"A Shadow ran through the streets. He darted, back and forth, weaving in and out of alleys. His was trail unsteady, uneven, unpredictable as he raced hopelessly against his single pursuer. He was so close. He could see the ship. He could make it. He could do it. They had found Him. They found the Sith, and so much more. So much it made him sick. He could not, would not let its plans come to fruition. There wasn't an option for failure." ___

Or: Plo Koon's uncle uncovered something the Sith wanted to keep hidden. Perhaps he could've done something, if he had lived. But he didn't, he was just another name added to the list.

Lissarkh: [passes Bultar a note that reads “five way jinx”]

Bultar: Five way jinx? Really?

Agen: [passes Bultar a note that reads “yes, really!”]

Bultar: Alright, fine. Kenobi, Kolar, Lissarkh, Jak'Zin, Vos.

Everyone, shouting at once: Unjinxed!

Quinlan: [gasps for air]

Jak'Zin: You don’t have to hold your breath when you’re jinxed, Vos.

Quinlan: I play prison rules.

Tyvokka, a male Wookiee who hailed from Kashyyyk, was a Jedi Master who lived during the Republic Classic era. He trained several Padawans, the last being Kel Dor Plo Koon. By the time Koon's training was complete, Tyvokka held a seat on the Jedi High Council. In 44 BBY, the Galactic Republic suffered from a bacta shortage and trouble began to flare in the Outer Rim Territories. Since bacta was now rarer, and therefore more expensive, many of the Outer Rim worlds were unable to afford it. However, the newly-formed Stark Commercial Combine began preying on Trade Federation ships, looting their bacta supplies and selling it to the Outer Rim worlds at a cut price. When representatives of the Federation protested to the Galactic Senate, it was decided that a diplomatic solution would be sought after. As a result, Tyvokka was chosen to be chief negotiator between the two parties. Before departing for the summit, the Jedi Master approached his former apprentice, as there was an opening for one of the rotational seats on the High Council, and he wished to put Koon's name forth. At first, the Kel Dor declined the offer, as he believed that there were other Jedi, such as Qui-Gon Jinn, who were better suited for the position. Tyvokka scoffed at the suggestion, considering Jinn a Gray Jedi, and insisted that Koon was the most suitable candidate for the role. Eventually, the Kel Dor relented and accepted his former master's judgment. Tyvokka then requested that Koon serve as his chief aide during the upcoming summit, and the Kel Dor accepted, suggesting that they bring Jinn along as well in the hope that the Wookiee might be able to part some wisdom to his fellow Jedi Master. Tyvokka aired his suspicion to Valorum that the bacta shortage may have been a ruse, as it had brought considerable short-term profits to both the Thyferrans who grew the bacta and the Trade Federation. Tyvokka correctly divined that Stark had planned everything from the beginning, and that the summit itself had been a trap for them. As Stark continued to call for their surrender, Tyvokka grabbed the giant table and flipped it on its side, using it as a shield against Stark's men. As the Jedi leapt into action, Tyvokka assigned Kenobi to protect Gunray, Gallia to protect Valorum, and Koon to assist him. Using the Force, the Wookiee smashed the table and fought Stark's men with his lightsaber. Jinn urged Gunray to activate his droids and have them assist, but Gunray's vague order to "kill them all" resulted in them opening fire on the Jedi as well. Tyvokka was caught unawares and struck by three blaster bolts across the chest.

Plo Koon had 3 apprentices

1# Bultar Swan, after the death of her first teacher, Master Micah Giiett, the process of reassigning Padawan Swan a new Master was started, resulting in Giiett's friend, Master Koon, taking on the training of the Kuati woman to Knighthood.

Micah Giiett: Escaping the planet with Masters Gallia, Eeth Koth, and Tsui Choi, the Yibikkoror group headed to Yinchorr to aid Master Mace Windu's team on the ground. Under the leadership of Master Koth, Masters Giiett, Koon, and Twoseas met up with Windu after fighting their way through the Yinchorri warriors. Covering their comrades' retreat, Masters Giiett and Koon joined with Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi in fighting back the savage warriors. As the fighting abated for a short period, the Jedi gathered to plan strategy when a lone warrior ambushed the group and mortally wounded Giiett. Bleeding profusely, Giiett ordered his comrades to drag him next to a downed tank and leave him. Warning off Jinn's feelings of revenge Giiett handed his life-friend Plo Koon one of his sabers to be memorialized in the Temple. Holding on to the other, he sent his friends away and waited for the Yinchorri to approach. As the brutal species surrounded the tank, Giiett lured them closer with promises of revealing the secrets of his Order. As they came close Giiett told them that Jedi knew the meaning of sacrifice and ignited his lightsaber against the tank's fuel cells, destroying the tank, the Yinchorri, and himself.

2# Lissarkh - A Force-sensitive female Trandoshan, Lissarkh was a member of the Jedi Order, and received training in the ways of the Force. After a time, Lissarkh was selected by Jedi Master Plo Koon to be his Padawan. After years of training one-on-one with Koon, Lissarkh was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight shortly before the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY. She was killed in the Great Jedi Purge when her own Clone troopers turned on her without hesitation.

