| - Senu Meji, was a human Jedi Master during the final decades of the Old Republic. Considered by many in the Jedi Order to be the foremost expert on the Double-Bladed Lightsaber. Meji hailed from humble existence as the son of trading merchants on Mon Calamari, he was taken for training as a jedi at the age of eight months by the Jedi Watchman of the planet. During his first years at the Jedi Temple, he was educated in the Sarlacc clan, until he was selected to be mentored by Jedi Master Dooku, who had just lost his second apprentice during a mission to Baltizaar. Senu's apprenticeship under Dooku was rigorous and sometimes dangerous, but Meji was promoted none the less to the rank of Jedi Knight in 30 BBY. Soon after this, Senu himself took a padawan, a young Corellian student by the name of Sarrissa Jeng. Jeng proved to be more than a handful for Meji, but in the end, Senu's rigor and discipline prevailed and in 23 BBY, Sarrissa was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight and Senu was promoted to the position of Jedi Master. Senu, only being twenty-six at the time, was considered a rising star by various members of the Jedi Council, despite having the stigma of being the last apprentice of Count Dooku, who had voluntarily left the Order in 32 BBY. It was at this time that Senu Meji would gain an old family heirloom that he would keep with him for the rest of his life, and eventually pass onto his son, a double purple bladed lightsaber. Senu came into possession of the blade per the request of the Archive Librarian Jocasta Nu. Coming into possession of the blade was one of the last events before Senu, like all other Jedi in the Order, were thrown into war, when in 22 BBY, Senu and his former apprentice, along with a strike team of over two hundred other jedi, raced to save the lives of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Padme Amidala. During the battle in the Petranaki Arena, Senu was severely wounded and his former apprentice was killed. Escaping the Arena alive, Senu returned back to the Temple where he would recover from his injuries and soon after take command of the 55th Control Legion, amongst other battalions he would command later in the war. Senu would go on to lead his troops to several vital victories during the war, including conflicts on Trandosha, Talamo, Jirden'a, and Korriban. The Clone Wars soon came to a close, and during the Battle of Coruscant, Senu was tasked with coordinating the defense of the Jedi Temple during the Battle, Meji was commended for his command of the Temple defences by Mace Windu shortly after the battle. Meji was present at the Temple during Operation Knightfall and was one of the only Jedi Masters to be captured alive during the battle, being incapacitated by members of the 501st Legion. He was transported maximum security prison on Manaan where he awaited execution by the New Order.
