Dordi , the other Barabels , and twenty of their younglings were extracted from the Jedi Temple . Biography . Dordi was a female Force - sensitive Barabel who trained in the ways of the light side of the Force with the New Jedi Order . During the Yuuzhan Vong War she served under Jedi Master Saba Sebatyne in her all - Jedi starfighter squadron , the Wild Knights . By 43 ABY , Dordi had completed her training and ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight . Around this time , Dordi and fellow Barabel Jedi Knight Zal began to consider starting a nest with Sebatyne ' s son , Tesar Sebatyne . In 43 . 5 ABY , a mysterious illness began to befall young Jedi Knights , causing them to believe that everyone they knew had been replaced by impostors . The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances decided to deal with the issue by encasing the affected Jedi in carbonite . The Jedi Order resented this , however , and attempted to keep as many of the ill Knights as possible hidden secretly in the New Jedi Temple on the capital planet Coruscant to be studied , rather than letting them fall into Galactic Alliance hands . To prevent Galactic Alliance Security forces from discovering and capturing these Jedi , former smuggler Han Solo and his wife , Leia Organa Solo , decided to attempt to take the Jedi offworld . Dordi , along with fellow Barabel Jedi Knights Zal and Wilyem , served as gunners in the " Millennium Falcon " under Han and his granddaughter , Amelia , in order to distract Galactic Alliance forces in orbit over Coruscant . The " Falcon " broke every procedure for departing the planet , and Bolt Squadron , a Galactic Alliance squadron of XJ5 X - wing starfighter s , along with the " Fast Death " , a " Nargi " - class pursuit frigate , began to chase down the " Falcon " . However , after maneuvering around PharmCom Orbital Processing Plant One — a pharmaceutical production facility in orbit — the " Fast Death " stayed behind , and was replaced by another pursuit frigate , the " Quick End " . Han then ordered Amelia to alert Master Sebatyne , and proceeded to tell Dordi and Zal to ready their guns and targeting computers as a bluff . Sebatyne soon arrived on the scene with a squadron of StealthX s and quickly broke up Bolt Squadron . Wilyem then fired a proton torpedo , which detonated a few kilometers off their stern . Solo pretended to corkscrew out of control toward the pursuit frigate , and revealed to the " Quick End " command that he had Amelia — disguised as his adopted daughter — on board . The frigate maneuvered out of his way , and Amelia reached out in the Force to Organa Solo , who quickly escaped offworld with the four psychotic Jedi in the " Gizer Gut " . The Galactic Alliance forces broke off their pursuit , and , their objective complete , the group made the jump into hyperspace to meet up with the Jedi at their destination . Later , in 44 ABY , Dordi started a nest with Tesar Sebatyne in the underlevels of the Jedi Temple , along with Wilyem and Zal . Amelia stumbled upon them with her friend , Jedi Knight Bazel Warv — one of the Jedi that Dordi had helped to sneak offworld , and who had since recovered from the psychosis . The Barabels at first forbade Amelia and Warv from leaving until their eggs hatched two months later , but Amelia decided to exchange secrets with them so that they would be even . She revealed to them her true identity — Allana Solo , daughter of the Jedi Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka Djo and heir to the Hapan throne . Dordi and the other Barabels accepted the trade of secrets and allowed the two to leave . Later , the Jedi deserted Coruscant in an attempt to lure the newly - risen Lost Tribe of Sith onto the world , but Dordi and the three other Barabels stayed with their nest . When the Jedi returned and began eliminating the Sith , the Sith withdrew into the Jedi Temple . Meanwhile , Allana Solo had a vision of the Barabels ' younglings being murdered , and she and her grandparents traveled to Coruscant to warn the Barabels . Dordi and the tree other Barabels killed several Sith who attacked their nest before they were met by the Solos — who were accompanied by Jedi Knight Zekk , the Hapan Taryn Zel , and a contingent of Hapan commandos . Dordi and the others were shocked that Allana had led them there , but Allana told the Barabels of her vision , and that they had originally intended to send just Warv into the Temple , but they had been ambushed by Sith and he had been killed protecting Allana . Dordi and the other Barabels quickly returned to their nest to retrieve their younglings . With the help of the Solos , Zekk , Zel , and the Hapan escort , they fought their way through the Temple . The commandos suffered numerous casualties , and a few of the younglings were also killed , although twenty survived . They called for an extraction , and were met by former Imperial Remnant Head of State Jagged Fel , who was piloting the " Parting Gift " . The " Parting Gift " dropped off Master Saba Sebatyne , former Jedi Tahiri Veila , and Void Jumper Sergeant Major Gef Olazon to assist in getting Dordi and the Barabels to safety . The extraction was successful , and the Barabels ' younglings were saved . Personality and traits . As a Barabel , Dordi shared a sense of humor with the other members of her species that other beings rarely understood . Much of what was said between Dordi and the others on the " Millennium Falcon " was taken as a joke between the Barabel Jedi Knights . Dordi kept her high spirits even when it seemed like there would be trouble . She was also very protective of her nest , and along with Sebatyne , Wilyem , and Zal , was willing to force Allana Solo and Warv to stay with them until their eggs hatched . When Allana offered an exchange of secrets and revealed that if the Barabels betrayed her , she would likely be dead within a year , Dordi agreed that the secret was big enough . Dordi was shocked and immediately defensive of her nest when Allana returned with her family , but she accepted the girl ' s vision as a serious warning . Powers and abilities . Dordi was trained in the ways of the Force as a Jedi and was also a skilled pilot , as she served as a member of Master Sebatyne ' s Wild Knights during the Yuuzhan Vong War .
