==Biography==
Lio Josse was a Jedi of the Jedi Order who operated during the High Republic Era. During the Great Hyperspace Disaster in 232 BBY, they were part of a Jedi effort to aid the agriworld Hetzal Prime and its system, participating in the galaxy-wide effort to prevent a collision between the Hetzal system's largest star and a liquid tibanna tank, as the impact would cause a system-destroying explosion.
Under the coordination of Jedi Master Avar Kriss, Josse and many other Jedi across the galaxy linked their minds together to help divert the tank from its collision course. However, as they devoted all their focus to the endeavor, each Jedi who faltered under the immense strain made the task more difficult. Though the crisis was averted, Josse died, having been unable to remain safe in their surroundings while expending effort to move the tank. Kriss sensed the Jedi's death, briefly acknowledging their loss mentally.
In 229 BBY, the Vurk Jedi Master Harli Cogra wrote a book titled Chronicles of the Jedi, which detailed the Jedi of the High Republic Era. In the third chapter of the book, Cogra mentioned the Jedi who had participated in Kriss' network to save Hetzal Prime, including the many who had perished, such as Josse.
