Biography[]
Background[]
Aayla Secura was the apprentice to Quinlan Vos, who grew to become a father-figure to her. Eventually she realized that she had to let him go. She attained the rank of Jedi Knight sometime after the battle of Naboo.
She participated in numerous engagements during the war, including the First Battle of Geonosis, the Sky Battle of Quell and the Defense of Maridun. Secura also led the 327th Star Corps alongside Commander Bly. Shortly before the battle of Coruscant, she was promoted to the rank of Jedi Master.
During the final days of the Clone Wars, Aayla fought in the Battle of Felucia. As she and her clone troopers prepared to engage Separatist droid forces, Bly received Order 66 from the Chancellor which identified Secura as a traitor. Before she could react, Secura was shot twice in the back and crumpled to the ground, where her feebly twitching body was subjected to further laser barrages. Lightyears away on Kaller, Jedi Master Depa Billaba received a vision of Secura's murder; this allowed her and her Padawan Caleb Dume to fight off their erstwhile executioners, but Billaba eventually fell defending her student.
