Thongla Jur

Thongla Jur^[2] was an Anx Jedi Master^[1] who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.^[3] Jur was the owner of the somewhat timid^[4] modified R5 unit astromech droid U9-C4,^[1] who later worked with D-Squad, a Republic Military squad made up of five elite droids, to secure a Separatist encryption module.^[3] In 20 BBY,^[5] Jur was present in the Jedi Temple's communication center when Jedi Master Mace Windu gave a presentation outlining the details of the operation. Jur stood behind U9-C4 and to the left of^[3] Jedi Master^[1] Aayla Secura, the owner of the D-Squad astromech QT-KT, while Windu spoke. After the arrival of Colonel Meebur Gascon, the leader of the squad, Jur left the room.^[3]

Thongla Jur had yellow and black striped skin^[3] and yellow eyes.^[2] The Jedi wore traditional Jedi robes, altered to accommodate the physiology of an Anx by allowing the species' tail to flow freely out the back.^[3]
