Mana Veridi


Mana Veridi was a Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order, a Human female who served during the final years of the Galactic Republic.

Biography

Discovered to be Force-sensitive close to her birth, Mana Veridi was taken in by the Jedi Order and trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in the ways of the Force. Having constructed her personal lightsaber and successfully completing the Trials of Knighthood, Veridi was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council. She accepted assignments from this esteemed governing body, and was sent to investigate a disturbance on the Mid Rim planet of Kwannot.

Mana Veridi is killed by Aurra Sing.

While she was on Kwannot, Veridi realized the situation was far more dangerous than initially thought and sent a distress call to Coruscant. After the emergency signal was received, the High Council dispatched Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to find Veridi and finish her assignment. The Jedi tracked her distress beacon and found Veridi hiding in the shadows within one of the planet's cities. Upon seeing the Jedi, Veridi was relieved and began to explain her situation. However, before she could say anything, the Jedi hunter Aurra Sing activated her lightsaber and impaled Veridi through the chest, killing her instantly. Sing then took Veridi's lightsaber and engaged the Jedi in combat. The Jedi were successful in driving her away, but were unable to capture her.

Legacy

More than thirty years after her death, the exiled Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi recounted her story to Han Solo while they were traveling to Alderaan aboard the Millennium Falcon in 0 BBY.
