Kira I
this was the first planet in the Kira System, discovered by an exploratory expedition during the height of the Old Republic. Republic ships returned to the system years later, only to find that the inner three planets, including Kira I, had been destroyed. No explanation was ever given, and the system was forgotten until the Haik Expedition used it to anchor the Kira Run. (TSK)

Kira II
this was the only habitable planet in the Kira System, discovered by an exploratory expedition during the height of the Old Republic. The planet was known as Kira Prime until Republic ships returned to the system years later. They found that the inner three planets, including Kira II, had been destroyed. The asteroid field which orbited Kira inside Kira IV was later renamed Kira Prime. No explanation was ever given, and the system was forgotten until the Haik Expedition used it to anchor the Kira Run. (TSK)

Kira III
this was the third planet in the Kira System, discovered by an exploratory expedition during the height of the Old Republic. Republic ships returned to the system years later, only to find that the inner three planets, including Kira III, had been destroyed. No explanation was ever given, and the system was forgotten until the Haik Expedition used it to anchor the Kira Run. (TSK)

Kira IV
the fourth planet in the Kira System, this is the only world to survive the unusual destruction which ripped through the system several millenia before the Galactic Civil War. The inner three planets were destroyed in an event which has never been explained. (TSK)

Kira Prime
this was originally the name of the second planet in the Kira System, until the inner three planets were mysteriously destroyed. Since then, the asteroid field created from the rubble has been known as Kira Prime. (TSK)

Kira Run
this hyperspace trade route connects the Lazerian and Ropagi Systems via the Kira System. It also links the Enarc Run with the Harrin Trade Corridor. It was discovered by the Haik expedition some 48 years before the onset of the Clone Wars. It was a somewhat uncertain route, due to its remoteness, but it has been maintained by various small shipping companies. (TSK, HNN5)

Kir'ala
this tree, distinguished by its long, weeping branches, was a symbol of strength and power among the Tarasin. Often, ritualized images of the kir'ala tree were tattooed on an individual's body. When created using color-changing inks, the tattoo of the kir'ala tree indicated a being of true honor. (LFCW)

Kiran Tatch
this Tunroth Hunter was a member of the Granse Confederacy. As one of the few Tunroth to survive the Reslian Plague, he eventually achieved the rank of shturlan. Before joining the Granse Confederacy, Kiran Tatch worked as a skip-chaser, and was believed to have been on Jabba the Hutt's list of beings who had a chance to track down Han Solo and Chewbacca. However, Tatch preferred to take larger bounties closer to the Core Worlds, and worked for several prominent Hutt crimelords during the early years of the New Order. He was often teamed with Arcuse while in the employ of Glorga the Hutt, but Tatch grew tired and disdainful of the Hutts. In a daring display of bravado, Tatch spit on Glorga and then left the Hutt's employ, eventually signing on with Callandri just before the Battle of Hoth. (GG12, AIR)

Kirasha
this young woman, a native of the Cularin System, was brought up in Hedrett as an orphan, shuttled from foster home to foster home, until she finally snapped and killed the last family to take her in. She wandered for several years before learning of The Wyrd. Although her connection to the Force was minimal, Kirasha nevertheless felt at home among the members of The Wyrd. Her street-wise skills as a tracked were of value to The Wyrd, who sent her out on a number of hunting missions. To prove her devotion to The Wyrd, Kirasha was charged with tracking down and killing Dariana, in an effort to hasten the demise of the Tarasin. She tracked them to a ceremonial ring of stone, but found no evidence of Dariana's presence. Rather than become frustrated, Kirasha entered a deep trance and began to tap into the Force. She was only vaguely aware of the appearance of a Jedi Knight, but did nothing to stop his advance. He drew his lightsaber and held it to her neck, but, for some reason, could not bring himself to kill her. In her trance, Kirasha saw a group of beings huddled beneath the Spirit Tree, beckoning her to join them. It was in this powerful vision that Kirasha realized that her true path did not lie with The Wyrd. She begged the Jedi to kill her, but still he refused. He had seen her reaction to the vision, however, and offered to take her to the Spirit Tree and the others. Kirasha believed that the beings under the Tree would welcome her as a family, and stripped off all vestiges of The Wyrd before taking the Jedi's hand and allowing herself to be taken to a new life. (LFCW)

