Description: Cere Junda was a Force-sensitive human female Jedi Master who mentored Padawan Cal Kestis in the ways of the Force during the rise of the Galactic Empire. At one time she was trained as the Padawan of Jedi Master Eno Cordova, before graduating to the rank of Jedi Knight and taking Trilla Suduri as her own apprentice.

In the aftermath of Order 66, Junda and Suduri were both eventually captured and severely tortured by the Empire, leading Suduri to fall to the Dark side of the Force as part of the Inquisitorius. Junda escaped from the Empire but was devastated by feelings of guilt and fear, leading her to ultimately sever her connection to the Force. She later met Greez Dritus and joined the crew of his ship the Mantis, and during their travels across the galaxy, she was forced to reconcile with her past mistakes and reconnect with the Force. Determined to overthrow the regime that all but annihilated her fellow Jedi, Junda dedicated herself to the secret restoration of the Jedi Order.

In the end, Junda distanced herself from the Mantis crew, forming a Jedi cache on the holy moon of Jedha and becoming a member of the Hidden Path, a network that smuggled Force-sensitives away from the Empire.

Junda also reencountered her old master, Eno Cordova, and worked together to preserve the Jedi Archives. After being visited again by Cal Kestis, the Empire was tipped off by Bode Akuna about the cache's presence on Jedha. Junda died fighting off Darth Vader during the subsequent assault on the archive.

Skills and abilities
Lightsaber abilities
Cere was a extraordinarily skilled lightsaber duelist whose skills improved over the course of her life, demonstrating the ability to redirect blaster with her lightsaber and during her later years, proved to be considerable enough to combat Purge Troopers with ease. Believing herself to be among the most able of surviving Jedi during the Imperial Era, her abilities were advanced enough to outmatch and intimidate Inquisitors such as the Fifth Brother and engage in battle with the Sith Lord, Darth Vader, in a grueling duel and nearly prevailed. Cere exhibited an aggressive combat style characterized by brute strength and was similar to the style employed by Fifth Brother performed but in a effective manner. Alternatively, she was also capable of an unorthodox lightsaber-blaster hybrid style, combining her abilities with a lightsaber and a blaster with her agility to gain an advantage.

Force power
Junda possessed tremendous power and potential within the Force, with her connection to the dark side of the Force apt enough for Darth Vader to consider her a prime candidate for an Inquisitor. Her abilities matched or surpassed Fifth Brother, whom specialized in using force abilities. Towards the end of her life as a Jedi Master, her force abilities also made her a match for Darth Vader enough to contend with him.

She was skilled in telekinetic abilities such as Force push, Force pull, and could use Force Dash in offensive situations. These telekinetic abilities were advanced enough to stop a Double-bladed spinning lightsaber to a halt and break down each part of the lightsaber to disassemble it in battle as well as use Force Stasis powerful enough to halt Inquisitors. Junda could also create a Force barrier similar in appearance and potency to a ray shield, a barrier that was capable of stopping Darth Vader's lightsaber briefly. For a time, this would leave her unconsious though she later improved, able to perform so without being incapacitated from the effort. With the dark side of the Force, she proved capable of inflicting mass destruction and killing a multitude of people when giving in to despair, fear and rage by involuntarily releasing a shockwave that broke her free from her interrogation chair, killing all but her fallen Padawan. Though it was not enough to stop him, Junda was notably capable of slowing the incredibly powerful Vader down with the power of the dark side for a few seconds, something the Sith Lord was impressed by.

Other skills
An expert on technology and knowledgable on those used by the Empire, Junda was proficient in slicing, a skill she taught her Padawan, Trilla Sunduri, and eventually rebuilt her own archive. She was also a proficient marksman and hallikset player.

Equipment
During the time of the Galactic Republic, Junda possessed Jedi robes and a lightsaber with a green blade, both of which she abandoned the use of during the first years of the Empire in favor of a DL-18 blaster pistol. During this time, she also acquired from Kestis her former apprentice Trilla's Inquisitor lightsaber, which she made use of in conjunction with her pistol during her incursion on Nur with Kestis. During the time separated from Cal, Junda created a new lightsaber with a blue blade. She possessed a seven-string hallikset that Kestis once found and used psychometry to play.
