Legend

this ageless woman was among the first Jedi to come to the planet Nam Chorios. She claimed to have been sent to the planet at the behest of her Jedi Master, but it is believed that she and Beldorion went to the planet in hopes of finding some gift that would allow them to more fully use the Force. She was appalled at the living conditions she found, and remained on the planet as something of a leader to the Oldtimers. She kept order in Hweg Shul some 200 years before Callista arrived. When the Hutt Beldorion came to Nam Chorios, Taselda recognized his failures with the Force, and tried to keep him from gaining power. However, the Hutt prevailed, and in the battle her lightsaber was lost. She sustained numerous injuries in the fight, and found herself unable to create another lightsaber. When Callista arrived on the planet, Taselda used her desire to regain the Force as a fulcrum, and manipulated Callista. She hoped to used Callista to recover her lost lightsaber from Beldorion, but the young woman was overcome by the Hutt's augmented power. Later, Taselda tried to ensnare Luke Skywalker the same way, but he defeated her.