Kirlocca
this Wookiee was a member of the Jedi Knights, during the Old Republic, and was trained at the Jedi center on the planet Almas. Kirlocca was as ferocious as any Wookiee when he first arrived on Almas, and was admitted by Nerra Ziveri when he showed incredible control over the Force. During his training, Kirlocca distinguished himself as a master in the techniques of lightsaber fighting, and remained on Almas after being named a Jedi Knight to teach lightsaber techniques to other students. Over time, Kirlocca stopped using Wookiee war cries in combat, instead fighting in an eerie silence that tended to disarm his opponents. Kirlocca also achieved the level of Jedi Master, and taught lightsaber combat at the Almas Academy for many years before his death. (LFC, LFCW)

Kirmay
this family owned a farm and homestead on the planet Qiilura during the last years of the Old Republic, until Ghez Hokan arrived and took control of the planet.

Kiro
this young Chuhkyvi Iskalonian male overheard Kendle sending a message to Imperial Admiral Tower, alerting the Imperials to the presence of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa on Iskalon, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He then helped Luke and Leia survive the destruction of Pavillion and a swarm of chiaki before they were confronted by a mob of Iskalonians led by Kendle herself. In the midst of the struggle, a stormtrooper shot Kiro, but his breathing helmet absorbed much of the blaster. Kiro survived, and agreed to help Mone rebuild the Iskalonian society. Several months later, following the Battle of Endor, Kiro and the Iskalonians were visited by Rik Duel and his band of scavengers. The Iskalonians began plotting ways to rid themselves of the air-breathers, until Luke Skywalker returned to Iskalon on a diplomatic mission. Mone demanded that Luke and the scavengers leave, but Kiro decided that he had had enough of Iskalon. Donning an ancient rebreather suit, he joined Luke on his diplomatic mission across the galaxy. It was Kiro's bravery on Shawken which helped deactivate an ancient device meant to destroy every planet in the galaxy, but it also left him badly injured. He was rushed to Endor as soon as the mission on Shawken was over, so that he could receive medical care. Kiro also showed some sensitivity to the Force on Shawken, an occurrence that left Luke bewildered. Kiro wanted to be trained, but Luke was unsure how to proceed. Thus, Kiro simply traveled with Luke for many months, learing what he could from the Jedi Knight. Kiro eventually fell in love with the Zeltron Dani, and nearly lost heron Kinooine. His own bravery led to her rescue, but they were intercepted by Den Siva. Kiro and the Nagai warrior fought on a cliff overlooking a river, until Kiro tried to foce the issue by dropping them both into the water. Unfortunately, Kiro died in combat with Den Siva and was not seen for many months, until he suddenly reappeared on Iskalon. Kiro explained to Luke and Lando that he had realized that his true calling was back on Iskalon. Rather than disappoint Dani, Kiro simply slipped back to his homeworld to help his people fight back against the Nagai. He was regarded by the Iskalonians as a hero, a belief that was only multiplied when he, Luke, and Lando drove the Nagai off. (MC75, NEGC, MC76, MC82, MC87, MC90, MC97, MC102, GMR1)

Kiro
this was a common name among Iskalonian males. (GMR1)

Kirrek
this was one of the seven primary planets in the ancient Koros System, which was later known as the Empress Teta system. When Empress Teta attempted to join the seven worlds of the Koros System into a single alliance united by commerce and aid, Kirrek was the world which resisted the hardest. Pirates and rebels on the planet ignored or attacked any contingent sent to discuss the alliance, and a civil war broke out that marked the final battles of the First Unification Wars. Teta petitioned the Old Republic to send help in quelling the battle, and the Jedi Knight Odan-Urr was dispatched to assist Memit Nadill in mediating the battle. Odan-Urr brought with him the concept of Jedi battle meditation, and together they were able to convince the rebels on Kirrek to surrender their arms long enough to negotiate a peace treaty. A thousand years later, Kirrek's three main cities were destroyed just before the Great Sith War, when they refused to submit to Satal Keto and Aleema. (DLS)

Kirst and Wister had come to love on another, and his lost hurt her deeply. (T12)

Kirtania
this fourth planet in the Yyrtan System was a green-blue world of jungles and deserts broken by mountains. It was the homeworld of the Araquia race of arachnids.

The average day on Kirtania lasted 23 standard hours, while its year encompassed 369 local days. (SWJ1, AE)

Kirtarkin
this planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, along the Corellian Trade Spine near Mexeluine. For many decades, it was the primary customs world for the Greater Javin. However, much of the planet's surface had been polluted by overbuilding and excessive manufacturing.

