Legend

this green-skinned, Twi'lek female was trained in the Jedi arts by the noted Anx Jedi Master J'Mikel. When Master J'Mikel was attacked and killed on Coruscant by Aurra sing, Xiann was badly traumatized by the incident and its violence. After Aurra Sing was captued by Aayla Secura, Master J'Mikel's lightsaber was returned to Coruscant. Aayla Secura asked to personally deliver it to Xiaan, so that she could talk to her fellow Twi'lek about reconciling her feelings. Xiaan went on to become one of the many Jedi Knights who served as Generals during the height of the Clone Wars. Later, she was part of the force that was dispatched to Saleucami, and led the initial starfighter assault on the Separatist positions on the planet. During the battle, her ship took heavy damage during a strafing run by Separatist vulture droids, and Xiaan was unable to fully control her fighter. Rather than plunge needlessly into Saleucami's atmosphere, Xiaan sacrificed herself by plunging her dying ship into the massive planetary laser that was the primary defense of the Separatists. Her death resulted in the complete destruction of the weapon, allowing the naval forces under the command of Sagoro Autem to demolish the Separatist facilities from space.
