Nushara Zelline

Blessed are the peacemakers and in a galaxy far, far, away, they have a very tough job. Nushara is clever, far more clever than she's typically given credit for by people who generally consider her a moderately competent dilettante from a famous family. An ex-Jedi and a Senator in the Republic she has become an important mediator in regional conflicts. Nushara Zelline's resume is simple: Trained as a Jedi as a child. Taken as a Padawan by the revered nonviolent Master Kalen Loran. Failed the Jedi trials and expelled from the Order at age twenty. Worked as a labor organizer on Commenor before entering politics. Elected as a Republic Senator at age 29. Brokered peace between Mandalore and Hutt Cartel among a handful of other regional conflicts during her decade in the Senate. And she's an old friend from the Temple, you'd been shocked when she failed her trials, she was never the most proficient with a blade, but you had assumed her knowledge of the Force and her devotion to Jedi ways would help her pass, but she clearly landed on her feet and has thrived after leaving the Order. Which is why you volunteered when the Chancellor decided Nushara needed escort for her next mediation. A dispute considered very intractable, complicated trade rights issues, beyond you to be honest, you weren't there for the tariffs you were mostly there to catch up with Nushara. Despite the annoying diplomatic stuff you were having a blast catching up with Nushara and hanging out together, exchanging stories and exploring local cuisine. It takes her days to even get the leaders into the same room and even then it sounds like they're not in agreeable moods. You hear raised voices from the conference room, nothing new there. The scuffling sound of chairs moving and then the crack of a blaster. You were about to burst in when a squad of local troops round the corner, you barely have enough time to raise your blade and get into a defensive position.
