' att Armament escorted by a contingent of stormtrooper escorts , which kept both Azur - Jamin and Tinian ' s Wookiee bodyguard , Wrrlevgebev , suspicious and on edge . Kerioth , a condescending Human male , watched as Azur - Jamin and Strephan I ' att demonstrated their new technology on a demonstration employee . Azur - Jamin patiently explained how the device worked and why it would be of use to the Empire to Kerioth , though the moff was unhappy that the demonstration employee flinched during the process ; he demanded that Strephan I ' att prove his confidence in the energy field ' s effectiveness by providing one of his senior employees for another demonstration . Kerioth — who had been insulting Tinian and questioning her presence throughout the meeting — requested that Strephan ' s granddaughter don the armor and anti - energy field . The owner of I ' att Armament refused immediately , but Tinian , wanting to demonstrate her bravery , agreed . Strephan and Augusta I ' att were dismayed , but Azur - Jamin understood her decision and wished the Force to be with her . Skeptical of the anti - energy field ' s abilities , Kerioth ordered three of his stormtroopers to fire their blaster rifles at Tinian ; her confidence wavered as they fired and she attempted to duck , though the anti - energy field worked to perfection , and she was left unharmed . Relieved , Azur - Jamin believed they had successfully pulled the sale they craved . Kerioth was impressed with the device ; so much so that he decided that none but himself could know how it operated . He had the exits sealed and demanded that Azur - Jamin and the I ' atts travel with him to the Doldur sector so that any rebels against the Empire would be unable to discover the anti - energy field ' s secret . As Augusta was too ill to travel , Tinian and Azur - Jamin offered to go with Kerioth and let her and Strephan find treatment , but Kerioth insisted they all leave with him . When the I ' atts steadfastly refused to comply , Kerioth had his men execute both Strephan and Augusta I ' att there and then . Shocked and angered , Azur - Jamin asked Kerioth why he had killed the two elder I ' atts . Kerioth told them that Emperor Palpatine had been funding research undertaken by Kerioth into anti - energy technology , and that he planned to showcase Azur - Jamin ' s and the I ' att ' s work as his own . Azur - Jamin prepared to attack the stormtroopers , but Tinian ' s Wookiee bodyguard was quicker than him ; he activated a blast door , trapping Kerioth and two of his stormtroopers , and separating them from the four other stormtroopers . Wrrl and Tinian fled out one of the exits , while Azur - Jamin went the opposite direction , hoping to draw the majority of the troopers away from his lover . He was pursued by numerous stormtroopers — reinforcements called for by Kerioth — and during his attempt to distract them a blaster bolt hit him in the thigh . Eventually , Azur - Jamin was able to hide in an empty service tunnel , though he knew the Imperials would find him before long . Using his comlink , he tapped into Kerioth ' s personal frequency to monitor the moff ' s forces ; he learned that Kerioth has escaped and ordered more reinforcements from Il Avali ' s spaceport , and that Wrrl had given his life to buy Tinian I ' att time to escape . Kerioth had sent repulsorlift vehicles in pursuit of her , so Azur - Jamin knew he needed to cause a distraction in very little time if he hoped to help her escape . Through Kerioth ' s comlink frequency , Azur - Jamin learned that the factory was being cleared of all personnel so that the Imperials could locate him via infrared scanning ; this meant that the young Force - sensitive needed not worry about the lives of innocents when making his distraction . He hatched a plan to use the anti - energy field to backfire into the power grid , which would destroy the factory — and would mean that the Imperials could not steal his and Strephan ' s brainchild . Azur - Jamin carried out his plans , destroying the I ' att Armament factory and its research facility and preventing his technology from falling into Imperial hands . He survived , barely , but lost an eye , incurred serious head injuries , and completely lost strength in his left arm ; additionally , his legs were badly crushed by falling debris after the explosion , and he had suffered many internal injuries . A