Vel Orset was a Kel Dor Jedi Knight, friend of the fellow Kel Dor Jedi Master Plo Koon. Orset fought in the Clone Wars, a galaxy-spanning war between the Galactic Republic and the Separatists, the dissenting faction, on many planets. He was eventually killed when his own clone troopers of the 98th Division turned on him, following the execution of Order 66, a plot to kill the Jedi.
