Shaak Ti

"I am a Jedi. Where the individual and the group are one of the same. Much like you clones."

- Shaak Ti to Echo and Fives

Shaak Ti was a female Togruta Jedi Master who fought in the Clone Wars. In addition to her role on the Jedi High Council, Shaak Ti was also in charge of overseeing clone trooper training on Kamino. As a result, during the war, she often spent her time on Kamino.

Battle of Hypori
"Never have we been out-maneuvered by droids. His strategies are without flaw." "This is the end. We're all doomed!"

- Shaak Ti and Sha'a Gi about Grievous

Jedi Council members Shaak Ti and Ki-Adi-Mundi led the republic campaign against the separatist forces on Hypori with fellow Jedi Aayla Secura, K'Kruhk, Daakman Barrek, Sha'a Gi, and Tarr Seir. Here, General Grievous would make his first intentional appearance to the Jedi leadership, commanding a great army of super battle droids toward the cusp of victory. After a few days of intense ground battle, the Republic forces were wiped out, leaving only a few remaining exhausted Jedi Generals, including Shaak Ti. They took cover in the wreckage of one of their cruisers, and Grievous commanded a ceasefire, intending to engage the Jedi himself. In the ferocious duel that followed, Grievous slew the Jedi survivors, leaving only Mundi, Secura, and Ti alive. With the help of ARC trooper Captain Fordo, Ti and the other 2 Jedi managed to escape the battlefield. Both Ti and Secura were left in a critical condition, suffering severe wounds which required respirators, intensive care, and bacta treatment in the days afterward.

Clone Cadets
"Today is your graduation. From here, you ship out to fight against the Separatists and restore peace to the galaxy. Congratulations. You are no longer cadets. You are troopers. May the Force be with you."

- Shaak Ti, addressing the newest batch of clone troopers

After her recovery, Shaak Ti, along with bounty hunters Bric and El-Les, observed clone cadets' training on Kamino. Ti noted a particular squad of clones had trouble running the Citadel Challenge course. On the night the squad failed their graduation test, Troopers Echo and Fives approached her and requested a transfer to Bravo Squad from Domino Squad. The lovely Jedi Mistress denied their request but, instead, mentioned that she would allow Domino Squad to retake the final test. Amazingly, Domino Squad did even better than their previous attempt, overcoming each other's differences and working together to complete the test. Expressing her surprise at their improvisation, Ti commented that the troopers of Domino Squad may be some of the best she had ever seen.

Later, Shaak Ti led the graduation ceremony of the newest batch of clone troopers.

ARC Troopers
Shaak Ti participated in the Third Battle of Kamino, coordinating defensive efforts from Tipoca's command center. She destroyed a company of Aqua Droids with ease when they invaded the command center and later assisted the clone troopers in pushing back the last of the Separatist forces.

Battle of Coruscant
Near the end of the war, a battle broke out on the Republic capital of Coruscant. Shaak Ti was assigned by Mace Windu to protect Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine from the clutches of General Grievous alongside fellow Jedi Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama. While Corobb and Moudama fell to Grievous' blades, Ti survived despite being shocked with electrical cables by Grievous, allowing him to take her lightsaber as a trophy and escape with the Chancellor as his prisoner. Found in agony wrapped in the charged cables by Windu, Ti apologised to the fellow Jedi Master, claiming that she had failed. All was not lost however as after Windu had fallen out of contact with Ti, Jedi Grandmaster Yoda called upon Jedi General's Anakin Skywalker and his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi to rescue the Chancellor, much to the dismay of Skywalker's former apprentice Ahsoka Tano, who had wanted the two Jedi to aid her in her Siege on Mandalore.

Death
Shaak Ti was recovering in the Jedi Temple when Order 66 was issued, turning the clone troopers against the Jedi. The order was issued by Chancellor Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who sent fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, now christened as Darth Vader, to storm the Temple and eliminate the Jedi. Vader found Ti meditating during the massacre and stabbed her in the back with his Jedi lightsaber. She was one of the earliest victims of the Great Jedi Purge and among the many Jedi Council members killed in the attack.

Personality and traits
A skilled warrior, Shaak Ti was an adept lightsaber-wielder with mastery over the classical lightsaber forms II Makashi and IV Ataru, which afforded her the reputation of being one of the Jedi Order's most prestigious duelists. This, combined with her force power and mastery over a range of abilities, made her a powerful member of the order and a daunting opponent. Shaak Ti was also a dangerous and aggressive Jedi, one of the best strategists and battle tacticians of the order as a Jedi High General and Council member- being one of the nine chosen leaders of the 250 member Jedi strike force deployed on Geonosis in the opening battle of the Clone War. She was also trusted to safeguard Kamino and the Jedi Temple's defenses and protect the Supreme Chancellor in the Battle of Coruscant. Yet, Ti remained humble, preferring negotiation to fight. However, when the situation called for it, Ti did not hesitate to engage in combat.

Ti held traits that were true to that of a Jedi; a cunning, wise, kind, humble, patient, and compassionate Jedi, viewing the clone troopers as human beings, not objects, Ti was also forgiving; she saw potential in Domino Squad and, despite their numerous failures, allowed them to retake the final test.
