Legend

this young woman was a student of the Force, and was a Jedi Padawan at the same time Anakin Skywalker was being trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. She wore clothing that was similar that of her Master, Glaive, who was regarded as the only Jedi Master to ever truly teach her anything about the Jedi way. Together, they were dispatched with Obi-Wan and Anakin to the moon of Ohma-D'un to investigate the loss of a Gungan colony some ten weeks after the Battle of Geonosis. It was feared that the miners who worked the Naboo System had been armed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and had attacked the Gungans in order to secure the moon for the Separatists. Unfortunately, the four Jedi discovered a new form of combat droid had been sent to exterminate the Gungans. The droids were under the command of the bounty hunter Durge, who managed to capture Zule as a hostage. Obi-Wan's sneak attack distracted Durge enough for Zule to break free, but Asajj Ventress arrived and beheaded Master Glaive. Zule repaid Obi-Wan's bravery by distracting Durge when the bounty hunter had Obi-Wan in his sights. Durge managed to pin her to the ground, but Zule grabbed his blasters and fired into his chest at point-blank range. This allowed the two Jedi to escape and chase down Asajj Ventress. In a brief struggle Obi-Wan was able to hold his own, but Zule lost her left arm to Ventress' lightsaber. After Ventress and Durge escaped, Zule was taken back to Coruscant for treatment, and was counseled along with other Padawans who had lost their masters during the Clone Wars. She returned to the battle shortly afterward, after having a cybernetic prosthesis installed to replace her lost arm, and participated in the Battle of Jabiim with many other Padawans. However, the battle went poorly for the Republic's forces, and many Jedi Masters were killed. Zule found herself alone with several other Padawans as the only force capable of stopping Alto Stratus' advance on Republic territory. The Padawans fought bravely for three days, although many of them died in battle. Zule began to slip toward the Dark Side of the Force as the fighting wore on, and nearly fell completely to the Dark Side when an AT-AT walker exploded over her head. She was killed when the walker fell on top of her.