A red-and-black plumed male, Kisquar was once a hijacker and smuggler himself, and his reputation eventually led to his employment with Sprax. Kisquar's reputation among smugglers allowed Sprax to hire some of the best pirates and spacers in the galaxy, since they all knew that Kisquar was not a flunky but "one of them." (SSR)

Kista
this was the Cestian name for cheese-like substance that was exuded by the mammary organs of a chitlik. It was often used to make a tasty stew, but contained a number of chemicals that helped Cestians and offworlders cope with the mild toxins and microorganisms that were found on the planet's soil. (TCD)

this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "nimble" or "swift", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Kit
this Tin-Tin Dwarf was originally obtained as a pet by Shug Ninx, until he discovered that it was a Tin-Tin Dwarf. After learning of Kit's intelligence, Shug considered him a partner. (EGA)

Kit Fisto
a Nautolan, Kit Fisto was the Jedi Master who took over the training of Bant Eerin in the wake of Tahl's death. He was noted for his intense style of swordfighting, practicing Form I style and adapting it to modern combat. Years later, Master Fisto was paired with Belsed-Qan Idan to put together a task force to stop the Iridium Pirates that were ambushing Old Republic supply convoys, shortly before the onsetof the Clone Wars. While the Jedi were successful, they lost three members of their Order and were unable to save their command ship, the Monitor III. Kit Fisto was one of the Jedi Masters who accompanied Mace Windu to Geonosis, as part of the task force sent to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and determine the level of threat of the Conferedation of Independent Systems. His combat prowess was evident, as Master Fisto was one of the few survivors of the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. He went on to serve in many battles, mainly the liberation of Calamari, Devaron, and Ord Cestus. It was on Ord Cestus that he was able to infiltrate the ranks of the Desert Wind terrorist group, winning their confidence by helping them regroup and retrain for more concentrated attacks on the holdings of the Five Families. The mission was simple: discover the truth behind the production of the JK-series of security droids, and whether or not the Five Families were allied with the Separatists. Working with the ARC troopers known as Nate, Forry, Sirty, Seefor, and Xutoo, Master Fisto was able to train the ragtag terrorists into a band of able-bodied commandos who could infiltrate corporate locations and sabotage the efforts of the Five Families. Then, posing as the noted criminal Nemonus, Master Fisto nearly succeeded in manipulating the Five Families into siding with the Republic. Only the savage trickery of Asajj Ventress prevented the ruse for working, but it left Master Fisto and Obi-Wan stranded on Ord Cestus without making any progress. It was then that Ventress revealed that the entire plot to purchase JK-series droids was a carefully orchestrated sham, in which Count Dooku hoped to lure the Republic and the Jedi Order into overreacting. Once the Republic had destroyed the otherwise peaceful Cestians, the Separatist leader believed that the galaxy would flock to his side. The two Jedi, along with the ARC troopers, refused to let this happen, and Master Fisto very nearly gave his life to ensure that it didn't. His heroic efforts also came close to capturing Asajj Ventress, but the Dark Jedi managed to escape at the last moment. As the Clone Wars ground on, Master Fisto was appointed a position on the Jedi Council. As the Clone Wars began to wind down after the First Battle of Coruscant, Kit Fisto was among the group of Jedi Masters who accompanied Mace Windu to arrest Chancellor Palpatine, after it was learned that he had finally been revealed as Darth Sidious. However, the Jedi were unprepared for Palpatine's powers, and Kit Fisto was quickly killed during the fighting, leaving Mace Windu to face Palpatine alone. (OWS, JAF, HNN4, TCG1, SWI62, SWI72, E3, TCD, IS3)

Kitak Hu
this aging Paigun owned and operated Hu's Emporium, located in the city of Efavan on the planet Vorzyd 5, during the early years of the New Order.

Much of his technology was still in a testing phase when it was sold, allowing Hu to gauge its usefulness on unsuspecting customers. (GORW)

Kitalic Nirasik
this immense Svivreni male was the chief executive of Southern Bandomeer Consolidated during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A native of Svivren's Nalvar region and a graduate of the Svivren Xenomineralogy Institute, Nirasik was trained as a miner and held positions across much of the mining industry before taking a role with Southern Bandomeer Consolidated. Nirasik was instrumental in developing the appearance of the Sub-70 Ice Mines as virtual death-traps, which helped cover up his more philanthropic endeavors of freeing the indentured workers of other Bandomeer-based mining operations. Even after helping many Wookiees and Whiphids escape Bandomeer, Nirasik managed to turn a tidy profit from the mining operations of Southern Bandomeer Consolidated. (GORW)