Gotal named Toalar Yalom Yalom and a Human named Woyiq , both members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic , found him before Kerioth ' s Imperials could , and pulled him from the rubble . They evaded the Imperials and took Azur - Jamin to a safehouse , though they had no proper medical equipment and could do little to treat his wounds . With all the energy he could muster , Azur - Jamin had the two Rebels seek out I ' att and tell her that they found no survivors ; he hoped she would leave Druckenwell and make a life for herself . Toalar and Woyiq located I ' att and relayed to her the " bad news , " before returning to Azur - Jamin at the safehouse . Joining the Rebellion . Toalar and Woyiq smuggled Azur - Jamin off - world , intending to take him to a Rebel cell led by one Una Poot on Silver Station , located not far from Druckenwell and close to the Dragonflower Nebula . There were delays at Doldur Spaceport , so Azur - Jamin ' s companions had to use up the last of their medpacs several days before their arrival at Silver Station , and his condition deteriorated . They hoped that Poot would have access to a bacta tank , though secretly Toalar and Woyiq believed he might die . When they arrived , security measures were stringent , and Poot demanded an audience with Azur - Jamin before committing to grant him any medical supplies . He told her of his background working with Strephan I ' att , but she was immediately suspicious of I ' att ' s Imperial ties . When he mentioned the prototype armor , however , she presented to him a set of the armor — Tinian I ' att ' s set . Azur - Jamin ' s lover had recently signed up with Poot ' s Rebel cell , but was off - station at the time . When Azur - Jamin was able to identify various components of the armor , Poot admitted him into the Rebel Alliance , though she warned him against contacting I ' att ; she believed there were more important things than love , and fighting the Empire was one of them . Azur - Jamin agreed , and was taken to the medical ward and a bacta tank . He spent more than a day in the bacta tank , mulling over his decision not to try and find I ' att , though his stay in the tank was cut short when Toalar and Woyiq used a chair to smash it ; Silver Station was under attack by the Empire . The two Rebels told a dazed and confused Azur - Jamin that the station was severely damaged and would not hold for long , and stormtroopers were en route to the medical facility . Barely able to walk , Azur - Jamin had to be helped toward the exit by his two Rebel companions ; eventually , the stormtroopers caught up with them and began to fire . Knowing that he was slowing the others down considerably , Azur - Jamin ordered them to leave him behind , but Toalar and Woyiq refused . Stormtroopers eventually surrounded the trio at both ends of the corridors they were in , but Woyiq used a sort of slime to inhibit their approach . Eventually , the group escaped to a lower level through a hatch in the floor , though Azur - Jamin ' s injuries worsened after the descent . They made their way to a docking bay , where Una Poot was sending off the last of the ships ; she was relieved to see Azur - Jamin safe and sound , as she knew that he was integral in their struggle against the Empire . She hoped that his skills and experience designing and manufacturing armor would help her Rebel cell mold their own armor at low cost . Azur - Jamin knew that the attack on Silver Station and his abrupt end to bacta treatment would ensure that his injuries would be permanent and that he would need cybernetics — and so did everyone else . They boarded the " Sitting Duck " and left the station just as it collapsed into itself . As the pilot attempted to evade the TIE fighters in pursuit , Poot pointed out I ' att ' s ship as it escaped the station , telling Azur - Jamin that she had been partnered with a Wookiee freedom fighter named Chenlambec ; Azur - Jamin was concerned , knowing that his lover would be in considerable danger during her assignments with Chenlambec , though Poot silenced him . The " Sitting Duck " entered hyperspace and fled for the Rebel cell in the Monor system . The Sunesi . The " Sitting Duck " eventually reached safety , where Azur - Jamin ' s injuries could be properly examined . His two legs were braced , and a shattered shoulder was replaced by a false one . Due to cranial damage , Azur - Jamin ' s right eye was 85 % blind , while his left was constantly blurred ; a chip placed beneath his cheek allowed him to utilize a powerful monolens , which restored most of his vision . Despite this , however , he continued to serve with Toalar and Woyiq , and began to work on duplicating the one intact set of energy - resistant armor I ' att had supplied to Una Poot . Around this time , Poot made an alliance with the Sunesi , Monor II ' s native species , whose leader , Agapos IX , had been marked for death by the Empire for speaking out against it . Poot arranged for Toalar , Woyiq , and Azur - Jamin to smuggle weapons to the Sunesi on Monor ' s surface , despite the strong presence of Imperials in the area . On their first gun run , the trio successfully cached thousands of weapons on one of the system ' s moons without incident . However , they still had to send a small message pod to the Sunesi Rebels on the surface to inform them where they could find the weapons ; en route to Monor II ' s surface , they were intercepted by an Imperial vessel . The group ' s transponder code was out of date , and the Imperials believed they were criminal smugglers . Toalar managed to send the pod away and tried to outrun the Imperials , but they caught the ship in a tractor beam . The system ' s administrator , Fugueé , was not particularly harsh when dealing with smugglers , and Toalar tasked Azur - Jamin with using his Force abilities to persuade Fugueé they were no threat . Burdened by the pressure , Azur - Jamin wondered if the others had too much confidence in his abilities , which were untrained and often erratic . A group of Imperials boarded the Rebel ship , and Azur - Jamin learned that a new , stricter administrator , named Brago , had been installed in place of Fugueé ; evidently , the Empire wished to deal with the Sunesi through force . Knowing that for every moment the Imperials were distracted the message pod would be closer to reaching the Sunesi , Woyiq attempted to delay the Imperials , attacking them until they knocked him unconscious . Azur - Jamin feared the pod would be located and shot down before it hit the surface , but Una Poot arrived in her ship and lingered for a time , hoping to obscure their view of the pod . Azur - Jamin was taken away just as one of the Imperial gunners claimed to have destroyed something , but Azur - Jamin sensed something peculiar in the Force ; confused , he was taken to meet with Administrator Brago . Brago questioned Azur - Jamin and Toalar about their cargo and motivations , though , not having prepared for such an eventuality , they refused to reply . Correctly assuming that the Gotal was the leader of the trio , he had him scheduled for interrogation , and told his subordinates to execute all three of the Rebels after the Fete Week feast . After depositing him in the cell , Azur - Jamin ' s two escorts removed all of his external cybernetics , mocking him and claiming that he was more droid than man . Chagrined and infuriated , he lay still in the cell for hours , contemplating his life and how long he had before Brago would order him killed . Some time later , an Imperial entered his cell , accompanied by two Sunesi and a protocol droid . He revealed that he was in fact Urek , one of Una Poot ' s Rebel spies who had infiltrated the Empire during Fugueé ' s tenure , and that he had come to rescue Azur - Jamin , Woyiq , and Toalar . The droid carried the immobile Azur - Jamin as they attempted to escape the ship , pursued by several stormtroopers ; Azur - Jamin and his companions made it to safety , but one of the Sunesi , Nee , was left badly wounded by a blaster bolt . To Azur - Jamin ' s astonishment , she healed herself — ostensibly through the Force — with ease , and came out feeling refreshed and invigorated . Intrigued , Azur - Jamin vowed to learn about the healing power and have it applied to himself if possible . He felt a great healing in himself , too , realizing that his eyesight had been restored , and he greatly anticipated meeting the Sunesi leader — and chief healer — Agapos , for the entire journey to Monor II ' s surface in a stolen Imperial shuttle . Upon arriving , however , the motley group learned that a distress signal had been sent by the Sunesi on the surface ; Agapos had been ambushed and seemingly killed by unknown assassins . Agapos ' s second - in - command , a