Jance
Jance was a member of the Guardians of the Whills, a religious group that existed during the High Republic Era. In the year 382 BBY, Jance was stationed with fellow Guardians of the Whills at the Second Spire, located in the Holy City on the moon of Jedha. Their task was to safeguard the building while it hosted a peace summit between the warring planets of Eiram and E'ronoh, both of which were located in the Outer Rim. Following an explosion inside the Spire, which resulted in injuries to Eirami Ambassador Lian Cerox, Jance, along with other Guardians like Selik and Barruk, rushed to provide assistance. Upon their arrival, Selik gave instructions for Barruk and Jance to aid and protect Jedi Master Creighton Sun as he escorted Ambassador Cerox to the medical station within the Spire.
