Legend

this man made his home on the planet Krant, during the era of the New Order. Echuu Shen-Jon was believed to have been a Jedi Master during the last years of the Old Republic, and had been trained by Mace Windu himself. After losing his Padawan, Stam Reath, during the Battle of Geonosis, Shen-Jon took Reath's sister Naat to be his new apprentice. He led several important missions during the Clone Wars, including infiltrating the criminal organization of Boorka the Hutt and eliminating the crimelord to cut off his connections to the Separatists. All the while, Shen-Jon and his new apprentice slipped closer to the Dark Side of the Force, and Master Windu began to worry about their actions. When Naat was captured by Sev'rance Tann on krant, Shen-Jon learned that Tan was the Dark Jedi who had killed Stam on Geonosis. Rather than bringing the Dark Jedi to justice, Shen-Jon executed her for her actions. Naat stopped him from doing any more damage, and asked her Master to return to Coruscant with her. He decided to remain on Krant to avoid punishment, and was later deemed a hero for saving Naat's life on Krant. Shen-Jon's isolation on Krant allowed him to escape the destruction of the Jedi Knights at the hands of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, durnig the early years of the New Order.. During the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, Shen-Jon's existence was discovered by Leia Organa, who had been working to free the Krantians from Imperial domination. He was forced to destroy the Vor'Na'Tu in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of Darth Vader, an event which many believe had been foretold by the Force.
