Born 39 BBY, **Jaster Hal** grew up in the care of the Jedi. The Theelin-Human hybrid was eventually taken as a Padawan by **Jedi Knight Kydra** at the age of 14, and trained under his master for three short years until the fateful _Battle of Falleen_ in 22 BBY when a Confederate fleet under the command of General Grievous attacked the planet, killing all Jedi Knights present. Jaster escaped the monster known as Grievous, however, he was captured by pirates in the aftermath of the battle after the loss of his master.

Weeks later, Jaster finds himself rescued by none other than his childhood friend, **Nejaa Mahnaz**, now a newly knighted Jedi. As Jaster struggles with the loss of his master, the Clone Wars rage on.
