Description: Keeve Trennis was a human female Jedi Master who lived during the High Republic Era. Originally the Padawan of the Trandoshan Jedi Master Sskeer, Trennis rose to the rank of Jedi Knight in 232 BBY after saving a city of diminuitive Ximpi on the planet Shuraden from space-faring ridadi. She found herself stationed aboard the newly-christened Starlight Beacon, a Republic space station that stood as a symbol of hope and prosperity in the Outer Rim Territories. Although she had great skills, Trennis harbored feelings of self-doubt while stationed on the Beacon. Nevertheless, she resolved to be the best Jedi she could be while in service to the Order.
An investigation Trennis performed with Sskeer, and the bond-twins Terec and Ceret lead them to the world Sedri Minor, where Ceret went missing. Trennis discovered that a boy named Julus was missing too, so Trennis followed Julus' friend Bartol into caverns beneath the planet's surface where they discovered the presence of the Drengir, who were a species of sentient amorphous carnivorous plant-like creatures. Jedi Master Avar Kriss arrived to help them, but then they were approached by Sskeer, who was now mind controlled by the Drengir. Trennis refused to believe that her former master was gone and managed to get through to him. Sskeer used his attachment to the Drengir to push the creatures away from them with the force.
A confrontation with the Hutt Cartel lead Sskeer to almost be overtaken by the influence of the Drengir, but Trennis approached Sskeer and managed to get through to him and help him resist. Sskeer told Trennis to perform a mind touch on him, and therefore convince the Drengir he was connected to that they shouldn't eat people. Trennis did so, and it worked, but it also sent Sskeer into a comatose state. Refusing to give up on Sskeer, Trennis eventually joined him in the Drengir root-mind and together discovered the location of the Great Progenitor, the leader of the Drengir. Trennis suffered horrifying visions because of it, but it allowed the Jedi to perform an assault against the Progenitor, alongside the Hutts, who had made an alliance with the Jedi, which resulted in the capture of the creature.
The victory would be short lived as the Republic Fair on Valo was destroyed by the organization of mauraders known as the Nihil during the assault. Believing that the Jedi Council was not doing enough to stop the Nihil, Trennis would form a plan headed by Marshal Avar Kriss that would see Trennis and Terec going undercover within the Nihil. The plan was successful for a short time, until on the planet Xais the Jedi's former ally, the captured Hutt Myarga Anjiliac Atirue, revealed Trennis and Terec's true idenities. Trennis and Terec fought back, but would be defeated by Tempest Runner Lourna Dee, who unleashed the Great Leveler on them. Trennis had horrifying and terrifying visions due to the attack, and was left at the mercy of the Nihil until Sskeer and Kriss arrived and rescued her.
Later, she fought beside Kriss and Sskeer against the Nihil in the Battle for No-Space, but had to stop Kriss from killing a defenseless Dee and convince her to capture her instead. Just as they brought back Dee to Starlight Beacon, the space station was bombed. When they boarded the station to rescue innocents, they were subjected to the effects of creatures like the Great Leveler, Sskeer sacrificing himself and staying behind to save Trennis from them. After rescuing Terec and Ceret, she took an escape pod to the surface of Eiram and met up with Kriss. Sometime afterward, she was promoted to the rank of Master. However, Trennis later left the Jedi Order, becoming a member of the Lost, which saddened Yoda.
Personality and traits
Hopeful Jedi
Keeve Trennis was a human female with dark skin and brown eyes. She wore her curly brown hair to the right side of her face, whereas the hair on her left side was shaved short. Trennis was a determined Jedi who trusted deeply in her connection with the Force, though she was prone to feelings of self-doubt. Although she was skilled in the Force, she thought to herself that others believed she was not ready for knighthood. Even to herself, she feared that she was unworthy of the name Jedi. In truth, several beings believed that the young Jedi had a bright future ahead of her and always urged her to follow in the path before her as the will of the Force. Even as figures such as Grand Master Yoda and her own master Sskeer—whom she thought of as a father—urged her to trust in the Force, Trennis was unable to quiet the doubt in her mind.
Trennis believed in hope, trusted that good could prevail if it was worked towards, and wanted to help those in need by serving as a Jedi. Trennis was inspired by individuals like Avar Kriss, whom she admired for her accomplishments on Hetzal Prime during the Great Hyperspace Disaster. She had some trouble controlling her excitement around the esteemed Jedi Master, and found herself starstruck after learning of Kriss's great actions in the past. Trennis was aware of the fact that she negatively compared herself to more experienced Jedi like Kriss and the bond-twins Terec and Ceret, whom she considered to to be living legends. Trennis also thought very highly of and was very fond of her former master Sskeer. Even after becoming a Knight, Trennis was known to often be by her former master's side and helped him frequently. Despite conflicts within herself, Trennis vowed to never let down people like Kriss and Sskeer who truly believed in her.
