History

A page from Star Wars: The High Republic: A Test of Courage

As a Padawan, Vernestra Rwoh studied under Stellan Gios — one of the most well-respected Jedi in the Order. While it was evident to many Jedi that Vernestra was not a skilled pilot, few knew that her ill-at-ease feelings during long space flights resulted from visions she experienced during hyperspace travel. However, her confidence and strong connection to The Force allowed her to pass her Jedi trials at the unusually early age of 15. Unlike many of her fellow Jedi, Rwoh did not experience romantic feelings for others, but she had strong connections to many other Jedi, including her first Padawan Imri Cantaros.

Starlight Beacon

Shortly after the Great Disaster, Rwoh became Imri’s Master after his first was killed during a Nihil attack. Rwoh helped to calm Imri’s emotions, steering him away from seeking revenge, although the two were among the Jedi fighting The Nihil threat before the fall of Starlight Beacon. After that act of Nihil terrorism, for a time Vernestra believed that Imri was killed along with her former Master. As a result, Vernestra pulled back from the Order, choosing the independent path of a Wayseeker, later joining her old friend Avon Starros to venture into the Nihil-controlled Occlusion Zone.

Vernestra Rwoh

A hundred years after the fall of Starlight Beacon, toward the end of The High Republic, Vernestra Rwoh served the Jedi as a respected elder and liaison with the Galactic Senate on Coruscant. When an assassin named Mae Aniseya began targeting members of the Jedi Order, Rwoh could tell from holograms that she had been trained by a Jedi. Despite her trepidations, Vernestra sent Jedi Master Sol — one of the Jedi on Mae’s list and her twin sister’s former Master — and a team to Khofar to extract the Jedi Kelnacca and intercept the assassin on her quest.

Vernestra finds Sol

Taking matters into her own hands when that mission failed, Vernestra took her ship, the Cantaros, to investigate firsthand with a small team including Padawan Mog Adana. But rumors of the multiple murders had reached the Senate, jeopardizing the Jedi Order’s standing. Following Sol to Brendok, Vernestra arrived to find her friend dead and sensed a familiar presence: the Stranger. Upon returning to face a Senate tribunal, Vernestra claimed Sol was the rogue Jedi who had conspired to kill his accomplices over the events of a mission to Brendok more than a decade prior, sparking an external review of the Jedi Order.