Kite Creature

Kite Plant
native to Yavin 4, these unusual plants are often seen floating airborne above the treetop canopy. They are brightly colored, which makes them an easy target for avain herbivores. When kite plants are attacked, or when they bump into the tall Massassi trees, they release a storm of jewel-like spores which land in the canopy and eventually grow into new plants. (CCR)

Kitehawk
a purple-winged bird of prey native to Yavin 4. (BTS)

Kith Kark
this ancient Gotal spent much of his young life tending the family farm, but never really found his calling. On a vacation trip to Truuine, Kith encountered a Jedi Knight for the first time. Kith realized that he was without a vocation, and decided to become a Jedi. Both he and the Jedi realized that Kith could touch the Force, and the Jedi allowed him to travel to the training compound of Master Mroon Jassa. The Master ignored Kith Kark's presence, sensing correctly that the Force had not called to the Gotal. Kith didn't understand the rejection, and returned to Antar 4 to learn all he could about the Jedi. He traveled back to Truuine several months later, and was again rejected. After more study, Kith finally understood that the Force wasn't something you just obtained, but rather an innate energy that calls you to it. After meditating on this, he traveled back to Truuine. There, Master Jassa realized that Kith finally had been called by the Force, and accepted Kith as a student. After Kith attained the rank of Jedi Knight, he went on to be trained by Master Vodo Siosk-Baas just prior to the Great Sith War. He was killed on Onderon, as part of the joint Jedi Knight-Old Republic force trying to eliminate the Naddists, when the Dark Side energies of their opponents drain the Light Side energy from their attack. (FNU, TOJC)

Kithe, Joram
this man was a civilian accountant with the Old Republic, during the onset of the Clone Wars. His parents died in an airspeeder accident, and he was shuffled from relative to relative for many years. Much of his upbringing was handled by his aunt, Tagdel, who made sure he had the best education possible. She also tried to motivate Jorma by getting him an accounting job with the Old Republic's Department of Cost Accouting. In this position, he was part of the team which was dispatched to various battle scenes, in an effort to justify the expense of creating the Army of the Republic, and to decide whether or not to continue to invest in the creation of clone troopers. He and his assigned platoon were sent to Pengalan IV, where they were cut off from their main unit and stranded after the Separatists sprang their trap. Joram was reluctant to take charge of the survivors, despite the fact that his position within the Republic made him a nominal Lieutenant within the Intelligence branch, but he rallied the troopers enough to make a brief rescue of their comrades. Unable to distinguish individual clones, Joram gave them nicknames based on individual traits, and provided enough help to see them through their struggles. As the team was eventually rescued, Joram decided to wholeheartedly endorse the clone trooper program, even though he discovered that they had been specially developed to perform better than "average" clone troopers. His work on Pengalan IV earned him the notice of the Republic's Intelligence agency, which recruited him shortly after his rescue. His first assignment was the recovery of Edbit Teeks on Tarhassan, an assignment that matched him with a group of first-time Intelligence agents. (SWI65, SWI73)

Kithra
a female Mistryl guard working for Mara Jade. (COTF)

Kitik Keed'kak

Kitonak
a race of pudgy, white humanoids from the planet Kirdo III, these creatures have tough, leathery skin and can draw into their folds of skin and seal vulnerable body openings. This trait allows them to protect themselves from Kirdo's harsh desert environment. Their normal body temperature is 106 degrees. A second pair of lungs allowed the Kitonaks to hold their breath for up to four hours during sandstorms. Their heads are mushroom-shaped, and their eyes, nose, and ears, and mouth are hidden from view by folds of skin. The four stout fingers on each hand are extremely dexterous. Kitoanks are easy-going, patient creatures who rarley rush anything. This is a trait developed from hunting choobas on their homeworld. A Kitonak will stand motionless in the desert, pretending to be a sulfaro plant, until the chooba's congregate near them. When a chooba crawls onto the Kitonak and into their mouth, which resembles the cavities of the sulfaro, the Kitonak simply consumes the chooba. A single chooba can sustain a Kitonak for a standard month. Kitonaks do not walk in the normal sense of the word, because their feet are actually muscled pads which are studded with olfactory organs. To move, a Kitonak alternately expands and contracts the muscles in their feet, much like a snake. The feet also provide the Kitonak's sense of smell. (ROTJ, GG4, COJ, EGA)