Still, Trennis was not perfect, and it was impossible for her to ensure that pain would not befall the people she cared about. During her master's struggles with the dark side of the Force, Trennis felt helpless. She desired to help Sskeer make it through his troubles, but she had no idea how to do so. Trennis was fiercely protective of the defenseless, but she learned from experience that she could not stop death, no matter how much she wished it could always be prevented. Upon discovering the corpse of the boy Julus on Sedri Minor, she consoled the child's friend Bartol, confessing to him that it was normal to feel sorrow for another.
Trennis was a young firebrand, and more impulsive than was becoming of a Jedi Knight. She was a sarcastic and quick-witted individual, trading barbs with her master Sskeer while on missions that poked fun at each others abilities. She was easily annoyed by beings like the Ximpi of Shuraden, thinking to herself that she had been cursed by the Force to have them in her presence. Trennis was prone to swearing, using expletives like kriff in formal settings when even she knew it was best to avoid such language.
Trennis was passionate and determined, and was willing to defy authority to stand up for what she believed in. During the fight against the Drengir, she disobeyed Master Estala Maru when he ordered her to come asist Avar Kriss, and instead entering the stasis field holding a comatose and infected Sskeer, believing that he was the key to defeating the Drengir, and was thus connected to the Drengir root-mind. She also later stood up to Jedi Council Member Stellan Gios during a meeting with him that she was present for, passionately expressing to him her belief that the Jedi should do more to fight back against and stop the Nihil. Over her years of experience as a Jedi Knight-turned-Master, she became convinced that things went wrong when she and her friends were not open with each other.
Lost, yet found
The evolving Nihil conflict saw Trennis made into a Republic marshal in response to her desire to do good and help others. However, she doubted that her direct service to the Republic and role in waging a conflict actually brought help, particularly reflecting on how she told her followers they were fighting for light and life while in private she doubted if that was the actual outcome of their actions. In particular, Lourna Dee's shooting of H'Tar—even if it helped to win the war against the Nihil and save their own lives—weighted on her conscious, as she felt, in another context, H'Tar could have been saved. Instead, however, Dee had fired upon H'Tar as a direct result of Trennis teaching her to grow beyond her old self and to help her new friends in a wartime context, creating guilt in Trennis.
In the end, Trennis feared what the Jedi Order would become if it continued down the path set by the Nihil conflict; she outlined her fears to Yoda that the Order may find itself fighting in anger and leading armies into battle all in the name of stopping a great evil, a hypothetical situation that would ultimately come to pass with the eventual Clone Wars. Telling Yoda she was unsure if she had actually helped people as a marshal, she fully admitted it was her fear—a fear far greater than she had thought possible—driving her away from the Jedi, but she was unable to face the life being a modern Jedi would entail. Sskeer's lack of comment and apparent departure broke her heart and left her wondering if she had made a mistake, but he quickly returned to her side as Jedi liaison to the Beacon, earning a heartful laugh from Tennis, who admitted she saw him as her father. While among the Jedi Order Trennis was counted among "the Lost," Trennis found joy in her new life, setting off from her conversation with Yoda to become Speaker of the Beacon.
Powers and abilities
Trennis was trained in the Jedi arts, and as such could use the Force to accomplish tasks. She was able to telekinetically move objects as well as telepathically sense danger and communicate with other beings. While on Shuraden, Trennis connected with the hive mind of the ridadi, sensing the whole of their journey through space and seeing a possible future in which the locusts attacked the Starlight Beacon.
The Jedi Knight was trained in the usage of a lightsaber by her master, Sskeer. During their training session on Shuraden, she was able to best her one-armed master in combat, though the Trandoshan criticized her technique, instructing her to improve on her lateral sweep. She was also able to fly several types of ships, including the T-1 shuttle as well as the Jedi Vector, a highly dangerous starship that only a skilled Force-sensitive could properly operate.
Trennis was also able to perform a mind touch, which was not a very commonly used ability in the High Republic Era. During the fight against the Drengir on Sedri Minor, Trennis performed a mind touch on Sskeer, who at the time was connected to the Drengir root-mind, and was thus able to perform a mind trick on all of the Drengir connected to the root-mind at once, convincing them not to eat people for a few months. She was able to create a Force barrier strong enough to protect Myarga Anjiliac Atirue from a close range explosion.
Equipment
Trennis carried a green double-bladed lightsaber. The weapon was ornately designed and could be split down the middle, allowing her to use two single-bladed sabers. She possessed Jedi clothing that was the standard for her time, with two sets each; one was a mostly brown attire for missions out in the galaxy and the other was a set of ceremonial white and yellow robes reserved for important occasions. As a Padawan, Trennis wore a Padawan braid that signified her position. For dangerous situations in which oxygen was a scarcity, Trennis carried a rebreather.
While infiltrating Xeetar's Nihil Tempest, Trennis flew a Nihil Stormship scavenged from Grizal. As her disguise, she wore extensive armor covering her upper body in the style of the Nihil's, knee pads, boots, donned red face paint in the shape of the Nihil's emblem, and wore multiple earrings.
She flew a Jedi Vector on Shuraden that she purposefully lost in order to lure away a swarm of ridadi. Following the fall of Starlight Beacon, she traveled aboard a ship known as the Gios.
