| A Jedi Master who saved the day during the Stark Hyper- space Conflict by rallying the troops into a surprising victory, Plo Koon was a powerful warrior who often took decisive action to achieve his goals. The Force ran strong in Plo Koon's family, and he came from a long line of Kel Dor Jedi Knights. As Plo Koon, like all Kel Dor, grew up in an atmosphere containing little oxygen, he had to wear an anti-ox mask to filter out oxygen while on other planets. He also had highly developed extrasensory organs which increased his awareness during conflict. Plo Koon was more martial a Jedi than most. Kel Dor natives had a reputation for seeing moral issues in black and white, with clear distinctions between right and wrong. As such, he often took decisive action with little contemplation. Though some would see this as a flaw - especially in a Jedi - Plo's decisiveness actually aided him and the Republic greatly during the Stark Hyperspace War. After Master Tyvokka - who was once Plo's Master - was killed, Plo rallied the Republic forces and led them to victory. His actions in the conflict granted him the title of Jedi Master, and a place on the Jedi High Council. Plo hoped his good friend, Qui-Gon Jinn, would someday sit on the Council also, but the maverick Jedi Master was killed by a Sith Lord during the Battle of Naboo. Plo attented his cremation, and the Naboo victory celebrations afterward. Ten years later, Plo was part of the strike team led by Mace Windu which attempted to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi from Count Dooku on Geonosis. During the ensuing battle, Plo Koon, Ki-Adi-Mundi and twenty other Jedi boarded a docked Trade Federation Core Ship, and threw the switch that they thought would deactivate the enemy droid forces. However, the Neimoidians had learned from their failiure on Naboo, and had created their new droids to be independant of the control system. Luckily for Koon, the Republic Army arrived to save the remaining Jedi, though Plo lost many more friends that day. Plo Koon went on to serve the Republic as a General in the Grand Army, and flew an advanced Jedi Starfighter during one of the last battles of the Clone Wars. However, the Jedi Master was killed shortly afterwards. |
