Biography
As an iral serving with the Republic Navy, iral Dodonna led Republic forces against Vandar Tokare, the group ed the fleet in its endeavor to destroy the Star Forge.
Upon arriving in the system, iral Dodonna’s fleet was confronted with a sizeable defense fleet, which guarded the Star Forge itself. Dodonna was ed by the Sith Empire.
Meanwhile, Dodonna was facing troubles of her own. Her entire fleet was faced with an impenetrable defensive line, preventing her from ordering a bombardment of the Star Forge. Carth attributed this to Bastila Shan, a fallen Jedi who was very adept at using battle meditation, a Force ability that allowed her to inspire allied troops and demoralize enemies, influencing an entire battle. Bastila’s battle meditation was allowing the Sith to quickly counter every strategy iral Dodonna devised. Nevertheless, iral Dodonna pressed on.
Conditions soon changed after Bastila stopped using her battle meditation against the Republic fleet. Soon Dodonna’s relentless press against the Sith ranks finally punctured a breach in the fleet’s formation, splitting it into two groups. iral Dodonna quickly exploited this development, sending Red Squadron in with Green Squadron to widen the gap. She then ordered her capital ships to reinforce their positions.
Once in range, iral Dodonna’s fleet commenced a concentrated assault on the Star Forge. Realizing that the Star Forge was too well reinforced to be destroyed directly by the fleet, Dodonna proposed a precision strike against the Star Forge’s main orbital stabilizers. With these out of commission, the Star Forge would fall out of orbit and crash into the star below. This strategy was quickly implemented. After iral Dodonna’s capital ships destroyed the stabilizers, she ordered the fleet to pull back away from the Star Forge, unwilling to risk any of her ships being destroyed during the Star Forge’s descent.
The Star Forge was finished, colliding with a solar flare which caused the Star Forge to incinerate from within. With the Star Forge destroyed and Malak dead, the Sith fleet was thrown into disarray, allowing the Republic to sweep through Sith space and recover their losses.
Returning to Lehon, the fleet celebrated their victory. Dodonna herself awarded the crew of the Ebon Hawk with the Cross of Glory, the Republic’s most prestigious medal, on the steps of the Temple of the Ancients (the very place that the crew had disabled the disruptor field generator at), thus commemorating them for their invaluable during the battle; even the crew’s droids were given medals.
The remainder of the war was short; the iral Onasi would play an important role during the Dark Wars.
Personality and traits
iral Dodonna was a very strong-willed woman. After all, she was one of the few female fleet commanders in recorded history. Despite her gender, she was respected by her officers, and they served with her faithfully. Dodonna was a very comionate person, and cared for her entire fleet, showing concern for it and considering a retreat several times during the Battle of the Star Forge. Dodonna was also appreciative of those who helped her, and she was modest enough to accept help when offered. Dodonna awarded the crew of the Ebon Hawk with the Cross of Glory, and gave them credit for the battle’s outcome, not keeping any of the glory for herself.
But comion does not gain rank, and iral Dodonna’s military traits are what afforded her the considerably high rank she possessed. iral Dodonna was an extremely consummate military commander, overseeing every step of an operation, employing a variety of substrategies to achieve victory. This multi-tasking, micro-managing could prove a distraction, however, and Dodonna could lose sight of a key enemy maneuver during the heat of battle. Nevertheless, this trait was very crucial during the Battle of the Star Forge, when each fighter counted against Bastila’s battle meditation. From the smallest fighter to the largest capital ship, iral Dodonna perceived them all equally important, and used them to the best of their abilities. When she saw an opportunity, she wasted no time in seizing it. During the Battle of the Star Forge, Dodonna was able to skillfully take a small breach that had formed in the enemy’s formation and enlarge it, pushing her capital ships right in behind her fighter squadrons, effectively wedging her formations and cleaving the Sith ranks in two, allowing her to bombard the Star Forge itself.
Dodonna, as a military officer, was a perfectionist. She was neatly groomed, her hair cleanly trimmed, and her uniform spotless. Dodonna also had exceptional posture, notable especially due to her tall, lean build. Dodonna also had light brown hair and gray eyes.
