Legend

a member of the Togruta race, Shaak Ti was a noted Jedi Master who was active during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was best-known for her independent spirit, which ran contrary to her Togruta upbringing. After attaining the rank of Jedi Master, Shaak Ti trained two Padawan learners on her homeworld of Shili, but both were killed by criminals shortly after the completion of the training. This led to many beings within the Jedi Order wondering whether she was acting as an instrument of the Force. Shaak Ti chose to work alone, despite the wishes and assistance of her fellow Masters. Shaak Ti was one of the many Jedi Masters who were dispatched to Geonosis, along with Mace Windu, in an effort to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Separatists. Shortly afterward, Master Ti was assigned to the team that was dispatched to liberate the planet Brentaal from Separatist control. The mission forced Master Ti to confront the criminal known as Lyshaa, who had killed one of her former students, Fe Sun. Master Ti refused to be goaded by Lyshaa, and allowed the Zeltron to help her infiltrate Shogar Tok's chambers. Shaak Ti wasn't prepared for treachery from Lyshaa, however, and was shot by the Zeltron before she could arrest Shogar Tok. As Lyshaa tried to gain Tok's favor, neither party was aware that Master Ti was still alive. She slowed her metabolism down while focusing the Force to heal her injury. As the rest of the team completed their missions to disable the fortress' defenses, Master Ti revived herself and confronted Shogar Tok. In a brief struggle, she was forced to kill him with her lightsaber. Lyshaa tried to escape, but was killed in a lightstorm chamber protecting Tok's office. With Brentaal freed from Separatist control, Master Ti was rescued and placed in a bacta tank to heal. Her recovery came just before the end of the Clone Wars, and she was assigned to the detail that kept a watchful eye on Chancellor Palpatine. When General Grievous launched his final attack on Coruscant, Shaak Ti and her team rushed to the Chancellor's side. His stubborn nature frustrated the Jedi, and it was Shaak Ti herself who had to tackle Palpatine to the ground in order to protect him from fire. Unfortunately, Shaak Ti and her companions - Jedi Master Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama - were both killed in combat by Grievous. Palpatine was captured, and Shaak Ti was spared, but only so that she could report on her failure - and Grievous' strength - to the Jedi Council. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Ti remained on Coruscant. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent Anakin Skywalker to eliminate any resistance in the Jedi Temple. The young traitor found Master Ti first, alone in her rooms, and killed her before she could defend herself.
