k'Jtari


SanaStarrosChelliLonaAphra-StarWars2015-16 Chelli Lona Aphra was on the receiving end of a move that Sana Starros learned from a k'Jtari pirate. The k'Jtari were a group of beings residing in the galaxy. A certain k'Jtari pirate imparted a hand-to-hand combat skill to Sana Starros, who is a human smuggler. In the year 0 ABY, while being transported to Sunspot Prison, Starros utilized this k'Jtari technique to subdue Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra, a rebellious archaeologist and prisoner of the Rebel Alliance, who was attempting an escape. Following this, Starros shared the origin of the move with rebel Princess Leia Organa.

Later in that same year, Aphra recorded a message for Starros, intended to be heard by the smuggler after Aphra's death. Within this recording, the archaeologist recounted various moments from her life, one of which was the time Starros employed the aforementioned technique to prevent her escape, and her subsequent mention of the K'Jtari pirate responsible for teaching it to her.
