## Biography

**Aayla Secura**, a Force sensitive Rutian Twi'lek female, is a Jedi Master who served as a Jedi General of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.

She was born on the planet Ryloth during the Republic Era on March 8, 1965 or 48 BBY. Secura came from the disreputable side of her homeworld, until she was found by Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos in 1967, who brought the Force-sensitive youngling to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Vos personally saw to Secura's training in the Jedi Order, taking her as his Padawan. Secura was close with her mentor during their time together throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.

However in 1983, Secura did have a brush with the dark side after an incident involving Master Vos and her uncle Pol Secura. After Vos accidentally killed Pol with his lightsaber, Secura sought vengeance while she was suffering a bad case of amnesia. She caught up with Vos and faced him, though in the end she came to her senses. In the aftermath she was brought back to Coruscant for recovery under temporary watch by Master Tholme, Vos's former master. After her recovery, she continued her training where she eventually was granted the rank of Jedi Knight in 1987.

With the outbreak of civil war between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems throughout the early 90s, Secura and her fellow Jedi, along with the Terran Alliance supported the Republic by becoming officers in its newly-formed military. As a general, she commanded the clone troopers of the 327th Star Corps. Throughout the conflict, Secura fought alongside her soldiers in multiple battles across the galaxy, from Geonosis to Quell, Coruscant, and Felucia.

In 1994, as the war drew to an end, the clones were instructed by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine to execute Order 66, resulting in a sudden purge of the Jedi Order at the hands of their own troopers. Secura was almost one the first casualties of the purge, when the Brazilian Jungle Warfare Brigade noticed the clones aiming their blasters at Secura, they fought back resulting in a firefight between the clones and Brazilians. During the shootout, Secura was saved by 2 Brazilian Lieutenants as they grabbed her and ran from the battlesite. The Brazilians radioed an evac shuttle, they along with Secura successfully escaped Felucia and sought refuge with the Terran Starfleet where Secura was treated for minor injuries.

After the purge, Secura along with 8 other Jedi retreated back to Earth, where they sought refuge. Secura along with Mace Windu, Luminara Unduli, Plo Koon, and others became members of the Terran Jedi High Council and began training Terran Force sensitives.

In 1995, Secura along with Master Windu and Tyler Hall were involved in protecting the Twi'lek refugees during the move into New Lessu in Arizona.

Secura continued serving as a high ranking council member of the Terran Jedi Order until her passing in February 2046, she was 80 years old.
