Oppo Rancisis, an adept strategist and tactician, was a Thisspiasian![](MyCollection_Unit_Thisspiasian.jpg) | ThisspiasianSentient Species | male who abdicated the throne of his homeworld in favor of becoming a Jedi Master. Offered to the Jedi Order![](MyCollection_Unit_Jedi Order.jpg) | Jedi OrderOrganizationGalaxy-Wide Organizations | as an infant by his mother, the Blood Monarch of Thisspias, Rancisis was apprenticed to Master Yaddle![](MyCollection_Unit_Yaddle.jpg) | YaddleCharacterSupporting Characters | , training to become a Jedi Knight almost two centuries before the Battle of Yavin![](MyCollection_Unit_Battle of Yavin.jpg) | Battle of YavinEventGalactic Civil War | . In 186 BBY, Rancisis' sister was killed by terrorists, and he was offered the throne; he declined, instead preferring to continue on the path of the Jedi. After achieving the rank of Master and being given a place on the Jedi High Council, Rancisis served as one of the Jedi's top military advisors due to his tactical nous. He was also a member of and often led the Council of Reconciliation. Rancisis served the Jedi Council through the re-emergence of the Sith, the Separatist Crisis, and the Battle of Geonosis![](MyCollection_Unit_Battle of Geonosis.jpg) | Battle of GeonosisEventThe Clone Wars | , and when the Clone Wars began, he became a Jedi General. Along with Yoda![](MyCollection_Unit_Yoda.jpg) | YodaCharacterMajor Characters | , Rancisis spent much of the war on Coruscant![](MyCollection_Unit_Coruscant.jpg) | CoruscantPlanet | , organizing and coordinating Republic forces through the galaxy, such as during the defense of Kamino and the Battle of Zaadja, conferring with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine![](MyCollection_Unit_Palpatine.jpg) | Palpatine(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | , and serving on the Council of Reconciliation. Near the close of the war, Rancisis learned of a Separatist operation on the planet Saleucami; Dark Acolyte![](MyCollection_Unit_Dooku's Dark Acolyte.jpg) | Dooku's Dark AcolyteOrganizationTrade Federation & Separatist Alliance | Sora Bulq was overseeing the creation of a cloned Morgukai![](MyCollection_Unit_Morgukai.jpg) | MorgukaiOrganizationPlanetary and Sector | "Shadow Army," which Rancisis feared would prove a match for the Jedi. The Thisspiasian Jedi Master led a team of Jedi and three battalions of clone troopers to Saleucami![](MyCollection_Unit_Saleucami.jpg) | SaleucamiPlanet | , and besieged![](MyCollection_Unit_Siege of Saleucami.jpg) | Siege of SaleucamiEventThe Clone Wars | the planet for five months. Rancisis used his battle meditation to aid Republic forces during the conflict, to the point of exhaustion. Sora Bulq![](MyCollection_Unit_Bulq, Sora.jpg) | Sora Bulq(Weequay)CharacterSupporting Characters | used this to his advantage, sending a group of Anzati assassins to slay Rancisis, but the Jedi Master was able to fend them off and defeated his attackers. However, the attack had in fact been a ruse orchestrated by Bulq, who used the distraction to enter Rancisis' chamber unnoticed and stab the Thisspiasian in the back, killing him.Read more... |