Kiva
this planet was home to a race of beings known only as the Kivans. Borborygmus Gog and Mammon Hoole set up the first laboratory dedicated to Project Starscream on the planet, after receiving funding from Emperor Palpatine and the Imperial Science Division, where they experimented with the power of life and death. Although Hoole advised the Emperor that the project would utterly destroy all life on Kiva, it made little difference. The Kivans were wiped out when Borborygmus Gog ordered the continuation of Project Starscream, and the experiment itself was horribly wrong, killed everything on Kiva, including the Kivans. The planet itself was left a barren, rocky wasteland, and was haunted by the wraiths of the Kivans until Gog was killed by them shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (GOF6)

Kivan
this was the race of beings native to the planet Kiva. They were a peaceful people, known in the surrounding systems as artists and architects. When Project Starscream was allowed to continue its experiments with the power of life, the project nearly destroyed the planet. It killed off all the Kivans, but they survived as disembodied wraiths. They believed that Mammon Hoole had been responsible for their deaths, but were later informed that it was Borborygmus Gog who ordered the project's continuation, in spite of the consequences for the Kivans. The wraiths killed Gog, and were able to finally die in peace. (GOF6)

K'Ji'Kur
this was a Gorothite tradition, known in the Basic language as the Beholding. When one Gorothite helps another, to his own detriment, the individual who benefitted from the assistance could declare their K'Ji'Kur beholding. The K'Ji"Kur was a one-time debt, requiring that the original act of kindness be returned in kind at the first oppportunity. It could, like the life-debt of the Wookiees, involve a lifelong commitment to another individual. (GSE)

k'Jtari
this alien race was known for its ancient form of martial arts, which required intense mental and physical dedication. (WSV)

KK-5
this was a model of blaster pistol produced by Imperial Munitions during the height of the New Order. The KK-5 was developed from plans provided to the Empire by Blas-Tech, as a gesture of loyalty to the Imperial regime. Despite Blas-Tech's plans, the KK-5 was produced with inferior focusing crystals, which reduced the effectiveness of the energy bolts it fired. (TBSB, AEG)

kkata
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "child" or "scoundrel". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

K'kayeh Dragon
believed to live on the planet Almas, this legendary reptile was supposedly able to blend into the sand dunes and completely camouflage itself. Many xenobiologists held that the legend of the k'kayeh began with the first visitors to Forard, who noticed that the sand dunes between the open desert and the kaluthin plans seemed to move like snakes. Over the years, the legend of the k'kayeh dragon evolved to the point where many stories claimed that it was a pet kep tby Darth Rivan. After the Battle of Naboo, investigators discovered that the k'kayeh dragon was, indeed, a living creature. Its scales were more like armor plating that skin, protecting the creature quite well. Its mouth was filled with teeth of all sizes, many as tall as a Wookiee. The k'kayeh dragon measured more than 200 meters in length, and spent much of its time buried beneath the hot sands. It used its powerful claws to dig through the sand to locate subterranean water sources. While it will eat almost anything it can get its huge mouth around, the k'kayeh dragon subsisted mainly on forfra moss and coboko fish. Further investigation revealed that the k'kayeh dragon was very sensitive to the Force, which lent credence to the rumors of it being part of Darth Rivan's designs. How and why he created the dragon remains a mystery. What was known was that the k'kayeh dragon was immune to many Force-based attacks, and could evade life-form sensors. It could also shoot out Force Lightning from its nostrils when cornered or attacked by Jedi Knights. Many believed that the k'kayeh dragon was not actually "alive," but existed in two universes at once. (WOTC)

Kkek
this was one of the many Jawa clans that scavenged the deserts of Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (SOT)

Kkekkrrg Rro
this was the Wookiee name for the Shadow Keepers, a species of dangerous predators that lived in the fourth level of Kashyyyk's biosphere. They were known for their ability to strike quickly and then retreat into their lairs. (TT, RD, AFA)

K'Kela Mey
this was the name given to the female members of the V'Sook j'ber, on the planet Goroth Prime. Every K'Kela Mey was considered a mother of the True Faith, the M'Nes. (GSE)

