Tassida Judrelle was a female Zabrak Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order, living during the waning years of the Old Republic. Before the Clone Wars started, Tassida was assigned to a team of Jedi to break up a salt smuggling ring in an asteroid belt near Cona. After that, she was one of the 200 Jedi who went with Mace Windu to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Padmé Amidala from capitivity, and was killed in the arena with Lumas Etima, Sarrissa Jeng, Sar Labooda, Tu'ala, Nicanas Tassu, and many other Jedi.
Biography[]
A Force-sensitive female Twi'lek from the planet Ryloth, Tassida Judrelle was discovered by the Jedi Order at a very young age, and began her training in the ways of the Force. After passing her Trials of Knighthood on Coruscant, Tassida was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight. In 22 BBY, Tassida accompanied Stass Allie and Quarmall on a mission to capture the Arcona Lojrak Shrag, leader of a smuggling ring. With the help of Billey, the Jedi team traveled to the smugglers' secret base where they engaged the criminals. Through the reports of independent dealers, the Jedi managed to arrest Lojrak Shrag and 14 of his workers, but lieutenant Godiban Bakoosta was killed in the skirmish.
Later on, Tassida returned to the Jedi Temple and was one of the 200 Jedi that were assembled by Mace Windu, a member of the Jedi High Council, to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Senator Padmé Amidala from their Geonosian captors that were aligned with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Arriving on the planet Geonosis, Tassida and the Jedi task force managed to save Amidala, Kenobi, and Skywalker from execution by the Confederacy leaders, and fought in the Petranaki Arena against the Separatist Droid Army. However, she was overwhelmed by the sheer number of battle droids and was struck down by blasterfire.