droid named Bee - Kay - Four , informed Azur - Jamin that the weapons delivered to Monor II ' s moon had yet to be recovered due to the furor surrounding Agapos ' s supposed death . As the Rebels greeted the Sunesi township they had arrived in , an unidentified ship , presumed to be that of Agapos ' s killers , made a break for the atmosphere . Although not normally a vengeful species , the Sunesi prepared to fire upon the ship , but Azur - Jamin , recognizing the vessels as I ' att and Chenlambec ' s from Una Poot ' s descriptions , pleaded with them to wait . Piecing the information together , he concluded that I ' att had faked Agapos ' s death so that the Empire would not see the Sunesi as a threat , and that the Sunesi leader was aboard the ship ; life - form readings confirmed this . The Sunesi scrambled to cancel their order to fire upon the ship , though several missiles did hit , crippling its shields . Worried that the Empire might intercept the struggling vessel and find Agapos , Azur - Jamin and his companions began to pursue , following them in hyperspace to Tekla Point . The space station was packed with sentients , and Toalar wanted to cut their losses and return to Monor II , but Azur - Jamin persisted , and he eventually located Agapos through the Sunesi leader ' s presence in the Force . I ' att and Chenlambec had already left the station . Agapos conversed with Azur - Jamin , and the young Human eventually revealed his past life and involvement with I ' att . Agapos had just spent a great deal of time with I ' att , and told Azur - Jamin that she was still greatly mourning his death , and attempting to ensure she never fell in love again . Worried , Azur - Jamin offered to join the Sunesi way and become a disciple of Agapos , though the Sunesi leader told him that it would be a long time before he could fully heal himself . Instead , he told him to seek out I ' att , and that she would accept him for who he was , despite his grievous injuries . Jedi Knight . Eventually , some time after 5 ABY , I ' att discovered that Azur - Jamin was still alive , and they were eventually reunited . The two wed , with Tinian taking Azur - Jamin ' s surname , and together they bore a son , named Tam . However , Azur - Jamin ' s injuries were never fully healed , and a large part of his body remained robotic . He became a Jedi Knight in Luke Skywalker ' s New Jedi Order , and despite his cybernetics he proved to be a talented and greatly revered Jedi . Tam followed his father ' s path and himself became a Jedi Knight , and along with I ' att they often worked together on missions for the Order . Daye was also close to Cilghal , a Mon Calamari Jedi Healer , and she thought very highly of him . In 25 ABY , the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy , which the Jedi attempted to stop . The Hutts , among others , attempted to forge a deal with the aliens , but both they and the Yuuzhan Vong double - crossed each other , and the Hutt homeworld of Nal Hutta was eventually conquered and invaded by the Yuuzhan Vong , who used Hutt Space as a safe haven from New Republic forces . Azur - Jamin was sent on a reconnaissance to Nal Hutta to monitor Yuuzhan Vong forces there and to ascertain the damage done by the invasion , with I ' att and a Wookiee Jedi named Lowbacca not far behind him in Hutt Space . The Yuuzhan Vong seemed absent in the Force , and in large numbers they damped it out so that Jedi could not sense their comrades in such areas , and as such it was a dangerous mission . Things went awry , and Azur - Jamin was a week late in reporting back to Skywalker . I ' att and Lowbacca fled to Kashyyyk , while Azur - Jamin ' s son Tam was sent to Nal Hutta to investigate . Tam was unsuccessful , and over a year on , the Jedi Order knew nothing about Azur - Jamin ' s whereabouts . Tam was greatly saddened by his father ' s disappearance , and it prompted him to investigate the relationship between the Force and droids and other technology . Tam wrote an essay , titled " " , in which he defended his father ' s ability to be a good Jedi despite his cybernetics , comparing him to Jedi martyr Empatojayos Brand . Much of Tam ' s report was in response to critics who claimed that those with a large amount of cybernetics in their bodies were somehow " less Human , " and more susceptible to the dark side of the Force . Ironically , Daye Azur - Jamin " had " been turned to the dark side some time surrounding the war , by a Force - sensitive Yuuzhan Vong female . She was a Dark Jedi , with a powerful master of her own , and she was able to twist Azur - Jamin to do her bidding after the Yuuzhan Vong War ' s close in 29 ABY . Jedi Kyle Katarn , acting upon a rumor that the Sith had returned since the Emperor ' s demise at the Battle of Endor , began investigating the region of space known as the Cloak of the Sith , where Azur - Jamin subsequently kidnapped and held him captive . New Republic Intelligence agent Jan Ors and Jedi Mara Jade Skywalker , concerned about Katarn ' s disappearance , formed a crack team made up of Alpha Blue agents and Jedi Knights to track him down . They eventually found Katarn and Azur - Jamin ; the group freed Katarn and attempted to turn Azur - Jamin back to the light . Ultimately , the cyborg Force - user informed them of the being who had turned him to the dark side , and that she likely had a master . Personality and traits . In his youth , Daye Azur - Jamin was an idealistic man , and he hated the Empire for its corruption and immoral behavior . He had faith in the Force , and maintained this faith even though he knew he would be punished severely if the Empire discovered it . He cared deeply for his lover , Tinian I ' att , and her grandparents , despite his qualms with their ties to the Empire . Azur - Jamin also had a deep care for life , and he went out of his way to ensure his actions never harmed any innocent beings . During the incident at I ' att Armament , he ensured that the factory was cleared of all civilians before triggering its detonation , even though the delay ate into I ' att ' s time to escape Kerioth ' s Imperials . Azur - Jamin was a man of great pride , and he felt that he was a lesser person after his injuries and cybernetic implants — for this reason , he believed I ' att would not want to see him again , and had her informed he ' d been killed . Throughout his life , Azur - Jamin was ostracized because of his cybernetics ; from hateful Imperials who considered him a droid , to those who doubted his ability to avoid the dark side during his time as a Jedi , many people considered him " less Human " than themselves . Behind the scenes . The character of Daye Azur - Jamin was created by Kathy Tyers . He first appeared as one of the protagonists in " Tinian on Trial " , a short story published in the " Star Wars Adventure Journal 4 " , in 1994 , and later appearing in " To Fight Another Day " and " Only Droids Serve the Maker " in subsequent " Adventure Journal " issues , in 1995 and 1996 . He was mentioned in Tyers ' s contribution to " Tales of the Bounty Hunters " — " " — in 1996 , but then went unreferenced for several years . In Tyers ' s novel , " " , released in 2000 , Daye Azur - Jamin is briefly mentioned by Luke Skywalker , who reveals that he had a son , Tam . Troy Denning became the first author aside from Tyers to reference the character , giving him a brief mention in 2001 ' s " " . " Who ' s Who in the New Jedi Order " , an article appearing in " Star Wars Insider " 57 written by Daniel Wallace in 2002 , established that I ' att and Azur - Jamin had been reunited , which was hinted at in " Balance Point " ; " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " later established that they had married . Abel G . Peña featured Daye Azur - Jamin in a number of online supplements in 2005 ; the character was mentioned in a article , " " , which stated that Daye Azur - Jamin had died from an in - universe perspective . This was written as a tie - in to an earlier roleplaying game seed from " The Dark Forces Saga " on the Wizards of the Coast website , which had mentioned Azur - Jamin going missing . In the seed , players can attempt to redeem Azur - Jamin and turn him back to the light side , or interrogate and kill him , though the canon ical outcome is unknown . In an image in " Who ' s Who in the New Jedi Order " , Azur - Jamin is depicted with his monolens , which he acquired in " Only Droids Serve the Maker " , after becoming a Jedi . However , near the end of " Only Droids Serve the Maker " , his eye is healed and he is depicted alongside Agapos without the monolens . This descrepancy has yet to be addressed in canon , though it is possible Azur - Jamin ' s eyesight deteriorated after the events of " Only Droids Serve the Maker " .
