| - Shaela Ven was a female Twi'lek Jedi Knight who served both the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. Ven was a respected member of the Jedi Order, serving as a Jedi Healer. During the Clone Wars, Ven chose not to lead soldiers into battlefields. A strict pacifist, Ven instead chose to lead relief efforts to planets in need, as well as serving as a healer to wounded soldiers. As the war continued, Shaela Ven eventually became the Jedi Temple's Chief Healer. With her newfound responsibilities, Ven oversaw the day-to-day operations in the Halls of Healing. Ven would later take on Caden Zhalto as her Padawan, and the two would form a strong bond, with Ven intending for Zhalto to take her role as Chief Healer someday. Shaela would eventually give her own life during Operation: Knightfall, defending the Jedi Temple from the 501st Legion and using her lightsaber for the first and last time since her knighting ceremony. Shaela died in her own Halls of Healing, slaughtered by the overwhelming amount of clone troopers.
