Kep-She




A Force-sensitive being, Kep-She achieved the rank of Jedi Master within the Jedi Order before the onset of the Clone Wars. In 34 BBY, during the Battle of Malastare Narrows, Kep-She spearheaded a task force of the Galactic Republic. Their mission: to dismantle the Corporate Alliance blockade orchestrated by the Harch Admiral Trench around the planet of Malastare. The confrontation culminated in the destruction of Trench's flagship, leading to the assumption of his death.

Notwithstanding, Trench reemerged to fight for the Separatist navy as the Clone Wars raged. Republic Admiral Wullf Yularen, a veteran who had fought in the Battle of Malastare Narrows, realized Trench had survived during the Battle of Christophsis in 22 BBY. Consequently, he briefed Jedi General Anakin Skywalker regarding the actions of Kep-She's task force at Malastare.

Biography

Kep-She's task force destroyed the flagship of Trench (pictured), but the admiral survived.

A Force-sensitive being, Kep-She was welcomed into the Jedi Order and rose to the esteemed position of Jedi Master prior to the Clone Wars. Back in 34 BBY, a Corporate Alliance fleet imposed a blockade on the Mid Rim planet Malastare. This prompted the Galactic Republic to engage in what became known as the Battle of Malastare Narrows. The fleet was under the command of the Harch Admiral Trench, who inflicted significant damage on the Republic's forces. Despite the heavy losses, several Republic members survived and escaped, including officer Wullf Yularen. Eventually, Kep-She led a task force which successfully defeated the fleet and broke the blockade. Trench's flagship was obliterated during the battle, and the admiral was believed to have perished with it.

The actions of Kep-She's task force during the Battle of Malastare Narrows were memorable. During the Clone Wars, Yularen recognized the crest of Admiral Trench, who was thought to be dead, while attempting to destroy the Separatist blockade over the Outer Rim planet Christophsis in 22 BBY. Yularen, having been promoted to admiral after the war began, correctly figured out that Trench, who had somehow survived Malastare, was in command of the blockade. Yularen shared his findings with Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, recounting his experience and the actions of Kep-She's task force during the battle. Yularen then assisted Skywalker in defeating Trench's blockade, although Trench once again survived his apparent demise.

Powers and abilities

Despite Trench's reputation as a skilled strategist, Kep-She was capable of leading a task force that destroyed Trench's flagship at the Battle of Malastare Narrows.

Behind the scenes

Kep-She received her first mention, though indirectly, in "Cat and Mouse," the sixteenth episode of the second season of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which was initially broadcast on March 26, 2010. The original script for the episode intended to directly mention Kep-She as the Jedi who led the Republic task force during the Battle of Malastare Narrows. However, the name was eventually removed from the episode, and Kep-She was later identified in the episode guide on StarWars.com.
