Legend

this woman served as the leader of The People's Inquest, the grass-roots Jedi watchgroup which formed during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Padaunete was one of the first beings to take up the formal protest of the training of Ludi Billane, the infant rescued from the destruction of her home city of Domitree, on Ord Thoden. The Jedi Council refused to allowed Ludi's mother Jonava, who had also survived the earthquakes, to take baby Ludi back to Ord Thoden. Padaunete then arranged for Jonava to appear on the talkshow Essence, an event that drew even more beings to their cause. In response to the show's airing, Padaunete claimed that the Jedi Knights were nothing more than a cult, set on brainwashing young beings to carry out their nefarious plans. Despite her high ideals, when a group of holofeature producers approached Jonava and Thrynka about a movie based on their efforts, both quickly traveled to Kassido to help with casting. During this time, the Old Republic shut down The People's Inquest on a variety of semi-legal claims, and Thrynka was forced to go into hiding. Her desire to expose the truth remained intact, however, and Thrynka managed to secure a HoloNet node on an remote Outer Rim world to restart The People's Inquest during the height of the Clone Wars.
