Legend

this stocky, well-muscled woman was from Chandrila, and trained on an unspecified world of heavier-than-standard gravity to build up her strength. She showed a sensitivity to the Force, and eventually joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, training under the watchful eye of Kam Solusar. She was one of a growing faction of Jedi who couldn't understand the New Republic's political aversion to dealing directly with the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Luke later discovered that Octa had been romantically involved with Mika Reglia. Octa was overcome with grief after the death of Daeshara'cor, and was one of the Jedi who turned away from Luke's philosophy to join Kyp Durron. She flew with Kyp's Dozen during the middle stages of the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, and was one of the few survivors of the Second Battle of Coruscant. The anguish over losing so many to the Yuuzhan Vong, despite the efforts of Kyp Durron and other groups, finally broke over her, and she briefly deserted the Dozen in order to help isolate one of the yammosks over Coruscant. Later, during the final stages of the battle with the Yuuzhan Vong, Octa briefly took command of the Dozen when Kyp accompanied Han and Leia Organa Solo on a mission to destroy the yammosk which had been installed on Caluula. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Octa was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. Octa was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong.
