Ember Chankeli Ember Chankeli was a Human female who contracted Dass Jennir for a job on Cato Neimoidia and owned an inn on her home planet , known as Telerath . She would later accompany Jennir on his travels and become his lover . Biography . She was born and living on Telerath , in a town of Noua that mostly dealt business in the tourist trade . But the things changed when a gang of slavers moved in and made the town its headquarters , resulting in most of the businesses failing – Ember ' s included . Ember wanted to clear the town of the gang and to restore it to what it once was . To do so , she posted an ad in a cantina on Cato Neimoidia , where off - record jobs were posted . Several individuals tried to acquire the job , including a Chistori thug and a young Human male , but it was former Jedi Dass Jennir who proved to be able to perform the job . Ember left him some advance credits and the datachip with coordinates of the city and agreed to meet him there in two weeks since their first meeting . When Jennir arrived on Telerath he found out that the slavers led by a Chagrian named Mors Demanna wasn ' t the only gang in the town – the second one was a spice running gang led by a couple of T ' surr and the two gangs were constantly after each other . After learning about that , Jennir realized that his employer told him only half the truth . In fact , Chankeli hired Jennir to take care of the slavers in order to make space for the spice runners . In the middle of the night , while Jennir was attending to Dado , who lost his right hand attempting to join Demanna ' s gang , Ember slipped away to inform the spice gang leader , Ken - Kiba , of her beliefs that Jennir can be easily manipulated ; on the side , she also brought Ken - Kiba a sentient slave for him . However , while she was out , Jennir made it to Telerath ' s second moon , where he freed the slaves from Ken - Giree , Ken - Kiba ' s brother and pinned his death on the slavers . The next morning , Ember returned to her inn to inquire if Jennir had had his breakfast . When Tam said that he wasn ' t in his room the last time she checked , Ember let out her fury at Nikollane , who was more occupied with her son , before she saw Jennir walking with Mors Demanna ; she commented : " This is going better than expected " . Ember later guessed that he must have been recruited into Musori ' s gang . Nikollane voiced her opinion that Jennir shouldn ' t be running around with the people who harmed her son , which resulted in Ember striking her . She threatened to sell both her to the Hutts and dump her son into a canal if either of them interfered in her plans . Later , Jennir returned to Ember ' s inn , announcing that the gang problems would be resolved . Then suddenly , Jennir rushed off after Nikollane informed him that Dado intended to rat him out to Musori . A suspicious Ember then demanded answers from Nikollane . Ember then went to Ken - Kiba , who was in the midst of a gang war with Musori , and brought him and his gang back to her inn , where Jennir was about to urge her slaves to leave . As Ken - Kiba began to avenge himself upon Jennir , Nikollane activated the inn ' s trapdoor to enable him to escape . Enraged , Ken - Kiba had Ember and all her slaves locked up , determining that it was in fact she was manipulating " him " , not Jennir . After suffering at the hands of the spicers , Ember was rescued by Jennir after a showdown with Demanna , and she followed Jennir as he made his way to finish the battle with Ken - Kiba and his followers . The events damaged Chankeli ' s reputation , so it seemed impossible for her to continue in her old life . She asked Jennir that she would be allowed to accompany him on his travels . After this was agreed , the two broke into the direction on the planet Vondarc where Chankeli wanted to visit her family . During the flight , they were attacked by Imperials , after which they crashed on the barren wasteland of the planet Prine . In search of civilization , Chankeli confessed to her Jedi companion that she had no family at all on Vondarc , but this merely was a pretext to accompany him on his journeys . When they were both separated , Chankeli was kidnapped by a group of slave traders . While Jennir was following the caravan of slavers , he was being followed by Falco Sang , a bounty hunter hired by the family of Dezono Qua to avenge his death at Jennir ' s hand . Eventually , both Jennir and Sang caught up with the slavers , and while the Jedi attempted to rescue Ember , the bounty hunter watched for a chance to kill him . He shot the repulsor on the transport carrying Ember and a young girl named Maddie , causing Ember to fall off . She told Jennir to leave , and after he left with Maddie , the bounty hunter apprehended her and let the surviving slavers leave . Ember suggested that they work together to capture the Jedi , but Sang saw through her attempt at subterfuge and instead used her as bait to draw Jennir into a trap . Ember was tied to a pole and gagged ; if she tried to warn Jennir , she would be shot by his droid Izee . However , Jennir was more cunning than Sang had anticipated ; he sent in H2 disguised as himself to make Sang reveal his location , then using telekinesis brought him out into the open . Sang ordered Izee to shoot Ember , but H2 ' s chassis partially blocked the shot , leaving her wounded but not dead . Izee then attempted to shoot Jennir , but the Jedi deflected the shot with his lightsaber , causing it to rebound and destroy the droid . After Sang fled , Jennir attempted to heal Ember , but with uncertain results due to his emotional state and limited gifts in Force healing , and passed out . Thankfully , the pair were rescued by the crew of the " Uhumele " , who were searching for Jennir , and were given medical attention . When Jennir walked into the room , the two unexpectedly kissed , prompting the crew to give them some privacy . Jennir then broke off the kiss , reminding himself that as a Jedi he should be mindful of his emotion . However , Ember didn ' t mind . She then remembered that Maddie was left unaccounted for . Jennir went to talk with Captain Schurk - Heren to return to Prine . In the meantime , Meekerdin - maa provided Ember with new clothes that previously belonged to Crys Taanzer , albeit not in her size . Sadly , Heren refused to return to Prine , as an Imperial battlecruiser was searching the planet . After the crew adjourned , Jennir told Ember that the mount he used during the rescue was helping guide Maddie back home , but he worries that he may have destroyed her hope of ever seeing them again . The pair then embrace as Jennir lamented how dangerous the galaxy is becoming . Behind the scenes . The appearance of Ember is based on a friend of Randy Stradley named Kimber .