Eeth: Any really, but I'm especially into the more free-spirited.

Lissarkh: Oh my kriffng gods, I mean your BLOOD TYPE

Eeth: Oh. Red

Wolffe meets General Lissarkh the week after Ventress takes his eye. He doesn’t see the point in putting himself through rehab when the long-necks are going to decommission him anyway, and no offense, General Koon, but the Kaminoans aren’t really scared of someone like you.

General Koon tilts his head in the holo. “What would they be afraid of?” he asks in the tone of voice that future Wolffe will recognize as signaling trouble ahead for somebody in Plo’s way. Wolffe snorts bitterly. Maybe if he gave a giant lizard one of those fancy laser swords, but that was never going to happen. 

Not two days later, one robed Trandoshan with a lightsaber appears in the doorway of the medical ward. She picks Wolffe out almost immediately and marches to his bedside. “Get up,” she says. “Time to work.”

Wolffe stares up at her. She rivals the long-necks in height, and probably weighs twice as much as one. “What?”

“Master Plo likes you,” she says. “He says you have some hangup about doing your PT. I’m here to fix that.”

Wolffe blinks, sure his brain is making things up to fill in the missing data from his eye. He revises his opinion on the lizard woman to definitely not a hallucination when she tips the mattress over and dumps him on the ground. The rest of his first day of PT goes about the same way. 

General Lissarkh is as different from General Koon as possible. She has no patience for fools, no brain-to-mouth filter, and no time to waste in getting Wolffe back up to spec. She is also every bit as exacting as the Cuy’val Dar, except that she does all the exercises with him, running laps and doing push-ups and ribbing him the entire time. She spends hours throwing rubber balls for him to catch and spars with him until he’s almost used to having a blind side. When they’re done for the day, she lurks in his general vicinity, staring down every long-neck who comes within 20 feet of him and unnerving everyone else in the process too.

Wolffe thinks she's hilarious when he’s not busy cursing her name, parentage, sexual preferences, and personal hygiene, which is almost all of the time. But the work does pay off - he’s cleared to return to his Pack as soon as the shuttle arrives. The long-necks hurry him on board and practically shove General Lissarkh in after him, and they’re cleared for departure faster than Wolffe thought possible. He watches as the medical station disappears into streaks of light as they jump to hyperspace.

“We’ll be meeting up with Master Plo in a few hours,” says the General. “He whinged until they gave him the supply run so he could pick you up.” He can hear her eyes rolling. 

It still doesn’t explain what she’s been doing with him for six weeks. She’s a Jedi in her own right and has been for over a decade. General Koon is a sentimental man, as Wolffe has come to realize. General Lissarkh doesn’t have a sentimental bone in her body. 

“Thank you, sir,” he says instead. “For helping me.” He doesn’t say he couldn’t have done it without her, because that would be a lie. But she was an excellent motivator, and having her around was easier than not. She gives him the side-eye.

“I can hear you thinking. Ask your question,” she says. 

“Why?” He shrugs. “General Koon I’d understand. You don’t know me, sir.”

She smiles a terrifying smile. “When I was a padawan I thought I was invincible, and I did a lot of reckless things. Put myself in all kinds of danger. One day it caught up to me. Just because my leg grew back doesn’t mean I wasn’t without it for two years.”

He studies her in a new light and thinks he might understand. “You carry it with you, sir.”

“You are your experiences, but you’re not only your experiences,” says General Lissarkh. “Master Plo is going to ask you a question. I want you to really think about it before you answer.”

“I don’t need to think about it,” Wolffe says. “I’d do anything for General Koon.”

“He’s not asking for himself,” says General Lissarkh. “He only cares that it’s the right choice for you. When he asks, he doesn’t want anything from you. He doesn’t think less of you, and he won’t think more of you however you answer, so - answer for yourself. And if that means you need time or more information or something else, trust that you’ll get it.”

“Even General Koon has his limits,” he says, trying not to sound too doubting. 

“I guarantee you won’t be the one to find them,” she says with a laugh. “Not where hundreds of beings have tried and failed. He survived my apprenticeship, after all.”

Wolffe ducks his head. “He can’t just make things appear. That’s all I meant.” 

A/N #1: I want to start off by saying, Ahsoka was discovered in 33BBY by Master Plo, and during that year by Legends standards was Yinchorr Uprising. So because of TCW’s habit of making a mess of the timeline that was technically fine before, I want to still talk about my perspective of Ahsoka’s relations with Plo’s two Padawans at the time along with Bultar and Lissarkh’s personalities and mentality’s at the time next to Plo’s.

A/N #2: If you don’t know who Bultar and Lissarkh are, I wouldn’t blame you. Bultar was seen in ATOC during the First Battle of Geonosis, who was a Padawan to Master Plo to complete her training because of what happened to previous Master which will be discussed. Lissarkh, on the other hand, does not have much information aside from being a female Trandoshan and being Plo’s Padawan as well. With that out of the way let’s begin.
