Deesra Luur Jada, a Twi'lek male, achieved the rank of Jedi Knight. He underwent training under the tutelage of Jedi Master Dorak, who intended for him to inherit the role of Chronicler at the Jedi Enclave situated on Dantooine.
In 3956 BBY, when Revan arrived on Dantooine to undergo renewed Jedi training, Deesra cautioned him regarding the predatorial terentateks. He also recounted the tale of the Great Hunt that the Jedi Council had commissioned forty years prior, which had ended in failure. Despite Deesra's warnings about the significant danger posed by the terentateks, Revan demonstrated his exceptional abilities by defeating two of these formidable creatures simultaneously.
When Darth Malak assaulted the Jedi Enclave, Deesra was present on Dantooine. Surviving the assault, he returned to the enclave five years later. Following the First Jedi Purge, he continued to instruct the new generation of Jedi after the enclave's partial reconstruction by the three Lost Jedi that Meetra Surik sought out.
Tionne Solusar would later study Deesra's account of the Jedi Civil War in 40 ABY.
