Oppo Rancisis

"*And with your journey into the shrine beneath the Temple... Known to few. But Palpatine did.*"
―Rancisis[src]
**Oppo Rancisis** was a Force-sensitive male Thisspiasian who served as a Jedi Master on the Jedi High Council during the Clone Wars. He gave up his chance to be Blood Monarch of his homeworld, Thisspias, in order to become a Jedi Master. Rancisis died when he and several other members of the Jedi High Council confronted Darth Sidious and Darth Vader at the LiMerge Building on Coruscant.

## Biography

### Jedi Master

Rancisis, a male Thisspiasian, was born on his species' homeworld of Thisspias in 346 BEF to royal blood. Rancisis's sensitivity to the Force was discovered at an early age and he was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained, eventually being taken as the padawan to Yaddle. Rancicis, through his training, would rise to the rank of Jedi Master and be offered to become his species' Blood Monarch, but declined to do so. Rancisis later became a member of the Jedi High Council.

### Late Clone Wars

"*Moraband? Why would you travel there?*"
―Rancisis, to Yoda[src]
Rancisis served on the High Council through the Clone Wars, and was present when Jedi Grand Master Yoda returned to Coruscant after a series of journeys he took throughout the galaxy, and expressed confusion at Yoda's decision to travel to the Sith homeworld of Moraband, to which Yoda explained vaguely the details of his trials by the Priestesses of the Force.

Later, Yoda would reveal that the Dark Lord of the Sith that the Jedi had been looking for was none other than the Galactic Republic's own Supreme Chancellor, Sheev Palpatine. As such, Rancisis as well as many other of the Order's finest duelists went to the LiMerge Building to confront the newfound Sith Lord.

### Death

Rancisis, joined by such talent as Eeth Koth, Mace Windu, Agen Kolar, Ki-Adi-Mundi and others, confronted Darth Sidious as well as his new apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who had become Darth Vader. Rancisis and Kolar attempted the crescent maneuver, where Rancisis wrapped his tail around the legs of Darth Vader, but he remained upright and Kolar died almost immediately. Not long after, Rancisis was choked and impaled by Vader, killing him.

### Legacy

Rancisis' lightsaber was retrieved by Kit Fisto shortly after, who would later keep it in his quarters on Salekelahn, in memory of his friend.

## Personality and traits

Rancisis was a Thisspiasian, a reptilian sapient species with long tails, and as such his seat in the Jedi Council was accommodated to his physiology, as were his Jedi robes. Rancisis stood 1.38 meters tall, had white hair, blue eyes and yellow-colored skin.

## Powers and abilities

Rancisis was sensitive to the Force, and was also proficient in lightsaber combat, considered one of the Jedi Order's finest duelists. Rancisis wielded a lightsaber of his own make, and also knew the crescent maneuver.
