Lord Bastila Shan was a Human female Jedi Padawan turned Sith apprentice and Lord during the Old Sith Wars. Born of the planet Talravin, Bastila would join the Jedi Order at a young age, becoming a strong Force-user who was famously known due to her use of a rare technique known as Battle Meditation. She was the Jedi chosen to lead the strike team that had been sent to capture the Dark Lord of the Sith Revan, but due to Malak's betrayal, the Sith Lord became badly wounded, and so she brought Revan to the Jedi Council, who proceeded to reprogram Revan's mind.
