Ai-Ari Kuldi
this Jedi Master was one of many who assumed military positions of power within the Grand Army of the Republic when the Clone Wars broke out. Master Kuldi was assigned as the Commander of the Republic's Fifth Fleet, was later placed in charge of defending the Cularin System and the Jedi academy on Almas. However, when it was announced that the Cularin System had seceded from the Republic - although it was pointed out that it had not joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems - Master Kuldi was forced to withdraw his forces and return to Republic-controlled space. In his final transmission to Cularin, Kuldi said, "I am sorry, Cularin. You are on your own. Good luck."
