David Ronen

* Anti-Sith Assault Team

David Ronen, a human male, is a former member of the Terran Jedi Order and a current member of the Anti-Sith Assault Team. Born in Israel, he was taken in by the Terran Jedi Order at age 5. Following his graduation to Jedi Knight, he was recognized for his skill with a lightsaber, and assigned to the Anti-Sith Assault Team.

Ronen first saw action in the Galactic Civil War, in which he took part in an attack on Mustafar. During the attack, he dueled with Darth Vader alongside Plo Koon, and escaped unscathed. Throughout the war, Ronen saw action in many battles, and was responsible for the death of one of the few surviving Inquisitors.

After the war, Ronen was assigned to join Admiral Pellaeon's expedition to find Exegol. When the Hood disappeared after her battle with the Eclipse, Ronen became one of Pellaeon's chief advisors and closest lieutenants, helping to lead the Hood and its complement through the trials on their journey.

## History

### Early Life

David Ronen was born in the city of Nazareth in Israel on May 10, 1989. When he was only 4 months old, his father, an Israeli Air Force pilot, was killed in an crash.

Ronen was raised by his mother. Shortly before his fifth birthday, his mother died of a heart disease. He was taken into foster care immediately after.

Not long after, Kit Fisto paid a visit to Israel, and encountered Ronen. Immediately sensing his Force sensitivity, he took Ronen back to the United States to train him as a Jedi.

### Terran Jedi Order

Ronen began his training as a Jedi in August of 1994. He was very strong with the Force, and was known for being very intelligent and a quick learner. He became close to Ahsoka Tano during his training, as well as Mace Windu. Windu said later that Ronen was one of his favorite students on Terra.

At the age of 12, Ronen was taken to Mars to gather kyber crystals for his lightsaber. To the surprise of many, he picked two crystals, and constructed a double bladed lightsaber, becoming the first member of the Terran Jedi Order to construct a double bladed lightsaber.

Following the construction of his lightsaber, Ronen became the Padawan of Mace Windu. He advanced quickly under Windu's teachings, and became particularly skilled in lightsaber combat. He became known for having a very careful control over his emotions, able to use his anger when he needed to without having any fear of falling to the dark side.

At the age of 16, he passed the trials and was granted the rank of Jedi Knight. He participated in peacekeeping missions and anti-terrorist operations for the next several years.

In 2011, at the age of 23, Ronen was recognized for his skill with a lightsaber by Tyler Hall, the leader of the Anti-Sith Assault Team. Hall asked Ronen to join the team to replace Shaul Peretz, who had recently left the team. Ronen agreed, and was appointed to the team in July of 2011 with the rank of Captain.

### Anti-Sith Assault Team

Ronen advanced quickly while training with the ASAT team. His training as a Jedi and Force sensitivity gave him an edge over most of his teammates. He also quickly became friends with Calvin Adams, the youngest member of the team, and one of the few members of the team who could consistently beat Ronen.
