Jalice Andit

"I have your kyber crystals. Don't ask how I got them. I'm willing to give them back to you if you make me the right offer."

―Jalice Andit, to an Imperial spy^[4]

Jalice Andit was a human female mercenary from the moon Jedha who lived in Jedha City with her husband, Joali Andit. The pair were loosely aligned with resistance fighter Saw Gerrera's partisans and aided them in their fight against the Galactic Empire, although the couple cared more about violence and getting paid than Gerrera's ideals.

After Jalice stole a crate of kyber crystals from a lost pilgrim, Gerrera's men took the crate from her. In exchange for several artifacts, Jalice then provided the location of the stronghold where the partisans had taken the crate to an Imperial spy who was searching for the crystals.

In 1 BBY, Jalice stood in the crowds in Tythoni Square in Jedha City shortly before the partisans ambushed a group of Imperials there. Jedha City was then destroyed by the Death Star superweapon shortly after the ambush.

Crates and chaos[]

"I lied to you! I did have the crate, but Gerrera's men outwitted me and took the crate. So, it is with utmost pleasure that I give you this piece of information: Gerrera's men are hiding east of the broken statues. That's where you'll find your crate."

Jalice Andit was a human^[2] female^[3] from the moon Jedha^[1] who married the human Joali Andit and worked with him as a two-person mercenary team.^[5] Jalice also worked as a merchant, selling scavenged goods and arms.^[4] The pair came to Jedha to fight alongside the partisans led by resistance fighter Saw Gerrera, aiding them in their fight against the Empire for the thrills and credits.^[6] The couple lived together in Jedha City on the moon during its occupation by the Galactic Empire and took full advantage of the permanent chaos that prevailed there.^[3] Only loosely aligned with the partisans, they aided them in the city so long as they were allowed to participate in any outbreaks of violence and kept getting paid.^[2]

Jalice at one point stole a crate of kyber crystals from a lost pilgrim associated with the Clan of the Toribota; however, she was then outwitted by Gerrera's men, and they took the crate from her. The crystals had originally belonged to the Empire, and an Imperial spy was sent to Jedha to retrieve them. The spy tracked down the pilgrim, who pointed them toward Jalice but warned the Imperial that they would need to give her more than fifty credits worth of artifacts in exchange for the crate. Accessing an Imperial dossier that listed Jalice as having suspected past dealings with Gerrera and labeled her as someone to further investigate, the spy used the last known location from the document to find her in the Deserted Canyon, and, after providing her with two ceremonial bowls, some pearl pilgrim beads, and a pilgrim's ritual pendant that were in total worth fifty-four credits, Jalice revealed that she had lost the crate and instead gave the spy the location of the stronghold where the crate was being held.^[4]

In it for the violence[]

JaliceAndit-Unlock — Jalice Andit was a greedy and profiteering mercenary.

In 1 BBY,^[7] she stood among a crowd of on looking civilians on the edge of Jedha City's^[8] Tythoni Square^[2] as other partisans prepared to ambush an incoming group of Imperials from the surrounding buildings. Once a group of Imperial stormtroopers and a TX-225 GAVw "Occupier" combat assault tank had entered the square, the partisans attacked, and the crowd Jalice had been standing in fled.^[8]

The partisans managed to successfully take out the Imperial forces and stole several containers of kyber crystals from the tank before fleeing from incoming Imperial reinforcements. Soon after the ambush, the Empire destroyed Jedha City and the partisan base at^[8] the Catacombs of Cadera^[2] entirely using the Death Star superweapon.^[8] Some partisans on the moon successfully escaped the attack and survived, although others perished in the blast.^[9]
