Biography

During the High Republic Era, Fleur Ridleg, a human, held the rank of Jedi Master within the Jedi Order. In 228 BBY, they found themself at the Republic outpost located on the planet of Eriadu. In that year, Ridleg was approved to attend a meeting, led by Admiral Pevel Kronara of the Republic, for members of both the Republic Defense Coalition and the Jedi Order. The purpose of the meeting was to strategize a mission aimed at rescuing prisoners held aboard the Nihil prison ship known as Korvix Vorn. While Kronara presented a hologram of the vessel, detailing its armaments consisting of laser cannons and blister bombs, Ridleg stood beside Jedi Padawan Iric Lams. Jedi Master Tani Briwill informed Ridleg of their assignment: to collaborate with the Republic Defense Coalition's starfighters in neutralizing the Korvix Vorn's shield generator, engines, and blister bombs.

After Ridleg confirmed their ability to fulfill these objectives, Jedi Master Kantam Sy voiced agreement on the necessity of disabling the bombs to ensure a successful rescue. Soon after the meeting adjourned, the Republic and Jedi commenced the mission, encountering the prison ship as it entered Republic space. Their forces faced significant Nihil resistance due to the disruptive nature of the blister bombs, prompting Ridleg to inform a Republic pilot that efforts were underway to disable the enemy's weapons. Ultimately, the group succeeded in rescuing the prisoners aboard the Korvix Vorn.

Nuptials and Eriadu invasion

Fleur Ridleg and many other guests attended Lula Talisola and Zeen Mrala's wedding.

Shortly thereafter, Ridleg was among the attendees at the wedding celebrating the union of wives Lula Talisola and Zeen Mrala. Accompanied by a group of fellow Jedi Masters, they arrived at the Arkorayal Cantina, where they witnessed a holographic message from Jedi Master Torban Buck extending well wishes to the couple before their ceremony. The gathered guests, including the Jedi Master, briefly celebrated the couple's marriage before departing the cantina to defend the planet against the invading Nihil forces. In the streets of Bri-Phrang City, Ridleg and the other Jedi Masters engaged in combat amidst the buildings lining the city's streets, with the Jedi Master using their lightsaber to deflect blaster fire.

Later, near the seas surrounding the city, Ridleg and the other defenders of Eriadu boarded rescue speeders and once again clashed with the Nihil, this time under the leadership of Jedi Knights Farzala Tarabal and Qort. Eventually, they managed to drive back several Nihil operating gunboats under the command of their leader, an enforcer known as "The Warden." After seizing control of at least one of the gunboats, the Jedi regrouped under Tarabal's command following Qort's injury, intending to continue repelling the remaining Nihil forces on Eriadu.

Lava reactor core troubles

Fleur Ridleg and their fellow Jedi helped stabilize the lava reactor core beneath Bri-Phrang City.

Subsequently, Ridleg joined other Jedi Masters within the caverns situated beneath Bri-Phrang City. These Jedi Masters endeavored to utilize the Force to stabilize the lava reactor core located beneath the city, recognizing that even a single impact from the ongoing conflict above could trigger its activation, leading to the destruction of both Bri-Phrang City and Eriadu City. Despite the combined efforts of Yaddle, Briwill, Qort, and the Aloxian Jedi youngling Zint, they were unable to successfully move the isolator aqua-tanks into the mainframe of the structure.

Realizing that additional assistance was required to complete the task, Yaddle requested reinforcements after learning that the mini-reactor within the structure, responsible for balancing its surface bifurcator, was misaligned, necessitating correction before the core could be fully stabilized. However, before further aid could arrive, Zint removed her vonduun skull helmet, a device that aided Aloxians in regulating their emotions and suppressing their strength, in the hope that it would enable her to assist in moving the isolator aqua-tanks. Yaddle promptly instructed the Jedi present to make another attempt to move the tanks, prompting Ridleg to extend their arm and employ the Force. Following the successful placement of the tanks, Qort replaced Zint's helmet as she collapsed to the ground, and Ridleg paused to assess the youngling's condition.

Personality and traits

During the Nihil conflict, Ridleg demonstrated unwavering loyalty to both the Jedi Order and the Republic as they fought together against the marauders. They were among those who underwent thorough vetting to attend the briefing for the Korvix Vorn mission and willingly engaged in combat during the mission, despite its inherent risks. Ridleg possessed brown eyes and tan skin. The Jedi Master styled their black hair, which was showing signs of graying by the time of the Korvix Vorn mission, into two buns positioned behind their head.

Powers and abilities

As a Jedi Master, Ridleg was a Force-sensitive individual who had undergone training in the wielding of the Force. They possessed the ability to pilot a Jedi Vector, a specialized starfighter designed for Jedi use due to the demanding level of concentration required for operation. They also displayed the capability to use telekinesis to move objects using the Force.

Equipment

On Eriadu, the Jedi Master wore brown Jedi attire consisting of a brown cloak, maroon tabards, a lighter undertunic with gold-colored collar trimming, tan pants, a utility belt, and gray boots. During the Korvix Vorn raid, Ridleg piloted a Jedi Vector and wore a silver headset. Later, at Talisola and Mrala's wedding, the Jedi Master donned lighter Jedi robes paired with a fitted, cream-colored cloak. She wielded a lightsaber with a blue blade.
