Depa Billaba.
Rescued from pirates as a child, shaped by Mace Windu, and forged into one of the Order's finest — her final act was stepping between her Padawan and Order 66.

Two Depa Billaba designs from one era
Forged by Loss, Defined by Loyalty
Born on Chalacta and orphaned young — her parents killed when pirates took her captive — Depa Billaba's story began not in a temple classroom but in survival. It was Mace Windu who found her signal and brought her to safety, then into the Jedi Order as his own Padawan. Under his training she grew into a Jedi Knight of rare discipline, eventually earning a seat on the Jedi High Council alongside the Master who had rescued her.
The Clone Wars changed everything. Serving as a Jedi General, she took Caleb Dume as her Padawan — passing on not just technique but the same steadiness Windu had given her. When Order 66 came at the Battle of Kaller, her own clone battalion turned on them both. That moment, above all others, is who she was.
The two designs in this catalogue sit within the Fall of the Jedi era — the prequel years and The Clone Wars — which is exactly where her story lived and ended. Both carry that arc: a Jedi at the height of her standing, then tested beyond what any Council chamber could prepare for.
Her legacy lives in Kanan Jarrus — and through him, in every Jedi who followed.
