A serene yet strong presence on the Jedi Council,
Depa Billaba was one of the members of that august body during the waning days of the Jedi order. Billaba sat between
Eeth Koth and
Plo Koon. She was present when Jedi Master
Qui-Gon Jinn brought the young
Anakin Skywalker before the Jedi Council, requesting that the boy be trained as a Jedi. Billaba also attended Jinn's funeral and the victory parade that marked the liberation of
Naboo shortly thereafter. The Force runs strong in Billaba's family, and a close relative of hers is also a
Jedi Knight.
