The FIRST JEDI To Pass the TRIALS In the Galactic Frontier - (High Republic #1)
1,146During the time of the High Republic, one young Jedi Padawan and her Trandoshan Jedi Master travelled deep out past the outer rim, into a region known as the Galactic Frontier, where she would complete her Jedi trials. So, I’m going to breakdown how this young Padawan passed the Jedi trials in a very unexpected way, and why her master wasn’t too happy…
Grand Master Yoda, Avar Kriss, Keeve Trennis, Sskeer.
Very quickly for those of you who don’t know, the High Republic is the era right before the fall of the Republic, set 200 years before The Phantom Menace. At this point the galaxy is at peace, and the Jedi order are at their absolute peak, being more in tune with the light side of the force than they had been in thousands of years, but not blinded by it, like the Jedi who came shortly after.
So the story begins, on the colorful jungle world of Shuraden, deep in the Galactic Frontier Region of the Galaxy. This region was the way out, past even the outer rim and the expansion region, only now easily accessible because of the creation of a space station, known as “Starlight Beacon”, by the Jedi Order.
On the surface, one young Jedi Padawan is training with her master, preparing for his incoming attacks. As she is trying to focus however, she is being annoyed by a tiny creature of the Ximpi species, who is asking countless questions about the Jedi Order, her lightsaber and many other things. In the young Jedi’s mind, she has to call on the force to tell herself that all is calm and all is well. Her connection to the force is the only thing stopping her from screaming at the top of her lungs and losing control.
The annoying little creature then asks her “What are you doing? Why have you got your eyes closed”, and the Jedi finally gives in, telling the wrinkly blue creature that she needs to concentrate. In return, he asks her “why? Are you doing magic? I would like to see some magic.
This of course deeply annoys the Jedi, but she draws her blade, and focuses on her master who will soon be approaching so that they can spar. While she waits, she asks the creature what his name is. He tells her that it is Kanrii, and that her name is Keeve Trennis, Padawan of the Jedi Order.
Keeve Trennis then orders the tiny being to leave the area immediately, and he just refuses to listen, asking why in 10 different ways. The reason he needs to leave is because Keeve’s ferocious Trandoshan master ignites higs blue lightsaber, before swinging at his padawan to test her. Trennis is easily able to block her master’s attack, and the little creature is terrified at the massive monster.