K'Kerren, Kerd
this vapid man was a noted podracer during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis and the onset of the Clone Wars. In more than 700 races, he never finished lower than second in any race where he didn't experience some form of technical difficulty, and claimed to have had engine trouble that kept him out of the Boonta Eve Classic race that was won by Anakin Skywalker. Of course, careful investigation of this claim revealed that he had only won fifty races, and finished just 132 races safely. As the Clone Wars tore apart the galaxy, K'Kerren traveled to Cularin to avoid the war and yet continue to race. A veteran of many teams, including the Hutt Racing Program, K'Kerren had won races on nearly four dozen worlds before arriving on Cularin, where he was pestered for an interview by Yara Grugara. K'Kerren was distinguished from this fellow racers by his rancor-hide clothing and his full-body tattoos, most of which were green or gold in color. On the left side his bald head, an Iktotchi horn had apparently been grafted to his temple, while the right side of skull was studded with a grass-like representation of hair. K'Kerren was as self-possessed as an individual could be, and often went around calling himself the "Kerd-man". He even tried to hit on Yara during the interview, an event that was exceptionally stressful to the normally unflappable reporter. (LFCW)

Kkkellerr
this city, found on the planet Kashyyyk, is located along the Rryatt Trail. It forms one endpoint of the trail, at the opposite end from Rwookrrorro. (TT)

Kkorrwrot
this intelligent but reclusive predator was native to the planet Kashyyyk, where it inhabited the area known as the Hracca Glade. Many beings, including the native Wookiees and the off-worlders who participated in Rodian-sponsored big-game hunts, try to slay the Kkorrwrot, but it remained elusive and hidden despite its rumored size. Those few beings who survived an encounter with the Kkorrwrot described it as a large, insectile creature that moved about on long, jointed legs. Its lobed skull was protected by a mouthful of heavy tusks and sharp teeth, and its body was protected by large dorsal spines. (SWGAL)

Kkowir Forest
this dense forest, located near the city of Kachirho on the planet Kashyyyk, was inhabited by a colony of webweavers. Kkowir Forest became known as the Dead Forest for two reasons. First, it was a desolate area that had been once been lush, but was infected with some plant disease that rendered the jungle a sickly gray in color. Much of the jungle died out, and any new growth was quickly consumed by the disease. Secondly, the Kkowir Forest was home to a number of webweavers and other creatures that usually killed and ate any being who dared to travel through it. A group of Wookiees, known as the Dead Guard, protected the access points to the forest from the city of Kachiro, in an effort to ensure the safety of their people. (SWGAL)

Kkral'Nas
this Kian'thar was a noted Alliance operative. (GG12)

K'Kruhk
this Whiphid was a student of the Force, training under Master Micah Giiett in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was distraught after Lilit Twoseas gave her life to save him from a Yinchorri warrior on Yinchorr, and vowed to honor her sacrifice with his own actions. However, K'kruhk became disillusioned with the Jedi Council's growing military direction, as well as the growing corruption in the Senate. K'kruhk was believed to have died on Teyr, early in the Clone Wars, when the charge he was leading met with heavy resistance. The clone troopers under his command chose to press the attack despite the obvious losses it would incur on their force, but Master K'kruhk could not agree to such a sacrifice. He went into hiding, and it was soon discovered that he had decided to join the dissident Jedi Sora Bulq on Ruul in protest of the Jedi involvement in the war. When Asajj Ventress came to Ruul, ostensibly on the orders of Jedi Master Mace Windu to kill the dissidents, K'kruhk was the only member of the small band to support Windu's side of the story. He refused to believe that the Jedi Master had sent the assassin, and he was proven correct when Master Bulq revealed that he had turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Unfortunately, Master K'kruhk was badly injured in a lightsaber duel with Ventress shortly afterward. Only the timely intervention of Master Windu allowed K'kruhk to escape. When it was revealed that Bulq and Ventress were in league with each other, K'kruhk and Jeisel decided to rejoin Master Windu, at least in order to eliminate the threat they posed. He agreed to return to Coruscant, in the hopes of teaching his fellow Jedi about the different faces of evil they were facing in the galaxy. It was on Coruscant that Master K'kruhk was assigned to protect Senator Viento, an assignment which he ultimately failed when Quinlan Voss took the Senator's life. K'kruhk suffered many injuries in a fall, but eventually regained his health. However, as the Clone Wars ground on, K'kruhk was forced to return to the battlefield. During the mission to destroy the droid foundries on Hypori, K'kruhk was gravely wounded in the fighting by General Grievous. He managed to escape, and later served with Master Jeisel during the siege of Saleucami. Masters K'Kruhk and Jeisel were placed in charge of the ground forces that attacked the Separatist stronghold on the planet, ultimately destroying the primary shield generator that protected the cloning facilities for the Shadow Army.
