Kina Ha Kina Ha was a female Kaminoan Jedi Master trained during the era of peace known as the Republic Classic era . A wizened and distant Jedi , she allied herself with the Jedi Code , more than the Jedi Order , remaining reclusive and rarely appearing at the Jedi Temple . One of the few to survive Order 66 , Ha lived on Mandalore during the Dark Times before joining the Altisian Jedi survivors . Biography . Roaming the galaxy . Born on Kamino , Kina Ha was a Kaminoan who had been genetically altered to survive long hyperspace journeys . These deep - space missions were never carried out , and Ha was left without purpose on her highly organized homeworld . Matters grew worse as she entered adulthood : her Force - sensitivity began to manifest itself , drawing the criticism and disdain of her perfectionist peers . Viewed as an outcast and possessive of socially reprehensible traits , Ha departed her homeworld for fear of being " reeducated " . During her journeys , Ha came under the tutelage of the rogue Jedi Master Kras ' dohk who trained her as a Guardian and instructed her on how to construct her own lightsaber . The Trandoshan Jedi taught Ha all he knew , eventually bestowing upon Ha the rank of Master . Alive to witness struggles between the Mandalorians and the Jedi Order and the ensuing civil war , Ha traveled the galaxy for a century after the death of her Master . Ha had very distant relations with the Jedi High Council , only meeting with the august body half a dozen times in the centuries she was active in the galaxy . Eventually , Ha took up temporary residence on the planet Vorusku ; during her stay she was struck with a terrifying vision from the Force . In her mind she saw countless soldiers of the dark side emerging from her homeworld . Returning home in a rush , Ha found no unusual presences on the water world , and certainly no dark side army . Prepared to prevent her vision from coming true , Master Ha delved deep into the sea using a Uulshos DPx to locate the ruins of the Slici Canyon outposts on the floor of Kamino ' s ocean . Occupying the lonely , hermetically - sealed chambers of the outpost , Ha lived out her hermitage in absolute solitude , watching Human holovids , waiting to strike should a dark side army arise . Hermitage and the Great Jedi Purge . Over the decades the Kaminoans produced many clone armies , a foolish practice in Ha ' s mind ; though she was unable to discern which clone army was the one she foresaw . Indeed , when the Grand Army of the Republic was created at Tipoca City , Master Ha was unaware that the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious had a hand in their programming . When the Clone Wars erupted between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , the Jedi Order was drawn into the war , fighting against the Separatist Droid Army with the clone troopers at their sides . When the Sith concocted Order 66 was issued to the Grand Army , the Order was effectively disbanded and the Republic abolished . Ha immediately came out of hiding , fleeing Kamino and being rescued by smuggler Nyreen Vollen . Joined by Padawan Tallisibeth Enwandung - Esterhazy aboard the " Cornucopia " , Ha was taken to Mandalore by Vollen to find sanctuary at Kyrimorut , the home and fortress of Kal Skirata . Skirata had a strong hatred for Kaminoans and Jedi , but allowed Ha to remain at his compound if she permitted Doctor Ovolot Qail Uthan to take samples of her genes for testing . The ultimate goal of this test was to harness Ha ' s longevity and program the Skirata ' s refugee clone troopers ' DNA with a similar long life , as they already had been programming for accelerated aging . Ha agreed on the basis of her disagreement with her species ' activities in the past centuries . Patient and gracious around the Mandalorians so as not to put them more on edge then they already were , the regal Jedi Master kept company with Padawan Enwandung - Esterhazy and later , Master Arligan Zey . After the samples were given and her usefulness to the Mandalorian clan expired , the mercenaries decided not to kill their Jedi guests . Instead Bardan Jusik , former Jedi and an ally of Skirata , made contact with rogue Jedi Djinn Altis who agreed to take the Jedi in to his secret Jedi refuge . Personality and traits . Although Kina Ha was a Kaminoan , she lacked the general disdain for imperfection typical in her species . As the lone Force - user of her race , she was considered by the scientists of her world to be a threat . She chose to leave the planet rather than face daily hostility . By the end of the Clone Wars she had been living for over 3 , 000 years and had seen events such as the Mandalorian Wars , Jedi Civil War , the Sith going into hiding , the invention of bolo - ball , and the creations of hundreds of cloned armies and factory workers on her homeworld . The Mandalorians she resided with after the Clone Wars saw her as an ancient and regal lady that baffled them by going against all Kaminoan stereotypes . While most Kaminoans prefer water worlds with little sun , she sat outdoors with the rest of the Skirata clan at Kyrimorut ( though she wore a cap to shade her eyes when outdoors ) . Unlike most of her race , she possessed a cunning sense of humor and was known to cheat at pazaak .
