Due to her insubordination and lack of skill in combat, Jedi apprentice Kira Aurdin was never selected to serve the Republic on the battlefield. Instead, she spent most of her time rebelling against her master, who tried his hardest to put her on a strict training regiment in an attempt to turn her into a true Jedi Knight. Kira never truly felt like she belonged in the Jedi Order, until the Jedi Order ceased to exist. After the Great Jedi Purge and rise of the Galactic Empire, Kira embarked on a life-changing quest that forever changed her mindset and attitude towards being a Jedi.
