Legend

Vodo-Siosk Bosk was a Krevaaki, a part-insect, part-crustacean Jedi Master who trainde his apprentices from a base on Dantooine. Master Vodo was the teacher of the Jedi Knights Dace Diath and Shoaneb Culu, and later assumed the training of Nomi Sunrider. He was an expert at the creation of the lightsaber, and was known to be able to create a weapon in mere days. Baas was also the teacher of the Jedi Knight Exar Kun, before Kun turned to the Sith teachings and the Dark Side of The Force. Despite his proficiency with lightsabers, Baas prefered to use a simple staff which he wielded adeptly against any lightsaber. He augmented the staff's strength through the Force. He was greatly troubloed by the rise of Sith power, especially because it was his former student that was at the heart of the disturbance. He felt that he had failed, and returned to Coruscant after the capture of Ulic Qel-Droma. He hoped to sway the former Jedi back from the Dark Side, but was foiled by the appearance of Exar Kun. Kun challenged him to a duel, and Baas was brutally slain by his former student on the floor of the ancient Senate Chamber.
