## Biography

A Force-sensitive Zabrak, Dar Singe was trained in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order. Studying at the Coruscant Jedi Temple as an Initiate, Singe ascended to the rank of Padawan after the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo and the reemergence of the Sith. Assigned to a Jedi Master to continue training, Singe constructed a blue-bladed lightsaber to wield throughout his career.

In response to the Sith's reappearance, the Jedi High Council opened several Jedi outposts across the galaxy for supplemental group training. Assigning Padawan Singe to Kashyyyk, the High Council placed Jedi Master Mavra Zane in command of him and a number of other students to travel to the Wookiee homeworld aboard a *Consular*-class cruiser. Upon the group's arrival, the students were greeted by Grand Master Yoda the Watchman of Kashyyyk, along with Masters Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Padawans settled in at the new chapter house and quickly began classes, continuing on their path to knowledge.

During Singe's time on the planet, the armies of the Commerce Guild, combined with Trandoshan slavers, attacked the planet and the Wookiee village near the chapter house. Rallying behind Masters Yoda and Zane, the apprentices repelled the Trandoshans with few casualties. Following Master Yoda's departure, the students were attacked again. This time, Master Zane and several students were captured while the chapter house and most of the apprentices were killed. Singe, among the survivors, eventually found himself above Felucia on a Commerce Guild *Providence*-class carrier/destroyer. After the Padawans and Zane were freed from captivity, the Jedi escaped aboard the *Star Runner* and made an emergency landing on the planet below. Joining Mak Pra and the Felucian resistance movement, Singe and his companions attempted to capture Commerce Guild Presidente Shu Mai and prevent her from attacking Coruscant with trihexalon missiles. Thwarted in their initial attempts, the Jedi rushed to Coruscant and smashed the Commerce Guild's fleet, ending the crisis and saving Coruscant. Upon Singes' return to the Jedi Temple, Master Zane elevated him to the rank of Jedi Knight before the assembled members of the Temple's academy.

When the Clone Wars broke out, the Zabrak Jedi took up a role as a Jedi General in command of the clone soldiers that made up the Grand Army of the Republic. While leading clone troops in battle on a desert world, the Jedi General's LAAT/i gunship came under enemy fire. During the attack, a clone trooper was struck and fell from the gunship's open crew bay; Dar Singe made no move to rescue the wounded trooper, who was abandoned for dead after the battle and left to fend for himself in the desert expanse. Because of the General's inaction, the clone soldier developed a hatred for the Jedi he had once served which remained for years after

Dar Singe was initiated into the Jedi Order and instructed in the ways of the Force at the Coruscant Jedi Temple. Passing his Trials of Knighthood after serving as a Padawan, he obtained the rank of Jedi Knight. He was stationed at the Temple when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, indeed the mysterious Sith Lord Darth Sidious, betrayed the Jedi and ordered Operation: Knightfall be carried out in accordance with Contingency Order 66.

Within the Temple walls when the Grand Army attacked, Dar Singe valiantly defended a group of Jedi Initiates along the Temple's veranda. Guarding the children from clone troopers, the Jedi was outmatched when faced with the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader, formerly known as the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Dar Singe was struck down along with all the Initiates under his protection, dying in a small instruction room within the Temple.
