Legend

this woman was a small-time criminal who worked as a thief aboard The Wheel, where she was often employed by Tookarti during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Khaleen was distinguished by her lanky, black hair, as well as the starburst tattoo that surrounding her navel. She stole a datadisk from the Falleen Zenex, who placed a bounty on her head in order to recover it. Khaleen, however, avoided capture and managed to return the disk to Tookarti and his boss, Korto Vos. The disk turned out to be detailed, Separatist plans for an attack on Kamino. Vos decided that the disk needed to be copied, and the original returned to Zenex, so that the Separatists were unaware that the Jedi Knights knew of the Kamino attack. Khaleen volunteered to return the disk to Zenex, despite the obvious fact that the crimelord would probably her for stealing it in the first place. The Falleen knew that she could not live if she had seen the disk's contents, but did not want to be responsible for her murder. Using his strong pheromones, Zenex nearly convinced Khaleen to kill herself. Vos and his fellow Jedi, Aayla Secura, had been monitoring the exchange, and arrived just in time to save Khaleen and eliminate Zenex. Khaleen remained with Korto, and began to develop deeper feelings for him. During a stopover on Nar Shaddaa, Korto was double-crossed by Tookarti. Jedi Master Agen Kolar tracked Korto to the smugglers' moon and and tried to arrest him, but Khaleen managed to get him to safety. However, Khaleen was captured by the Republic's forces and held for questioning. She was soon freed by Jedi Master Tholme, who needed her help in ensuring the success of Quinlan's mission to infiltrate the Separatists, during the height of the Clone Wars. In the wake of the siege of Saleucami, Khaleen revealed that she had been spying on Quinlan for Count Dooku. She also revealed that she was pregnant with Quinlan's child. He urged her to find a remote location to settle down, until the fighting was over and he could finally leave the Jedi Order. However, with the execution of Order 66, Khaleen never saw Quinlan again, and she simply disappeared into the far reaches of the galaxy.
