Admiral Forn Dodonna was a senior fleet commander who served with the Republic Navy during the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War. She was a native of Commenor and a member of a traditional military family and soon rose to the rank of captain, earning command of the Inexpugnable-class command ship Tremendous by the time of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders' attack. She gained considerable tactical and leadership experience fighting the Mandalorians before being promoted to Rear Admiral and assigned to defend Coruscant and its surrounding worlds by the Jedi Knights Revan and Malak. Dodonna held this post without incident until that war's conclusion at the Battle of Malachor V.
